Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com

In this lively midweek edition of the Shelley Tasker Show, Shelley and co‑host Mallificus Scott bounce from the personal to the political with trademark warmth and wit. They open with a playful chat on the perception of time and the curious lifespans of flies, before segueing into home fixes and practical hacks (from bamboo flood defences to shopping trolley key tricks) and the joys and perils of classic motors and warranties. The cultural thread runs through carry-on humour, Police Academy nostalgia, music covers, and a Bill Hicks comedy interlude, while a deeper line of discussion explores dreams, sleep, and how busy modern life reshapes attention and creativity.

The second half pivots to current affairs: digital ID proposals and civil liberties, how media narratives are seeded, and why community resistance matters. Shelley highlights the renaming of a pub to the George Orwell as a pointed protest, while guest Jo Wood joins to unpack grassroots action—from the Trailer of Truth tour to a mass farmer–veteran march in Liverpool—urging listeners to build local systems and say no to overreach. There’s a touching segment on post‑pandemic health concerns and compassion for those harmed, all wrapped in humour, music, and a spirited call for community, commonsense and courage.

[00:04:02] Unknown:

Yeah. All that, I'm  

[00:04:21] Unknown:

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.   Welcome to the Shelley Tasker Show coming live from radiosoapbox.com,   also being aired on Clear Air FM, the sound freedom.   Happy Hump Day. Today is Wednesday, October 1.   We are now officially into autumn.  

[00:04:39] Unknown:

I'm joined by my wonderful cohost, mister Malefika Scott. Good evening, mister Scott. Good evening, missus Tasker. Guys, a week already. It's going around I know. At the moment, isn't it? And there's lots going on, I guess.  

[00:04:52] Unknown:

Yeah. I don't I don't know if it's just me, but I just feel that time in general is just crazy.  

[00:04:58] Unknown:

It's getting faster and faster. I don't know the way the weeks are going. Well, you're getting older. That's the problem, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, we're all getting older. I I've got this I had this theory when I was a kid, right, that when you're   you know you know how they reckon that flies   capture time   a lot you know, they have a lot more frames per second, so everything seems   slower to them. Hence, when you swipe at a fly, it can always get out of the way. You know?   Right? So I remember watching a a nature program years ago where they theorized, and, obviously, they don't know because nobody's ever been a fly. Right? But they theorized that, you know, what we see as normal time, they see a slow motion. And it got my brain thinking, you know, because I I used to hear all these adults saying, god, everything goes so quick. And there's me thinking, wow.   A second. You know, when I look back, you know, a second used to take ages for me. It takes about half a second now.  

Yeah. Yeah. I never knew that about flies. I must look into that. I don't know whether it's true. Right? But I fear after seeing this nature program as a kid, I kinda theorize that as you get older,   you you,   you take in less frames per second because your brain's getting full up. And, therefore, like a like an old movie where they didn't have as as many frames per second, if you play it at normal speed, everything looks speeded up.  

[00:06:16] Unknown:

Yeah. Well, I don't think flies live for very long, do they really? Actually,   I've just done a quick search because you intrigued me.   The average housefly   lives fifteen to thirty days.   Yeah. What about all those ones that hibernate in the loft? How does that work? Oh god. I don't know anything about them. Horseflies, they live for a few weeks to a couple of months. Fruit fly, two to four weeks.   But they in general, they live longer in cooler environments and shorter in hotter ones.   Most spend only a small part of their life as adults. The majority of their life cycle is in the egg, larva, maggot, and pooper stages. Oh, maggots grim.   Yeah. I could read on, but that's not my subject tonight.  

But it is interesting.  

[00:07:01] Unknown:

But it's just the thought that that that your perception of time actually changes as you get older, and therefore, everything does seem a bit more accelerate. Oh my god. Is it 12:00 already? Oh, I'm supposed to have got this done. Do you know what I mean? It's almost like the more you fill your time with, the the faster time seems to go.  

[00:07:16] Unknown:

Is it just that life is so busy?   And I mean, that's gotta be a good thing because if it was well, I don't know. Are some people like they like being bored, don't they? I just don't ever get a chance to be bored. I don't understand how people get and and do you remember being bored as a kid? It was like the most dreadful and painful thing in the world.   Torture. Yeah. I used to always remember the end of the the school holidays, the end of the Christmas holidays, and you got bored playing with your toys. And I used to look forward to going back to school. I used to like school, see my friends and stuff, but, yeah, being really bored with all those presents as well. What an ungrateful kid.  

[00:07:53] Unknown:

I can't remember ever really wanting to go back to school. I because I used to hang around with all my mates that I went to school with anyway. So it was just like, you know, the school was a bit of a hindrance, really.   I guess it wasn't in the long run, but  

[00:08:07] Unknown:

I loved it. If I was poorly, I would still want to go to school. I mean, we are talking primary school. Yeah. So I just loved all the reading, the writing. And to be fair, I miss writing now. And I sat down the other day and I had to write something out and I thought it's so nice to have a pen and I've got lots of stationery. I love stationery, and I'm quite a neat hand writer.   And I thought I missed the days when you would write things,  

[00:08:32] Unknown:

You know, I used to write letters to people when yeah. I just like the whole physical thing of writing. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I've got lots of riffs and and chord sequences that could do with some lyrics, missus Tassley.  

[00:08:45] Unknown:

Oh, I did write a little lyric in my head last night, actually, and I was like, write that down, Shelley. Write that down. Yeah. Write it down.   To get creative. Yeah. Okay. Okay. The show.  

[00:08:55] Unknown:

We'll do some work. I I use you're not allowed to use AI.  

[00:08:59] Unknown:

No. I wouldn't. Not for something like that.   No. I used to write songs many, many years ago. And I mean, probably early teens and wrote a bit news, bit of music at songs, Christmas, Christmas songs, and stuff like that. And when I was going through the motions of first love and things like, yeah. God, I used to write loads. They'd be quite probably sad to look at   now. But, yeah, I used to like it. But I have noticed, like, I keep saving all these things, that pop up on social media,   little, like, handicrafts   objects, you know, projects, sorry, like how to make a little Halloween,   bit of bunting and stuff out of card and twigs at a witch's broom. And I'm like, I send them all to myself, and I think, when are you ever gonna do this, Shelley?  



[00:09:44] Unknown:

Yeah. I think it's quite the idea.  

[00:09:46] Unknown:

Yeah. I I guess it's the I I I kind of every yeah. I because, you know, I'm a bit of a computer gamer anyway.  

[00:09:54] Unknown:

Just a bit. Only a year of your life dedicated to one game. That makes you a a professional gamer,  

[00:10:00] Unknown:

Well, I don't get paid for it, so I'm still an amateur.   But but, you know, every day, I will this is a really sad habit of mine. Right? And I'm I'm sorry if I lose listeners over this, but I've got this really sad habit of every day, I have to log in to Steam   and see what suggestions they give me. That's games.   Oh, okay. Has just joined this, and he's been given these vouchers and stuff. And to be fair, there's some pretty cool games. Oh, yeah. I mean, Steam is just a platform that, you know, anything you can get on PC, you can get it on Steam. Yeah. Yeah. And there's stuff that's exclusive to Steam as well, but, you know, not much.  

[00:10:38] Unknown:

Yeah. It's it's quite good. I mean, he pay plays all these car racing games, and he bought, one of these steering wheels that attaches to it last week with the pedals. So he felt like he was. And then he, designed a car that was red BMW like mine and crashed it into a wall and said, this would be unfixable, mom, because my car's gone into repair again, obviously, after I left the handbrake off the other day and it rolled through the drive and smashed at the side. But Well, thank goodness   for your gate post is all I can say. Oh, absolutely. Could have, like, re realistically, it could have really hurt somebody, couldn't it? Not so much that. I just if it got No. Don't worry about them. Just worry about my car.  

[00:11:16] Unknown:

I'm not being funny if it went out into the road because the handbrake had been left off and someone had gone into the side of it. You wouldn't have a leg to stand on, would you? They they No. No. They'd just be like, right, Noel. Yeah. It's your fault. Insurance, you know, blah blah blah. I am very forgetful with the handbrake because my car still drives quite well when it's on.  

[00:11:35] Unknown:

And I'll be in the day. It was squeaking every time I touched the brakes. And I was like, Shelly, you've got the handbrake on still.   Anyway, it still drives fine, but it's gone in for a little bit of TLC. I've got a friend.   I call him my personal mechanic, really. He fixes things for me at a good rate. He's a good mate as well and, gives him something to do, Maleficos. Yeah. Well, it's it's it's good not to be bored. That's that's It is. There's a running theme. There's a there's a running theme occurring   here. Yeah. Yeah. And, I mean, I went with him to drop my car off, and we went to the paint shop. And it was quite interesting how they, like, swatch your car, the paint and everything. And I thought, you know what? If I just learn how to do this myself, every time I do something, I can respray it. But then you have to be bothered to do it. That's the problem, isn't it? Whereas some Yeah. True. With that stuff. They do. They do. But I like it. All these, like, garages with these men or rough as anything   or swearing and what have you. I like being in that environment. I get I don't get to be there very often. Rude magazine. Rude, rude, not rude magazines, rude calendars. In Oh, I don't know. I didn't get to go in the staff room. That's the thing.  



[00:12:44] Unknown:

All mechanics had a dirty calendar in Yeah. Yeah. Didn't they? Back in the day, back in the end. Yeah. We're talking today, talking of silly things like that because, I mean, it's just it's just it was just one of those things back in the day, wouldn't it?   But the other thing is all the do you remember all the,   postcards   that you used to get down here in Cornwall?   And they were all, like, very carry on film.   They were all cartoons, and they all had, like, smutty things going on in there. And you could go to, you know, any,   you know, any sort of beach shop, and they would have these for sale in Cornwall. Right. Do do you remember any of those? I don't remember them. No. Oh my goodness. It was like an Perhaps they were too high for me because they were a bit rude. No. They used to just be on, like, on the postcard rack that span round outside the shops where I grew up. And, you know, you as a kid, you'd go down. There was nothing like gratuitous. It was all just like cheeky kind of   what I call,   you know, carry on movie   sort of humor. Right. You know, that kind of thing, but all just done in cartoons. And people used to get a a rude postcard and send it back home. Do you know what I mean? And everyone would go Yeah.  

And then they'd read the boring message on the back. You know?   Yeah. And we're just saying today, like, how none of that exists anymore.   And rightly so because it's misogynistic and and all that kind of thing.   And there was even talk of the so this came up today, and apparently, there's even talk of they're trying to ban the carry on films from being shown on Oh my goodness.  

[00:14:21] Unknown:

They were brilliant in their time, weren't they? I mean, they're still brilliant now.   And like the police academy films, I've got an urge to watch them again.  

[00:14:32] Unknown:

Perhaps they're rubbish, but I enjoyed them as a child. Oh, do you know what? I loved them as a kid. Everyone everyone wanted to make sound effects like Jones.   Honestly,   it it was one of those one of those iconic sort of   movies back in the day, the Police Academy. I think by Police Academy three, I think it had kind of,   lost it a bit. Yeah. Yeah.   Yeah. It's typical Hollywood, innit? Gotta milk everything for as much as you possibly can until it flocks. Oh, definitely.   You know?  

[00:15:03] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.  

[00:15:07] Unknown:

So, anyway, how have you been since last week? Have you had a good week? I've had a good week, actually. I have I've planted this week a bamboo flood defense.   Not in your garden or for somebody else? No. No. In my garden. Crikey. I was gonna say have to have some tide to get up this far, missus. I tell you, you would.   Oh, okay. Interesting. So, look, one one of the people that I I sort of go problem solve for here and there,   she's got a river that runs through the bottom of the property.   And and it's beautiful, beautiful garden. So I've I've shown you a few little silly bits that I've done there. That mushroom that I made,   I think about. Yeah. Very artistic. Very good, ain't it? I yeah. But Very artistic. Chainsaw or all that kind of thing. Well, she's go where the river enters her property, it takes sort of, like, a   fifty, sixty degree bend.  



[00:15:59] Unknown:

Right.  

[00:16:00] Unknown:

And sometimes there's a there's a place up the hill that's got water sports.   Sometimes I think they have to lose a bit of water or whatever because every so often, you'll just get this   tsunami come down the blooming   waterway.   And what it does is it breaches the bank   and   washes away all the bark chip and everything from around her beds, wash it, you know, and just does a lot of damage, you know, pulls paths apart and all that kind of thing.   So,   basically, I've been going around her her garden.   I went around her garden on Monday and dug up.   Digging up bamboo, Shelley, is not funny. It really isn't funny. No. I can imagine.  

It's one of those plants, isn't it, that's like on the ground than it is above. And you know how tough bamboo is. Right? So,   so I've been digging you know, where where you get these big clumps of bamboo, you get, like, these little offshoots,   and it makes another little sprig of is that what you call it? I don't know. A little sprig of bamboo comes up. Well, these sprigs were about, I don't know,   twelve, fourteen feet high.   Crikey. So I'm there digging and they but they're only they're only, like, at the base, sort of, like, eight inches across.   Eight you know, maybe 10 inches across. So you're there sort of, like, digging away and just pulling it out. And, obviously, it's attached to the main plant by, like, what they by a root, essentially, a rhizome that goes under the ground. So you take it all up as well as the rhizome that that attaches it to the main plant   and go and bury it elsewhere. And the other   the other thing that you can do with bamboo, which I found out this week, which is really interesting, if you want to plant a bamboo hedge,   all you have to do is have,   say, a few lengths of fresh   bamboo   that's mature.  

And, you know, bamboo's got those little nodules on it as it goes up.   Yeah. Right. So if you snip it   underneath the nodule   at an angle and then snip it flat above the nodule,   It's called a growth node, and you just push it in the ground, and it will go.   Wow. Given enough water and and all that kind of thing.   So, basically,   I've planted probably about 10 feet of these clumps   of bamboo,   and, my other house been coming behind me, snipping up the bamboo and filling in all the gaps.   Right. So, yeah, hopefully, in a year's time, the,   the customer's not gonna have the same problem with when the water comes down because we should have a nice bit of a barrier forming there to health care. Apparently, it's used as a natural flood defense. So,   at least that's what it is. So fingers crossed it's gonna work. So that was my This is quite an educational  

[00:18:43] Unknown:

program this week, isn't it? The lifespan of a fly,   bamboos.   Crikey, we're on fire. You just made me think, actually, I drove past a house today,   and someone's office got quite a long wall around the front of their house. And somebody I should imagine has driven into it, but it's all smashed up probably about three meters or so if that, and what they've done is to block that bit off so no one can see into their garden. They put a windbreak there.  

[00:19:11] Unknown:

Often, what a great idea. Good effort. Good effort. I mean, yeah, it's not not very permanent, but it'll do for the moment. No. It'll do. It'll do. Skinny dipping into your hot tub or whatever. Yeah.  

[00:19:23] Unknown:

Yeah. Oh, dear.  

[00:19:25] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. So there we are. There we are. Yeah. That is a good idea.  

[00:19:30] Unknown:

Yeah. I'm full of well, it wasn't my idea, but I do like little hacks like that that save the day. My favorite hack of all time  

[00:19:37] Unknown:

favorite hack of all time, Shelley, is getting to the supermarket, realizing you don't have one of those silly little fobs or a pound coin to put in the bloody trolley to get it off the chain.   If you've got a door key that's got a round Yeah. Top to it, pop pop that in the little thing, and it works like a pound coin.  

[00:19:59] Unknown:

I remember you told me that. I know a corned beef opener, mind you, not that we really carry those around. Those are not. I don't really have one   kitchen.  

[00:20:09] Unknown:

No.  

[00:20:11] Unknown:

No. But they do work.   Yeah. But I tend to keep one in the car along with my shopping bags, and it's when I get in there   and realize that I've left all my shopping bags in the car,   and I try to grab as many empty boxes that are around or sometimes even take things out of them so that they're empty and I can use them because I really begrudge   buying for another bag  

[00:20:34] Unknown:

when I've got loads of them in the boot of my car and not home. Yeah. Bag for life. How many lives have you Bag for life. Yeah. Lives have you got in the back of your car? Yeah. You know what I mean? I know. Exactly.  

[00:20:44] Unknown:

It's mental. But those bags, I've got to say, we use them for everything. If we go to the beach for the day, I'll use one of those bags that I go to Aldi with.   It's perfect.   Yeah. Yeah. They are my go to. So and in the loft, they're full of them with, like, Christmas decorations in.   So, Eddie, money. There we are.  

[00:21:04] Unknown:

Yeah. No. I the last time I used them for something that wasn't shopping was to,   go over to one of one of the ladies I worked for had, like, literally a dumpy bag and a half full of apples from her trees this year.   I'm gonna have to take them back a lot harsher next year. They fruited like crazy this year. So,   yeah, I'd I'd the last time I used them not for shopping was to go and pick up a couple of big bags of apples and bring them back and   and, you know, peel them and cut them up and   freeze them down or or use them for, you know, applesauce. Yeah. All that kind of stuff. We are. Yeah.   Yeah. Cool.  

So I did mention at the beginning of the show. I'm not gonna touch on it much.   But I did mention at the beginning of the show that, they are gonna be reinvest investigating   Hunter s Thompson's   death.   So Hunter s Thompson,   pretty famous, pretty out spoken guy.   Always was a lot of controversy   around his death.   I think, actually,   maybe we could get Patrick on at some point because, because he can   he knows a bit about that. I don't know how much he knows, but quite he knows more than I do anyway.   So   just, one hour ago, this is from the BBC or probably a couple now. Colorado Colorado officials are reviewing the death of journalist Hunter s Thompson Hunter s Thompson twenty year years after it was ruled   a suicide   at the request of his widow.  

Apparently,   it was conducting a case review   of the 2005   in investigation into his death, though the agency said it was not a result   of new   evidence. So   I wonder what they're gonna find.   But, you know, interesting. He was so very, very outspoken, and and one of the things I remember him being really outspoken about   was the,   the he was interviewed by an Australian radio station when the, when nine eleven occurred, the two towers went down in New York.   And I remember him specifically saying, when something like this happens, you've got to ask yourself, who stands to gain?   Yeah. Kinda stuck with me. So, yeah, interesting. I know that there was a lot of controversy surrounding his death.  

So   I can't say I've really heard of him. I don't recognize the name anyway. Have you watched the film with Johnny Depp called Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas?   No.   Well, maybe you should No. I put it on my watch list. Yeah. Put it on your watch list. It's semi auto buyer   semi autobiographical   story about the counterculture of the nineteen sixties of which Hunter and Hunter s Thompson was a part. So, and he wrote he wrote the film, I believe.   But I think John Depp might live with Hunter s Thompson for a little while to work out some of his mannerisms and his this, that, and the you know what I mean?  

[00:23:57] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.   Oh, I love it. I love things like that. Yeah.   We we went to the cinema, a couple of weeks ago, actually, and we watched the movie   The Long Walk. It's originally a novel by Stephen King,   and I love his stuff. Oh my god. It was very Stephen King's is long. Yeah.   Well, the the movie wasn't too long.   I don't know how old the book is, but it's based on a   a utopian   future where basically   15 men around their state are selected   to walk. And the last one standing is the winner and they basically get to choose   what they won out of life. But it's, it's, I should imagine it was quite a cheap film to make because it was lots of walking,   but it was so thought provoking.  

And like the next day, I mean, it was really good. My brother came along as well. The next day, I was on the gym on the treadmill, and I text my brother, and I said, you know, I'm on the treadmill walking, and I'm thinking about the movie last night. I've done so far, I don't know, half a mile. He's like, you've only got another 333   miles to go, and I hope you don't need the toilet.   Because it was quite, oh, it was really good. I won't go into too much detail, but yeah. Walk in the same direction.   Yeah. Yeah. And they can, they've got to stay   within a minimum pace.  

And if they stop, they've only got, like, three times to stop. I don't wanna give it away too much, but it was good. It was really good. I do like a, like, dark film like that. So Yeah. I I must admit, I've never been a huge fan of ski Stephen King's work.   Oh, I love his stuff from a young age. It and things like that. But I do wonder now. I mean, I I seem to be going through a stage of having lots of nightmares at the moment. And I mean, the other night, I nearly woke Darren up. It was that real. And it's, it's just crazy. I've had a week of it. I know. And I was thinking like, is it like something brewing? And I do have the most vivid dreams and I most morning, I'm like, I'll tell you what I dreamt about last night. But the last week I've like almost turned into someone that's in a Freddy Krueger nightmare on Elm Street film. I don't wanna go to sleep.   But,   interestingly, I was looking into it the other night and because I do like two or three sleeps a week at work, I take a small amount of diazepam. Otherwise I just will not sleep.  

And apparently when you take these type of benzos,   they sedate you rather than you going into an REM sleep. So then when you stop taking them, you almost have double the effects of REM sleep, which can come into nightmares.   But literally every night it was awful because then, yeah, it does. You just don't feel refreshed. But like I said, the other night from haunted houses   and they're always struggle dreams of being chased and, you know, me giving people the wrong medication back working at the hospital and stuff like that. But,  

[00:26:52] Unknown:

oh my gosh, I've been exhausted when I wake up. But, hey, hey. Yes. It kinda reflects on the work you did as well, I I suppose. Probably. Yeah. Because it's it's it's it's high stress, things like that. I mean, I remember   I I the last time, I think, I   I had I've I've had a couple of nightmares in recent years, but one that is is really,   quite prominent was when me and my missus first got together. We both worked in the same place, and it was a it was fairly high pressure job. I was chefing. She was,   worked elsewhere in the establishment.  

And,   Yeah. I remember waking up one night, like   yeah. Because we were doing I I've I've gotta back this up by saying we were doing, like, 280 covers a night on average over the summer.   And that was that was a   half past five   opening   till half past nine. So it was four hours of service, and we turned out on average about 280   meals a night. So it was high Cranky. High pressure.   And one of the things that always used to catch me   out was I'd the the grills in there were so hot, and the garlic bread was already made up and done up. All you had to do was just pop it under the grill for what? Twenty seconds. Literally, twenty seconds.   So while it was in there, I grabbed something else, and I grabbed it. I burnt it again,   and I burned it again. So I woke up when me and my missus first got together,   I actually woke up having an anxiety dream that I'd burnt the garlic bread. So  

[00:28:22] Unknown:

I can imagine those struggle dreams because quite often I have dreams where I used to work in a pub when I was   16. And   the lady   that was my boss,   she died quite a few years ago now of cancer blast. She was quite young,   but she is actually in these dreams. I'm working in that kitchen again.   And she has appeared to me quite a few times and we'll have another converse. We'll have be having a normal conversation,   but as time went on and I was having these dreams,   I would look at her and I'd say,   but you are dead.   And then she would say, oh, Shelly, don't cry.  

And I haven't seen her. I haven't had a dream. I probably will tonight now,   but   it was almost like, I do believe you see dead people   in your dream or in these moments before waking and stuff. Cause I've seen lots of people that have passed over. They've come to me in dreams.   And, but it was really weird. Because the first few times that there was never any realization that she was dead in my dream, but that last dream that I can remember, I said, hang on a minute. You are dead.  

[00:29:24] Unknown:

You know? Yeah. I Oh, no. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No. No  

[00:29:42] Unknown:

I do. I think it's it's always when you're at that lucid dreaming stage, either before you go into a deep sleep or before you wake up. And I've had it several times over the years, and I'll be like, I've just seen. And I do believe that they come and see you. I don't think it was just a dream.  

[00:29:58] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. I each to their own. I'd yeah. I'm not wise enough to know. Their own. I know you're not very spiritual. It's not that. I'm just not wise enough to know. Anyway, we're at the bottom of the hour, Shelley.  

[00:30:09] Unknown:

Crikey. That's gone quick.  

[00:30:10] Unknown:

So, folks, you are listening live to the Shelley Tasker Show.   We are coming live out of radiosoapbox.com.  

[00:30:17] Unknown:

And And clear FM clear air FM, the sound of freedom.  

[00:30:23] Unknown:

Excellent.   So you've sent me are any of the things you've sent me music to play at the interlude?  

[00:30:30] Unknown:

Yes. The interlude,   crikey, we're posh.   I think you should play.   I've had great fun, like, looking at this people doing covers and stuff. Oh, it's great.   It is. It is. One of my favorite songs of all time is Gautier.   Somebody that I used to love. Do you know the one I mean?   Yeah. Well, the cover that I sent you,   think about it when it's playing, but I actually watched the video   and it's five people all playing the same guitar.   You've got the lady playing the main bit at the bottom end. Then you've got somebody strumming the bits at the top and other bit. Another man is tapping it for the drumbeat   and another man is playing in between. It's an amazing video to   watch. So,  

[00:31:14] Unknown:

yes, that's my choice for tonight's interlude. Okay. Well, here comes the interlude, folks. Stay tuned.  

[00:31:20] Unknown:

We'll be back. See you in a sec.  

[00:31:42] Unknown:

Somebody that I used to know.  

[00:31:45] Unknown:

Love it.  

[00:31:47] Unknown:

It's a tune.   It is a tune. Oh, it's it's got a reprise as well. I didn't know that.  

[00:31:53] Unknown:

Or did I.  

[00:31:55] Unknown:

Yeah. Good video to watch to see five people playing the same guitar differently. Gonna say, but I think I've actually seen that that video. It's it's it's a fairly old one now, but it's yeah. Do you know what always strikes me about that is that,   not only did they manage to actually all crowd around the same guitar. Obviously, I think, like, some of the recording,   vocal recording bits, I think, were probably a little bit added to and and stuff. But both of them have got really, really nice voices,   like the girl and the guy.  

Yeah. There was a little bit of vocoding   going on with there was a little bit of digital enhancement for some of the guys' stuff.   But other than that, yeah, it was a really, really nice cover. Really nice cover. Did I'm glad you enjoyed it, Ed. Did Goce actually do any other tunes that you know? Because Not that I know of. No. Because a a friend of mine   got taken. Her her son took her to see Goce because she loved that tune.   And,   she got back from the concert. I said, how was it? And she said she was like, no. Yeah. Yeah. It was alright. I said, well, did they did they play the song you wanted? And she said, well, yeah. She said, but I didn't really like much of the rest of it.  

[00:33:10] Unknown:

Yeah. I just quite like that. Yeah. So who knows?  

[00:33:13] Unknown:

Who knows? I never I never heard any other tune of theirs. So any any listeners want to bombard me with a a tune of GoChess that was actually as good as that one,   feel free.  

[00:33:25] Unknown:

Do it. Yes.   Right. Moving onwards. Yeah. Mister Scott, let's get into the whole digital ID thing. Oh, okay.   Oh, see, I'm not, I'm not too concerned to be honest with you at the moment, because like everything it's all massively.   I dunno. I see the media so much of it that you look at these days and it's all to get people up in arms and stuff like that.   So basically   looking   into this, I've done a bit of a bit of a rabbit hole sort of dive,   but looking into at the moment, when you think back to the whole vaccine passports.   Okay. And they didn't work. Vaccination  

[00:34:03] Unknown:

ID, you mean?   That's what I mean. Before that's what you were kind of angling towards.  

[00:34:10] Unknown:

Yes. Well well, they didn't quite get there, did they? No. Because   apparently and these are the reasons why it didn't get there. It says,   the scientifical   scientific and practical limitations that transmission wasn't fully blocked by vaccines.   Can you believe that?   It became clear apparently that while vaccines were excellent   at reducing severe illness and death, They didn't completely stop infection or transmission,   especially with the delta and later on, omicron variants.   That's undermined the main public health justification for passports.   So and, also, there was obviously the political resistance.  

Many   MPs, they argued that it was discriminatory   and it would create a two tier society.   And while some supported the idea, others saw it as a government overreach.   Yeah. And then the economical and social concerns, nightclubs, pubs argued it would be costly and impractical.   And, obviously, tourism and events, a fear that requiring proof of vaccination would deter attendance.   And then alternatives were prioritized.   The government instead leaned on mass vaccination campaigns, testing, and guidance.   But you remember there was a time we were all like, crikey, it's all happening. Do you remember the Christmas adverts   when Tesco were, like, advertising and stuff? You know, get your vaccine, and you could have it on your phone.  



[00:35:36] Unknown:

They were absolutely crazy times, and you you look back,   you look back on those times. And you you ask just the man in the street when they look you you about those times.   Yeah. It's only five years ago. People can't believe I think there's a lot of disbelief   of what was actually behind it. There's, obviously, there's a huge amount of disbelief. But people can't believe you know, people just say, oh, yeah. Yeah. But that was then.   You know? And I think because because things like you were saying, because because time moves so quick when you're an adult, and when you're an adult is apparently the only time you're supposed to be interested in anything that occurs to you, like,   politically.  

You know?   No no kid wanted to pay any attention to it or did they? You know? They just went along with what their parents said or whatever. They either had the vaccine or they didn't.  

[00:36:24] Unknown:

Yeah. Unfortunately.   But that's like the the only time before this kind of thing has, like, really been pushed, and people are up in arms, obviously, at the moment. It during Blair's government. Blair tried to bring in a citizen ID as well. Yep.   The brick well, it's it's the brick card. And interestingly looking into it because people are up in arms. And what we gotta remember at the moment, though, that we've got until spring   until 2026   because   mandatory is it's not been, passed yet through government or anything like that. It starts with a mindset. Speculation.   It starts with a But it does. And and and this is where I do see people. You gotta look forward to, like, where it is actually going.  

But the government,   brick card,   they they're proposing that it's gonna be mandatory by 2029,   but it's not been   placed before parliament. And, actually, there's a massive   online   survey, one of these government surveys that so far has already had two and a half million people that have said no.  

[00:37:25] Unknown:

So they have to debate it in parliament. Oh, well, that's that's good. They'll they'll debate it at least. Yeah. That that Well, they do have to debate it. It it puts all our minds at rest, doesn't it? If the parliament don't just debate it, then Yeah. I'm not too that they'll get to the bottom of the problem, and they'll solve it or not. They'll solve everything.  

[00:37:42] Unknown:

It will be fine. It will I mean, I'm not too concerned because   I can't imagine   for I mean, the thing is we've always got to see the bigger picture, haven't we, where this will go. But at the moment,   it is literally linked   to,   so they say foreign immigration. Well, that's not gonna help at all because it actually takes an illegal immigrant   two years to get processed. So if they try and find work in that time, they're not gonna have a Brit card. But I suppose if people ask card, the first thing they're gonna say is, well, you're allowed to be here.   Yes. Yes.  

So but there there's so much   speculation about it at the moment.   And,   I don't I'm not one to worry too much, but it's like people say it's the bigger picture. Once they've got that, where does it move forward then? But see what's being speculated at the moment,   the Daily Mail, I think it was the Daily Mail, has come out lots of times on x and stuff like that, is that   the person that owns the company for the app is Tony Blair's son.   Yes. But yeah. Absolutely. So they're all interlinked. We know that anyway.  

[00:38:47] Unknown:

The the the the young global leaders   and all that thing. You know?   The young global leaders from Klaus Schwab.   They're all in on it. They they've all been on in in on it for for   for donkey's years. You know? That's the thing, isn't it?   They've got the   they've all been in on it   for   years and years and years. And when I say years and years and years, you know,   for at least the last hundred and fifty to two hundred and fifty   depending on how far back in history you want to go. And look at, you know, as with all wars, who ends up funding them,   you know?  



[00:39:30] Unknown:

So Well, this is it. You know? So Napoleon  

[00:39:33] Unknown:

Napoleon   was funded   by the same family.   Yes. Different bank, different country, same family   as   as as,   Wellington's   men were.   Yeah. So All backed by the same size. Backed by the same bank bank role. Really? Yeah. And alright. Yeah. Oh, there's a different bank. Yes. Of course. But it's the same family.   So, you know, how far back do you wanna go with it? I mean, at the end of the day,   they've all been towing the line, and they're pushing forward with an obvious agenda that we all we we're all very much I mean, sure, I know Radio Soapbox listeners are, but I'm sure,   free air listeners also are   more than well equipped to understand that there is this blatant need an agenda at hand. There is. And and that's where it's at the biggest the bigger picture. And, I mean, obviously, at the moment,  

[00:40:27] Unknown:

it's just stating that it's it's to verify the right to work and live. But the problem is  

[00:40:33] Unknown:

we know where the how far this goes. This is how it starts. Drip fed. It's all drip fed. And the thing is look. The thing is the reason it's all being put out there, as you as you rightly say, the media is   is not just there to plant seeds in the in the   psyche of the, you know, of the country.   The media is also there to incite, and largely, it's there to incite more than anything.   How many things you remember I used to make that joke when I was on Andy's show about what's the difference between   conspiracy theory and reality   or conspiracy theory in the mainstream media,   you know.  

The joke was about six months to two years depending on what the subject matter is. Now all the stuff that me and you   and many others were talking about back in 2020,   well, most of it's come to light now. It's kind of been swept under the carpet a bit just so that all those people who   domicilely   follow just what's put in front of them because the TV said so. You know, Tommy Robinson.   Tommy Robinson.   Tommy Tommy.  

[00:41:43] Unknown:

You're his greatest fan. Stop, fibbing. I  

[00:41:47] Unknown:

love I love Tommy to bits. Yeah. He's yeah. He's just he makes me laugh. In two weeks. He makes me laugh every time I see him. So, you know, you can't you if someone makes you laugh, mate, you know, you you've gotta, you know, give him the give him the credit that's due.  

[00:42:03] Unknown:

And we do need to laugh in these times. We really do. We certainly do. And, you know, I mean, I'm not up in arms against it because, I mean, to be honest with you and I mean, we've got and it's you can still use your paper,   like, ID cards and stuff like that because, obviously, elderly people, they're not gonna have smartphones and stuff like that. I don't believe how they will ever  

[00:42:25] Unknown:

make that possible. So let me But I sent you example. Let me just Go on. So you got about to talk about the clip?   Just a short clip. Yeah. Yeah. So I'm just gonna give you another quick example.   Have you traveled out of the country recently,  

[00:42:41] Unknown:

missus Jessica?  

[00:42:42] Unknown:

No. No? Oh, I suppose so. I went to Turkey a few months ago. Well, did that require a passport, did it? Well, it did. Yeah. Yeah. So we're already using some sort of ID. Your passport because passports aren't just paper nowadays, are they? What's in the back of your passport  

[00:42:57] Unknown:

in inlaid underneath your photograph?   I don't know. Have you got your passport to hand?  

[00:43:05] Unknown:

No.   Have you got yours to hand? Yeah. I have, actually.   Have you?  

[00:43:12] Unknown:

Mine inspired. But, yeah, no. Underneath inlaid inlaid between because it's quite thick, the the the the piece that your   photograph and everything is inlaid into.   In in the back of that is a scannable chip.   So I hate to break it to everyone. If you've got a passport, you're already they'll just transfer it onto another little plastic card and say, oh, look. Look. We've created this new thing. No. No. They haven't.  

[00:43:40] Unknown:

Yeah. I don't think it's much different for those   already at the moment. I mean, yes. I do. Like, if I wanna book a doctor's appointment, I do it through the NHS app. I can get an appointment that way. If I wanna phone the doctor,   I'm not gonna be able to get through for two hours, and then he'll be like, oh, triaged. We'll phone you back in three days.   But if you go online and not everybody knows this, it was my other half that told me actually,   oh, here's a list of appointments that you can get.   But the point is it's where it's leading, isn't it? Yeah. And that little click is only about forty seconds long. Please disregard the first literally, like, three seconds because I've been lazy.   I literally do, like, a screen   audio record, and you can always hear me clicking the mouse at the start. It sounds awful, but I haven't had a chance to cut  

[00:44:28] Unknown:

it out. But, Don't worry. Well, life is busy as you say. I know, but I would like to be professional, Maleficus.   Now if there was a way that I could if you'd let me know beforehand, I would've just cut it off myself, but there we go. Oh, it would've taken me like, oh god. It's laziness.   Okay. You can do it your bloody self next time. Right? Okay. Thank you. I I'm assuming this is the one labeled Brit card. That's the one. I'm just my powers of You're on it tonight. You are on it. Of deduction this evening are just, yeah, tip-off. Here we go.  

[00:45:00] Unknown:

Can I see your Brit card, please?  

[00:45:03] Unknown:

I don't have one. I don't have a smartphone.  

[00:45:06] Unknown:

She's mister boss. Can I get another pint, please? Sorry, sir. Your Brit card says you've exceeded your alcohol quota for this week. Sorry, sir. Your Brit card says you've already flown twice this year. We're having to restrict passengers with higher than average emissions profiles.  

[00:45:20] Unknown:

Sorry. I'm afraid your funds have been temporarily frozen. Your recent social media post did not align with the government's narrative.  

[00:45:27] Unknown:

Sorry. I'm afraid your Brit card says you cannot purchase any more meat this week as part of our commitment to achieving net zero. I've just logged in using my Brit card, and it's saying I've already had three hours of Internet today, and it's locked me out.  

[00:45:44] Unknown:

Well, there's lots of things going around at the moment, but this is ultimately  

[00:45:48] Unknown:

where people see it going. Well, yeah. I mean, you wouldn't be you wouldn't be dumb to see it going that way, would you? I mean, I'm not being funny. Everyone can see everyone knows a cage when they see it. Surely. I mean, alright. They didn't pick up on the mobile phones, Shelley. They didn't. Oh my god.  

[00:46:04] Unknown:

Don't go there. Just walk and why don't you Don't go there.   Listeners, I apologize. You hear it every week. He hates mobile phones, what they do to you in life.  

[00:46:15] Unknown:

He is perfect. Just what they do to community. I think the technology is absolutely fantastic,   I have to say. But, anyway, you know, it's,   you   know, this whole   ID card that's coming off I don't think look. As I said to you at the very beginning, it starts with a mindset,   and the minds my mindset is   there's no effing way   I'm having   a digital ID card.   Ostracize me from society if you like, but I think there's enough people around.   But judging by the fact that nobody ever signs partitions,   or partitions, should I say, Nobody ever signs them, really. You can send them out to people, and they'll they'll never bother.   But the fact that that petition to the government has already got over 2,000,000   signatures.  

Yeah. It's it it speaks volumes, doesn't it, really? Oh, it does. It does. Yeah.   What the what the what the,   public will now be bombarded with   is all the stuff like bringing bringing back, you know, the COVID era, all that stuff, how how you'll get all these feel good stories coming in about citizen ID cards  

[00:47:28] Unknown:

and how great they are. Yes. Like the jabs. They'll be selling it to us over the airways everywhere.  

[00:47:33] Unknown:

Yeah. Absolutely. And you're gonna have the seventy seventh brigade in the chat.   You know, they're going, oh, yes. Well, I had the same thing happen to me. Thank goodness I had my digital ID card.   You know?   So watch out for the bombarding folks because this is gonna come. It's gonna come, but just stick to your guns. Stick to your guns.  

[00:47:53] Unknown:

Yeah. And there's loads that they're like, absolutely   not. And I think to be fair, though, they will manage   because they've got paper driving licenses and stuff like that. You know?   It's they've got those forms of ID, but everybody wants bloody everything. Even my employers,   they wanted, even though I've been employed with them for well, nine months or so, they're just updating records and they wanted like my breakdown of my CV because apparently they never had it. And who are my references?   So I suppose if it ever goes tits up one day, they can look all this up. Big brother are watching you.  

[00:48:30] Unknown:

Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Well, they'll just have an algorithm that will go through all those people that lied on their CV,   and they'll all be ostracized from society and and and put in some FEMA camp somewhere.   Oh, dazed. See it all coming, though. I mean, I'm not being funny.   I was talking to my dad yesterday about, you know, the longevity of things and and how   the my lovely van Shelley, you've seen my lovely I love my little Your lovely van. I love your van. Yeah. Lovely. So windscreen wiper motors failed   quite a while   back. So they only run on one speed, which is really, really fast.  

Yeah. And coupled into to throw insult to injury,   the windscreen washer motors is all part of the same thing.   Right? So and I've got two year warranty   because I bought the van from a dealership.   Got two year warranty thrown in with it. So I phoned them out, said, you know,   is it covered? And they said, yes. It's a mechanical failure. Yes. So it's covered. No problem. Blah blah blah blah blah blah.   Passed all the details onto my mechanic. My mechanic phones them up, and he says,   first of all, they said yes, they'll that it's covered. Right? So my mechanic goes ahead and says, wow. Are are you sure you want me to order these? Because it's, you know, if you they're they're insisting on genuine Ford parts,   which are made in France, these particular bits.  

And, you know, it's the best part is £700   for a couple of motors.   And I was like, well, if the warranty is paying for it, the warranty is paying for it. Fine.   If they're insisting.   So then we hadn't heard anything. So I phoned up the mechanic, and he said, well, they haven't got back to me about the quote.   So he he chased it up. They they he spoke to some guy on the end of the phone. He said,   so what was the fault? And he said, oh, mechanical failure due to water ingress and blah blah blah blah.   Because these motors sit directly under the underneath the windscreen, and everything that runs off the windscreen runs over these motors. Right? It's a design fault in the van,   and a known fault. And the guy went, woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Woah. Did you say water ingress? And he said, yeah. Water ingress has got it because of the blah blah blah blah blah. And he said, nah. Sorry. It's not covered.  

And he was like, what do you mean it's not covered? And he said,   it's not covered. If it's water ingress down to that's caused by corrosion,   it's not covered.  

[00:51:01] Unknown:

Typical.   Typical.  

[00:51:03] Unknown:

Oh, man. Man. So yeah. God. These warranties aren't worth the I I can't remember where I was actually going with that, but that you know, these warranties aren't worth the blooming paper they're written on half the time.  

[00:51:14] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.  

[00:51:16] Unknown:

Yeah. Sorry. But I didn't say No. Over there. I No. That's alright. That's alright. I'm glad you got that off your chest. I did. Yeah. There you go. There's my rant for the week.  

[00:51:25] Unknown:

Bloody people.   Bloody people.   So one more thing then before   we go to   our bottom of the hour comedy link, I thought for once it would be we'll talk about that in a minute anyway. Before we go to that, I just wanted   to bring this up.   Okay. I mean, it's obvious anyway, right? The daily mail   COVID vaccines   might raise the risk of cancer.   Contentious study claims as it links jabs to six forms of disease, including breast and prostate cancer.   Now I haven't opened the article. It was enough said just in that. Yeah. But interestingly enough, on Sunday,   obviously, it's a Martin Jennings run. Yeah. I'm sorry about that, actually. Yeah. Yeah. Well, my friend who's a photographer, he comes up and photographs it, and he popped by and sat down for a minute. And I asked how his wife was.  

His I I took their wedding photographs for them many years ago,   and I've seen lately on social media that she's got an oxygen tank and, like,   those things coming from her nose to breathe. I should know the correct words because I did work in a hospital.   But, anyway, tubey things coming from her nose, bless her and stuff. Anyway, she's really   struggling. And back in the old COVID era,   she never used to really argue with me, but she would always bring up if I did a COVID post. Yeah. But what about this, Shelley? What about this? She was obviously very scared. Yeah. Anyway,   so I was saying to him, how's your wife? You know? And he said how poorly she was. He said they went on a holiday. He said it was no fun taking a big tank of oxygen with them and stuff like that.  

He said it is pulmonary   fibrosis. I think that's the right term. And I said,   crikey. I said, you know, was there any indication?   And he said, it's a COVID jab, Shelley.   He said, we've got no proof, but as soon as she had that, things went drastically downhill.   Oh. And I just think how bloody awful this poor woman.   You know, she's a celebrant. She was a celebrant.   And just they were so scared. They did what they believed was right, and now they can see it.   And I'm never gonna be the ones that are told you told you so or laugh in your face, but I just think how so sad. Yeah. It is. Coming out now and people can see it. Yeah. But then this takes me back to what I said earlier. You know, you know,  

[00:53:47] Unknown:

the whole independent the whole of the independent media, quote, unquote, whether it be bought and paid for independent media   or non bought, like, unpaid independent media like the likes of me and the Shelley.   You know,   we were all talking about, you know, the potential you know, we were listening to other people that were talking about the potential cancer risks and all the sort of immuno problems and blood problems that people might have.   And   breast cancer,   testicular cancer was all all mentioned in amongst all this.   Yeah. I read an article, I think, just the headline, but I read the the the art an article, headline of an article from the Daily Mail last week that talked about the fact that cancer had accelerated   worldwide in the last five years, and you said all the last three years. And you think, oh, I wonder how that happened.  

You know? Yeah. But it was all being talked about, but all the seeds you know, don't forget all the seeds were being planted in the in the mainstream media   because of the backlog   of treatment, because the hospitals weren't open to the public.   They were expecting a cancer explosion,   weren't they? During Mhmm. Yep. You know, talk about predictive programming.   You know? It's yeah. It's frightening, ain't it? It is frightening. It is. It's frightening. It brings me back to what I said earlier about, you know, what's the difference between the independent media and the mainstream   media   about six months   or or two years depending on what the subject matter is. You know? Or maybe longer if it's the JFK assassination.  

You know?  

[00:55:24] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.   It's, it's bad, isn't it? And I I just generally feel for these people as well because I'm I'm getting a lot of posts. You get your memories pop up, like, if you're on Facebook.   And for five years ago, lots of the posts, it says they've been removed.   You can't view them, but   viewing comments and stuff and the fear that people had,   it was horrendous. And I just think now how many, I mean, she's just one of God knows how many that have been vaccine injured,   But to see it like that and for them to be, you know, in their times, they were they were never rude or anything. They were just so fearful,   and they did what they told.  

And, unfortunately,   they've suffered the consequences  

[00:56:01] Unknown:

massively. The government's here to help. Right?   You know? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Of course they are. Yeah. Why would they maliciously do do anything?  

[00:56:11] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.   Yeah.  

[00:56:14] Unknown:

Yeah. Anyway Anyway Moving onwards. Is it a song from you, or is it a song from me?  

[00:56:20] Unknown:

It's that comedy clip. I'm sorry.   That's alright. Is that alright, or am I being greedy? And then you can do the next one. No. I don't because you did choose the opening song tonight as well. That's two each. I think that's fair.  

[00:56:31] Unknown:

What?   I'm not about to quibble it. It's it's fine. Whatever you think. You can quibble off that.  

[00:56:37] Unknown:

Well, I just thought   I'd have you heard of the fight or something. I'm looking for a scrap, mister Scott. No. Not at all. Not at all. I just went through all the effort.   I just thought have you heard of Bill Hicks, the comedian? No. Never in my life.   Have you been sarcastic?  

[00:56:54] Unknown:

Absolutely sarcastic. I was gonna say. I was gonna say. I was a Bill Hicks fan when I was about 18, 19. I just yeah. Yeah, it was the funniest thing. I was introduced to him  

[00:57:03] Unknown:

by my dad and I just thought it'd be nice to bring a bit of comedy in one evening. So I found a six minute clip   and I found it quite hilarious and I thought it'd be nice to lighten the mood a little bit. And, you know, if people haven't checked out his stuff, he was quite philosophical in what he said as well, wouldn't he? He spoke a lot of truth in his comedy. He did. You know, he did. He he I mean,  

[00:57:25] Unknown:

for all his faults, I think his art was in the right place, Definitely.   And, you know, one of the things I will say about Bill Hicks is   that disgusting   as he was at at times,   it was damn funny.  

[00:57:40] Unknown:

Oh, he was. So I there was one of them. It was brilliant for about a minute of it. I thought that is too crude to play on the show. That really is too crude. Yeah.  

[00:57:49] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So fingers crossed. Yeah. If you do look it up, adults only. Yes. Yeah.  

[00:57:57] Unknown:

Yes. So enjoy. It's like six minutes. Go and pop the kettle on quickly for hour two. Alright. Catch you folks in a sec. You are listening live to radiosoapbox.com  

[00:58:07] Unknown:

and Radio Free Air.   Take care. Catch you in a few minutes.  

[00:58:17] Unknown:

Our next comic is a little shy, so please make him feel welcome. Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Hicks.  

[00:58:35] Unknown:

Amazing. I'm here. I was in New York, last night. It was 10 degrees, and now I'm in Palm Springs. Unbelievable, man. 10 degrees. Don't dig it. Sorry. It's not cool. It's extremely cold. K?   It's kind of fun, though, in that weather, going outdoors, watching smokers pass out because they don't know when they're done exhaling.   I see a lawsuit.   It's all mine now.  

[00:59:18] Unknown:

Welcome to La Willie.  

[00:59:21] Unknown:

I lied to you folks. I lied to you. I I smoke.   Sorry.   If this bothers anybody, I recommend you looking around the world in which we live and shutting up.   How's that?   Yes.   I think there's bigger fish to fry than the fact the guy enjoys a cigarette now and again. I really do. You nonsmokers are a little too finicky for me.   War in the Persian Gulf, the economy's gone bust, recession,   quit smoking.   That's what's troubling us.   I'll tell you the worst kind of nonsmoker, kind where you're smoking, they just walk up to you.   I always say, shoot. You're lucky you don't smoke.  

What a hell of a cough you got there, dude.   I smoke all day and don't cough like   that. Have you seen a doctor?   Worried about you.   I don't know. The whole world's insane, and I'm proud to be a part of it.   Glad the eighties are over. It was a nightmare decade. Began with the election of Ronald Reagan as president, John Lennon being murdered. I think anyone even into basic symbolism   can agree.   Strange. I followed this whole this whole last year, this Judas Priest trial. Did you follow this? Yeah. You know, they tried to prove there were subliminal messages on this album telling you to kill yourself.   Now I may be naive, you know, but, what performer   wants his audience dead?  



[01:00:56] Unknown:

The amazing Bill Hicks there. Yeah. I know some of his humor was a little bit close to the bone for some people, but, he always made me laugh.   Are you still with us, Shelley?   Maybe maybe that. Apologies.  

[01:01:12] Unknown:

No. I'm back. I'm back. I mute the mic when I, like, leave just so you can you cannot hear the scraping of my chair  

[01:01:20] Unknown:

when I leave. The story of your fingernails against the door. Let me out. Let me out. Let me out. Let me out.   Darren's always like, you need to go again. And I'm like, do you know what? Without sounding awful, if it's a drip, I can't stand being there thinking, I need a wee. I need a wee. It's awful. It's awful. You'd much rather be relaxed, wouldn't you? No. I mean, going back to Bill Hicks, he was absolutely awesome in some of his sketches. And and how many truths did he bring up there? You know, that that whole thing about, you know,   you know, the whole country is at war, and and you're worried about, you   know, give up smoking. You know?  

We're we're funding wars in all these different places.   Yeah. Yeah.  

[01:02:01] Unknown:

Yes. So, anyway,   onwards. Right. I do believe we have a guest   backstage.   We do. We do indeed. We do. I'd like to welcome back the miss awesome Jo Wood, part of,   freedom for farmers, farmers for action, all of that sort of stuff. Good evening, miss Jo Wood.  

[01:02:20] Unknown:

Wow. What a welcome. Hello.  

[01:02:22] Unknown:

Hello, Jo.  

[01:02:24] Unknown:

Hello. How are you?  

[01:02:26] Unknown:

Living the dream as always.  

[01:02:28] Unknown:

As we all are.  

[01:02:30] Unknown:

Somebody woman's just taken a month off work due to stress and,  

[01:02:35] Unknown:

yeah, exactly. Somebody's dreaming. She's busier now. I hope they're enjoying it was what I was in.  

[01:02:43] Unknown:

Oh, dear. Well, I think before we skip on,   Jo, your thoughts on the whole we have just covered it. You've missed it.   Okay. But bring your side to it before we venture on about the whole digital ID because I know you're raving about it and not in a good way.  

[01:03:00] Unknown:

Absolutely not in a good way.   I I don't you know, apologies. I don't know how much you've discussed, but are you aware that they have now implemented the system   and they are testing it,   along sort of specific   railway journey lines?  

[01:03:19] Unknown:

No. Not aware.  

[01:03:21] Unknown:

Okay. So,   you know, their their big enticement   you know? Let me let me just set the scene here. We are all aware of, you know, the price of fuel and travel   And trains   in particular,   you know, if you wanna travel five miles, it's gonna cost you about £250.   Right?   So train travel is   extremely   expensive.   So   their incentive is they will give you £15   off the train journey.   And that train journey is between,   Leeds and Harrogate, which is kind of, you know, north way for England.   Anyway,   they are asking I say they, the government.   They are asking passengers   to allow   a GPS system   to track   them and track their journey.  

And in doing so,   they will receive £15   off   their travel.  

[01:04:26] Unknown:

Oh my word. So that that that is  

[01:04:30] Unknown:

setting   sort of the the prelude   to,   you know, the actual,   ta da,   the system's up and running.   Now when we talk about the system,   I know you guys will be aware of this.   Back in the good old days back in the good old days of COVID,   do you remember   that the government had spuffed something in the region of 6 to 10,000,000   of their money up against the wall,   testing   and well, sorry, building and testing a system   called track and trace.  

[01:05:06] Unknown:

Yes. Yes.  

[01:05:08] Unknown:

Yeah. They yeah. They they implemented   the testing,   the so called testing of it   in the Isle Of Wight. And I think it lasted   all of six weeks, and then they came back and said,   no. You know, it it it's not fit for purpose. Well, you know,  

[01:05:28] Unknown:

the the government  

[01:05:29] Unknown:

is   certainly consistent   and and never really alters   from their line of descent, so that was a big lie.   The track and trace system was working perfectly well,   and that was really to test the system   to make sure that when they moved on to their next section of the plan, I I e where we are now with digital ID,   it would be ready to be linked up. And here we are with passengers   on the line between Leeds and Harrogate   voluntarily   giving up their rights   to not be tracked and traced.   But it will cost them to be recorded. System   doing it. But it will cost you a lot of great  

[01:06:15] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. Well, it's like having your burger for a COVID jab, though, isn't it? I was just gonna say, free donuts for COVID jabs, isn't it? You know? It's it's it's back to that. You know? It's it's look. If they can afford furlough   to pay off most of the country to stay at home, which most of the country, let's be let's face it, was quite happy about because Yep. Yep. While they're all lazy   Yes. I'm talking to you folks.  

[01:06:40] Unknown:

Not all of you, but some of you.  

[01:06:43] Unknown:

You know, inherently, people are lazy. If they can afford to pay furlough   for people to stay off of work because they're not key workers,   They can afford to knock £15   off of every rail ticket. You get where I'm going with this. This is a very small endorsement, isn't it? A drip fed as it always is into something that would be being much, much larger.  

[01:07:08] Unknown:

Yep. Yep. And that and that's the problem. You know? I think we saw it during the COVID times that people   were stupid enough   to go and get, you know,   what? You know? What? Are we on triple figures now for boosters or whatever?   And,   you know,   come and come and get a free burger or a donut or whatever it was that they were offering.   People are gonna be stupid enough   to do this   and get £15   off a lousy journey.   And by doing so,   not only are they signing their own   imprisonment and effectively   death warrant, they're doing it for the rest of the nation.   So as Shelly said,   yeah, I'm absolutely  

[01:07:54] Unknown:

raging about it. So, Joe, have you heard have you heard about telemetric   car insurance?  

[01:08:02] Unknown:

Is that the black box, malarkey?  

[01:08:05] Unknown:

No. No. No. That was that was stage one.   That was stage one that came in quite a few years ago. You don't have a black box anymore because every idiot carries around a mobile phone. Sorry, folks, but, you know, every everyone carries around a mobile phone. So a friend of mine and friend of show, actually,   bought insurance for his car or van or whatever it was a a few months back and suddenly realized that he'd purchased   telemetric   insurance for his vehicle.   And when because it was a low price. It was one of the lowest prices. Of course, it was. And of course, you're enticed.   Yes. So yeah. And then so he finds out then finds out what telemetric car insurance   is, which is basically you have to have your mobile phone on you in the car   at all times   or you are not insured.  

Right? Yeah. And on top of that, you have to download a little app that that, processes when you're in the car, etcetera, etcetera. You then have to download a separate little app to tell if you're not sat in the driving seat of a vehicle.   Oh my goodness. So this system is already well in place even with the insurance companies.  

[01:09:22] Unknown:

Oh my goodness. Yeah. Welcome to '19 eighty four folks.  

[01:09:27] Unknown:

Oh oh, and that is a topic I want to get on to, but   we keep moving on. Maleficus. Yes. No. That's,   yes. You wanted well, actually, I'll do this little thing quickly, and then I want you to talk about the Jennings run. Oh, well, you can leave that till near the end of the show if you want or what would you just Whatever. I just think because we're on the same Go with the We're we're go with the flow. Okay.   I don't mind to leave anybody out of having a little say.   But the whole yeah. 1984.   Let me bring this up a moment because   excuse me. I was just clearing up There are people. Just clearing my throat. Is gonna be important. It's gonna be long. Yeah.  

It's not gonna be that long. Before, you've got a long break, folks.   Cheeky, cheeky, cheeky.   So   a pub has been renamed the George Orwell   in protest of digital ID as freedom is slavery displayed on the wall.   So the pub is renamed the Georgia Orwell, which I absolutely love. Let me just stop you there.  

[01:10:28] Unknown:

That cop is owned by Dan Davis in Liverpool,   New Brighton,  

[01:10:34] Unknown:

which I was in on Saturday evening. What a coincidence. Oh, wow. Just rubbing shoulders with all the best people. She is. She's with all the best, and I tell you. If you wanna know anything, you and if you can't find something else, you'd go to Jo. She'll find that person.   She'll track them down.   Well, anyway, onwards.   So sir   sir,   sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir, sir   Phases from George Orwell's dystopian novel 1984   such as War is Peace and Freedom is Slavery   were also projected onto the site of the building.  

In others, Sir Keir is debisted as the leader of the state of Oceania,   while big brother is watching you appears before large eyes appears.   So the landlord says he changed the pub's name because he fears Britain could become very Orwellian.   He said, you can argue that all of these things in the right hands would be good, but in the wrong hands, and you see this in places like Hong Kong, they can become very Orwellian.   So,   more questions he raises. Who has access to your data? How it how is it used? Is it sold to any third parties?   And   he previously   renamed the pub the three Bellens in 2020   with signs featuring Boris Johnson,   Matt Hancock, and Dominic Cummings.  

He said government has not got a good history of rolling it out on time on a budget, which works.   I think this is going to cause a lot of confusion for the elderly who are already seeing high street banking going post office is shutting and pharmacy shutting.   The main thing I wanted to do is cause a conversation   to get people questioning   and not just going along with anything that gets brought in, especially things that have far reaching effects on civil liberties and your data.   Anyway, is it wonderful that someone out there is doing something like that? Yes. So in 2020,   he renamed it, and there's a picture of him with Boris and the other two cronies,   and it has the title under it, the three Bellens.  

But now it's called   yeah.   Excellent. So so yeah. So a new pub has been called the George Orwell. So there we are. I love that. Even though George Orwell's real name, second name was Blair.  

[01:12:52] Unknown:

But,   Oh, okay. Oh.   I just got a message actually from I I'm not gonna mention their name just in case they don't want to admit to actually,   buying that telemetric car insurance publicly. But just got a message from a friend of show.   He said,   he said, I knew you were gonna mention that. He said   he said, it cost me a £130   to cancel the effing thing.   Wow. And he's just But credit to him. There's your enticement. Yeah. But he still yeah. Well, his first his his first sentence was actually they can stick their digital up their ass, but they probably won't do it.  

[01:13:35] Unknown:

Brilliant stuff. Yeah. You know, I mean, it's quite scary because,   you know, yes, we are in, you know,   Georgia Orwell.   I'll get my words out. Georgia Orwell   times, but   we are also   being run by the Fabians.   And, you know, that that is something that people sort of banned about, and they don't really know too much about it.   The Fabians of here, you know, they're known for their   lack of speed and not drawing too much attention to themselves as they move through the years and the decades.   To themselves as they move through the years and the decades in implementing   changes.  

Well, they're they've come out of the shadows now, and they have arrived. You know, the slow tortoise, which is one of their emblems,   and and I think they were, like,   slow,   but we hit with a mighty punch or something like that.   They're they're definitely doing it now.  

[01:14:38] Unknown:

I've not heard of these Fabians until last week. No. Really? Quite interesting.   Yeah. Surprises me. That surprises me. Yeah. I don't know a lot, to be fair.   I do know a lot of stuff that other people wouldn't be interested in, but there's a lot of history and especially to do with politics that I don't know about. Yeah. Yeah. Look at just look up the Fabian Society folks. Yeah. I have. I did have a quick look, but I've forgotten already. Go and look into who the go and look into who the founders were and who they were associated with. That's far more important than the The Rothschilds?   I'm just guessing.  



[01:15:11] Unknown:

That was that was a good guess. I'm not gonna tell you if you're right or wrong. It's down to the audience to go and look for themselves. Okay.   Fabians.   Everything on a platter.   Because someone just messaged me and said Russell Brand is a Fabian.  

[01:15:24] Unknown:

Oh, okay. Well, that that yeah. That I've I've actually heard that as well. And  

[01:15:30] Unknown:

Well, it doesn't surprise me in the slightest.  

[01:15:32] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean, my jury's out. Look at who his friends are. Yeah. My jury is out purely because I don't know too much about his background. But like you,   it wouldn't   surprise me. It really, really wouldn't surprise me. And I think we are   literally   surrounded by him to the point where   multiplied. Oh, they've they've been walking amongst us in positions of power for a long time. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But it just seems as if, you know, I mean, they what when was when was their inception?   1888   1884,   I think.   And and since then,   it's almost like they've bred like rabbits.  

You know? They they haven't because, naturally, they don't move at a fast pace.   But, they just seem to be in every nook and cranny   of society   and have   really well and truly  

[01:16:36] Unknown:

come out of the shadows now. Well, you're you're definitely right, but this is no different to the to to Freemasonry,   to, you know, to the Yeah. All these different things. But go and look at who started who helped start all these organizations up.   That's that's really the crux of it.   I'm getting messages through here. What's this say?   Oh,   okay. So,   apparently, Russell Brand's logo is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Is that right? Uh-oh. Yeah. That that's  

[01:17:07] Unknown:

so the emblem   of the Fabian society is the tortoise,   and it's got, like I said,   the the they're saying is when I strike, I strike hard,   but their   their,   coat of arms, if you will, is,   you know, a wolf in sheep's clothing.  

[01:17:30] Unknown:

Fascinating  

[01:17:31] Unknown:

stuff. Yeah. Indeed.  

[01:17:33] Unknown:

Indeed. Frightening stuff, really, if you think about it. Very, very,  

[01:17:37] Unknown:

very, very frightening. Because the majority of   Labour   prime ministers have been  

[01:17:44] Unknown:

a member of the Fabian Society. They have yeah. Many, many of them have. I mean, Yeah. Even people like, GK Chesterton,   who was very outspoken   against what the government did. He was a member of the Fabian Society as well, I believe.   At Yeah. By all means, send me an email in [email protected],   ma,ll,[email protected].   And by all means, rebuke me if you like. It's not a problem. I look forward to the rebuking emails, and I do respond to every email   other than the ones that I get spammed with that is just   all stuff that's going through the mainstream or the lame stream media or even the independent media. Do you know I even got sent my own granddad's book at one point? Have you seen this? Yeah.  



[01:18:27] Unknown:

I  

[01:18:28] Unknown:

love it.   Brilliant.  

[01:18:33] Unknown:

Oh, dear.  

[01:18:36] Unknown:

So,  

[01:18:38] Unknown:

sorry. I didn't mean to derail the derail the conversation. I was just No. No. No. Going back to this whole digital ID thing, though.   At the end of the day, it's a mindset, folks. If you don't want it,   you don't need it. What you need to do actually is convince your neighbors and the people that you live around that they don't need it either, and then you can have some sort of cohesive response when it comes to pushing back.  

[01:19:04] Unknown:

Yeah. Absolutely. And, you know, I Shelley's probably sick and tired of hearing me say this, but I am   a huge believer. You know? I I can't claim   to know   how to even make it happen, where to start, and how to make it come to fruition.   But I'm a great believer in   building a system within a system because the only way out is in,   if that makes any sense. You know, I've I've really come to the realization of, You know,   I've I've really come to the realization is, you know, and Shelley will know, I love a good protest. I love a good protest.   But,   you know, that's not fully the answer. I think you have to take, you know, something from here, something from there, add it to something else, and then   move forward with sort of, you know,   the three points, if you will.  

But   building a system within a system   is the only way to do it because they're not gonna change the system. The system has been in place for over a hundred years, our parliamentary   and they're not they're they're just not gonna change it. So where do you even begin to start?   You know, sort of just picking up on what you've said, Maleficus, is, you know, you just need to say no, and you need to encourage others to do that.   That's great. Yeah. Absolutely.   But my my question,   I guess, to you, Shelley, in the audience is   how long would that keep them at bay until history repeats itself in some shape or form, and we're back to square one where we are now?  



[01:20:48] Unknown:

Well,   I to to Caesars, you angle that at me. I would just say,   at the end of the day, it's about a mindset about how you want to live your life.  

[01:20:59] Unknown:

You know? How you Yes. Yes. You are entitled to live your life. And for me, personally,  

[01:21:04] Unknown:

say for just taking the digital ideas as an example or the COVID jab as, you know, all that sort of stuff. Taking that as an example.   I'm gonna stick   to my morals, and I'm gonna stick to my guns when it comes to,   you know, being whether whether how much I want to take part in a system. And, obviously, I'm I'm sat here. I'm sat on the Internet. I'm taking part in the system. I've got a driving license.  

[01:21:27] Unknown:

I have a bank account. I have all this is what I'm saying. You know? This is what I'm saying. We we're we're all in the current system,   and I question,   you know, how many people can   easily,   if not comfortably,   survive without   it. So the only way   that we can retain   any resemblance   of what we've come to know as   live in is to build that system within a system.  

[01:21:59] Unknown:

I I don't think that we can I'm just kinda diametrically   opposed to that in the respect that I don't see that you can help you can use their system to build your own. It has to be outside  

[01:22:10] Unknown:

of that system, I believe, personally. I think that's what Joe means, though. I think on the lines, like, you remember the   the courts building our own court system and people are still building on that.   But when we know that we, we can use like example for Joe, like the farmers,   as long as we can source food and we know that we can buy privately and stuff like that, not buying into their system Yeah. Supermarkets   and things like that. No.  

[01:22:38] Unknown:

No. Definitely not. Yeah. Kind of having a what's the word? It's just a community like we used to have. This is what it okay. What we need. That's that's that's exactly it. This is what it comes down to for me every time is local community. The people that live up and down your street, the people that live in your village, the people that live in your town, the people that are in close proximity to you. You know, when when the when we were all worried whether people would come down and forcibly inject people as we were being shown in independent media videos all over the world from Chinese people being captured with fishing nets and stuff.   Yeah. Right? So they they put that fear into people. When everyone was worried about that, what was the most important thing? The most important thing was the fact that the your neighbors left and right would turn out of the door as soon as anyone came to yours. I know for a fact, and I've said this, Shelley will say, oh, not again. But I've said this so many times. The the the people who live next door to me, they've got three young kids, young kids.  

If anyone had turned up at their door,   I would have been straight out there telling them to very   politely sling their hook.  

[01:23:46] Unknown:

Yeah. I mean, Shelley and I used to have comes down to, I think. Yeah. Shelley and I used to have similar   conversations, didn't we, about sort of going along the lines of   sort of Anne Frank type things, you know, like, crikey.   Who who are we gonna hide? Who's who's vulnerable? And, you know, take them out of the house so nobody can get locked to them.  

[01:24:11] Unknown:

Sorry.  

[01:24:13] Unknown:

That's a dead conversation, but you get the gist of it, Maleficos.  

[01:24:17] Unknown:

Yeah. We were talking about the conscription and stuff, and it's like, if the young men had to go up, it's like, right. You know, we've got sons. You've got sons, Maleficos. You know? You would go that far to hide them rather than send them to war. Yeah. Absolutely.   Absolutely. By the way, Joe, in all I've got to tell you this. I've probably told you this again. I know I'm I'll take this with me to the day that I tie when we did a Zoom call in protest times, and we was trying to organize I know where you're going. Yeah.   We tried to move, like, put ideas together and stuff. And I said, we need to close down the BBC. And we were like a mafia back then having these private calls.  

James, like, well, how? And it's like, well, just take down the BBC. And I I mean, and obviously just like   interrupt their broadcasting   with a quick they can't get back on an air and, you know, a quick update from an alternative news source.   But Jo's first reaction was, well, we're just gonna break in. Do we need guns?  

[01:25:13] Unknown:

She goes, let's fucking   do   it. I was like, no. No.  

[01:25:19] Unknown:

My my my mind was going along those lines. You know? I I'm not let me just state for the record, officer,   I was not intending to have a real gun. You know? I mean, I would have had, like, a sawn off broom handle or something like that disguised in my pocket. But I wanted something that was gonna be enough to get me into, like, the servers   so I could cut the wires or cut the well, she I was all out. I was all out, Maleficus. I was I was supposed to do it. I really was going to do it. That's still the funniest thing ever.  

[01:25:56] Unknown:

She took it literally when I said we need to take the BBC down. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I had to be talk down.   No. No. I don't think they were those were the exact words. I can't remember, but it was something along those lines. Yeah. All you would have needed in Cornwall was an electrician.  

[01:26:11] Unknown:

And   and maybe one gun or just or a very maybe just somebody dressed very menacingly next to the electrician to get them to let you into where the, transmitters were. And there were two transmitters in Cornwall. We could have eradicated COVID from Cornwall   altogether just by taking down two transmitters.  

[01:26:29] Unknown:

Well, do you know what? I know where to come when I need that information. Thank you very much, Melissa.  

[01:26:36] Unknown:

I don't know a good electrician, though.  

[01:26:40] Unknown:

I'll find one. Don't worry. She finds one. What she wants, she finds.   Right. We are coming to the well, we've come to the bottom of the hour. So Maleficus'   song choice is next. Okay. You are listening   live on radiosoapbox.com   and also   tuning in on Clear Air FM for the sound of freedom.  

[01:27:03] Unknown:

This one's called on my own, folks.  

[01:27:27] Unknown:

Well, I like  

[01:27:29] Unknown:

that. Nice. Nice. I do like your taste in music, Magnificus. It's quite good. Oh, Oh, I didn't you I always thought I was a bit too rocky for you, to be honest.  

[01:27:38] Unknown:

Too rocky for me? Who who do you think you're talking to, mate?   Amy. Amy. Amy. I am rock. Yeah. Anyway,   what one note I just wanted to bring up before we move on to the Jennings run is the idea of how we could bring about change to the ordinary   everyday people.   Yeah. Well, do you know, I think, and I am going to start doing it. I've just haven't had a chance to sort it out, but the good old traditional light newspaper,   we can all deliver a copy of that. And then if people decide to burn it, read it, check it out, pass it on. You've tried and you're getting your message out. And I'm not just, like, promoting this because, obviously, they've got the new radio station, Clear Air FM, The Sound of Freedom, which we are,   our shows are currently being played on as well.  

But the work behind that, it's traditional.   People get post for their door still. They can't stop that.   You know, some people will think it's utter madness, but I just I love that, and I really think   time is busy. But if everybody that was awake, so to speak, did one street a month, it won't take you very long. It's just little dropping little coin dropping little coins,  

[01:28:51] Unknown:

dropping little seeds, isn't it? Yeah. I mean, full agreement of that. Sorry. Carry on.   No. I I was just saying no. I'm in full agreement of it.  

[01:29:00] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.  

[01:29:02] Unknown:

I I think everyone could do a street. Enough for your own street. I mean, it'd be easy for me. There's only five houses, and I'm one of them. So, you know, I can just order five copies, you know, each time they come out and just post them through the Yeah. I think the the minimum amount, I think, I might be wrong, is 25 copies or 20,  

[01:29:20] Unknown:

and you do have to pay now. I don't know. Can download it.   Yeah. But then that's the point, isn't it, Malefic? Because you've got such a short street. You go into the next bloody street, but it would be once a month. It'd be half an hour up your life, wouldn't it? And I'm kind of thinking we could get a little I love getting a group together. How many people in Campbell would like to donate £2 a month for this great cause?   And then you could distribute between you all a quite healthy sum every month rather than having to pocket it out of your money, so to speak. You know? I know it there's a lot of cost involved. They're still really cheap,   but, there is a cost now. Well, there is a cost. But the different rates are cost. You can There has to be a cost. Of course, they don't. Like GB News, and and you're at, like, 56,000,000  

[01:30:03] Unknown:

in debt and still going. How does that work? I don't know. So there's gotta be a charge, hasn't there? I'm There is. People it costs money, doesn't it? At the end of the day, to print a newspaper, it costs money. Well, of course. And they're still half the price of the the normal newspapers. So I've been working I've been working with the AK Chesterton Trust for the last six years,   and, you know, all their periodicals so the AK Chesterton Trust puts out the magazine Candour,   c a c a n d o u r,   and has it's the longest standing British nationalist magazine that's been out there for for all time.   So and and there's a costing curve with that. You have to subscribe because there's a costing curve, and people have to accept that you know, everyone wants something for free nowadays, don't they? Of course they do. Not being funny, the the light newspaper did a great job of being able to put stuff out for a long period of time without charging or without charging too much. They did. Yeah. But at at some point that, you know,   the the the clasp bites, doesn't it? You know, you've got you can't just do it indefinitely.  

And a lot of these,   periodicals throughout history have started up just by being funded by the people that really really wanted the information out there.   You know, you look at truth that went out in America during, you know, during the fifties and,   forties, the fifties,   and the sixties.   He that guy was sending   out stuff for for pence on the dollar that it was costing him because he was just passionate about it. But there has to come a point where there's a cost incurred. You know? So I get it. I get it totally.   Candor Candor charges for their subscriptions.  

The light newspaper should charge for theirs in all fairness.  

[01:31:53] Unknown:

And you can download it for free anyway.   But I just think and out of all those people, what if you just waken one little person   and then they decide to be on it as well and it provokes conversation and stuff like that, doesn't it? So,   yeah, anyway, I'm just putting that out there.   So next topic. Okay. Next topic. Jennings run. This is where you wanted to talk about. Oh, well, no. Jennings run. Well, I had a lovely invite this week, Shelley. I don't know whether I mentioned it. Did you? I had a really lovely Jo, you were gonna be invited away as well, but I knew you weren't in, like, the county. Okay. So  

[01:32:27] Unknown:

Okay.  

[01:32:29] Unknown:

Knew she was far away. That's right. You just you just give it away. The ghost there, haven't you? So I got invited by yourself down down to, watch the end of the Jennings run, which would have been lovely.   So those listeners that aren't   equipped to, know about this kind of thing. So Martin Jennings. Do you know who Martin Jennings was, Shelley?  

[01:32:52] Unknown:

He was a motorbiker.  

[01:32:53] Unknown:

He was a motorbiker.  

[01:32:54] Unknown:

Every year But other than that, I don't know much. So we've just had,  

[01:33:00] Unknown:

what is it? The   how many runs has has there been? I think we're on run 39 now, something like that.  

[01:33:09] Unknown:

I have no idea. Let's have a look. I don't wanna misquote. Hang on a sec. No. Because he only died, like, about fifteen years ago, didn't he? So it can't have been Hang on. No. I think, okay. So Martin Jennings.  

[01:33:23] Unknown:

Basically, Martin Jennings, 30 year 39 year old from Beacon near Cambourne, Cornwall in Southwest England was one of the 94 competitors who participated in the junior,   Manx Grand   Prix on Tuesday afternoon,   September   nineteen eighty seven.  

[01:33:43] Unknown:

Wow. So long time ago now. Yeah. Yeah. Because I know he's buried just up the road from me, but I was thinking earlier. I don't actually know So much about him. So okay. So on his fifth lap, Martin Jennings came off his number seventy three three fifty Yamaha,  

[01:33:59] Unknown:

on the exit of Birkins Bend near Kirk Michael on the West side of the island,   at an estimated speed of a 100 miles an hour. That's a 160 kilometers an hour for all you folks that just have it all wrong.   The machine   hit a stone gate pillar   being badly damaged, and the rider came to rest on the other side of the road.   Rescuers could do nothing to save his life. Life, his death was instantaneous   with such an impact. Granite, you know, granite's a very unforgiving stone. Most stones are unforgiving, but granite is probably worse than most. And he hit that at a 100 miles an hour. So Lovely. Surprised.   So an experienced road racer since,   since almost twenty years, Martin Martin Jennings competed in vintage and classic events   at club level and national competitions. He made his debut on the Isle Of Man's Mountain Circuit in 1984.  

This was his seventh Manx Grand Prix start.   Martin Jennings was married with Lynn.   The couple had three children, Peter, Danny, and Catherine.   He rode,   he ran a motorcycle breaking spares business at Kudrow,   Beacon founded by his father, Jim Jennings, who also raced motorcycles   before World War two. So we got some heritage there, some real heritage. You know?   The annual Martin Jennings memorial run is run every year in Cornwall for charity in in remembrance of him, and the event attracts hundreds of participants. I would say it's got to about one and a half thousand now, maybe more. Yeah. I think you're right.  

[01:35:40] Unknown:

It's at least ten minutes at least that they're all going past our house. Yeah. That's a huge amount of bikes.  

[01:35:49] Unknown:

So I I for me, I the first I'd ever heard of Martin Jennings   was my bandmate asked me if I was prepared to jump in and do a gig,   at short notice.   And I said, what's it all about? He said, well, I heard on Radio Cornwall, he said that the band for the Martin Jennings run had pulled out.   And, he phoned in straight away and said, we'll do it. So I didn't actually at the point where he'd asked me, I didn't actually have any choice.   But it was your time to shine. Yeah. Well, so that that was that ended up being the largest audience I've ever played in front of. So it was, you know, about   1,200 bikes came in, some with pillion passengers. There was probably about 2,000   people there all up at,   Falmouth   rugby club grounds.  

And we me and the bandmates, we just stood on the back of a lorry truck   doing our thing like that. Brilliant.   Brilliant. But it was quite a sight to see. It took so long for all the bike. I mean, we started our set when the bike came in, and we were, like, you know, fifteen minutes in by the time all the bikes had finished coming in and parked up, and everyone was queuing for the bar and all that kind of thing. You know what I mean? But it was a really, really good day. And what a, yeah, what a fantastic thing for the guy to be remembered after all that time.  

[01:37:09] Unknown:

Yeah. I I didn't know the history. I just knew that he was a motorcyclist that lost his life. And every year, obviously, I live in Beacon, and   we make it a tradition. We all sit outside   and watch them go by. But this year I've told Darren the night before, it's like, let's ask some extra people   we could do with chili. And then he said, I could do my chili. And I was like, yep. Do it. And it turned out to be a really lovely afternoon.   You missed out on Darren's chili,   and he can cook. Yeah. It it was a a real rush day, though, because it was also gorgeous weather, and it's like, I'm going body boarding.   And I literally got down to the beach at, like, ten to one, And Darren's like, right. We need to leave there at ten past one. I was like, I've got twenty minutes in the sea.  

And I've gotta say it because, those love the sea and stuff like that. I caught a wave and I do something that my son does when he's really happy. And all the way in on this massive way, I just went,   we, it was exhilarating.   It was worth just twenty minutes for that one way life's worth living in it. It is.   You do. I was gutted though. It's like, again, time going too fast   and ten past one, I had to get out. And then I came back. I showered while Darren cooked and with a couple of other friends around a few family members and we had to chilli. I was exhausted when everyone went, but it was brilliant.  

[01:38:34] Unknown:

So I wish we made it down. Our day was kind of,  

[01:38:37] Unknown:

No. It's not iamlastminute.com.  

[01:38:40] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. But I like it how those things work, because, you know, literally said, like, I I think you messaged us about two hours before.  

[01:38:47] Unknown:

Yeah.   That's what I mean. I did. I messaged people in the morning.  

[01:38:53] Unknown:

Yeah. So but but it was a good day. Thank you for the lovely offer anyway, and we will pop down at some point. I promise. We will definitely That's alright. That's okay.  

[01:39:01] Unknown:

No worries. And, Jo, I know you were away. Tell us about your weekend.   We've got ten minutes left, my lovely. Tell us about what you've been up to if it's not too stressful.  

[01:39:14] Unknown:

Oh, the whole month of September has been stressful. As you said, I sort of   took the month off work, and I'm really glad that I did because   I don't I don't think I would have been able to work and and do my extra   curricular activities as well.   So we had planned,   something called the Trailer of Truth,   and that was a   twenty   twenty three foot long trailer being pulled   by a tractor   across the length and breadth of England,  

[01:39:48] Unknown:

Scotland, and Wales. Oh, wow. That's the Yeah. I just got to interrupt that, just to say to the listeners, Jo Wood is a massive part of the farmers to action group.  

[01:39:58] Unknown:

So that's where we're going. Carry on, Joe. And, it started then, Joe. I have to say, you didn't put much effort in there. You know, just just the length and the breadth of the country.  

[01:40:07] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah. That it was quite a few miles. Quite Small for Joe. It was small work.   So it started in Cornwall,   and we   we sort of covered John O'Groats all through Scotland   and Wales, and we accumulated   in Liverpool   on the September 28. So this this Sunday just gone.   Primarily in Liverpool because that's where Labour are holding their party conference.   So you guys just talking about the Jennens bike run. We had I don't know if you've heard of a bike group called Rolling Thunder.   Nope. No? It it's They they are a bike group made up of,   military   veterans.  

So we had probably about   a 100 plus of them   leading a trailer of truth.   Wow. Into the city of Liverpool.   Yeah. Into the city of Liverpool.   And, primarily, the reason why we had done this, and it was called the trailer of truth.   So the like I said, the the trailer was about '22, 23 foot long, and we had   great big long banners on it. And we were stopping at livestock   markets,   villages,   cities,   towns,   and we were inviting people, members of the public and farmers   to come and write a message on these huge like 25 foot long banners.   And the purpose of that was that when we would get into live a pool, we would take the banners off and we would deliver them into the foyer of the Labour Party Conference Centre,  

[01:41:57] Unknown:

which which we Brilliant. Brilliant.  

[01:42:00] Unknown:

But we we were about   probably without a lie and exaggeration. We were about probably without   without   a lie and exaggeration, we were about ten days into   a trailer of truth,   and we had to order more banners because the three of them were already full up.  

[01:42:18] Unknown:

Franky. Word. Well, people have a lot to say, haven't they?  

[01:42:21] Unknown:

Yeah. Yeah.   So I think in total,   we ended up with   so that would be two four six seven seven huge banners with all these messages that people had written on from across the country.   And,   we took that to the Labour Party conference and delivered it to them. So   yeah, they it was interesting you hearing about the Jennings bikes because I was just like, oh well, yeah, I'll be with a bunch of bikers sort of this weekend. And these guys, you know, I mean, they're they're veterans. So, you know, they're they're   OAPs, one of the best words, but they came with their military badges on,   you know, when they got off their bikes, they took their helmets off, they put their barriers back on.  

It was  

[01:43:10] Unknown:

really very, very emotional. It's made my hairs   stand up and then go my ass.   Something my mum said to me on Saturday, Sunday, actually, when all these bikes were going by, she said, these are all the people we want on our side.   And she's right. There's, there's nothing like a scene of bikers.   I don't know what it is, whether it's bad, bad, or I don't know, but there's something about it.  

[01:43:36] Unknown:

Yeah. So, you know, like I said, it was really great to have them. It it, like, really set the tone. You know, you've got this   huge motorbike   convoy   that are ex veterans   that know   the value of life in all that that encompasses,   you know, food, feeding the nation,   protection,   joining forces with the farmers,   leading in the trailer of truth to   accumulate   in a private yard,   and we had speeches. And then after that,   we took everybody out. We must have had about 1,200 people,   and then we took them back out of the yard,   back out onto the main road, and had a huge march over onto the docks in Liverpool where the conference center was. So it was it was a pretty full on event.  



[01:44:31] Unknown:

Oh, I should say. I didn't hear anything about it in the mainstream media, Jo. I I did you did you just make all this up?  

[01:44:39] Unknown:

I I didn't. And I I do you know what? I am Shelley knows. I am no fan of the authorities   nor the media.   However,   I had to wear   for one reason or another, I had to wear several   hats to bring it all together towards the end. And one of them was the press, and the press   were outstanding.   Absolutely outstanding.   Yep. We had,   you know, not that GB News is anything to be proud of, but we had GB News, we had Sky News, Telegraph, Guardian,   Daily Express,   Sunday Times,  

[01:45:20] Unknown:

the the Sun,  

[01:45:21] Unknown:

you know, the Daily Mail. You name it, they were all there. And,   we had GB News do live interviews on the hour, every hour from twelve till five. Wow.   So it it was really,   really well covered, and I was quite surprised at the response from,   you know, the press.  

[01:45:42] Unknown:

Oh, I'm so proud of you, mate, because you always make it happen.   And I know that, like,   you you don't stop. And this is what you do for passion.  

[01:45:52] Unknown:

She has.  

[01:45:54] Unknown:

She has. We need more Joes in this world.   But to pull that off as well, no. Credit to you, mate.  

[01:46:01] Unknown:

Pat on the back. Yeah. I mean, it it wasn't let let me just state. It wasn't  

[01:46:06] Unknown:

just me. There was, like, two you, but you Yeah. Play a massive role in it. Massive. Well, I've got one hat, but I tilt it to you, madam. You've done very well. Bless you.   So, you know, just cover my bald spot. So it's you know?  

[01:46:23] Unknown:

So, you know, after that, which, you know, primarily, I took the month off in September because I just wanted a break from work, and I'm   very fortunate that I I get occupational   sick leave. So, you know, I don't lose anything.   But, primarily, I sort of did take the time off to   to have a little bit of a rest and, you know, just give a little bit more of an effort to the trailer of truth.   But I got home on Sunday, woke up Monday, and I thought, do you know what? I I need to take October off just to get over this. I bet you do. I bet just to float down off of Cloud nine, hopefully.  

[01:47:00] Unknown:

Well done you. Well done you. And I know how stressed she gets. You wouldn't believe how many times I hear Joe say,   I'm just gonna give it to men, and I'm quitting. I'm done.   I've heard her say that so many times. I can't see Joan. She never quits. No. And and I really want to. I really, really  

[01:47:20] Unknown:

want to. Joe. You don't. You just want No. I do. I don't. Honestly, you can't. We need people like you. You're like a guy with a sore tooth. To quote Bill Hicks, you can't leave it alone.  

[01:47:30] Unknown:

Yes. Yeah.  

[01:47:32] Unknown:

That that is ex yeah. That that is exactly it. It it's it's, you know, like   yeah. It's it's a bad habit, I think, that  

[01:47:41] Unknown:

I'm I'm never gonna be able to quit, I'm afraid. Well, look. We we are coming up to the top of the hour, folks. Anything you wanna say   before we before we scoot off out of here?  

[01:47:56] Unknown:

Thank you for having me. And, mister Scott, for your awesome company as always. See you next week, people.   Live on radiosoapbox.com   and Clear Air FM, the sound of freedom. Yeah. Lots of love, folks.
