On this lively Thursday night edition of Paul English Live, we settle back into our regular slot with mugs of tea, a few technical gremlins, and a studio full of friends. Eric von Essex drops by for a playful debate about rooibos (redbush) tea and night cycling, Eli James jumps in early to spar over geopolitics, and we range from Remembrance plans for next week to why modern life feels too fast, too digital, and not nearly human enough. We swap stories of neighbors, therapy dogs, and bonfire-night fireworks, then dig into institutions and influence—central banks, civil services, media megaphones—and how policy choices shape everyday realities like housing, migration, and even the cost of a kettle or a car. Hour two and three lean into culture and craft: bluegrass covers (including Iron Horse’s spin on Sweet Child O’ Mine), walking songs, and a spirited tour through neo‑Luddite longings—simple cars, mechanical windows, thatched cottages, and towns built to fit their landscapes. We kick around ideas like rent‑to‑buy housing via partnerships, repairable phones (hello, Nokia G22), and small, sensible EVs, all while keeping the tone light, wry, and very human. Expect laughs, a few burps, some proper British sarcasm, and a warm invitation to join our alternative Remembrance programming in the days ahead.

Hi, everyone, and welcome back. It's, Thursday, isn't it? It is. It's Thursday, November 6. We did remember remember the November 5 yesterday. We can talk about firework displays momentarily. This is Paul English live, this Thursday. We're back at our usual time stateside as well. It's just gone 03:00. So we're all back and happy and on the same old time mess as we used to be. Welcome to the show. Well, we had such a laugh on Monday over at Eric's Fockemple Pub, whatever it was called, but, well, we've brought a few of the drinkers along this evening as well. They'll be joining us in half an hour or so, but, we should be joined by Paul and Nathan Lucius. And we may even have another guest rocking up later on, so it's gonna get quite crowded tonight. I know it should be fun.
And, I've got my tea ready tonight. Those of you that listened last week, will have heard me bleating like a little sad sap that, I'd meant to make some tea for the show and I forgot to do it. But you see, it just takes a little bit of training. One week later, here we are. I've got nearly a pint, nearly a pint here of Earl Grey, and also some apple juice. So I don't know what you've got in front of you, dear listeners, but I hope you've got something to keep your whistle wet or something like that. Somebody whose whistle is always reasonably wet and ready to chat is, Eric von Essex. And, Eric, good evening. Welcome to the show. How are you this fine November evening in jolly old England? Good evening.
[00:04:07] Unknown:
I'm I'm absolutely spiffing and jolly bees. My my whistle is rather moist. I'm using a Rhubosh tea, It's South African's Rhubosh tea. It's very nice, you know. Sorry. Does that sound a bit South African? I don't know. But, yes, with some, cow cow juice in it. You either love it or you hate it. But, I've got, you know yeah. Oh, yes. Have you tried Rhubosh? You get it in, No. Oh, you didn't get it in. It's a bit it's a bit perfumey if you I found if you get it in Aldi's. A little Yes. Tell it. Whether or not How do you spell it then? Small palette.
Oh, bloody Nora. I don't know. It's hang on. I'll look it up. Just one moment. Rhubosh tea. Rhubosh tea.
[00:04:59] Unknown:
I don't think my cat makes it. Yes. It's, it's called
[00:05:03] Unknown:
r r double o I b o s. It's the rebos. R double o. You got a sack with the South African accent. I s. Rooibos. No. No. R double o I b o s. It's it's sometimes called Redbush
[00:05:20] Unknown:
Right.
[00:05:21] Unknown:
I b o s. And,
[00:05:29] Unknown:
that what we need? We need an Afrikaans inter Roobos. Yes. Roobos. I quite like that. Roobos.
[00:05:36] Unknown:
That's what it is. I'd I don't think my cat likes We used to work with our Rhodesian chap, you see. What? Rhubarb's
[00:05:45] Unknown:
tea? No. I don't think my cat likes that. She was on my she was on my lap sitting in front of the heater for, like, a half hour before the show started. And as soon as you mentioned Rhubarb's, she got up and got down. So either she doesn't like the sound of your voice or she just detests that t. I think I'm going with the t.
[00:06:05] Unknown:
I see. Yes. Well, who could possibly be the t? Voice. This is wrong apart from a cat. Yeah. This would be wrong, wouldn't it?
[00:06:13] Unknown:
Yeah. That would be wrong. Well, I I used to work with a, I I used to work with this bloke from Zimbabwe, and we'd say, ah, you're from Zimbabwe. No. I'm from the Rhodesia. And he got very upset about that, but he just but he had a an accent, which I don't know quite why, but it it hit our funny bone. And when he said rhino, hippo, and bicycle, we're off our seats with laughter. And I don't know the reason why because he's not really funny. You know? I was I was lying on my bicycle and I saw either rhino in Hippo. And we was absolutely crying. We laughed. He said, why are you taking the piss out of me? This is the way I speak. You know? Sorry. It sounds like a rabbi, didn't it? But so no. That's that's,
[00:06:55] Unknown:
Rhodesian. It shouldn't sound like any rabbi I've met, but then I have to say I've not really met many rabbis, so I wouldn't really no. I'm not an expert on how they speak. I've met any. The other vowel sound or the main vowel sound in significant is an e sound. It's Sifliken. Everything is e, isn't it? And it was, of course, it was a rather mocked and detested accent in the nineties, I remember. And even in the eighties, I think Spitting Image used to didn't they make a whole song about I've never met a nice South African and all that kind of stuff? But I think it's a fantastic accent. I really do. I like it a lot. Yes. I kind of like it. Yes.
[00:07:32] Unknown:
Mhmm. Because the big difference between the English type and the real Afrikaans, who are Dutch heritage, the Dutch farmers. Yep. And you can actually tell a difference in their accent. There's a big difference, because they got a a they they were more of a strong accent. But Rhodesia, and I still call it Rhodesia, but it's a nice name, that is another totally different accent as well. But there's just something funny about this bloke's accent that just gave it a funny bone. And I really can't know I really do not know the reason why. It's just so that way he said things. I don't know why it was funny.
[00:08:06] Unknown:
Some people are just naturally funny and they don't know it. And they don't even like being funny, but you just can't help but laugh at them all the time. It's a bit sad, isn't it?
[00:08:15] Unknown:
It is actually. Yes. You said, I'm fed up with you taking the piss out of me, you know?
[00:08:24] Unknown:
But, it's Anyway, has there has there been anything going on in the world this week, Eric? I mean, I haven't paid attention to it. Something must have happened. Anything gone on? I'll tell you what happened. I went out for a walk this morning. Mhmm. And, I I just couldn't get the walk started. It was impossible. Well, impossible is obviously not true because I made it all the way back here to the desk armed with Earl Grey tea and some apple juice. But, within the first 200 yards of walking, I had four conversations. Four.
It took me half an hour to get to the end of the road. Yeah. Yeah. I think I must have a side of my head now that just says I'm I'm a nice bloke. Come and talk to me. Let you know one of those things. Like I'm really looking at yeah. It was great. First guy I met got brain damage so that was a bit of a long conversation but he was I'm serious. It was quite interesting. Yeah. Yeah. He'd, I think I've seen him walking around before. He had a therapy dog. I learned a lot today. So he had this dog, he said this is a therapy dog. A therapy dog. Yeah? He'd basically been out I got that I mean he could rather as challenging condition for him really. He, he goes out walking, we can still do that, and he takes his therapy dog with him, which is not a big dog or anything. It's to make him feel good so that he didn't get anxious. But what happened was he was a bit of a sort of, intense runner. He used to run a lot. He's out running with his mate, has a big has a big heart attack half an hour before the medical people could come and pick him up and it affected parts of his brain because it was starved of oxygen.
He was quite coherent when he spoke but he was just telling me that they'd given him a therapy dog, which I and I quite liked that. It's quite nice. That's quite sweet. Yeah. Yeah. It was. And and he's I said, so what what's the purpose of that? He said, it's to calm me down. He said, I stop I don't panic as much. He said, because I sometimes don't know quite what I'm doing. And then, he seemed to be very concerned about the climate, because it's very warm today. I don't know what it was like with you. We always talk about the Oh, it was fantastic.
[00:10:21] Unknown:
It was brilliant today. Wasn't it? Lovely warm. Yeah. I I went for a long walk as well, and it was really nice. I mean, I was gonna go by bike, but I thought, I don't know. I'd cycle back in the dark, and I don't really like cycling in the dark. It's just one of those things. I just prefer to say I like to cycle when it's sunny and nice. I don't like it when it's dark, so I just let a walk instead.
[00:10:40] Unknown:
I don't know what Oh, it's just a psychological thing. It's A cycle a cycle a cycle is psychological. I I look. I I think I've smashed more bikes up riding in the dark than I ever did in the day because you hit a pothole. And I I ended up actually, this is a long time since but about fifteen years back, it was we were tramming along at some speed and suddenly watch out. Of course, I couldn't see it fast enough. I was in the middle of the thing and it just completely bent me wheel all to boogery. Oh, that was a fun night. Yes. It's difficult. But modern lights on bikes are pretty amazing. There's a light half the countryside. They're stunning. Absolutely amazing things. Oh, I've been thinking about the last one. Into mountain biking and they had almost like a massive light rig all over the thing. He said, we'll be alright with this. You don't need any lights. There's like the whole landscape lights up. It's like a helicopter going through the woods. Yeah. It's pretty cool, actually. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I mean, I could've done it. You know, I have done it in the past, but,
[00:11:32] Unknown:
it's just, I think you're safer at night in many ways because when you're illuminated, you have, drivers can see you. But during the day, you know, you can sort of blend in with a background
[00:11:43] Unknown:
because, I know I don't wear any sort of a luminous vest or anything like that unless it's at night. Then I'm wearing a luminous one. But, I think what the I think what the listeners are very keen to hear and by the way, shout out to all the listeners. Hi there, everybody, on Rumble and YouTube. Hi, everybody, on radio, on WBN three two four, and on Eurofot Radio, and Holy Land Radio, and Eurofot Radio, and Global Voice Network. I can remember them all now. Yeah. I think what the listeners really want to know, Eric, because I'm sure it's cropped a bomb, is do you wear Lycra?
[00:12:15] Unknown:
No. No. The thing is, I don't actually buy any fruit. You see, when you buy wear lycra, you gotta put something like a banana and then a couple of apples down in front of your trousers. Not if you're from Yorkshire. You don't.
[00:12:29] Unknown:
Yeah. Things like that.
[00:12:32] Unknown:
But, by the way, we might have had someone else joining us after 09:00. Someone, who's, I think he's, Yogi Bear. Oh, hang on a minute. No. Sorry. He's a corporate Yogi called Greg. So he might be talking about after nine. Yeah. You mind doing that? Okay. Well, that's very inter we're gonna be that's even more packed because,
[00:12:53] Unknown:
Eli James sent me a message today saying, can I come on and talk about Venezuela? Didn't wanna talk about Vietnam, but at least it begins with V. Right? Yes. Yes. So I said, sure. Well, it's gonna be packed out. I don't think I'm gonna have to do much tonight. I think I'll just get you all rolling, and then I'm just gonna sit and drink tea and burp every now and again, to add color and atmosphere to the broadcast. I think that would be quite good. As long as it's not, yes, as long as it's just a burp and nothing else. It's interesting because today's picture, which you're probably not seeing because I forgot to fling it out all over Telegram. I've just been so distracted today having a nice time polishing my nails, you know, things like this.
It's actually of a party. So it's sort of a party. Everybody's sort of spontaneously generating light in their hand, which of course is what we do in the conversation, isn't it? So it's just a pretty picture. It doesn't really mean too much actually, but, there there we go. So it's gonna turn out to be quite a hullabaloo tonight around the microphone. I think It certainly is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 84 people in the studio. So it's quite a few, everybody. So you'll have to we'll have to send a chat out so you can keep track of all the voices as they pile in. But just going back to this chap that I was talking to. Yeah. He'd he'd, I was talking about yeah. I was talking to him. I was talking about him. He, he'd been out running, had this coronary, affected his brain, came back.
He was quite a very polite, nice guy, but he was telling me some of the challenges he's had. I mean I couldn't cope with this, like for example, he can't read books. He said I can read a page. He said the problem is I can't once I get onto the next page I can't remember what I just read on the first page. I said that must be a blow. He said yeah, he said it's really difficult. I can't sort of track things. He said if there's anything sort of linguistically complex on TV like some like us, you know, fast talking, sharp witted, rapier wisp type guys. He gets he gets flustered and lost and can't watch it. I said, oh, that's a pity. But anyway, at least he had his therapy dog. Yeah. Yeah. It was a bit much really. I mean, you know, he wasn't a spring chicken, but he wasn't ancient either. He was maturing middle years. Let's put it that way. Sixties, something early sixties. So, you know, not ancient by any means, but, yeah, nice guy. So yeah. And then over the road, next guy, another guy in shorts. So we had a talk about shorts. That lasted fifteen minutes. He's flitting off to Australia in his shorts.
Sorry.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
Oh, blimey. So you got something there, hadn't you? Yes. Well, you know, whilst you're choked to death, I'll, regarding Schultz, now better not tell that joke about the Irishman going out on top of a bus. No. No. No. Better better not say that one. Oh, that's a lot better. Oh, is that a lot better? Yes. Oh, wow. That was a bit of a surprise. Didn't like that. Yes. Because, it's before the, watershed. I can't tell you about the Irishman wanting shorts, can I? Mhmm. No. I can't tell that gag. I'll probably tell you after 10:00. It's a bit of a smarty one.
So there we go. But, by the way, did you know that next week, it's an alternative, well, it's remembrance, and every year I do an alternative remembrance. And, people on the alternative remembrance, have a connection with other one World War one, World War two, or whatever, whether it's a parent or whatever it is. And we sort of speak on their behalf, so to speak.
[00:16:09] Unknown:
So, but it's an alternative doing that? Because the eleventh is Tuesday, isn't it? The eleventh will Tuesday. So Is the that Is that right? Are you doing the show on Tuesday? He said still joking. So I sound like that old. No. No. You're doing the show on Tuesday.
[00:16:26] Unknown:
No. Actually, we're gonna do it on Monday beforehand. So it will be the Monday the where was it now? The tenth, I think it is. So we're gonna do it on Monday the tenth, and then I'm gonna do another one when Monica comes on as well. So it's gonna be part one and part two. And, we're going to, so we call it should we call it, I'm gonna call it official historic amnesia. So deliberate map so something around that idea because quite honestly what we have, we have historical amnesia. What they do is they only tell you what they want you to know, and that's it, with remembrance. So it's gonna be quite interesting, and I'm also going to talk about how those who survived the charge of the light brigade, how many of them ended up in the workhouse in complete poverty.
So there we go. And people not many people would know that. Yeah.
[00:17:25] Unknown:
Well, obviously
[00:17:26] Unknown:
yeah. Hopefully, you don't get amnesia about the show and forget to do I mean, that would be although it would illustrate the point brilliantly well, wouldn't it? It could illustrate the point. It would do. It would do. Yes. I might actually on the eleventh. I might what I sometimes do is have a recorded show that goes out at the eleventh hour at 11:00 so people can tune in exactly on that time, and I set it up to to go out automatic. So, I might do that on the Tuesday. So,
[00:17:52] Unknown:
stay tuned. You never know. Well, I'll tell you what. Although this is no promises, if you wanted to go live on Tuesday morning, we could do that at 11:00 till midday. How about an hour? That wouldn't be bad. That would be brilliant. That really would be brilliant. We can go on Soapbox. We all get out here on WBN. I think their schedule's all full ups,
[00:18:09] Unknown:
but, we could go live. Thanks, Paul.
[00:18:12] Unknown:
Well, we can stick it over a couple of YouTube channels. I'll stick it on my channel and stuff like that and rumble and stuff, and we can just do an hour on a on a Tuesday morning. It's like a trial date for a breakfast show. So I'll do that. Oh, that that would be fantastic.
[00:18:24] Unknown:
Because I always start it off with a minute of hearing birdsong as a sort of, I don't know. It's just to start the emotion off. So I just do one minute of birdsong so people can hear birds whistling and things like that as a kind of I don't know, a bit of respect. That's it. You know? And, but, it's not solemn. I I I keep it a bit lighthearted. So I really look forward to that. Thanks, Paul. That's much appreciated. I look that's fantastic. And, of course, that was in the autumn. And '25.
[00:18:55] Unknown:
2025,
[00:18:56] Unknown:
aren't we, sir? And it's exactly eighty years since World War two, isn't it?
[00:19:01] Unknown:
Ended. Ended. Yes. Good grief. So it is. You know, I've forgotten about it. And World War three started. I suppose. And It's back to back. Straight off straight into the whole thing. Absolutely. Yes. Oh, no. Well, that's good. Okay. Well, so we'll keep everybody notified. That's just, we shouldn't sort of big up other shows than when we're doing this one. But, yeah. We'll do something Tuesday morning, 11:00, English time, of course. So That's right. Probably useless for Americans, 06:00 in the morning. But never mind. We'll put it out and replay something a bit later in the day. Now that'll be fun. We can talk about that. Well, fun's probably the wrong word. That would be a good thing to do. So that would be a good thing to do. Yeah. I look forward to that.
[00:19:40] Unknown:
And it's always an alternative one. So it's it's very different to what you'd the the official stuff. Often controversial. So what? He says this, so that's so it is it's gotta be a little bit controversial, but still respecting everybody that was in any war regardless of their nationality. Anybody in war, that's it, you know? So there we go. Hello, Eli. We just mentioned that so that is it's World War three starting next weekend. Can you put it off, mate? Because we wanna do our show. Early. I'm gonna bring Eli in now. Let me just add him to the stage.
[00:20:14] Unknown:
You're an early bird, Eli. We're we're having mayhem here in the studio tonight. We're completely oversubscribed with everybody's rocket, but it's great to have you. How are you? Anyway
[00:20:24] Unknown:
I'm I'm I'm fretting about the start of World War three, but but go ahead. Go ahead, Eric. You were gonna say something. Yeah. Yeah. I can explain. I was actually gonna come on, because Eric wanted me to talk more about Vietnam. And so we can do that another time. Yeah. Mhmm. And, you know Eli. The whole yeah. Right. Yeah. Eric. Yeah.
[00:20:48] Unknown:
Yeah. Can I ask a favor? I mean, would you like to come on, the, because I'm gonna do two remembrances, alternative remembrance. And if you'd like to speak about Vietnam, that'd be fantastic.
[00:21:01] Unknown:
Is that the next Tuesday you guys are talking about? Alternative
[00:21:05] Unknown:
remembrance? I can't I can't hear you. The voice is your voice is breaking up. Oh. Is that better? Oh, really? Okay.
[00:21:13] Unknown:
I'm hearing you, nice and clear.
[00:21:15] Unknown:
You're fine, Neil. I think that must have just been a bit of Internet cofuffledge there for Eric. Is it cleared up a bit for you, Eric, now? Is it okay? Can can you hear it, Paul? Can you hear it? Yeah. Yeah. I can't. He's breaking up. Loud and clear.
[00:21:27] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So World War three has come to your neighborhood, Eric. Right. Yeah. I I've had problems with my Internet. Really strange. My my entire Google Chrome just shut off, and I had to re reload it. That's never happened before. I don't know how that happened.
[00:21:48] Unknown:
Oh, interesting. My entire Windows system shut down today. Oh, that's right. First time ever. Well, that So yeah. First, I mean, for I've had this problem about I've had this system about two years. It's worked it works really well. There was no it just locked. I had to literally turn the power off. I hate doing that because you think I'm gonna but it's, fingers crossed, everything's working. But I've I think I mentioned I've been looking at Linux actually to move over to it. But from an audio point of view, it really is a pain in the bottom. I'm just so but I've I've got to go to it because Windows is, interestingly Linux on the desktop is growing very quickly and Windows has absolutely stalled. And I think it's absolutely stalled. And I think it's cost what they're doing is they're doing the bait and switch now, big time. I think Windows 11 or whatever the next one is that you've got to have. Yeah. Yeah. They they've got all these subscription services. They wanna tap you up for $5 a month there and $6 a month there. And I'm just sick of all that. Oh, so you can be spied on. No. You're being spied on anyway. I don't wanna pay to be yeah. We're being paid to be spied we're paying to be spied on. This is just outrageously wrong. If they're gonna they should be paying us to spy on us. Surely, we should get a spy fee, shouldn't we? Surely. The spies. We're the spiees. Something like that. Right.
[00:23:04] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Eric, can you hear me any better now or what? No.
[00:23:10] Unknown:
I think it's an Eric issue, actually. Eric, are you okay? He's disappeared.
[00:23:15] Unknown:
I'm fine, but I can't hear Eli. He's he seems to be breaking up.
[00:23:20] Unknown:
Wow. Is Chris is well, is Chris let me just check-in chat and everything, because I've I should be broadcasting fine. Yeah. Just a quick shout out to chat, Rumble, and YouTube. Everybody hearing picking Eli up okay. I'm getting it loud and clear here, so I'm assuming it's just getting transmitted perfect
[00:23:37] Unknown:
because Yeah. But Eric Eric lives right next door to you, doesn't he?
[00:23:42] Unknown:
He's just down the road in Fuckingham Hall. He's in yeah. He's in Fuckingham Hall Fields running around there chasing the cows right now. That's what's going on. Yeah. Loud and clear. Eric sees him breaking up. I don't know what it is.
[00:23:54] Unknown:
Yeah. Maybe, Eric, maybe you could just reboot
[00:23:58] Unknown:
and come back in. Why don't you leave the studio and come back in again? You might just go up there. Is that okay, Paul? I'll I'll come out and I'll come back in. How's that? Yeah. Cool.
[00:24:07] Unknown:
I'll I'll add you back to the stage as soon as you've gone. Am I breaking up?
[00:24:10] Unknown:
No. You're fine. No. I I I hear him fine. Yep. We hear you fine. This this was his audio. This was his audio. So sometimes you just have to reboot to make things work right again.
[00:24:24] Unknown:
Yeah. K. The wonders of life, Blue Breeze. Paul, shall I reboot?
[00:24:28] Unknown:
I don't think you need to reboot. I think you need to just Is it me? Studio. Because I just can't hear Eli at all. He's just breaking up. You're on a big lag. Very loud and clear.
[00:24:37] Unknown:
Yeah. Yep. We're on a bit of a time lag even with you, Eric. There's something going on at your end, I think. Why don't you just come out of the studio and then come back in again? Let's see if that clears you don't you shouldn't have to do a reboot for this. It's,
[00:24:49] Unknown:

Do you mind if I drink my tea everywhere? It goes cold. I've got a huge vat of Earl Grey tea here and I just realized they ignored him. He's getting cold. This is no good. Yeah. I did a slurp real time. I I could add slurps for, to add atmosphere and stuff like that. But, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eric is muttering to himself. I can hear that,

He's he's I think he's gone to the count of Fockem's Fockem's best bitter. He just needs a couple of beers inside him. He'll be fine. And then we should get the productivity back. The other Paul is asking you a question, I think.
[00:25:56] Unknown:
Sorry. I'm talking to some American Paul. Who are you?
[00:25:59] Unknown:
Yeah. Who are you?
[00:26:02] Unknown:
Anyway, what do you do here? Emmy Paul. Hi. Hi, Eli. For a change, I can hear everybody. I can hear everybody perfect, even Eric. So I don't know what's going on. Alright. Maybe maybe he's still using Windows.
[00:26:18] Unknown:
Yeah. I don't know. Eric Eric, are you picking us all up properly? He's back on stage. Yeah. Eric, welcome back to the studio. How are you doing? Have you put your trousers on now?
[00:26:29] Unknown:

[00:26:38] Unknown:
Okay? Yeah. I think he he might have to reboot. He's definitely having serious Internet issues at the moment. Yeah. He's back on stage, but we can't even hear him. So there's something going on. Yeah. Yeah. It's reboot.
[00:26:50] Unknown:
My my back I think Whenever I have a problem like this, I just automatically reboot.
[00:26:54] Unknown:
I think it's a conspiracy. I really do.
[00:26:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, what isn't a conspiracy? Exactly. Okay. What is a conspiracy? So okay. Well, there's so much going on. And, the reason I I I checked in early is because, World War three, it it looks like it's getting ready to start next weekend. You probably heard about the Donald Trump, who I'm gonna call Trumpstein from now on.
[00:27:25] Unknown:
Oh, that's a bit Because it
[00:27:27] Unknown:
yeah. Because he's a he's a shill for the bad guys. No doubt about it. No. And Really? Yeah.
[00:27:33] Unknown:
Right? Right?
[00:27:35] Unknown:
Yep. Well, he doesn't wear a yarmulke every day. He just wears it when he goes to Israel and bangs his head on the railing wall. He he's he's a decidedly ambivalent figure, isn't he? And, Oh, yeah. For most people. Yes.
[00:27:48] Unknown:
He is. Because, I mean, it's a bit like, clocks, you know, stop clocks being right twice a day. He's a bit like that. Some of the things he says you go, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the other stuff you go, no, no, no. Definitely not ever, ever, ever.
[00:28:02] Unknown:
Did he say that?
[00:28:04] Unknown:
Yeah. It's like a schizophrenic thing. I mean, I think, you know, we have to I just keep winding back to my base position with all of this because it's exhaust I find it exhausting trying to keep up with the next, you know, day of lies or whatever, is that these guys, including Trump, are not in charge. He's not in charge at all. Of course not. Yeah. That's it. It's not even about him. He's just he's doing a very good acting job. I'm sure they're quite pleased with him. Oh, man. What's the I mean, the idea that he's in charge is just it's nonsense like a bloody comic book. Yeah. A bad comic book of that. Comic book sounds a bit more intelligent than this sort of stuff. It's ridiculous.
[00:28:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, every a a human marionette bouncing up and down on the strings of his handlers, it's gotta make him dizzy. Mhmm. He's gotta be getting dizzy, and that's why he slips up every once in a while. Okay? He's got to slip up because Yeah. You can only keep so many lies running around your head for so long without slipping up. And the Internet is full of slip ups these days.
[00:29:08] Unknown:
It is. Yes. It is. I I thought the really the bit of news that's obviously struck my earlobes, I've not bothered checking it out, is that I understand that New York have got a new mayor. Paul would know things about this, wouldn't it Paul? You're within earshot of New York, aren't you? You're you're within the environs of the yes. So it sounds as though you're in for a thrilling time just like Londoners have been for the last x number of years by having somebody in the role that really shouldn't even be in the nation, let alone in that role. No. Or am I No. Absolutely. Am I I got a question. Yeah.
[00:29:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Amipal. Amipal. Amipal. Ami means my people in Hebrew. Is your new Muslim mayor going to admit that the Muslims did nine eleven, or is he gonna point the finger elsewhere?
[00:29:56] Unknown:
I don't know. I don't even think he should be, sworn in as mayor. Because Yeah. I agree with you. I agree with you. It's no secret that The United States has been under a state of emergency since Lincoln. And under the War Powers Act, the president has the ultimate control over the country with even without, approval by Congress or Senate. So if Trump was actually had his head somewhere separate from his backside, which I'm not so sure is the case, all he would have to do is he would have to declare the requisites for any political f office, any public service office, to be the same as that of the highest position in the land, natural born citizen of The United States. Oh. Natural born citizen. He's not gonna do that.
That would eliminate all oh, that Omar would be gone. Cortez would be gone. Yeah. Everybody would Probably Everybody would be gone, and we'd go back to American people in politics working for the American people and not for the globalist.
[00:31:11] Unknown:
So Right. Well, Nancy Pelosi is gone. She just retired. That's good.
[00:31:16] Unknown:
Oh, that's good. She can went off.
[00:31:19] Unknown:
She's she's probably Where is she? Where is she at? She at California? Yeah. She's a California person. Yeah. She's probably camped out in her comfy easy chair surrounded by gourmet ice cream, trying to pick which flavor she's good to sample.
[00:31:35] Unknown:
Yeah. That sounds quite appealing, actually. I I have you got a number? I won't mind going over and Yeah. Hanging out with her for the gourmet ice cream. That sounds quite appealing, Paul. That's That's quite nice. That was that was the ridiculous stuff that was going on during COVID.
[00:31:48] Unknown:
I mean, she's in lockdown. I mean, people are hungry because they can't work. Right. And she is giving a tour of her, $10,000 refrigerator that is stocked with gourmet ice cream. I mean, only gourmet ice cream. It it was absolutely ridiculous. And then she went and got her hair done at a salon
[00:32:12] Unknown:
when everybody else Well, eating ice cream.
[00:32:16] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, she went and got her hair done at a salon. I don't even think she was wearing a mask. Everybody was locked down. Nobody it was essential personnel only, but getting Nancy's haircut was essential, apparently. Right. Yeah. I don't I you can't make this stuff up. Well, when you're
[00:32:35] Unknown:
when you're that humanly disfigured, you need, frequent changes of hairstyle.
[00:32:41] Unknown:
Yeah. I guess. No. Not even if you're distract people from the wrinkles.
[00:32:46] Unknown:
Right. There you
[00:32:48] Unknown:
go. So we should get a face lift anyway. That's why women have all these face creams they use all the time, which probably dry out your skin more than they do anything else.
[00:32:59] Unknown:
So, yeah, it's a What's been the Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What's been the kind of prescription the new Oh, sorry. I I would oh, I gotta share this. Go ahead.
[00:33:12] Unknown:
This is really exciting. It's
[00:33:14] Unknown:
no. It's it's a commercial. It's for a face cream. I don't remember what it's for a moisturizer.
[00:33:24] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:33:25] Unknown:
And they say one of the ingredients is hydrourea. Mhmm. And that's why it moisturizes so well.
[00:33:36] Unknown:
Urea. Is this another word? Yes. Yes. Yes. Alright. It's got this in it. They call it hydro urea.
[00:33:45] Unknown:
So, oh my god. I gotta get some of that.
[00:33:49] Unknown:
It's people are so ridiculous.
[00:33:51] Unknown:
Yeah. Right. You can ingest it too. Right? I'll just look it up for a word.
[00:34:00] Unknown:
That shows you how you react. Give me more of that.
[00:34:03] Unknown:
Oh, well, that reminder that I just read a post this morning about how the big pharma is changing the word vaccinate to some, some gibberish word that is just, alternative word. Maybe I can bring that up. Maybe there's an article about that that they're gonna stop using the word vaccinate, and they're gonna replace it with something, you know, totally vague. Vaccinate. Maybe I can yeah. There you go. Yeah. It's a if you if you're not, if you're not a member of the in crowd, you're hallucinating.
[00:34:41] Unknown:
Get your latest hallucination. Yeah. I don't know what are they gonna replace that? I still get my, I we still get reminders here on my well, I do. Anyway, I suppose everybody else does from my local GPs. Time for your flu shot. No, he isn't? Yeah. That's the one. Non stop. Non stop. But, yeah, I mean, we just interacting with that the whole edifice of the madness is not good for your health. It's it's just better to slope off. I I've mentioned before I had a a discussion with a doctor a few years ago about this and I said I I'm just going to die. Thank you very much. Okay? I don't care. I'm certainly gonna die with your vaccine inside me. So I'll just take the risk. Is that alright? You know, I'll just make my own decisions. Don't mind. I'll take the consequences.
Okay? But, they don't want that. They want to save you all the time. They're always they insist on saving you even though you don't ask for being saved. So it's it's part of the problem. Paul, I was just wondering, what's been the response anyway to the arrival of your new mayor? Is he yours, by the way? I suppose you probably think he's pretty good. No.
[00:35:44] Unknown:
No. He's not my mayor. He's, he's No. New York City mayor.
[00:35:49] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[00:35:51] Unknown:
I live I live in a small town five and a half hours away from there, so I'm I'm pretty much safe. And besides, everybody in Upstate And Central New York has always been petitioning for, New York, New York to be its own country or to be its own state. Right. I mean, we we've we we disavowed them
[00:36:13] Unknown:
a long time ago.
[00:36:16] Unknown:
Right. We we expatriated them. I mean We,
[00:36:21] Unknown:
You know how, in recent years, some of your sports teams have had to change their names because of them being portrayed as being offensive to American Indians? Like, I think the baseball team, the Cleveland Indians are now known as the Cleveland something or others nationals. I don't know what they're known as, but they're not the Indians anymore. And I'm assuming that's maybe possibly occurred in American football. Has there been anybody any talk now of changing the names again to reflect your the new master in New York? I mean, you know, I don't know what names I'm if I say them, they'll be very rude and and wrong and I'll get locked up. So I don't want to. But is there any chance that they're gonna change the names? I mean, maybe the New York Yankees needs to change their name to, I don't know, New York Hindus or something? What do you think? Wonkies. Oh, goddamn. Wonkies. I know. Honkies.
I don't know. It it's all after It's not all that far. Don't worry. I'll be coming down the line. You'll have all the joys of that to face in the years to come. It's absolutely bizarre. I mean, we've had it over we've got it going on over here. Nobody ever points out why these people are even allowed to be on the ballot. That's the main thing. They just shouldn't even be on the ballot. I mean, it's just it's a nonsense. But, we know who's pulling the strings. By the way, I've mentioned here before and, it's too long to play in total. It's about about fifteen minutes long. Although we played it earlier today on Soapbox.
I've mentioned here repeatedly the great little brief clip that Liz Truss recorded, about a year ago with, Steve Bannon. I think it was back in January 2024, so nearly two years ago now. And, she's just in an interview with a newspaper over here called the Daily Express and it's even better. I I was trying to get some clips for today's show, but I haven't been able to do that. But we might play some of them next week. These are sort of they don't really have a time stamp on them. They're gonna be relevant for a long time to come. The interview was, amusing in parts as the interviewer, not the sharpest knife in the drawer I have to say, came out with some blitheringly stupid sort of recommendations.
And at one point they were talking about the bank. You see, she's the only person in power that I'm aware of that ever addresses the issue of the central bank over here. And as you know, it's my it's the thing that I keep on alighting on. I'm going, we we sort this one out first then we'll find out what problems we actually do have. You don't sort that out, you're not sorting anything out. Anyway, they're talking about the governor of the Bank of England is a chap called Andrew Bailey And Truss is wonderfully dismissive of him, which I just thought was tremendous, basically.
But she was giving an insight into the political makeup of the governors of the Bank of England and of most of the heads of the civil service over here. And we also have these things over here called permanent secretaries and they are permanent. And there's about 30 odd of them, 30 plus. I can't remember the exact number. There's over 30, less than 40, I think. These guys and gals are basically ensconced for life in their positions and, of course, have never been elected and most of the public don't even know who they are. But she was repeatedly making the completely permanently useful point that the prime minister's not in charge. And and it's true and it's really got to be got across. Although Keir Starmer is, of course, the greatest freak ever to occupy Downing Street and he's a complete waste of space, and is an appalling sort of person to actually have him there, but a perfect actor for them. She points out repeatedly that he's not in charge and it's just a point that needs to be hammered on. Now when they were talking about the governor of the Bank of England, the interviewer said she said, you know, the question is do we have people who are democratically elected? Of course, I'm not into democracy either, but, you know, this is the least worst thing apparently.
Or do you have experts? And the guy said, experts. Interviewer said Right. We need experts that know about banking. And she said, ah, well, what you've just done there is you've revealed yourself as a globalist. And he starts laughing because he realizes that he has. I mean, it's mad. It's completely mad. And Bailey and all these other people, they are they're the ones that are causing the the immigration into the nation. They're the ones that are causing it. They're the ones that are giving the dictated orders to the political, actors to say these things.
When the actors want to do anything, they're just told you can't do it. These people, we need them exposed. We need their names and addresses. We wanna know everything about them. There needs to be an investigation. I hate that word because it's useless. But there needs to be awareness created about who these people actually are and why we haven't elected them, why they're taking decisions that are literally destroying our nation just like you've had, a mayor elected in New York who should not be there. Somebody higher up the food chain is obviously opening the gates, clearing the ways, and keeping any interference from that process well away by threats. The the politicians will be threatened in some way that they can't actually Yeah. You know, so the politicians can't represent you. So what's the point of voting for them? I mean, this is this is really the key thing. And, they even bring I think in the interview, they bring up Nigel Farage, and I mentioned it. Won't mind going for a beer with him. Don't want him anywhere near the levers of power. And she said it won't make any difference. It won't make any difference at all if he's in. In fact, it'll probably be worse because he's just gonna follow city orders more fluidly because he understands their language.
So this it's this cast of characters, whoever they ultimately may be, that need to be, the public needs to be made aware of them and we need to find a mechanism to have them not be in those roles. I mean, I think these people should set exams and the public should actually see, get, their exam papers. I'm quite serious. I mean, you know, if you've got morons literally or political ideologues, I mean they're not stupid, I've got that, right? But they're championing an ideology that literally no one in this country wants. We don't subscribe to it. We don't consent to it. Yet this doesn't seem to matter. So, you know, this is how the sort of national bullying process is being carried out here. And you've got something very similar going on on that side of the water as well. It's on a different scale. It's got different theatrics to it, but the substance is pretty much the same, it seems to me. That's that's really what's going on. Anymore.
[00:42:31] Unknown:
What we used to have is civil service exams. Anybody that wanted wanted a job in government had to take a civil service exam. They had to develop they had to demonstrate a certain level of intelligence and proficiency. Well, I don't think they did that anymore. I just don't. No.
[00:42:51] Unknown:
Yep.
[00:42:52] Unknown:
Why not? Well, here.
[00:42:54] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, here. I've got the answer. I've got the answer. What, these big cities, mainly democratic cities, are doing because they're all going bankrupt. And the only way they can ward off bankruptcy because they can't, like, the federal government, they can't and, the big banks who create their own money and pay their own way with the inflationary money, The cities can't do that. So but what what the next best thing they have is by importing all of these illegal aliens, they get a welfare check cut to the city, and then the city has all the money they need to disperse funds for all these newly, should we say naturalized, or is that not the correct word? Newly, settled, maybe?
[00:43:43] Unknown:
Newly re settled? That's newly injected into.
[00:43:47] Unknown:
Right? Yeah. Like a virus? Prospective virus is alien.
[00:43:51] Unknown:
To a to a people that they shouldn't be part of. Yeah. It's like it's like a fungus. Yeah. It's a big deal. Right. Like a like a fungus.
[00:44:00] Unknown:
A humongous, but also humongous. That's that's what it is. Right. Fungus. Oh, that's a good song. Have you ever heard that song? There's a fungus among us. We got static in the attic. You should play that song. Anyway, this is the strategy used by the Democrats and, you know, whether it's a sanctuary mayor like, or or governor like Pritzker in Illinois or mayor, you know, because we had a whole bunch of sanctuary mayors in Chicago for it's going on thirty years now. And this is how they get their money from it. It's not a direct, let's fund illegal immigrants, but that's the way it works. Okay? And it probably works that way in England too and all the other countries of Europe that have a illegal immigration problem.
[00:44:47] Unknown:
Yep. Okay. Well, one of the one of the words that trust goes on to make, and I'm only saying this, although it applies to England, it'll be equally applicable to you, in fact, possibly more so. She was talking about the Conservative party who used to be the party that was in power prior to the current incumbent. You can call it insert phrase, but if you want there.
[00:45:08] Unknown:
Right.
[00:45:09] Unknown:
Is that In the incumbents. A very large percentage of the elected MPs support this, what's taking place to the nation. Why? Because it's lining their pockets with money. That's how low a level of moral and ethical behavior you've got in that pit of rats. They're Okay. It's just they're not fit for leadership. What they're involved in is an abusership. They're just abusing their position. And they're standing in the way, you know.
[00:45:42] Unknown:
Paul and Paul, which biblical character does this remind you of?
[00:45:49] Unknown:
Which bit? Someone standing in the way?
[00:45:53] Unknown:
No. No. Who who is a a traitor to his own people for whatever. His name begins with e. Oh. Oh, that that's well, he came later. He became later. Yeah. How about Jacob's brother, the race trader
[00:46:10] Unknown:
This is true. Yep. Esau. Right?
[00:46:14] Unknown:
These people are all imitating Esau by being traitors to their own race by lining their potty pockets and acting like mister big shot wherever they go. Yep. At our expense.
[00:46:28] Unknown:
Absolutely. Yeah. It is I mean Is it simple? It's an yeah. Liz someone's written in the in the comments that Liz Truss is underrated. And she is very much so. I I well, she is. The thing is, she was mocked and pilloried more than this oath that Xin has ever been. She was only about forty seven days and everybody likes to go, oh, that idiot with her stupid economic plans. Anybody that makes that comment hasn't studied them. And even if they did, they wouldn't understand what they mean. And this is why she needs more airtime, really. I mean, I'm glad she's not in politics. And it's not as if I'm a big Liz Truss supporter. That's not what I'm saying. It's just that when you hear truth from anybody you need to encourage more of it. And she said more, as I've said, than anybody I know of in recent living memory over here with pointing to the real problem area. I mean, they talk about I can't remember. We've got Rachel Reeves. Right? There's a woman called Rachel Reeves. Rachel in accounts she's been mocked at. She's coming up with the most ludicrous economic policies. They're just nuts. They're taxing everybody. They're doing all this. And and as Truss points out, she said, it's not her plan.
The people that run the government, the Bank of England, same thing, the real government, they're all Keynesian economists. They believe in tax and spend. And because that's what Keynes was all about. Just keep taxing everybody, spend it, we'll have big infrastructure projects, it'll all work out. No, it won't. It doesn't. It never has. I mean, traditionally over here, and I guess it's similar to between your sort of Republicans and Democrats, although it's the the line's faded so much between all the parties. We've just got the the uni party now and have had it now for fifteen, twenty years, is that the Conservatives had a reputation for being fiscally responsible and restrictive, I. E. Not spend spend spend spend and sought to encourage private enterprise, which we'd all go along with. And the Labour Party being a socialist thing have always whacked up taxes and we're gonna, do all these things because we're all in it together. And of course the Labour thing has has always left the most terrible account book for the Conservative party to pick up. Now those roles used to be like that maybe forty years ago. It's not been like that for a long time, unfortunately. They're just basically singing from the same hymn sheet. But if you've got the people who are managing the banking system for your nation, willfully pushing an ideology of tax and spend, of allowing immigrants in to assist their mates in business to get, workers at low wage rates. That's what this is all about, all of these sorts of things.
You've got really organized treason And that's what it is, this is organized treason. And, speaking of which, yesterday, was remember remember the November 5, which is a big deal over here, where we celebrate. The official story is that we're celebrating the unsuccessful attempt of Guido Forks, Guy Forks, to blow up the houses of parliament. Of course, it's morphed in recent times. People actually go out to firework displays to talk about how it actually really could get the task completed. And, yesterday yesterday down here, there was a big firework display off the pier and I haven't been for a few years and so my son said, come on. Let's walk down and go out. It was a beautiful evening. Full moon, really mild, no rain, clear skies, great night for burning 10,000 pounds worth of fireworks or whatever they spent. I don't mind. Huge crowd. Massive crowd.
Generally good natured. In fact, very good natured all the way. We walked back along the sea, waves crashing around my feet. It was all really rather beautiful actually on a November evening. It was good. As we got back nearer to the house, there's a neighbor of mine who I see every now and again walking across on the other side of the road. So I end up talking to her about it. I said, have you have you had a nice time with the fireworks? You know, we're sort of sending you she said, oh, it was lovely, wasn't it? Because everybody goes oh and ah, you know what it's like with firework displays, but it is over here. And, she said, you know, we just got around to talking about it. She said, well it's a pity he wasn't successful.
Geez, I didn't have to say anything. And I said, oh I don't think I could go along with that madam, that's outrageous. She starts laughing of course, I'm sending her up a bit. I said that's a shocking thing to say about all those honest hard working people up there who've got the nation's interest at heart. She said yes they do don't they? It was wonderfully English sarcastic conversation. We were being extremely ironic with one another. It was great. But that is the sentiment. There's a lot of it around. Yeah. It's quite natural. Yeah. Because it's very simple. People were just being treated with extreme rudeness and being dismissed by organized treason. So treason, Blair changed the law book so that you couldn't be hung for treason. But, that's Tony Blair. He's just a bloke who turned up and just had a job as an actor. He didn't mean no as far as I'm concerned.
These people are destroying our nation. There's no two ways about it. Absolutely no two ways about it. Yeah. Because they're making money doing it. Yeah. Yep. Who who might be paying them?
[00:51:29] Unknown:
Who might be creating money out of nothing to bribe all of these politicians to be traitors to their own people?
[00:51:38] Unknown:
Well, I do. Which which
[00:51:40] Unknown:
okay.
[00:51:41] Unknown:
But you're you're a banking specialist. We could we could speculate. I mean, the one I mean, one of my well, I do, but I don't really, that we don't need to really plunge into that one because I think Yeah. Well, even if you were to get hold of all the people that you thought were doing it, the real challenge is how do you actually cut out the disease? And it Right. You know, I do I do spend I waste brain cycles thinking about this from time to time, thinking what would be the pragmatic challenges of doing it? Has it ever been done before? How was it done? Yes. It has been done before. How was it done? It required democratic votes and overwhelming majorities and a little bit of elbow grease, I e toughness, I e physical violence was required in nearly all instances to part these people from the the seats that they currently occupy.
And of course, we're dealing with such a mature, sophisticated surveillance system and all this, that and the other, that it's as if, you know, we're like wrapped up by a boa constrictor. It's not good. It's not good. But I still think it's worth Starting to hurt.
[00:52:47] Unknown:
Yep. Absolutely. It's starting to hurt. Oh, here's a good headline for you. Woman fatally shot after arriving at wrong address for cleaning job. Can you, well, she is a a Mexican, probably doesn't speak English. Right. That's the chances you take, and this is what happens when you import illegal aliens who can't even speak the language of the country they're invading.
[00:53:12] Unknown:
Well, they're not really invade I mean, I know I mean, they use that phrase over here invaders, but they're not, are they? They haven't planned the invasion. They haven't executed it. They haven't even paid for it. They haven't even there's no you know, it's designed to create the Rook by this other force in the background. Yeah. Yeah. I'll tell you why he's encouraging Eli. I mean, I do spend a bit of time on X and and I've mentioned it last week. Many of the posts on X, the intensity of the criticism is going up and being left unchecked, which is good. And also the responses on many of the threads are the bulk of them are excellent. I mean, you only have to get one idiot remark in there.
And it used to be the other way around. Right? You just get all this wokest claptrap from sort of lovey dovey types who are obviously, you know, immature, basically insane as far as I'm concerned. They're not sane people. They haven't got sane things to say. It's very much the other way around. So when you see one of these stupid let's love everybody type comments and, migrants are a great asset to the country, they get hammered with all these responses but in a very sort of English way. Very sort of polite, which is the best way to do it. But pointing out to these people that they're just, you know, please, you know, explain yourself what do you possibly mean? And I think there's a story missing, you see. I think there is a positive story to be told here or at least one that's not so negative, which is that there is an arrangement for peoples that would work for all peoples and it does include respect and it does include all the things that they want but it means everybody stays at home.
That's the bottom line. It means the vast majority of people stay in their ancient cultural homelands. I'm always banging on about this but it's worth banging on about because it's true, you know, because most of the solutions that we hear are to solve the problem now on the ground and make it better. This is not a solution at all. It can't be made better. The the problem is the location of huge numbers of people who understandably want to live life the way that they want to live it and they're entitled to do that. They're just not entitled to do it in my home without my consent and I never gave it and it's been assumed somehow that we did and that's where the violence is. It's a violent situation by our own government, supposedly, against us. They're the perpetrators of this and I think that penny is dropping now with more and more people. You're seeing more people say it's the government itself that is the very problem. Yes, at last, we're getting there. So don't start casting votes.
Yeah, we're getting somewhere. We are. I want to play a little clip here. It's only a couple of minutes long. It's from a thirty five minute interview which is for me was absolutely brilliant. A brilliant clip. A guy called Robin, let me just get his name right, Robin Pickett. Robin Pickett. Somebody kindly posted this on the Telegram group the other week, shout out to that, that was fantastic. I went off and this is just a two minute clip, and I went and listened to the full thirty five minute interview. But this is an Englishman, a a proper one, right, speaking out just ask answering a lot of questions. It was filmed just in front of, the houses of parliament. It's quite recent. Just get your logos around this because this is quite good for a couple of minutes. This just gives you a flavor of it. Because That's what it seems like. It seems like racist equals white
[00:56:30] Unknown:
because no black man can be racist to me. If it if if I criticize a Jew, I'm an anti sem semi. If I criticize an Islamic, I'm an Islamophobe. What are you if you criticize me? What are you if you try and replace me? What are you if you try and tell me I'm wrong for wanting to protect my children? Apparently, you're a perfectly reasonable person. But I'm a racist for wanting to protect my future. No. Bullshit. I totally disco I don't accept the 14 words as a thing. I think it's ridiculous that anyone could even say that they own this concept as every human thinks this thing.
Black people go on and on and on about black. Asians, Indians will tell you that India is the best at this, the in this is Indian, that's Indian, everything's brilliant that is Indian. Good for you! You love your people! I'm glad for you! I love mine! Head off. So don't call me on a racist just because you don't like the word white. If you don't like the word white, maybe you shouldn't live in a white country. Like, really. If you don't like white people, go away. White people live here. But I'm really I'll be honest. I'm really sick of it. I'm sick of us being exceptionalised. This is happening every western country. What we used to call Christendom is under attack by its own people, by its own elite.
And we're supposed to just sit here and be arrested for having an opinion. No. No. I'm not a racist because I'm white. I'm a racist because I'm a human. Every human is racist. It's normal to love your own people more than you love other people. It's normal. The creation of the word racist doesn't suddenly make me an evil person. It's a concept. It's not even a real thing. It's called in group bias and out group bias. It's genetics. It's frustrating, to be honest, that these questions even exist.
[00:58:24] Unknown:
Robin for you. I think that's absolutely that's just a short clip. The the rest of it is just as good. He's absolutely he nails things as an English layman would. He's a carpenter. Right? And we know some of the guys that were carpenters. They turned out to be pretty cool too. Yeah. It's fantastic. Well, apparently, he's been interviewed before, but the way that he puts it across is exactly the way that many, many English ears can hear it. So when you've got people like Tommy Robinson and this, that, and the other, that's no good. For me it's no good.
What it is is part there's a subtle sort of agitation via taking place. All that we've got to sort this out by this no no no no no we it'll it'll never get sorted out like that. The simple truth is that you know we are we're exceptionalized And all of these things are just being applied to us and only to us. And and this penny, when it drops and it's dropping faster and this is why they're pushing things quicker and quicker, they won't be able to contain it because they shouldn't be able to contain it. And this is just nature through the people kicking back. It's encouraged listening to him. Seriously, I I just had this massive smile. The whole thirty seven minute thing, we're gonna start playing it regularly on Soapbox because it's just a brilliant interview. It's It's only been listened to by a couple of thousand people, of course, at the moment, but I need to publicize it more. It's just I just think it's spot on. The guys in the street, there's a lot of guys in the street, are sharp as razors and know exactly what's going on. It's just a matter of mustering these voices together into one sort of choir and getting it going. And one of the things that Liz Truss was talking about in the interview, I know this is old kind of stuff, but she was talking about media and she said the main problem we've got and I, you know, we say it here, it's not that we don't know the truth, it's that we don't have a big enough media mouthpiece to project it out on such a scale that it begins to be absorbed more rapidly by a huge number of people to change the tone of people's thinking.
And we've got it, you know, the ones that get scared, are you gonna do violence and all this? And we know we're not. That's what we're trying to avoid. It's the other side that are saying peace, peace, peace that are causing all the friction. It's mad. As you know, it's absolutely mad and I'm exhausted with it as well. It's completely mad. It really is.
[01:00:39] Unknown:
Okay. Alright. Oh, okay. Eric said in the chat room have changed, but somebody named Chris says, thanks, Eli. I've changed browsers.
[01:00:50] Unknown:
It seems to be Well, Eric, you're back in the studio. Are you with us? Are you back in the studio? I'm back. I'm Oh, yeah. I've I've managed to get on. I've come off the,
[01:00:59] Unknown:
Chrome, and I'm on some this Microsoft thing, and it seems to be working. I do apologize. Really? I've changed computers, and I've also I've also rebooted my, and I feel like booting it, my router. And my computer's been running slow all this week, so I think the problem is the router. Well, listen. Gotta upgrade it yourself a lot of everybody. I can't actually get into chat because the computer is just not powerful enough. So I'm just about the end of this.
[01:01:28] Unknown:
So somebody sent the withering comment, Eric, in one of the chats that Windows. Yeah. I I I I've gone back to the You're a boomerang. I see. And you don't understand technology, isn't it? Wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't hack it. Yeah. So I'm I'm I'm using the old one. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Hey. Well, look. We're at the top of the hour. We play a song at this point, so we're gonna do it. I'm gonna play two songs, actually. How about that? They're all about walking. Oh. Two songs. Yeah. They're all about walking. They're fiddle tunes. They're blue cross tunes because I'm gonna enter this at the moment. You they'll say, well, the first one's called Walking Out one Morning by one band, and the second song is called Walking After Midnight. So we cover the whole day. We're gonna be back with you in about four or five minutes after these couple of songs. Here we go.
[01:04:25] Unknown:
One, two, three, four. I go out walking after midnight, out in the moonlight, just like we used to do. I go out walking after midnight searching for you. I walk for miles out on the highway. Well, that's just my way of saying I love you. You're out walking after midnight searching for me. Stop to see a weeping Willow crying on his pillow. Maybe he's crying for me. I go out walking after midnight, out in the moonlight, just hoping maybe. You're out walking after midnight searching for me.
[01:07:09] Unknown:
The Walking Songs. How about that? That last one was Walking After Midnight by the Locust Honey String Band. And the first song was Walking Out one Morning by the New Mules. Where do I get this stuff?
[01:07:23] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. You're digging it at the bottom of the barrel.
[01:07:27] Unknown:
Yeah. It's a nice barrel though. I'm kind of they're nice. They're good. I know they're different. We need ears, but we we try to bring you something different and refreshing and not just rock music all the time. We don't want to be doing that all the time, do we? So there you go. So when you go walking, if you want those walking, sometimes we'll we'll have to make them available. They're quite sweet, I thought. I quite like them. Yeah. The only thing you're gonna find if you go out walking after midnight is trouble. Well, it depends where, I suppose. You might be right. You might be right. It depends where you are. There's a Patsy
[01:07:58] Unknown:
there's a Patsy Cline version of that. She is a big hit for her. Yeah. And, well, I'll send it to you. I don't know if you if I play it on this end, will you hear it on your end?
[01:08:11] Unknown:
No. We don't wanna do that. I'm I'm a stickler for good audio quality. No. We won't do that. But,
[01:08:17] Unknown:
I'm trying to stop it.
[01:08:19] Unknown:
Yeah. If everybody's got any more I'm sure there's some more walking songs, aren't there? There's gotta be other songs with the word walking.
[01:08:25] Unknown:
So if you've got any walks, it's just gonna be about the second break. What's that, Eric? Sorry? Sorry. It used to be it used to be a national sport, especially in America, where people would long distance. And that was in the Oh, day? Period. Well, I don't know about overnight, but during the day by the way, I've just found out there's been an Internet outage in my area. So that's the reason why it was an. So that's the reason why. Sorry. That's that's, it's still a bit slow, but it's it's it's getting there. But, apparently, there's Well, we can hear you okay now. Are you hearing all those okay? Yeah. There's a there's a major shutdown. Apparently, there's a major breakdown in this area. So that's the reason why Yeah. We can expect is up. So We can expect more of that. I still
[01:09:12] Unknown:
We can expect Yeah. Now he just disappeared again. Are you there? No. He's in. He's working now. Just. Oh, okay. Alright. Okay. Well, here, the the reason that that just. But I can't I can't get into any, Yeah. Your microphone just sort of dropped. Microphone's
[01:09:29] Unknown:
gone a bit quiet. Things. Your microphone's gone a bit quiet, Eric. You know it sometimes does that. Okay.
[01:09:36] Unknown:
I'll I'll deal with that. Just yeah. It does that. Yeah. I think it might be something to do there. I'm I'm seeing to it right now as we speak. Okay?
[01:09:45] Unknown:
Okay. But, the main reason I called in today Right. Was to talk about World War three.
[01:09:51] Unknown:
Okay? Well, I think I think we can talk about World War three now. I think we've probably been talking about World War three for the whole time, really. Well, yeah. Exactly. But there's obviously some aspect you wanna talk about. So, I'll start with the boots now, shall I? Yeah.
[01:10:08] Unknown:
Yeah. We have been dealing with the covert aspect of World War three, which I pretty much assigned to when, COVID sorry. COVID and covert are are are nice, you know, see learners there, a a nice alliteration. And, you know, because that's how they here here's the bottom line. Let me just preface it this way. The the internationalist, the globalist, and the doctors and the mad scientists have, been promoting this global depopulation scam. Okay? And they've been doing it in myriad ways. COVID is just one of them. And, you know, giving us drugs to pharmakeia, people are killing us in various by what various means.
All the means under the sun, they can use to kill us or put turn us into zombies by which we can don't know where we're going and we walk off a cliff or get run over by a car, which almost happened to me when I was in London about, what, in in 2014 because I I failed. I looked in the wrong direction, looked in the wrong direction, stepping off the curb. Right? And, and then all of a sudden, a guy slams on his brake and I hear this, oh, wait a minute. I looked in the wrong direction and I almost got run over. Okay? Yeah. So but, this is this is this is going on worldwide and guess which, which is the most, popular means by which the globalists are murdering us. They're not exactly murdering us. They're preventing birth, and that is feminism.
Feminism is the major tech tactic by which they're preventing white people from giving birth to children.
[01:11:46] Unknown:
Do you understand why? Well, you know, it's interesting you bring that up because we Monica was on, a couple of weeks ago or was it last week? Couple of weeks. No. It was last week. I think we Monica was on last week. It was, looking at it. Yeah it was. Yeah that she's she's on the last Thursday of every month and we were talking about that very topic. And she's she's actually sent me a message, in the week. I can read it to you because it was quite fun. She said, she says, 'Paul', she says, my goodness, us talking about feminism, this is in the show last week, wow' she says, 'has this topic ever struck a chord with a lot of people? I have heard from so many people.' Then she writes, 'actually I should say just men not people because I'm only I'm only hearing hearing from men. Anyway, a chap had sent it says sent me an article that he wrote and said, could I pass it on to you for your interest? And and she has done. It's on, I'll put the link up in the chat for those that are interested in this. It's, I haven't read the whole thing. Let me just copy the link and I'll I'll whack it in.
But it appeared on uns.com and it's called it's got a great title, Attack of the Cat Ladies. Attack of the Cat Ladies. And it really taps into this problem, with not the the sexes are not being complementary to one another to the degree that we would like. There's definitely much complementariness taking place, I'm aware of it, in certain areas and quarters we just want to see a lot more of it, because we are gonna have to stand together and act as nature intended as a complementary agency to one another, to create a much stronger ability to repel, this infection that's that's sweeping the West, unfortunately, you know, the destruction of our nations. Right. So yeah. Yeah. It's a broad sweep. So, people need to keep that in mind.
[01:13:35] Unknown:
Lesbianism Something up in the bedroom. Hang on. Yeah. I'm Yeah. That's my phone. I have to there we go. It stopped ringing. Let me put it aside. So, that's just one aspect. Everything that the internationalists are doing is to prevent us from, having babies. And feminism, that's the real purpose of feminism. You probably had the, movie by, Aaron Russo where he was interviewed Yeah. By by, one of the Rockefellers. And he says, why are you creating feminism? Mayor Russo asked. Well, because we wanna have, more income. That way, the women will go to work and we can tax them and tax the men too. And so then he he began to realize this is a conspiracy. Right? So all these things, man hatred by feminists is causing women, those women in particular, to not not want to mate.
Okay? So you see, this is the actual plan. Okay? Makes sense makes sense to you guys?
[01:14:36] Unknown:
Well, we were yeah. Absolutely. I mean, I I I because I was doing a bit of research on the topic last week, you know how the algorithm in YouTube or wherever you go starts to bomb you with whatever you've been recently searching but I've been getting loads and loads of videos through from both men and women, commenting about this. Now some of them are from the point of view of dating. Advice like, don't date these type of women. Don't date these type of men. This is the problem. This and okay. And that's useful up to a point. But many are also addressing, the fallout from this. There seems to be I mean, maybe this is just the algorithm that I've got. It's just picking these things for me, you know, to butter me up. I'm so suspicious of all these things. But, the, many of them are from women that are now solo in their early thirties. Right. Right. And, and are expressing according to these videos, right, I mean maybe they've discovered they get a lot of hits so they make more money. I can't help it. I'm just sick of those things, I'm afraid. Regret. But they are.
They are. And many of them are very articulate. They're saying some really Yes. Some very interesting things. Former feminists. Yes. Yeah. Very much. Right? Very much.
[01:15:53] Unknown:
So people are waking up in myriad ways. That's a good thing. So and here, the question I have for all of you present, whenever the globalists, begin to realize that their program is beginning to fail, what do
[01:16:10] Unknown:
they do? I don't know either. What do they do?
[01:16:15] Unknown:
They have another war. Have a war.
[01:16:18] Unknown:
That's right. Yeah. Yes, friends. It's war time.
[01:16:21] Unknown:
Yes. Take your pardon, please, for World War three.
[01:16:25] Unknown:
Yeah. There you go. Eli, I've got another first part, but I think we're picking up a bit of echo from your headphones. It's going back into the mic. We've got something like that. There's something coming back through. It wasn't there before, but it's seen it's just appeared recently. Yeah? Oh, are you sure it's my mic? Because I haven't changed anything.
[01:16:44] Unknown:
Eric Oh, that yeah. No. I hear it. I hear it now.
[01:16:48] Unknown:
It is The smoke is really hot. Is it?
[01:16:52] Unknown:
Yeah. Eric, pull Who's Mike? Bring your mic bring your mic down a little bit. That might that might be where the Okay. Where the echo's coming. Okay, mate. I'll I'll I'll bring it back. I'll bring it down. Oh, good lord. It's huge. Yeah.
[01:17:05] Unknown:
But here's what's going on. I just sent a real quick nutshell for y'all
[01:17:09] Unknown:
since I'm going to silence. On. This is really getting unlistenable. Just a minute. We gotta phone things like that.
[01:17:15] Unknown:
Okay. Is it coming from me or not? I don't hear it anymore. It's just it it We don't have it in the background.
[01:17:24] Unknown:
No. It's Okay. It sounds good. We just had a war with I've I've I've I've turned it down. I've just turned it down. Okay. Microphone okay now, Paul. Yeah. That's Yeah. You're fine. Yeah. Mate? That's much better. You gotta use a headset. You gotta use a headset. Not a a speaker, you know. Sweet. Okay.
[01:17:40] Unknown:
That's that's the standard rule around here.
[01:17:45] Unknown:
Okay. But here's what's going on. I've got an old I've got an old HMV, yeah.
[01:17:52] Unknown:
Yeah? Is that a brand? HMV? Okay. And here's what's going on. In in a quick real quick nutshell an old, my my like, a trumpet thing.
[01:18:03] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Trumpet thing? Yep. Oh. I think I Ear tweaks. We've got you on a massive lag.
[01:18:12] Unknown:
Oh, now the lag is coming. It's his Internet. It's really lagging. Yeah. It says Internet. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, here, let me just say what I have to say, and and then I'm gonna have to bow out to the person calling me is in distress. But here's what's going on. It has all to do with Venezuela. Okay? Trump has been blowing up, speedboats in The Caribbean claiming that their, drug boat's coming from Venezuela. However, that's not possible because Venezuela only accounts for maybe five to 10 of all of the cocaine traffic in The Caribbean. The vast majority is coming from Colombia and Mexico.
Mexico is the number one importer of, you know, cocaine into America. So it has nothing to do with drugs in Venezuela. What it does have to do with is oil. Oil that which is being sold by Venezuela to China and Russia. Okay? So he's gotta have some kind of oil. Yep. But there's a largest hold of oil in the world in Venezuela. Okay? And because their biggest customers are China and Russia, Trump has to do something about it, and that's he's grandstanding. And actually and these people these boats are in international waters. They're not in US waters. They're international waters. So he's violating international law. He's violating all kinds of, you know, human rights blah blah blah. Okay? So but he doesn't care about that. He wants to keep on doing business with with the the the Juno Whos. So it's obvious being instructed to do this, but that that that risks going to war with China and Russia.
And the the the war pigs in America are saying, that's that's fine. So we can do that. Okay? So keep your eye on Venezuela, and he's sending aircraft carriers down there. Mhmm. This is major major saber rattling. Okay? Okay. I'll I'll just, I'll just stay around for a few more minutes just to see your comments or hear your comments. Okay? Sir, back to you guys.
[01:20:29] Unknown:
I'm has this been covered much in the media, Eli? The Venezuelan thing? I haven't seen much No. About it at all. No. No. No. No. This is a new development. There are some YouTube videos about this, but it's very recent, very recent.
[01:20:41] Unknown:
And so the question is why is Trump getting ready to attack Venezuela? Google that and you'll probably get, you know, the answer I just gave you. Okay?
[01:20:52] Unknown:
Right. Yeah.
[01:20:53] Unknown:
It may turn into World War three because, and you guys asked the answer to write the question correctly. Whenever they get in trouble, they're losing their grip, they have to provide a distraction with another word. Whether it's serious or whether it's just another distraction, because this is how Clinton operated the White House. Remember? When it when he was in trouble with all the women accusing him of raping them. Oh, yes. The war in Serbia started. Right? Remember this, guys? Okay. That's their modus operandi. And that's what now the problem here is Venezuela has a huge military.
Right? Has a huge military. And, they could take this war seriously, and I'm sure they might. You know? So this this really could escalate beyond their comprehension. And so get ready, folks.
[01:21:43] Unknown:
Get ready. Okay? Do you think Eli is also a good cover for the fact that he's still not released the Epstein files, which he Oh, yeah. There you go. But he hasn't done it. Yeah. Oh, what a surprise. He hasn't done it.
[01:21:58] Unknown:
Yeah. You know? And you have all these photographs of Epstein and Trump and, who else? At Mar A Lago of all places. Right? Prince Andrew. And that which Trump owned. Yeah. Prince Andrew. Right? Mar A Lago. And then we're not haven't even talked about the, Epstein Island. Right? So, yeah, Trump said, oh, am I on those, Epstein files? Really? Playing innocent Patsy, right, which he clearly was not. And the number one customer was Bill Clinton.
[01:22:31] Unknown:
Well, I never. I'm shocked, Eli. I am frankly shocked. I thought they were all honorable decent people who spoke the truth. It's shocking, isn't it? So Right. Isn't it? Did Trump interrupt someone, one of his press secretaries? I I'm I'm a bit vague on this. Who was
[01:22:45] Unknown:
talking about
[01:22:47] Unknown:
well, one of the people talking about releasing these Epstein files and didn't he interrupt her or something said, we're not doing that. Is there some incident recently along those lines? I'm not completely up to speed, but I'd heard from someone that that's what had happened.
[01:23:00] Unknown:
That he just Yeah. Sort of cut her off mid sentence. You're not gonna do that when it must have been prearranged to do it or something. I don't Yeah. No. This is Pam Bondi. I saw that. I saw that. Alright. She was gonna talk about the FC files and she no. No. We're not talking about that today. And so she shut up. Right. Because that that's what he hired her for. You're gonna oh, wait a minute. I forgot. I'm I'm Epstein's best customer. Right? So yeah. That's what that is. So they need a major distraction. And that's so I hope it doesn't escalate from distraction to actually World War three, but you never know about these things.
[01:23:37] Unknown:
Right? You never know. I've got No. I've got a good distraction for them. Okay. Venezuela Uh-huh. Could send a team, wipe out the Trump Hotel, Trump Tower in New York,
[01:23:52] Unknown:
and take out the Florida weather while they're at it.
[01:23:56] Unknown:
There you go. There you go. Just take out the island.
[01:24:00] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah.
[01:24:02] Unknown:
Anything's fine. I would say, Eli, that we've been in World War three since 1945, really. It's just been organized in a different sort of way. I don't know whether they'll ever go overt like they did before with huge massed armies blowing each other. They've come up with much more cunning ways to wipe people out. So it's a much more of a literally a covert approach to undermining things. I mean I I I'm of the view that the people at least trying to find, addressing the key sort of bottlenecks in all of this, which as I said for me is the bank always, nearly always it's the bank and all the people that swarm around it like flies, you know, lapping up all the all the bounty. Those are the people that we've got to find a way of getting to.
And in the interim, just unifying over here as Englishmen and as Scotsmen and as Welshmen and men and women of Northern Ireland and Ireland. That's what we have to do here and it is happening. Yeah. And you know what?
[01:24:56] Unknown:
Emmy, Paul, there's another distraction that needs to be taken care of. That is all the Irish, English, Germans, Italians, rioting and Frenchmen rioting in their cities because they're not liking immigration policy. Well, how about if we just draft all those protesters and make them warriors for the deep state?
[01:25:19] Unknown:
Which ones? The ones that are protesting? Yeah. I don't follow you. But they're on our side.
[01:25:25] Unknown:
They're on our side, but who's who's gonna draft them? Not us. The the deep state is gonna draft them for for war. Are you are you you're not understanding what I'm saying?
[01:25:36] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Yeah. What they would target them from the marches and then sort of do something with them. That's right.
[01:25:43] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. It's like what what they call when the British were, kidnapping American soldiers off of American ships. What was that, what did they call that? Fun? Yeah. Right. It was fun for the British, but not for the Americans. Press ganging. Press ganged. Yeah. Impressment. Impressment.
[01:26:02] Unknown:
That's right. It was the press ganging. I mean, they did it if there's any consolation, they did it to English and the Scots and the Irish on their home shores as well. Oh, yeah. Their own people. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Their own people. Right?
[01:26:12] Unknown:
Okay. Yeah. But now the all the world is ruled by the bakers, from The Hague and from United Nations building, etcetera, etcetera. So they can do that. And the is Edomites in the literal Edomites and the Esau type race traders will be fully behind it. Okay?
[01:26:33] Unknown:
So They're too far in to come out, aren't they? They're too That's right. Enrolled in the plot to be able to come out of it at all. They really are. But I I think the There's a plot of changes. Yeah. I mean, I'm just, we have to over here, we have to cut our verbal cloth to suit as you well know. I think it's a sensible approach and I actually I'm not sort of so discouraged by that as I was when I realized that we would have to do that because, we're finding other ways to communicate it. And in fact, a softer approach, I think, could be much more effective. A drip drip approach.
We need to increase the frequency of the drips. But, you know, people have been raised on the idea that we march and everybody starts shouting and we go French revolution. That we're not gonna do that. That's not gonna happen. It wouldn't be effective either because it would just give them all the causative reasons that they want to actually press down on it even more. And and when things like that happen, everybody gets alarmed. People don't think straight and you get a terrible mess. It's not sort of like in a movie. Right. It's just a complete mess like the French Revolution was. It's just awful. It's a terrible thing, because there's no sense in most of it. There's literally it's just a senseless waging of violence all over the place.
Loads of people die and nobody knows why afterwards when they've all recovered, they go, what was that all about, guy? I don't know. Your blood rushed to your head. You weren't thinking straight. But you know that that's that's part of the process to get people to not think straight. But I think there's a lot of straight thinking taking place. Absolutely. A lot. Absolutely.
[01:28:03] Unknown:
But one other thing about Ma'am Downey, Ma'am Downey, the new mayor the Muslim mayor of New York, he swear he swore that he would uphold his what's the BDS? Boycott Israel? Divest. Is that Yeah. Yeah. Did he? Divestment. Mhmm. He swore he would support divestment. Yeah. But I I have found out that there's a a circle of rabbis who actually, you know, work to get him elected. And so I I'm sure he's lying about that. And then once he's installed as the mayor of New York, I'm I'm not sure. He won the election. I don't know when he actually takes office, and I'm sure that's what's gonna happen. He's gonna he's gonna betray the left. Okay. Okay. Hello? Alright, you guys. Venezuela.
I got it. Venezuela. Venezuela. Alright. Alright. Now, hello. Take care. Keep on being conspiratologist.
[01:28:55] Unknown:
Take care. Bye bye. You, Eli. Thanks, Eli. Bye for now. Thanks for stopping by. Bye. Eli James. You can catch Eli every Sunday on Soapbox and Eurofolk Radio at 3PM UK time with Bloodlines. Very interesting show. It was very interesting last week because I was on it. It was super interesting and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, Eli there. Eric, are you now sort of tooled up? Oh, he's, he's off the oh. I hope I'm okay. Yes.
[01:29:23] Unknown:
You are? I'm still here. I'm speaking away. Can you hear me? Am I out sick?
[01:29:28] Unknown:
Yeah. No. You're not. You're not. You're not. You're not. Who are? Yeah. We hear you just fine. That's good. So
[01:29:34] Unknown:
oh, that's brilliant. I've turned my microphone down a bit. I've been a good boy. And apparently, I've looked it up. It was a major breakdown in in in in my area of Internet. So that's that's the reason it went funny earlier. So things are working. It wasn't the computer. It wasn't my rauster. It was, I'm pleased pleased to say, you know. So there we go. But, anyway, we're all up and running. He's he's on a rack around. Does he come back? Or No. I've sent him an email.
[01:30:04] Unknown:
I've sent him an email. So I don't know. I mean, if you can get a message through to him, but he's welcome to come back in and join us. I just sent I said he can step in now and join us. So
[01:30:14] Unknown:
Yeah. Yes. Hey, Eric. Or perhaps we should start talking about buses. Yep?
[01:30:20] Unknown:
Eric, not not to belabor the technical issue. When you first came on, you were okay. And then, when you came back, you were super loud, and now you're a shade quiet. Can you pick, like, somewhere in the middle? That's true. That's true. Alright? Just pick somewhere in the middle, and a little bit will go a long way. Don't don't go nuts on it. Just
[01:30:43] Unknown:
a I think I how's that? How's that? Is that better? Yeah. But we've got that echo coming in. Eric, are you listening to the show through speakers speakers? No. I've got my headphones on, and I got I'm always looking through your microphone. Alright. How's that, Paul? Is that alright?
[01:31:01] Unknown:
I've I've I've put my microphone up a touch.
[01:31:04] Unknown:
Right? Yep. No. You're good. You're good right there. You're good right there. You don't you don't need any more gain. And, yes, I actually do have speakers on because I had to unplug my headphones, otherwise my speakers weren't working. So We found the culprit, Eric. We found the culprit. Yes. Oh, I don't know. Well, that's okay. I just turned my I just turned my noise gate up and my speakers down. We'll be fine.
[01:31:29] Unknown:
Has, has your cat come back? Yeah. Is your pussycat come back? Or is it, the front that might say something about Reubosh?
[01:31:37] Unknown:
Oh, no. Reubosh. My kitty Where's your cat? My kitty is spoiled rotten. She no. She hasn't come back. Not since she jumped down and left. She was she was sleeping on my lap. She got up and left. I I don't get it.
[01:31:59] Unknown:
Probably she has a lot of English accents or something like that. And why? She didn't have a problem with Paul.
[01:32:07] Unknown:
Well, it's because I speak properly, you see. I'm not from Well, no. Maybe it's because you were just louder.
[01:32:13] Unknown:
You were just louder than Paul and I think she's got rather sensitive ears. It's okay. Don't worry about Eric, don't get all self conscious now. It's okay. It's okay. We love you anyway.
[01:32:27] Unknown:
That's alright. I speak proper like Paul does. Doesn't, does I?
[01:32:32] Unknown:
Oh, thank you. Does I? Just pop in. Speak proper, doesn't I?
[01:32:39] Unknown:
Does I? Anyways, nice to have you back. Who is I? We just to let everybody we were expecting a couple of other guests. I thought we were gonna be oversubscribed. Yeah. So we've had a bit of a it's been quite a kerfuffle. It's a good job I've got lots of, I've got my pipe here and everything and lots of tea. Cafuffel. Eli rocked up a bit early and left early. So It's nice to be back. I'll tell you something. It was it was really frustrating. It
[01:33:04] Unknown:
was kerfuffle. It's been a kerfuffle show.
[01:33:09] Unknown:
He's gone again.
[01:33:12] Unknown:
He left again. Oh, jeez.
[01:33:17] Unknown:
It's not working right tonight. Well, I I just don't think we can blame all of that on Microsoft. I just don't think so. No. I think it's this Internet outage that's taking place. I'm sure the listeners are absolutely thrilled to hear us keep talking about technical problems. I'm sorry. It's just live radio. We're just having a bit of a rough roll of it tonight, so that's the way it's gone. There's not much we can do about it. I don't know what I don't know what it is. It's it's easy to when I mentioned the word rooibos, it went tits up, didn't it? It's strange that. It's pretty weird. Well, they kinda did. Sorry. I I before the 10:00, we it did, didn't it? Yes. Perhaps you shouldn't mention that word again. Perhaps it's a naughty word, Simon. Which word? I don't
[01:33:53] Unknown:
know. No. Don't. Rhubosh.
[01:33:56] Unknown:
As as loads of cats throughout the world going, and scratching their claws in of their owners and things like that, you know. No. It's,
[01:34:06] Unknown:
well Anyway, Eric, now that you've been silenced Is it at all? Now that you've been silenced for a little while, were there any sort of Yes. Topic and you've been cut out of the loop, is there anything that you would like to talk about?
[01:34:20] Unknown:
Yes. Well, I think he's already talking about it, and that was Liz Truss because I didn't ask you today in Telegram, plug, plug, plug, plug, and, I said that anybody that steps out a line, is dealt with in inverted commas. So, when anybody says something like revealing what's happening in government, they're doing it for a reason because what we see from government is a theatrical show. It's a pantomime, put on by social engineers to monitor people's reaction. Because what I said is I believe they want there to be, an uprising so that they can then slide in one of their top one of their tyrants.
And that's how this is what happened in the all these revolutions. Chairman Mao, he he appealed to the populace, and he spoke their language. And they they they were all for well, 5% of the population were for him. And he was put thereby by the powers that be, to genocide China. And I fear that something similar is gonna happen in this country because whenever you see headlines in the mainstream press about revolution, you know it's being organized. Because mainstream press is run by writers on they get all the information from writers, and you know who owns writers? Rothbo Rothschilds.
So I do. I think I would take what Liz Truss says carefully.
[01:35:53] Unknown:
Don't forget the I would think Associated Press. The theater. AP Newswire. They're big. Oh, yes. Lot of stations get their news from AP. Yes. Yes.
[01:36:04] Unknown:
I knew that I think it is it is all stitched together. I think my I I think you can basically it's not as if any of us agree with any of us 100%, do we? But every now and again you do hear sentences or phrases that I believe are accurate and true and they need to be sort of bigged up as best as we can. Whether there's an ability to make a consistent effort. I'll tell you, there's just a lot of positives over here for Rupert Lowe and I'm kind of currently in that camp, because as I said I think he's done the right thing. He's not created a political party, he's created a pressure group effectively, and he's able to say the things and is saying the things that everybody in the pubs are saying. Well, if the pubs were open and if people actually went to them but would be saying if they were going to the pubs. But no, generally there there is a lot of this talk going on and he's he's reflecting it and it's right. And, interesting post he put up the other day which is slightly off beam.
His wife had parked her car I think in Ladbroke Grove somewhere which is a pretty decent area in London, only to come back the following morning. It's a Porsche Porsche Cayenne, rather a glitzy car. I don't I'm not bothered what the car they've got, but that's what they have. Only to discover that they had banger then, you know? Yeah. Cheap old banger. And, the headlamps had been stolen and took a photograph showing you all the headlamps taken out because the police weren't interested. Even if they were interested, there's probably nothing that they can do because they're too busy chasing people for using hurty words and this, that, and the other. You know, the whole thing shot to bits really. But the comments in the thread were really interesting because people knew exactly why the headlights had been stolen, and I didn't know this. So this is a bit of stuff going on.
Apparently, the lights that are in Porsches and possibly some other makes as well, but certainly in this particular make and model, emit a type of light with very little heat. And this makes them absolutely perfect for growing cannabis.
[01:38:04] Unknown:
Really?
[01:38:06] Unknown:
Yep. And apparently, there is a flurry of the theft of these headlights from cars in and around urban areas or major cities like London by people that need to grow weed. And the reason they use the lights is because they're so low in terms of the amount of heat that they emit. They can't be picked up by the heat scanners that the cops use to see if people are growing cannabis in their loft.
[01:38:32] Unknown:
Oh, but they don't they don't do that anyway. They don't do that anyway. Because they've got LED grow lights.
[01:38:40] Unknown:
Yeah. They Yeah. But the police basically have have equipment that tracks a heat signal thing. Maybe they do have LED lights and maybe they're expensive. Maybe maybe these are people who can't even afford the LED lights so they're just taking them out of the front end of a Porsche. So, you know, and somebody even put a clip up of people selling them on eBay. Not that those exact same ones, but there were quite a few adverts on eBay over here for Porsche headlights. There's like a secret dialogue. Everybody knows really what they're for. Oh, yeah. I need some Porsche headlights. Have you got any Porsche headlights? I'm really interested in them. And, I I need to get some of those. Crop of England is is flourishing somewhere
[01:39:20] Unknown:
unbeknownst to the police. I I see. The cannabis crop of New York isn't doing bad either. I mean, it's recreational here. Yeah. I can have six plants if I want. Six adult plants anyway. 12 total. Yeah. Yeah. I can grow my own. Because I Legally.
[01:39:39] Unknown:
Really? Yes. I think I can you in in Britain? I know that you can grow tobacco legally in this country, but I'm not sure about cannabis. Oh, that's going away. You know anything about that, Paul?
[01:39:51] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I don't. I'm not a I'm not a drug informed person. It's never really been part of my life. It's not something although, maybe we could do a show when we've all taken some LSD. What do you think? Oh, I'm with it.
[01:40:09] Unknown:
Oh. Oh, god.
[01:40:11] Unknown:
I don't know if I have to say that on broadcast radio. This is a terrible thing that Who'd be sitting off in the office?
[01:40:17] Unknown:
Dude, I'd be sitting off in the corner holding the side of my head going, my ears are melting.
[01:40:25] Unknown:
Well, why not Yeah. Why don't we have two types of Olympics? And that is the drug Olympics and the non drug Olympics and the drug Olympics, you know, eve even even the commentator could be stoned out their brain, you know. And here he goes running around the track following a pink elephant, and yes, it's flying. And way, man, this is really groovy, you know. It'd be cool, wouldn't it? You know, just have people drugged out their mind going around. Be far far more exciting Olympics, wouldn't it? If they try if they just accept it. I I don't know.
[01:40:54] Unknown:
I think it'd be difficult to follow follow the, competition. You know, they'd be going all over the place. Where the hell is that finish line anyway? And why are they not going for it?
[01:41:09] Unknown:
Well, I think the multiparty consequences are saying that. There will be people listening who are aware of this thing. But I I believe now is the time of magic mushrooms in the country. I think that this is Microdose. This is when the crop pops up. And, I was watching something today. I sound like as I'm I I don't take these things because I'm British. Right? But there's very interesting research on did you just say microdosing, Paul?
[01:41:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Microdosing.
[01:41:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, I didn't know what this was all about. It's very interesting actually. Seriously, it is interesting. So people obviously think about taking LSD and magic mushrooms to to go on a journey or whatever you however you want to describe it. But microdosing, which is like taking a tenth of a gram every three or four days twice a week, apparently has extremely positive beneficial health effects. Improved powers of concentration. They've tested it on mice and apparently they live longer with a more alert life. It improves mental acuity. So there's a level at which it really works. And there were you've mentioned, Eric, before about these indigenous tribes, you know, the ones that just hunt the hunter gatherers. There's still many, you know, in South America that operate, and they use it in this way. I mean, they also get completely smacked out of their good, I think, from times to times as well. Mhmm. But, it it basically heightens their abilities, their mental stamina, and their sensitivities to their environment. They become acutely more conscious of everything, and this is very helpful if you're out hunting wild things that might kill you.
[01:42:48] Unknown:
So It it awakens your intuition. Fascinating. Fascinating. It awakens your intuition. It activates normally dormant parts of the brain. It it it has, like, crazy, crazy effects. I mean, you know, like, the stoners from the sixties and the seventies and stuff, you know, the ones that were, like, they were poets and they were musicians, they were artists, and they're all their backstory was they, like, tripped out on LSD, like like, seriously one time, and, basically, their brain was never the same again and not in a bad way. They just found all these new abilities that they had and and ways of concentrating and things like that.
And microdosing mushrooms, psilocybin is what I think they call them, does the same thing on a on a lesser level. I mean, the why do you think the CIA was doing LSD experiments? Come on.
[01:43:53] Unknown:
The government Apparently, LSD, when the government started doing it, I was just I found out all these things today. I mean, I don't know what I want to do with this information. It just sort of was tumbling, across the screen. So I started watching it for fifteen minutes. Very interesting guy talking about in a very intelligent sort of way. He's a regular LSD consumer or has been for years, but it's hasn't affected him one little bit. I know some people it's affected terribly. I mean, I actually knew one someone personally. It would take them years to get over the results of it, but he was just addressing all these aspects of it and it it appear it's definitely got some kind of a positive in it. So when when LSD first appeared, the government would effectively give you approval to take it.
And there are more research papers done during this period, I guess, the early to mid sixties until they outlawed it. There's over 3,000 academic papers written on the effects of it, not in terms of purely negative but in terms of other positives that I mean basically it breaks down the compartments of your mind and people have these almost spiritual benign and wonderful experiences on the one hand. I think he also said other people have the experience of being eaten alive by snakes which, of course, is not really particularly edifying or what you're looking for. But in in the micro dosing it appears to be it's got some real beneficial effects. One of the things he also mentioned was that they did a test with several thousand. This is recently, 2015.
So I think that's recent. 2015 they got, I think it was over two thousand and under three thousand, so several thousand people to microdose, taking a tenth of a gram on day one, leaving days two and three empty, and then on day four and seven one day on two days off. Many of them, after this thirty day trial, reduced the frequency even more than that. They were taking it like once a week and many stopped altogether because apparently once this sort of beneficial improvement to focus has been achieved it it lasts. You don't need to keep taking it and many felt that they didn't. So there are people with sort of anxiety disorders, ADHD, things that have become part of, I guess, the lexicon of describing all these physical ailments and mental conditions that people have, which were considerably improved by taking microdosing from whatever it is that comes out of magic mushrooms. I can't remember the name of it but that that's kind of it. So, yeah.
So the idea of living longer with a more sprightly mind, is not to be sneezed at. I think it, you know, we need as many brain cells working as we can, particularly as all the mobile phones are doing their damndest to kill them off, I assume, still, if that's part if that's really what's going on. Mhmm. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm looking at replacing my phone here. I don't want a five g phone, but then I was thinking about if everybody around me's got five g, is it gonna make any difference? You know? I've been five g'd fried anyway. Maybe I am. It's difficult to say. I mean, you know, those islands in the Outer Hebrides are beginning to look more and more attractive with each passing day.
[01:47:01] Unknown:
So Yeah. But being feet away from a five g device is better than having one in your pocket. Yeah. I'm just saying.
[01:47:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I agree.
[01:47:13] Unknown:
I agree. Any distance you can put between you and it is is all good.
[01:47:21] Unknown:
Do we need five g, though? Because I reckon four and three g are perfectly okay. Isn't there's no no reason for it. And, they reckon that we didn't even need digital when it comes to televisions because our televisions were perfectly okay with the old ideas. And I think sometimes it's changed, well, for reasons that we're not told, Because five g was something to do with a a military weapon, wasn't it? So they weaponized it. No. They had to do they had to do digital
[01:47:48] Unknown:
digital for TV, so they could move TV out of the frequency band that it was in and, opened the bandwidth for digital TVs. So, TVs that were so equipped and connected to cable could set up bidirectional communication between your home and the cable company. Not only is the cable company sending you stuff that you're watching, but you sitting in front of the TV, if it was, outfitted with a forward facing camera, then it's watching you Mhmm. And sending what you're doing back to the cable company. Yeah. It's a thing. And I believe that they put the cameras right next to the, infrared remote sensor. So if you cover the camera, yours remote doesn't work.
Really crazy.
[01:48:46] Unknown:
Yeah. Hang on. Sorry. I'm just sending a message here to Nathan. It's just got through to me through here. It was a little crowded in the first hour. He's got that message, so maybe Nathan will be joining us shortly.
[01:49:01] Unknown:
Yeah. I thought it was Antonia because Anurag was due to come on. Hang on. I'll have a look and see,
[01:49:09] Unknown:
It's okay, Eric. Don't worry about it. People will it's absolutely fine. I think, I mean, I've been looking for one of these phones, where you can take the battery out, so I need one of those. All the modern phones, you can't take the battery out. That means it's basically on all the time. Yeah. I mean Yeah. It's like finding a slightly pathetic war against it. I Yeah. Yeah. I do accept that.
[01:49:31] Unknown:
I've got a TCL.
[01:49:33] Unknown:
Actually, I thought the EU had bring brought out. Got a TCL advertisement. I thought they brought their law out. Where but my Nokia's got a removal battery, but I thought they brought a law out in this country and also the EU that all batteries have gotta be removable. I thought that was some time ago. So I don't know what's happened there because so my Nokia, it's about four or five years old, and you take the battery out of that. I I deliberately got one that you can remove the battery from. So, yes. And I know that most, the old phones, dumb phones, you can get the batteries out of them.
So, you know, it's but so they're still selling phones that have got a battery that's sealed in you can't change. That's interesting.
[01:50:21] Unknown:
I think they're all like that. It's not possible to get one. I've seen Freedom Phones or whatever they're called and this, that, and the other. They're quite expensive. I I don't mind if I feel that the benefit would be better, not that I'm loaded or anything. But, I mean, I've got a Motorola here that's been working perfectly for nearly six years, I think. And, it does me fine. I mean, I don't I barely use it really to be quite honest. It's just for handling Telegram messages more than anything else. That's the main thing I tend to use it for. Actually I there was a thing actually that occurred to me as well after last week's show. I had the word Luddite in the title but we didn't talk about technology at all last week which was because we were talking about so many other things, which is fine.
But you know the question a question one question is how much technology do we need? Obviously I would suggest not as much as what we're being given but I came, somebody kindly sent me a little post here from Twitter the other day which I quite like. I think it's in in line with this. It's from somebody called Alex Zek, not that I know him, not that I subscribe to it but I just got the message forward to me. It's not very long and this is what he wrote. He says, I don't know if it's just a millennial and Gen X thing. I'm confused about what eras those are because I'm a boomer. I don't know if it's just a millennial and Gen X thing because we're the ones who live through both the analog world and the ever advancing digital age. Well, boomers too. We've lived through it as well. But I feel like a lot of us are carrying this quiet unspoken grief.
Grief for a slower, more reality based life that we once knew. Everything's changing so very fast. The world around us is becoming almost unrecognizable and with it so is our sense of what it even means to be human. The digital age is slowly suffocating something deep and sacred within us. I think that's very true. I think that's a very true thing. You know, when we when we talk about these old fashioned things, which we do tend to talk about on here, I'm doing I guess in part to maintain a connection in my mind and in my heart to what I consider to be a much better world and one that moved slowly. You know, I was talking about the guy that I bumped into in the street, the guy that had got, the brain damage and couldn't remember stuff.
We were we got around to talking about this. I mean, he could hold a conversation for sort of like twenty seconds and then would say, what what are we talking about? But we managed to get he mentioned horses. He said, well, we can't go back to horses, can we? I said, well, we could. I said, wouldn't you like if a horse came down this street right now? It'd be quite exciting, wouldn't it? All that clip clop. I said, I suppose if it was nothing but horses it would be a problem. But there's something about the slower moving, the slower pace of life seems to have produced or should produce a more deeply thinking thoughtful people because she's not been mentally battered from pillar to post with the latest shock horror story of this that and the other.
And I'm sort of this show is likely to have less and less news in it from a point of view that I'm reading less and less of it and feeling much happier because of it. Now you can say well your happiness is not important and we're in an alarming situation. But I don't know what benefit it is to keep sort of stewing over things, which are just basically it's just more sort of fear porn all the time. It's not particularly constructive. I don't know what you guys think about that.
[01:53:47] Unknown:
Well, I I agree with you. By the way, the Nokia g 22 has a removable battery, and you can repair it, apparently. You can you can fix get replacement parts for it, and it's, an up to date one. And it costs, £72, or you can get a refurbished one for $59.95. So there we go. And you get a salami nalgos for about £80. That's it. So, I I cracked it for you. So you Alright. It's the Nokia g 22. The g 22? Same, Paul. Was it? I the g 20 yes. I mean, my one, my Nokia, I think you interchanged the change the battery in it. You know? So, they still do them. But with the the problem I think with, technology is that, it's technology for the sake of technology in many ways because there's a lot of crap on smartphones that you don't really need.
I don't really want to have Facebook and everything else like that on smartphones, but it's on there.
[01:54:52] Unknown:
And, I don't know whether your one does this. Does it eat up memory for no reason at all? As mine does? Yeah. It does. I mean, I I yeah. I mean, when I first got the phone, they've fallen off now, but I took gaffer tape and put them over the cameras, front and back. Yeah. I I don't take pictures with my phone at all unless it's documents that I have to send off to people then I can peel it off. I don't you know people just take have you noticed that sporting events right that you see on TV? Is anybody actually really present emotionally in the event anymore? Because everybody's got a camera taking pictures of everybody else with a camera, taking pictures of everybody else with a camera. It reminds me of that scene in the Beatles film. Was it Help? Where they're all running round one another on the beach. Remember that film Help with the Beatles? They've all got a camera. Yes. And they're all taking photographs of each other, taking photographs of each other and it's like that. It's just is anybody actually present in the event or are you just recording it to talk about later on when it won't be as good? Why don't you actually just accept that this is an event you're at it and it's gonna disappear down the memory hole like every other thing where it needs to go you can't sort of remember all of these things. It's just a bit bizarre I just you know it's weird.
Everybody's into sort of self image thing it's it's sort of ego on steroids going bonkers with people just and I never understood this thing with Facebook in the first place, people putting their entire life up there. I'm going why are you doing that? Really? Why are you putting all these pictures of it? I just don't get it. Yes. Never got it.
[01:56:22] Unknown:
Well, you know that latest thing, I I saw my neighbor the other day. Now I walked across there's like a sort of a a a wooded area of of of sort of and I noticed my neighbor sitting on a seat, farting around on the on her phone, you see. That was strange. What's she doing there? And I found out that she plays a game. Do you remember I Spy? Those books I Spy that you used to get when you were a kid. I do. You know, you had to go out and you had to see a double decker bus. Well, they got a game like that on the Internet, and my neighbor farts around most of her life going out, finding things like I Spy.
What a boring life. I mean, I've got better things to do and spends most of the day doing that. Yawn? I mean, what is it? How weird.
[01:57:12] Unknown:
There are some strange little things that have popped up with all have you seen that game that people play where they have to identify a place in the world from a photograph? You have to guess where it is. It's called GeoGuess. It's absolutely bizarre. There's a whole sort of cult movement. I'm gonna call it a cult. So the game is a photograph of anywhere in the world is put up and then you've got to guess where you've got to work out where it is. Some of these guys are quite brilliant at it. Oh it's Madagascar. They'll work out after about twenty minutes just from looking at a picture. Boring farts out there isn't they?
[01:57:45] Unknown:
Well, we're quite dull at times. I can be quite tedious. Do you does it irritate you when someone says someone says oh, yeah. But I tell you what gets me is when someone says, oh, look at this. And they show you the smartphone and it show you you see a I don't know, an AI tap dancing apps hamster or something, or someone tripping over a bridge or anything like that. And I'm thinking, I'm I'm bored out my mind with this. Why? And and they spent hours and hours and hours trolling through garbage. I mean, what is it? It's I don't know. It's people just like wasting time. I think there's much more interesting things to do than that.
[01:58:24] Unknown:
It's a I know. Jigsaw puzzle. Old fuddy duddy. I don't know. It's jigsaw puzzle and things like that. Anyway, look we're coming up towards the end of hour two here. Our time slot on WBN three two four. So this is when I traditionally play as across the bridge, as it were, of Troubled Waters with a song. It won't be that song, by the way. I don't like it very much. We'll be back again on WBN same time next week. The show carries on over on Rumble and YouTube and other various radio outlets and channels. If you wanna carry on tuning in, head on over to paulenglishlive.com and click the rumble or YouTube link or whatever suits your fancy, and we can carry on. And, I played a song by this band last week, and I'm gonna do it again. It's a different song.
This is oh, everybody will guess what this is. This is another sort of recently recent sort of rock song but bluegrassified. This this is probably the end of my bluegrass period with music on the show for a wee while anyway, but we'll be back after the break on the other side, here on Paul English Live and on WBN. We'll see you all same time next week. Bye for now, WBN listeners, and carry on for another hour elsewhere. Here we go.

She's got a smile that it seems to be reminds me of my childhood memories. Everything was as fresh as a bright blue sky.

Where did we go? Where did we go now? Where did we go? Where do we go? Where do we go now? Where do we go now? Where do we go now? Where do we go? Where do we go now?
[02:03:28] Unknown:
And that was Iron Horse with sweet child of mine. Isn't it how radio DJ's say it? I think they do, don't they? So, welcome back to hour three. Yes, absolutely marvelous. Spiffing. And spiffing. Absolutely. Spiffing, topo, and all that kind of stuff. Yes. Yes. I've got that. Why? Yes. It's
[02:03:54] Unknown:
well, mind you, last time I said that the camera the, the computer went up the spout. So we've got to let not say the word spiffing or roo bosh. So let's let's try and keep away from those words, shall we?
[02:04:07] Unknown:
Let's.
[02:04:09] Unknown:
Yeah. Why do you keep seeing it?
[02:04:16] Unknown:
Good point, excellent point there, yes. I never thought of that. Yes. You you can't fool me, I'm too stupid, you know.
[02:04:27] Unknown:
You can't fool me, I'm empty as they come back.
[02:04:31] Unknown:
I think there's a lot to be said though to being for being a new a neo Luddite, which is what I think I am. I've hit peak technology. I don't really want any more to be quite honest. I mean, that's a ridiculous thing to say. But you see these I mean, electric cars. Oh, good grief. Dear me. Oh, god. No. I know these incidents are probably few and far between. But, what did I see the other day? Oh, yeah. These things, if they break down, you can't open the doors. Right? You can't open the doors. Somebody got burnt alive in one last week.
The the footage is just awful, so I turned it off. Everybody's trying to because it's poly armored glass. Oh, poor soul. So you can't you can't get the glass broken because people aren't carrying sledgehammers with spikes on the end to get through those things. Yeah. I mean, it's just I think it's it's just not been thought through. It's really, really bad. I mean, I know people obviously used to be in car accidents in the early days with petrol engines blowing up and it was very very bad but good grief. I mean you'd think there'd be some sort of I just don't want any of that kind of stuff. There definitely is a requirement for the do it yourself simple mechanical car. There really is. I mean, I think someone needs to start making one. Anything basic Yes.
Oh. With an, you know, with an engine under us under one liter, it'll do it with modern engines and then you won't have to pay that congestion charge in London. And you want mechanic I want mechanical window winders and I want mechanical door handles Yes. And I want an old radio. I just hate electronic junk in the car. There's just too much of it. It's just ridiculous. Yes. You're doing this. This is the amount of miles you've got left. Just give me a bloody fuelometer. I know what's going on. Thank you very much. It worked great. We know, you know, it's just it's irritating. The whole thing is it is. Basically,
[02:06:20] Unknown:
that's right. You just wanna get to a from a to b, and all you really need is a rev counter and a speedo. That's really it. Maybe a clock if you're a bit posh, and that's it. And what gets me with these electric cars, one, you got the electromagnetic smog, which is not good for you. And even in petrol cars now, you've got a lot of electrics. And the second thing, this bloody great screed in front of the driver. Now, Charlie, is that distracting? You want the minimum of distractions. All you want is to know what speed you're doing. What else do you do you need to know? Oh, and a rev counter maybe. But if it's electric, you won't need a rev rev counter even. So what do you need all this stuff in in gunk in in the car for?
It's again, it's all superfluous as far as I'm concerned. And, I'm I I there was was going there was saying that all about ten, fifteen years ago that, the Chinese are gonna massively import simple cars. What happened to that? It had died a death, didn't it? Mhmm. Since this country Yeah. It did. Now wouldn't it be nice, a simple car you just repair, you know, like the CCV. I used to work with a bloke who bought nothing but two CVs or dust carts on wheels, and he said they're the most simplest car to repair. He said, they're always on the road. He said, all of his neighbors have got posh cars, and after time, they're they're off the road. But he said, his two CVs just goes and goes and goes. And, apparently,
[02:07:48] Unknown:
What what was that? Kenya? Mhmm. Kenya came up a guy in Kenya came up with an electric car, has, like, a three or 400 mile range. It's Yeah. Mostly mechanical. It seats four, and you can buy one for between 5 and $8,000. It's ridiculously cheap. It's ridiculously cheap. It's mostly manual. The only thing the batteries are there for is to operate the engine, the motor, to propel it down the road. The brakes are just reversing the polarity of the motor and actually, using the momentum of the car to charge the batteries when you're braking, it's it's simplistic in itself.
And it's only $5. And they're selling it now. Yep.
[02:08:49] Unknown:
And no one's gonna nick that car. Right? Don't make it because it's not worth out. You see, there's a lot to be said for being humble and poor because you're not worth robbing. And therefore, you don't have to get interfered with by the modern world. I'm not against electric engines if they work, and there are advances in battery technology. I think there's a sodium battery coming out which is sounds amazing and there's all these other things which are way way better than the basically souped up laptop batteries that they're using right now. But they'll have an industrial war over that because people have invested billions into build building these things like Tesla for one. But I think there's a Chinese company. I've forgotten the, the acronym for them. They've developed sodium batteries. They're about four 40% of the cost or about half the cost.
They've got 40 to 50% more range and all sorts of stuff and the materials they make out of them are abundant and are much more environmentally friendly and it uses sodium and a few other things apparently. I was on with some tech channel the other day looking at it. I mean, an electric engine in a car, but I want mechanical doors so I can get out the bloody thing if it if it blows up. Yeah. Right. Sorry. That's what I want. There's And I want glass that can be broken. Have you seen those glass breakers that they sell? I mean, this is a known thing because if an electric car goes in the water and all the doors sit, you'll drown in it. So one of the things I don't think they equip them when you buy the car. There's like, an air press jackhammer.
It's about, I don't know, about a foot long. You hold it. You put it against the glass and it just it like kicks the glass and just shatters it because you need it against this modern high-tech glass. It's, you know, it's tough as steel, this stuff. It so it just punches a hole and you can get the window out and then you can get out and save yourself. So, you know, if that's what they need, they need it. But the idea of people being trapped in their very expensive electronic cars, electric cars being burnt to death alive, it's just it's horrific. It's just completely mad.
It's totally mad again. This is completely off the charts, I think. I want that cheap car. Agree. We need the cheap car. We need the peasant's car. Then we need the Volkswagen, don't we, Eric? Isn't that one wouldn't that be a good name for it? We need the Volkswagen. Yeah. Volkswagen.
[02:10:57] Unknown:
It's also a beautiful piece of engineering.
[02:11:01] Unknown:
Who is it? Was it Toyota or Toshiba Toyota working with Toshiba or something like that? They came up with a rechargeable battery that uses a kilogram of silver in the battery. It lasts twenty years. And when the battery is recycled, like 80% of the silver is recoverable, it has lighter weight, greater range than a lithium ion battery and it charges 10 times as fast, 10 times as quickly. It's and that's supposed to hit the market. The the silver based batteries next year, something like that. Now if we could just keep silver from getting to $500 an ounce, screwing up that battery technology, well, that might work.
You know what? Silver is silver is spiking in value just as they start talking about this silver based battery and mainstream? Do you think maybe those two might be related?
[02:12:05] Unknown:
I was gonna bring up that very point. Yeah. Yeah. Again, we bump into the management of economic systems thwarting, products and devices that people actually want. I'm sure if everybody sat down and write a list of all the sort of technical doodads that they need, it won't be that long. I've had a sad I've had a sad week this week, though, on that front. We've got a dual lit toaster for making toast, a four slicer, absolutely magnificent thing, or was up until last week. We've had it since 1998. So this is nearly 30 years old, this toaster, and it's done a lot of toast I can tell you because I've eaten most of it that's come out of it. And, unfortunately one of the one of the things has gone, I think I've been told it can be repaired. I've gone rather attached to it. It's been a fixture in the kitchen all this time, you know. So you sort of you get accustomed to these things being there when they're not there. You realize you're such a creature of habit. But it's a fantastic design. I mean they they haven't been cafes all over the place. I go, that works so we'll keep that. I'll, some people like electric kettles. I'm not one of them. I like my kettle on the hob. This is really advanced stuff we're talking about tonight everybody.
We just got a new kettle with the most ferocious whistle on it. Literally, it sounds like a jet engine taking off when it gets going. It's wonderful. So it's very exciting, all these little things. There's not much that you need. I'm I'm absolutely convinced of this. There's not much that you need but there's always the advertising agency saying you need this. Oh, so this ludicrous thing today. What was it? Oh, yeah. A bed, right, that's connected to the internet. I'm serious. Let's go. Oh no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's in that bed. Yeah. So what it's it's made out of all this stuff and, you don't need heating elements in it or anything. And it's checking your blood pressure, your heart rate and everything overnight. Obviously sending all that data off.
I'm just going What? No. Stop it. Just stop. You electronic Ah.
[02:14:06] Unknown:
Stop with this stuff. It's not Oh, I know what it's for. It's they're gonna tax they're gonna tax sex, and it's p a y f, pay as you fornicate. Sorry. You thought it was gonna say something else there, wasn't it?
[02:14:21] Unknown:
No. They're they're expecting suspects
[02:14:24] Unknown:
looking through through your window. Oh, hang on. Look. Oh, yeah. The bank's going away. Log in again. Right. Okay. Extra tax.
[02:14:32] Unknown:
We'll just log on to the bed fire. We don't need to look in the windows anymore. That's right.
[02:14:38] Unknown:
Well, the thing is, Eric, that that actually wouldn't be a new tax, would it? No. It wouldn't be a new tax because that's what that's what caused the poll tax riots that led to the peasants' revolt. All that? That's right. It was actually pubic hair that they were measuring. I don't know if this bed actually measures that. I've said this before. It's always worth repeating these tales for for new listeners if you know heard of this, but back in that day what they were putting a poll tax on everybody on all adults and the determination of whether you were an adult or not was whether you had pubic hair. So this meant 14 year olds and 13 year olds, I guess. I don't know when people matured back then but I think the report said something to that effect. And now in FOBBING, which is not a million miles from you, Eric, I don't think. FOBBING FOBBING, yes, should we call it? FOBBING FOBBING in Essex, which is where the term fobbing off comes from because of this event. And so, they sent tax inspectors out there, and the women in particular the mothers became incredibly vexed. That's an understatement. They were furious about this. The tax inspectors were going around looking up their daughters dresses to see if they could see any signs of maturity, let's put it that way. That's a good day. They were also coming in, Yeah. They were also coming into houses to see if they could find watch springs and and and the like. And if they did, the tax had gone. They just had enough.
So in the end, this is the part where it all kicked off and they repelled the tax, inspectors by killing a few. They Excellent. Excellent. There's a lot about it. They were killed. Yes. Perfect. They were killed with bows and arrows. Many of the bows and arrows actually wielded by women, ladies. Just to let you know, archery is a good pursuit for ladies, to take up. Very, very good at that. And, the main woman was a woman called Diana Ferrer, and, she became, very proficient at shooting tax inspectors off horseback at speed. So, there we go and that's what kicked it all off. So, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if they are looking for that. But I mean, it's just what were you supposed to say about this? Are you gonna put an electronic device in everything?
That's why I'm a neo Luddite. I'm not against all of it but is there gonna be a line put underneath it and said enough we really don't need that. So the simple electric car would be quite appealing I think. It could be quite appealing this simple electric car.
[02:17:03] Unknown:
Yeah. But they've got one in in in, The Netherlands, which is a sorry. I didn't mean to cut in there, but, which I if they were cheap enough, I mean, these things cost, I don't know, I think about 14,000 or something like that. They're a small two seater that make let's put it this way. They're so small, they make a smart car look big. But what you can do, you actually, they're on a kind of you know, like shopping trolleys? Mhmm. Now imagine a battery's on a shopping trolley. You'd open the door The door. And they they show you a demonstration you see on YouTube, and you plug the battery in. So when you leave the car, you can take the battery with you and wheel it into your house and charge the battery up. Or you could have two batteries, one either side, to go a further distance. And you can actually rent the batteries or buy them. And I think it's a brilliant idea. So you just pull into a garage.
They just open your door, unplug a battery. They're they're they're about the size of a I don't know. About the size of two conventional car batteries,
[02:18:03] Unknown:
two or three of them, and, then plug another one in. And I think that is the way to go. I really do. Why faff around for ages be charge your batteries up when you just Well, I'm looking forward to the Fockem Hall Ministry of Transport taking full charge of the transportation needs of the nation as soon as possible. Well, he was gonna come on, wasn't he? And he he's he's gone, old Anurag. Yeah. It's a pity, really. I've sent him a it's a pity. So we'll have him on next time because I actually Yes. From your show on Monday, I don't know if anybody caught Eric's show on Monday. It was a bit of a blast actually. And, we were going up talking about locomotives and things and he mentioned the thing called the nine f class which was the last massive steam engines built by British Rail. So I went off and looked these things up. They're enormous.
Absolutely and they were designed for pulling freight. Massively powerful. I think Paul had said that they were more powerful than a Deltic which is with these big diesel things. I know this is a bit boys talk around here but this I'm this thing even talking about steam engines I think it is tapping into this slower pace of life thing. And and it's part of that precious stuff that we've lost, a kind of feeling, a warmth about life. And, electronics are not warm. They're not warm. They're they're kind of distant. I can't describe it. They're not, are they? Like, I've
[02:19:21] Unknown:
got And I mean Yeah. That that they can sorry. I didn't mean to cut across you there. But with this AI, it can go two ways. And I believe we could be living the life of Riley with AI being our slaves. So it'd bring, the price of everything down, where you could have something like a replica of a '19, I don't know, 1948 Jag Jag, which should be electric, made by AI, and people could then pursue the hobbies and the things they want to do. And we could have art beautiful architecture because that's what what people would be employed with. So AI robots would make the structure all the boring stuff, and us humans will come along and do all the beautiful, you know, art Yeah. Art nouveau and things like that on the side. Just think what the world could become and how inventive it could become and creative.
People doing work, what they want to do, not what they're forced to do. And that's what I think we need to go back to. Because years ago, when you look at these beautiful cathedrals, you can't tell me people were press ganged into working on them. No. They loved it. So, that's my view. And, so, you know, learn how to carve and all all these different things. I think it'd be marvelous.
[02:20:41] Unknown:
So I was watching something the other day about York Minster. You know York Minster is a pretty impressive Oh, yes. Cathedral. Right? I used to go up there when I was a kid. It's only 20 miles from where I grew up, so we were up at York a lot. And York's a very very old place, Jorvik. And, it was just a little clip, of some Americans going around looking at the Roman walls still there and everything. And, you know, we kind of take it for granted. I did because I was just going up there to drink beer at the time. Stuff, and things like that. But, the guide that was explaining some of the gargoyles and things that are on there said that at the peak they had 2,200 stonemasons working on it.
[02:21:24] Unknown:
Beautiful. Why not? 2,200
[02:21:27] Unknown:
stonemason. I don't know if there's that many left in England at the moment. I mean, I I don't know. There probably is, I guess. But, it's impressive work and, of course, it was built over a long period of time. I don't know how long, probably in excess of a 100 years. I mean, you know, it's sort of like, well, we got time. Let's just get on with it. Let's build something magnificent. It's the it's the fact that you're doing that and it's kind of it lays down a big chapter in your story as a people. I mean we're not the only people to do this but it's all across Europe. You find these things and they're wonderful and they send out this kind of energy wave of encouragement about life don't they? Whereas when you look at the buildings that are going they're discouraging, they are demoralizing the modern buildings.
They're saying we're poor we can only put up a box, we we haven't even got the inventiveness to put up a beautiful box it's got to be just a box box. All of these things. All of it. This is why it happens when you get commies infesting your nervous your sort of cultural nervous system. They're just, you know, they're a menace. Everything starts to to go into this spiral.
[02:22:23] Unknown:
We we need to look at the life and things in a different way. And we've got to look in a way to make people happy. And you can't make people happy by them doing, providing they don't harm anybody else, what they want to do and what they're skilled at. And I think we've all got individual talents and individual skills that need to be brought out, but they're not. They're being stifled with this idea of a job, you know, turning burgers over or whatever it is. Well, I believe if a person's turning burgers, they should do it because they wanna do it. It's because they've always aspired to it, and they probably do a bloody marvellous job of it. But Mhmm. We're not all the same, and this is what gets me. Just think, we could have thatched cottages. We could be all absolute we could beautify the whole of Great Britain if we use AI correctly. I really do believe that. Everybody could have a chauffeur, an AI chauffeur. And you should say, okay, jeez. Take me to such and such a place. You get in a lovely car, and we could all be living like millionaires.
All of us. There'd be no, you know, think about it. Yeah. Well,
[02:23:28] Unknown:
I I think the I think we're we're we're barely scratching the surface of what we could do. Do you think I've often I was thinking this, you know, the people still talking about railways but in a smaller version. You know the guys that build model railways? Or you know of? Oh yes, right? Yes. Yes. And you have model railway clubs and they always seemed a bit nerdy to me. I mean I loved it when I was eight. We used to go along when I was a little kid and I wanted a big train set, you know, that's all, you know, I don't know what it is kids and trains but it's just one of those things. But maybe maybe the appeal of it is that they can build the world that they actually really want to live in.
I know it's in miniature but, you know, it's in the world of the imagination, that kind of thing. And they sort of recreate and I'm I think I I'm sort of prone to that in terms of the things that I want to talk about. And much of it of course is a longing for a world that I wasn't really fully part of, I accept all that you know. But this I like I like the story of it as I sort of feel it or interpret it. You know this thing about when we were talking the other day about like trains having compartments. All of the sort of older things just come out of people making a comfortable space in which you could always envisage yourself having quality conversations.
And that life is is quick but not excessively frenetically speedy for no damn good reason whatsoever. Of course, the underlying thing is we've got to be more efficient because the economy, you know, the economy. We've got to get costs. Everything's got to be simplified and more brutally miserable, and you've got to move quicker and quicker. You need to work harder and harder, and you've both got to work, and you haven't got time to raise children. It's all so expensive, and it's just all of these things. They're all part of one story, which is sort of, you know, an intentional mismanagement of what we wanna build. I mean, I don't think it's really a new problem, Eric. It's probably thousands. You know, who gets to be in charge and on what basis? But it's it's particularly alarming, I suppose, the speed with which everything's getting buggled about. Here we are 2,025, and it's almost as if the world before COVID, which is what, five, six years ago, was a very, very different world.
Oh, it was? In just five years. Very different. We're only talking five years ago. It's not long is it? It doesn't seem long to me. No.
[02:25:39] Unknown:
No. Although when the outbreak of that COVID does seem a long time ago, it seems like a different world because I remember hearing on the, no. Sorry. I because I don't listen to the radio or I have a television. I just remember seeing it on the, inter no. To the light. I was in my car. Put the radio on because I often put the radio on in my car. That's about every time I listen to radio. And this woman's saying, oh, it's just like a flu virus. There's nothing to worry about. Next thing, they had lockdown, and I went down to the local town, and it was like a scene from a science fiction film.
I just could not believe what I see. People queuing outside the bank, everywhere closed on a Sunday afternoon. I thought, what is this? And it was a really smoggy, horrible day. And it really affected me. It really thought something weird. And I remember, when we had a nice day, and I was cycling along the road, and there was some shops. And there was a butcher shop, nobody around, and this bloke, the owner of this this butcher came out, and he waved. Hello, sir. Hello. And I waved back. He was so delighted to see life, human life around. Yep. And I was the only person I probably probably seen for ages because no cars on the road.
And it was just like Amiga Man. You remember the film Amiga Man? Remember that? I think I do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like an Avengers set
[02:27:06] Unknown:
where there's only, you know, Stede and Emma Peel in the middle of some big industrial, and there's only two other people there. They're always kind of bleak and lonely, very sort of surreal in a way. But I mean Yeah. But with Omega, man, Charlton Heston there is driving down the road, and he believes is the only person left in the world Mhmm. But he isn't.
[02:27:24] Unknown:
And there's other people left as well. Very interesting film. The original one from nineteen seventies, the remake was crap, but the original one's pretty good. What what do you think? I think I've seen that once a long time ago. Yeah. I think I've seen that one a long time ago. Yeah. It's he he well, because as I say, he thinks he's the only one, but he isn't. And there's, there's some mutant people wandering around that are after him. And, Vincent Price was the first one to do the film. That was in 1964. Then they made the rebate break with, Charlton Heston, I think, in the early seventies.
And then they've done other ones since then. But the one in the seventies with Charlton Heston, that's a good one. So there we go. It'll plug in. Guys.
[02:28:08] Unknown:
Charlton Esten. Yeah, Paul.
[02:28:10] Unknown:
I have located the $5,000 Africa car. The 5,000 Oh, brilliant. EV is, the Itaua, I t a o u a. And the the make of the car is called the Native, or the model of the car is the Native. And it run Tesla's in range with batteries that are 90% cheaper.
[02:28:42] Unknown:
Wow. So Yeah.
[02:28:44] Unknown:
So is there a website for it? Is there a Oh, no. Well, there's
[02:28:48] Unknown:
spell that again? I t a a o u a.
[02:28:53] Unknown:
And I just dropped a, a link to a YouTube video, in the, studio chat. So you can check that out. Thank you. I've got it. Okay. Cool. So it's the Yeah. It's $5,000.
[02:29:09] Unknown:
OUA. What was it called again? The name of the car? It's called the Native, and it's actually
[02:29:15] Unknown:
a pretty little car. I mean, there's a Chinese one that looks like a cigarettes box with wheels on it, and it's $5,000 too. But the African model is, like, leaps and bounds, prettier and bigger and more useful than the Chinese version.
[02:29:33] Unknown:
Sorry, China. Screwed up. Go back to the dryer boat. Change the batteries, e can you can you change the batteries easy if they if you got the spare? Are they cheap? You know? Can you sort of whip about in the afternoon or in about half hour or something? Oh, I believe you can.
[02:29:47] Unknown:
I don't I don't see why not. I mean, the batteries Wow. I've been Why would they say Yeah. Why would they say the batteries are 90% cheaper if you couldn't replace them. That's the beauty part. So Interesting. And it's not that they're lacking in power because they outranged a Tesla.
[02:30:11] Unknown:
They beat Tesla in range. Guarantee you will not be able to buy one in The United States or Europe.
[02:30:19] Unknown:
Oh, absolutely not. No. You'll have to buying it. Yes. You'll have to travel to Europe or travel to Africa, buy one, take delivery, drive it around for a couple of weeks, and then drag it back home as a used car.
[02:30:35] Unknown:
You can do that. The on air battery that goes well, well, well.
[02:30:39] Unknown:
Well, it says here on the YouTube video, which has not been viewed by enough people, only 4,000. This $5,000 EV from Africa is a global shockwave. Well, they're always using words like that, but it does look fun. Some points. It says, the Iron Air battery that costs 90% less than a Tesla battery, the EV uses just 370 parts versus Tesla's 10,000. There's a biggie. It charges on a standard outlet in four hours. Micro factory revolution scaling faster than any automaker. I want one. I'd buy one of those. Yeah. I'd probably get one of those. That's a beauty fireman. What what they did was they set up micro factories
[02:31:24] Unknown:
to repair or to build the cars so they can upscale, delivery as quickly as they need to. As demand increases, all they do is instead of spending millions millions of dollars and six months to a year to build a factory, they can spend a couple of $100,000 and have a factory up in six weeks and be building cars. They've done everything on a on a compartmentalized scale, and it's brilliant. Brilliant.
[02:32:01] Unknown:
I'd love that. Cool. I really would like one. And it does look nice, doesn't it? It doesn't look unpleasant.
[02:32:06] Unknown:
It's a nice design. Well, there we go, Eric. Can't we get the, Fockem Hall Minister of Yes. Transport to set up an import export company and we get those in. We better sort it out. Of course, they probably will slap a bit of a tariff on it, I would imagine. Yes. But, I mean, if they were really serious about having, city vehicles that don't emit anything, $5,000, that's what? 4,000
[02:32:27] Unknown:
pounds? Yeah. Bloody. I'd have one of them.
[02:32:31] Unknown:
Absolutely marvelous. I'd have two. I'd have one for the weekend. Yeah. In different colors. Nice grand.
[02:32:38] Unknown:
One for each week. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I like it. I really do like that one. It's it's It's a sweet looking little car. I definitely think Tesla is worried. And they're and I'll bet you I'll bet you, Musk is working to pull every single string he can administratively to keep those damn cars out of The United States.
[02:33:04] Unknown:
Oh, yes. It's ironic, isn't it, that it's from Kenya, which is not a million miles from where he apparently hails from in in Africa. So why doesn't he go there and just work with them? Because banks. Because banks, you see, always always banks. We can't have a don't you think this illustrates that point we're making earlier that people have got solutions, but they can't be implemented because of banks in simple terms. That's that's really what all it's about. Oh, no. You can't. That is gonna affect the market share of our other client. So what? Free enterprise. Tough. What do you wanna sit around making cars for? We don't wanna do that. We wanna actually live a happy life with our families.
You know, let's reduce all the effort to make cars. Let's get one tool around in it. Who cares? It's it's just a weird game that's evolved in the West. It's very weird. Actually,
[02:33:58] Unknown:
manipulating a market and limiting people's ability to access new technology should be considered a crime against humanity because it has absolutely it absolutely flies in the face of a technological advancement and the betterment of society and the human race as a whole. So if they are forcing people to use antiquated an electric an antiquated electrical power grid so they have this electric bill every month instead of having their own energy device either on their block or in their driveway, for god's sake. If they are stopping people from accessing new technology just because they wanna profit from the old stuff that incidentally destroys the planet. Hello.
China's got, what, 6,000 coal fired power plants? But I cannot walk out of a grocery store with my groceries in a plastic t shirt style disposable shopping bag just to save the damn planet?
[02:35:06] Unknown:
It's off. Well, you are a trouble you are a troublemaker, Paul. I think you I absolutely am.
[02:35:12] Unknown:
And I buy those canned things at Amazon 2,000 and a crack, and I use them with impunity and let any one of them try and tell me I can't.
[02:35:22] Unknown:
I mean, it's not to rain not to rain on this car's parade. However, there's a comment here which will not surprise you. Let me just so the company's called Mobius Motors, and this is a comment from four months ago and it says this. I can't check this, so this requires AI fact verification, which of course is highly trustworthy. But nevertheless, it says this. Mobius Motors went into liquidation and was purchased by Middle East financial firm. Well, I never. There is a massive overcapacity in auto manufacturing, especially with BYD, I think that's a Chinese firm, dumping highly subsidized autos throughout the world, probably.
So, if that is true, if a Middle East financial firm boarded up, this would be at the behest of a competitive automaker getting them to buy it up and putting them It absolutely would.
[02:36:17] Unknown:
It have and and And this and that goes right back to what I was saying. They're limiting options because the ones that are already in the place are more profitable, and they are the ones that make the profit.
[02:36:32] Unknown:
Well, this is not dissimilar to the practices that were first started, Paul, in your country back in the late eighteen hundreds when the banks couldn't lend money to anybody because everybody already had loads of money loads of money. Businesses were making so much money. They didn't need to borrow money off a bank. The middle man, this bank thing, is absolutely the scourge of the earth and has been ever since it got going in Babylon two and a half thousand years ago whenever it kicked off. And that's it's exactly the same. They'll they'll put competitors out of business because they'll say, hey. We're a big company and we owe you 5 and a half billion, and if you allow them to exist, we can't pay you back. And they go, oh, yeah. So they'll noble it and they'll use industrial espionage and anything they can to do that because they're all gonna lose their job at the bank. It's just deranged. No wonder we can't actually get on and do anything with this kind of stuff. It's why being a neo Luddite is the way to go, don't you think? We need a whole a worldwide movement of neo Luddites.
If you don't know who Luddites are, it's named after a guy called Ned Ludd. You know that song I played a few weeks ago from, the Divine Comedy? Well, it mentions Ned Ludd in the lyrics because he you know, they had exactly the same issue, different different form, but the same challenge. All these sort of automated looms and shuttles and everything that came in, which were brilliant for reducing the cost of clothes, unfortunately, were kicking people out of work. And it was a much more sensitive issue back then because they didn't have credit cards. There was no loans from the bank for a working family. You just starved to death. So it's a bit more serious, a bit more intense, you know. And that's why they started smashing up, weaving factories and things like this because they'd had enough. I mean, what are people supposed to do? It's because we're not included in the bounty, you see. The bounty is grabbed by a small group, and they go, we'll have all the profits, and you can do all the work. And this mentality, unfortunately, still exists. I mean, I think that goes some way to explaining why conservative MPs, as Liz Truss was talking about, support all this migration stuff because they're making loads of money. I mean, what they're gonna spend it on, I don't know. There won't be anything left being made that you wanna buy. Well, then what's the point of having it?
More cracked glass and steel houses. On a slightly related but parallel, line of thinking with regards to economic structures and things like that, there's a website called opencapital.net. It might be hyphenated. It might be open-capital.net. And it's put together by a guy I know personally. He put it together many, many years ago, a guy called Chris Cook, who used to work for the DTI. And, I haven't spoke to him in quite a few years, but he's a very bright lad. It's written in a kind of government ease, so bear that in mind. But there is an idea that he ran past me in 2004, which I've never had the time to really pick up and also just other things were more interesting. But it does hold an awful lot of it's very interesting, because it's got legal force behind it. So I've mentioned this a little bit before. There's there's a there used to be just limited companies over here up until about 1998 or something.
So if you want to form a corporation, you know, a thing that has a life outside of the individuals and can be taxed and all that, you form a limited company. That's the usual and people are still forming these things. But there was a massive accountancy firm called Arthur Anderson's, which has subsequently gone bust and broke, probably bought up by one of the other big ones. And they had an issue because they had major partners who did not want to be exposed to liability. So they were running a scheme out in Jersey, which is a tax haven. Lots of companies are actually formed over in Jersey for by the same sorts of people that want to avoid participating in the cost but wanna take all the profits.
And it was proven to be quite a problem because, it was working very well, and it was gonna deny the government tax revenue. Now from an honest side, that's wrong. When you've got normal peasants paying tax, it's wrong that multinationals should not pay it. Okay? I mean, I don't believe in tax anyway in the way it's structured, but that's a secondary thought. Anyway, they couldn't they couldn't really deal with it. So the they went to Anders and said, we don't like you doing this. He said, well, we don't care, really. You know?
Well, we want to sort of do a deal. So they came up with this structure called a limited liability partnership. And what it does is it basically indemnifies each of the partners, for the amount of money that they've got in the partnership. They can't be sort of smashed to bits because traditional partners partnerships, you could. You you could go all over the shop with it. Everybody was liable for everything and they had unlimited liability and this was worrying for them, understandably so, I guess. Anyway, Chris, I've been giving this some thought and you'll find a document on the property section on that site, opencapital.net, and, it's to do with housing.
I think this is really cool. I'm gonna try and explain it as best I can in in simple terms. If you wanna if you're a young person in England and Scotland, Wales, in these islands at the moment, you wanna buy a house, you've got all on to be able to do it. First of all, the price of them is through the roof, which is ludicrous. They've been inflating the prices of houses for donkey's years to boast of the money supply blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And it's very, very difficult. And of course the cost of the housing is also suppressing birth rates because people have got enough on just paying the mortgage, let alone raising a child and stuff. All of these things are by design, of course. What you what you can do with a limited liability partnership is you can form a property partnership in in a way where a person can start to own a house without getting a mortgage.
Have we got have I mentioned this before, Eric? I don't know if I've run this past you before. Have I ever mentioned this before? Silence.
[02:42:28] Unknown:
Oh, you can you hear me, Eric? You okay? Yes. I can hear you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yep. Here you are. I was just Did you nod off? So can you Would I would I do such a thing? No. Live on air? No. I'd never nod off.
[02:42:44] Unknown:
It's alright. It's fine. Well, let me get to the meat of it. So I'll just try and do an example, which is the easiest way to understand it. So it's a way that people can get a foot on the property ownership ladder without a mortgage. Therefore expect hostile maneuvers later on down the line as and when something like this grows. What you do is you have two basically, two types of partner in the partnership. Everybody has to become a partner, I. E. You supply your name and your credentials. Okay? Yes. And you have an investor partner, the people that put up the money to buy the proper the property. There can be tons of these partners, right? So an investor pool known as the investor partner section and you have the occupiers, the people that are gonna live in the property.
Let's suppose it's a £100,000. Can you buy a house in England for a £100,000 these days? Yeah, I suppose you can somewhere. Let's suppose it is. Just keep the math simple. Right? In the olden days So it's a £100,000. And, normally you're gonna have to go off and prove everything and then you get a mortgage. And if you get a mortgage, you pay it back over twenty five years and you're gonna pay somewhere between 250 and 300,000 back on that house. Yippee. That's right. From money that the bank didn't have that they lent you and then they sell the debt onto another company anyway and it's all blah blah blah blah blah blah. So what happens is this, if you say that the rentable value of that house actually, let me give you a better example around here because I've I went past the a house for a half a million quid will go current rental round is about £2,200 a month. Let's call it $2.
Right? It's £2,000 a month to rent a house valued at about half a million round in parts of here. They're not all expensive. And you wanna you wanna live in that house. Well, with the partnership you can so the partnership buys the house and owns a 100% of it and you, as the occupier partner, have to pay the £2,000 a month's rent. Okay? But you can overpay. You can even you might even be stipulated to put a small deposit down to allow you into the scheme. Let's call it that. It's a it's a partnership scheme. So they might say to you look we've got we we need to know that you're a serious partner so you've got to put up at least 2%, that's $10. You've got to find $10 in savings, yeah, and then you can come in as the renter and away you go. Now what happens is the $10 that you put into the house at this starting point means that you own 2% of it. That's how it it's like a sliding scale.
Ah. So you're actually only gonna yeah. You're you're gonna pay rent on the 98% that you don't own. So whatever 98% is of £2,000, which is less than £2,000. What is that? Whatever it is. Is it £40 off? Something like that, right? What's 1% of £2,020? So it's 40 you pay 1,960. You don't pay 2,000 because you you're not gonna rent stuff that you already own. If you if you overpay, which you can and are encouraged to do, you own more of the percent of the house. The faster you over it's like a sliding scale, yeah, between the bit that's got to be rented because you don't own it and the little bit in the early days that you do own. But you are given an idea Yes.
Yeah. You're given permission to just basically over purchase and you can keep doing that all the time. And of course the more of it that you yes, so when you've put in say $250 you're now only paying a thousand pound a month's rent because there's only half the house that you don't own in simple terms, right? Yes. And it means loads and loads of people could get on the property ladder without a mortgage.
[02:46:30] Unknown:
And they did that in the nineties. That's right. It's it they did it in the nineteen thirties. Sorry. I didn't I didn't mean to talk across you then, but my father used to talk about this. Rent to buy, it was called.
[02:46:40] Unknown:
Right. Well, I mean, it's cool. Whatever the structure was back then, this is just an under a partnership arrangement. So you've always got a stake in it. If, for example, one month you can't pay the rent, let's suppose you now own $40 of this half a million pound house, you can't pay the rent. All that happens is your ownership goes down by the value of £1,960 or whatever the rent would have been that month because you'll pay it. So you're having to rent the bit that you don't own because there's a capital investment that goes into the scheme as a whole, which is being used to buy more properties to bring more people to come in to get their foot on the property ladder.
Makes sense, doesn't it? That wasn't too complicated. Sense.
[02:47:19] Unknown:
Or for years. You see, when I started off in the industry, they said that I never forget the lecture saying, was it I think the building industry, the second largest employer in the country. I can't remember. I think the first is a health service. And he said, you'll always find a bigwig in, standing in the wings that you don't quite see of every political party. And he said, there are two types of political parties in this country, and and this was in the seventies. He said this, the road builders and the house builders. And if you're into house building, you vote for the house builders. And if you're to road building, you vote for the road builders. He said because you'll find that people like McAlpine and that always near the top and pulling strings government. Mhmm. Now for years, what the building industry has done is they've prevented mass produced houses because every house is primitive.
It's a one off because, look at these horrible stack up block estates. They're really, really dreadful. But in the sixties, they did try an experiment, but again the building industry clamped down on it, where, they did what they do in, Greece, and that is you buy the land and then you buy and then you build a house on it. And they do this in Germany where, you can order a house, you get the foundation laid down, and then they will come and build that house in about two days. Just straight up. And it's like a a a a timber frame property.
[02:49:01] Unknown:
Straight up. Sears did that. Sears Roebuck did that. You could buy a piece of land and then build and then buy a kit house. It was delivered. All the pieces that you would need to assemble it yourself That's it. Were delivered to your property.
[02:49:18] Unknown:
Yeah. And it was it would take something like a day and a half or two days, and that that would you you it it go up like a rocket. And, there's a company that did it, and they did this do this in Germany today.
[02:49:31] Unknown:
Well, I mean, you know, the example I gave is probably the most expensive way of doing it, buying an existing property that's on the market. Right? But what you're talking about, and I think in that paper it covers that, you buy the land. And you have a developer build it and therefore the house that's that would be valued at 500 is not that's not the sales price because it's part of in other words you have a developer partner that builds these things they make their modest operating profit without it going to market where it's beefed up by the middleman, which is what happens all the bloody time. As I've said yeah. As I've said sorry. Again, I didn't mean to sharmen. I thought I said many times is I'm very,
[02:50:10] Unknown:
I believe that the building regulations should be strict because that's building regulations are for how our health and safety. So, yes, let's let's make sure that the and nowadays, they privatize building inspectors so houses are not being inspected like they used to. And Yeah. I think we're gonna have a disaster soon. I really I hope I'm totally wrong, but I think we are because it's all for profit. And they have university students coming round who are just swinging out a university that knows subtle what they're looking at. Whereas once upon a time, you'd have an ex builder who would become the building inspector. He knew his stuff, and he knew all the tricks of the trade. So he knew if someone's trying to pull pull the wool over his eyes. And what a good building inspector did was show you a cheap way of doing it or a better way of doing whatever it is you're you're doing on they were there to help.
Now they're not. They're there to make a profit. But I believe, yes, in in in not privatizing the the building inspectors, but, burning and a huge bonfire of planning regulations because it's a law under its own, and it should be simplified, and buildings should be what the local community and the local people want, not what they don't want, what we've got at the moment. Because huge property developers have taken it over, and this is what I'm against, the property developers. Because I think you should be able to say buy a plot of land, and it's so complex and complex, the building rig the planning rigs. It's ridiculous.
And then have, like, you you go along to, to IKEA and you get, like, a book, and you open it up and say, oh, yes. I'd like that there, and I'd like that color droof, and I'd like this and that. And they've got a law in Australia in one of the states where two houses next to each other must not look the same. They've gotta be different. Every house has gotta be different to make it and they've got to be such a certain distance away from the road. And this is all part of their their their and that simplify the regulations all the way through. The other thing they do is have a tunnel along the side of the road that all the services go down. So they very rarely dig up a road if anything goes wrong, like water or electricity, because it all goes down a service channel, and it just needs some poser. I just go down the tunnel and, fix the problem. And this is why you don't get road ups and things like that. The idea of burying water and electricity is ridiculous. It's bonkers. Yep. Why can't I go down a service tunnel?
[02:52:51] Unknown:
A whole lot. Well, I know a little I know a little group around here that are looking to buy some land to do a kind of community development. I don't like the word community, but we all know what we mean. I don't know. It just makes me feel funny. It always makes me think of sort of dead counsellors and things like this. Yeah. And all that. You know what I mean? There's something immediately sort of not romantically fun about it. It's immediately sort of procedural and administrative and tedious. I immediately like, who the can we find some different words? But getting together like in a housing club is much more I prefer the word club. So if you get together in one of these sort of housing club partnership things, that would be the way to go. It re I mean, I just think it would. And there's, you know, although many people are brassic lint and we're told the economy is suffering and it is, there are still people with sitting on considerable sums of dead capital in the sense that it's not really earning very much and they would like to do something with it. And I think another thing is that when people get wealthy towards the tail end of their life, this is another way in which it could be organized. I mean, there's so many people that pass away without a will and the government absorbs all this stuff through inheritance tax and all these other things that we're not funding ourselves properly and we are also faced with people that are coming here that do organize themselves economically. If you go if you go to opencapital.net, you'll find a paper on Islamic banking.
And I mentioned it here before. In principle, it's sounder, way sounder than what we are allowed to have. It's just hideous. I agree with that. It's just insult to bloody injury. Yeah. It's absolutely the case. And they structure loans in a different way or at least they say they do. They're they're, you know, they've got the same disease now going on. They just can't make enough money. And it's this compulsion, this love of making money that's producing a lack of real wealth in the world. It is drug addiction. It's like keeping score, I've got all this in the bank well it's no bloody use there to you mate. I mean what you know why do you need it all? What's that old thing you know money money piled up in one place smells like shit spread around everything grows and mechanisms like this are needed. So I've been talking to my sons about it because one of my sons is sort of well up on property and stuff like this and doing things with it. And I said we really need to get something going with this. I mean I'm not really an administrative board. I sort of start getting sheets of paper and I go bloody hell I've got a plan for this crap. I hate it. Right? But but I know people that are good with that and sort of thrive on it and you need to have some of those people in there. And I think if it was made plain and simple, here's the avenue for our people to get on the housing ladder so they can start to have families. I know it's a small little thing that we're just talking about here, but it's simply a matter of actions. If there is land available to buy and you can get a clutch of developer partners, builders and the like, and architects that can design the houses to your wishes, you should be able to get built a lot lot less expensively than buying an existing one and build good quality housing as you see fit as long as all the numbers are known beforehand.
I just I love the idea of That's right. You've mentioned rent to buy and somebody else I think Alvin Kirk, somebody else mentioned rent to buy in the chat. That's basically it. You rent the house that you don't own, the part of the house that you don't own, which in the early stage will be the bulk of it, but you always have the option to overpay. And so you're encouraged to do that and everybody's happy about that because you're reducing the rental part down and you're providing more money back into the partnership so they can build another house for the next guy to come along and set up alongside you. Yeah but not only that.

Yeah. But the houses, it should I mean, I'm very much into feng shui. A house should blend with the countryside and hillside. You look at an old country village where you got the church steeple and things like that. The house is blended in. So I I strongly believe that local materials should be used. Like, for example, once upon a time, you took a picture of anywhere in a country, you'd say, oh, yes. I know where that house is. It's the Cotswolds because they're using Cotswolds stone. Or that's in Devon because they got beautiful, well, it's actually mud, actually.
But, you know, they got these beautiful old cottages. Yeah. Now you could take a picture anywhere, and the houses are bland and the same. You go to a shopping center. You could be anywhere in this country, go anywhere in Europe for that matter, and the shopping centers are exactly the same wherever you go. I want to start something against bland architecture. To me, you should it should beautify and enhance the land. That's what buildings should do. You look along, and amongst the trees and the flowers, and where you've got woods and trees and things like that, this is what we we need. We're humans, and we need to look out on a wooded area or or countryside.
Towns actually, I think they, they're like prisons, and this is where you got communism come from, I think. Town is people that don't like beauty and don't like countryside.
[02:57:55] Unknown:
Yeah. This makes people mentally ill. It I really do I mean, I'm not there's lot lots of friends of mine that that live in towns, yes, But I really do believe that cities make people mentally sick. I really do. Oh, they they absolutely do. We've not been living in them really that long. I mean, there's always been a part of the population that did going all the way back to Rome. Right? But the vast majority of people did not to the degree that they do now and the urban landscape and all that kind of stuff. I mean, we could, you know, you couldn't help the whole they're always saying, well, there's a housing crisis shortage. No. They're in. There's a it's both common sense shortage. You're right. It's not it everybody they address they even describe problems.
The way that they describe the problem is a problem in itself because it's miss it's intentionally misleading. And what you're talking about all this blandness is about the centralization of control which is the centralization of capital which is the easiest way for them to hive it off. That's, you know, why do you have That's right. When you have counties. I mean, I would if you're gonna have building regulations, have them on a county basis. We live here in Devon. We've got this type of stone or whatever it is that's readily available. We insist that you use it. Why? Because it's actually great. It'll keep the houses down. We can we can house our people, the Vonians or whatever you call more easily. And same in Yorkshire and Worcestershire and wherever it is. It'd be much and then we'd go around England like it used to be like you were saying with all these different types of quirky architecture which is why people got the bloody Cotswolds now.
They're just telling you something else. Well, so
[02:59:31] Unknown:
we're coming to the end of the show now but what I was going to say look at Letchworth Gardens City from the Sea of Architecture done in the Edwardian times nineteen o seven. Beautiful. Yep. There we go. Yeah. Wonderful.
[02:59:44] Unknown:

Thank you very much for being with us for the last three hours. We will, of course, be back here again same time next week.

[03:00:56] Unknown:
Those were great people. I don't know. Oh, that's nice to say that. I I I Yes. We are. Very I thought very funny. Very funny. Well, that's bloody very close. You know, I've checked it out, and the network I'm on, which is smart, which is EE, because my router is not plugged in as such. It's, you know, it uses, a SIM card. It's like a phone router. There's been a major outage on EE tonight, and it would happen at the time, the worst time, which was about quarter past eight when we came on air. And it was about quarter Not to worry. Yeah. These things happen. They just do happen. It's okay. It's cool. What what happened, last night, there was something I I think it's been ongoing a long time because it took me where was it now? Took me six hours to download Monday's show.
Six hours. It was so slow. So there's Right. There is Speed up now.
[03:01:55] Unknown:
There's been funny things going on. My machine's been playing up and I'm seriously, I'm gonna have to buy another I can't actually switch away from Windows for the show. Well, I can, but I've got to buy a physical mix and the I just can't be arsed. This actually works. So I'm gonna strip down most of the things I run on this Windows computer. I'm gonna get another one. This one will be my broadcasting thing, which seems a bit excessive, but I think I can do that. And I'm I'm switching over to Linux. I've been looking at the the problem the sound setup on Linux is a bloody nightmare. It really it's just awful. There's so many bits I need that just don't exist. Oh, printers as well. So now a printer on Linux is a is a nightmare.
[03:02:33] Unknown:
I used to be into Linux. That was Ubuntu, and that's the best one to get because it's it's more common than chips. And if anything goes wrong, you can always find, answers to it. But, I double booted. So I would either when it started up, I'd either boot into Windows or Linux. And I

This is Paul English live, this Thursday. We're back at our usual time stateside as well. It's just gone 03:00. So we're all back and happy and on the same old time mess as we used to be. Welcome to the show. Well, we had such a laugh on Monday over at Eric's Fockemple Pub, whatever it was called, but, well, we've brought a few of the drinkers along this evening as well. They'll be joining us in half an hour or so, but, we should be joined by Paul and Nathan Lucius. And we may even have another guest rocking up later on, so it's gonna get quite crowded tonight. I know it should be fun.
And, I've got my tea ready tonight. Those of you that listened last week, will have heard me bleating like a little sad sap that, I'd meant to make some tea for the show and I forgot to do it. But you see, it just takes a little bit of training. One week later, here we are. I've got nearly a pint, nearly a pint here of Earl Grey, and also some apple juice. So I don't know what you've got in front of you, dear listeners, but I hope you've got something to keep your whistle wet or something like that. Somebody whose whistle is always reasonably wet and ready to chat is, Eric von Essex. And, Eric, good evening. Welcome to the show. How are you this fine November evening in jolly old England? Good evening.
[00:04:07] Unknown:
I'm I'm absolutely spiffing and jolly bees. My my whistle is rather moist. I'm using a Rhubosh tea, It's South African's Rhubosh tea. It's very nice, you know. Sorry. Does that sound a bit South African? I don't know. But, yes, with some, cow cow juice in it. You either love it or you hate it. But, I've got, you know yeah. Oh, yes. Have you tried Rhubosh? You get it in, No. Oh, you didn't get it in. It's a bit it's a bit perfumey if you I found if you get it in Aldi's. A little Yes. Tell it. Whether or not How do you spell it then? Small palette.
Oh, bloody Nora. I don't know. It's hang on. I'll look it up. Just one moment. Rhubosh tea. Rhubosh tea.
[00:04:59] Unknown:
I don't think my cat makes it. Yes. It's, it's called
[00:05:03] Unknown:
r r double o I b o s. It's the rebos. R double o. You got a sack with the South African accent. I s. Rooibos. No. No. R double o I b o s. It's it's sometimes called Redbush
[00:05:20] Unknown:
Right.
[00:05:21] Unknown:
I b o s. And,
[00:05:29] Unknown:
that what we need? We need an Afrikaans inter Roobos. Yes. Roobos. I quite like that. Roobos.
[00:05:36] Unknown:
That's what it is. I'd I don't think my cat likes We used to work with our Rhodesian chap, you see. What? Rhubarb's
[00:05:45] Unknown:
tea? No. I don't think my cat likes that. She was on my she was on my lap sitting in front of the heater for, like, a half hour before the show started. And as soon as you mentioned Rhubarb's, she got up and got down. So either she doesn't like the sound of your voice or she just detests that t. I think I'm going with the t.
[00:06:05] Unknown:
I see. Yes. Well, who could possibly be the t? Voice. This is wrong apart from a cat. Yeah. This would be wrong, wouldn't it?
[00:06:13] Unknown:
Yeah. That would be wrong. Well, I I used to work with a, I I used to work with this bloke from Zimbabwe, and we'd say, ah, you're from Zimbabwe. No. I'm from the Rhodesia. And he got very upset about that, but he just but he had a an accent, which I don't know quite why, but it it hit our funny bone. And when he said rhino, hippo, and bicycle, we're off our seats with laughter. And I don't know the reason why because he's not really funny. You know? I was I was lying on my bicycle and I saw either rhino in Hippo. And we was absolutely crying. We laughed. He said, why are you taking the piss out of me? This is the way I speak. You know? Sorry. It sounds like a rabbi, didn't it? But so no. That's that's,
[00:06:55] Unknown:
Rhodesian. It shouldn't sound like any rabbi I've met, but then I have to say I've not really met many rabbis, so I wouldn't really no. I'm not an expert on how they speak. I've met any. The other vowel sound or the main vowel sound in significant is an e sound. It's Sifliken. Everything is e, isn't it? And it was, of course, it was a rather mocked and detested accent in the nineties, I remember. And even in the eighties, I think Spitting Image used to didn't they make a whole song about I've never met a nice South African and all that kind of stuff? But I think it's a fantastic accent. I really do. I like it a lot. Yes. I kind of like it. Yes.
[00:07:32] Unknown:
Mhmm. Because the big difference between the English type and the real Afrikaans, who are Dutch heritage, the Dutch farmers. Yep. And you can actually tell a difference in their accent. There's a big difference, because they got a a they they were more of a strong accent. But Rhodesia, and I still call it Rhodesia, but it's a nice name, that is another totally different accent as well. But there's just something funny about this bloke's accent that just gave it a funny bone. And I really can't know I really do not know the reason why. It's just so that way he said things. I don't know why it was funny.
[00:08:06] Unknown:
Some people are just naturally funny and they don't know it. And they don't even like being funny, but you just can't help but laugh at them all the time. It's a bit sad, isn't it?
[00:08:15] Unknown:
It is actually. Yes. You said, I'm fed up with you taking the piss out of me, you know?
[00:08:24] Unknown:
But, it's Anyway, has there has there been anything going on in the world this week, Eric? I mean, I haven't paid attention to it. Something must have happened. Anything gone on? I'll tell you what happened. I went out for a walk this morning. Mhmm. And, I I just couldn't get the walk started. It was impossible. Well, impossible is obviously not true because I made it all the way back here to the desk armed with Earl Grey tea and some apple juice. But, within the first 200 yards of walking, I had four conversations. Four.
It took me half an hour to get to the end of the road. Yeah. Yeah. I think I must have a side of my head now that just says I'm I'm a nice bloke. Come and talk to me. Let you know one of those things. Like I'm really looking at yeah. It was great. First guy I met got brain damage so that was a bit of a long conversation but he was I'm serious. It was quite interesting. Yeah. Yeah. He'd, I think I've seen him walking around before. He had a therapy dog. I learned a lot today. So he had this dog, he said this is a therapy dog. A therapy dog. Yeah? He'd basically been out I got that I mean he could rather as challenging condition for him really. He, he goes out walking, we can still do that, and he takes his therapy dog with him, which is not a big dog or anything. It's to make him feel good so that he didn't get anxious. But what happened was he was a bit of a sort of, intense runner. He used to run a lot. He's out running with his mate, has a big has a big heart attack half an hour before the medical people could come and pick him up and it affected parts of his brain because it was starved of oxygen.
He was quite coherent when he spoke but he was just telling me that they'd given him a therapy dog, which I and I quite liked that. It's quite nice. That's quite sweet. Yeah. Yeah. It was. And and he's I said, so what what's the purpose of that? He said, it's to calm me down. He said, I stop I don't panic as much. He said, because I sometimes don't know quite what I'm doing. And then, he seemed to be very concerned about the climate, because it's very warm today. I don't know what it was like with you. We always talk about the Oh, it was fantastic.
[00:10:21] Unknown:
It was brilliant today. Wasn't it? Lovely warm. Yeah. I I went for a long walk as well, and it was really nice. I mean, I was gonna go by bike, but I thought, I don't know. I'd cycle back in the dark, and I don't really like cycling in the dark. It's just one of those things. I just prefer to say I like to cycle when it's sunny and nice. I don't like it when it's dark, so I just let a walk instead.
[00:10:40] Unknown:
I don't know what Oh, it's just a psychological thing. It's A cycle a cycle a cycle is psychological. I I look. I I think I've smashed more bikes up riding in the dark than I ever did in the day because you hit a pothole. And I I ended up actually, this is a long time since but about fifteen years back, it was we were tramming along at some speed and suddenly watch out. Of course, I couldn't see it fast enough. I was in the middle of the thing and it just completely bent me wheel all to boogery. Oh, that was a fun night. Yes. It's difficult. But modern lights on bikes are pretty amazing. There's a light half the countryside. They're stunning. Absolutely amazing things. Oh, I've been thinking about the last one. Into mountain biking and they had almost like a massive light rig all over the thing. He said, we'll be alright with this. You don't need any lights. There's like the whole landscape lights up. It's like a helicopter going through the woods. Yeah. It's pretty cool, actually. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I mean, I could've done it. You know, I have done it in the past, but,
[00:11:32] Unknown:
it's just, I think you're safer at night in many ways because when you're illuminated, you have, drivers can see you. But during the day, you know, you can sort of blend in with a background
[00:11:43] Unknown:
because, I know I don't wear any sort of a luminous vest or anything like that unless it's at night. Then I'm wearing a luminous one. But, I think what the I think what the listeners are very keen to hear and by the way, shout out to all the listeners. Hi there, everybody, on Rumble and YouTube. Hi, everybody, on radio, on WBN three two four, and on Eurofot Radio, and Holy Land Radio, and Eurofot Radio, and Global Voice Network. I can remember them all now. Yeah. I think what the listeners really want to know, Eric, because I'm sure it's cropped a bomb, is do you wear Lycra?
[00:12:15] Unknown:
No. No. The thing is, I don't actually buy any fruit. You see, when you buy wear lycra, you gotta put something like a banana and then a couple of apples down in front of your trousers. Not if you're from Yorkshire. You don't.
[00:12:29] Unknown:
Yeah. Things like that.
[00:12:32] Unknown:
But, by the way, we might have had someone else joining us after 09:00. Someone, who's, I think he's, Yogi Bear. Oh, hang on a minute. No. Sorry. He's a corporate Yogi called Greg. So he might be talking about after nine. Yeah. You mind doing that? Okay. Well, that's very inter we're gonna be that's even more packed because,
[00:12:53] Unknown:
Eli James sent me a message today saying, can I come on and talk about Venezuela? Didn't wanna talk about Vietnam, but at least it begins with V. Right? Yes. Yes. So I said, sure. Well, it's gonna be packed out. I don't think I'm gonna have to do much tonight. I think I'll just get you all rolling, and then I'm just gonna sit and drink tea and burp every now and again, to add color and atmosphere to the broadcast. I think that would be quite good. As long as it's not, yes, as long as it's just a burp and nothing else. It's interesting because today's picture, which you're probably not seeing because I forgot to fling it out all over Telegram. I've just been so distracted today having a nice time polishing my nails, you know, things like this.
It's actually of a party. So it's sort of a party. Everybody's sort of spontaneously generating light in their hand, which of course is what we do in the conversation, isn't it? So it's just a pretty picture. It doesn't really mean too much actually, but, there there we go. So it's gonna turn out to be quite a hullabaloo tonight around the microphone. I think It certainly is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 84 people in the studio. So it's quite a few, everybody. So you'll have to we'll have to send a chat out so you can keep track of all the voices as they pile in. But just going back to this chap that I was talking to. Yeah. He'd he'd, I was talking about yeah. I was talking to him. I was talking about him. He, he'd been out running, had this coronary, affected his brain, came back.
He was quite a very polite, nice guy, but he was telling me some of the challenges he's had. I mean I couldn't cope with this, like for example, he can't read books. He said I can read a page. He said the problem is I can't once I get onto the next page I can't remember what I just read on the first page. I said that must be a blow. He said yeah, he said it's really difficult. I can't sort of track things. He said if there's anything sort of linguistically complex on TV like some like us, you know, fast talking, sharp witted, rapier wisp type guys. He gets he gets flustered and lost and can't watch it. I said, oh, that's a pity. But anyway, at least he had his therapy dog. Yeah. Yeah. It was a bit much really. I mean, you know, he wasn't a spring chicken, but he wasn't ancient either. He was maturing middle years. Let's put it that way. Sixties, something early sixties. So, you know, not ancient by any means, but, yeah, nice guy. So yeah. And then over the road, next guy, another guy in shorts. So we had a talk about shorts. That lasted fifteen minutes. He's flitting off to Australia in his shorts.
Sorry.
[00:15:12] Unknown:
Oh, blimey. So you got something there, hadn't you? Yes. Well, you know, whilst you're choked to death, I'll, regarding Schultz, now better not tell that joke about the Irishman going out on top of a bus. No. No. No. Better better not say that one. Oh, that's a lot better. Oh, is that a lot better? Yes. Oh, wow. That was a bit of a surprise. Didn't like that. Yes. Because, it's before the, watershed. I can't tell you about the Irishman wanting shorts, can I? Mhmm. No. I can't tell that gag. I'll probably tell you after 10:00. It's a bit of a smarty one.
So there we go. But, by the way, did you know that next week, it's an alternative, well, it's remembrance, and every year I do an alternative remembrance. And, people on the alternative remembrance, have a connection with other one World War one, World War two, or whatever, whether it's a parent or whatever it is. And we sort of speak on their behalf, so to speak.
[00:16:09] Unknown:
So, but it's an alternative doing that? Because the eleventh is Tuesday, isn't it? The eleventh will Tuesday. So Is the that Is that right? Are you doing the show on Tuesday? He said still joking. So I sound like that old. No. No. You're doing the show on Tuesday.
[00:16:26] Unknown:
No. Actually, we're gonna do it on Monday beforehand. So it will be the Monday the where was it now? The tenth, I think it is. So we're gonna do it on Monday the tenth, and then I'm gonna do another one when Monica comes on as well. So it's gonna be part one and part two. And, we're going to, so we call it should we call it, I'm gonna call it official historic amnesia. So deliberate map so something around that idea because quite honestly what we have, we have historical amnesia. What they do is they only tell you what they want you to know, and that's it, with remembrance. So it's gonna be quite interesting, and I'm also going to talk about how those who survived the charge of the light brigade, how many of them ended up in the workhouse in complete poverty.
So there we go. And people not many people would know that. Yeah.
[00:17:25] Unknown:
Well, obviously
[00:17:26] Unknown:
yeah. Hopefully, you don't get amnesia about the show and forget to do I mean, that would be although it would illustrate the point brilliantly well, wouldn't it? It could illustrate the point. It would do. It would do. Yes. I might actually on the eleventh. I might what I sometimes do is have a recorded show that goes out at the eleventh hour at 11:00 so people can tune in exactly on that time, and I set it up to to go out automatic. So, I might do that on the Tuesday. So,
[00:17:52] Unknown:
stay tuned. You never know. Well, I'll tell you what. Although this is no promises, if you wanted to go live on Tuesday morning, we could do that at 11:00 till midday. How about an hour? That wouldn't be bad. That would be brilliant. That really would be brilliant. We can go on Soapbox. We all get out here on WBN. I think their schedule's all full ups,
[00:18:09] Unknown:
but, we could go live. Thanks, Paul.
[00:18:12] Unknown:
Well, we can stick it over a couple of YouTube channels. I'll stick it on my channel and stuff like that and rumble and stuff, and we can just do an hour on a on a Tuesday morning. It's like a trial date for a breakfast show. So I'll do that. Oh, that that would be fantastic.
[00:18:24] Unknown:
Because I always start it off with a minute of hearing birdsong as a sort of, I don't know. It's just to start the emotion off. So I just do one minute of birdsong so people can hear birds whistling and things like that as a kind of I don't know, a bit of respect. That's it. You know? And, but, it's not solemn. I I I keep it a bit lighthearted. So I really look forward to that. Thanks, Paul. That's much appreciated. I look that's fantastic. And, of course, that was in the autumn. And '25.
[00:18:55] Unknown:
2025,
[00:18:56] Unknown:
aren't we, sir? And it's exactly eighty years since World War two, isn't it?
[00:19:01] Unknown:
Ended. Ended. Yes. Good grief. So it is. You know, I've forgotten about it. And World War three started. I suppose. And It's back to back. Straight off straight into the whole thing. Absolutely. Yes. Oh, no. Well, that's good. Okay. Well, so we'll keep everybody notified. That's just, we shouldn't sort of big up other shows than when we're doing this one. But, yeah. We'll do something Tuesday morning, 11:00, English time, of course. So That's right. Probably useless for Americans, 06:00 in the morning. But never mind. We'll put it out and replay something a bit later in the day. Now that'll be fun. We can talk about that. Well, fun's probably the wrong word. That would be a good thing to do. So that would be a good thing to do. Yeah. I look forward to that.
[00:19:40] Unknown:
And it's always an alternative one. So it's it's very different to what you'd the the official stuff. Often controversial. So what? He says this, so that's so it is it's gotta be a little bit controversial, but still respecting everybody that was in any war regardless of their nationality. Anybody in war, that's it, you know? So there we go. Hello, Eli. We just mentioned that so that is it's World War three starting next weekend. Can you put it off, mate? Because we wanna do our show. Early. I'm gonna bring Eli in now. Let me just add him to the stage.
[00:20:14] Unknown:
You're an early bird, Eli. We're we're having mayhem here in the studio tonight. We're completely oversubscribed with everybody's rocket, but it's great to have you. How are you? Anyway
[00:20:24] Unknown:
I'm I'm I'm fretting about the start of World War three, but but go ahead. Go ahead, Eric. You were gonna say something. Yeah. Yeah. I can explain. I was actually gonna come on, because Eric wanted me to talk more about Vietnam. And so we can do that another time. Yeah. Mhmm. And, you know Eli. The whole yeah. Right. Yeah. Eric. Yeah.
[00:20:48] Unknown:
Yeah. Can I ask a favor? I mean, would you like to come on, the, because I'm gonna do two remembrances, alternative remembrance. And if you'd like to speak about Vietnam, that'd be fantastic.
[00:21:01] Unknown:
Is that the next Tuesday you guys are talking about? Alternative
[00:21:05] Unknown:
remembrance? I can't I can't hear you. The voice is your voice is breaking up. Oh. Is that better? Oh, really? Okay.
[00:21:13] Unknown:
I'm hearing you, nice and clear.
[00:21:15] Unknown:
You're fine, Neil. I think that must have just been a bit of Internet cofuffledge there for Eric. Is it cleared up a bit for you, Eric, now? Is it okay? Can can you hear it, Paul? Can you hear it? Yeah. Yeah. I can't. He's breaking up. Loud and clear.
[00:21:27] Unknown:
Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So World War three has come to your neighborhood, Eric. Right. Yeah. I I've had problems with my Internet. Really strange. My my entire Google Chrome just shut off, and I had to re reload it. That's never happened before. I don't know how that happened.
[00:21:48] Unknown:
Oh, interesting. My entire Windows system shut down today. Oh, that's right. First time ever. Well, that So yeah. First, I mean, for I've had this problem about I've had this system about two years. It's worked it works really well. There was no it just locked. I had to literally turn the power off. I hate doing that because you think I'm gonna but it's, fingers crossed, everything's working. But I've I think I mentioned I've been looking at Linux actually to move over to it. But from an audio point of view, it really is a pain in the bottom. I'm just so but I've I've got to go to it because Windows is, interestingly Linux on the desktop is growing very quickly and Windows has absolutely stalled. And I think it's absolutely stalled. And I think it's cost what they're doing is they're doing the bait and switch now, big time. I think Windows 11 or whatever the next one is that you've got to have. Yeah. Yeah. They they've got all these subscription services. They wanna tap you up for $5 a month there and $6 a month there. And I'm just sick of all that. Oh, so you can be spied on. No. You're being spied on anyway. I don't wanna pay to be yeah. We're being paid to be spied we're paying to be spied on. This is just outrageously wrong. If they're gonna they should be paying us to spy on us. Surely, we should get a spy fee, shouldn't we? Surely. The spies. We're the spiees. Something like that. Right.
[00:23:04] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Eric, can you hear me any better now or what? No.
[00:23:10] Unknown:

He's just down the road in Fuckingham Hall. He's in yeah. He's in Fuckingham Hall Fields running around there chasing the cows right now. That's what's going on. Yeah. Loud and clear. Eric sees him breaking up. I don't know what it is.
[00:23:54] Unknown:
Yeah. Maybe, Eric, maybe you could just reboot
[00:23:58] Unknown:
and come back in. Why don't you leave the studio and come back in again? You might just go up there. Is that okay, Paul? I'll I'll come out and I'll come back in. How's that? Yeah. Cool.
[00:24:07] Unknown:
I'll I'll add you back to the stage as soon as you've gone. Am I breaking up?
[00:24:10] Unknown:
No. You're fine. No. I I I hear him fine. Yep. We hear you fine. This this was his audio. This was his audio. So sometimes you just have to reboot to make things work right again.
[00:24:24] Unknown:
Yeah. K. The wonders of life, Blue Breeze. Paul, shall I reboot?
[00:24:28] Unknown:
I don't think you need to reboot. I think you need to just Is it me? Studio. Because I just can't hear Eli at all. He's just breaking up. You're on a big lag. Very loud and clear.
[00:24:37] Unknown:
Yeah. Yep. We're on a bit of a time lag even with you, Eric. There's something going on at your end, I think. Why don't you just come out of the studio and then come back in again? Let's see if that clears you don't you shouldn't have to do a reboot for this. It's,
[00:24:49] Unknown:
you know. Okay. Get the hell out of here.
[00:24:52] Unknown:
Did you hear that? He's on a big he's very delayed even talking to me. So there's something going on with Derek. I think everybody else is Yeah. There's something that's weird. I've got proper British Internet, but he's been using that flaky fucking whole Internet service. And that's what's going on. Yeah. It's And he's letting us It's it's You know, it's terrible. What what am I supposed to do? It's going
[00:25:11] Unknown:
it's going through Israel.
[00:25:13] Unknown:
Do you mind if I drink my tea everywhere? It goes cold. I've got a huge vat of Earl Grey tea here and I just realized they ignored him. He's getting cold. This is no good. Yeah. I did a slurp real time. I I could add slurps for, to add atmosphere and stuff like that. But, Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Eric is muttering to himself. I can hear that,
[00:25:32] Unknown:
but he's not hearing me. I don't know. Is Eric hearing you okay?
[00:25:37] Unknown:
No. He's not. He's he's not in the studio anymore at the moment. Oh, he's not in it. I see. Yeah. Okay. No. He's cleared off. He's he's gone off. He's he's I think he's gone to the count of Fockem's Fockem's best bitter. He just needs a couple of beers inside him. He'll be fine. And then we should get the productivity back. The other Paul is asking you a question, I think.
[00:25:56] Unknown:
Sorry. I'm talking to some American Paul. Who are you?
[00:25:59] Unknown:
Yeah. Who are you?
[00:26:02] Unknown:
Anyway, what do you do here? Emmy Paul. Hi. Hi, Eli. For a change, I can hear everybody. I can hear everybody perfect, even Eric. So I don't know what's going on. Alright. Maybe maybe he's still using Windows.
[00:26:18] Unknown:
Yeah. I don't know. Eric Eric, are you picking us all up properly? He's back on stage. Yeah. Eric, welcome back to the studio. How are you doing? Have you put your trousers on now?
[00:26:29] Unknown:
The it it you gotta get lederhosen. You gotta get lederhosen. They they repel the, vibrations of the, air.
[00:26:38] Unknown:
Okay? Yeah. I think he he might have to reboot. He's definitely having serious Internet issues at the moment. Yeah. He's back on stage, but we can't even hear him. So there's something going on. Yeah. Yeah. It's reboot.
[00:26:50] Unknown:
My my back I think Whenever I have a problem like this, I just automatically reboot.
[00:26:54] Unknown:
I think it's a conspiracy. I really do.
[00:26:57] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, what isn't a conspiracy? Exactly. Okay. What is a conspiracy? So okay. Well, there's so much going on. And, the reason I I I checked in early is because, World War three, it it looks like it's getting ready to start next weekend. You probably heard about the Donald Trump, who I'm gonna call Trumpstein from now on.
[00:27:25] Unknown:
Oh, that's a bit Because it
[00:27:27] Unknown:
yeah. Because he's a he's a shill for the bad guys. No doubt about it. No. And Really? Yeah.
[00:27:33] Unknown:
Right? Right?
[00:27:35] Unknown:
Yep. Well, he doesn't wear a yarmulke every day. He just wears it when he goes to Israel and bangs his head on the railing wall. He he's he's a decidedly ambivalent figure, isn't he? And, Oh, yeah. For most people. Yes.
[00:27:48] Unknown:
He is. Because, I mean, it's a bit like, clocks, you know, stop clocks being right twice a day. He's a bit like that. Some of the things he says you go, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the other stuff you go, no, no, no. Definitely not ever, ever, ever.
[00:28:02] Unknown:
Did he say that?
[00:28:04] Unknown:
Yeah. It's like a schizophrenic thing. I mean, I think, you know, we have to I just keep winding back to my base position with all of this because it's exhaust I find it exhausting trying to keep up with the next, you know, day of lies or whatever, is that these guys, including Trump, are not in charge. He's not in charge at all. Of course not. Yeah. That's it. It's not even about him. He's just he's doing a very good acting job. I'm sure they're quite pleased with him. Oh, man. What's the I mean, the idea that he's in charge is just it's nonsense like a bloody comic book. Yeah. A bad comic book of that. Comic book sounds a bit more intelligent than this sort of stuff. It's ridiculous.
[00:28:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, every a a human marionette bouncing up and down on the strings of his handlers, it's gotta make him dizzy. Mhmm. He's gotta be getting dizzy, and that's why he slips up every once in a while. Okay? He's got to slip up because Yeah. You can only keep so many lies running around your head for so long without slipping up. And the Internet is full of slip ups these days.
[00:29:08] Unknown:
It is. Yes. It is. I I thought the really the bit of news that's obviously struck my earlobes, I've not bothered checking it out, is that I understand that New York have got a new mayor. Paul would know things about this, wouldn't it Paul? You're within earshot of New York, aren't you? You're you're within the environs of the yes. So it sounds as though you're in for a thrilling time just like Londoners have been for the last x number of years by having somebody in the role that really shouldn't even be in the nation, let alone in that role. No. Or am I No. Absolutely. Am I I got a question. Yeah.
[00:29:42] Unknown:
Yeah. Amipal. Amipal. Amipal. Ami means my people in Hebrew. Is your new Muslim mayor going to admit that the Muslims did nine eleven, or is he gonna point the finger elsewhere?
[00:29:56] Unknown:
I don't know. I don't even think he should be, sworn in as mayor. Because Yeah. I agree with you. I agree with you. It's no secret that The United States has been under a state of emergency since Lincoln. And under the War Powers Act, the president has the ultimate control over the country with even without, approval by Congress or Senate. So if Trump was actually had his head somewhere separate from his backside, which I'm not so sure is the case, all he would have to do is he would have to declare the requisites for any political f office, any public service office, to be the same as that of the highest position in the land, natural born citizen of The United States. Oh. Natural born citizen. He's not gonna do that.
That would eliminate all oh, that Omar would be gone. Cortez would be gone. Yeah. Everybody would Probably Everybody would be gone, and we'd go back to American people in politics working for the American people and not for the globalist.
[00:31:11] Unknown:
So Right. Well, Nancy Pelosi is gone. She just retired. That's good.
[00:31:16] Unknown:
Oh, that's good. She can went off.
[00:31:19] Unknown:
She's she's probably Where is she? Where is she at? She at California? Yeah. She's a California person. Yeah. She's probably camped out in her comfy easy chair surrounded by gourmet ice cream, trying to pick which flavor she's good to sample.
[00:31:35] Unknown:
Yeah. That sounds quite appealing, actually. I I have you got a number? I won't mind going over and Yeah. Hanging out with her for the gourmet ice cream. That sounds quite appealing, Paul. That's That's quite nice. That was that was the ridiculous stuff that was going on during COVID.
[00:31:48] Unknown:
I mean, she's in lockdown. I mean, people are hungry because they can't work. Right. And she is giving a tour of her, $10,000 refrigerator that is stocked with gourmet ice cream. I mean, only gourmet ice cream. It it was absolutely ridiculous. And then she went and got her hair done at a salon
[00:32:12] Unknown:
when everybody else Well, eating ice cream.
[00:32:16] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, she went and got her hair done at a salon. I don't even think she was wearing a mask. Everybody was locked down. Nobody it was essential personnel only, but getting Nancy's haircut was essential, apparently. Right. Yeah. I don't I you can't make this stuff up. Well, when you're
[00:32:35] Unknown:
when you're that humanly disfigured, you need, frequent changes of hairstyle.
[00:32:41] Unknown:
Yeah. I guess. No. Not even if you're distract people from the wrinkles.
[00:32:46] Unknown:
Right. There you
[00:32:48] Unknown:
go. So we should get a face lift anyway. That's why women have all these face creams they use all the time, which probably dry out your skin more than they do anything else.
[00:32:59] Unknown:
So, yeah, it's a What's been the Wait a minute. Wait a minute. What's been the kind of prescription the new Oh, sorry. I I would oh, I gotta share this. Go ahead.
[00:33:12] Unknown:
This is really exciting. It's
[00:33:14] Unknown:
no. It's it's a commercial. It's for a face cream. I don't remember what it's for a moisturizer.
[00:33:24] Unknown:
Okay.
[00:33:25] Unknown:
And they say one of the ingredients is hydrourea. Mhmm. And that's why it moisturizes so well.
[00:33:36] Unknown:
Urea. Is this another word? Yes. Yes. Yes. Alright. It's got this in it. They call it hydro urea.
[00:33:45] Unknown:
So, oh my god. I gotta get some of that.
[00:33:49] Unknown:
It's people are so ridiculous.
[00:33:51] Unknown:
Yeah. Right. You can ingest it too. Right? I'll just look it up for a word.
[00:34:00] Unknown:
That shows you how you react. Give me more of that.
[00:34:03] Unknown:
Oh, well, that reminder that I just read a post this morning about how the big pharma is changing the word vaccinate to some, some gibberish word that is just, alternative word. Maybe I can bring that up. Maybe there's an article about that that they're gonna stop using the word vaccinate, and they're gonna replace it with something, you know, totally vague. Vaccinate. Maybe I can yeah. There you go. Yeah. It's a if you if you're not, if you're not a member of the in crowd, you're hallucinating.
[00:34:41] Unknown:
Get your latest hallucination. Yeah. I don't know what are they gonna replace that? I still get my, I we still get reminders here on my well, I do. Anyway, I suppose everybody else does from my local GPs. Time for your flu shot. No, he isn't? Yeah. That's the one. Non stop. Non stop. But, yeah, I mean, we just interacting with that the whole edifice of the madness is not good for your health. It's it's just better to slope off. I I've mentioned before I had a a discussion with a doctor a few years ago about this and I said I I'm just going to die. Thank you very much. Okay? I don't care. I'm certainly gonna die with your vaccine inside me. So I'll just take the risk. Is that alright? You know, I'll just make my own decisions. Don't mind. I'll take the consequences.
Okay? But, they don't want that. They want to save you all the time. They're always they insist on saving you even though you don't ask for being saved. So it's it's part of the problem. Paul, I was just wondering, what's been the response anyway to the arrival of your new mayor? Is he yours, by the way? I suppose you probably think he's pretty good. No.
[00:35:44] Unknown:
No. He's not my mayor. He's, he's No. New York City mayor.
[00:35:49] Unknown:
Mhmm.
[00:35:51] Unknown:
I live I live in a small town five and a half hours away from there, so I'm I'm pretty much safe. And besides, everybody in Upstate And Central New York has always been petitioning for, New York, New York to be its own country or to be its own state. Right. I mean, we we've we we disavowed them
[00:36:13] Unknown:
a long time ago.
[00:36:16] Unknown:
Right. We we expatriated them. I mean We,
[00:36:21] Unknown:
You know how, in recent years, some of your sports teams have had to change their names because of them being portrayed as being offensive to American Indians? Like, I think the baseball team, the Cleveland Indians are now known as the Cleveland something or others nationals. I don't know what they're known as, but they're not the Indians anymore. And I'm assuming that's maybe possibly occurred in American football. Has there been anybody any talk now of changing the names again to reflect your the new master in New York? I mean, you know, I don't know what names I'm if I say them, they'll be very rude and and wrong and I'll get locked up. So I don't want to. But is there any chance that they're gonna change the names? I mean, maybe the New York Yankees needs to change their name to, I don't know, New York Hindus or something? What do you think? Wonkies. Oh, goddamn. Wonkies. I know. Honkies.
I don't know. It it's all after It's not all that far. Don't worry. I'll be coming down the line. You'll have all the joys of that to face in the years to come. It's absolutely bizarre. I mean, we've had it over we've got it going on over here. Nobody ever points out why these people are even allowed to be on the ballot. That's the main thing. They just shouldn't even be on the ballot. I mean, it's just it's a nonsense. But, we know who's pulling the strings. By the way, I've mentioned here before and, it's too long to play in total. It's about about fifteen minutes long. Although we played it earlier today on Soapbox.
I've mentioned here repeatedly the great little brief clip that Liz Truss recorded, about a year ago with, Steve Bannon. I think it was back in January 2024, so nearly two years ago now. And, she's just in an interview with a newspaper over here called the Daily Express and it's even better. I I was trying to get some clips for today's show, but I haven't been able to do that. But we might play some of them next week. These are sort of they don't really have a time stamp on them. They're gonna be relevant for a long time to come. The interview was, amusing in parts as the interviewer, not the sharpest knife in the drawer I have to say, came out with some blitheringly stupid sort of recommendations.
And at one point they were talking about the bank. You see, she's the only person in power that I'm aware of that ever addresses the issue of the central bank over here. And as you know, it's my it's the thing that I keep on alighting on. I'm going, we we sort this one out first then we'll find out what problems we actually do have. You don't sort that out, you're not sorting anything out. Anyway, they're talking about the governor of the Bank of England is a chap called Andrew Bailey And Truss is wonderfully dismissive of him, which I just thought was tremendous, basically.
But she was giving an insight into the political makeup of the governors of the Bank of England and of most of the heads of the civil service over here. And we also have these things over here called permanent secretaries and they are permanent. And there's about 30 odd of them, 30 plus. I can't remember the exact number. There's over 30, less than 40, I think. These guys and gals are basically ensconced for life in their positions and, of course, have never been elected and most of the public don't even know who they are. But she was repeatedly making the completely permanently useful point that the prime minister's not in charge. And and it's true and it's really got to be got across. Although Keir Starmer is, of course, the greatest freak ever to occupy Downing Street and he's a complete waste of space, and is an appalling sort of person to actually have him there, but a perfect actor for them. She points out repeatedly that he's not in charge and it's just a point that needs to be hammered on. Now when they were talking about the governor of the Bank of England, the interviewer said she said, you know, the question is do we have people who are democratically elected? Of course, I'm not into democracy either, but, you know, this is the least worst thing apparently.
Or do you have experts? And the guy said, experts. Interviewer said Right. We need experts that know about banking. And she said, ah, well, what you've just done there is you've revealed yourself as a globalist. And he starts laughing because he realizes that he has. I mean, it's mad. It's completely mad. And Bailey and all these other people, they are they're the ones that are causing the the immigration into the nation. They're the ones that are causing it. They're the ones that are giving the dictated orders to the political, actors to say these things.
When the actors want to do anything, they're just told you can't do it. These people, we need them exposed. We need their names and addresses. We wanna know everything about them. There needs to be an investigation. I hate that word because it's useless. But there needs to be awareness created about who these people actually are and why we haven't elected them, why they're taking decisions that are literally destroying our nation just like you've had, a mayor elected in New York who should not be there. Somebody higher up the food chain is obviously opening the gates, clearing the ways, and keeping any interference from that process well away by threats. The the politicians will be threatened in some way that they can't actually Yeah. You know, so the politicians can't represent you. So what's the point of voting for them? I mean, this is this is really the key thing. And, they even bring I think in the interview, they bring up Nigel Farage, and I mentioned it. Won't mind going for a beer with him. Don't want him anywhere near the levers of power. And she said it won't make any difference. It won't make any difference at all if he's in. In fact, it'll probably be worse because he's just gonna follow city orders more fluidly because he understands their language.
So this it's this cast of characters, whoever they ultimately may be, that need to be, the public needs to be made aware of them and we need to find a mechanism to have them not be in those roles. I mean, I think these people should set exams and the public should actually see, get, their exam papers. I'm quite serious. I mean, you know, if you've got morons literally or political ideologues, I mean they're not stupid, I've got that, right? But they're championing an ideology that literally no one in this country wants. We don't subscribe to it. We don't consent to it. Yet this doesn't seem to matter. So, you know, this is how the sort of national bullying process is being carried out here. And you've got something very similar going on on that side of the water as well. It's on a different scale. It's got different theatrics to it, but the substance is pretty much the same, it seems to me. That's that's really what's going on. Anymore.
[00:42:31] Unknown:
What we used to have is civil service exams. Anybody that wanted wanted a job in government had to take a civil service exam. They had to develop they had to demonstrate a certain level of intelligence and proficiency. Well, I don't think they did that anymore. I just don't. No.
[00:42:51] Unknown:
Yep.
[00:42:52] Unknown:
Why not? Well, here.
[00:42:54] Unknown:
Yeah. Well, here. I've got the answer. I've got the answer. What, these big cities, mainly democratic cities, are doing because they're all going bankrupt. And the only way they can ward off bankruptcy because they can't, like, the federal government, they can't and, the big banks who create their own money and pay their own way with the inflationary money, The cities can't do that. So but what what the next best thing they have is by importing all of these illegal aliens, they get a welfare check cut to the city, and then the city has all the money they need to disperse funds for all these newly, should we say naturalized, or is that not the correct word? Newly, settled, maybe?
[00:43:43] Unknown:
Newly re settled? That's newly injected into.
[00:43:47] Unknown:
Right? Yeah. Like a virus? Prospective virus is alien.
[00:43:51] Unknown:
To a to a people that they shouldn't be part of. Yeah. It's like it's like a fungus. Yeah. It's a big deal. Right. Like a like a fungus.
[00:44:00] Unknown:
A humongous, but also humongous. That's that's what it is. Right. Fungus. Oh, that's a good song. Have you ever heard that song? There's a fungus among us. We got static in the attic. You should play that song. Anyway, this is the strategy used by the Democrats and, you know, whether it's a sanctuary mayor like, or or governor like Pritzker in Illinois or mayor, you know, because we had a whole bunch of sanctuary mayors in Chicago for it's going on thirty years now. And this is how they get their money from it. It's not a direct, let's fund illegal immigrants, but that's the way it works. Okay? And it probably works that way in England too and all the other countries of Europe that have a illegal immigration problem.
[00:44:47] Unknown:
Yep. Okay. Well, one of the one of the words that trust goes on to make, and I'm only saying this, although it applies to England, it'll be equally applicable to you, in fact, possibly more so. She was talking about the Conservative party who used to be the party that was in power prior to the current incumbent. You can call it insert phrase, but if you want there.
[00:45:08] Unknown:
Right.
[00:45:09] Unknown:
Is that In the incumbents. A very large percentage of the elected MPs support this, what's taking place to the nation. Why? Because it's lining their pockets with money. That's how low a level of moral and ethical behavior you've got in that pit of rats. They're Okay. It's just they're not fit for leadership. What they're involved in is an abusership. They're just abusing their position. And they're standing in the way, you know.
[00:45:42] Unknown:
Paul and Paul, which biblical character does this remind you of?
[00:45:49] Unknown:
Which bit? Someone standing in the way?
[00:45:53] Unknown:
No. No. Who who is a a traitor to his own people for whatever. His name begins with e. Oh. Oh, that that's well, he came later. He became later. Yeah. How about Jacob's brother, the race trader
[00:46:10] Unknown:
This is true. Yep. Esau. Right?
[00:46:14] Unknown:
These people are all imitating Esau by being traitors to their own race by lining their potty pockets and acting like mister big shot wherever they go. Yep. At our expense.
[00:46:28] Unknown:
Absolutely. Yeah. It is I mean Is it simple? It's an yeah. Liz someone's written in the in the comments that Liz Truss is underrated. And she is very much so. I I well, she is. The thing is, she was mocked and pilloried more than this oath that Xin has ever been. She was only about forty seven days and everybody likes to go, oh, that idiot with her stupid economic plans. Anybody that makes that comment hasn't studied them. And even if they did, they wouldn't understand what they mean. And this is why she needs more airtime, really. I mean, I'm glad she's not in politics. And it's not as if I'm a big Liz Truss supporter. That's not what I'm saying. It's just that when you hear truth from anybody you need to encourage more of it. And she said more, as I've said, than anybody I know of in recent living memory over here with pointing to the real problem area. I mean, they talk about I can't remember. We've got Rachel Reeves. Right? There's a woman called Rachel Reeves. Rachel in accounts she's been mocked at. She's coming up with the most ludicrous economic policies. They're just nuts. They're taxing everybody. They're doing all this. And and as Truss points out, she said, it's not her plan.
The people that run the government, the Bank of England, same thing, the real government, they're all Keynesian economists. They believe in tax and spend. And because that's what Keynes was all about. Just keep taxing everybody, spend it, we'll have big infrastructure projects, it'll all work out. No, it won't. It doesn't. It never has. I mean, traditionally over here, and I guess it's similar to between your sort of Republicans and Democrats, although it's the the line's faded so much between all the parties. We've just got the the uni party now and have had it now for fifteen, twenty years, is that the Conservatives had a reputation for being fiscally responsible and restrictive, I. E. Not spend spend spend spend and sought to encourage private enterprise, which we'd all go along with. And the Labour Party being a socialist thing have always whacked up taxes and we're gonna, do all these things because we're all in it together. And of course the Labour thing has has always left the most terrible account book for the Conservative party to pick up. Now those roles used to be like that maybe forty years ago. It's not been like that for a long time, unfortunately. They're just basically singing from the same hymn sheet. But if you've got the people who are managing the banking system for your nation, willfully pushing an ideology of tax and spend, of allowing immigrants in to assist their mates in business to get, workers at low wage rates. That's what this is all about, all of these sorts of things.
You've got really organized treason And that's what it is, this is organized treason. And, speaking of which, yesterday, was remember remember the November 5, which is a big deal over here, where we celebrate. The official story is that we're celebrating the unsuccessful attempt of Guido Forks, Guy Forks, to blow up the houses of parliament. Of course, it's morphed in recent times. People actually go out to firework displays to talk about how it actually really could get the task completed. And, yesterday yesterday down here, there was a big firework display off the pier and I haven't been for a few years and so my son said, come on. Let's walk down and go out. It was a beautiful evening. Full moon, really mild, no rain, clear skies, great night for burning 10,000 pounds worth of fireworks or whatever they spent. I don't mind. Huge crowd. Massive crowd.
Generally good natured. In fact, very good natured all the way. We walked back along the sea, waves crashing around my feet. It was all really rather beautiful actually on a November evening. It was good. As we got back nearer to the house, there's a neighbor of mine who I see every now and again walking across on the other side of the road. So I end up talking to her about it. I said, have you have you had a nice time with the fireworks? You know, we're sort of sending you she said, oh, it was lovely, wasn't it? Because everybody goes oh and ah, you know what it's like with firework displays, but it is over here. And, she said, you know, we just got around to talking about it. She said, well it's a pity he wasn't successful.
Geez, I didn't have to say anything. And I said, oh I don't think I could go along with that madam, that's outrageous. She starts laughing of course, I'm sending her up a bit. I said that's a shocking thing to say about all those honest hard working people up there who've got the nation's interest at heart. She said yes they do don't they? It was wonderfully English sarcastic conversation. We were being extremely ironic with one another. It was great. But that is the sentiment. There's a lot of it around. Yeah. It's quite natural. Yeah. Because it's very simple. People were just being treated with extreme rudeness and being dismissed by organized treason. So treason, Blair changed the law book so that you couldn't be hung for treason. But, that's Tony Blair. He's just a bloke who turned up and just had a job as an actor. He didn't mean no as far as I'm concerned.
These people are destroying our nation. There's no two ways about it. Absolutely no two ways about it. Yeah. Because they're making money doing it. Yeah. Yep. Who who might be paying them?
[00:51:29] Unknown:
Who might be creating money out of nothing to bribe all of these politicians to be traitors to their own people?
[00:51:38] Unknown:
Well, I do. Which which
[00:51:40] Unknown:
okay.
[00:51:41] Unknown:
But you're you're a banking specialist. We could we could speculate. I mean, the one I mean, one of my well, I do, but I don't really, that we don't need to really plunge into that one because I think Yeah. Well, even if you were to get hold of all the people that you thought were doing it, the real challenge is how do you actually cut out the disease? And it Right. You know, I do I do spend I waste brain cycles thinking about this from time to time, thinking what would be the pragmatic challenges of doing it? Has it ever been done before? How was it done? Yes. It has been done before. How was it done? It required democratic votes and overwhelming majorities and a little bit of elbow grease, I e toughness, I e physical violence was required in nearly all instances to part these people from the the seats that they currently occupy.
And of course, we're dealing with such a mature, sophisticated surveillance system and all this, that and the other, that it's as if, you know, we're like wrapped up by a boa constrictor. It's not good. It's not good. But I still think it's worth Starting to hurt.
[00:52:47] Unknown:
Yep. Absolutely. It's starting to hurt. Oh, here's a good headline for you. Woman fatally shot after arriving at wrong address for cleaning job. Can you, well, she is a a Mexican, probably doesn't speak English. Right. That's the chances you take, and this is what happens when you import illegal aliens who can't even speak the language of the country they're invading.
[00:53:12] Unknown:
Well, they're not really invade I mean, I know I mean, they use that phrase over here invaders, but they're not, are they? They haven't planned the invasion. They haven't executed it. They haven't even paid for it. They haven't even there's no you know, it's designed to create the Rook by this other force in the background. Yeah. Yeah. I'll tell you why he's encouraging Eli. I mean, I do spend a bit of time on X and and I've mentioned it last week. Many of the posts on X, the intensity of the criticism is going up and being left unchecked, which is good. And also the responses on many of the threads are the bulk of them are excellent. I mean, you only have to get one idiot remark in there.
And it used to be the other way around. Right? You just get all this wokest claptrap from sort of lovey dovey types who are obviously, you know, immature, basically insane as far as I'm concerned. They're not sane people. They haven't got sane things to say. It's very much the other way around. So when you see one of these stupid let's love everybody type comments and, migrants are a great asset to the country, they get hammered with all these responses but in a very sort of English way. Very sort of polite, which is the best way to do it. But pointing out to these people that they're just, you know, please, you know, explain yourself what do you possibly mean? And I think there's a story missing, you see. I think there is a positive story to be told here or at least one that's not so negative, which is that there is an arrangement for peoples that would work for all peoples and it does include respect and it does include all the things that they want but it means everybody stays at home.
That's the bottom line. It means the vast majority of people stay in their ancient cultural homelands. I'm always banging on about this but it's worth banging on about because it's true, you know, because most of the solutions that we hear are to solve the problem now on the ground and make it better. This is not a solution at all. It can't be made better. The the problem is the location of huge numbers of people who understandably want to live life the way that they want to live it and they're entitled to do that. They're just not entitled to do it in my home without my consent and I never gave it and it's been assumed somehow that we did and that's where the violence is. It's a violent situation by our own government, supposedly, against us. They're the perpetrators of this and I think that penny is dropping now with more and more people. You're seeing more people say it's the government itself that is the very problem. Yes, at last, we're getting there. So don't start casting votes.
Yeah, we're getting somewhere. We are. I want to play a little clip here. It's only a couple of minutes long. It's from a thirty five minute interview which is for me was absolutely brilliant. A brilliant clip. A guy called Robin, let me just get his name right, Robin Pickett. Robin Pickett. Somebody kindly posted this on the Telegram group the other week, shout out to that, that was fantastic. I went off and this is just a two minute clip, and I went and listened to the full thirty five minute interview. But this is an Englishman, a a proper one, right, speaking out just ask answering a lot of questions. It was filmed just in front of, the houses of parliament. It's quite recent. Just get your logos around this because this is quite good for a couple of minutes. This just gives you a flavor of it. Because That's what it seems like. It seems like racist equals white
[00:56:30] Unknown:
because no black man can be racist to me. If it if if I criticize a Jew, I'm an anti sem semi. If I criticize an Islamic, I'm an Islamophobe. What are you if you criticize me? What are you if you try and replace me? What are you if you try and tell me I'm wrong for wanting to protect my children? Apparently, you're a perfectly reasonable person. But I'm a racist for wanting to protect my future. No. Bullshit. I totally disco I don't accept the 14 words as a thing. I think it's ridiculous that anyone could even say that they own this concept as every human thinks this thing.
Black people go on and on and on about black. Asians, Indians will tell you that India is the best at this, the in this is Indian, that's Indian, everything's brilliant that is Indian. Good for you! You love your people! I'm glad for you! I love mine! Head off. So don't call me on a racist just because you don't like the word white. If you don't like the word white, maybe you shouldn't live in a white country. Like, really. If you don't like white people, go away. White people live here. But I'm really I'll be honest. I'm really sick of it. I'm sick of us being exceptionalised. This is happening every western country. What we used to call Christendom is under attack by its own people, by its own elite.
And we're supposed to just sit here and be arrested for having an opinion. No. No. I'm not a racist because I'm white. I'm a racist because I'm a human. Every human is racist. It's normal to love your own people more than you love other people. It's normal. The creation of the word racist doesn't suddenly make me an evil person. It's a concept. It's not even a real thing. It's called in group bias and out group bias. It's genetics. It's frustrating, to be honest, that these questions even exist.
[00:58:24] Unknown:
Robin for you. I think that's absolutely that's just a short clip. The the rest of it is just as good. He's absolutely he nails things as an English layman would. He's a carpenter. Right? And we know some of the guys that were carpenters. They turned out to be pretty cool too. Yeah. It's fantastic. Well, apparently, he's been interviewed before, but the way that he puts it across is exactly the way that many, many English ears can hear it. So when you've got people like Tommy Robinson and this, that, and the other, that's no good. For me it's no good.
What it is is part there's a subtle sort of agitation via taking place. All that we've got to sort this out by this no no no no no we it'll it'll never get sorted out like that. The simple truth is that you know we are we're exceptionalized And all of these things are just being applied to us and only to us. And and this penny, when it drops and it's dropping faster and this is why they're pushing things quicker and quicker, they won't be able to contain it because they shouldn't be able to contain it. And this is just nature through the people kicking back. It's encouraged listening to him. Seriously, I I just had this massive smile. The whole thirty seven minute thing, we're gonna start playing it regularly on Soapbox because it's just a brilliant interview. It's It's only been listened to by a couple of thousand people, of course, at the moment, but I need to publicize it more. It's just I just think it's spot on. The guys in the street, there's a lot of guys in the street, are sharp as razors and know exactly what's going on. It's just a matter of mustering these voices together into one sort of choir and getting it going. And one of the things that Liz Truss was talking about in the interview, I know this is old kind of stuff, but she was talking about media and she said the main problem we've got and I, you know, we say it here, it's not that we don't know the truth, it's that we don't have a big enough media mouthpiece to project it out on such a scale that it begins to be absorbed more rapidly by a huge number of people to change the tone of people's thinking.
And we've got it, you know, the ones that get scared, are you gonna do violence and all this? And we know we're not. That's what we're trying to avoid. It's the other side that are saying peace, peace, peace that are causing all the friction. It's mad. As you know, it's absolutely mad and I'm exhausted with it as well. It's completely mad. It really is.
[01:00:39] Unknown:
Okay. Alright. Oh, okay. Eric said in the chat room have changed, but somebody named Chris says, thanks, Eli. I've changed browsers.
[01:00:50] Unknown:
It seems to be Well, Eric, you're back in the studio. Are you with us? Are you back in the studio? I'm back. I'm Oh, yeah. I've I've managed to get on. I've come off the,
[01:00:59] Unknown:
Chrome, and I'm on some this Microsoft thing, and it seems to be working. I do apologize. Really? I've changed computers, and I've also I've also rebooted my, and I feel like booting it, my router. And my computer's been running slow all this week, so I think the problem is the router. Well, listen. Gotta upgrade it yourself a lot of everybody. I can't actually get into chat because the computer is just not powerful enough. So I'm just about the end of this.
[01:01:28] Unknown:
So somebody sent the withering comment, Eric, in one of the chats that Windows. Yeah. I I I I've gone back to the You're a boomerang. I see. And you don't understand technology, isn't it? Wouldn't wouldn't wouldn't hack it. Yeah. So I'm I'm I'm using the old one. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Hey. Well, look. We're at the top of the hour. We play a song at this point, so we're gonna do it. I'm gonna play two songs, actually. How about that? They're all about walking. Oh. Two songs. Yeah. They're all about walking. They're fiddle tunes. They're blue cross tunes because I'm gonna enter this at the moment. You they'll say, well, the first one's called Walking Out one Morning by one band, and the second song is called Walking After Midnight. So we cover the whole day. We're gonna be back with you in about four or five minutes after these couple of songs. Here we go.
[01:04:25] Unknown:
One, two, three, four. I go out walking after midnight, out in the moonlight, just like we used to do. I go out walking after midnight searching for you. I walk for miles out on the highway. Well, that's just my way of saying I love you. You're out walking after midnight searching for me. Stop to see a weeping Willow crying on his pillow. Maybe he's crying for me. I go out walking after midnight, out in the moonlight, just hoping maybe. You're out walking after midnight searching for me.
[01:07:09] Unknown:
The Walking Songs. How about that? That last one was Walking After Midnight by the Locust Honey String Band. And the first song was Walking Out one Morning by the New Mules. Where do I get this stuff?
[01:07:23] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. You're digging it at the bottom of the barrel.
[01:07:27] Unknown:
Yeah. It's a nice barrel though. I'm kind of they're nice. They're good. I know they're different. We need ears, but we we try to bring you something different and refreshing and not just rock music all the time. We don't want to be doing that all the time, do we? So there you go. So when you go walking, if you want those walking, sometimes we'll we'll have to make them available. They're quite sweet, I thought. I quite like them. Yeah. The only thing you're gonna find if you go out walking after midnight is trouble. Well, it depends where, I suppose. You might be right. You might be right. It depends where you are. There's a Patsy
[01:07:58] Unknown:
there's a Patsy Cline version of that. She is a big hit for her. Yeah. And, well, I'll send it to you. I don't know if you if I play it on this end, will you hear it on your end?
[01:08:11] Unknown:
No. We don't wanna do that. I'm I'm a stickler for good audio quality. No. We won't do that. But,
[01:08:17] Unknown:
I'm trying to stop it.
[01:08:19] Unknown:
Yeah. If everybody's got any more I'm sure there's some more walking songs, aren't there? There's gotta be other songs with the word walking.
[01:08:25] Unknown:
So if you've got any walks, it's just gonna be about the second break. What's that, Eric? Sorry? Sorry. It used to be it used to be a national sport, especially in America, where people would long distance. And that was in the Oh, day? Period. Well, I don't know about overnight, but during the day by the way, I've just found out there's been an Internet outage in my area. So that's the reason why it was an. So that's the reason why. Sorry. That's that's, it's still a bit slow, but it's it's it's getting there. But, apparently, there's Well, we can hear you okay now. Are you hearing all those okay? Yeah. There's a there's a major shutdown. Apparently, there's a major breakdown in this area. So that's the reason why Yeah. We can expect is up. So We can expect more of that. I still
[01:09:12] Unknown:
We can expect Yeah. Now he just disappeared again. Are you there? No. He's in. He's working now. Just. Oh, okay. Alright. Okay. Well, here, the the reason that that just. But I can't I can't get into any, Yeah. Your microphone just sort of dropped. Microphone's
[01:09:29] Unknown:
gone a bit quiet. Things. Your microphone's gone a bit quiet, Eric. You know it sometimes does that. Okay.
[01:09:36] Unknown:
I'll I'll deal with that. Just yeah. It does that. Yeah. I think it might be something to do there. I'm I'm seeing to it right now as we speak. Okay?
[01:09:45] Unknown:
Okay. But, the main reason I called in today Right. Was to talk about World War three.
[01:09:51] Unknown:
Okay? Well, I think I think we can talk about World War three now. I think we've probably been talking about World War three for the whole time, really. Well, yeah. Exactly. But there's obviously some aspect you wanna talk about. So, I'll start with the boots now, shall I? Yeah.
[01:10:08] Unknown:
Yeah. We have been dealing with the covert aspect of World War three, which I pretty much assigned to when, COVID sorry. COVID and covert are are are nice, you know, see learners there, a a nice alliteration. And, you know, because that's how they here here's the bottom line. Let me just preface it this way. The the internationalist, the globalist, and the doctors and the mad scientists have, been promoting this global depopulation scam. Okay? And they've been doing it in myriad ways. COVID is just one of them. And, you know, giving us drugs to pharmakeia, people are killing us in various by what various means.
All the means under the sun, they can use to kill us or put turn us into zombies by which we can don't know where we're going and we walk off a cliff or get run over by a car, which almost happened to me when I was in London about, what, in in 2014 because I I failed. I looked in the wrong direction, looked in the wrong direction, stepping off the curb. Right? And, and then all of a sudden, a guy slams on his brake and I hear this, oh, wait a minute. I looked in the wrong direction and I almost got run over. Okay? Yeah. So but, this is this is this is going on worldwide and guess which, which is the most, popular means by which the globalists are murdering us. They're not exactly murdering us. They're preventing birth, and that is feminism.
Feminism is the major tech tactic by which they're preventing white people from giving birth to children.
[01:11:46] Unknown:
Do you understand why? Well, you know, it's interesting you bring that up because we Monica was on, a couple of weeks ago or was it last week? Couple of weeks. No. It was last week. I think we Monica was on last week. It was, looking at it. Yeah it was. Yeah that she's she's on the last Thursday of every month and we were talking about that very topic. And she's she's actually sent me a message, in the week. I can read it to you because it was quite fun. She said, she says, 'Paul', she says, my goodness, us talking about feminism, this is in the show last week, wow' she says, 'has this topic ever struck a chord with a lot of people? I have heard from so many people.' Then she writes, 'actually I should say just men not people because I'm only I'm only hearing hearing from men. Anyway, a chap had sent it says sent me an article that he wrote and said, could I pass it on to you for your interest? And and she has done. It's on, I'll put the link up in the chat for those that are interested in this. It's, I haven't read the whole thing. Let me just copy the link and I'll I'll whack it in.
But it appeared on uns.com and it's called it's got a great title, Attack of the Cat Ladies. Attack of the Cat Ladies. And it really taps into this problem, with not the the sexes are not being complementary to one another to the degree that we would like. There's definitely much complementariness taking place, I'm aware of it, in certain areas and quarters we just want to see a lot more of it, because we are gonna have to stand together and act as nature intended as a complementary agency to one another, to create a much stronger ability to repel, this infection that's that's sweeping the West, unfortunately, you know, the destruction of our nations. Right. So yeah. Yeah. It's a broad sweep. So, people need to keep that in mind.
[01:13:35] Unknown:
Lesbianism Something up in the bedroom. Hang on. Yeah. I'm Yeah. That's my phone. I have to there we go. It stopped ringing. Let me put it aside. So, that's just one aspect. Everything that the internationalists are doing is to prevent us from, having babies. And feminism, that's the real purpose of feminism. You probably had the, movie by, Aaron Russo where he was interviewed Yeah. By by, one of the Rockefellers. And he says, why are you creating feminism? Mayor Russo asked. Well, because we wanna have, more income. That way, the women will go to work and we can tax them and tax the men too. And so then he he began to realize this is a conspiracy. Right? So all these things, man hatred by feminists is causing women, those women in particular, to not not want to mate.
Okay? So you see, this is the actual plan. Okay? Makes sense makes sense to you guys?
[01:14:36] Unknown:
Well, we were yeah. Absolutely. I mean, I I I because I was doing a bit of research on the topic last week, you know how the algorithm in YouTube or wherever you go starts to bomb you with whatever you've been recently searching but I've been getting loads and loads of videos through from both men and women, commenting about this. Now some of them are from the point of view of dating. Advice like, don't date these type of women. Don't date these type of men. This is the problem. This and okay. And that's useful up to a point. But many are also addressing, the fallout from this. There seems to be I mean, maybe this is just the algorithm that I've got. It's just picking these things for me, you know, to butter me up. I'm so suspicious of all these things. But, the, many of them are from women that are now solo in their early thirties. Right. Right. And, and are expressing according to these videos, right, I mean maybe they've discovered they get a lot of hits so they make more money. I can't help it. I'm just sick of those things, I'm afraid. Regret. But they are.
They are. And many of them are very articulate. They're saying some really Yes. Some very interesting things. Former feminists. Yes. Yeah. Very much. Right? Very much.
[01:15:53] Unknown:
So people are waking up in myriad ways. That's a good thing. So and here, the question I have for all of you present, whenever the globalists, begin to realize that their program is beginning to fail, what do
[01:16:10] Unknown:
they do? I don't know either. What do they do?
[01:16:15] Unknown:
They have another war. Have a war.
[01:16:18] Unknown:
That's right. Yeah. Yes, friends. It's war time.
[01:16:21] Unknown:
Yes. Take your pardon, please, for World War three.
[01:16:25] Unknown:
Yeah. There you go. Eli, I've got another first part, but I think we're picking up a bit of echo from your headphones. It's going back into the mic. We've got something like that. There's something coming back through. It wasn't there before, but it's seen it's just appeared recently. Yeah? Oh, are you sure it's my mic? Because I haven't changed anything.
[01:16:44] Unknown:
Eric Oh, that yeah. No. I hear it. I hear it now.
[01:16:48] Unknown:
It is The smoke is really hot. Is it?
[01:16:52] Unknown:
Yeah. Eric, pull Who's Mike? Bring your mic bring your mic down a little bit. That might that might be where the Okay. Where the echo's coming. Okay, mate. I'll I'll I'll bring it back. I'll bring it down. Oh, good lord. It's huge. Yeah.
[01:17:05] Unknown:
But here's what's going on. I just sent a real quick nutshell for y'all
[01:17:09] Unknown:
since I'm going to silence. On. This is really getting unlistenable. Just a minute. We gotta phone things like that.
[01:17:15] Unknown:
Okay. Is it coming from me or not? I don't hear it anymore. It's just it it We don't have it in the background.
[01:17:24] Unknown:
No. It's Okay. It sounds good. We just had a war with I've I've I've I've turned it down. I've just turned it down. Okay. Microphone okay now, Paul. Yeah. That's Yeah. You're fine. Yeah. Mate? That's much better. You gotta use a headset. You gotta use a headset. Not a a speaker, you know. Sweet. Okay.
[01:17:40] Unknown:
That's that's the standard rule around here.
[01:17:45] Unknown:
Okay. But here's what's going on. I've got an old I've got an old HMV, yeah.
[01:17:52] Unknown:
Yeah? Is that a brand? HMV? Okay. And here's what's going on. In in a quick real quick nutshell an old, my my like, a trumpet thing.
[01:18:03] Unknown:
Oh, okay. Trumpet thing? Yep. Oh. I think I Ear tweaks. We've got you on a massive lag.
[01:18:12] Unknown:
Oh, now the lag is coming. It's his Internet. It's really lagging. Yeah. It says Internet. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, here, let me just say what I have to say, and and then I'm gonna have to bow out to the person calling me is in distress. But here's what's going on. It has all to do with Venezuela. Okay? Trump has been blowing up, speedboats in The Caribbean claiming that their, drug boat's coming from Venezuela. However, that's not possible because Venezuela only accounts for maybe five to 10 of all of the cocaine traffic in The Caribbean. The vast majority is coming from Colombia and Mexico.
Mexico is the number one importer of, you know, cocaine into America. So it has nothing to do with drugs in Venezuela. What it does have to do with is oil. Oil that which is being sold by Venezuela to China and Russia. Okay? So he's gotta have some kind of oil. Yep. But there's a largest hold of oil in the world in Venezuela. Okay? And because their biggest customers are China and Russia, Trump has to do something about it, and that's he's grandstanding. And actually and these people these boats are in international waters. They're not in US waters. They're international waters. So he's violating international law. He's violating all kinds of, you know, human rights blah blah blah. Okay? So but he doesn't care about that. He wants to keep on doing business with with the the the Juno Whos. So it's obvious being instructed to do this, but that that that risks going to war with China and Russia.
And the the the war pigs in America are saying, that's that's fine. So we can do that. Okay? So keep your eye on Venezuela, and he's sending aircraft carriers down there. Mhmm. This is major major saber rattling. Okay? Okay. I'll I'll just, I'll just stay around for a few more minutes just to see your comments or hear your comments. Okay? Sir, back to you guys.
[01:20:29] Unknown:
I'm has this been covered much in the media, Eli? The Venezuelan thing? I haven't seen much No. About it at all. No. No. No. No. This is a new development. There are some YouTube videos about this, but it's very recent, very recent.
[01:20:41] Unknown:
And so the question is why is Trump getting ready to attack Venezuela? Google that and you'll probably get, you know, the answer I just gave you. Okay?
[01:20:52] Unknown:
Right. Yeah.
[01:20:53] Unknown:
It may turn into World War three because, and you guys asked the answer to write the question correctly. Whenever they get in trouble, they're losing their grip, they have to provide a distraction with another word. Whether it's serious or whether it's just another distraction, because this is how Clinton operated the White House. Remember? When it when he was in trouble with all the women accusing him of raping them. Oh, yes. The war in Serbia started. Right? Remember this, guys? Okay. That's their modus operandi. And that's what now the problem here is Venezuela has a huge military.
Right? Has a huge military. And, they could take this war seriously, and I'm sure they might. You know? So this this really could escalate beyond their comprehension. And so get ready, folks.
[01:21:43] Unknown:
Get ready. Okay? Do you think Eli is also a good cover for the fact that he's still not released the Epstein files, which he Oh, yeah. There you go. But he hasn't done it. Yeah. Oh, what a surprise. He hasn't done it.
[01:21:58] Unknown:
Yeah. You know? And you have all these photographs of Epstein and Trump and, who else? At Mar A Lago of all places. Right? Prince Andrew. And that which Trump owned. Yeah. Prince Andrew. Right? Mar A Lago. And then we're not haven't even talked about the, Epstein Island. Right? So, yeah, Trump said, oh, am I on those, Epstein files? Really? Playing innocent Patsy, right, which he clearly was not. And the number one customer was Bill Clinton.
[01:22:31] Unknown:
Well, I never. I'm shocked, Eli. I am frankly shocked. I thought they were all honorable decent people who spoke the truth. It's shocking, isn't it? So Right. Isn't it? Did Trump interrupt someone, one of his press secretaries? I I'm I'm a bit vague on this. Who was
[01:22:45] Unknown:
talking about
[01:22:47] Unknown:
well, one of the people talking about releasing these Epstein files and didn't he interrupt her or something said, we're not doing that. Is there some incident recently along those lines? I'm not completely up to speed, but I'd heard from someone that that's what had happened.
[01:23:00] Unknown:
That he just Yeah. Sort of cut her off mid sentence. You're not gonna do that when it must have been prearranged to do it or something. I don't Yeah. No. This is Pam Bondi. I saw that. I saw that. Alright. She was gonna talk about the FC files and she no. No. We're not talking about that today. And so she shut up. Right. Because that that's what he hired her for. You're gonna oh, wait a minute. I forgot. I'm I'm Epstein's best customer. Right? So yeah. That's what that is. So they need a major distraction. And that's so I hope it doesn't escalate from distraction to actually World War three, but you never know about these things.
[01:23:37] Unknown:
Right? You never know. I've got No. I've got a good distraction for them. Okay. Venezuela Uh-huh. Could send a team, wipe out the Trump Hotel, Trump Tower in New York,
[01:23:52] Unknown:
and take out the Florida weather while they're at it.
[01:23:56] Unknown:
There you go. There you go. Just take out the island.
[01:24:00] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah.
[01:24:02] Unknown:
Anything's fine. I would say, Eli, that we've been in World War three since 1945, really. It's just been organized in a different sort of way. I don't know whether they'll ever go overt like they did before with huge massed armies blowing each other. They've come up with much more cunning ways to wipe people out. So it's a much more of a literally a covert approach to undermining things. I mean I I I'm of the view that the people at least trying to find, addressing the key sort of bottlenecks in all of this, which as I said for me is the bank always, nearly always it's the bank and all the people that swarm around it like flies, you know, lapping up all the all the bounty. Those are the people that we've got to find a way of getting to.
And in the interim, just unifying over here as Englishmen and as Scotsmen and as Welshmen and men and women of Northern Ireland and Ireland. That's what we have to do here and it is happening. Yeah. And you know what?
[01:24:56] Unknown:
Emmy, Paul, there's another distraction that needs to be taken care of. That is all the Irish, English, Germans, Italians, rioting and Frenchmen rioting in their cities because they're not liking immigration policy. Well, how about if we just draft all those protesters and make them warriors for the deep state?
[01:25:19] Unknown:
Which ones? The ones that are protesting? Yeah. I don't follow you. But they're on our side.
[01:25:25] Unknown:
They're on our side, but who's who's gonna draft them? Not us. The the deep state is gonna draft them for for war. Are you are you you're not understanding what I'm saying?
[01:25:36] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Yeah. What they would target them from the marches and then sort of do something with them. That's right.
[01:25:43] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. It's like what what they call when the British were, kidnapping American soldiers off of American ships. What was that, what did they call that? Fun? Yeah. Right. It was fun for the British, but not for the Americans. Press ganging. Press ganged. Yeah. Impressment. Impressment.
[01:26:02] Unknown:
That's right. It was the press ganging. I mean, they did it if there's any consolation, they did it to English and the Scots and the Irish on their home shores as well. Oh, yeah. Their own people. You know? Yeah. Yeah. Their own people. Right?
[01:26:12] Unknown:
Okay. Yeah. But now the all the world is ruled by the bakers, from The Hague and from United Nations building, etcetera, etcetera. So they can do that. And the is Edomites in the literal Edomites and the Esau type race traders will be fully behind it. Okay?
[01:26:33] Unknown:
So They're too far in to come out, aren't they? They're too That's right. Enrolled in the plot to be able to come out of it at all. They really are. But I I think the There's a plot of changes. Yeah. I mean, I'm just, we have to over here, we have to cut our verbal cloth to suit as you well know. I think it's a sensible approach and I actually I'm not sort of so discouraged by that as I was when I realized that we would have to do that because, we're finding other ways to communicate it. And in fact, a softer approach, I think, could be much more effective. A drip drip approach.
We need to increase the frequency of the drips. But, you know, people have been raised on the idea that we march and everybody starts shouting and we go French revolution. That we're not gonna do that. That's not gonna happen. It wouldn't be effective either because it would just give them all the causative reasons that they want to actually press down on it even more. And and when things like that happen, everybody gets alarmed. People don't think straight and you get a terrible mess. It's not sort of like in a movie. Right. It's just a complete mess like the French Revolution was. It's just awful. It's a terrible thing, because there's no sense in most of it. There's literally it's just a senseless waging of violence all over the place.
Loads of people die and nobody knows why afterwards when they've all recovered, they go, what was that all about, guy? I don't know. Your blood rushed to your head. You weren't thinking straight. But you know that that's that's part of the process to get people to not think straight. But I think there's a lot of straight thinking taking place. Absolutely. A lot. Absolutely.
[01:28:03] Unknown:
But one other thing about Ma'am Downey, Ma'am Downey, the new mayor the Muslim mayor of New York, he swear he swore that he would uphold his what's the BDS? Boycott Israel? Divest. Is that Yeah. Yeah. Did he? Divestment. Mhmm. He swore he would support divestment. Yeah. But I I have found out that there's a a circle of rabbis who actually, you know, work to get him elected. And so I I'm sure he's lying about that. And then once he's installed as the mayor of New York, I'm I'm not sure. He won the election. I don't know when he actually takes office, and I'm sure that's what's gonna happen. He's gonna he's gonna betray the left. Okay. Okay. Hello? Alright, you guys. Venezuela.
I got it. Venezuela. Venezuela. Alright. Alright. Now, hello. Take care. Keep on being conspiratologist.
[01:28:55] Unknown:
Take care. Bye bye. You, Eli. Thanks, Eli. Bye for now. Thanks for stopping by. Bye. Eli James. You can catch Eli every Sunday on Soapbox and Eurofolk Radio at 3PM UK time with Bloodlines. Very interesting show. It was very interesting last week because I was on it. It was super interesting and all that kind of stuff. So yeah, Eli there. Eric, are you now sort of tooled up? Oh, he's, he's off the oh. I hope I'm okay. Yes.
[01:29:23] Unknown:
You are? I'm still here. I'm speaking away. Can you hear me? Am I out sick?
[01:29:28] Unknown:
Yeah. No. You're not. You're not. You're not. You're not. Who are? Yeah. We hear you just fine. That's good. So
[01:29:34] Unknown:
oh, that's brilliant. I've turned my microphone down a bit. I've been a good boy. And apparently, I've looked it up. It was a major breakdown in in in in my area of Internet. So that's that's the reason it went funny earlier. So things are working. It wasn't the computer. It wasn't my rauster. It was, I'm pleased pleased to say, you know. So there we go. But, anyway, we're all up and running. He's he's on a rack around. Does he come back? Or No. I've sent him an email.
[01:30:04] Unknown:
I've sent him an email. So I don't know. I mean, if you can get a message through to him, but he's welcome to come back in and join us. I just sent I said he can step in now and join us. So
[01:30:14] Unknown:
Yeah. Yes. Hey, Eric. Or perhaps we should start talking about buses. Yep?
[01:30:20] Unknown:
Eric, not not to belabor the technical issue. When you first came on, you were okay. And then, when you came back, you were super loud, and now you're a shade quiet. Can you pick, like, somewhere in the middle? That's true. That's true. Alright? Just pick somewhere in the middle, and a little bit will go a long way. Don't don't go nuts on it. Just
[01:30:43] Unknown:
a I think I how's that? How's that? Is that better? Yeah. But we've got that echo coming in. Eric, are you listening to the show through speakers speakers? No. I've got my headphones on, and I got I'm always looking through your microphone. Alright. How's that, Paul? Is that alright?
[01:31:01] Unknown:
I've I've I've put my microphone up a touch.
[01:31:04] Unknown:
Right? Yep. No. You're good. You're good right there. You're good right there. You don't you don't need any more gain. And, yes, I actually do have speakers on because I had to unplug my headphones, otherwise my speakers weren't working. So We found the culprit, Eric. We found the culprit. Yes. Oh, I don't know. Well, that's okay. I just turned my I just turned my noise gate up and my speakers down. We'll be fine.
[01:31:29] Unknown:
Has, has your cat come back? Yeah. Is your pussycat come back? Or is it, the front that might say something about Reubosh?
[01:31:37] Unknown:
Oh, no. Reubosh. My kitty Where's your cat? My kitty is spoiled rotten. She no. She hasn't come back. Not since she jumped down and left. She was she was sleeping on my lap. She got up and left. I I don't get it.
[01:31:59] Unknown:
Probably she has a lot of English accents or something like that. And why? She didn't have a problem with Paul.
[01:32:07] Unknown:
Well, it's because I speak properly, you see. I'm not from Well, no. Maybe it's because you were just louder.
[01:32:13] Unknown:
You were just louder than Paul and I think she's got rather sensitive ears. It's okay. Don't worry about Eric, don't get all self conscious now. It's okay. It's okay. We love you anyway.
[01:32:27] Unknown:
That's alright. I speak proper like Paul does. Doesn't, does I?
[01:32:32] Unknown:
Oh, thank you. Does I? Just pop in. Speak proper, doesn't I?
[01:32:39] Unknown:
Does I? Anyways, nice to have you back. Who is I? We just to let everybody we were expecting a couple of other guests. I thought we were gonna be oversubscribed. Yeah. So we've had a bit of a it's been quite a kerfuffle. It's a good job I've got lots of, I've got my pipe here and everything and lots of tea. Cafuffel. Eli rocked up a bit early and left early. So It's nice to be back. I'll tell you something. It was it was really frustrating. It
[01:33:04] Unknown:
was kerfuffle. It's been a kerfuffle show.
[01:33:09] Unknown:
He's gone again.
[01:33:12] Unknown:
He left again. Oh, jeez.
[01:33:17] Unknown:
It's not working right tonight. Well, I I just don't think we can blame all of that on Microsoft. I just don't think so. No. I think it's this Internet outage that's taking place. I'm sure the listeners are absolutely thrilled to hear us keep talking about technical problems. I'm sorry. It's just live radio. We're just having a bit of a rough roll of it tonight, so that's the way it's gone. There's not much we can do about it. I don't know what I don't know what it is. It's it's easy to when I mentioned the word rooibos, it went tits up, didn't it? It's strange that. It's pretty weird. Well, they kinda did. Sorry. I I before the 10:00, we it did, didn't it? Yes. Perhaps you shouldn't mention that word again. Perhaps it's a naughty word, Simon. Which word? I don't
[01:33:53] Unknown:
know. No. Don't. Rhubosh.
[01:33:56] Unknown:
As as loads of cats throughout the world going, and scratching their claws in of their owners and things like that, you know. No. It's,
[01:34:06] Unknown:
well Anyway, Eric, now that you've been silenced Is it at all? Now that you've been silenced for a little while, were there any sort of Yes. Topic and you've been cut out of the loop, is there anything that you would like to talk about?
[01:34:20] Unknown:
Yes. Well, I think he's already talking about it, and that was Liz Truss because I didn't ask you today in Telegram, plug, plug, plug, plug, and, I said that anybody that steps out a line, is dealt with in inverted commas. So, when anybody says something like revealing what's happening in government, they're doing it for a reason because what we see from government is a theatrical show. It's a pantomime, put on by social engineers to monitor people's reaction. Because what I said is I believe they want there to be, an uprising so that they can then slide in one of their top one of their tyrants.
And that's how this is what happened in the all these revolutions. Chairman Mao, he he appealed to the populace, and he spoke their language. And they they they were all for well, 5% of the population were for him. And he was put thereby by the powers that be, to genocide China. And I fear that something similar is gonna happen in this country because whenever you see headlines in the mainstream press about revolution, you know it's being organized. Because mainstream press is run by writers on they get all the information from writers, and you know who owns writers? Rothbo Rothschilds.
So I do. I think I would take what Liz Truss says carefully.
[01:35:53] Unknown:
Don't forget the I would think Associated Press. The theater. AP Newswire. They're big. Oh, yes. Lot of stations get their news from AP. Yes. Yes.
[01:36:04] Unknown:
I knew that I think it is it is all stitched together. I think my I I think you can basically it's not as if any of us agree with any of us 100%, do we? But every now and again you do hear sentences or phrases that I believe are accurate and true and they need to be sort of bigged up as best as we can. Whether there's an ability to make a consistent effort. I'll tell you, there's just a lot of positives over here for Rupert Lowe and I'm kind of currently in that camp, because as I said I think he's done the right thing. He's not created a political party, he's created a pressure group effectively, and he's able to say the things and is saying the things that everybody in the pubs are saying. Well, if the pubs were open and if people actually went to them but would be saying if they were going to the pubs. But no, generally there there is a lot of this talk going on and he's he's reflecting it and it's right. And, interesting post he put up the other day which is slightly off beam.
His wife had parked her car I think in Ladbroke Grove somewhere which is a pretty decent area in London, only to come back the following morning. It's a Porsche Porsche Cayenne, rather a glitzy car. I don't I'm not bothered what the car they've got, but that's what they have. Only to discover that they had banger then, you know? Yeah. Cheap old banger. And, the headlamps had been stolen and took a photograph showing you all the headlamps taken out because the police weren't interested. Even if they were interested, there's probably nothing that they can do because they're too busy chasing people for using hurty words and this, that, and the other. You know, the whole thing shot to bits really. But the comments in the thread were really interesting because people knew exactly why the headlights had been stolen, and I didn't know this. So this is a bit of stuff going on.
Apparently, the lights that are in Porsches and possibly some other makes as well, but certainly in this particular make and model, emit a type of light with very little heat. And this makes them absolutely perfect for growing cannabis.
[01:38:04] Unknown:
Really?
[01:38:06] Unknown:
Yep. And apparently, there is a flurry of the theft of these headlights from cars in and around urban areas or major cities like London by people that need to grow weed. And the reason they use the lights is because they're so low in terms of the amount of heat that they emit. They can't be picked up by the heat scanners that the cops use to see if people are growing cannabis in their loft.
[01:38:32] Unknown:
Oh, but they don't they don't do that anyway. They don't do that anyway. Because they've got LED grow lights.
[01:38:40] Unknown:
Yeah. They Yeah. But the police basically have have equipment that tracks a heat signal thing. Maybe they do have LED lights and maybe they're expensive. Maybe maybe these are people who can't even afford the LED lights so they're just taking them out of the front end of a Porsche. So, you know, and somebody even put a clip up of people selling them on eBay. Not that those exact same ones, but there were quite a few adverts on eBay over here for Porsche headlights. There's like a secret dialogue. Everybody knows really what they're for. Oh, yeah. I need some Porsche headlights. Have you got any Porsche headlights? I'm really interested in them. And, I I need to get some of those. Crop of England is is flourishing somewhere
[01:39:20] Unknown:
unbeknownst to the police. I I see. The cannabis crop of New York isn't doing bad either. I mean, it's recreational here. Yeah. I can have six plants if I want. Six adult plants anyway. 12 total. Yeah. Yeah. I can grow my own. Because I Legally.
[01:39:39] Unknown:
Really? Yes. I think I can you in in Britain? I know that you can grow tobacco legally in this country, but I'm not sure about cannabis. Oh, that's going away. You know anything about that, Paul?
[01:39:51] Unknown:
Yeah. No. I don't. I'm not a I'm not a drug informed person. It's never really been part of my life. It's not something although, maybe we could do a show when we've all taken some LSD. What do you think? Oh, I'm with it.
[01:40:09] Unknown:
Oh. Oh, god.
[01:40:11] Unknown:
I don't know if I have to say that on broadcast radio. This is a terrible thing that Who'd be sitting off in the office?
[01:40:17] Unknown:
Dude, I'd be sitting off in the corner holding the side of my head going, my ears are melting.
[01:40:25] Unknown:
Well, why not Yeah. Why don't we have two types of Olympics? And that is the drug Olympics and the non drug Olympics and the drug Olympics, you know, eve even even the commentator could be stoned out their brain, you know. And here he goes running around the track following a pink elephant, and yes, it's flying. And way, man, this is really groovy, you know. It'd be cool, wouldn't it? You know, just have people drugged out their mind going around. Be far far more exciting Olympics, wouldn't it? If they try if they just accept it. I I don't know.
[01:40:54] Unknown:
I think it'd be difficult to follow follow the, competition. You know, they'd be going all over the place. Where the hell is that finish line anyway? And why are they not going for it?
[01:41:09] Unknown:
Well, I think the multiparty consequences are saying that. There will be people listening who are aware of this thing. But I I believe now is the time of magic mushrooms in the country. I think that this is Microdose. This is when the crop pops up. And, I was watching something today. I sound like as I'm I I don't take these things because I'm British. Right? But there's very interesting research on did you just say microdosing, Paul?
[01:41:38] Unknown:
Yeah. Microdosing.
[01:41:40] Unknown:
Yeah. Oh, I didn't know what this was all about. It's very interesting actually. Seriously, it is interesting. So people obviously think about taking LSD and magic mushrooms to to go on a journey or whatever you however you want to describe it. But microdosing, which is like taking a tenth of a gram every three or four days twice a week, apparently has extremely positive beneficial health effects. Improved powers of concentration. They've tested it on mice and apparently they live longer with a more alert life. It improves mental acuity. So there's a level at which it really works. And there were you've mentioned, Eric, before about these indigenous tribes, you know, the ones that just hunt the hunter gatherers. There's still many, you know, in South America that operate, and they use it in this way. I mean, they also get completely smacked out of their good, I think, from times to times as well. Mhmm. But, it it basically heightens their abilities, their mental stamina, and their sensitivities to their environment. They become acutely more conscious of everything, and this is very helpful if you're out hunting wild things that might kill you.
[01:42:48] Unknown:
So It it awakens your intuition. Fascinating. Fascinating. It awakens your intuition. It activates normally dormant parts of the brain. It it it has, like, crazy, crazy effects. I mean, you know, like, the stoners from the sixties and the seventies and stuff, you know, the ones that were, like, they were poets and they were musicians, they were artists, and they're all their backstory was they, like, tripped out on LSD, like like, seriously one time, and, basically, their brain was never the same again and not in a bad way. They just found all these new abilities that they had and and ways of concentrating and things like that.
And microdosing mushrooms, psilocybin is what I think they call them, does the same thing on a on a lesser level. I mean, the why do you think the CIA was doing LSD experiments? Come on.
[01:43:53] Unknown:
The government Apparently, LSD, when the government started doing it, I was just I found out all these things today. I mean, I don't know what I want to do with this information. It just sort of was tumbling, across the screen. So I started watching it for fifteen minutes. Very interesting guy talking about in a very intelligent sort of way. He's a regular LSD consumer or has been for years, but it's hasn't affected him one little bit. I know some people it's affected terribly. I mean, I actually knew one someone personally. It would take them years to get over the results of it, but he was just addressing all these aspects of it and it it appear it's definitely got some kind of a positive in it. So when when LSD first appeared, the government would effectively give you approval to take it.
And there are more research papers done during this period, I guess, the early to mid sixties until they outlawed it. There's over 3,000 academic papers written on the effects of it, not in terms of purely negative but in terms of other positives that I mean basically it breaks down the compartments of your mind and people have these almost spiritual benign and wonderful experiences on the one hand. I think he also said other people have the experience of being eaten alive by snakes which, of course, is not really particularly edifying or what you're looking for. But in in the micro dosing it appears to be it's got some real beneficial effects. One of the things he also mentioned was that they did a test with several thousand. This is recently, 2015.
So I think that's recent. 2015 they got, I think it was over two thousand and under three thousand, so several thousand people to microdose, taking a tenth of a gram on day one, leaving days two and three empty, and then on day four and seven one day on two days off. Many of them, after this thirty day trial, reduced the frequency even more than that. They were taking it like once a week and many stopped altogether because apparently once this sort of beneficial improvement to focus has been achieved it it lasts. You don't need to keep taking it and many felt that they didn't. So there are people with sort of anxiety disorders, ADHD, things that have become part of, I guess, the lexicon of describing all these physical ailments and mental conditions that people have, which were considerably improved by taking microdosing from whatever it is that comes out of magic mushrooms. I can't remember the name of it but that that's kind of it. So, yeah.
So the idea of living longer with a more sprightly mind, is not to be sneezed at. I think it, you know, we need as many brain cells working as we can, particularly as all the mobile phones are doing their damndest to kill them off, I assume, still, if that's part if that's really what's going on. Mhmm. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I'm looking at replacing my phone here. I don't want a five g phone, but then I was thinking about if everybody around me's got five g, is it gonna make any difference? You know? I've been five g'd fried anyway. Maybe I am. It's difficult to say. I mean, you know, those islands in the Outer Hebrides are beginning to look more and more attractive with each passing day.
[01:47:01] Unknown:
So Yeah. But being feet away from a five g device is better than having one in your pocket. Yeah. I'm just saying.
[01:47:12] Unknown:
Yeah. I agree.
[01:47:13] Unknown:
I agree. Any distance you can put between you and it is is all good.
[01:47:21] Unknown:
Do we need five g, though? Because I reckon four and three g are perfectly okay. Isn't there's no no reason for it. And, they reckon that we didn't even need digital when it comes to televisions because our televisions were perfectly okay with the old ideas. And I think sometimes it's changed, well, for reasons that we're not told, Because five g was something to do with a a military weapon, wasn't it? So they weaponized it. No. They had to do they had to do digital
[01:47:48] Unknown:
digital for TV, so they could move TV out of the frequency band that it was in and, opened the bandwidth for digital TVs. So, TVs that were so equipped and connected to cable could set up bidirectional communication between your home and the cable company. Not only is the cable company sending you stuff that you're watching, but you sitting in front of the TV, if it was, outfitted with a forward facing camera, then it's watching you Mhmm. And sending what you're doing back to the cable company. Yeah. It's a thing. And I believe that they put the cameras right next to the, infrared remote sensor. So if you cover the camera, yours remote doesn't work.
Really crazy.
[01:48:46] Unknown:
Yeah. Hang on. Sorry. I'm just sending a message here to Nathan. It's just got through to me through here. It was a little crowded in the first hour. He's got that message, so maybe Nathan will be joining us shortly.
[01:49:01] Unknown:
Yeah. I thought it was Antonia because Anurag was due to come on. Hang on. I'll have a look and see,
[01:49:09] Unknown:
It's okay, Eric. Don't worry about it. People will it's absolutely fine. I think, I mean, I've been looking for one of these phones, where you can take the battery out, so I need one of those. All the modern phones, you can't take the battery out. That means it's basically on all the time. Yeah. I mean Yeah. It's like finding a slightly pathetic war against it. I Yeah. Yeah. I do accept that.
[01:49:31] Unknown:
I've got a TCL.
[01:49:33] Unknown:
Actually, I thought the EU had bring brought out. Got a TCL advertisement. I thought they brought their law out. Where but my Nokia's got a removal battery, but I thought they brought a law out in this country and also the EU that all batteries have gotta be removable. I thought that was some time ago. So I don't know what's happened there because so my Nokia, it's about four or five years old, and you take the battery out of that. I I deliberately got one that you can remove the battery from. So, yes. And I know that most, the old phones, dumb phones, you can get the batteries out of them.
So, you know, it's but so they're still selling phones that have got a battery that's sealed in you can't change. That's interesting.
[01:50:21] Unknown:
I think they're all like that. It's not possible to get one. I've seen Freedom Phones or whatever they're called and this, that, and the other. They're quite expensive. I I don't mind if I feel that the benefit would be better, not that I'm loaded or anything. But, I mean, I've got a Motorola here that's been working perfectly for nearly six years, I think. And, it does me fine. I mean, I don't I barely use it really to be quite honest. It's just for handling Telegram messages more than anything else. That's the main thing I tend to use it for. Actually I there was a thing actually that occurred to me as well after last week's show. I had the word Luddite in the title but we didn't talk about technology at all last week which was because we were talking about so many other things, which is fine.
But you know the question a question one question is how much technology do we need? Obviously I would suggest not as much as what we're being given but I came, somebody kindly sent me a little post here from Twitter the other day which I quite like. I think it's in in line with this. It's from somebody called Alex Zek, not that I know him, not that I subscribe to it but I just got the message forward to me. It's not very long and this is what he wrote. He says, I don't know if it's just a millennial and Gen X thing. I'm confused about what eras those are because I'm a boomer. I don't know if it's just a millennial and Gen X thing because we're the ones who live through both the analog world and the ever advancing digital age. Well, boomers too. We've lived through it as well. But I feel like a lot of us are carrying this quiet unspoken grief.
Grief for a slower, more reality based life that we once knew. Everything's changing so very fast. The world around us is becoming almost unrecognizable and with it so is our sense of what it even means to be human. The digital age is slowly suffocating something deep and sacred within us. I think that's very true. I think that's a very true thing. You know, when we when we talk about these old fashioned things, which we do tend to talk about on here, I'm doing I guess in part to maintain a connection in my mind and in my heart to what I consider to be a much better world and one that moved slowly. You know, I was talking about the guy that I bumped into in the street, the guy that had got, the brain damage and couldn't remember stuff.
We were we got around to talking about this. I mean, he could hold a conversation for sort of like twenty seconds and then would say, what what are we talking about? But we managed to get he mentioned horses. He said, well, we can't go back to horses, can we? I said, well, we could. I said, wouldn't you like if a horse came down this street right now? It'd be quite exciting, wouldn't it? All that clip clop. I said, I suppose if it was nothing but horses it would be a problem. But there's something about the slower moving, the slower pace of life seems to have produced or should produce a more deeply thinking thoughtful people because she's not been mentally battered from pillar to post with the latest shock horror story of this that and the other.
And I'm sort of this show is likely to have less and less news in it from a point of view that I'm reading less and less of it and feeling much happier because of it. Now you can say well your happiness is not important and we're in an alarming situation. But I don't know what benefit it is to keep sort of stewing over things, which are just basically it's just more sort of fear porn all the time. It's not particularly constructive. I don't know what you guys think about that.
[01:53:47] Unknown:
Well, I I agree with you. By the way, the Nokia g 22 has a removable battery, and you can repair it, apparently. You can you can fix get replacement parts for it, and it's, an up to date one. And it costs, £72, or you can get a refurbished one for $59.95. So there we go. And you get a salami nalgos for about £80. That's it. So, I I cracked it for you. So you Alright. It's the Nokia g 22. The g 22? Same, Paul. Was it? I the g 20 yes. I mean, my one, my Nokia, I think you interchanged the change the battery in it. You know? So, they still do them. But with the the problem I think with, technology is that, it's technology for the sake of technology in many ways because there's a lot of crap on smartphones that you don't really need.
I don't really want to have Facebook and everything else like that on smartphones, but it's on there.
[01:54:52] Unknown:
And, I don't know whether your one does this. Does it eat up memory for no reason at all? As mine does? Yeah. It does. I mean, I I yeah. I mean, when I first got the phone, they've fallen off now, but I took gaffer tape and put them over the cameras, front and back. Yeah. I I don't take pictures with my phone at all unless it's documents that I have to send off to people then I can peel it off. I don't you know people just take have you noticed that sporting events right that you see on TV? Is anybody actually really present emotionally in the event anymore? Because everybody's got a camera taking pictures of everybody else with a camera, taking pictures of everybody else with a camera. It reminds me of that scene in the Beatles film. Was it Help? Where they're all running round one another on the beach. Remember that film Help with the Beatles? They've all got a camera. Yes. And they're all taking photographs of each other, taking photographs of each other and it's like that. It's just is anybody actually present in the event or are you just recording it to talk about later on when it won't be as good? Why don't you actually just accept that this is an event you're at it and it's gonna disappear down the memory hole like every other thing where it needs to go you can't sort of remember all of these things. It's just a bit bizarre I just you know it's weird.
Everybody's into sort of self image thing it's it's sort of ego on steroids going bonkers with people just and I never understood this thing with Facebook in the first place, people putting their entire life up there. I'm going why are you doing that? Really? Why are you putting all these pictures of it? I just don't get it. Yes. Never got it.
[01:56:22] Unknown:
Well, you know that latest thing, I I saw my neighbor the other day. Now I walked across there's like a sort of a a a wooded area of of of sort of and I noticed my neighbor sitting on a seat, farting around on the on her phone, you see. That was strange. What's she doing there? And I found out that she plays a game. Do you remember I Spy? Those books I Spy that you used to get when you were a kid. I do. You know, you had to go out and you had to see a double decker bus. Well, they got a game like that on the Internet, and my neighbor farts around most of her life going out, finding things like I Spy.
What a boring life. I mean, I've got better things to do and spends most of the day doing that. Yawn? I mean, what is it? How weird.
[01:57:12] Unknown:
There are some strange little things that have popped up with all have you seen that game that people play where they have to identify a place in the world from a photograph? You have to guess where it is. It's called GeoGuess. It's absolutely bizarre. There's a whole sort of cult movement. I'm gonna call it a cult. So the game is a photograph of anywhere in the world is put up and then you've got to guess where you've got to work out where it is. Some of these guys are quite brilliant at it. Oh it's Madagascar. They'll work out after about twenty minutes just from looking at a picture. Boring farts out there isn't they?
[01:57:45] Unknown:
Well, we're quite dull at times. I can be quite tedious. Do you does it irritate you when someone says someone says oh, yeah. But I tell you what gets me is when someone says, oh, look at this. And they show you the smartphone and it show you you see a I don't know, an AI tap dancing apps hamster or something, or someone tripping over a bridge or anything like that. And I'm thinking, I'm I'm bored out my mind with this. Why? And and they spent hours and hours and hours trolling through garbage. I mean, what is it? It's I don't know. It's people just like wasting time. I think there's much more interesting things to do than that.
[01:58:24] Unknown:
It's a I know. Jigsaw puzzle. Old fuddy duddy. I don't know. It's jigsaw puzzle and things like that. Anyway, look we're coming up towards the end of hour two here. Our time slot on WBN three two four. So this is when I traditionally play as across the bridge, as it were, of Troubled Waters with a song. It won't be that song, by the way. I don't like it very much. We'll be back again on WBN same time next week. The show carries on over on Rumble and YouTube and other various radio outlets and channels. If you wanna carry on tuning in, head on over to paulenglishlive.com and click the rumble or YouTube link or whatever suits your fancy, and we can carry on. And, I played a song by this band last week, and I'm gonna do it again. It's a different song.
This is oh, everybody will guess what this is. This is another sort of recently recent sort of rock song but bluegrassified. This this is probably the end of my bluegrass period with music on the show for a wee while anyway, but we'll be back after the break on the other side, here on Paul English Live and on WBN. We'll see you all same time next week. Bye for now, WBN listeners, and carry on for another hour elsewhere. Here we go.

[02:03:28] Unknown:
And that was Iron Horse with sweet child of mine. Isn't it how radio DJ's say it? I think they do, don't they? So, welcome back to hour three. Yes, absolutely marvelous. Spiffing. And spiffing. Absolutely. Spiffing, topo, and all that kind of stuff. Yes. Yes. I've got that. Why? Yes. It's
[02:03:54] Unknown:
well, mind you, last time I said that the camera the, the computer went up the spout. So we've got to let not say the word spiffing or roo bosh. So let's let's try and keep away from those words, shall we?
[02:04:07] Unknown:
Let's.
[02:04:09] Unknown:
Yeah. Why do you keep seeing it?
[02:04:16] Unknown:
Good point, excellent point there, yes. I never thought of that. Yes. You you can't fool me, I'm too stupid, you know.
[02:04:27] Unknown:
You can't fool me, I'm empty as they come back.
[02:04:31] Unknown:
I think there's a lot to be said though to being for being a new a neo Luddite, which is what I think I am. I've hit peak technology. I don't really want any more to be quite honest. I mean, that's a ridiculous thing to say. But you see these I mean, electric cars. Oh, good grief. Dear me. Oh, god. No. I know these incidents are probably few and far between. But, what did I see the other day? Oh, yeah. These things, if they break down, you can't open the doors. Right? You can't open the doors. Somebody got burnt alive in one last week.
The the footage is just awful, so I turned it off. Everybody's trying to because it's poly armored glass. Oh, poor soul. So you can't you can't get the glass broken because people aren't carrying sledgehammers with spikes on the end to get through those things. Yeah. I mean, it's just I think it's it's just not been thought through. It's really, really bad. I mean, I know people obviously used to be in car accidents in the early days with petrol engines blowing up and it was very very bad but good grief. I mean you'd think there'd be some sort of I just don't want any of that kind of stuff. There definitely is a requirement for the do it yourself simple mechanical car. There really is. I mean, I think someone needs to start making one. Anything basic Yes.
Oh. With an, you know, with an engine under us under one liter, it'll do it with modern engines and then you won't have to pay that congestion charge in London. And you want mechanic I want mechanical window winders and I want mechanical door handles Yes. And I want an old radio. I just hate electronic junk in the car. There's just too much of it. It's just ridiculous. Yes. You're doing this. This is the amount of miles you've got left. Just give me a bloody fuelometer. I know what's going on. Thank you very much. It worked great. We know, you know, it's just it's irritating. The whole thing is it is. Basically,
[02:06:20] Unknown:
that's right. You just wanna get to a from a to b, and all you really need is a rev counter and a speedo. That's really it. Maybe a clock if you're a bit posh, and that's it. And what gets me with these electric cars, one, you got the electromagnetic smog, which is not good for you. And even in petrol cars now, you've got a lot of electrics. And the second thing, this bloody great screed in front of the driver. Now, Charlie, is that distracting? You want the minimum of distractions. All you want is to know what speed you're doing. What else do you do you need to know? Oh, and a rev counter maybe. But if it's electric, you won't need a rev rev counter even. So what do you need all this stuff in in gunk in in the car for?
It's again, it's all superfluous as far as I'm concerned. And, I'm I I there was was going there was saying that all about ten, fifteen years ago that, the Chinese are gonna massively import simple cars. What happened to that? It had died a death, didn't it? Mhmm. Since this country Yeah. It did. Now wouldn't it be nice, a simple car you just repair, you know, like the CCV. I used to work with a bloke who bought nothing but two CVs or dust carts on wheels, and he said they're the most simplest car to repair. He said, they're always on the road. He said, all of his neighbors have got posh cars, and after time, they're they're off the road. But he said, his two CVs just goes and goes and goes. And, apparently,
[02:07:48] Unknown:
What what was that? Kenya? Mhmm. Kenya came up a guy in Kenya came up with an electric car, has, like, a three or 400 mile range. It's Yeah. Mostly mechanical. It seats four, and you can buy one for between 5 and $8,000. It's ridiculously cheap. It's ridiculously cheap. It's mostly manual. The only thing the batteries are there for is to operate the engine, the motor, to propel it down the road. The brakes are just reversing the polarity of the motor and actually, using the momentum of the car to charge the batteries when you're braking, it's it's simplistic in itself.
And it's only $5. And they're selling it now. Yep.
[02:08:49] Unknown:
And no one's gonna nick that car. Right? Don't make it because it's not worth out. You see, there's a lot to be said for being humble and poor because you're not worth robbing. And therefore, you don't have to get interfered with by the modern world. I'm not against electric engines if they work, and there are advances in battery technology. I think there's a sodium battery coming out which is sounds amazing and there's all these other things which are way way better than the basically souped up laptop batteries that they're using right now. But they'll have an industrial war over that because people have invested billions into build building these things like Tesla for one. But I think there's a Chinese company. I've forgotten the, the acronym for them. They've developed sodium batteries. They're about four 40% of the cost or about half the cost.
They've got 40 to 50% more range and all sorts of stuff and the materials they make out of them are abundant and are much more environmentally friendly and it uses sodium and a few other things apparently. I was on with some tech channel the other day looking at it. I mean, an electric engine in a car, but I want mechanical doors so I can get out the bloody thing if it if it blows up. Yeah. Right. Sorry. That's what I want. There's And I want glass that can be broken. Have you seen those glass breakers that they sell? I mean, this is a known thing because if an electric car goes in the water and all the doors sit, you'll drown in it. So one of the things I don't think they equip them when you buy the car. There's like, an air press jackhammer.
It's about, I don't know, about a foot long. You hold it. You put it against the glass and it just it like kicks the glass and just shatters it because you need it against this modern high-tech glass. It's, you know, it's tough as steel, this stuff. It so it just punches a hole and you can get the window out and then you can get out and save yourself. So, you know, if that's what they need, they need it. But the idea of people being trapped in their very expensive electronic cars, electric cars being burnt to death alive, it's just it's horrific. It's just completely mad.
It's totally mad again. This is completely off the charts, I think. I want that cheap car. Agree. We need the cheap car. We need the peasant's car. Then we need the Volkswagen, don't we, Eric? Isn't that one wouldn't that be a good name for it? We need the Volkswagen. Yeah. Volkswagen.
[02:10:57] Unknown:
It's also a beautiful piece of engineering.
[02:11:01] Unknown:
Who is it? Was it Toyota or Toshiba Toyota working with Toshiba or something like that? They came up with a rechargeable battery that uses a kilogram of silver in the battery. It lasts twenty years. And when the battery is recycled, like 80% of the silver is recoverable, it has lighter weight, greater range than a lithium ion battery and it charges 10 times as fast, 10 times as quickly. It's and that's supposed to hit the market. The the silver based batteries next year, something like that. Now if we could just keep silver from getting to $500 an ounce, screwing up that battery technology, well, that might work.
You know what? Silver is silver is spiking in value just as they start talking about this silver based battery and mainstream? Do you think maybe those two might be related?
[02:12:05] Unknown:
I was gonna bring up that very point. Yeah. Yeah. Again, we bump into the management of economic systems thwarting, products and devices that people actually want. I'm sure if everybody sat down and write a list of all the sort of technical doodads that they need, it won't be that long. I've had a sad I've had a sad week this week, though, on that front. We've got a dual lit toaster for making toast, a four slicer, absolutely magnificent thing, or was up until last week. We've had it since 1998. So this is nearly 30 years old, this toaster, and it's done a lot of toast I can tell you because I've eaten most of it that's come out of it. And, unfortunately one of the one of the things has gone, I think I've been told it can be repaired. I've gone rather attached to it. It's been a fixture in the kitchen all this time, you know. So you sort of you get accustomed to these things being there when they're not there. You realize you're such a creature of habit. But it's a fantastic design. I mean they they haven't been cafes all over the place. I go, that works so we'll keep that. I'll, some people like electric kettles. I'm not one of them. I like my kettle on the hob. This is really advanced stuff we're talking about tonight everybody.
We just got a new kettle with the most ferocious whistle on it. Literally, it sounds like a jet engine taking off when it gets going. It's wonderful. So it's very exciting, all these little things. There's not much that you need. I'm I'm absolutely convinced of this. There's not much that you need but there's always the advertising agency saying you need this. Oh, so this ludicrous thing today. What was it? Oh, yeah. A bed, right, that's connected to the internet. I'm serious. Let's go. Oh no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's in that bed. Yeah. So what it's it's made out of all this stuff and, you don't need heating elements in it or anything. And it's checking your blood pressure, your heart rate and everything overnight. Obviously sending all that data off.
I'm just going What? No. Stop it. Just stop. You electronic Ah.
[02:14:06] Unknown:
Stop with this stuff. It's not Oh, I know what it's for. It's they're gonna tax they're gonna tax sex, and it's p a y f, pay as you fornicate. Sorry. You thought it was gonna say something else there, wasn't it?
[02:14:21] Unknown:
No. They're they're expecting suspects
[02:14:24] Unknown:
looking through through your window. Oh, hang on. Look. Oh, yeah. The bank's going away. Log in again. Right. Okay. Extra tax.
[02:14:32] Unknown:
We'll just log on to the bed fire. We don't need to look in the windows anymore. That's right.
[02:14:38] Unknown:
Well, the thing is, Eric, that that actually wouldn't be a new tax, would it? No. It wouldn't be a new tax because that's what that's what caused the poll tax riots that led to the peasants' revolt. All that? That's right. It was actually pubic hair that they were measuring. I don't know if this bed actually measures that. I've said this before. It's always worth repeating these tales for for new listeners if you know heard of this, but back in that day what they were putting a poll tax on everybody on all adults and the determination of whether you were an adult or not was whether you had pubic hair. So this meant 14 year olds and 13 year olds, I guess. I don't know when people matured back then but I think the report said something to that effect. And now in FOBBING, which is not a million miles from you, Eric, I don't think. FOBBING FOBBING, yes, should we call it? FOBBING FOBBING in Essex, which is where the term fobbing off comes from because of this event. And so, they sent tax inspectors out there, and the women in particular the mothers became incredibly vexed. That's an understatement. They were furious about this. The tax inspectors were going around looking up their daughters dresses to see if they could see any signs of maturity, let's put it that way. That's a good day. They were also coming in, Yeah. They were also coming into houses to see if they could find watch springs and and and the like. And if they did, the tax had gone. They just had enough.
So in the end, this is the part where it all kicked off and they repelled the tax, inspectors by killing a few. They Excellent. Excellent. There's a lot about it. They were killed. Yes. Perfect. They were killed with bows and arrows. Many of the bows and arrows actually wielded by women, ladies. Just to let you know, archery is a good pursuit for ladies, to take up. Very, very good at that. And, the main woman was a woman called Diana Ferrer, and, she became, very proficient at shooting tax inspectors off horseback at speed. So, there we go and that's what kicked it all off. So, you know, it wouldn't surprise me if they are looking for that. But I mean, it's just what were you supposed to say about this? Are you gonna put an electronic device in everything?
That's why I'm a neo Luddite. I'm not against all of it but is there gonna be a line put underneath it and said enough we really don't need that. So the simple electric car would be quite appealing I think. It could be quite appealing this simple electric car.
[02:17:03] Unknown:
Yeah. But they've got one in in in, The Netherlands, which is a sorry. I didn't mean to cut in there, but, which I if they were cheap enough, I mean, these things cost, I don't know, I think about 14,000 or something like that. They're a small two seater that make let's put it this way. They're so small, they make a smart car look big. But what you can do, you actually, they're on a kind of you know, like shopping trolleys? Mhmm. Now imagine a battery's on a shopping trolley. You'd open the door The door. And they they show you a demonstration you see on YouTube, and you plug the battery in. So when you leave the car, you can take the battery with you and wheel it into your house and charge the battery up. Or you could have two batteries, one either side, to go a further distance. And you can actually rent the batteries or buy them. And I think it's a brilliant idea. So you just pull into a garage.
They just open your door, unplug a battery. They're they're they're about the size of a I don't know. About the size of two conventional car batteries,
[02:18:03] Unknown:
two or three of them, and, then plug another one in. And I think that is the way to go. I really do. Why faff around for ages be charge your batteries up when you just Well, I'm looking forward to the Fockem Hall Ministry of Transport taking full charge of the transportation needs of the nation as soon as possible. Well, he was gonna come on, wasn't he? And he he's he's gone, old Anurag. Yeah. It's a pity, really. I've sent him a it's a pity. So we'll have him on next time because I actually Yes. From your show on Monday, I don't know if anybody caught Eric's show on Monday. It was a bit of a blast actually. And, we were going up talking about locomotives and things and he mentioned the thing called the nine f class which was the last massive steam engines built by British Rail. So I went off and looked these things up. They're enormous.
Absolutely and they were designed for pulling freight. Massively powerful. I think Paul had said that they were more powerful than a Deltic which is with these big diesel things. I know this is a bit boys talk around here but this I'm this thing even talking about steam engines I think it is tapping into this slower pace of life thing. And and it's part of that precious stuff that we've lost, a kind of feeling, a warmth about life. And, electronics are not warm. They're not warm. They're they're kind of distant. I can't describe it. They're not, are they? Like, I've
[02:19:21] Unknown:
got And I mean Yeah. That that they can sorry. I didn't mean to cut across you there. But with this AI, it can go two ways. And I believe we could be living the life of Riley with AI being our slaves. So it'd bring, the price of everything down, where you could have something like a replica of a '19, I don't know, 1948 Jag Jag, which should be electric, made by AI, and people could then pursue the hobbies and the things they want to do. And we could have art beautiful architecture because that's what what people would be employed with. So AI robots would make the structure all the boring stuff, and us humans will come along and do all the beautiful, you know, art Yeah. Art nouveau and things like that on the side. Just think what the world could become and how inventive it could become and creative.
People doing work, what they want to do, not what they're forced to do. And that's what I think we need to go back to. Because years ago, when you look at these beautiful cathedrals, you can't tell me people were press ganged into working on them. No. They loved it. So, that's my view. And, so, you know, learn how to carve and all all these different things. I think it'd be marvelous.
[02:20:41] Unknown:
So I was watching something the other day about York Minster. You know York Minster is a pretty impressive Oh, yes. Cathedral. Right? I used to go up there when I was a kid. It's only 20 miles from where I grew up, so we were up at York a lot. And York's a very very old place, Jorvik. And, it was just a little clip, of some Americans going around looking at the Roman walls still there and everything. And, you know, we kind of take it for granted. I did because I was just going up there to drink beer at the time. Stuff, and things like that. But, the guide that was explaining some of the gargoyles and things that are on there said that at the peak they had 2,200 stonemasons working on it.
[02:21:24] Unknown:
Beautiful. Why not? 2,200
[02:21:27] Unknown:
stonemason. I don't know if there's that many left in England at the moment. I mean, I I don't know. There probably is, I guess. But, it's impressive work and, of course, it was built over a long period of time. I don't know how long, probably in excess of a 100 years. I mean, you know, it's sort of like, well, we got time. Let's just get on with it. Let's build something magnificent. It's the it's the fact that you're doing that and it's kind of it lays down a big chapter in your story as a people. I mean we're not the only people to do this but it's all across Europe. You find these things and they're wonderful and they send out this kind of energy wave of encouragement about life don't they? Whereas when you look at the buildings that are going they're discouraging, they are demoralizing the modern buildings.
They're saying we're poor we can only put up a box, we we haven't even got the inventiveness to put up a beautiful box it's got to be just a box box. All of these things. All of it. This is why it happens when you get commies infesting your nervous your sort of cultural nervous system. They're just, you know, they're a menace. Everything starts to to go into this spiral.
[02:22:23] Unknown:
We we need to look at the life and things in a different way. And we've got to look in a way to make people happy. And you can't make people happy by them doing, providing they don't harm anybody else, what they want to do and what they're skilled at. And I think we've all got individual talents and individual skills that need to be brought out, but they're not. They're being stifled with this idea of a job, you know, turning burgers over or whatever it is. Well, I believe if a person's turning burgers, they should do it because they wanna do it. It's because they've always aspired to it, and they probably do a bloody marvellous job of it. But Mhmm. We're not all the same, and this is what gets me. Just think, we could have thatched cottages. We could be all absolute we could beautify the whole of Great Britain if we use AI correctly. I really do believe that. Everybody could have a chauffeur, an AI chauffeur. And you should say, okay, jeez. Take me to such and such a place. You get in a lovely car, and we could all be living like millionaires.
All of us. There'd be no, you know, think about it. Yeah. Well,
[02:23:28] Unknown:
I I think the I think we're we're we're barely scratching the surface of what we could do. Do you think I've often I was thinking this, you know, the people still talking about railways but in a smaller version. You know the guys that build model railways? Or you know of? Oh yes, right? Yes. Yes. And you have model railway clubs and they always seemed a bit nerdy to me. I mean I loved it when I was eight. We used to go along when I was a little kid and I wanted a big train set, you know, that's all, you know, I don't know what it is kids and trains but it's just one of those things. But maybe maybe the appeal of it is that they can build the world that they actually really want to live in.
I know it's in miniature but, you know, it's in the world of the imagination, that kind of thing. And they sort of recreate and I'm I think I I'm sort of prone to that in terms of the things that I want to talk about. And much of it of course is a longing for a world that I wasn't really fully part of, I accept all that you know. But this I like I like the story of it as I sort of feel it or interpret it. You know this thing about when we were talking the other day about like trains having compartments. All of the sort of older things just come out of people making a comfortable space in which you could always envisage yourself having quality conversations.
And that life is is quick but not excessively frenetically speedy for no damn good reason whatsoever. Of course, the underlying thing is we've got to be more efficient because the economy, you know, the economy. We've got to get costs. Everything's got to be simplified and more brutally miserable, and you've got to move quicker and quicker. You need to work harder and harder, and you've both got to work, and you haven't got time to raise children. It's all so expensive, and it's just all of these things. They're all part of one story, which is sort of, you know, an intentional mismanagement of what we wanna build. I mean, I don't think it's really a new problem, Eric. It's probably thousands. You know, who gets to be in charge and on what basis? But it's it's particularly alarming, I suppose, the speed with which everything's getting buggled about. Here we are 2,025, and it's almost as if the world before COVID, which is what, five, six years ago, was a very, very different world.
Oh, it was? In just five years. Very different. We're only talking five years ago. It's not long is it? It doesn't seem long to me. No.
[02:25:39] Unknown:
No. Although when the outbreak of that COVID does seem a long time ago, it seems like a different world because I remember hearing on the, no. Sorry. I because I don't listen to the radio or I have a television. I just remember seeing it on the, inter no. To the light. I was in my car. Put the radio on because I often put the radio on in my car. That's about every time I listen to radio. And this woman's saying, oh, it's just like a flu virus. There's nothing to worry about. Next thing, they had lockdown, and I went down to the local town, and it was like a scene from a science fiction film.
I just could not believe what I see. People queuing outside the bank, everywhere closed on a Sunday afternoon. I thought, what is this? And it was a really smoggy, horrible day. And it really affected me. It really thought something weird. And I remember, when we had a nice day, and I was cycling along the road, and there was some shops. And there was a butcher shop, nobody around, and this bloke, the owner of this this butcher came out, and he waved. Hello, sir. Hello. And I waved back. He was so delighted to see life, human life around. Yep. And I was the only person I probably probably seen for ages because no cars on the road.
And it was just like Amiga Man. You remember the film Amiga Man? Remember that? I think I do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like an Avengers set
[02:27:06] Unknown:
where there's only, you know, Stede and Emma Peel in the middle of some big industrial, and there's only two other people there. They're always kind of bleak and lonely, very sort of surreal in a way. But I mean Yeah. But with Omega, man, Charlton Heston there is driving down the road, and he believes is the only person left in the world Mhmm. But he isn't.
[02:27:24] Unknown:
And there's other people left as well. Very interesting film. The original one from nineteen seventies, the remake was crap, but the original one's pretty good. What what do you think? I think I've seen that once a long time ago. Yeah. I think I've seen that one a long time ago. Yeah. It's he he well, because as I say, he thinks he's the only one, but he isn't. And there's, there's some mutant people wandering around that are after him. And, Vincent Price was the first one to do the film. That was in 1964. Then they made the rebate break with, Charlton Heston, I think, in the early seventies.
And then they've done other ones since then. But the one in the seventies with Charlton Heston, that's a good one. So there we go. It'll plug in. Guys.
[02:28:08] Unknown:
Charlton Esten. Yeah, Paul.
[02:28:10] Unknown:
I have located the $5,000 Africa car. The 5,000 Oh, brilliant. EV is, the Itaua, I t a o u a. And the the make of the car is called the Native, or the model of the car is the Native. And it run Tesla's in range with batteries that are 90% cheaper.
[02:28:42] Unknown:
Wow. So Yeah.
[02:28:44] Unknown:
So is there a website for it? Is there a Oh, no. Well, there's
[02:28:48] Unknown:
spell that again? I t a a o u a.
[02:28:53] Unknown:
And I just dropped a, a link to a YouTube video, in the, studio chat. So you can check that out. Thank you. I've got it. Okay. Cool. So it's the Yeah. It's $5,000.
[02:29:09] Unknown:
OUA. What was it called again? The name of the car? It's called the Native, and it's actually
[02:29:15] Unknown:
a pretty little car. I mean, there's a Chinese one that looks like a cigarettes box with wheels on it, and it's $5,000 too. But the African model is, like, leaps and bounds, prettier and bigger and more useful than the Chinese version.
[02:29:33] Unknown:
Sorry, China. Screwed up. Go back to the dryer boat. Change the batteries, e can you can you change the batteries easy if they if you got the spare? Are they cheap? You know? Can you sort of whip about in the afternoon or in about half hour or something? Oh, I believe you can.
[02:29:47] Unknown:
I don't I don't see why not. I mean, the batteries Wow. I've been Why would they say Yeah. Why would they say the batteries are 90% cheaper if you couldn't replace them. That's the beauty part. So Interesting. And it's not that they're lacking in power because they outranged a Tesla.
[02:30:11] Unknown:
They beat Tesla in range. Guarantee you will not be able to buy one in The United States or Europe.
[02:30:19] Unknown:
Oh, absolutely not. No. You'll have to buying it. Yes. You'll have to travel to Europe or travel to Africa, buy one, take delivery, drive it around for a couple of weeks, and then drag it back home as a used car.
[02:30:35] Unknown:
You can do that. The on air battery that goes well, well, well.
[02:30:39] Unknown:
Well, it says here on the YouTube video, which has not been viewed by enough people, only 4,000. This $5,000 EV from Africa is a global shockwave. Well, they're always using words like that, but it does look fun. Some points. It says, the Iron Air battery that costs 90% less than a Tesla battery, the EV uses just 370 parts versus Tesla's 10,000. There's a biggie. It charges on a standard outlet in four hours. Micro factory revolution scaling faster than any automaker. I want one. I'd buy one of those. Yeah. I'd probably get one of those. That's a beauty fireman. What what they did was they set up micro factories
[02:31:24] Unknown:
to repair or to build the cars so they can upscale, delivery as quickly as they need to. As demand increases, all they do is instead of spending millions millions of dollars and six months to a year to build a factory, they can spend a couple of $100,000 and have a factory up in six weeks and be building cars. They've done everything on a on a compartmentalized scale, and it's brilliant. Brilliant.
[02:32:01] Unknown:
I'd love that. Cool. I really would like one. And it does look nice, doesn't it? It doesn't look unpleasant.
[02:32:06] Unknown:
It's a nice design. Well, there we go, Eric. Can't we get the, Fockem Hall Minister of Yes. Transport to set up an import export company and we get those in. We better sort it out. Of course, they probably will slap a bit of a tariff on it, I would imagine. Yes. But, I mean, if they were really serious about having, city vehicles that don't emit anything, $5,000, that's what? 4,000
[02:32:27] Unknown:
pounds? Yeah. Bloody. I'd have one of them.
[02:32:31] Unknown:
Absolutely marvelous. I'd have two. I'd have one for the weekend. Yeah. In different colors. Nice grand.
[02:32:38] Unknown:
One for each week. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I like it. I really do like that one. It's it's It's a sweet looking little car. I definitely think Tesla is worried. And they're and I'll bet you I'll bet you, Musk is working to pull every single string he can administratively to keep those damn cars out of The United States.
[02:33:04] Unknown:
Oh, yes. It's ironic, isn't it, that it's from Kenya, which is not a million miles from where he apparently hails from in in Africa. So why doesn't he go there and just work with them? Because banks. Because banks, you see, always always banks. We can't have a don't you think this illustrates that point we're making earlier that people have got solutions, but they can't be implemented because of banks in simple terms. That's that's really what all it's about. Oh, no. You can't. That is gonna affect the market share of our other client. So what? Free enterprise. Tough. What do you wanna sit around making cars for? We don't wanna do that. We wanna actually live a happy life with our families.
You know, let's reduce all the effort to make cars. Let's get one tool around in it. Who cares? It's it's just a weird game that's evolved in the West. It's very weird. Actually,
[02:33:58] Unknown:
manipulating a market and limiting people's ability to access new technology should be considered a crime against humanity because it has absolutely it absolutely flies in the face of a technological advancement and the betterment of society and the human race as a whole. So if they are forcing people to use antiquated an electric an antiquated electrical power grid so they have this electric bill every month instead of having their own energy device either on their block or in their driveway, for god's sake. If they are stopping people from accessing new technology just because they wanna profit from the old stuff that incidentally destroys the planet. Hello.
China's got, what, 6,000 coal fired power plants? But I cannot walk out of a grocery store with my groceries in a plastic t shirt style disposable shopping bag just to save the damn planet?
[02:35:06] Unknown:
It's off. Well, you are a trouble you are a troublemaker, Paul. I think you I absolutely am.
[02:35:12] Unknown:
And I buy those canned things at Amazon 2,000 and a crack, and I use them with impunity and let any one of them try and tell me I can't.
[02:35:22] Unknown:
I mean, it's not to rain not to rain on this car's parade. However, there's a comment here which will not surprise you. Let me just so the company's called Mobius Motors, and this is a comment from four months ago and it says this. I can't check this, so this requires AI fact verification, which of course is highly trustworthy. But nevertheless, it says this. Mobius Motors went into liquidation and was purchased by Middle East financial firm. Well, I never. There is a massive overcapacity in auto manufacturing, especially with BYD, I think that's a Chinese firm, dumping highly subsidized autos throughout the world, probably.
So, if that is true, if a Middle East financial firm boarded up, this would be at the behest of a competitive automaker getting them to buy it up and putting them It absolutely would.
[02:36:17] Unknown:
It have and and And this and that goes right back to what I was saying. They're limiting options because the ones that are already in the place are more profitable, and they are the ones that make the profit.
[02:36:32] Unknown:
Well, this is not dissimilar to the practices that were first started, Paul, in your country back in the late eighteen hundreds when the banks couldn't lend money to anybody because everybody already had loads of money loads of money. Businesses were making so much money. They didn't need to borrow money off a bank. The middle man, this bank thing, is absolutely the scourge of the earth and has been ever since it got going in Babylon two and a half thousand years ago whenever it kicked off. And that's it's exactly the same. They'll they'll put competitors out of business because they'll say, hey. We're a big company and we owe you 5 and a half billion, and if you allow them to exist, we can't pay you back. And they go, oh, yeah. So they'll noble it and they'll use industrial espionage and anything they can to do that because they're all gonna lose their job at the bank. It's just deranged. No wonder we can't actually get on and do anything with this kind of stuff. It's why being a neo Luddite is the way to go, don't you think? We need a whole a worldwide movement of neo Luddites.
If you don't know who Luddites are, it's named after a guy called Ned Ludd. You know that song I played a few weeks ago from, the Divine Comedy? Well, it mentions Ned Ludd in the lyrics because he you know, they had exactly the same issue, different different form, but the same challenge. All these sort of automated looms and shuttles and everything that came in, which were brilliant for reducing the cost of clothes, unfortunately, were kicking people out of work. And it was a much more sensitive issue back then because they didn't have credit cards. There was no loans from the bank for a working family. You just starved to death. So it's a bit more serious, a bit more intense, you know. And that's why they started smashing up, weaving factories and things like this because they'd had enough. I mean, what are people supposed to do? It's because we're not included in the bounty, you see. The bounty is grabbed by a small group, and they go, we'll have all the profits, and you can do all the work. And this mentality, unfortunately, still exists. I mean, I think that goes some way to explaining why conservative MPs, as Liz Truss was talking about, support all this migration stuff because they're making loads of money. I mean, what they're gonna spend it on, I don't know. There won't be anything left being made that you wanna buy. Well, then what's the point of having it?
More cracked glass and steel houses. On a slightly related but parallel, line of thinking with regards to economic structures and things like that, there's a website called opencapital.net. It might be hyphenated. It might be open-capital.net. And it's put together by a guy I know personally. He put it together many, many years ago, a guy called Chris Cook, who used to work for the DTI. And, I haven't spoke to him in quite a few years, but he's a very bright lad. It's written in a kind of government ease, so bear that in mind. But there is an idea that he ran past me in 2004, which I've never had the time to really pick up and also just other things were more interesting. But it does hold an awful lot of it's very interesting, because it's got legal force behind it. So I've mentioned this a little bit before. There's there's a there used to be just limited companies over here up until about 1998 or something.
So if you want to form a corporation, you know, a thing that has a life outside of the individuals and can be taxed and all that, you form a limited company. That's the usual and people are still forming these things. But there was a massive accountancy firm called Arthur Anderson's, which has subsequently gone bust and broke, probably bought up by one of the other big ones. And they had an issue because they had major partners who did not want to be exposed to liability. So they were running a scheme out in Jersey, which is a tax haven. Lots of companies are actually formed over in Jersey for by the same sorts of people that want to avoid participating in the cost but wanna take all the profits.
And it was proven to be quite a problem because, it was working very well, and it was gonna deny the government tax revenue. Now from an honest side, that's wrong. When you've got normal peasants paying tax, it's wrong that multinationals should not pay it. Okay? I mean, I don't believe in tax anyway in the way it's structured, but that's a secondary thought. Anyway, they couldn't they couldn't really deal with it. So the they went to Anders and said, we don't like you doing this. He said, well, we don't care, really. You know?
Well, we want to sort of do a deal. So they came up with this structure called a limited liability partnership. And what it does is it basically indemnifies each of the partners, for the amount of money that they've got in the partnership. They can't be sort of smashed to bits because traditional partners partnerships, you could. You you could go all over the shop with it. Everybody was liable for everything and they had unlimited liability and this was worrying for them, understandably so, I guess. Anyway, Chris, I've been giving this some thought and you'll find a document on the property section on that site, opencapital.net, and, it's to do with housing.
I think this is really cool. I'm gonna try and explain it as best I can in in simple terms. If you wanna if you're a young person in England and Scotland, Wales, in these islands at the moment, you wanna buy a house, you've got all on to be able to do it. First of all, the price of them is through the roof, which is ludicrous. They've been inflating the prices of houses for donkey's years to boast of the money supply blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. And it's very, very difficult. And of course the cost of the housing is also suppressing birth rates because people have got enough on just paying the mortgage, let alone raising a child and stuff. All of these things are by design, of course. What you what you can do with a limited liability partnership is you can form a property partnership in in a way where a person can start to own a house without getting a mortgage.
Have we got have I mentioned this before, Eric? I don't know if I've run this past you before. Have I ever mentioned this before? Silence.
[02:42:28] Unknown:
Oh, you can you hear me, Eric? You okay? Yes. I can hear you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yep. Here you are. I was just Did you nod off? So can you Would I would I do such a thing? No. Live on air? No. I'd never nod off.
[02:42:44] Unknown:
It's alright. It's fine. Well, let me get to the meat of it. So I'll just try and do an example, which is the easiest way to understand it. So it's a way that people can get a foot on the property ownership ladder without a mortgage. Therefore expect hostile maneuvers later on down the line as and when something like this grows. What you do is you have two basically, two types of partner in the partnership. Everybody has to become a partner, I. E. You supply your name and your credentials. Okay? Yes. And you have an investor partner, the people that put up the money to buy the proper the property. There can be tons of these partners, right? So an investor pool known as the investor partner section and you have the occupiers, the people that are gonna live in the property.
Let's suppose it's a £100,000. Can you buy a house in England for a £100,000 these days? Yeah, I suppose you can somewhere. Let's suppose it is. Just keep the math simple. Right? In the olden days So it's a £100,000. And, normally you're gonna have to go off and prove everything and then you get a mortgage. And if you get a mortgage, you pay it back over twenty five years and you're gonna pay somewhere between 250 and 300,000 back on that house. Yippee. That's right. From money that the bank didn't have that they lent you and then they sell the debt onto another company anyway and it's all blah blah blah blah blah blah. So what happens is this, if you say that the rentable value of that house actually, let me give you a better example around here because I've I went past the a house for a half a million quid will go current rental round is about £2,200 a month. Let's call it $2.
Right? It's £2,000 a month to rent a house valued at about half a million round in parts of here. They're not all expensive. And you wanna you wanna live in that house. Well, with the partnership you can so the partnership buys the house and owns a 100% of it and you, as the occupier partner, have to pay the £2,000 a month's rent. Okay? But you can overpay. You can even you might even be stipulated to put a small deposit down to allow you into the scheme. Let's call it that. It's a it's a partnership scheme. So they might say to you look we've got we we need to know that you're a serious partner so you've got to put up at least 2%, that's $10. You've got to find $10 in savings, yeah, and then you can come in as the renter and away you go. Now what happens is the $10 that you put into the house at this starting point means that you own 2% of it. That's how it it's like a sliding scale.
Ah. So you're actually only gonna yeah. You're you're gonna pay rent on the 98% that you don't own. So whatever 98% is of £2,000, which is less than £2,000. What is that? Whatever it is. Is it £40 off? Something like that, right? What's 1% of £2,020? So it's 40 you pay 1,960. You don't pay 2,000 because you you're not gonna rent stuff that you already own. If you if you overpay, which you can and are encouraged to do, you own more of the percent of the house. The faster you over it's like a sliding scale, yeah, between the bit that's got to be rented because you don't own it and the little bit in the early days that you do own. But you are given an idea Yes.
Yeah. You're given permission to just basically over purchase and you can keep doing that all the time. And of course the more of it that you yes, so when you've put in say $250 you're now only paying a thousand pound a month's rent because there's only half the house that you don't own in simple terms, right? Yes. And it means loads and loads of people could get on the property ladder without a mortgage.
[02:46:30] Unknown:
And they did that in the nineties. That's right. It's it they did it in the nineteen thirties. Sorry. I didn't I didn't mean to talk across you then, but my father used to talk about this. Rent to buy, it was called.
[02:46:40] Unknown:
Right. Well, I mean, it's cool. Whatever the structure was back then, this is just an under a partnership arrangement. So you've always got a stake in it. If, for example, one month you can't pay the rent, let's suppose you now own $40 of this half a million pound house, you can't pay the rent. All that happens is your ownership goes down by the value of £1,960 or whatever the rent would have been that month because you'll pay it. So you're having to rent the bit that you don't own because there's a capital investment that goes into the scheme as a whole, which is being used to buy more properties to bring more people to come in to get their foot on the property ladder.
Makes sense, doesn't it? That wasn't too complicated. Sense.
[02:47:19] Unknown:
Or for years. You see, when I started off in the industry, they said that I never forget the lecture saying, was it I think the building industry, the second largest employer in the country. I can't remember. I think the first is a health service. And he said, you'll always find a bigwig in, standing in the wings that you don't quite see of every political party. And he said, there are two types of political parties in this country, and and this was in the seventies. He said this, the road builders and the house builders. And if you're into house building, you vote for the house builders. And if you're to road building, you vote for the road builders. He said because you'll find that people like McAlpine and that always near the top and pulling strings government. Mhmm. Now for years, what the building industry has done is they've prevented mass produced houses because every house is primitive.
It's a one off because, look at these horrible stack up block estates. They're really, really dreadful. But in the sixties, they did try an experiment, but again the building industry clamped down on it, where, they did what they do in, Greece, and that is you buy the land and then you buy and then you build a house on it. And they do this in Germany where, you can order a house, you get the foundation laid down, and then they will come and build that house in about two days. Just straight up. And it's like a a a a timber frame property.
[02:49:01] Unknown:
Straight up. Sears did that. Sears Roebuck did that. You could buy a piece of land and then build and then buy a kit house. It was delivered. All the pieces that you would need to assemble it yourself That's it. Were delivered to your property.
[02:49:18] Unknown:
Yeah. And it was it would take something like a day and a half or two days, and that that would you you it it go up like a rocket. And, there's a company that did it, and they did this do this in Germany today.
[02:49:31] Unknown:
Well, I mean, you know, the example I gave is probably the most expensive way of doing it, buying an existing property that's on the market. Right? But what you're talking about, and I think in that paper it covers that, you buy the land. And you have a developer build it and therefore the house that's that would be valued at 500 is not that's not the sales price because it's part of in other words you have a developer partner that builds these things they make their modest operating profit without it going to market where it's beefed up by the middleman, which is what happens all the bloody time. As I've said yeah. As I've said sorry. Again, I didn't mean to sharmen. I thought I said many times is I'm very,
[02:50:10] Unknown:
I believe that the building regulations should be strict because that's building regulations are for how our health and safety. So, yes, let's let's make sure that the and nowadays, they privatize building inspectors so houses are not being inspected like they used to. And Yeah. I think we're gonna have a disaster soon. I really I hope I'm totally wrong, but I think we are because it's all for profit. And they have university students coming round who are just swinging out a university that knows subtle what they're looking at. Whereas once upon a time, you'd have an ex builder who would become the building inspector. He knew his stuff, and he knew all the tricks of the trade. So he knew if someone's trying to pull pull the wool over his eyes. And what a good building inspector did was show you a cheap way of doing it or a better way of doing whatever it is you're you're doing on they were there to help.
Now they're not. They're there to make a profit. But I believe, yes, in in in not privatizing the the building inspectors, but, burning and a huge bonfire of planning regulations because it's a law under its own, and it should be simplified, and buildings should be what the local community and the local people want, not what they don't want, what we've got at the moment. Because huge property developers have taken it over, and this is what I'm against, the property developers. Because I think you should be able to say buy a plot of land, and it's so complex and complex, the building rig the planning rigs. It's ridiculous.
And then have, like, you you go along to, to IKEA and you get, like, a book, and you open it up and say, oh, yes. I'd like that there, and I'd like that color droof, and I'd like this and that. And they've got a law in Australia in one of the states where two houses next to each other must not look the same. They've gotta be different. Every house has gotta be different to make it and they've got to be such a certain distance away from the road. And this is all part of their their their and that simplify the regulations all the way through. The other thing they do is have a tunnel along the side of the road that all the services go down. So they very rarely dig up a road if anything goes wrong, like water or electricity, because it all goes down a service channel, and it just needs some poser. I just go down the tunnel and, fix the problem. And this is why you don't get road ups and things like that. The idea of burying water and electricity is ridiculous. It's bonkers. Yep. Why can't I go down a service tunnel?
[02:52:51] Unknown:
A whole lot. Well, I know a little I know a little group around here that are looking to buy some land to do a kind of community development. I don't like the word community, but we all know what we mean. I don't know. It just makes me feel funny. It always makes me think of sort of dead counsellors and things like this. Yeah. And all that. You know what I mean? There's something immediately sort of not romantically fun about it. It's immediately sort of procedural and administrative and tedious. I immediately like, who the can we find some different words? But getting together like in a housing club is much more I prefer the word club. So if you get together in one of these sort of housing club partnership things, that would be the way to go. It re I mean, I just think it would. And there's, you know, although many people are brassic lint and we're told the economy is suffering and it is, there are still people with sitting on considerable sums of dead capital in the sense that it's not really earning very much and they would like to do something with it. And I think another thing is that when people get wealthy towards the tail end of their life, this is another way in which it could be organized. I mean, there's so many people that pass away without a will and the government absorbs all this stuff through inheritance tax and all these other things that we're not funding ourselves properly and we are also faced with people that are coming here that do organize themselves economically. If you go if you go to opencapital.net, you'll find a paper on Islamic banking.
And I mentioned it here before. In principle, it's sounder, way sounder than what we are allowed to have. It's just hideous. I agree with that. It's just insult to bloody injury. Yeah. It's absolutely the case. And they structure loans in a different way or at least they say they do. They're they're, you know, they've got the same disease now going on. They just can't make enough money. And it's this compulsion, this love of making money that's producing a lack of real wealth in the world. It is drug addiction. It's like keeping score, I've got all this in the bank well it's no bloody use there to you mate. I mean what you know why do you need it all? What's that old thing you know money money piled up in one place smells like shit spread around everything grows and mechanisms like this are needed. So I've been talking to my sons about it because one of my sons is sort of well up on property and stuff like this and doing things with it. And I said we really need to get something going with this. I mean I'm not really an administrative board. I sort of start getting sheets of paper and I go bloody hell I've got a plan for this crap. I hate it. Right? But but I know people that are good with that and sort of thrive on it and you need to have some of those people in there. And I think if it was made plain and simple, here's the avenue for our people to get on the housing ladder so they can start to have families. I know it's a small little thing that we're just talking about here, but it's simply a matter of actions. If there is land available to buy and you can get a clutch of developer partners, builders and the like, and architects that can design the houses to your wishes, you should be able to get built a lot lot less expensively than buying an existing one and build good quality housing as you see fit as long as all the numbers are known beforehand.
I just I love the idea of That's right. You've mentioned rent to buy and somebody else I think Alvin Kirk, somebody else mentioned rent to buy in the chat. That's basically it. You rent the house that you don't own, the part of the house that you don't own, which in the early stage will be the bulk of it, but you always have the option to overpay. And so you're encouraged to do that and everybody's happy about that because you're reducing the rental part down and you're providing more money back into the partnership so they can build another house for the next guy to come along and set up alongside you. Yeah but not only that.
[02:56:20] Unknown:
Yeah. But the houses, it should I mean, I'm very much into feng shui. A house should blend with the countryside and hillside. You look at an old country village where you got the church steeple and things like that. The house is blended in. So I I strongly believe that local materials should be used. Like, for example, once upon a time, you took a picture of anywhere in a country, you'd say, oh, yes. I know where that house is. It's the Cotswolds because they're using Cotswolds stone. Or that's in Devon because they got beautiful, well, it's actually mud, actually.
But, you know, they got these beautiful old cottages. Yeah. Now you could take a picture anywhere, and the houses are bland and the same. You go to a shopping center. You could be anywhere in this country, go anywhere in Europe for that matter, and the shopping centers are exactly the same wherever you go. I want to start something against bland architecture. To me, you should it should beautify and enhance the land. That's what buildings should do. You look along, and amongst the trees and the flowers, and where you've got woods and trees and things like that, this is what we we need. We're humans, and we need to look out on a wooded area or or countryside.
Towns actually, I think they, they're like prisons, and this is where you got communism come from, I think. Town is people that don't like beauty and don't like countryside.
[02:57:55] Unknown:
Yeah. This makes people mentally ill. It I really do I mean, I'm not there's lot lots of friends of mine that that live in towns, yes, But I really do believe that cities make people mentally sick. I really do. Oh, they they absolutely do. We've not been living in them really that long. I mean, there's always been a part of the population that did going all the way back to Rome. Right? But the vast majority of people did not to the degree that they do now and the urban landscape and all that kind of stuff. I mean, we could, you know, you couldn't help the whole they're always saying, well, there's a housing crisis shortage. No. They're in. There's a it's both common sense shortage. You're right. It's not it everybody they address they even describe problems.
The way that they describe the problem is a problem in itself because it's miss it's intentionally misleading. And what you're talking about all this blandness is about the centralization of control which is the centralization of capital which is the easiest way for them to hive it off. That's, you know, why do you have That's right. When you have counties. I mean, I would if you're gonna have building regulations, have them on a county basis. We live here in Devon. We've got this type of stone or whatever it is that's readily available. We insist that you use it. Why? Because it's actually great. It'll keep the houses down. We can we can house our people, the Vonians or whatever you call more easily. And same in Yorkshire and Worcestershire and wherever it is. It'd be much and then we'd go around England like it used to be like you were saying with all these different types of quirky architecture which is why people got the bloody Cotswolds now.
They're just telling you something else. Well, so
[02:59:31] Unknown:
we're coming to the end of the show now but what I was going to say look at Letchworth Gardens City from the Sea of Architecture done in the Edwardian times nineteen o seven. Beautiful. Yep. There we go. Yeah. Wonderful.

Well, thank you very much, Eric and Paul for being with us, on the show this evening. Apologies for our little technical trouser moments this evening. It's It's been, quite, bit of a bit of a boisterous pub tonight. People coming in and out, going and not rocking up and all this sorts of stuff, but never mind. It's been fun. Thank you very much for being with us for the last three hours. We will, of course, be back here again same time next week. Have a cracking week and, we'll have some more interesting things to talk about next week as things develop, I think. So that's gonna be something to look forward to. Go safe, be good and stay happy, because why not? It's best it's best sort of policy I think right now. Thanks everybody in chat, rumble, and YouTube. We'll see you all again next week. Bye for now everyone. Bye bye.

[03:00:52] Unknown:
We're off. Yeah. We're off. I think we're nice to be on the show. Network.
[03:00:56] Unknown:
Those were great people. I don't know. Oh, that's nice to say that. I I I Yes. We are. Very I thought very funny. Very funny. Well, that's bloody very close. You know, I've checked it out, and the network I'm on, which is smart, which is EE, because my router is not plugged in as such. It's, you know, it uses, a SIM card. It's like a phone router. There's been a major outage on EE tonight, and it would happen at the time, the worst time, which was about quarter past eight when we came on air. And it was about quarter Not to worry. Yeah. These things happen. They just do happen. It's okay. It's cool. What what happened, last night, there was something I I think it's been ongoing a long time because it took me where was it now? Took me six hours to download Monday's show.
Six hours. It was so slow. So there's Right. There is Speed up now.
[03:01:55] Unknown:
There's been funny things going on. My machine's been playing up and I'm seriously, I'm gonna have to buy another I can't actually switch away from Windows for the show. Well, I can, but I've got to buy a physical mix and the I just can't be arsed. This actually works. So I'm gonna strip down most of the things I run on this Windows computer. I'm gonna get another one. This one will be my broadcasting thing, which seems a bit excessive, but I think I can do that. And I'm I'm switching over to Linux. I've been looking at the the problem the sound setup on Linux is a bloody nightmare. It really it's just awful. There's so many bits I need that just don't exist. Oh, printers as well. So now a printer on Linux is a is a nightmare.
[03:02:33] Unknown:
I used to be into Linux. That was Ubuntu, and that's the best one to get because it's it's more common than chips. And if anything goes wrong, you can always find, answers to it. But, I double booted. So I would either when it started up, I'd either boot into Windows or Linux. And I
