On this lively Thursday 6 November edition of Paul English Live, Eric von Essex drops by for tea-fuelled banter, tech gremlins and all, before we dive into plans for an Alternative Remembrance on Monday 10 November (with a birdsong minute at 11:00) and a possible live hour at 11:00 on Tuesday 11 November. We wander from Earl Grey vs rooibos to bike lights and fireworks on Bonfire Night, then swing into heavier territory with Eli James on Venezuela, sabre‑rattling and the perennial distraction of war. I share thoughts from Liz Truss’s recent media turns, central‑bank power, the civil service machine and migration, plus a street‑level clip by Robin Pickett that has been resonating.

Hour two and three range widely: feminism and falling birth rates, dating culture, Windows vs Linux, the maddening over‑engineering of modern cars and a charming $5k African EV, silver and sodium battery talk, and a rent‑to‑buy partnership idea for housing that could help young families. We close on craftsmanship, model railways, York Minster and Letchworth’s garden‑city spirit—the slower, more beautiful England many of us still crave—sprinkled with bluegrass covers of Walking After Midnight and Sweet Child O’ Mine for good measure.

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, which 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 here in the Old England? Good evening.  



[00:02:26] Unknown:

I'm I'm absolutely spiffing and jolly beezer.   My my whistle is rather moist. I'm using   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. Burn   you either love it or you hate it. But,   I'm not you know, I'm you know what I mean? I have that. Have you tried Rhubosh? You get it in, oh, you can get it. It's a bit it's a bit perfumey if you I found if you get it in Aldi's. A little sell it. How do you spell it? I always believe it. I know. How do you spell it?   Small   palette. 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.   I don't think my cat likes it. Yes. It's, it's called   r r, double o, I b o s.   It's the rebos. R, double o? But you got the sack with the South African accent.  

[00:03:30] Unknown:

Ruhr,  

[00:03:31] Unknown:

Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, Ruhr, r,   No. No. R, 00,   I B 0 S.   R. It's it's sometimes called Redbush.  

[00:03:39] Unknown:

Right.  

[00:03:41] Unknown:

I B O S. And   Well, we're lucky to have some Afrikaans. Very tasty. You get it. We need an Afrikaans interpreter, don't we? Isn't that what we need? We lead enough Afrikaans into Rooibos. We do. Yes. Rooibos.  

[00:03:53] Unknown:

I quite like that. The Rooibos.  

[00:03:55] Unknown:

That's what it is.   I'd I don't think my cat We used to work with our Rhodesian chap, you see.   What? Rhubarb's tea?  

[00:04:05] Unknown:

Your cat likes that. 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.  

[00:04:24] Unknown:

I say, yes.   Well, it could possibly be First to introduce me to it. This is wrong apart from the cat. This would be wrong, wouldn't it?  

[00:04:33] Unknown:

Yeah. That would be wrong. Well, I I used to work with a,   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 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 was off our seats with laughter. And I don't know the reason why, because it's not really funny. You know? I was I was lying on my bicycle, and I saw either I know in Hippo. And we was absolutely crying. He 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, no. That's that's,  

[00:05:15] Unknown:

a rosy like any rabbi I've met. But then I have to say, I've not really met many rabbis, so I wouldn't really know. I'm not an expert on how those I've often met any only vowel sound or the main vowel sound in is   an e sound.   It's   That's right. Everything's e. Yes. Isn't   it? And and it was, of course, it was a rather mild 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. Yes. I like it a lot.  

[00:05:48] Unknown:

Yes. I kinda like it. Yeah. Yes. 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, they they have a 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 blokes accent that just gave here a funny bone. And I really can't know. I really do not know the reason why.   It's just so many of the way he said things. I thought that's just why it was funny.  



[00:06:25] Unknown:

Some people are just naturally funny and they don't know it. 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 really, isn't it? Yes.  

[00:06:34] Unknown:

It is, actually. Yes. You said, I'm fed up with you taking the piss out of me, you know.  

[00:06:43] Unknown:

Any has there anything anything going on in the world this week, Eric? I mean, I'm no. I haven't paid attention to it. Something must have happened. Anything gone on? I'll tell you what happened in my   I went out for a walk this morning. Yes, sir. 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 Mhmm.   Within the first   200 yards of walking, I had four conversations.   Four.  

It took me half an hour to Really? End of the Yeah.   Yeah.   I think I must have a sign in 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 maybe Half an hour. 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 be now, I got the 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. He 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.  

It 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. It was quite sweet. That's a good idea. 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,  

[00:08:35] Unknown:

because it's very warm today. I don't know what it was like with you. We always talk about the weather this week. Oh, it was fantastic. It was brilliant. Yeah. Wasn't it? Yeah. Lovely and 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. Yeah. So I just, like, walk instead.   I don't know why. It's just a psychological thing. It's A cycle a cycle. A cycle. A cycle. A  

[00:09:07] Unknown:

cycle. Yeah. I've smashed more bikes up riding in the dark than I ever did in the day. It's because you hit a pothole, and I I need a buckling Yeah. And actually it's a long time since about fifteen years back. I was we were tramming along at some speed and somebody 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 buggery. Oh, that was a fun night. Oh. Yes. It's difficult but modern lights on bikes are pretty amazing.   They sort of light up half of the countryside. They're stunning. Absolutely amazing things. The I've I've used some mountain biking and they have 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  

[00:09:42] Unknown:

lights up. It's like a helicopter going through the woods. That was pretty cool, actually. Yeah. I like that. Yeah. I mean, I could have done it. You know, I have done it in the past, but, 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 the background   because, I don't I don't wear any sort of a luminous vest or anything like that unless it's at night. Then I wear an aluminous one.  

[00:10:10] Unknown:

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 Eurofote Radio, and Holy Land Radio, and Eurofote Radio, and Global Voice Network.   Look, I'm remembering 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?  

[00:10:35] Unknown:

No.   So the thing is,   I don't actually buy any fruit. You see, when you buy it, you wear a lighter, you gotta put something like a banana and a couple of apples down here in front of the drink. Not if you're from Yorkshire, you don't.   I don't like to do things like that.   But, by the way, we might have 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.  

[00:11:05] Unknown:

Oh, this is even joining us after after nine. Yeah. Alright. Okay. Yeah. Well, that's very interesting. We're gonna be that's even more packed because,   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. 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, wouldn't it? As long as it's not, yes, as long as it's just a burp, nothing is lost. 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 I think, but we'll 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 the chart 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 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 wit 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, some 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 to talk about shorts. That lasted fifteen minutes. He's flitting off to Australia in his shorts.  

Sorry.  

[00:13:32] Unknown:

Oh, blimey. You got you got something there, hadn't you? Yes. Well, you know, whilst you choke to death,   I'll,   regarding shorts,   no. Better not tell that joke about the Irishman going out on top of a bus. No. No. No. Better better not say that one. Well, that's a lot better.   No. I'm bad. Oh, is that a lot better? Yes. Yeah. Wow. That's good. Surprised. 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 it's a bit of a smutty 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   either 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.   So,  

[00:14:30] Unknown:

what do you mean that? Because the eleventh is Tuesday, isn't it? The eleventh would be Tuesday   is the So, Is that right? Are you doing a show on Tuesday?   He said still chosen. Why do I I sound like that old blow. I don't know. Are you doing a hard Tuesday?  

[00:14:46] Unknown:

Well, no. Actually, we're gonna do it on Monday   beforehand.   Okay. So it'll be the Monday the   where is it now? The tenth, I think it is. So I'm 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 sorry. 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. And 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 know that. Yeah. Well, hopefully So the Yeah. Hopefully, you don't get amnesia about the show and forget to do it. I mean, that would be although it would illustrate It might do. Yes. Fairly well, wouldn't it? It would illustrate the point well. 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.  

[00:16:08] Unknown:

So I might do that on the Tuesday. So Oh. Still tune in. 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 won't be bad, would it? That would be brilliant. That really would be brilliant. We can go out. So we all get out here on WBN. I think their schedules all full ups,   but, we could go Oh, that's very kind. Thanks, Paul. Well, we can stick it over a couple of YouTube channels. I'll 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 run for a breakfast show. So Brilliant. I'll do that. That would be fun. That'd be fantastic. Yeah. Because I always start it off with a minute of hearing birdsong  

[00:16:49] Unknown:

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 light hearted. So I really look forward to that. Thanks, Paul. That's much appreciated. I look that's fantastic. Yeah. What year You're all short, 2001?  

[00:17:13] Unknown:

'25. 2025.   '25. So it's And it's exactly  

[00:17:17] Unknown:

eighty years since World War two, isn't it?  

[00:17:20] Unknown:

Ended.   Ended. So it is. You know, I've forgotten about that. And World War three started.   I suppose. That's right. It's back to back. Yes.   Straight off. Straight into the whole thing. Absolutely.   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   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. Yeah. We can talk about that. Well, fun's probably the wrong word. That would be a good thing to do.   So that will be a good thing to do. Yeah. I look forward to that.  



[00:18:00] Unknown:

And it's always an alternative one. So it's it's very different to what you'd   the the official stuff. Yeah. Often controversial.   So what? He says this, so that's so it is it's gonna 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? Yeah. So there we go. Hello. Eli's just mentioned that so that is it's World War three starting next weekend. Oh. Can you put it off, mate? Because we wanna do our show. I'm gonna bring Eli in now. Let me just add him to the stage.  

[00:18:33] Unknown:

You're an early bird, Eli. I we're we're having mayhem here in the studio tonight. We're completely oversubscribed with everybody's rocking, but it's great to have you. How are you, anyway?  

[00:18:44] Unknown:

I'm I'm I'm fret I'm fretting about the start of World War three, but but go ahead. Are you? 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.  

[00:19:07] 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.   Is that the next Tuesday you guys are talking about? Alternative remembrance? I I can't I can't hear you. The voice is your voice is breaking up. Oh. Is that better? Oh, really? Okay.  

[00:19:32] Unknown:

I'm hearing you, nice and clear. You're fine, Neil. I think there must have just been a bit of Internet there for Eric. Is it cleared up a bit for you  

[00:19:42] Unknown:

right now? Is it okay? Can can can you hear it, Paul? Can you hear me? Yeah. Yeah. Because I I can't. It it's breaking up. Okay.  

[00:19:48] Unknown:

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. Oh, interesting. My entire window system shut down today. Oh, that's right. First time ever.  

[00:20:14] Unknown:

So yeah. First, I mean, for I've had this Didn't you have that problem?   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 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. Oh, yeah. They they've got all these subscription services. They wanna tap you up for $5 a month here and $6 a month there, and I'm just sick of all that nonsense. I don't know what to say. Be spied on. Well, you've been spied anyway. I don't wanna pay to be yeah. We're being paid. You're right. We're paying to be spied on. This is just outrageously wrong. There you go. If they're gonna they should be paying us to spy on us. Surely, we should get a spy fee, shouldn't we? They're the spies, and we're the spies.  

Something like that. Yeah. Right.  

[00:21:23] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, Eric, can you hear me any better now or what?  

[00:21:29] Unknown:

No. I think it's an Eric issue, actually. Eric, are you okay?   He's disappeared.  

[00:21:34] Unknown:

[00:22:01] Unknown:

[00:22:13] Unknown:

Yeah. Maybe,   Eric, maybe you could just reboot.  

[00:22:17] Unknown:

Eric, why don't you leave the studio Yeah. Back in again? You might just go back to the call. Is that okay, Paul? I'll I'll come out and I'll come back in. How's that? Yeah. Cool.  

[00:22:26] Unknown:

[00:22:29] Unknown:

up? No. You're fine. No. I I I hear him fine.  

[00:22:33] Unknown:

Yep. We hear you fine.  

[00:22:35] Unknown:

It's it's with his audio. It's with his audio.   So sometimes you just have to reboot   to make things work right again. Yeah. Well, the wonders of live Yeah.  

[00:22:45] Unknown:

Paul, shall I reboot?  

[00:22:47] Unknown:

I don't think you need to reboot. I think you need to Or is it me? Me. Come out.   Because I just can't hear Eli at all. You're just breaking up. You come through, Paul, very loud and clear. Yeah. Yeah. We're on a bit of a time lag even with you, Eric. If 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 clear you don't you shouldn't have to do a reboot for this. It's,   you know.  

[00:23:09] Unknown:

Okay. Get the hell out of  

[00:23:11] Unknown:

here. He's on a big he's very delayed even talking to me. So there's something going on, I think, with everything. Everybody else's has got proper It's weird. I've got proper British Internet, but he's been using that flaky fuck them all Internet service, and that's what's going on. Yeah. And he's letting us you know, it's terrible. What what am I supposed to do? It's going it's going through Israel. Do you mind if I drink my tea before it goes cold? I've got a huge vat of Earl Grey tea here. And I just realized I ignored it and it's getting cold. This is no good.   Yeah. I didn't slurp though, did I? I I could add slurps for, to add atmosphere and stuff like that. But, yeah. Yeah. Eric is muttering to himself. I can hear that. Mhmm. But he's not hearing me. I don't know.  

Is Eric hearing you okay? No. He's not. He he's not in the studio anymore at the moment. Eli. Oh, he's not in there. I see. No. He's cleared off. He's he's gone off. He's he's I think he's gone for a pound. So it's   Fockham's best bitter. He just needs a couple of beers inside him. He'll be fine. And then we should get some proper beers. The other  

[00:24:12] Unknown:

the other Paul is asking you a question, I think.  

[00:24:15] Unknown:

Sorry. I'm talking so much. Yeah. American Paul.  

[00:24:20] Unknown:

Yeah. Who are you?  

[00:24:22] Unknown:

Anyway What are you doing? Paul.  

[00:24:25] Unknown:

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. Right. Maybe maybe he's still using Windows.  

[00:24:37] Unknown:

I bet. Eric. Okay. Eric, are you picking us all up properly? He's back on stage now. Eric, welcome back to the studio. How are you doing? Have you put your trousers on now?  

[00:24:49] Unknown:

It it it gotta get laterhosen.   You gotta get laterhosen. They they repel the, vibrations of the, air.  

[00:24:58] Unknown:

Okay. Yeah. I think it it might have to reboot. He's definitely having serious Internet   issues at the moment. Yeah. He's back on stage, but we might even hear him. So there's something going on. Yeah.  

[00:25:08] Unknown:

Yeah. It's reboot.   My my Beck, whenever I have a problem like this, I just automatically reboot.  

[00:25:14] Unknown:

Yeah. I think it's a conspiracy. I really do. Yeah. Oh, what isn't a conspiracy?  

[00:25:20] Unknown:

Exactly. Okay.   What isn't 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   Donald Trump, who I'm gonna   call Trumpstein from now on. Oh, that's a bit rude. Because it he's steen? Yeah. Because he's a he's a shill for the bad guys. No doubt about it.   Really?   Yeah.   Right? Right? 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 whale. He he's he's a decidedly ambivalent figure, isn't he? And,  

[00:26:05] Unknown:

Oh, yeah. For most people. Yes. He is. Because, I mean, it's a bit like,   clocks, you know, stop clocks being run 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 he got, no. No. No. Definitely not ever, ever, ever.   And Did he say that? 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.  

And that's 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 it. But Oh, man. What's the I mean, the idea that he's in charge is just it's nonsense, like a bloody comic book. And a bad comic book of that, comic books have actually got more intelligence than this sort of stuff. It's ridiculous.  

[00:27:01] Unknown:

Yeah. Well, every a a a human marionette bouncing up and down on the strings of his handlers,   it's gotta make him dizzy.   Mhmm. Right? 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 Yeah. Because then 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.  

[00:27:26] Unknown:

It is. Yes. It is. I I thought the really Mhmm. 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 a thing about this. Oh. Paul, you're within earshot of New York, aren't you? You're you're within the environment. Oh, yes. 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 alone in that role. Or am I am I I got a I got a question.  

[00:28:00] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[00:28:02] Unknown:

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?  

[00:28:16] Unknown:

I don't know. I don't even think he should be sworn in as mayor.   I Yeah. I just agree with you. 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.  

Natural not gonna do that. And He's not gonna That would eliminate   all oh, that Omar would be gone.   Yeah. 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 globalists.  

[00:29:31] Unknown:

So Right. Well, Nancy Pelosi's gone. She just retired. That's good.  

[00:29:36] Unknown:

Check check it off.   She's she's probably sitting in her comfy leather California. Was she at California? Yeah. She's in California.   Right. Yeah. She's probably camped out in her comfy easy chair surrounded by gourmet ice cream.  

[00:29:51] Unknown:

Trying to pick which flavor she's good to sample. Oh, that sounds quite appealing, actually. I I I we got a number. I won't mind going over and hanging out with her for gourmet ice cream. That sounds quite appealing, Paul. That's that's quite nice. Well Yeah. That was that was the ridiculous stuff that was going on during COVID.  

[00:30:08] Unknown:

I mean, she's in lockdown.   I mean, people are hungry because they can't work.   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   when everybody else ice cream?   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 Well, when you're  

[00:30:54] Unknown:

when you're that humanly disfigured,   you need, frequent changes of hairstyle.  

[00:31:01] Unknown:

Yeah. I guess. No. I didn't use the word distract people from the wrinkles.  

[00:31:06] Unknown:

Right. There you 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.  

[00:31:18] Unknown:

So yeah. What's been the, Oh. Oh. Wait a minute. The kind of response I I was watching Oh, sorry.  

[00:31:25] Unknown:

I I was oh, I gotta share this.  

[00:31:31] Unknown:

This is really exciting. It's a it's  

[00:31:34] Unknown:

no. It's it's a commercial.   It's for a face cream.   I don't remember   what it's for a moisturizer.   Okay.   And they say one of the ingredients   is hydrourea.   And that's why it moisturizes   so well.  

[00:31:56] Unknown:

You mean freaking   urine?  

[00:32:00] Unknown:

Yes. Yes. Of course it is. It's got this in it. They call it hydro  

[00:32:04] Unknown:

urea.  

[00:32:05] Unknown:

So, oh my god. I gotta get some of that.  

[00:32:09] Unknown:

Right. People are so ridiculous.   Yeah. Right. You can ingest it too.   Right? Just looking to put it on your board.   This shows you how great I am. Give me more of that. Oh, well, that reminded me 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   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.   Hallucinate. Right. 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.  



[00:33:00] 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. It isn't. I don't want one. Yeah. Nonstop.  

[00:33:17] Unknown:

Non stop.  

[00:33:19] Unknown:

I Yeah. I mean, we just, interacting with that at 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 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.  

[00:34:02] Unknown:

No. No? No. He's not my mayor. He's No. He's the New York City.   Mhmm.   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. I mean, we we've we   we disavowed   them   a long time ago.   Right. We   we ex patriated them. We,  

[00:34:40] 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 No. 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? Walkies.  



[00:35:23] Unknown:

Walkies.  

[00:35:25] Unknown:

I know.  

[00:35:27] Unknown:

Honkies. I don't I don't  

[00:35:29] Unknown:

know. It's not far out of the 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 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 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 going to 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.   She 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 my lighting 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.  

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 it. 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 in 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 up. Now, when they were talking about the government of the Bank of England,   the interviewer said she said, you know, the 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, 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. Yeah. 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. Right. They're the ones that are giving the dictated orders to the political,   actors 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 don't 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, but 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,   if 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, he 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 there's it's this cast of characters, whoever they ultimately may be, that need to be,   the public need 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. Not anymore.  



[00:40:51] Unknown:

What we used to have is civil service exams. Anybody that wanted it wanted an office or 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 dig that anymore.   I just don't. No. Yep.  

[00:41:12] Unknown:

Why not? Well, here. 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?  



[00:42:02] Unknown:

Newly resettled? Injected into white aliens.  

[00:42:06] Unknown:

Right? Yeah. Like a   virus. Prosthetically   active in society.  

[00:42:10] Unknown:

To a people that they should be part of. Right. Yeah. It's it's Yeah. It's like a like a fungus.  

[00:42:17] Unknown:

It is. Right. Like a like a fungus.  

[00:42:20] Unknown:

A humongous fungus among us. Yeah. 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've 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.  



[00:43:05] Unknown:

Yep.  

[00:43:07] Unknown:

Yep. Okay. Well, one of the one of the points So yours  

[00:43:10] Unknown:

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, whatever you want there.   Right. Is that huge Encumbrance. That 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  

[00:43:49] Unknown:

it's just  

[00:43:51] Unknown:

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 Paul.   You know.  

[00:44:01] Unknown:

Paul and Paul.   Which biblical character does this remind you of?  

[00:44:08] Unknown:

Which bit?   Someone standing in the way. His name be  

[00:44:13] Unknown:

no. No. Who who is   a traitor to his own people   for whatever.   His name begins with e. Oh. Oh, that that's well, he came later. He came later. How about Jacob's brother,   the race trader?  

[00:44:29] Unknown:

This is true.   Yep.   Esau.   Mhmm. Right?  

[00:44:33] 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.   Yep. At our expense.  

[00:44:47] Unknown:

Absolutely.   Yeah. It it's I mean, it's Isn't it simple?   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. Yeah. The thing is, she was mocked and pilloried more than this oath that Xin has ever been. She was only in Paris 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. Right. It's not as if I'm a big Liz Trust 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 the pointing to the real problem area. I 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.   What?   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 lines 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. Right. 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   attempts of Guido Forks, Guy Fawkes,   to blow up the houses of parliament.   Of course, it's more from recent times.   People actually go out to firework displays to talk about how 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. Well, 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.  

Jeez, 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 hardworking 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. 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.  

[00:49:44] Unknown:

Yeah. Because they're making money doing it. Yeah. Who who might be paying them? Who might be, creating money out of nothing   to bribe all of these politicians to be traitors to their own people?  

[00:49:57] Unknown:

Well, I don't know. Which which  

[00:50:00] Unknown:

okay. Well, you're a We're making speeches.  

[00:50:03] Unknown:

We could speculate. I mean, the one I mean, one of my well, I do, but I don't really, don't we don't need to really plunge into that one because I think I'm guessing it. 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, 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   Uh-huh. 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. But 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  

[00:51:05] Unknown:

Starting to hurt. Yep.   Absolutely. 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's a a Mexican. Probably don't speak English.  

[00:51:22] Unknown:

Right.  

[00:51:22] Unknown:

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.  

[00:51:31] Unknown:

Well, they're not really invade I mean, I know I mean, they use that phrase over here invaders,   but are they 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 Yeah. The there's no you know, it's designed to create the Rook by this other force in the background.   There's no Oh, 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 Yes. 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 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 in 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 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 wanna 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 I think that penny is dropping now with more and more people. You've seen 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. Oh, we're getting somewhere. Yeah. We're getting somewhere. We are. I wanna 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  

[00:54:49] 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 if 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   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. Yeah. After 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 yeah. I'll be honest. I'm really sick of it. I'm sick of us being exceptionalized.   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.  

[00:56:43] 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 other guys that are carpenters. They turned out to be pretty cool too. I'm breaking up.   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. It it 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 gonna happen. It's absolutely gonna happen. I was so 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 only been listened to by a couple of thousand people, of course, at the moment, but I need to publicize it more. It it's just   I just think it's spot on. The guys in the street, there's a lot of guys in the street, 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.  

[00:58:58] Unknown:

Okay. Alright.   Oh, okay.   Eric said in the chat room have changed,   but somebody named Chris says, thanks, Eli. I've changed browsers.  

[00:59:09] Unknown:

It's Well, Eric, you're back in the studio. Are you with us? Are you back in the studio? I'm back. I'm back. Oh, yeah. I've I've managed to get on. I've come off the,  

[00:59:18] Unknown:

Chrome and I'm on some this Microsoft   thing and it seems to be working. I do apologize.   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. You got a great deal. I'm sorry, 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.   So somebody sent the withering comment, Eric, in in one of the chats, a boomer tech. Yeah. I I No. Boomer tech. You're a boomer tech. See? And you don't understand exactly what it is. Wouldn't work wouldn't wouldn't hack it. So I'm I'm on I'm using the old one.  

[01:00:00] Unknown:

Okay. Yeah. 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.   Two songs. Yeah. They're all about walking. They're fiddle tunes. They're bluegrass tunes because I'm gonna enter this at the moment. So you that's it. 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.  

[01:02:44] 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.   I go out walking   after midnight searching for   you.   Stops to see a weeping widow   crying on his pillow. Maybe he's crying for me.   And as the skies turn gloomy, night birds whisper to me  

[01:03:56] Unknown:

me.  

[01:04:02] Unknown:

Stop to see a weeping willow, crying on his pillow. Maybe he's crying for me.   And as the skies turn gloomy, night burst wizardry   and lonesome as I can be.   I go out walking   after midnight   out in the moonlight   just hoping maybe   you're out walking   after midnight searching for me.   I go out walking   after midnight,   out in the moonlight,   just hoping maybe.   You're out walking   after midnight searching for me.   You're out walking   after  

[01:05:28] 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?  

[01:05:43] Unknown:

Yeah. You're drinking at the bottom of the barrel.  

[01:05:46] Unknown:

Yeah. It's a nice barrel though. I'm gonna they're nice tunes, but   I know they're different on the 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 songs, we'll we'll have to make them available. They're quite sweet, I thought. I quite like them.  

[01:06:05] Unknown:

Yeah. The only thing you're gonna find if you go out walking after midnight is trouble.  

[01:06:10] Unknown:

Well, it depends where, I suppose. You might be right. You might be right. It depends where you go. There is. There's a Patsy  

[01:06:17] Unknown:

there's a Patsy Cline version of that.   Is that? She it was 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? End? No. We don't wanna do that. I'm I'm a stickler for good audio quality. No. We won't do that. But,  

[01:06:36] Unknown:

I'm trying to stop it. Yeah. If anybody's got a I'm sure there's some more walking songs. Yeah. Okay. There's gotta be other songs with the word walking. Yeah. So if you got any walking songs, you're gonna have to have to break yeah. What's that, Eric? Sorry.  

[01:06:49] Unknown:

Sorry. It used to be it used to be a national sport, especially in America, where people would long Great. Long distance.   And that was in the Edwardian period.   Well, I thought about I know. 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 that it was and then we opened it. So that's the reason why. Sorry. Sorry, folks. That's that's, it's still a bit slow, but it's it's it's getting there. Well, we can hear you okay now.  

[01:07:17] Unknown:

Are you hearing all of us okay, Harry? Well, it's a  

[01:07:20] Unknown:

yeah. It's a it's a major shutdown. Apparently, it's a major breakdown in this area. So that's the reason why Yeah. We can expect it is up. So We can expect more of that. I still  

[01:07:31] Unknown:

Yeah. We can expect Yeah. And now he just disappeared again. Are you there? There he is. He's there. He's working now. Just. Oh, okay. Alright.  

[01:07:38] Unknown:

Okay. Well, here, the the reason that that Working just. But I can't I can't get into any,  

[01:07:45] Unknown:

your microphone is just microphone's   gone a bit quiet. Any other Your microphone's gone a bit quiet, Eric.   You know, it sometimes does that.  

[01:07:54] Unknown:

Okay.   I'll   I'll deal with that. Just   yeah. It does that. Yeah. I think it might be something to be there. I'm I'm seeing to it right now as we speak. Okay?  

[01:08:04] Unknown:

Okay. But, the main reason I called in today Right. Was to talk about World War three.  

[01:08:10] Unknown:

Okay? I think we can talk about World War three now. I think we've probably have been talking about World War three the entire show, really. Right. But just Well, yeah. Exactly. But but there's obviously some aspect you wanna talk about. So,   I'll start polishing my own power, shall I? Yep. Yeah.  

[01:08:27] 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 nice, you know, seedless,   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 internationalists,   the globalists,   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'll 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 Yes. I was I looked in the wrong direction,   looked in the wrong direction, stepping off the curb. Right? And then all of a sudden, a guy slams on his brakes and I hear this, oh, wait a minute. I looked in the wrong direction, and I almost got run over. Okay. So but,   this 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.  

[01:10:06] Unknown:

Understand why. 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 Monica was on last week.   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. Let me read it to you because it was quite fun. Yeah.   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 Yes. 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 he 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 complimentary to one another to the degree that we would like. There's definitely much complimentary that's 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 and act as nature intended as a complimentary agents 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. So yeah. Right. Yeah.  



[01:11:50] Unknown:

It's a broad sweep. So, people need to keep that in mind.   Lesbianism and feminism.  

[01:11:57] Unknown:

Hang on. We got Yeah.  

[01:12:00] Unknown:

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   by by,   one of the Rockefellers.   And he says, why are you creating feminism? Aaron 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 make.  

Okay? So you see, this is the actual plan. Okay? Yeah.   Makes sense makes sense to you guys?  

[01:12:55] 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 for, which is at times useful. Sometimes a pain in the backside. Right?   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 Right. And okay. And that's useful up to a point. But many are also addressing,   the fallout from this. And 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. 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 cynical about the   interest. But, yeah, they are. They they are. And many of them are very articulate. They're saying some really I've I've learned some very interesting things.  

[01:14:05] Unknown:

Yes. Former feminists. Yes.  

[01:14:08] Unknown:

Yeah. Very much. Right? Very much.  

[01:14:12] 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 they   do? What do they do? I don't know either. What do they They have another   they have another war. Have a war. They have another war. Yeah. That's right. Yes, friends. It's war time.  

[01:14:41] Unknown:

Yes. Take your partners, please, for World War three. Yeah. There you go. I I I know I'm a part of trouble, 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 seemed it's just appeared recently. Yeah? Oh,  

[01:14:59] Unknown:

are you sure it's my mic? Because I haven't changed anything.   Well, I'm trying to Oh, that yeah. No. I hear it. It's really hot. I hear it now.   Who's hot? Who is hot? Eric's mic is really hot.  

[01:15:10] Unknown:

[01:15:11] Unknown:

it? Yeah. Eric, pull it. It's mic. Bring your mic bring your mic down a little bit. That might that might be where the Yeah. Where the echo is. Okay, mate. I'll I'll I'll bring it back. I'll bring it down.  

[01:15:22] Unknown:

Oh, good lord. You're huge. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But here's what's going on. I just sent a real quick nutshell for y'all. Well, this is getting hang on. This is really getting unlistenable. Just a minute. We gotta find this. I can't. Okay.   Is it coming from me or not? I don't hear it anymore.  

[01:15:38] Unknown:

It stops. Or just it it We don't have it right now. Way in the background.  

[01:15:43] Unknown:

No. It's gone. Okay. It's gone. That's good. We just had a war zone. Just I I I've I've I've I've turned I've turned it down. I've just turned it down. Is my microphone okay now, Paul? Yeah. You're fine. Yeah. That's fine. That's much better. Yeah. You gotta use a headset. You gotta use a headset. Not not a speaker. You know? See. Okay. That's that's the standard rule around here.  

[01:16:05] Unknown:

Okay. But here's what's going on. I've got an old I've got an old,   HMV,   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?  

[01:16:49] Unknown:

Okay. Trump  

[01:16:50] Unknown:

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? Yeah. They don't But he's gotta have some kind of pre   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, you know, 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? Mhmm. 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 risks going to war with China   and Russia   and the the the war pigs in America are saying, that's that's fine.  

We can do that.   Okay? So keep your eye on Venezuela,   and he's sending aircraft carriers down there.  

[01:18:35] Unknown:

Mhmm.  

[01:18:36] Unknown:

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? So back to you guys.   I'm has this been covered much in the media, Eli? The Venezuelan thing? No. I've not seen much about it at all. Oh, no. This is a new development. There are some YouTube videos about this, but it's very recent. Very recent.   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? Right. Yeah.   It may turn into World War three because, then 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, guess the war in Serbia started.   Right? Yep. Remember this, guys? Yep. 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.  

[01:20:03] 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 promised to be? Yeah. There you go. He hasn't done it.  

[01:20:14] Unknown:

Yeah. I'm surprised.   He hasn't done it. I'm so sure. And you have all these photographs   of Epstein   and Trump   and, who else? At Mar A Lago of all places. Right? Prince Andrew. And, 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.  

[01:20:50] Unknown:

Well, I never. I'm shocked, Eli. I'm frankly, I'm shocked. Yeah. I thought they were all honorable, decent people who spoke the truth. It's shocking, isn't it? So Right. Wouldn't interrupt   someone, one of his press secretaries. I I'm I'm a bit vague on this. No? Who was talking about Hand body.   Well, one of them was 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.   They just 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  

[01:21:26] Unknown:

Yeah. No. That was Pam Bondi. I saw that. I saw that. She was gonna talk about the Epstein files, and she no. No. We're not talking about that today. Alright. 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 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.  

[01:21:57] Unknown:

Right? You never know. I've got a I've got No. I've got a good distraction for him. Go ahead. Okay.   Venezuela,   can send a team,   wipe out the Trump Hotel, Trump Tower in New York,   and take out the four m here while they're at it.   There you go. Just there you go. Just take out the island.  

[01:22:20] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.  

[01:22:22] Unknown:

I mean, I I would say, Eli, that we've been in World War three since 1945,   really. It's just been I will. Organized in a different sort of way. I don't know whether they'll ever go avert 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 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. We just need to And you know what?  

[01:23:15] Unknown:

Wasn't 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?  

[01:23:38] Unknown:

Which ones? The ones that are protesting?   I'm not I'm not familiar.   But they're on our side. You draft them.  

[01:23:46] 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? Yeah. Yeah. I can see that. Yeah. Well, they would target them from the marches  

[01:24:00] Unknown:

sort of do something That's right. Yep. Yeah.  

[01:24:04] Unknown:

It's like, what what do you call when the British were, kidnapping American soldiers off of American ships? What was that, what do you call that? Fun?   Yeah. Right. It was fun for the British. No. They were they were press ganging.  

[01:24:16] Unknown:

Press ganged.  

[01:24:18] Unknown:

Press ganged. Impressment.  

[01:24:20] Unknown:

Imp impressment. That's right. They call it. It was the press I mean, they did if there's any consolation, they did it to the English and the Scots and the Irish on their home shores as well. You need Oh, yeah. Their own people. Yeah. Yeah. Their own people. Right? Mhmm. Okay? Mhmm. But now the all the world is ruled by the bakers,  

[01:24:37] Unknown:

from The Hague and from United Nations building, etcetera, etcetera.   So they can do   that. Yep. And the is Edomites   and the literal Edomites   and the Esau type race traders will be fully behind it.  

[01:24:52] Unknown:

Okay? They're too far in to come out. Okay? They're too far That's right. Enrolled   in the plot to be able to come out of it That's right. At all. They really are. That's right. But I I think So if the plot 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 for us. Yes. 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 Yeah. A terrible mess. It's not sort of like in a movie. 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? I don't know. 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. That's absolutely. Absolutely. And we've got one other thing about mom Downey.  

[01:26:25] Unknown:

Mom Downey, the new mayor the Muslim mayor of New York, he swear he swore that he would uphold his what's the BDS   boycott,  

[01:26:35] Unknown:

DIVIL? Is that Yeah. Yeah. Is that Did he? Did he?  

[01:26:39] Unknown:

Divestment. Divestment. He swore he would support divestment.   But, 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.   Venezuela. Venezuela.   Alright. Alright. Take care.   Keep on being conspiratologists.  



[01:27:14] Unknown:

Take care. Bye bye. Thank you. Thanks, Eli. Bye for now. Thanks for stopping by. Eli. 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.  

[01:27:34] Unknown:

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. You are? Am I still here? I'm speaking away. Can you hear me? Yeah. Am I out of sync? No. You're not. You're not? You're not. Who are? Oh, well, that's We hear you just fine. Good. So   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 the Internet. So that's that's the reason it went funny earlier. So things are working. It wasn't the computer. It wasn't me. 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.  



[01:28:22] Unknown:

Yeah.   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 Yeah.  

[01:28:33] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[01:28:34] Unknown:

Yes.   Hey, Eric. Or perhaps we should start talking about buses. Yeah?  

[01:28:40] 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?   It's true. Just pick somewhere in the middle, and a little bit will go a long way. Don't don't go nuts on it. I I think I better take it slow. How's that? Is that better?  

[01:29:06] Unknown:

Yeah. But we've got an echo. Did I have Eric, are you listening to the show through speakers? Are you listening to the speakers?  

[01:29:13] Unknown:

No. Somebody headphones   on. Somebody is. Spoken through the microphone.   Alright. So how how's that, Paul? Is that alright?   It is now. I've I've put my microphone up a touch. Right? So we don't No. You're good. You're good right there.  

[01:29:27] Unknown:

You're good right there. You know? You don't need any more gain. And, if   I actually do have speakers on because I had to unplug my headphones. Otherwise, my speakers weren't working. We found the culprit, Eric. I'm just We found the culprit.   Yes. I don't know. Well, that's okay. I just turned my I just turned my noise gate up, and my speakers down will be fine.  

[01:29:49] Unknown:

As, as your cat come back yeah. If your pushy cat come back, or is it, the front, I might say something about rhubosh.  

[01:29:56] Unknown:

Rhubosh? Oh, no. Oh, no. My kitty Where's your cat going? My kitty is spoiled rotten.   Yeah. And and, no, she hasn't come back.   Not since she jumped down and left. No. Yeah. She was she was sleeping on my lap. She got up and left. I  

[01:30:15] Unknown:

don't get it. Who are? Who are? Plus she does not English accents or something like that.  

[01:30:22] Unknown:

Well, why? She didn't have a problem with Paul.  

[01:30:26] Unknown:

Well, it's because I speak properly, you see. I'm not from I'm not Well, no. Maybe it's because you were just louder.  

[01:30:33] 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. Speak. Anyway Speak.  

[01:30:46] Unknown:

That's alright. I speak proper like Paul does.   Does it? Does I? Doesn't. Oh, I do I do speak. Does I? I speak proper.  

[01:30:59] Unknown:

Doesn't I? It's nice to have you back.   Goose eye. Just to let everybody we were expecting a couple of other guests. I thought we were gonna be oversubscribed. I thought we does. 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. Eli rocked up a bit early and left early. So that was to be back. I tell you something. It was it was really frustrating.  

[01:31:23] Unknown:

It was kerfuffle.   It's been a kerfuffle show.  

[01:31:27] Unknown:

He's gone again.   It's a bit much tonight. Eric left again.  

[01:31:35] Unknown:

Oh, jeez.  

[01:31:36] Unknown:

It's not working right tonight.  

[01:31:39] Unknown:

Well, I I just don't think we can blame all of that on Microsoft. I just don't think so. 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. Mhmm. 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 when I mentioned the word roboj, it went tits up, didn't it? Strange that. Mhmm. Pretty weird. Well, it kind of Sorry. I it's 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 somewhere. Which word?  

[01:32:12] Unknown:

No.   Don't. RuPaul.  

[01:32:15] Unknown:

There's there's loads of cats throughout the world going,   scratching ear claws in of their owners and things like that. You know?   Anyway, Eric, now that you've been silenced Is it is it now that you've been Yep. Silenced for a little while,  

[01:32:31] Unknown:

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? Yes.   Yes.  

[01:32:39] Unknown:

Well, I think he's already talking about it, and that was Liz Truss. Because I did an article 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 there, I believe, 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   Rothchilds.  

So I think I would take what Liz Truss says carefully.  

[01:34:13] Unknown:

Don't forget the This is all part of the press.  

[01:34:17] Unknown:

AP newswire. They're Oh, yes.  

[01:34:19] Unknown:

A lot of stations get their news from AP.  

[01:34:23] Unknown:

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 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 the headlamps cheap old banger in, 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.   Really?   Yep. And apparently Oh. 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.  



[01:36:51] Unknown:

Oh, but they don't they don't do that anyway.   Isn't that fantastic? Anyway. They've got LED grow lights.  

[01:36:59] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. But the police basically have have equipment that tracks a heat signal thing. Maybe they do have LED lights, so 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 the 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, so there you go. So the cannabis cannabis crop of England is is flourishing somewhere  

[01:37:39] Unknown:

unbeknownst to the police, I I assume. So the The cannabis crop of New York isn't doing bad either. No. Good. It's recreational   here. Yeah. Yeah. I can have six plants if I want. Can you? Six adult plants, anyway. 12 total.   Oh, yeah. Yeah. I can grow them legally.  

[01:37:58] Unknown:

Really?   Yes. I think I can you   in Britain? I know that you can grow tobacco legally   in this country, but I'm not sure about cannabis.  

[01:38:08] Unknown:

Oh, that's cool. Do you know anything about that, Paul?  

[01:38:12] Unknown:

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 Tell me.   Maybe we could do a show when we've all taken some LSD. What do you think? If, it might be interesting. Having fun with it. Oh.  

[01:38:29] Unknown:

Oh, god. I don't know if I'm allowed to say that on broadcast radio. This is a terrible thing. The Can't we have two trucks sitting off at dude, I'd be sitting off in the corner holding the side of my head going, my ears are melting.  

[01:38:44] Unknown:

Well, I'm innocent. 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? 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? Pretty cool, wouldn't it? You know, just have people drugged out their mind going around.   It'd be far far more exciting Olympics, wouldn't it, etcetera? They just accepted it. Why?  

[01:39:13] Unknown:

I I don't know.   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  

[01:39:27] Unknown:

for it? Well,   I was I was wondering if there's something in the day about should be better. 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 Oh, yes. This is 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 be very interesting research on, did you just say microdosing,   Paul?  

[01:39:58] Unknown:

Yeah. Microdosing.  

[01:39:59] 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. They're good, I think, from times to times as well.  

But Mhmm.   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.   So  

[01:41:08] Unknown:

it it awakens your intuition.   Yep. 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 they just found all these new abilities that they had and and ways of concentrating and things like that.   And microdosing   mushrooms,   psilocybin  

[01:42:01] Unknown:

is what I think they call them,  

[01:42:03] Unknown:

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.  

[01:42:12] Unknown:

Well, it's interesting. 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's 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 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 take 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 damnedest to kill them off I assume still if that's part if that's really what's going on. That and five g. Mhmm.   Yep.   Yep.   I mean, I'm looking at replacing my phone here. I 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 ged 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.  

[01:45:20] Unknown:

So yeah. Yeah. But being feet away from a five g device is better than having one in your pocket.  

[01:45:28] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[01:45:29] Unknown:

I'm just saying.  

[01:45:31] Unknown:

Yeah. I agree.   I agree.  

[01:45:33] Unknown:

Any distance you can put between you and it is is all good.  

[01:45:40] 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 come 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're weaponizing it for No. They had to do they had to do digital digital for TV,  

[01:46:10] Unknown:

so they could move TV out of the frequency band that it was in   and,   open the bandwidth for digital TV. 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,   fitted with a forward facing camera,   then it's watching you 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  

[01:47:04] Unknown:

crazy. Yeah. Hang on. Sorry. I'm just sending a message here to Nathan.   It's just got through to be through here. It was a little crowded in the first hour.   He's got that message, so maybe Nathan will be joining us shortly.  

[01:47:20] Unknown:

Yeah. I thought it was up to Anurag because Anurag was due to come on. Hang on. I'll have a look and see,  

[01:47:28] Unknown:

It's okay, Eric. Don't worry about it. People will talk 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. A document? I mean, it's like finding a slightly pathetic war against it. I I don't accept that.  

[01:47:51] Unknown:

I've got a TCL Actually, I thought the EU had bring brought out.   Yeah. Eric. T c l and it has I thought they brought a law out.   Where   but my Nokia's got a removable 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, let's say, my Nokia, it's about four or five years old, and you take the battery out of that.   I 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.  

[01:48:40] 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 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 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're 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 lived 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 we what 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 or should produce a more deeply thinking thoughtful people because she 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 could 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.  

[01:52:06] 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. Mhmm. And it costs, £72.   Or you can get a refurbished one for $59.95.   So there we go. And they got a silicone in August   for about £80.   That's it. So, I I cracked it for you. Alright. So you it's a, it's the Nokia g 22.   The g 22. Sorry. You were saying, Paul. What was he?   Saying,   Paul.   I   the g 20 yes.   I mean, my one, my Nokia, I think you need to change 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. Mhmm. And, I don't know whether your one does this. Does it eat up memory for no reason at all?  

[01:53:17] Unknown:

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. Good idea.   I don't take pictures with my phone at all unless it's documents that I have to send off to people. 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 around one another on the beach. Remember that film Help with The Beatles? They've all got a camera 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.  

Every reason is a 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 and go, why are you doing that?   Really? Why are you putting all these pictures up? I I just don't get it. Yes. Never got it.  

[01:54:41] Unknown:

Well,   you know, the 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 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 got bad things to do and spends most of the day doing that.  

[01:55:28] Unknown:

Yawn. I mean, what is it? How weird. There are some strange little things that have popped up with have you seen that game that people play where they have to identify   a place in the world from a photograph.   They have to guess where it is. It's called geoguess it. 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. Some really boring farts out there, isn't there? Well, we're quite dull at times. I can be quite tedious and dull at times. Do you does it irritate you when someone says someone says,  

[01:56:11] Unknown:

oh, yeah. But I tell you what it means when someone says, oh, look at this. And they show you in the smartphone, and it show 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 that they spent hours and hours and hours trolling through   garbage.   I mean,   what is it? It's I don't know.  

[01:56:39] Unknown:

People just like wasting time. I think it's much more interesting things to do than that. I know. It's jigsaw puzzles. Me. I'm a bit of an 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.  

[01:58:19] Unknown:

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

[01:58:32] Unknown:

Now and  

[02:00:52] Unknown:

sweet child of  

[02:01:16] Unknown:

Where do we go?   Where do we go now? Where do we go?   Where do we go?   Where do we go now? Where do we go?   Where do we go now? Where do we go?  

[02:01:47] Unknown:

And that was Iron Horse with sweet child of mine.   Isn't that how radio DJs say it? I think they do, don't they?   So, welcome back to hour three. Yes.   Yes. Absolutely marvelous.   Spiffing?   Spiffing. Absolutely. Spiffing, topo, and all that kind of stuff. Yes. Yes. I've I've got that tonight. Yes.  

[02:02:14] Unknown:

Well, mind you, last time I said that the camera at the, the computer went up the spout. So we've got to let not say the word spiffing or.   So let's let's try and keep away from those words, shall we?  

[02:02:27] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[02:02:28] Unknown:

Let's Maybe you keep seeing it?  

[02:02:35] 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?  

[02:02:46] Unknown:

You can't fool me. I'm empty as they come.  

[02:02:50] Unknown:

I think there's a lot to be said, though, to being for being a new   a new a neo Luddite, which is what I think I am. I've 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. I know these incidents are probably few and far between,   but,   what did I say 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 it because it's poly armored glass.   Oh, what's the show? 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 being 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 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,   with a with a you know, with a an engine under this under one liter, I'll do it with modern engines and then you won't have to pay that congestion charge in London And you want   I want mechanical window winders, and I want mechanical door handles,   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.  

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  

[02:04:39] 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 screen   in front of the driver.   Now, surely, is that distracting? You want the minimum distractions.   All you want is to know what speed you're doing.   What else 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 why do you need all this stuff in   get 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? That died of death, didn't it? Mhmm.   Into this country. Now wouldn't it be nice? A simple car, you just repair,   you know, like the two CV.   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 these neighbors have got posh cars, and half the time, they're they're off the road. But he said, his two CVs just goes and goes and goes. Yeah. And apparently,  

[02:06:07] Unknown:

Mhmm.   What what could I see? Dispatch? Kenya?   Kenya came up a guy in Kenya   came up with an electric car, has, like, a three or 400 mile range.   It's   mostly   mechanical.   It seats four,   and you can buy one for between 5 and $8,000.   It's ridiculously   cheap.   Yeah. 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 five grand.   And they're selling them   now.  

[02:07:08] Unknown:

And no one's gonna nick that car. Right?   They won't nick it because it's not worth it. 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 of the bloody thing if it if it blows up.   Yeah. Sorry. Right. That's what I want. 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 Mhmm. Again. It's it's completely off the charts, I think. I want that cheap car.   We need the cheap car. We need the peasant's car. Then we need the Volkswagen, don't we, Eric? Isn't that what wouldn't that be a good name for it? We need the folks' car. Yes. The Volkswagen?   Yeah. That's what we want. Also piece of engineering.  



[02:09:19] Unknown:

Who is it? Who is it? Was it Toyota   or   she 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  

[02:09:42] Unknown:

Mhmm.  

[02:09:43] Unknown:

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.   Well,   silver is silver is spiking in value   just as they start talking about this silver based battery in mainstream. Do you think maybe those two might be related?  

[02:10:24] 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 agent 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. I've got water. Oh, no. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Internet bed. Oh, oh. 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 assholes.  

[02:12:25] Unknown:

Stop with this stuff. It's mad. Oh, but I know what it's for. What's it for? It's they they can tax they can tax sex, and it's p a y f, pay as you fornicate.   Sorry. You thought I was gonna say something else there, wasn't it? No. No. I don't even have any tax. Tax inspectors   looking through through your window. Oh, hang on. Look. Oh,  

[02:12:47] Unknown:

yeah. The bed's going away. I'm gonna get right. Okay. Extra tax. Extra tax. We'll just log on to the bed fire. We don't need to look in the windows anymore.  

[02:12:57] 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. That's right.   All that.   It was actually pubic hair that they were measuring.   I don't know if this bed actually measured that.   I've said this before. It's always worth repeating these tales for for new listeners if you know heard 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.  



[02:13:43] Unknown:

FOBBING.   Yes. FOBBING FOBBING  

[02:13:46] Unknown:

in Essex, which is,   where the term fobbing off comes from because of this event. Mhmm. 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 daughter's dresses to see if they could see any signs of maturity. Let's put it that way. They were also coming job ain't it? Yeah. They're also coming into ours to see if they could find watch springs and and and the like. And if they did, attacks 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   they were quite clear about they were killed. Yes. Yes. 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. Mhmm. 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 are you supposed to say about this? You're 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, the simple electric car. That's right. Yeah? But they got one in in in, The Netherlands, which is sorry. I didn't mean to cut in there, but,  

[02:15:28] Unknown:

which I if they were cheap enough, I mean, these things cost, I don't know, in 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?  

[02:15:47] Unknown:

Mhmm.  

[02:15:48] Unknown:

Now imagine a battery's on a shopping trolley. You'd open the door open the door, and they they show you 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 can 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. And they're they're about the size of a I don't know. About the size of two conventional   car batteries.  

Two or three. And, then plug another one in. And I think that is the way to go. I really do. Why faff around for ages being charge your batteries up? Well, I'm looking forward to the fucking whole Ministry of Transport taking full charge of the  

[02:16:37] Unknown:

transportation needs of the nation as soon as possible, Eric. Well, he was gonna come on, weren't he? And he he's he's gone. Yeah. It's a pity, really. I've sent him it's a pity. So we'll have him on next time because I actually 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 a 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 cool. 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, elect electronics   are not warm.   They're not warm. They're they're kinda distant. I can't describe it. They're not, are they?  

[02:17:40] Unknown:

Like, I've got I agree with you. And I mean Yeah. I've got   that that they can but sorry. I didn't mean to cut across you. No. It's fine. 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 can have something like a replica of a '19, I don't know, 1948   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 our 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 Yeah. Art, 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 gang into working on them. No. They loved it. So, that's my view. And,  

[02:18:56] Unknown:

so, you know, learn how to carve and all all these different things. I think it'd be marvelous. Well, I was watching something the other day about York Minster. You know, York Minster is a pretty impressive Oh, yes. Cathedral. Right? Yes. 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.  



[02:19:43] Unknown:

Beautiful.  

[02:19:44] Unknown:

Wow. 2,200   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 they're discouraging.  

They are demoralizing the modern buildings.   They're they're saying we're poor. We can only put up a box. We 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 what 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 Oh. To go into this spiral.  

[02:20:43] 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 marvelous job of it. Mhmm. But 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 just 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  

[02:21:45] Unknown:

Yeah. It's Well   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? Oh, you know of them? Probably, yes. And they have model railway clubs and they always seemed a bit nerdy to 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 about 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 We're 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 Correct. 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 buggered about. Here we are 2025,   and it's almost as if the world before COVID, which is what, five, six years ago, was a very, very different world   in just five years. Very different. So we're only talking five years ago. It's not long, is it? It doesn't seem long to me.  



[02:23:57] Unknown:

No. 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. I have a television. I just remember seeing it on the,   inter no. Totally. 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 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. Mhmm. I just could not believe what I see.  

People queuing outside the bank, everywhere closed,   Sunday afternoon.   I thought, what is this? And it was a really   smoggy,   horrible day. Horrible day. Mhmm. 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 that probably probably seen for ages because no cars on the road.  

And it was just like  

[02:25:17] Unknown:

Amiga Man. You never film Amiga Man? I think I do. Yeah. Yeah. Sounds like an Avengers set 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 know what you mean. That's right. Yeah. But with Omega, man, Charlton Heston here is driving down the road, and he believes is the only person left  

[02:25:40] Unknown:

in the world, but he isn't.   And there's other people left as well.  

[02:25:45] Unknown:

Very interesting film. The original one from nineteen seventies, the remake was crap, but the original one's pretty good. I'll actually get back to that. I've seen that once a long time ago. Yeah. I think I've seen that one a long time ago.  

[02:25:58] Unknown:

Yeah. It's   he he well, because I say, he thinks he's the only one, but he isn't.   And there's, there's some mutant people wandering around that 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 one in the seventies with Charlton Heston, that's a good one. So there we go. A little plug there. K. Charlton Heston. Yeah. Paul.  

[02:26:29] Unknown:

I have located the $5,000   Africa car.   The $5,000   EV   is,   the Itaua,   I T   A 0 U A,   and   the the make of the car is called the Native,   or the model of the car is the Native.   And it outrun   Teslas   in range   with batteries that are 90%   cheaper.  

[02:27:01] Unknown:

Wow. So So is there a website for it? I just Is there a product I how do you spell that again? I t   a o u a? O u a.  

[02:27:12] Unknown:

And I just dropped a, a link   to a YouTube video,   in the,   studio   chat.  

[02:27:22] Unknown:

Thank you. So you can check that out. Okay. Cool. So  

[02:27:25] Unknown:

it's the Itel Yeah. It's $5,000.  

[02:27:28] Unknown:

O u a. What was it called again, the name of the car? It's, Called the Native, and it's actually  

[02:27:34] 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.  

[02:27:52] Unknown:

Sorry, China. Screwed up. Okay. Go back to the driver's batteries e can he can you change the batteries easy if they if we got the spare? Are they cheap? You know? Can you sort of whip about in an afternoon or in about a half hour or something? Oh, I believe you can.  

[02:28:06] Unknown:

I don't I don't see why not.   I mean Wow. I'll put it. Yeah. Why would they say the batteries are 90%   cheaper   if you couldn't replace them? That's the beauty part.  

[02:28:22] Unknown:

That's interesting.  

[02:28:24] Unknown:

And it's not that they're lacking in power because they outranged   a Tesla.   They beat Tesla. Guarantee  

[02:28:33] Unknown:

you will not be able to buy one in The United States   or Europe.  

[02:28:38] Unknown:

They'll they'll they'll not they'll buy have to 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.  

[02:28:54] Unknown:

The Pioneer battery that goes well well well. 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 shock wave. 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. Yes. 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. I'd probably get one of those. $5,000.  



[02:29:37] Unknown:

Part of it. What Yeah. What they did was they set up micro factories   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 in a on a compartmentalized scale, and it's brilliant.  

[02:30:18] Unknown:

Brilliant. Yep. Looks cool. I love one. Yeah. I really would like one. And it does look nice, doesn't it? It doesn't look unpleasant.  

[02:30:25] Unknown:

Well, there we go. Eric, can't we get the, Fockem Hall Minister of, 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.   But, I mean, if they were really serious about having,   city vehicles that don't emit anything, $5,000,   that's what? £4,000?   Yeah.   Bloody. I'd have one of them. Mhmm. Absolutely mild. I'd have two. I'd have one for the weekend Yeah. In different   colors. That was grand. Yeah.  

[02:30:57] Unknown:

One for each week.   Yeah.  

[02:31:01] Unknown:

Okay. Okay. I like it. I really do like that one. It's it's a nice car. It's a sweet looking little car. I definitely think Tesla is worried.  

[02:31:10] Unknown:

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.  

[02:31:22] Unknown:

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   banks.   We can't I vote. 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 right. 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. It's it's Actually,  

[02:32:17] Unknown:

manipulating a market and limiting people's ability   to access new technology should be considered a crime against humanity because I agree. As 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. Mhmm. 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.  

[02:33:25] Unknown:

But you are a trouble you are a troublemaker, Paul. I think, you know, it might be I absolutely  

[02:33:31] Unknown:

am. And I buy those damn things at Amazon 2,000 at a crack, and I use them with impunity and let any one of them try and tell me I can't.  

[02:33:40] Unknown:

I mean, not 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 out of business. It absolutely would.  

[02:34:36] Unknown:

It happens that Yeah. 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.  

[02:34:50] 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.   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 it 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. 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 crap 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 spoken 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, this 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 liabilities. 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 want to 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 that   they went to Anders and said, we don't like you doing this. He said, well, we don't care.   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. 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 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 sharp 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.  

[02:40:46] Unknown:

Oh, you can you hear me, Eric? You okay? Yes. I can hear you. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Yep. I'm I was just did you hear some stinking nod off? It's okay. You're up. What what what do I what do I do such a thing? No. Live on air? No. I'd never nod off.  

[02:41:02] Unknown:

It's alright. It's fine.   Well, let me I'll let me get to the meat of it. So I'll just try and do an example,  

[02:41:08] Unknown:

Yeah.  

[02:41:09] Unknown:

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? So it's a 100,000 Probably. 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 round 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? £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 want to you want to 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 eve 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. Yes. So they might say to you, look, 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.  

Yeah. So you're actually only gonna Oh, that's clever. 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 2,000? £20. So it's 40 you pay 1,960.   You don't pay 2,000 because you 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 own That's logical.   It's 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 permission I did the minority 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 that you yeah. So when you've put in, say, $250,   you're now only paying a thousand pound a month's rent because it's only half the house that you don't own in simple terms. Right?  

And it means loads and loads of people could get on the property ladder without a mortgage.   And then, because in the '19 that's right. It's Yeah. That would 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. 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.  

[02:45:34] Unknown:

Makes sense, doesn't it? That wasn't too complicated. It does make sense. Yeah. 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 the health service.   And he said, you'll always find a bigwig   in,   political   party. And he said, there are two types of political parties in this country,   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 MacAlpine and that always   near the top   and pulling strings.  

Uh-huh.   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 stacker block estates.   They're really, really dreadful.   But in the sixties, they did try an experiment,   but, again, the building history clamped down on it, where,   they did what they do in,   Greece. And that is you buy the land   Yep. 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 timber frame property.   Straight up. Up it down. Sears did that.  

[02:47:22] Unknown:

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. That's it. Delivered to your property.  

[02:47:36] Unknown:

Yeah.   And it would it would take something like a day and a half or two days,   and that that would you you you it got like a rocket.   And,   there's a company that did it. And they did this do this in Germany today.  

[02:47:49] 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. Right? As I've said yeah. As I've said sorry. I didn't mean to sharmen. I've said many times is I'm very,  

[02:48:28] Unknown:

I believe that the building regulations should be strict because that's building regulations are for how our health and safety. Mhmm. 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. Yep. And 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 around,   who are just swinging at a   university, that knows 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 then 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. Mhmm. 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. Yes. 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 you say, oh, yes. I'd like that then. I'd like that colored roof 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 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.   Right. 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 bozo. 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. What kind of the over down service tunnel?  



[02:51:09] Unknown:

Well, I know a little I know a little group around here that are looking to buy some land to do us kind of community development. I don't like the word community, but we all know what I 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 kind you know what I mean? There's something immediately sort of not Yes. Romantically fun about it. It's immediately sort of procedural and administrative and tedious. I immediately like Yes. We found some different words. But getting together like a housing club is much more in 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 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. Yes. It's it's just insult to bloody injury.   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 like a 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. 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 ideas.   You 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 partnerships so you can build another house for the next guy to come along and set up alongside you. And Yeah. It's not only that. Yep. But but the houses, it should, I mean, I'm very much into feng shui.  

[02:54:43] Unknown:

A house should blend   with a 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've got beautiful,   well, it's actually mud, actually.   But, you know, they've got these beautiful old cottages.   Yep. 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 you should beautify and enhance the land. That's what building 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. Yeah. That makes people mentally ill. It I really do. I I mean, I'm not I'm there's lot lots of friends of mine  

[02:56:20] Unknown:

that that live in towns, yes. But I really do believe that cities make people mentally sick. Because 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 in the urban landscape and all that kind of stuff. Yeah. 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 there's a common sense shortage.   It's not   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 and what you're talking about, all this blandness, it's 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 Well Why do you want that? Well, I've looked 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. The 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 Devonian's or whatever you call more easily. 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.  



[02:57:44] Unknown:

They're just drawn into tell you something else. Well, it's alright. Well, we're coming to the end of the show now, but I was going to say, look at Letchworth Garden City if you wanna see architecture   done in the Edwardian times, nineteen o seven.   Beautiful.   Yep. So there we go. Wonderful.  

[02:58:02] Unknown:

Well, thank you very much, Eric and Paul, for being with us That's okay. On the show this evening. Apologies for our little technical trouser moments this evening. It's been   quite,   bit of a bit of a boisterous pub tonight. People coming in 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.
