A weekly chat show with guests
Welcome to another engaging episode of the Shelley Tasker Show, broadcasting from radiosoapbox.com and streaming on Rumble. This week, I am thrilled to have a long-awaited guest, Dave Lanyon, who is not only a friend but also a prominent figure in the Farmers Movement Cornwall. Dave shares his journey of activism, which began over 30 years ago, and his involvement in local community issues, including his long tenure on the parish council.
We delve into Dave's experiences with local government and his decision to step away due to perceived corruption and lack of accountability. He recounts his efforts to challenge the status quo and his ongoing commitment to community activism, particularly in the realm of food security and environmental issues.
Our conversation also touches on broader societal issues, including the impact of COVID-19, the role of vaccines, and the importance of public engagement in political processes. Dave passionately discusses the need for collective action and the power of community in driving change.
In the latter part of the show, Dave shares his personal stance on council tax and his decision to withhold payment as a form of protest against government inefficiencies. We explore the implications of such actions and the potential for broader societal change.
Finally, we highlight the upcoming rally organised by the Farmers Movement Cornwall, aimed at raising awareness and support for local food production and security. This promises to be a significant event, with notable speakers and widespread community involvement. Join us as we explore these critical issues and more, with insights from a dedicated activist committed to making a difference.
Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Shelley Tasker Show here coming from radiosoapbox.com. It's good to have your company. I am also streaming on Rumble. The channel is just under my name, Shelley Tasker. So if you'd like to leave any comments or maybe in any interaction, please do find that page. But other than that, I will be here for an hour, the next hour. Today's date is Wednesday, 18th September, and we gotta mention the weather on the year 2024. It's like summer out there. We are in Cornwall. Hail, 1 minute, snow, and today, we've got summer. Anyway, enough of boring you with the weather. I've got a great guest this evening who I'm fortunate enough to call a friend as well. This interview is long overdue. He's turned me down several times, but I've beaten him down.
Anyway, this, this week's guest is mister Dave Lanyon. Good evening, Dave. How are you doing?
[00:02:01] Unknown:
Hello, Shelley. Yeah. Doing great. Thanks. Good. Good. Been a sunny date. So, been out chilling a bit in that, enjoying the vitamin d. Yes. Nothing more than that to make me feel good. It makes you feel so much better, doesn't it? Well, the the blooming gloomy summer that we've had,
[00:02:20] Unknown:
maybe shorter reasons to, to feel good, haven't we? We have. I'm just that bit of sunshine. I'm, like, motivated, cleaning my house like it's spring. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not house cleaning, but, motivated by this the sunny weather. Yeah. Yeah. It's lovely. Anyway, thank you for coming along at last. I said I'm I managed to wear you down. Yeah. You said you would. I did, didn't I? Just keep pestering you. Yeah. You kept your promise. So for the listeners out there, I've known Dave actually for the last, coming on probably 5 years now when all of this COVID stuff came about. Dave is very active, has been for a long time, actually, and he's got quite a large role in the whole Farmers Movement Cornwall with farmer Pete and Joe Wood. You're a busy bee, aren't you?
[00:03:08] Unknown:
Well, I've been growing up in the in the farming community, really. It's it's sort of dawn to dusk. You're you're busy doing things. And, yeah, I I can never sit down and and relax and not not be taking an interest in something.
[00:03:25] Unknown:
No. Good for you because if we didn't have people like you, and you you do do a hell of a lot.
[00:03:32] Unknown:
Yeah. I can't keep my nose out. That's the trouble, can I? And
[00:03:36] Unknown:
I love your passion. You're always posted, and you're always trying to wind people up and, like, come on people.
[00:03:41] Unknown:
Listen. You know? One of one of my big frustrations is the fact that so few people get involved in things that affect them. Yeah. And to some extent, that that's where this whole, active mentality kicked in for me really over 30 years ago.
[00:04:03] Unknown:
So take us back to the start of that. Yeah. Because, I mean Yeah. I've never really we've not delved into that conversation.
[00:04:09] Unknown:
No. We haven't. So go back to the beginning. Where I am now. Sorry. I've lived where I am now for 40 years, and early on, we're in we're in the area where the the old landfills that used to be.
[00:04:24] Unknown:
Right.
[00:04:27] Unknown:
The pain because of the traffic, 7 days a week, really. The community got that they'd had enough of it. Cornwall Council were operating it, and then it went to a private company, and they kept wanting to extend it. It it was old, outdated technology, and we wanted to be rid of it from our community. On one occasion there, they were trying to get an extension to the operation. And we took exception, and we turned up at parish council meetings. And we discovered that the landowner who was renting the area to Cornwall Council was actually the chairman of the parish council. And they bugger if he wasn't voting on application on his own land, which which is an exception.
So, eventually, we got him kicked off, to be honest. That's you know, we clubbed together as as a community, and we ousted him. That meant that, it made sense then for someone in the community to go on the parish council, and I went on there. And, probably, I was I was on there at least for 30 years. Had a couple of breaks, you know, short breaks in between. 30 years? That's commitment. Yeah. Yeah. Well, the thing is, I I can find fault with things that other people do. But if that's the case, you need to stick your own head above the parapet and and get involved in making the decisions yourself.
And and even now, I hear people whinging about what's going on, you know, about how bad their government is, how bad their council is, how bad everything is, and yet they just put up with it. Yeah. Well, that's not me. That's not me at all. If I if I don't agree, you're gonna know. Oh, don't we know? And and, you know, often, I will then rally groups of people that share my view, so that I'm not just the village nutter. And and to some extent, all movements suffer from that problem where you'll get a nucleus of people that are active and and just, you know, you Farmers' Movement Cornwall is is, to some degree affected by that.
You get a few active, and 1 or 2 people behind the scenes, sharing that enthusiasm for the cause, but not really poking their heads up and being being able to be counted as part of that opposition. So it's always that small number that that can be singled out, can be marginalized, and who carry the banners with no one really standing up behind to support. And and that's what leaders or I don't I don't mean the term leaders, really. I think spokespeople, perhaps, for a cause, need everyone that is in agreement to show that they agree because that gives those voices so much more impact.
And we're at that stage with Farmers Moon. We're trying to build the, the support base of the people that when action is needed, that they will all turn up, whether that would be turn up in terms of writing a letter to an MP, turn it up at a a Cornwall council meeting because, there's there's another huge application for a solar farm, whatever it is. The people will only have a voice if the majority are there to demonstrate that that is their voice that's being presented, and they're backing the people, who are actually doing the speaking. Until that happens, we're always gonna struggle to change the world.
Yeah. It sort of sort of brings me to that that that, point that they are few, and we are many.
[00:08:43] Unknown:
Definitely.
[00:08:44] Unknown:
But how do we get the money together?
[00:08:48] Unknown:
I I think things are gonna have to get a whole lot worse. It's interesting, isn't it? The whole, this whole pension credit thing for the elderly that's kicked off a lot of, but it's not just that, is it? If they could see where other money is being spent and stuff like that. And you you said in one of your Facebook's, posts, and I know there's been lots of talk about it the last couple of days about the whole Hugh. I can't remember his surname. I should do the news reporter that Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Didn't get to go to prison for viewing photographs of a 7 year old and stuff, but anybody leaves a comment on Facebook, show him you're in there.
[00:09:25] Unknown:
Yeah. I mean, I mean, the the the buzzwords at the moment is, a a 2 tier, ain't it? 2 tier star. And and given his history, I all I sort of forecast what we would be subjected to if he got in. He had a prominent position in in, the judicial system when Savile was being investigated. And you can't tell me that given Savile's links to the now king and Starmer's position in the CPS, the that investigation wasn't at least run past him for his comment, on how to proceed.
[00:10:11] Unknown:
Yeah. Because it because it would have all been the decision would have been made before he even appeared at court, wouldn't it? Of course. Yeah. Yeah.
[00:10:19] Unknown:
But but this, I don't watch the news. So this this this news reader's name isn't really on the on the tip of my tongue. But it I mean, it's it's it's, very well known. I know. But for him to get away with with those images, someone somewhere has manipulated evidence, haven't they, to make sure that he isn't portrayed as as badly as we we probably see him. It didn't get to court because he happened to stumble across a a naughty image. Mhmm. Has to be much more to it than that because the cost of taking something like that, through the system has to be quite significant.
[00:11:06] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. But but this old 2 tier, yeah, 2 tier stoma thing, this I mean, you know, before we got elected, I think it was one of his posts before he's going on. We will not take away the pension credits, all this, that, and the other. And as soon as he's in there, he's taken it away. But that's, that's enough. I think it's got people riled. It's got people really riled. So they're, you know, perhaps the elderly is a soft spot. I don't know. But
[00:11:34] Unknown:
Well, the lie was so blatant and and so so, contradictory to to promises made not long before the manifesto. I don't know if it was in the manifesto or not, but it's only a matter of months before he made the pledges to protect, the pensions. And it's it's not that long ago he was in the house, criticizing the previous prime minister for even thinking about going after those pension credits. The the political cast are utter scum. You know, they will blatantly lie to us, knowing that we will do nothing to bring them down. And by not doing anything by doing nothing to bring them down, we all we almost approve of what they do. And and they can they can get worse and worse year on year. Like, I think that's exactly what's happening.
They're getting more and more bold.
[00:12:31] Unknown:
Yeah. I mean, he's only been in a couple of months, hasn't he? And, you I've noted the changes. All all very clever. But, moving on for that, Dave, when, you were in the when you were in the town parish council, what was the corruption like? Did you get to see a lot of corruption inside having that role?
[00:12:51] Unknown:
Well, to be to be honest, that's exactly why I left. Right. Probably just at the start of COVID was. We got a banger racing track on our doorstep, and it's well attended by all people from all over Cornwall, and further afield. They come down from Devon, Dorset, and our fans travel in the in the opposite direction. It's it's a well needed facility. It's a bit noisy once in a while. You know, every every couple of weeks, it's a bit noisy if the wind is in your direction. Even here here in my place, you you would imagine that they were racing around in your garden. It can be that then. So some people don't like it. Well, anyway, the brains that exist in in Cornwall Council somehow managed to liaise with some bloke in Norfolk Way.
And he had this idea that he would develop what was known as a rum maturation plant. Now they didn't produce rum. All they did was, have rum in barrels, throw it in this fancy building, and sit there and watch it for 5 years at minimum until it matured. Well, of course, Cornwall Council were the landowner. They were the planning authority. They were the company that the chairman of the Paris Council worked for, who I believe had a contract with the applicant. Now I contacted our chairman on that basis, and because of her her connections, suggested that, that she shouldn't take part in the debate because she had what I regarded as a pecuniary interest.
And, she claims that she had advice from Cornwall Council who, having told you just a minute ago that they were the planning authority and the landowner, they also had, some degree of a a vested interest. Well, we we had the, the debate at the council level. The vote happened. She took part in the debate, created a tie situation, and as the chairman of the cast and vote. Well, that didn't sit very well with me because there are these 7 principles of public life, and, and they were all well, the number of those were breached in my view. I went through the proper process at County Hall.
The standards committee made my complaint. They found that that there was nothing wrong, and I think that that that decision was actually corrupt as well. I decided that I would splash out in social media, maybe Facebook. And the repercussions from that were that I took more criticism for being the whistleblower than she did from the community for, taking actions that would have been detrimental to much of the community. So having seen that, I thought, do I continue to give up my time if that's a sort of democratic representation that the people are happy with?
Well, I decided to hell with it. I'm out. Yeah. I don't I don't believe you. Yeah. And I I doubt that I will ever go back on now. I mean, to be fair, the Paris councils have no statutory duty anyway. You know, they're only asked for comment. They they can't turn applications down, but they do have a privileged position in as much as they have access to counselors and council officers, in a much easier way than Joe Public. So they are able to be a little more, better informed and and advised. So it it is beneficial in some ways, and you and you get to know things on occasions before everyone else.
But having weighed that up, they're they aren't really that important. There there's a way that the public could influence things without being on the power stencil. So, that's where I focus my efforts now.
[00:17:29] Unknown:
Yeah. So so, I mean, going back then, when was it when you stepped out of that position then that you began to see what else was going on?
[00:17:40] Unknown:
No. Not really. Because when I was a counselor, the COVID thing had been got was going on. When we had our Cornwall counselor at the time who was turning or or on, turning up and perhaps on Skype or whatever is it is we were doing at the time because of the regulations claiming well, there's no doubt. I'm not gonna say he was claiming. His his brother was in hospital, and it was suggested it was due to COVID, and he was on a ventilator. And I commented that it could be the ventilator that's killing him. And, you know, that didn't go very, very well in the pound's council.
So I was reported to the standards committee for that, for disrespecting the the other counselor. But, I think probably my position has been proven to be closer to the truth, now following on from from that with all what's been revealed since the since the panic of 2020 and and the deception that that I think we were subjected to. I think my my idea that the ventilator was was a bad move for someone with with COVID type symptoms was was, we'd bang on the money. So, yeah, and and prior to that, I think 911.
[00:19:00] Unknown:
Yeah. I think 911 was a big wake up for lots of people.
[00:19:05] Unknown:
Yeah. What a massive event that was. And and and for so many people to still think that 3 towers would collapse in their own footprint after being impacted by, a very light I mean, jumbo jet, you know, is is quite a heavy thing in in total weight, but it's it's a lightweight construction. You know, lots of aluminum and and and and stuff like that. It crumples very easily when it's in an impact with a hard structure, particularly when it's built to resist impacts from planes like the World Trade Center was, you know, massive steel structure up up the center of that that building.
And for all those steels to just vaporize and it and it fall in its own in its own footprint was too much to, give any credibility to to that that particular story. And the main I mean, many people Sorry. Many people don't know about the 3rd tower. No. Tower 7.
[00:20:08] Unknown:
And it it was also when the BBC announced that 1 tower had fallen, and it hadn't even been hit yet.
[00:20:14] Unknown:
Well, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. There is there is so much out there if people want to look for it, that it it it does make your mind boggle that there are people that would sacrifice thousands of others for what, you know, some political gain and some global control structure, you know, developing that that them and us, make making others the enemy when they weren't necessarily. You know, I've got no no gripe with any Iranians, no Iraqis, no Ukrainians, no Russians. All we have is a story that somebody is telling us creating that friction, to justify stealing our money to put it in the pockets of of the arms industry.
And I it it's about time we, the people, woke up to who benefits from all this shit, to be honest. When I when I look about a room, I I was in, Red Roof watching Campbell and Red Roof play rugby last Saturday. And I was looking around, there was 3 or 4000 people there. And I thought to myself, most of these people are good people working their asses off, doing their overtime to try and for afford a bit extra, you know, holiday for the family or whatever it is. And they're being shafted left, right, and center by those that we'll call it the top, because scum always rises to the top. They're being shafted by those people that are already have more wealth than they could possibly use in a 1000 lifetimes.
And they've got these people head down ass up 5, 6, 7 days a week just to survive.
[00:22:07] Unknown:
And and I kind of think with that, because they're so tired from the workload and stuff, They get home at the end of the day. The last thing they wanna do is be researching and looking at stuff. Yeah. Not everyone, but, you know, if you dumbed down enough, the weather's miserable, you just, you know
[00:22:26] Unknown:
Yep. Yep. But there there does come a point where I think you you have to take on the the protectors role. You know, you're a man. If you've if you've got a mother, a sister, a wife, a daughter, a son, you know, you got children. You then have to do your part. You brought them people into the world, speaking about specifically your children. The way I see it, you then have an obligation even if you're tired, even if you can't really be bothered, and you don't know what to do exactly, you have an obligation to protect, to do the best you can, to to pass on the best future you can for those those little people that you brought in into this world.
And if you're tired well, you're tired. You're probably not too tired on a Saturday to go play football or go watch rugby or or whatever it is because people are always falling time for leisure of one type or another. So there are an awful lot of people that could still do good because not, you know, not everybody's doing 6 or 7 days a week. Some are doing 5 days a week. Some are doing is doing, 12 hour days, and they're they're getting their their working week over in 4. So there is the potential for a greater number of people, and I would say those people could be that, to could create the turning point if they all kicked in.
You know, the there are 8,000,000,000 people in the world If, what, 10% of those 8,000,000,000 were able to come together regularly, you know, not not the same people every day of the week. It don't we need lots of people doing a little rather than a few doing a lot. The burden burden is shared then. We can make the world a much better place. It annoys me when I see things on the television like please for people to donate to good causes because they're, you know, there there's insufficient water, insufficient food. Bloody hell. We got people that are, approaching trillion hairs.
We could put more than enough food and water on every table on this planet, and we would hardly make a dent on their wealth. Those poor buggers are sacrificed because those with the wealth well, I don't really know what satisfaction they get because they can't spend every day reading their bank statement, can they?
[00:25:10] Unknown:
No. No. It's a funny old thing, money, though, isn't it?
[00:25:13] Unknown:
Some people, they say the more you've got, the more you won. And, yeah, I can't imagine sitting on it all, and, what would you do with it? You can't spend it all. Not doing yeah. Not doing the good that that you you could do. You know, Bill Gates out there, wanting to vaccinate everyone. Well, that's a bit of an oxymoron if that's the right term when you consider that he was brought up in a family that wanted to to control and reduce the population. You know, to to offer a vaccine and extend the lives of people when when you already know that there are far too many people on the planet, would I trust that man to put, chemicals in my body? Would I, El?
And and we've really yet to see the potential consequences of of what that that that jab holds.
[00:26:06] Unknown:
We we are seeing a lot, though. And interestingly, since the whole COVID scandemic, there has been a 80% decrease in mumps, measles, rubella, vaccinations and stuff. Yep. Yep. So that's that is good news. I think people have questioned it now. If they weren't gonna have the COVID jab, and they have seen now what's happened because we all know somebody that's had a adverse reaction or something like that. And how many people say, oh, I've had 2. I'm not having any more, and I've had this problem and that. But then it makes them look into the other vaccinations as well.
So I only really listen to the news on the way to work and those statistics, if they are right, I'm, like, cheering it on. I'm like, woo hoo.
[00:26:51] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. That has been a been a massive positive, and it it's probably a bit of an own goal from the global system, in in terms of getting everybody on vaccines if they are a mechanism by which they can install this hyper micro, management system, you know, that'll send signals to your brain that will trigger the body to release certain chemicals or however they plan to to, instigate this this control. They've certainly tripped themselves up to some extent, because as you say, the amount of people now that are starting to question the the sensibility from pumping the shit that you don't know what it is, into your body and and particularly the body of underdeveloped, humans, you know, young children.
The amount of of injections they have, within the first few months and the first couple of years is is quite scary.
[00:28:06] Unknown:
Yeah. I cringe when I hear people saying, oh, they put a status up or something. Oh, it's just at his jab. So I'm just like, oh, no. Yeah. The amount of mercury in those things, and mercury is known to be harmful.
[00:28:18] Unknown:
How how can mercury be known to be harmful such that you have to have special, you know, equipment to handle it, and then you you dump it into the human body in oh, okay. Small quantities relatively speaking, but, in into the bodies of children. Do you Yep. You've got it. You've got gotta ask the question, why are so many children now having problems? Why are so many adults, having problems? You know, simple things like asthma, you know, and mental problems. There there has to be an underlying cause. But is it something that they're spraying on the food? I can't say for sure. That's another investigation that needs to happen.
And and until we do that over a prolonged period of time to check the safety, we shouldn't be doing any of this. You know, we should be proving that things are safe, not having to prove that something's harmful. True. It DDT, for instance, you know, they sold that as as a miracle compound only to find out that actually it's quite catastrophic. And and this COVID thing and and and the the jabs, for me, it's been a rerun of that, you know, where we've trusted someone unquestionably, and the consequence of that has been, excess harm.
The the amount of people in my social group and the social group of of my social group, so people I would hear about where they they've had serious health issues has has been off the scale compared with previous years. I don't know whether I've just been more sensitive to it, picked up on it, but I don't I don't think so. Because you always remember when when one of your friends has had a brain hemorrhage or had a stroke at a young age? You know, they're memorable occurrences. So I I don't think it's a lack of memory. I'm I'm pretty certain that there's been a massive increase in the detrimental effect from something that happened,
[00:30:41] Unknown:
in recent years. I well, I think we've seen it on the sports scene, haven't we? I mean, I know people will argue, oh, people have always done sport and have heart attacks and things like that. But over the last few years, I've never seen anything like it.
[00:30:54] Unknown:
No. No. Myocarditis
[00:30:56] Unknown:
is now like a common yeah. It's now a common element ailment. Sorry. Yeah.
[00:31:02] Unknown:
What's he called that that English I played football for England as a striker. He's from, from Jersey in the, oh, well, Matt LeTissier. Yeah. He said all the all the years he was playing football, he never knew of anyone that keeled over in the way that we've been seeing them in recent years. I think I've heard of one that may have been prior to COVID. But and so that may have been one one that he'd missed. But but, you know, in in in recent times, there's a there's a hellish long list of of sports people across the world from all sorts of sports. You know, tennis, rugby, football.
There's hardly anything where where there's been exemption from from feeling the effects of of of these and and making it in the news. So so, yeah, you're you're right. Anyone that keels over on the football field in the professional game would have made the news, would have made made the headlines. And and if they haven't, then they didn't occur. Last 3 years, it's been off the scale. Yeah. Something
[00:32:16] Unknown:
Well, I interviewed a woman last week, actually, from the local church, a pastor's wife, bless her. She'd done a live video saying that she had her AstraZeneca jab, and she was never quite right. And then she had the second one, and she ended up in hospital with a brain hemorrhage and everything. She's just grateful to be alive. Yeah. Yeah. And she kind of said it sheepishly. Well, I'm obviously not
[00:32:52] Unknown:
Because I I was I go to see my parents a couple times a week, and and I I got 2 well, I had 2 brothers, and he he would drop in on the way home home to Bob, and we would be chatting about this and the other. And it was COVID was, was just starting. And, we were talking about how the governments across the world were all reacting in the same way. And he said to them, well, I don't understand how you could come to that conclusion that that all of these these individual governments are doing the same thing. They they must be individual decisions.
And he was totally unreceptive to my idea that there's this overarching hand. It overarches the world, and there's a control structure that that pulls the strings of pretty much every government on the planet. Well, this would have been March April. Bugging me if he didn't die in his sleep, in September, went to sleep and didn't wake up. Myocarditis, pericarditis, and a list of other things, because I had his and his complete medical records. So the bloody jab at him for sure. It it was it was a little more complicated because he'd had a kidney transplant 12 years before, so he was on medication.
But it's probably that that, that mechanism, you know, with with the renal unit and everything, and his his close contact with with the hospital on a fairly regular basis that that convinced him to have the the jabs as quickly as he did. I mean, that's unfortunate. I'm I'm over it now, but that was that was pretty hard really because, you know, we were we were quite close, not in each other's pocket. But, you know, if if ever either of us needed anything, we we were there. But, fortunately, I think I got through to my younger brother. He had 2 jabs early on. And following on from what I've been saying, he was a bit more receptive because he's he's probably a bit more like me than than the middle brother.
He decided that he wasn't gonna have anymore, so I think I think he's alright. My parents kept having them. They're they're in their mid eighties, so, you know, whatever happens, happens.
[00:35:29] Unknown:
And you kinda hope that some of them are placebos anyway, don't you? I mean, I do because my daughter had all of us because she wanted to go on holiday.
[00:35:38] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:35:38] Unknown:
And my son-in-law. Yeah. Awful.
[00:35:41] Unknown:
It was a horrific soil, wasn't it? Playing on people's weaknesses. As you say, people work hard, and they have 2 or 3 weeks off a year, and they wanna go on holiday. They planned it in in advance, and you're not gonna give that up easily. You know? Because the UK weather is a bit unreliable Very to say the least. It's nothing like it was when I was a kid growing up on the farm. Summer holidays when I was young, you could pretty much guarantee weeks on end would be sunny. You know, you'd have the whole old thunderstorm,
[00:36:19] Unknown:
but it it would be amazing weather. Yeah. I can remember. It was the same for me, and I put it all down to now to the chemtrails and stuff. Because you see them in the morning, a lovely blue sky, and it's almost like, It's gonna be a nice day today. Let's Yep. Let's do this to them when they know we need sunshine as well.
[00:36:39] Unknown:
Yep. Yep. Well, this chemtrail thing is is is quite controversial in it, but the existence of all the, patents going back a 100 years for weather modification, and and the use of it in war by the more inventive governments like the Americans, is is well documented. So any denial that exists is is is a bit going out there on a limb, really, when all the evidence supports his its existence. Definitely. When we go again, I mean, I love going back to think of it when I was a kid because I had a fantastic childhood Growing up on the farm, out burning my back to the extent that it was agony when you went in the shower in the evening. You know, there's there was no such thing as sunscreen.
No. You would come in burnt like a bloody beet room. And brown as a berry. And brown as a berry. That's what used to say. Shower. It would be agony. But you get it, you've got your shirt on, and you went on the lash in the evening, and and it's fantastic fun. I'd be I'd be a prime candidate for skin cancer if, if, as they say, it is the cause. And now, of course, we we got the potential for sunscreens to be causing Yes. Yes. Issues issues with your skin and other other, internal organs because, you know, the the skin allows it to soak through. We can't trust anything we are told by those that have a financial gain from getting us to to use, consume, whatever the shit is that that they produce.
Because most of it is that, isn't it? It's crap.
[00:38:32] Unknown:
Oh, it is. It is. Yeah. You know? I've gone as natural as I can. I mean, I've still got a long way to go, but you slowly go through that list of you well, you know, how you can make changes in a more natural way is like the whole food chain thing. We have been lied upon everything, and, you know, I've been learning a lot about food lately and raw milk and all the things that were good and gave us the goodness. They've all been stopped. Don't and, you know, don't cook in lard. It's really bad for you. Well, that comes in the top 3, I think, for one of the best food facts that you can cook in. Whereas the one that they've advertised at the top, sunflower oil and stuff, I think that used to be used to, start engines or something, didn't it? It used to be used in engines.
[00:39:15] Unknown:
Yeah. It was a mechanical lubricant that that they would needed to find another market for that that I've I've read. They they modified it in in some minor way, and then they fed it to the guinea pigs across the world. Yep. Yeah. You know, with with glamorous advertising on the television, probably some sexy Dolly bird there spreading on a piece of bread and giving it to her kids. You know, that whole bloody manipulation, that brainwashing that goes on that we don't realize.
[00:39:49] Unknown:
No. And now they've got this big thing that they're trying to stop, like, well, cut back on alcohol consumption and stop advertising for junk foods, until after 9 o'clock. Yeah. Because we know, don't we, the food aisles, there's only like, if you go to Tesco's, there's only 2 aisles, what I would call real food. The rest is just all processed junk, really.
[00:40:13] Unknown:
Yeah. Yeah. And I I think they they've obviously organized it so that food is pretty crap because a healthy, wealthy population with time on its hands would be a problem. It's getting back to where we where we started earlier, really. They they need to keep the masses working until they're too knackered to do anything else. You know? They don't have the time to do the sort of things that that I do, where because I'm self employed. I can organize my day that I could go to a meeting midmorning, midafternoon because I don't care. I'll I'll work until midnight to, to make up the time. But not everyone's able to do that, so they're much easier controlled.
And and while they got that control, they're going to continue to manipulate and do everything within their power to to keep that grip on the people.
[00:41:16] Unknown:
Yeah.
[00:41:17] Unknown:
And how how we you know, people got mortgages to pay, so you understand that you're you wanna protect your family in one way, but by doing so, you put them at risk in another way. And whether whether that be giving up your work time to protest so you you can be seen to try and to change things or whether you whether you don't go to protest because you need the funds to sustain your family in in the manner to which they become accustomed, something suffers every every time. Not all of us are in a, benefit you know, have the benefit of being in a position where we can juggle juggle things to, to try and make a change.
[00:42:06] Unknown:
Yeah. Sure. And moving on because we've only got, like, 18 minutes left. Can we can we go on your council tax story, Dave? So for those for the listeners, I was, wow, very inspired by Dave, but I couldn't go ahead because I'm a chicken ship. But, Dave hasn't paid his council tax for how many years? 4. 4 years. So what made you make that stand?
[00:42:38] Unknown:
I was fed up with being treated the way governments and councils treat us. And my theory is that you have to starve the beast. We pay the chief executive of Cornwall Council coming on for £200,000 a year, and add to that, you know, the preferential working conditions, probably a pension on top of that, the relocation payments that she would have had. We got counselors in there, on £50 odd £1,000 a year. I mean, the basic basic compensation, we'll call it, for being a counselor because, obviously, they need a bit of cash because they've given up their time, to become a counselor. I think the basic is 17,000.
But if you're someone like Linda Taylor, the the head of the conservatives, you have the chairmanship of this, the chairmanship of that. And I think she's on nearly $50 a year as a counselor.
[00:43:42] Unknown:
Nice.
[00:43:43] Unknown:
A £1,000 a week, and we got people in the community. Like, we were like, we've been saying all through this, the salt of the earth people bust in their nuts to pay those, their council tax. And the council tax is wasted by unaccountable supposed elected people and employees of us, the people. They're they're I believe they're a public trustee. They they have the responsibility to hack to act in the best intrant interest of We the Beneficiaries. Because if if if to trust, we're the beneficiaries and they're the trustees. It's their duty in law to do their best for us. And if they're not, then we have to withhold our payments.
It hasn't been easy. I mean, I've I've had the turn up, 2 or 3 occasions. But there is no law in the same there is in income tax. There's no law that says you have to pay. And if if we want to expand that slightly further, there's no law that applies to you and I, the flesh and blood, other than the law of your creator. You know, we were all put on this planet as equals. When did you give anyone else the authority that they could give you orders? Now there there is something known as as the straw man or your legal fiction that seems to have been created by your birth certificate.
Now that system creates if you imagine when you play Monopoly, it's you that pushes the character around the board. Or they create the character that you push around the board that is everyday life. That is a great explanation of it. So it it Yeah. It's your character that has the driving license. It's your character that that, has the National Insurance number that is obligated to pay tax. But, of course, it's a fiction. Your your legal fiction doesn't exist in the real realm, so it it can't perform any tasks. It can't get paid. So there would be no tax to pay.
So in reality, anyone acting as the flesh and blood being rewarded in an exchange for their some call it their sweat equity. If I if I did something for you as an exchange in value, you gave me something. That's all it is. It's an exchange. You're not paying me. It it's a big rabbit hole, and there are lot lots of nuances because the only way the only mechanism by which anyone can be paid is by silver and gold because that's the only money. And we're we're straying a little bit, but what we use and what we claim is money is merely an IOU.
Those bits of paper we swap, it it has it written on there. I I promise to pay the bearer on demand. You know, it has no value. Once once those notes were no longer backed by gold, You know, you can't take that note now and take it to your bank and and come away with 1 pound or 5 pound of silver or 5 pound of gold. If if you went in there, they would they would zap you at the door. They'd probably, have you taken off by a man in a white coat. And it it's that sort of thing that there's a whole matrix of things that are brought into play to keep us going around on that monopoly board to benefit those few people?
Could it be the committee of 300, you know, the Bilderbergers, the the global control structure that controls the world's finance, and through that, finance controls the world's banking system. Because money many people think that Bank of England is the money of England. You know, it's the money capital of England. It's it's it's a safety deposit box in which we keep our cash. It's crap. It's a privately owned bank, the same as the Federal Reserve, in the United States. It's all private money, and that private money is is is created by the banking system, and then our government borrows it from that banking system.
In fact, the the government could, if it wanted to, create its own money and not pay interest to the banks. There there was a system in operation in in the 20th century, and it, it the name of it escapes me now. But we could easily go back to that because we don't the only way we only reason we have to go along with the banks is because the banks own the world. Now if we, the masses, decided that we wanted to shake the system up, that that was a best for us and for the future of our children in the long term. We should all come together and and tackle that financial system, because, ultimately, that's what controls everything that goes on in our everyday life, controls our politics.
And many people say, I'm not interested in politics. The reality is that everything you do, everything I do, and everything everyone else does is because of politics. You can't get away from it. You can't hide from it. You have to tackle it head on.
[00:50:03] Unknown:
It's it's a very brave stance that you've made, and, you know, I do admire you for that and all the other people doing it. And I've always said if we could get everybody to say, right, we're not paying this, but it's it's for any bills, really, isn't it? Again, it's that enough bums on seats to back you up. And I think lately, you know, what are you gonna go without to pay your council tax? And when will you, you know, if if it was a bill that I truly couldn't afford, then, I wouldn't pay it. But so so you've had the bailiffs around, but they're now, if I understand from when I saw you last that, now they're bringing in a new method to try and get payment out of you.
[00:50:44] Unknown:
Yeah. I had a threat of being taken to jail recently.
[00:50:52] Unknown:
But it's a civil matter.
[00:50:54] Unknown:
It's a it's a civil matter. The the the problem is and I and I think I I can overcome that. But the problem is the judicial system, whilst it is obliged to be separate from from government, you know, laid out in statutes going back come 100 of years, the judiciary and and parliament are supposed to be completely separate. You know, no one is above the law, that that includes all of our ministers. It includes our king. We're all subject to the same laws. Now what's happening is that the judicial system has been taken over by the money men as well through through the book. It seems to be through the bar guild. Judges are I don't know.
I got no evidence, but I can suspect that a few have been fed young children. And we because we know that there are a lot of those people in high places, they've been dabbling in pedophilia. They've been they've been messing about with young boys, young children. It's been well documented over the years. How deep does that go? Probably very deep and deeper than than we could imagine, I expect. It's it's not that hard to get someone under your control. I wouldn't be surprised if if they could plant things in people's computers and then turn up up and and and do an investigation and say, bloody hell, mate. Look what we found on here.
[00:52:31] Unknown:
You know? Yeah. I was saying this to Joe the other night that I think, some people's concerns, you know, with the whole AI issue is that, I could potentially say something. Well, I somebody could say something and superimpose my voice on it with AI, send it off. I'll be done. Yep. Yep.
[00:52:52] Unknown:
You know? It is a bit of a worry, to be honest. I can't say it hasn't occurred to me because that very thing has. But what do you do? One of my well, my main motivator really is as much selfish as it is, to benefit everyone else. When when I'm old and decrepit in a couple of years' time, and I've sat in the chair and things have all turned to shit. My girls because I have 2 daughters. And the girls say to me oh, they'll know anyway, but this is hypothetically. When they might say to me, things have turned to shit down. What you know, and it's it all happened on your watch during your generation. What did you do? At least I can say, I did this. I did that. I tried to do the best I could within my, you know, my educational capabilities, my physical capabilities to try and make a change. You acted with integrity.
Yeah. Yeah. With with the best intentions. And, yes, it's, you know, I'll all be answered to some extent. It it's it's selfish. But if everyone adopted that selfish attitude, if everyone came together to fight for their own
[00:54:13] Unknown:
Oh, I don't think it's selfish at all. I think it's Yeah. Yeah, highly commendable, really. Yeah. That's the right word. Yeah. Definitely.
[00:54:23] Unknown:
So it's in our hands, really, Sean. By our hours, I mean, the the almost 8,000,000 people that don't have their fingers on the control pulse, the the worker ants that don't benefit from a trickle down system that actually power the trickle up system. We're we're not stashing hoards of anything, but those at the top are you know, they've taken we go back to the, the the pensions allowance thing again. We're still funding the restaurants and bars in parliament, in the houses of parliament. We're still funding their heat the ministers and MPs heating allowances.
If they had any integrity, those benefits would be the first to go because we're the ones that pay that as well. You know, they're hitting us from multiple points, from many directions. It shows a total lack of integrity and, consideration for the well-being of the worker rents, by what in the main is a class of people that makes up on the backbone of the political system. We get 1 or 2 that that that get in their token gestures, but they never get ministerial positions. They never get really important positions in the cabinets. They're just there to be ushered in and and told what to do by the whips.
You know? It it's all part of that shadow, that facade, that pantomime of democracy. I'm sick of it, to be honest. I think if I could I see your frustration
[00:56:13] Unknown:
inspire,
[00:56:14] Unknown:
I think if I could I see your frustration. Inspire. Yeah. But if I could inspire others to be sick of it, I will. But to do the best I can.
[00:56:20] Unknown:
Good. Good stuff. Well, look. We've only got a couple of minutes left, Dave. You wanted to mention about an upcoming rally for the Farmers Movement call? Yeah. Yeah.
[00:56:32] Unknown:
For those that haven't heard of Farmers Movement call, if if you, type it into your search engine, you you should find us, and you'll find an email address there. We would love for you to to make contact. You'll also find us on Facebook and Telegram. But early November, keep a lookout because we're we're planning, what will be one of the biggest events of this type, that that Cornwall has ever seen. We're hoping to get some big names that most of the, British population will be familiar with now. They're regularly on television, and I think that their message would be very, very well, certainly well delivered and, we believe, well received. Because when we, the, driving force of the Farmers Movement, Cornwall, have been handing out leaflets, at the carnival as well. You were there as well, and, Sally, so you you can be a testament to that.
It was fantastically well received what the farmers movement Cornwall is about, and that's fighting for the security of our food production, not only in in the British Isles, but specifically locally on our doorstep here in Cornwall.
[00:57:56] Unknown:
Oh, it sounds like it's gonna be a good one.
[00:57:58] Unknown:
Well, I'm I'm very excited by it, and I know the the other, Joe and Pete are as well. We're doing all, like, what we can to to bring it to fruition. Nothing's guaranteed, but,
[00:58:12] Unknown:
watch this space. Watch this space. Yeah. Great stuff. Well, we better close off there, Dave. Wasn't that bad, was it?
[00:58:20] Unknown:
No. No. It's just it's been a great chat, Shelley. Yeah. No. We'll do it again. You. Bless you. Yeah. Although I I hate sort of I'm I'm not your, I'm not the man at the front.
[00:58:31] Unknown:
Yeah. But if you've got a bloody good voice, you you should be speaking more.
[00:58:35] Unknown:
Yeah. Again, you you gotta go grow some balls and and, get out of your comfort zone and try and deliver your message, won't you? Yeah. You'll be doing lives next, Facebook lives.
[00:58:47] Unknown:
Alright, my lovely. Well, let I'm gonna let you go. Thanks so much, Dave. And, yeah, Farmers Movement Cornwall, Facebook, or look on the Internet. Right. I'll speak to you soon, my lovely. You take care.
[00:58:59] Unknown:
Alright. Talk to you now. Bye bye. Bye. Bye.
[00:59:03] Unknown:
Right. Well, that's it. Another week done and dusted. So I'll be back the same time next week. I've got a great guest who's a big researcher on the Titanic. We're actually gonna do 2 shows for the next 2 weeks because, well, it's not a not a light subject, really. He's a big researcher on it. So I'll be back the same time next week. Have an awesome week, guys.
