This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha SharmaToday is the 27th of March and here are the headlines.A day after a face-off in the Lok Sabha over Speaker Om Birla abruptly adjourning the House after noting that members, especially Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi, should conduct themselves “in a manner that maintains the high standards and dignity” of Parliament, a delegation of INDIA bloc parties met Birla today and raised concerns over a range of issues, including the “politicisation of the statement made by Birla outside the House”. A letter was submitted by the delegation to Birla, which The Indian Express has learnt contained eight broad points, including “non-appointment of Deputy Speaker in Lok Sabha”, “denial of speaking opportunity to the Leader of Opposition (LoP)”, and “disregard for Business Advisory Committee (BAC) decisions”.Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy moved a resolution against delimitation in the legislative assembly today. The resolution read, quote “The house expresses its deep concern on the manner in which the impending delimitation exercise is being planned, without transparent consultations with stakeholders.” unquote. The resolution was later adopted by the House and passed. Reddy posted about it on X stating:quote  “…We passed a resolution today asking the Centre not to take any steps that compromise the political self-respect and legitimate rights of our people. People of Telangana and citizens of all other states of south India are united in protecting our rights”, unquoteThree separate Private Member Bills are coming up in the Jammu and Kashmir Assembly – two by the ruling National Conference legislators and the third by an independent legislator – seeking the restoration of statehood. The Bills for restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir would come up for discussion on April 7. The Private Member Bill introduced by National Conference legislator reads, quote “The House resolves that statehood be restored immediately as promised by the central government in the Parliament of India,” unquoteRussian President Vladimir Putin is set to visit India soon, the country's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov confirmed in a televised address today. Speaking at the “Russia and India: Toward a New Bilateral Agenda” conference, hosted by the Russian International Affairs Council (RIAC), Lavrov said preparations for Putin's visit are underway. While the date of Putin visit has not been disclosed, it follows Prime Minister Narendra Modi's trip to Russia in July 2024—his first in nearly five years. Modi had previously visited Vladivostok in 2019 for an economic conclave. During last year's visit, he formally invited Putin to India.US President Donald Trump has decided to expand his trade war to the world's most traded product — automobiles and auto parts — by announcing 25 per cent tariffs on them from April 3. This has raised the uncertainty over Indian exports of auto components worth nearly $7 billion to the US and their future growth potential in the North American market. Citing national security concerns, the White House said that automobiles would be subject to 25 per cent tariffs starting on April 3 — a day after US reciprocal tariffs are set to come into effect — while auto parts would face similar tariffs “no later than May 3 2025,” unless such actions are expressly “reduced, modified, or terminated.”This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by the Indian Express.

With certain exceptions, unfinished business “dies” on the Order Paper and must be started anew in a subsequent session.   Bills which have not received Royal Assent before prorogation are “entirely terminated” and, in order to be proceeded with in the new session, must be reintroduced as if they had never existed.116 On occasion, however, bills are reinstated at the start of a new session at the same stage they had reached at the end of the previous session. This is accomplished either with the unanimous consent of the House117 or through the adoption of a motion to that effect, after notice and debate.118 The House has also adopted provisional amendments to the Standing Orders to carry over legislation to the next session following a prorogation.   Since 2003, prorogation has had almost no practical effect on Private Members' Business.120 As a result of this significant exception to the termination of business principle, the List for the Consideration of Private Members' Business established at the beginning of a Parliament, all bills that originate in the House of Commons and all motions in the Order of Precedence, as well as those outside of it, continue from session to session.121 If consideration of an item at a certain stage had begun but had not been completed, the item is restored at the beginning of that stage, as if no debate had yet occurred. Private Members' bills that were referred to a committee in the previous session are deemed referred back to the same committee. Private Members' bills which have been read a third time and passed are sent again to the Senate.122   With dissolution, all business of the House is terminated. The Speaker, the Deputy Speaker and the members of the Board of Internal Economy continue in office for the acquittal of certain administrative duties until they are replaced in a new Parliament.143 For the purposes of certain allowances payable to them, Members of the House of Commons at the time of dissolution are deemed to remain so until the date of the general election.144 Members' offices, both in Ottawa and in their constituencies, remain open in order to allow Members and their staff to provide services to constituents.145 As the office budget for Members is drawn from public funds, Members' offices and staff may not be used for electoral purposes.   All items on the Order Paper including government and private Members' bills die.146 The government's obligation to provide answers to written questions, to respond to petitions or to produce papers requested by the House also ends with dissolution.147 The government must wait until the new Parliament is in session before tabling any document that is required pursuant to an act, resolution or Standing Order.   Committees cease to exist until the House reconstitutes them following the election. All orders of reference expire, and the Chairs and Vice-Chairs of all committees cease to hold office. The government is no longer required to provide responses to committee reports.   The executive committees of interparliamentary associations carry over from one Parliament to another. However, as a general rule, the activities being organized by the associations are postponed during a dissolution. Since multilateral assemblies continue to meet, Canada's representation is usually ensured by Senators.148 Once an election has been held and prior to the start of a new Parliament, both Senators and re-elected Members may participate. Official parliamentary exchange programs with other assemblies are also usually postponed.   Trudeau to remain party leader and PM until a new leader is found through a “rigorous national process”   Who will replace him: Francois Phillipe Champagne https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fran%C3%A7ois-Philippe_Champagne Crystia Freeland https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrystia_Freeland Melanie Jolie https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A9lanie_Joly Anita Anand https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anita_Anand Dominic LeBlanc https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominic_LeBlanc Mark Carney https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Carney Outro Visit us at www.canadianpatriotpodcast.com   We value your opinions so please visit www.canadianpatriotpodcast.com/feedback/ or email us at feedback@canadianpatriotpodcast.com and let us know what you think.   Apologies to Rod Giltaca Remember, “you are a small fringe minority” with “unacceptable views”

This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Flora Swain.Today is the 9th of December and here are the headlines.India called for a “peaceful and inclusive Syrian-led political process” which respects the interests and aspirations of all sections of Syrian society, in its first statement today since the fall of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday. Bashar al-Assad fled Syria for Russia after Islamist rebels managed to advance and capture Damascus on Sunday. The Syrian conflict since 2011 had been frozen for the last few years and the Assad regime had managed to stave off any possible insurrection but that changed in the last few days, as the rebels advanced against the Syrian regime's army.The Lok Sabha faced disruptions amid slogans raised by Opposition MPs, leading to an adjournment. In the Rajya Sabha, Leader of the House JP Nadda made a brief statement seeking a discussion on the Soros issue. Meanwhile, Congress has called for a comprehensive debate on the India-China ties, encompassing strategic and economic policies. This comes as a response to External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's recent briefing in Lok Sabha on key developments in bilateral relations following the agreement on patrolling along the Line of Actual Control in easter Ladakh.After the Maharashtra Assembly Speaker's election was formally announced in the House today, the Assembly passed the confidence vote in favour of  Devendra Fadnavis led government by majority voice vote. BJP MLA Rahul Narvekar was elected as the Speaker unopposed after Opposition Maha Vikas Aghadi parties refused to file nomination. The confidence motion in the assembly was accepted as ruling coalition has 237 MLAs in 288 member assembly. The Opposition MVA has placed a formal demand seeking the Leader of Opposition post and the Deputy Speaker post in the Assembly.In its second list of candidates for the Delhi Assembly elections scheduled in February 2025, the Aam Aadmi Party today changed nominees in 20 of the 70 constituencies in the Capital. There are widespread changes in the AAP candidate list, with the ruling party dropping 13 of its sitting MLAs. Two sitting MLAs, Manish Sisodia and Rakhi Bidlan, have been fielded from new constituencies of Jundpura and Manipur, respectively. Avadh Ojha, a popular UPSC coaching teacher and motivational speaker who joined the AAP recently, replaced Manish Sisodia in Patparganj. Meanwhile, Union Minister of Parliamentary Affairs Kiren Rijiju said today that the alleged links between the Congress and Hungarian-American businessman should be considered “serious” and urged the opposition party  to fight unitedly against “anti-India forces”. He also said the matter should not be viewed through a “political lens.” The BJP minister's statement comes a day after the BJP alleged that former Congress president Sonia Gandhi has links to an organisation financed by the George Soros Foundation and which has backed the idea of Kashmir as an independent nation.This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

Old stagers and complete newcomers: Prime Minister Keir Starmer's ministerial team is taking shape. But is it a good idea to turn newly-minted MPs straight into ministers? Looking ahead we also explore the upcoming Deputy Speaker elections and the allocation of Select Committee chairs.With hundreds of new MPs entering Parliament, all bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, we examine the contrasting experiences of those leaving, disappointed and deflated. Former Conservative MP Paul Masterton shares his insights on life after losing his seat in 2019. Did he receive a commiseration phone call from his party leader and the party chair? How long did it take him to find alternative employment? And what is his advice for former MPs adjusting now to life outside Parliament after being cast out of Westminster by the voters?Next week it's the State Opening of Parliament when the Labour Government will unveil its programme of new laws in the King's Speech. But are the processions and the pomp of the State Opening becoming a bit of an embarrassing hangover of past national glories?

The court allowed a habeas corpus plea by his aunt seeking quashing of remand orders sending him to observation home. The paternal aunt of the child in conflict with law had claimed that he was sent to custody in an “unlawful and arbitrary” manner. The court observed that the custody order was illegal and passed without jurisdiction and directed that his custody will be handed into care and custody of the paternal aunt.The Opposition has fielded Congress leader K Suresh for the post of Lok Sabha Speaker after the BJP refused to make a commitment for the post of Deputy Speaker, which the Opposition has been pushing for. Meanwhile, the NDA has nominated Om Birla for the Speaker's post. The election for the post will be held tomorrow. Earlier, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had said that the Opposition was willing to support the NDA's candidate for the post of Lok Sabha Speaker provided the government followed the convention and gave the deputy speaker's post to them.The Delhi High Court today stayed the regular bail granted by trial court to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal in the excise policy case stating that the lower court did not “apply its mind” while passing the order. Justice Sudhir Kumar Jain passed the order while hearing ED's application seeking stay of trial court order which had granted bail to Kejriwal on 20th of June. A day earlier, the Supreme Court had said it will wait for the High Court verdict and hear his plea against the HC move on 26th of June.Meanwhile, addressing a press conference today, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) MP Sanjay Singh, stated, quote, “Since Atishi is admitted in the ICU, we must discontinue the ‘anischitkalin anshan' (indefinite fast) for water. We will continue the agitation in other ways.” Informing the media about Atishi's health, the Minister said, “Atishi is still admitted in the Lok Nayak ICU after her state in night became unstable, her medical examination is going on. Presently, there are doctors in the hospital ICU looking after her… We are also writing a letter to the PM today to consider the matter (of the water crisis in Delhi).”WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange landed in Bangkok today, as he is on the way to enter a plea deal with the US government that will free him and resolve the legal case that spanned years and continents over the publication of a trove of classified documents.

Welcome back to THE IAS COMPANION. Today, we explore the Parliament of India, the central legislative body of the Union government, operating under a system similar to the British model. Parliament consists of the President, the Rajya Sabha (Council of States), and the Lok Sabha (House of the People). The Rajya Sabha has up to 250 members, representing states and union territories, with members elected by state legislatures or nominated by the President, while the Lok Sabha has up to 552 directly elected members. Lok Sabha elections ensure equal representation, with reserved seats for Scheduled Castes and Tribes. The Rajya Sabha is a permanent body with staggered six-year terms, while the Lok Sabha has a five-year term unless dissolved earlier. Members must be Indian citizens, meet age requirements, and take an oath of allegiance to the Constitution. Their salaries and allowances are determined by Parliament. Presiding officers include the Speaker and Deputy Speaker for the Lok Sabha, and the Chairman (Vice-President) and Deputy Chairman for the Rajya Sabha, who maintain order and oversee proceedings. Each House has its own secretariat to ensure efficient operations. #UPSC #IASprep #civilserviceexam #IASexamination #IASaspirants #UPSCjourney #IASexam #civilservice #IASgoals #UPSC2024 #IAS2024 #civilservant #IAScoaching #aUPSCmotivation #IASmotivation #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity #UPSCpreparation #IASpreparation #UPSCguide #IASguide #UPSCtips #IAStips #UPSCbooks #IASbooks #UPSCexamstrategy #IASexamstrategy #UPSCmentorship #IASmentorship #UPSCcommunity #IAScommunity --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/theiascompanion/message

Krzysztof Bozak, a Polish Member of Parliament and Deputy Speaker of the Sejm joins Hearts of Oak to outline his political journey, beginning with his participation in a youth movement and the founding of the Confederation of Freedom and Independence Party.  Krzysztof lifts the veil on the Law and Justice Party's EU stance, economic policies, and immigration management.  He tells us of the significance of upholding conservative and nationalist values amidst mainstream narratives.  Krzysztof highlights his role in the Polish Parliament and his openness to collaborating with like-minded international entities. This interview offers deep insights into Polish politics, party distinctions, and the importance of ideological integrity in a changing political landscape. Krzysztof Bosak began his political career as an activist and spokesman for the organisation All-Polish Youth. In 2005, he became one of the youngest Polish MPs in history, elected as a candidate of the League of Polish Families, a conservative party, at the age of 23.  Krzysztof is now the leader of Confederation of Freedom and Independence Party, Member of Parliament and Deputy Speaker of the Sejm.

Krzysztof, thank you for your time today. (Krzysztof Bosak) Thank you for the invitation and welcome everybody. Great to speak with you. I had the privilege of meeting you back, goodness, 18 months ago, I think, with Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff , a good friend of both of ours. And you are a member of the Polish parliament and I'm looking forward to understanding a little bit about the Polish parliament setup. Each country is different but you are the president of the national movement and you're the leader of the confederation or confederation of Freedom and Independence Party, and you're the Deputy Speaker of the House, which is called the Sejm. And your a husband, father, you're a Christian, and I want to delve into all of those. But Krzysztof, you became a member of the Parliament back in 2005. You were very young back then. Tell me why you got involved in politics. How did that happen and how did you end up standing as a member of parliament and being elected? It's a long story. In fact, this time I was the youngest MP in this term and I started being involved in politics by a youth movement, a Catholic Eurosceptic and Catholic Nationalist youth movement. Since I was in high school. I was 17 or 18 years old when I joined. It was the time of the debate about joining the EU. All mainstream parties, mainstream medias, mainstream bishops, mainstream everything was in favour of joining EU. And a small minority of speakers and social leaders were against defending principles of independence, sovereignty, traditional values, and so on. And I was sure that they are right and I joined this movement, being against joining European Union at that time. I joined a youth movement, then in 2001 a conservative pro-family, pro-life Eurosceptic party was created. It was League of Polish Families. It was kind of coalition of very different right-wing conservative or Eurosceptic or nationalist groups. And four years later I became the youngest MP being elected from my home town and constituency. From the 10th place on the list. So I was not a leader of the list, I was on the 10th place and people elected me from this list as the only MP in this constituency. So it was a very big success and a very big surprise for many people. And it was short term, only two years, because this was a time of big political instability. We had two government changes. It was, let's say, right-wing government, many scandals, and after two years, earlier elections, and my political party didn't succeed. League of Polish Families disappeared from Polish politics. Law and Justice political party took everything, every right-wing voters. We were against, we were competitors of law and justice, competitors from the right. They were centre-right from our perspective. and after that for 12 years I was outside the Parliament involved in social movement and working in right-wing NGOs, in think tanks like Republican Foundation, defending the same values on the social level with my colleagues and people who didn't lose faith in being active and trying to create truly right-wing political movement. We tried many times different attempts to get into the Parliament we have 5% threshold and proportional system so it's quite hard if you do not have support from big business big media or big money and we succeed in 2019 I went back to Parliament this time as a co-leader of of Confederation, Freedom and Independence. It is a coalition now, coalition of three political parties, three political movements. My movement, national movement, still the same values, still the same political tradition. So national conservative Catholic tradition, national democratic tradition of Polish political independence movement, and we created this national movement as a new political party ten years before, in 2013. So for six years we were outside the parliament, and after that we made a coalition with conservative libertarians and traditionalists. So conservative libertarians were created by long-term defender of economic freedom and civil liberties. Janusz Korwin-Mikke, now he's not in his political party, he's pleaded, but he created this political party and now they have a younger leader, Sławomir Manczan from Next Generation, very popular young businessman and tax advisor and also a big defender of economic freedom and conservative values. So this is the second pillar first is national conservative Catholic second is let's say conservative libertarian and the third is citizens movement traditionalist movement of Jagger Brown is a quite popular right-wing movie a documentary movies director an artist and intellectual who who were involved in politics also a few years before, first being on anti-communist and right-wing position, and then shifting more to the right and building the coalition with us. So now we have Confederation as a coalition, or let's say umbrella party, coalition party, for these three different movements and many smaller groups who joined us. And we work collectively, we have collective leadership and we challenge law and justice from the right. We were in opposition during eight years of law and justice government. From our perspective they are not very conservative and they are, I know that sometimes media call them nationalists, but from our perspective they were a typical centre-right political party. And we made an alternative right party for Polish voters and now we even extended the number of voters who support us. So now we have 18 MPs and more than 7% in polls and now we fight to get into the European Parliament. Because for now there are only people from Law and Justice and their allies parties. And we believe that Polish voters deserve to have better representation in European Parliament. Built by truly critical to European Union politicians, not supporters of EU who change only some narrative, but they always vote in favour of you. Well, tell us about the... Because when I, as a Brit, maybe read the newspapers here in the UK, it would have talked to the Law and Justice Party as being an extreme right party. In a similar way, they mock Orbán in Hungary. But I'm curious to see where you fit in, Because when I went over and met with you, I begun to understand the Law and Justice Party were maybe not as wonderful as the West may think. So what makes the Confederation different than the Law and Justice Party? Yeah. It's a very complicated topic, but I think that it's easier to propose some metaphor or some example. So it's quite similar in my opinion like in the United States where you have mainstream Republicans and you have Trump supporters and for example Rand Paul or some people who are more nationalist-oriented. So, in Polish politics, law and justice is like mainstream republicans. They use some words, some phrases, some ideas of conservative or even pro-national right, but they use it intentionally rather for propaganda and they act like centre-right politicians. When they were in government in Poland, they even introduced many policies. We can say that these policies that they developed on social level or in economic policy, these are rather social democratic policy, not conservative or right-wing or not nationalist in any way. So, to go into the details, we criticise them because they supported European integration on the new level. First, many years ago, they supported Lisbon Treaty. They negotiated Lisbon Treaty being in government. Then their president signed the Lisbon Treaty. They made a propaganda with mainstream and center-left and leftists that the Lisbon Treaty is good for Poland. And we believe the opposite, that it was a disaster. Our situation is much worse in the EU under the Lisbon Treaty than before. Then, during the last eight years, they supported the European Green Deal and their Prime Minister accepted the European Green Deal in the European Council. Now farmers oppose, they even criticise in the current electoral campaign. They made a pledge that they will stop the European Green Deal, but they do not say that their prime minister accepted it on the European Council in 2019 then in 2020 their prime minister Morawiecki accepted fit for 55. So they increased the goal of reducing these emissions 15 percent percent more and they introduced many new policies in European union and it is all possible because they are accepted in European council on a 2020 meeting in fact prime minister Morawiecki also proposed us as a polish prime minister in Brazos creating new pan-European taxes it's completely It's completely against our Constitution, it's completely against our values. We believe that our phrase is that we need small taxes and only paid in Poland and they three or five new pan-European taxes and they accepted it and we paid this to Brussels, not to Warsaw and we have no influence on how this will be used, this money. Then they accepted European debt, we strongly opposed any idea of giving this right to Eurocrats in Brussels to introducing their own debt and building their own sources of income by that. And they, of course, accepted. Then they accepted also in 2020 a special pan-European COVID fund called Next Generation EU, even this phrase, next generation EU is evil and of course they accepted it and they made a campaign in Poland that it's a big success of Poland and that we will have billions of euros because of this success of Prime Minister Morawiecki and law and justice. And there was a small minority of their MPs who criticised this but they were silenced in the party and in the media and in fact from the perspective of Polish voters we were the only one independent voice in Parliament. I took part in this debate in Parliament and criticised this next, please check this by some search engines, what is this, next generation EU. This is not only a European debt program. It is paid by European taxes and by European debt for many years, but it's also a new attitude towards European funds. They accepted that we will have funds only under many new political conditions. So now we got some milestones, they call these milestones, and this is the list of tasks, of political tasks, and they program Polish policy by Polish so-called democratic government from Brussels without any base in constitution. We have more than 100 milestones and these are the conditions to get this money. So, we made a new debt. This is not our debt, this is the European debt. And to use this debt, we have conflict with EU for almost 3 or 4 years. And they now lecture us on every issue from this list of 100 milestones. And Prime Minister Morawiecki from the Law and Justice Party in the Polish parliament said that he is not ashamed of this deal because, for example, Italians have more than 400 milestones, tasks. So it's a nightmare from the perspective of somebody who is in favour of Polish independence and sovereign policy and democracy and even democracy in Poland. They made a secret agreement in Polish parliament with leftists to support this, because even in their own political camp, they call it United Right, which is false, because the right in Poland is not united. But they use this phrase united right and theywere afraid that not every MP will support this but because it was so controversial so they made a secret agreement with leftists. They took some leftist agenda in this deal and they made majority with leftists to push it through the parliament. Then they never discussed all this deal and this 100 milestones in parliament. We had never any debate on this issue. In fact, this negotiations were secret also against people in government. Not every member of government knew what they discussed in Brussels. Now we know this only from media. They never introduced this deal in parliament and explained what's going on. Then they accepted very, in my opinion, bad new rule called rule of law conditionality. So now without base in European treaties, Eurocrats in Brussels can lecture us what is rule of law. They can stop money for us. So these were some examples of their EU policy. There are many more, for example, their member of European Committee was in favour of European Green Deal. He even said that it's in line with political agenda on agriculture of law and justice. So they had a big conflict, of course, with EU on this rule of law. And in this conflict they it was completely complete disaster for Polish state because they started this conflict and then they missed everything because they never finished any reform of courts in Poland and they made even leftists stronger in Poland because they tried to make some compromise with Brussels. This compromise was never accepted by Brussels because it was not, let's say, 100% what Brussels wanted. But in fact we have a very big mess in courts and in law about courts and about independence of judiciary. And now after this conflict and these reforms never finished as I said the situation is worse than when it started worse on the sovereignty worse on the justice and the time that you need to wait in the court for the justice. And worse, from the perspective of the power of liberal lobby in judiciary and right-wing people who, trusted law and justice government are in a very bad situation now because they took some positions or some propositions, and now they are nowhere, in the middle of nowhere. It's a very sad story. Then we have economic policy. Their economic policy was, in fact, social democratic. So they raised taxes, they raised debts, they extended public spending. They tried to centralize every policy. They took money from local governments. they put this money to their national budget and they try to influence every policy by their political nominees and they work like, let's say, Maybe not autocratic, but it was a typical one-party government which tried to centralize and control everything. It's the opposite that I understand the pro-national policy or conservative policy. It was, in my opinion, it was elitist and even social democratic when you analyse. For example, they were strongly against home-schooling and against independent schools. They proposed some legislation to ban homes chooling. After some protests of conservatives and leftists united, they stepped back. But after protests in their party and outside and from many directions. But their first goal was to centralize everything under the government rule. And we said that it's stupid because they will not rule for forever and after them the left will come to the government and exactly this is what we have in Poland. Now we have center-left government, liberal and leftists, and the left took Ministry of Education, everything was centralized. And now they try to switch, oppose every institution and every policy that law and justice created. And we said that it will be so. And now we see the consequences of their stupid policy, which was not conservative, not Christian, not supporting any citizens' movement. They believed only in their political party and that's all. This is their philosophy. Then we have a very important issue for us in Poland, let's say, immigration. Law and Justice government was introduced in Poland, open borders policy. They were against illegal immigration and at the same time they opened borders. For biggest immigration, legal immigration in Poland since maybe 300 years. Last time that we have so big immigration was maybe in 16th or 17th century. Now we have millions of legal immigrants in Poland, the majority of them are Ukrainians, but there are also people from different Asian and especially Asian countries. They didn't want immigrants from Africa, but they invited people from Asia. They made, being anti-Russian party, they made a special easier way for Russian citizens to come to Poland, to be a part of our labor market. They opened our market for people from Belarus, from Central Asia, from Caucasus. Now Georgian immigrants are the biggest group when you analyze crimes in Poland, they are in the first place. When you analyse people who smuggle illegal immigrants, Ukrainians are in the first place. We have, it's strange, but there is no official statistics how many immigrants do we have in Poland. Nobody can count them, because these are millions and they opened borders for legal immigration, but they didn't build any administration to control the immigration. So, in fact, the best data that we have is not from the government, but from telecom operators, from big telecom business who can say how many people use different languages on their phones. So this is how we know. Or from banks, because these people from abroad open bank accounts. But it's not all. It's not started with the war in Ukraine. This is what I would like to underline. We had much more than a million Ukrainian people in Poland before the war. They were intentionally invited and government worked also on some agreements with some Asian countries to increase legal immigration to Poland. These were also Muslim countries. During the law and justice government, Muslim population in Poland increased, in my opinion, more than ten times. In fact, to be honest, it is still small, but they started this. So now we have information that a third mosque will be built in Warsaw, and the biggest one, of course, with the money from abroad, because they never, they always criticized any foreign influence, and they never proposed any legislation to stop the influence by money from abroad, for the politics, or for example, to found Islam, or Muslim movement in Poland. Then, when the war in Ukraine started, they opened borders for refugees and in fact not only for refugees but for everybody with Ukrainian passport because they made some legislation. Giving every privilege that Polish citizens have for everybody with Ukrainian passport, even for people who came here from Western Europe. It's strange, but it's true. They made a special amendment, because their first goal was always to encourage as many foreigners to live and work in Poland as it is possible. It has two reasons. First is that they believe in multicultural society. It is a part of, this is some branch of Polish pre-modern tradition, that we had a commonwealth with different nations and some of them are from this tradition and they believe that they can rebuild this commonwealth with different nations in encouraging these nations to build some community, not let's say Polish community, but they call it a Republican community, a new commonwealth of nations. From our perspective, it sounds very similar to globalist agenda, but they say, no, no, no, it's not a multiculturalism by globalists, This is our tradition of Polish multiculturalism. We as a national movement completely do not believe in this concept. We believe it's anachronic, pre-modern, and it didn't work. In fact, we had a commonwealth with different nations, but these nations don't want commonwealth with us. These nations like Belarusians, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, all of them wanted independent states. And it's normal, it's normal that every nation want to have their own independent states. So, some of law and justice politicians are people older age with their heads in the clouds, reading historical books and believing in some ideas, for example, from 17th, 16th or 18th century. And in my opinion they don't understand nothing from our times and especially they don't understand that mass immigration is a big threat for the society. In Poland this process started, especially in bigger cities. Warsaw under the Law and Justice government became much closer to London when we analysed the population. There are not many African people, but many people from Asia, as I said, and especially from Russia and Ukraine. The situation is changing very fast. They made a legislation and as I said, they gave every privilege, every policy for Polish citizens. They gave it also to the people with Ukrainian passports. And these are many millions of people who would like to live abroad. We are the only European nation that pays for everything. And, of course, we have nothing in exchange. We have some agenda towards Ukraine, but they did nothing from our agenda, and we gave everything. And this is what we're against because we believe that it's impossible for one country to have two nations on the payroll, and this is how it works now. Then you have also Ukraine and supporting Ukraine agenda. At the beginning of the war we were not against, because we believed that this horrible Russian attack, is a crime and is a threat, but after two years we see that their government gave all that we have to Ukraine and the result is still not clear and other European nations do not act this way. They negotiate some things for them. Americans are also not very fast to give everything what they have. And now, for example, our army do not have enough weapons because they gave new weapons from Polish army to Ukraine. And at the beginning they said that Americans or Germans will give us in change new equipment, all the equipment and the thing, but they didn't. So it's very hard being a Pole and seeing all of that. It's very hard not to be critical to law and justice and their government. In fact, we are not surprised. We know these people for many years. We know that during the debate about joining EU they were in the same camp as leftists, as centrists, progressives and all of them. In fact, they were never national or truly traditionalist or truly conservative right. They are a mix of people of different ideas and their leader of law and justice. It's not easy to understand this, being a foreigner, but to understand the situation you should know that the leader of law and justice Jaroslaw Kaczynski. He always were against Polish nationalist tradition. He is rather from the tradition of Polish patriotic socialism. We had some pre-war tradition from interwar period of Polish, let's say, Polish patriotic socialists and this is their first choice. They do not talk about this last decades because they know that people would like to vote right-wing party, not patriotic left-wing party. But the leader is rather from, let's say, centrist or centre-left patriotic republican tradition, the leader of law and justice. The members of the party are very mixed and very different. I would not say that every MP is bad. There are many probably MPs with good views but they vote bad or act bad being in government. I will give you one more or two more examples. For example, we had a very big debate in Poland about pro-life. Law and justice was always pro-life in declaration but when they got majority they did everything thing not to vote on pro-life bill so two times polish pro-life movement collected more than hundreds of thousands of signatures having majority so-called pro-life majority people had to collect hundreds of thousands of signatures to put citizens bill to parliament and they voted against. They voted against for two times, then we as right-wing MPs, some of their MPs and every MP from Confederation made written request to Constitutional Court and Constitutional Court with some nominees, right-wing nominees from Law and Justice waited few years to analyse this request, but after they analysed this, they made a judgement that it is against Polish constitution to kill unborn babies with some disabilities or health problems. And this is how the situation changed, not by the voting in parliament, And of course, people who are in favour of law and justice say that this was their secret plan to organise this this way. But I do not believe. In my opinion, it was rather by accident. They never wanted. And now their former prime minister Morawiecki said that he is against this sentence of the court, of constitutional court. That they should defend this. Yes. But they said that they are against because they are afraid of public opinion, people who like abortion, they want centrist voters and so on. So they do not defend, they controlled every media in Poland and they didn't defend this issue. Another example, their prime minister supported long-term EU LGBT strategy. Being prime minister voted in favour. Another example, their minister who was responsible for European funds sent a secret letter to local governments that if they want European funds they should cancel Anti-LGBT and pro-family statements. Many local councils made some statements that they are against LGBT propaganda in schools and they support normal family policy. It was then criticized by, of course, progressive media and some LGBT organizations, but there was nothing against citizens' rights. It was nothing against civil liberties or something. It was a declaration that we don't want propaganda in schools or something like that. And we know that they made this letter to local governments. We know that only from LGBT organizations because they published this, being proud that the so-called right-wing government is pushing the pressure with the EU to local governments to be not too much conservative. Yes, so it shows how they work and they say one thing and they do the opposite and it was always like that. We know we know these people for four decades So we are not surprised about normal polish voter don't know all of these facts because you need, hundreds of hours to follow every information and analyse everything to to gather these details and to understand what's going on and if you follow only mainstream media, even mainstream Catholic media in Poland. In progressive mainstream media, you had an attack on law and justice, that these are nationalists, they are xenophobic, they are anti-European, they want to go back to the Middle Ages or something like that. So people said, okay, these are good people, yes, they are very conservative. And if you listen to some right-wing media or Catholic media, They are true conservatives. They fight very hard, tough fights in the EU and so on. And you had nowhere to have the truth about how they rule, how they govern the country. Everybody analyzed only what they said. And their speeches were quite good. I can agree. For example, two days ago, I listened to the speech of their leader and to their convention about EU policy and I could take this and it could be my speech, yes, but it has nothing to do with their government, what they did in Brussels. This is the problem and I think it's a problem in many countries. It's a problem also in Hungary. Orban is also very pragmatic, yes, he's not a nationalist. And there's a problem in Italy with the Meloni government. It's not an independent agenda of independence. And in many other countries. So this is how it works. And this is why we believe that Polish politics deserve a truly right-wing party with truly conservative and truly pro-national and sovereign agenda and people who are against political correctness. This is what gathers us in Confederation. We are against political correctness. We don't want to be influenced in any way by anybody from mainstream. And we are proud that we are anti-mainstream. Of course, I had many debates in mainstream media, so I always go when they ask me and I always discuss. And I believe that my views are not radical or far-right or anything like that. But I don't want to give up my principles and my beliefs. I don't want, I would rather, I would like to be rather outside politics, like being 12 years outside the parliament, than joining this, let's say, fake right political parties and saying good speeches and voting bad things. I don't want that. Well, Krzysztof, thank you for giving us such an overview of Polish politics. And I wish that we had politicians like yourself in the UK with conviction, with beliefs that actually stood on a biblical principle on a lot of these issues. And I just the final thought is as deputy speaker, I mean, that is a that is a prestigious, important position. You must be Donald Tusk's kind of worst nightmare, that you stand for everything he is against. I'm sure it was difficult to actually get in that position, was it? I'm sure there was opposition. I know we only have a few minutes, but I'm just curious to know the opposition from people like Tusk to actually having you, a nationalist, a Christian, in that position. It's a little bit different, in my opinion. To understand the situation, you should know that the main line of political difference, is in Poland between Civic Platform and Donald Tusk as a leader, and Law and Justice and Jarosław Kaczyński as a leader. It's not, on some level of course it's a, let's say, ideological and political different, but they have many things in common. This is our, let's say, talking point, yes, that they are not so different on the level of agenda of political program. When you analyze their EU policy, they could exchange their ministers, and in fact, they're exchanged in these two political parties many members of cabinets. In fact, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki before was an advisor to Donald Tusk. And there are many examples, I will not go into the detail because it's not so important. It is important to understand that it's a, let's say, ambition conflict between Kaczynski and Tusk. It's obvious that they hate each other. It started in 80s in the opposition movement. They have very bad opinion about each other, very bad. This is a true conflict, a true personal conflict. Both of them try to be pragmatic and in fact they are very pragmatic, very. But not on this one issue, not all about them themselves. This is their weak point that they become very emotional. So going back to the situation in the chamber and me as a deputy speaker Donald Tusk and don't care he don't care he hate yaroslav kaczynski and me I'm the guy from the different generation, in my opinion he do not believe in anything he is a pragmatic politician after so many years in politics. He was a liberal, he was a classic liberal in 80s, maybe early 90s. So on the level of defending economic freedom, I think he understands everything what we say. And he's a former classic liberal. Maybe he started on the same positions as Viktor Orban, but during years in politics, he lost belief probably in any principle. And now probably the only thing that he believes is pragmatism and power. Being in power and being pragmatic. This is how I understand him. So, in my opinion, he used left-wing politicians as tools. He gave them the platform, as you say in English, he gave them the platform, he gave them the space, even in government, he gave them a very important part of administration because he doesn't care. Not because he supports these ideas, he doesn't care. In my opinion, he personally believes that these are stupid people with stupid program but he didn't care. So he also didn't care about my views, in my opinion. Of course, some of his members in his political party care a lot and hate very conservative people. This is, let's say, a pro-abortion lobby in his party, very strong now, because his party started as centre-right party. It is interesting that Civic Platform, the party of Donald Tusk, started in 2001, all these three parties that I talked about, so League of Polish Families, Law and Justice and Civic Platform, all these political parties started in 2001 and entered the parliament. League of Polish Families after seven years was kicked out from parliament by voters unfortunately, but Law and Justice and Civic Platform stayed there and both Law and Justice Party and Civic Platform started as centre-right political parties very similar to each other, so similar that some politicians in 2001 didn't know which one to join so it was like a lottery or you had colleagues here so you go there you have colleagues here you go there it was a time of big changes in Polish politics so a civic platform the party of Donald Tusk started as a platform with principles of defending western civilization defending Christian values defending economic freedom defending some some conservative values maybe not everything but some and being pro-EU this was the starting point and after 20 years, they are centre-left political parties with very big pro-abortion, progressive lobby inside, former post-communist politicians, former leftist politicians inside, Green Party inside, because they built a civic coalition, they extended civic platform into civic coalition. And in this coalition, you have people who split it from the post-communist left, you have Green Party, you have some citizens' movement, and It's a central left spectrum. And Donald Tusk is a leader for everybody because now he tried to be pragmatic, not to be too close to any special views, yes? So for me it's completely not a problem. It's a problem with some MPs who are trying to be a little bit offensive or sometimes aggressive but I have my attitude which is always being very calm and polite to everybody no matter what are his views. I try to be polite and with respect to everybody this is I believe that how we should act in democratic politics and in Parliament and it works, because in fact even left-wing MPs or pro-abortion MPs have a good opinion about me as a deputy speaker, because I do not interrupt their speeches, I'm not nasty, counting their time. They could cooperate on this normal level with me, in my opinion, much better than, for example, with deputy speakers from law and justice, they were horrible, they were nasty, they were aggressive. They used their seat to, not to push their agenda, but to push their emotions against other people. So they were, there were attempts to push me from the seat, to kick me from the seat, the left put this request, but nobody voted in favor of this request, because nobody believed that it's a good decision to take this position from me and give it to anybody else. I think it's a result of maybe 20 years of my work in public debate and people know who I am, people know that I have my views, but people even who do not believe in my views, they respect that I didn't change them for many years, that I, in fact, in my opinion, many people from centre-left also respect me, that I didn't join law and justice. Because they have very bad opinion about law and justice, also about how they ruled when you analyse what they did with public money. Yes, this is another story, what they did with public money, how they used this for themselves. Their interests. Not very many bad stories. And we were not involved in all of that. So in my opinion, I have, I am lucky because I have a big respect. Of course, not everybody like me and especially not everybody like my views. But I have no reasons, I have no reason to say that I'm in a bad situation. Well, Krzysztof, I do appreciate your time. I'm so thankful to have you on. I know you've got great demands on your time being in that high profile position and being a high profile figure in the country. So thank you so much for giving us your time to explain to our UK and US audience a little bit about Polish politics. So thank you. Thank you very much for this invitation and this conversation and to finish this conversation with some good accent I would like to invite everybody who are true conservative people to come to Poland to meet us. We are very open to extend our international contacts. What I would like to say is that on the level of personal contacts. If some of you have some contacts with people from law and justice, it's not bad for us. As a normal people, we talk with each other normally in Parliament and outside Parliament. So we are critical to their leadership and to their prime minister, but taking normal MPs, we talk like normal people. And it is possible to have contacts with law and justice, for example, in European Parliament and with us in Poland or when we enter the European Parliament. So I would like to encourage everybody from truly right-wing movement to build contacts with Polish people, with Polish conservative organisations, political parties, editorial houses, NGOs, social movements. We have a big social movement, very many organizations and many good people. And please, come to Poland, have this contact, maybe also some people from the States. I believe that we should support each other. I always put some time and my energy to build this contact, so maybe some of my colleagues from abroad will watch this interview. I hope so. And me personally and our colleagues from Confederation, we are always very open to support every good people with good ideas to defend the principles that we believe, also conservative, traditional, Christian, Pro-freedom, pro-independence, and other good principles. So, this is my word and I believe that despite all these bad tendencies that we see in Western world, in Europe, we should have hope and we should defend good principles and good values, because this is our duty and this is how I believe, this is what we should do. So I have very big respect for every people who work in politics and on social level in countries that are less conservative than Poland, because I know how it feels when your country is going in the wrong direction. I talked with people from different countries and I know how it feels and I have big respect if you do a good job and give hope to your people, to your nations. Exactly. Well, thank you, Krzysztof, for your time. Greatly appreciate it. And I'm sure we will speak soon. Thank you very much.

One of the cliches people often use when they're talking about politicians and the way they behave in Parliament is that they behave like “a bunch of kids”.  I've been hearing people say that forever. And, of course, what they're talking about is the way politicians sometimes lose their rag when they're debating things in the House.  But Green Party MP Julie Anne Genter went next level last night, walking across the debating chamber and going-off at National's Matt Doocey.  She was waving a pamphlet and yelling right into his face. You can see it online, it's everywhere, thanks to Parliament being filmed all the time these days.   Now she's apologised and could face further action. And I think she should face further action. In fact, I don't know why she hasn't been suspended by the party, that's what I think they need to do ASAP.  And she wouldn't be the first. You'll remember that another Green MP is currently suspended. This is Darleen Tana, who the Greens suspended after allegations that she was linked to migrant exploitation at a business her husband runs.  And Golriz Gharaman, of course, was suspended after the shoplifting accusations started to emerge at the beginning of this year.   Now you could say there's a difference here because with Darleen Tana, she's been linked to potential illegal activity. And Golriz Gharaman was accused of illegal activity and subsequently admitted her guilt.   Whereas Julie Anne Genter just lost her cool in Parliament last night. Which is putting it mildly.  And you're not going to hear me defend what she did but I'm sure, like me, you can appreciate that politicians are pretty highly skilled when it comes to getting under each other's skin. And I know from our dealings on the show, that Matt Doocey is pretty skilled in that department.           Nevertheless, she lost it. And she should be stood down because of it.   I see one of her fellow Green MPs, Steve Abel, is saying there was no physical contact and Genter had returned to her seat as soon as the Deputy Speaker —who was running things at the time— asked her to.  Which is nonsense.   To say there was no physical contact so nothing to see here, is just ridiculous. Because you imagine if I went out into the office at work with a piece of paper and started waving it around and yelling into someone's face.    Do you think my bosses would say to the person ‘oh yeah, but he didn't actually hit you, there was no physical contact, so stop your whinging'? Of course, they wouldn't.     And I think National MP Vanessa Weenink is making a very good point today, saying that if it was her (instead of Matt Doocey) and a male MP had confronted her in the same way as Genter did, then things would be viewed differently.  And I think, sadly, that would be the case. Because, unless the Greens do suspend her, what they're doing is they're telling Matt Doocey that he's a big boy and he should be able to handle a woman going off at him.  Now chances are, Julie Anne Genter will be referred to Parliament's Privileges Committee - which, like all select committees, is made up of MPs from across Parliament and considers complaints made about the way MPs behave.  Recently, we've had the likes of Jan Tinneti and Grant Robertson referred to the Privileges Committee. Back in 2008, Winston Peters was referred for failing to disclose a large donation.   Speaking of Winston, you might have heard him saying on Newstalk ZB this morning that he doesn't think Julie Anne Genter's apology cuts it.  He said: ”I think she just lost the plot.” And her saying “I made you feel unsafe and I'm sorry” just ‘doesn't cut it'." And I agree.   So, she is likely to end up in front of the Privileges Committee, providing there's a complaint from another MP about what she got up to last night. But that's not enough, as far as I'm concerned.  What needs to happen is, behind the scenes, the Green Party needs to tell the likes of its MP Steve Abel to stop trying to defend what she did. To stop this nonsense about it not being so bad because she didn't actually hit Matt Doocey. That's behind the scenes.  And publicly, it needs to come out today and announce that it is suspending Julie Anne Genter for her behaviour, because just leaving it to the Privileges Committee isn't enough.  If she isn't suspended, then the Greens will be saying loud and clear that what she did last night is fine by them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

His comments come as President Kiir this week rejected any extension of the transitional period, saying elections should take place this year as scheduled. Pierrino tells VOA's James Butty, having elections now would be a recipe for violence because the country is far behind implementation of the Revitalized Peace Agreement.

Show notes and Transcript At long last it has happened. Andrew Bridgen MP (Reclaim Party) secured a debate on excess deaths in the UK Parliament.  Nearly twenty requests were turned down but Andrew simply would not give up.  His courage and determination to find out the truth won in the end.  Andrew gave a 25 minute presentation of all the data and facts which show a shocking rise in excess deaths since the covid jab rollout.  The fact that many people have died after receiving an injection appears to be the very reason every government wants total silence on this issue.  As you watch Andrew speak, be inspired to speak truth in the circles you find yourself in.  Use the information in the speech to arm yourself with the facts.  We now await a much longer 3 hour debate on excess deaths which Andrew is requesting. *This episode contains a background of the debate, the full speech by Andrew Bridgen MP, his message afterwards to the supporters gathered outside in Parliament Square and Peter catches a few words with the man himself. Andrew Bridgen  Member of Parliament for North West Leicestershire since 2010https://www.reclaimparty.co.uk/andrew-bridgen  Some Key Points Made During the Speech... - Ambulance calls for life-threatening emergencies ranged from a steady 2,000 calls per day until the vaccine rollout, from then it rose to 2,500 daily and calls have stayed at this level since.   - The surveillance systems designed to spot a safety problem have all flashed red, but no one's looking. - Payments for Personal Independent Payments (PIP) for people who have developed a disability and cannot work, have rocketed with the vaccine rollout and have continued to rise ever since. - The trial data showed that one in eight hundred injected people had a serious adverse event, meaning the risk of this was twice as high than the chance of preventing a Covid hospitalisation. - There were just over 14,000 excess deaths in the under 65-year-olds, before vaccination, from April 2020 to the end of March 2021. However, since that time there have been over 21,000 excess deaths in this age group alone. - There were nearly two extra deaths a day in the second half of 2021 among 15 – 19-year-old males,  but potentially even more if those referred to the coroner were fully included.

Today we are here with Andrew Bridgen at a debate in Parliament, the first debate in this Parliament, on excess deaths. There's been very little debates, very little discussions on vaccine harms here. Of course, this is the issue that Andrew Bridgen MP was thrown out of the Conservative Party, the Tories, for beginning to raise the issue of vaccine harms and now raising the issue of excess deaths was simply is not discussed in this place. I've seen discussion in other parts of the world, especially Germany, with the AFD. But Andrew Bridgen has made this the hill that he will fight and die on. And he has been thrown out of the Conservative Party. He's lost that position he had for many years. Andrew Bridgen, of course, is one of the original Brexiteers, well known to any of us involved in the Brexit movement, in the UKIP movement. And Andrew has been fearless. He's one of those strange beasts in Westminster. He is led by conviction. He is led by courage and led by a desire to do what is right. And he had no desire to climb up the greasy pole. He's traditionally been a backbencher. So has stood his ground, kept his position as a lowly MP and not wanted to rise to the ministerial level, because that gives him the freedom to discuss what he wants. He's not held, he's not restricted by government restrictions, but he can say what he thinks and do what is right for his constituents, for those who vote for him, and realise that he is the servant of the people and he is not the servant of the government. So today there will be a debate led by Andrew Bridgen, I assume he will be one of maybe very few, one of one, who will actually speak on this. I'm really curious to see. I've seen a couple of Conservative, MPs who have touched on this, who have spoken a little bit about this, sometimes on GB News, but they have not gone as far as Andrew Bridgen. And Andrew Bridgen has gone this far. He has lost his job over it, and he doesn't care, because this is the right thing to do when a jab when an experimental vaccine, so-called vaccine, was rolled out and everyone was coerced and more or less forced to take it. Andrew was in that, he also took it, now regrets that and wants to keep raising the alarm on the ongoing effects of this and of course to challenge this government overreach that wants to force this upon everyone. This of course is a conservative government supposedly that stands up for freedom of speech, personal responsibility, rights, and yet all those traditional understandings of a conservative party have been completely upended and is no longer a party of freedom and liberty but is now a party of coercion and control. A number of MPs I assume will come in and speak after Andrew will present his position on excess deaths and ask the question, why is this? It seems to correlate to the rollout of the jab. You and I know that. We've seen the data. Andrew will be careful in how he puts it forward. He will use parliamentary language. He's skilled enough in this chamber to know what to say, what not to say, what connects with those in the chamber, and to win them over. Because ultimately, politics is about the art of persuasion. It is about winning the public over. And today, it is not necessarily the public is winning over, although you will watch the debate in a few moments, but actually is winning over MPs. And that also is crucial. Whatever you think, we still have 650 individuals and many of us mistrust absolutely, many of us detest. Many of us have had a traditional understanding of politics where there was a level of trust with our institutions and that included those in the building behind me. That is gone. I think for all of us, that is completely gone. And to have an individual who is a champion on the issue of curtailing that government overreach, asking questions, following the money, saying, was this just a push by big pharma for profits? Was this something darker? There are a whole load of areas we can go into, but Andrew has, wisely stayed within the areas he can understand. He has read papers, he has, understood them and he has presented those and I think he has been extremely wise on how far he has gone on this because it is a case of winning people over. That's what we have faced, all of us, over the last three years of winning friends, family, colleagues, connections over to persuade them that this is a dangerous experiment on not only the UK population but on the world population. We have a police car. I hope they don't want to arrest Andrew before his debate. I don't think even our government would do that, would they? Anyway, I will let you watch the debate, watch Andrew speaking, and then after I will try and catch up with a number of the people who have been here to support Andrew. I saw, Mike Yeadon earlier heading into the debate and I saw Matt Le Tissier earlier, I saw Fiona Hines earlier, I saw a big group of people who are here to support Andrew as he speaks truth and to let him know that he is not alone because it must feel very alone in that chamber. No one to back you, no one to support you and you feel as though you are a lonely voice crying out in the wilderness and yet. Many people have come to show Andrew that there are many people behind him who are indebted to him for actually speaking truth in this place and are standing with him shoulder-to-shoulder. So we'll hopefully talk to a few of those people after the debate. (Andrew Bridgen MP) Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. We've experienced more excess deaths since July 2021, than the whole of 2020. Unlike the pandemic, however, these deaths are not disproportionately of the old. In other words, the excessive deaths are striking down people in the prime of life. But no one seems to care. I fear history will not judge this House kindly. Worse still, in a country supposedly committed to free and frank exchange of views, it appears that no one cares that no one cares. Well, I care, Mr Deputy Speaker, and I credit those members here in attendance today who also care. And I'd also like to thank the Honourable Member for Lincoln for his support, and I'm, sorry that he couldn't attend today's debate. It's taken a lot of effort and more than 20 rejections to be allowed to raise this topic, But at last we're here to discuss the number of people dying. Nothing could be more serious. Numerous countries are currently gripped in a period of unexpected mortality, and no one wants to talk about it. It's quite normal for death numbers to fluctuate up and down by chance alone, but what we're seeing here is a pattern, repeated across countries, and the rise has not let up. I'll give way to my Honourable Gentleman.  (Phillip Davies MP) I'm very grateful and can I commend him for the tenacious way he's battled on this particular, issue. I certainly admire him for that. I just wonder where he found the media was in all of this, because of course during the Covid pandemic, every day, the media, particularly the BBC, couldn't wait to tell us how many people had died in that particular day without any context of those figures whatsoever. But they seem to have gone strangely quiet over these excess deaths now. (Andrew Bridgen MP) I thank the gentleman for his intervention. He's absolutely right. The media have let the British public down badly. There will be a full press pack going out to all media outlets following my speech with all the evidence to back up all the claims I'll make in that speech. But I don't doubt there'll be no mention of it in the mainstream media. You might think that a debate about excess deaths is going to be full of numbers. This speech does not have that many numbers because most of the important numbers have been kept hidden. Other data has been oddly presented in a distorted way, and concerned people seeking to highlight important findings and ask questions have found themselves inexplicably under attack. Before debating excess deaths, it's important to understand how excess death is determined. To understand if there is an excess, by definition you need to estimate how many deaths it would have been expected. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development used 2015-2019 as a baseline, and the Government's Office of Health Disparities and Improvement used its 2015-2019 baseline modelled to allow for ageing, and I've used that data here. Unforgivably, the Office of National Statistics have included deaths in 2021 as part of their baseline calculation for expected deaths, as if there was anything normal about the deaths in 2021. Exaggerating the number of deaths expected, the number of excess can be minimized. Why would the ONS want to do that? There's just too much that we don't know and it's not good enough Mr. Deputy Speaker. The ONS published promptly each week the number of deaths that were registered and while this is commendable it's not the data point that really matters. There's a total failure to collect, never mind publish, data on deaths that are referred for investigation to the coroner. Why does this matter? A referral means that it can be many months and, given the backlog, many years before a death is formally registered. Needing to investigate the cause of a death is fair enough. Failing to record when the death happened is not. Because of this problem, we actually have no idea how many people actually died in 2021. Even now, the problem is greatest for the younger age groups, where there's, a higher proportion of deaths are investigated. This date of failure is unacceptable. It must change. There's nothing in a coroner's report that can bring anyone back from the dead and those deaths should be reported. The youngest age groups are important not only because they should have their whole lives ahead of them. If there is a new cause of excess mortality across the board, it would not be noticed so much in the older cohorts because the extra deaths would be drowned out amongst the expected deaths. However, in the youngest cohorts, that is not the case. There were nearly two extra deaths a day in the second half of 2021 among 15 to 19 year old males, but potentially even more if those referred to the coroner were fully included. In a judicial review of the decision to vaccinate yet younger children, the ONS refused in court to give anonymised details about these deaths. They, admitted that the data they were withholding was statistically significant and I quote they said, the ONS recognises that more work could be undertaken to examine the mortality rates of young people in 2021 and intends to do so once more reliable data are available. How many more extra deaths in 15 to 19 year olds would it take to trigger such work? Surely the ONS should be desperately keen to investigate deaths in young men. Why else have an independent body charged with examining mortality data? Surely the ONS has a responsibility to collect data from the coroners to produce timely information? Let's move on to old people, because most deaths in the old are registered promptly and we do have a better feel for how many older people are dying. Deaths from dementia and Alzheimer's show what we ought to expect. There was a period of high mortality coinciding with COVID and lockdowns, but ever since there have been fewer deaths than expected. After a period of high mortality, we expect, and historically have seen, a period of low mortality because those who have sadly died cannot die again. Those whose deaths were slightly premature because of COVID and lockdowns, died earlier than they otherwise would have. This principle should hold true for every cause of death and every age group, but that's not what we're seeing. Even for the over 85-year-olds, according to the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities, there were 8,000 excess deaths, 4% above the expected levels, for the 12 months starting in July 2020. That includes all of the autumn 2020 wave of COVID, when we had tiering, the second lockdown, and it includes all of the first COVID winter. However, for the year starting July 2022, there have been over 18,000 excess deaths in this age group, 9% above expected levels, more than twice as many in a period when there should have been a deficit. And when deaths from diseases previously associated with old age were actually fewer than expected. Mr Deputy Speaker, I have raised my concerns around NG163 and the use of midazolam and morphine, which may have caused and may still be causing premature deaths in the vulnerable, but that is sadly a debate for another day. There were just over 14,000 excess deaths in the under 65-year-olds before vaccination from April 2020 to the end of March 2021. However, since that time there have been over 21,000 excess deaths, ignoring the registration delay problem, the majority, 58% of these deaths, were not attributed to Covid. We turned society upside down before vaccination for fear of excess deaths from Covid. Today we have substantially more excess deaths, and in younger people, and there's complete and eerie silence, Mr Deputy, Speaker. The evidence is unequivocal. There was a clear stepwise increase in mortality following the vaccine rollout. There was a reprieve in the winter of 2021-22 because there were fewer than expected respiratory deaths, but otherwise the excess has been incessantly at this high level. Ambulance data for England provides another clue. Ambulance calls for life-threatening emergencies were running at a steady 2,000 calls per day until the vaccine rollout. From then it rose to 2,500 daily and calls have stayed at this level since. The surveillance systems designed to spot a safety problem have all flashed red but no one's looking. Claims for personal independence payments for people who've developed a disability and cannot work rocketed with the vaccine rollout and it's, continued to rise ever since. The same was seen in the USA, also started with the vaccine rollout, not with Covid. A study to determine the vaccination status of a sample of such claimants, would be relatively quick and inexpensive to perform, yet nobody seems interested in ascertaining this vital information. Officials have chosen to turn a blind eye to this disturbing, irrefutable and frightening data, much like Nelson did, but for far less honourable reasons. He would be ashamed of us, Mr Deputy Speaker. Furthermore, data that has been used to sing the praises of the vaccines is deeply flawed. Only one COVID-related death was prevented in each of the initial major trials that led to authorisation of the vaccines and that is taking their data entirely at face value, whereas a growing number of inconsistencies and anomalies suggest we ought not to do this. Extrapolating from that means that between 15,000 and 20,000 people had to be injected to prevent a single death from COVID. To prevent a single COVID hospitalisation, over 1,500 people needed to be injected. The trial data showed that 1 in 800 injected people had a serious adverse event, meaning they were hospitalised or had a life-changing or life-threatening condition. The risk of this was twice as high as the chance of preventing a COVID hospitalisation. We're harming 1 in 800 people to supposedly save 1 in 20,000. This is madness. The strongest claims have too often been based on modelling carried out on the basis of flawed assumptions. Where observational studies have been carried out, researchers will correct, for age and comorbidities to make the vaccines look better. However, they never correct for socio-economic or ethnic differences that would make the vaccines look worse. This matters. For example, claims of high mortality in less vaccinated regions in the United States, took no account of the fact that this was the case before the vaccines were rolled out. That is why studies that claim to show the vaccines prevented Covid deaths also showed a marked effect of them preventing non-Covid deaths. The prevention of non-Covid deaths is always a statistical illusion and claims of preventing Covid deaths should not be assumed when that illusion has not been corrected for. And when it is corrected for, the claims of efficacy for the vaccines vanish with it. COVID disproportionately killed people from ethnic minorities and lower socioeconomic groups. During the 2020, during the pandemic, the deaths among the most deprived were up by 23%, compared to 17% for the least deprived. However, since 2022, the pattern has reversed, with 5% excess mortality amongst the most deprived, compared to 7% among the least deprived. These deaths are being caused by something different. In 2020, the excess was highest in the oldest cohorts and there were fewer than expected deaths amongst the younger age groups. But since 2022, the 50 to 64 year old cohort has had the highest excess mortality. Even the youngest age groups are now seeing substantial excess, with a 9% excess in the under 50s since 2022 compared to 5% now in the over 75 group. Despite London being a younger region, the excess in London is only 3%, whereas it is higher in every more heavily vaccinated region of the UK. It should be noted that London is famously the least vaccinated region in the UK by some margin. Studies comparing regions on a larger scale show the same thing. There are studies from the Netherlands, Germany and the whole world each showing that the highest mortality after vaccination was seen in the most heavily vaccinated regions. So we need to ask, what are people dying of? Since 2022, there has been 11% excess in ischemic heart disease deaths and a 16% excess in heart failure deaths. In meantime, cancer deaths, only 1% above expected levels, which is further evidence that it is not simply, some other factor that affects deaths across the board, such as a failing to account for an aging population or a failing NHS. In fact, the excess itself has a seasonality with a peak in the winter months. The fact it returns to baseline levels in summer is a further indication that this is not due to some statistical error or an ageing population alone. Dr Clare Craig from the Heart Group first highlighted a stepwise increase in cardiac arrest calls after the vaccine rollout in May 2021 and Heart have repeatedly raised concerns about the increase in cardiac deaths and they have every reason to be concerned. Four participants in the vaccine group of the Pfizer trial died from cardiac arrest compared to only one in the placebo group. Overall there were 21 deaths in the vaccine group up to March 2021 compared to 17 in the placebo group. And there are serious anomalies about the reporting of the deaths within this trial, with the deaths in the vaccine group taking much longer to report than those in the placebo group. And that's highly suggestive, Mr Deputy Speaker, of a significant bias in what was supposed to be a blinded trial. An Israeli study clearly showed an increase in cardiac hospital attendances, among 18 to 39 year olds that correlated with vaccination, not with COVID. There have now been several postmortem studies demonstrating a causal link between vaccination and coronary artery disease leading to death up to four months after the last dose. And we need to remember that the safety trial was cut short to only two months. So there's no evidence of any vaccine safety beyond that point. The decision to unblind the trials after two months and vaccinate the placebo group is nothing less than a public health scandal. Everyone involved failed in their duty to the truth. But no one cares, Mr Deputy Speaker. The one place that can help us understand exactly what caused this is Australia. Australia had almost no Covid when vaccines were first introduced, making them the perfect control group. The state of South Australia had only a thousand cases of Covid across its whole population by December 2021, before Omicron arrived. What was the impact of vaccination there? For 15 to 44 year olds there was historically 1,300 emergency cardiac presentations a month. With vaccine rollout in the under 50s this rocketed to 2,172 cases in November 2021 in this age group alone, a 67% more than usual. Overall there were 17,900 South Australians who had a cardiac emergency in 2021, compared to only 13,250 in 2018, a 35% increase. It is clearly the vaccine that must be the number one suspect in this and it cannot be dismissed as just a coincidence. Australian mortality overall has increased from early 2021 and the increase is due to cardiac deaths. These excess deaths are not due to an ageing population because there are fewer deaths in the diseases of old age. These deaths are not an effect of COVID because they've happened in places where COVID have not reached and they're not due to low statin prescriptions or under-treated hypertension, as Chris Whitty would suggest, because prescriptions did not change and in any effect would have taken many years and been very small. The prime suspect must be something that was introduced to the population as a whole, something novel. The prime hypothesis must be the experimental COVID-19 vaccines. The ONS published a data set of deaths by vaccinated and unvaccinated. At first glance, it appears to show that the vaccines are safe and effective. However, there were several huge problems with how they presented that data. One was that for the first three-week period after injection, the ONS claimed, there were only a tiny number of deaths. The number the ONS would normally predict to occur in a single week. Where were the deaths from the usual causes? When this was raised, the ONS claimed that the sickest people did not get vaccinated, and therefore people who were taking the vaccination were self-selecting for those least likely to die. Not only is this not the case in the real world, with even hospices heavily vaccinating their residents, but the ONS's own data showed that the proportion of sickest people was equal in the vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. This inevitably raises serious questions about the ONS's data presentation. There were so many problems with the methodology used by the ONS that the Statistics Regulator agreed that the ONS data could not be used to assess vaccine efficacy or safety. That tells you something about the ONS. Consequently, Hart asked the UK Health Security Agency to provide the data they had on people who had died and therefore needed to be removed from their vaccination dataset. This request has been repeatedly refused, with excuses given, including the false claim that anonymising this data will be equivalent to creating it even though there is case law that, anonymization is not considered creation of new data. Mr Deputy Speaker I believe if this data was released it would be damning. That so many lives have been saved by mass vaccination that any amount of harm, suffering and death caused by the vaccines is a price worth paying. They're delusional, Mr Deputy Speaker. The claim of 20 million lives saved is based on now discredited models which assume that Covid waves do not peak without intervention. There have been numerous waves globally that now demonstrate that is not the case, and it was also based on there having been more than half a million lives saved in the UK. That's more than the worst-case scenario predicted at the beginning of the pandemic. For the claim to have been true, the rate at which Covid killed people would have to have taken off dramatically at the beginning of 2021 in the absence of vaccination. This is ludicrous and it bears no relationship to the truth. In the real world, Australia, New Zealand and South Korea had a mortality rate of 400 deaths per million up to the summer of 2022, after they were first hit with Omicron. So how does that compare with the Wuhan strain? France and Europe as a whole had a mortality rate of under 400 deaths per million up to the summer of 2020. Australia, New Zealand and South Korea were all heavily vaccinated before infection. So tell me, where was the benefit? The UK had just over 800 deaths per million up to the summer of 2020. So twice as much. But we know that Omicron is half as deadly as the Wuhan variant. The death rates per million are the same before and after vaccination. So where was the benefits of vaccination? The regulators have failed in their duty to protect the public. They've allowed these novel products to skip crucial safety testing by letting them be described as vaccines. They've failed to insist on safety testing being done in the years since the first temporary emergency authorisation. Even now, no one can tell you how much spike protein is produced on vaccination and for how long. Yet another example of where there is no data for me to share with the House. And when it comes to properly recording deaths due to vaccination, the system's broken. Not a single doctor registered a death from a rare brain clot before doctors in Scandinavia forced the issue and the MHRA acknowledged the problem. Only then did these deaths start to be certified by doctors in the UK. It turns out that doctors were waiting for permission from the regulator and the regulators were waiting to be alerted by the doctors. This is a lethal circularity. Furthermore, coroners have written Regulation 28 reports highlighting deaths from vaccination to prevent further deaths, yet the MHRA said in a response to an FOI that they had not received any of them. The system we have in place is clearly not functioning to protect the public. The regulators also missed the fact that the Pfizer trial, in the Pfizer trial, the vaccine was made for the trial participants in a highly controlled environment, in stark contrast to the manufacturing process used for the public rollout, which was based on a completely different technology. And just over 200 participants were given the same product that was given to the public. But not only was the data from these people never compared to those in the trial for efficacy and safety, But the MHRA have admitted that they dropped the requirement to provide the data. That means there was never a trial on the Pfizer product that was actually rolled out to the public. And that product has never been compared to the product that was actually trialled. The vaccine mass production processes use vats of Escherichia coli and present a risk of contamination with DNA from the bacteria as well as bacterial cell walls which can, cause dangerous reactions. This is not theoretical, Mr Deputy Speaker, this is now sound evidence that has been replicated by several labs across the world, and the mRNA vaccines were contaminated by DNA which far exceeded the usual permissible levels. Given that this DNA is enclosed in the lipid nanoparticle delivery system, it is arguable that even the permissible levels have been far too high. These lipid nanoparticles are known to enter every organ of the body, as well as this potentially causing some of the acute adverse reactions seen, there is a serious risk that this foreign bacterial DNA is inserting itself into human DNA. Will anybody investigate? No, they won't. I'll give way on that point.  (Danny Kruger MP) I am conscious that time is tight. I recognise that the hon. Gentleman is making a very powerful case. Does he agree that the Government should be looking at this properly and should commission of review into the excess deaths, partly so that we can reassure our constituents that the case he's making is not in fact valid and that the vaccines have no cause behind these excess deaths. (Andrew Bridgen MP) I thank the Honourable Gentleman for his support on this topic and of course that is what exactly any responsible government should do. I wrote to the Prime Minister on the 7th August 2023 with all the evidence of this but sadly Mr Deputy Speaker I still await a response. What will it take to stop these products? Their complete failure to stop infection was not enough and we all know plenty of vaccinated people who have caught and spread Covid. The, mutation of the virus to a weaker variant, Omicron, that wasn't enough. The increasing evidence of the serious harms to those of us that were vaccinated. That's not enough. And now the cardiac deaths and the deaths of young people is apparently not enough either. It's high time these experimental vaccines were suspended and a full investigation into the harms they've caused initiated. History will be a harsh judge if we don't start using evidence-based medicine. We need to return to basic science, basic ethics immediately, which means listening to all voices and investigating all concerns. In conclusion, Mr Deputy Speaker, the experimental Covid-19 vaccines are not safe and they're not effective. Despite there only being limited interest in the chamber from colleagues, and I'm very grateful for those who have attended, we can see from the public gallery there is considerable public interest. I would implore all members of the House, present and those not. Support calls for a three-hour debate on this important issue. And Mr Deputy Speaker, this might be the first debate on excess deaths in our Parliament. Indeed, it might be the first debate on excess deaths in the world, but very sadly I promise you won't be the last. (Parliament Square Speech Andrew Bridgen MP) But without further ado let's welcome to the stage Mr Andrew Bridgen. Thank you ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming down here to support the debate today, and thank you for supporting me and the cause. More? I just spoke for 25 minutes. Blood. It's been quite a week. Start of the week, get attacked from behind by a blunt instrument. But what an ending to this week. We have made history today. Nine months, more than 20 refused attempts to get a debate on excess deaths, the first debate on excess deaths in the UK, Parliament, the first proper debate on excess deaths in the world and I promise you, I absolutely promise you, it won't be the last. We will get a three hour debate in the next few weeks now on excess deaths. We've got two democracies under challenge all over the world. We're hanging over and using what we've got to make sure we get our message out there. On Tuesday next week I'm, I'm bringing in a bill, a ten minute rule motion, a bill called the Sovereignty and Referendums Bill. I'm going to put it to the House. That would stop, if we could bring that in, that would stop the WHO power grab of the people of the UK. I've been invited to speak as well next week on Zoom to some African political leaders, to try and persuade them to resist the WHO power grab, because it doesn't matter where we break this, we can break it in the UK, we can break it anywhere else in the world. This is a worldwide problem, an absolute assault on humanity, and we've all got to stick together. I've been an MP for nearly 14 years. I've given a lot of speeches in that chamber. That I was a bit nervous today because I knew there was never going to be a more important, speech I've ever given. I've never been in a more important speech than the one I was giving today. Can't you hear at the back? Turn up the PA. So, here we go. There was never going to be a more important speech than the one I was giving today, and, even after 14 years as an MP I was a little bit nervous standing up. But what really got me was, OK, there wasn't as many MPs in the chamber as I'd liked, but, the public gallery was full and the support from there was absolutely incredible. And they always say the politicians, that place over there, is in the Westminster bubble. We are going to burst the bubble in Westminster. Absolutely. Ultimately, my message to send you away with is that your determination, your cheerfulness, your resilience will deliver us victory. Thank you very much for coming today. (Hearts of Oak) Andrew, we've just been in on the debate on vaccine harms. Tell us about the process, because it's been a long, hard battle, which you talk about in the chamber. (Andrew Bridgen MP) Yeah, I've been putting in since January every week for a backbench business debate. That was refused. I've put in for a Westminster Hall debate on a weekly basis and I've put in for an adjournment debate. Eventually, after nine months and more than 20 rejections, we had the first debate on excess deaths in the UK Parliament. I think it's the first one in the world, but I promise you it won't be the last. I think the dozen or so MPs who attended today's debate, I'm hoping I'll be able to get a get them to sign up that we can have a three-hour debate well before Christmas and then it's going to grow from there because ultimately the data that I imparted in the chamber today, it's all backed up with the science. Every MP is going to be getting a copy of my Hansard speech and the full data pack of all the evidence that backs up everything I've said. There's no excuses now. So this goes to law because it's a no-brainer really to have these conversations because we've all seen excess deaths across Europe. Ask yourself in a democracy why don't they want to have a conversation about anything? I mean, I'm aware that in the Australian Senate four or five senators asked for a debate on excess deaths they ended up having a debate on whether you should have a debate on excess deaths and the consensus of the Australian Senate was they didn't want to have a debate on excess deaths. Well, I mean that's a red flag straight away, isn't it? (Hearts of Oak) Last question, I assume you believe that there are some MPs that can be won over, that public figures have kept quiet a further reputation, which you don't care about and you've walked away from the party. Tell us about those who you think you can possibly win over and then support you publicly on this. (Andrew Bridgen MP) Well certainly some of the ones that were there today, I know of some who weren't there today who will support calling for a much bigger debate on excess deaths. And ultimately it's the pressure of the electorate, the people, and you could see that although the House wasn't very full of members, the public gallery was full and that shows you that public opinion is they want this issue debated, they want to know what's gone on, and it's their right to have it happen. And that will become an irresistible force for politicians. That's how democracy works. (Hearts of Oak) Well, we've just had the debate in Parliament, a debate that I actually, to be honest, didn't think would happen. I thought that it would be stopped and held off. Only one member of 650 MPs in that place was willing to stand up and have this conversation, on vaccine arms as on excess deaths. He spoke for 24 minutes, presented everything in a measured calm manner, no emotion. One of the many things Andrew is great at, that he just lays it out gently, softly, step by step, that he doesn't raise the hyperball that maybe some others will rise to. And he laid it out in 24 minutes. And of course, the government's response is, Well, excess deaths are other factors, lifestyle factors, like smoking, like cholesterol, even fatty foods. So the government are blaming all the excess deaths over a period of a sudden spike in, smoking and a spike in eating fish and chips. That's what the government. Wow. Like ostriches with their heads in the sand. So Andrew presented his figures. The great thing is that we expect now there to be a much longer debate in Parliament. That was a short motion, a short debate, a 30 minute session. Andrew is hopeful that this can now go to a three hour fuller debate and that will be really interesting to see whether that gets tabled and whether it actually does go ahead and I would like to see other MPs backing Andrew and I think the more he speaks the more courage they will get. Andrew is someone with courage, with conviction, with a backbone, with a determination to speak truth and often, that is a rarity across there, it really is, really people want to, keep their heads down, they want to climb up the greasy pole and attain those higher levels of political achievement. So we obviously will watch this, follow Andrew. He is a hero. There's no one else in that Parliament across the way that's a hero like Andrew. And what else? I mean, it's the hill that he's chosen to die on. It's the hill that he has chosen to fight on. It's the hill that he has lost his career in the Conservative Party. And why? Because people are dying and no one is talking about it. What more important issue is there apart from life and death? And if something has been introduced and it's killing people, you need to look at it, you need to address, you need to understand it, to analyse it and then see what you do with that. So we have won here amongst 650. We will follow this and watch this closely as we see this move towards a fuller debate in Parliament and certainly my hope and prayer is that many other MPs stand up and speak, and that this happens across the world. We've seen a debate happening, I know, in the German Parliament with the AfD. I know we've seen debates happening in the Australian Parliament and the One Nation Party with Pauline and Malcolm are doing a fantastic job there. And here is one individual. Obviously, the Reclaim Party is behind Andrew Bridgen. He's a member of that of Lawrence Fox's party. And Andrew will continue to speak. And as he speaks, I believe that we will see ripple effects across the world because the world watches what happens here. This is called the mother of parliament and I believe that as Andrew continues to speak and continues to speak within this chamber that we will see other parliaments around the world address this issue. But this doesn't affect future debt, I mean, the damage is done, the deaths are happening. But at least you have to hold people to account. And for me, this is about justice. It's about honesty. It's about clarity. It is about truth, which is something that's been in short supply over the last couple of years during the COVID tyranny. So keep an eye on this space for Andrew to continue to push this. And when that longer three hour debate does happen, we will be here reporting on us and reporting on those who have come out to support Andrew today. Matt Le Tissier was here, Le God was in the chamber watching Andrew, Mike Yeadon was here speaking, Fiona Hine has done a great job in pulling people together. There is massive support and I think the parliamentarians in the government want individuals like Andrew Bridgton to feel they are alone, but they are not alone. They are backed by masses of the population and today was a small subset, of that, but Andrew knows he is not alone. Make sure and post this video, let others see what has happened here in the UK Parliament and have hope, because I think often that's also in short supply and I think what has happened today is a day of hope, is a day of reckoning and is a day of moving forward to actually presenting the truth and holding people to account.

Not all, and I know you're feeling a little bit under the weather, so we're gonna do half an hour. I appreciate you coming. I know it is like whenever you have an interview scheduled and you don't feel up for it, so I appreciate you coming along. We'll do half an hour and then I will let you go and I'll finish off with some of the other stories. So thank you so much for jumping on. Thanks for being understanding. It's just one of those, I don't know what it is. It started on Friday, actually, just feeling absolutely knackered. I've been sleeping most of today, to be honest. Well, that's fine. As long as you don't pass it on to me, because I'm away to CPAC on Monday. So thankfully, you know. Oh really? Wow. I'm so jealous. Look, I'll send you the pictures. Don't worry. [1:08] Thanks. Whereabouts in the US do they do it?   In DC. Oh, right. Oh, cool. I remember I went there for a Turning Point USA event in DC. It was the first time that I went there. Absolutely loved it. We went to the White House and we saw Donald Trump and Mike Pence speak in person. It was like this black leadership thing that TPUSA did. It was such a brilliant experience. Unforgettable. Wow. Well, I'm looking forward to meeting the man himself, President Trump over there and all the speakers. So it will be good fun. But I'll send you pictures and next time you, can come over. Yeah, no, one of these one of these days I'm going to CPAC definitely. [1:54] Not that I'm the one that invites people. So it's my first time. So anyway, we'll jump in. You can follow Dominique. There's her handle. Of course, you know her from GB News regularly from Mark Steyn show from Iconic from so many things. And of course, her own podcast, her own live stream on Twitter on Getter on   Now on YouTube. On YouTube. Now on YouTube. I think the handle is the same on YouTube, but I am sort of in the process of building it up. I recently did a interview with Andrew Bridgen MP, and they did particularly well. Let me just see if, do you mind if I share my screen? Of course you can. Just to promote my little thing here. On YouTube.   Yeah. So that... [2:46] Could you bring it up? I think I need to bring it up. There you go. Yeah. Right. Okay. So that is my YouTube. It's at DominiqueTaegon. So the handle is the same. And if you want to watch the Andrew Bridgen interview, it's there. Thank you for letting me do my little promo there. I didn't actually know that a guest could share a screen to thank you've taught me something. Thank you, Dominique. [3:06] Well, I'm quite the seasoned restream user.   You are, I know, I know. But yeah, I love that interview with Andrew Bridgen, really worthwhile watching. If anyone hasn't seen it, I don't know where you've been, but if you haven't seen it, then do make sure and watch that. It is absolutely worthwhile. Let's jump in with the news. We've lots of stories to cover and we'll cover these four major ones. And the first one, I know you you posted this Dominique, if it's going to come up, which is about low traffic neighbourhoods. So the link is in the description on most of them. And this is obviously about low traffic neighbourhoods being promoted as supporting neighbourhood businesses and entrepreneurs. Nothing could be further from the truth. But tell us why the whole issue of 15 minute cities has really caught your eye. [4:02] Well, the whole issue of 15-minute cities for me was quite alarming because when you actually do your research and you look on the people that promote these 15-minute cities, you know, slash low traffic neighborhoods, number one, they have a real issue with the private use of cars. So really, there are various studies done by what I call these psychopaths that do look to limit private car use. How do they do that? By making everyone swap out for electric vehicles, taxing people out of driving, that sort of thing. I mean, we've seen that with the Youles controversy with Sadiq Khan, basically just making it costlier and more difficult for drivers to actually navigate. So that's the number one thing that was quite suspicious. But the biggest thing for me was actually they mentioned COVID as this sort of convenient conduit for people to realize that, you know, actually it's so much more convenient for us to be within 15 minutes of each other. And when you actually look at that outside of their romanticized and falsified version, there are thousands, millions of people that really, really suffered during those unscientific authoritarian psychopathic lockdowns. There are people that lost their businesses, people that committed suicide, people that died at home because they couldn't [5:25] access NHS treatment. So this romanticized idea that it made us realize all of these things, maybe it did for the people that are privileged enough to have been able to enjoy that, who were celebrating working from home, but for the people whose businesses relied on [5:42] society operating normally, that's not quite a rosy picture, is it? So it's no surprise with that article that you referenced, that various studies showed that in terms of customers returning to these businesses. It dropped extremely low. I can't remember specifically, but I think particularly in Oxford, because of all of the basically hoops that these drivers have to get through, and Oxford's a touristy area, so people come from outside of Oxford to come and see it because it's a beautiful place, they're just not doing it anymore. Because what is the point? It's too expensive, there's nowhere to park, and it's basically just hostile towards the revenue that many businesses rely on. And that's the real difficulty. Small businesses do not benefit from 15 minute cities. And I mean the whole thing, congestion charge in London being rolled out, I think it's seven days a week. And that is a massive impact. And where I might think maybe jump in my car and go somewhere, Actually, I don't do that. But Projam, could you bring up the demo that there was a demo, obviously Oxford has been the one that has been pushed. And I just want to bring up this because it's the European Conservative and this is it. [7:00] Thousands protesting in a 50 minute city in Oxford. If you just scroll that down and there were massive, I watched some of the videos and huge groups of people and I was a bit jealous I wasn't able to get there. But it shows there is opposition because sometimes we'll be told don't worry, this is a conspiracy, this is just a small group of those on the right who are angry about this, but actually people are galvanised and opposing this and I saw many of those videos and I thought, wow, this is good, the fight is on, bring it on. Yeah, about 2000 people, probably more, were there, they turned out, they protested, they demonstrated, Antifa turned up calling them fascists, which is just really odd. I mean, Antifa sort of make themselves out to be these like anti-establishment radicals, but really they're just establishment boot lickers in my opinion. And I mean, who are they funded by as well? Because they've been dotted around quite a few demonstrations, you know. So there was the drag queen story hour demonstration at Tate Modern, [8:16] recently they were there and things got heated because of them. But also most interestingly, the protest in Knowsley, you know, about the refugees in the hotels. So Antifa were allegedly there as well. And apparently they actually showed up and that's when things got violent actually. And it's not an uncommon thing in America. They turn up at protests and those protests seemingly always get violent. So interesting. I'd love to know who's dotting them around in the UK because I think it's weird. Yeah, I mean, it could be hope not hate, obviously been one of the organizations who may be linked to that, but you're right, they do pop up and the violence ensues. And I, [8:59] I would love to try and understand what goes on in their, their heads with this low traffic neighbourhood. I mean, the destruction it does to businesses. If you're a local business, if you're a shop that needs people to come in, but no one can actually drive in and park outside for 20 minutes or in the car park for half an hour and pop in. I mean, it destroys your business. A local business, an independent business cannot operate online and they rely on those people and you see the empty streets and it's heart-breaking, especially post-COVID that they can't recover. Yeah. And it's like, I mean, what do these, you know, what do the proponents of these 15-minute cities want? Do they want us all to be just completely reliant on corporations? Do they, they want us to just be completely reliant on these massive chains? Do they want us to all shop at Amazon groceries? Because Amazon has grocery stores around the UK now. That's a really interesting question because all of the lefties that claim to be all anti-capitalism, oh, you know, let's be organic and independent. A lot of the things that they are screaming and shouting for destroy small businesses. [10:09] Yeah. Well, they haven't thought this through. I think that's working out Dominique. There was another story which I know you had posted on this roll down. This is a BBC story today actually saying that seems as though they're backed down. This is original books to be kept in print following criticism. So scroll down Pro Jam, and there was an attempt by the publishers to rewrite many of the books. They had issues with a whole range of the phrases. What they didn't like, female and they didn't like fat, they didn't like ugly, they had a whole list of words. But it looks like common sense has prevailed in this at least. Yeah, you know, that is the wonderful thing because common sense seems to be quite scarce in Britain today, but [11:07] I mean, let's just be honest, there shouldn't even need to be two additions in the first place, in my view, although this is a positive thing. You know, it just makes you think if you are offended by male cloud men and male non gender neutral umpah lumpahs, because these are some of the changes, by the way, guys. So cloud men in James and the Giant Peach are cloud people. Umpa Lumpas in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory are gender neutral. In Matilda, Miss Trunchbull isn't a female, she's a woman. Now I have my suspicions about that because of the new definition of what a woman is. Being a woman can be anyone that puts on a skirt and decides that they are one. But female is a very distinct thing, which is obviously why they've chosen to take it out. Boys and girls aren't allowed in, I think it's the hungry crocodile. Crocodile, it's instead just children. Now the publishers said that they have a duty to protect children from offensive content. What is offensive about a cloud man? What is offensive about male oompa-lumpa? It literally makes no sense. And if you're offended by that, I would suggest, you know, you should probably, take a long hard look in the mirror or alternatively get a grip. But I'm glad that now we can actually vote with our feet and choose what we want to read instead of it being dictated to us by this insular group of people that are clearly very disconnected from reality. [12:37] Yeah, because you can have the the woke section where people who are offended by everything they can shop and then we can have the normal one for the rest of us. [12:45] Normal people to read.   Yeah, the normal section. But I was interested to see the people responding. So, you know, Ricky Gervais, who you'd expect to jump into something and cause some heat. And he jumped in on this. And then Camilla is being kind of lauded as the one who stepped in and told authors to think remain true to your calling. I thought that was a curious intervention by the Royal Family. Yeah, it was a curious thing, positive nonetheless, but I'm not going to be sitting here and being like, oh, yay, you know, all of a sudden we've got an anti-Woke Queen consort and King, because all they do is churn out Wokeism. And perhaps it's because of their offices, you know, their PR offices, they think that if they subscribe to all these mainstream sort of left-wing causes, for example, the King's coronation is apparently all, it's all going to be about refugees and NHS workers and LGBTQ. These, you know, these groups [13:52] on the large part think the monarchy represents something really pernicious and nasty and backward about Britain. So the idea that, you know, he should be pandering so strongly to these groups, I think, is counterintuitive. But nonetheless, it was good to see the Queen consort actually saying something good, rather than something woke. My suspicions, my, I suppose, little theory would be that this intervention was to get people, I think, back on their side that feel a bit alienated by the monarchy as of recent because King Charles, I mean, they obviously know what's being said on Twitter online. They know that King Charles is sort of being looked at as the woke king. So it's a helpful intervention. [14:37] I'd love to know if conversations were had before and already the publishers had agreed and then Camilla comes out and she's treated as a savior. You don't believe anything these days. So I wonder what happened behind the scenes. Yeah. I mean, the press were briefed. I know that. The press were briefed that it was about the Roald Dahl saga. Like it was specifically about that. Although she purposely didn't mention it because obviously they're supposed to be neutral. They did make a point of briefing the press. So make of that what you will. Exactly. Lets.... Drag Queen Story Hour for children, There have been a lot around this issue and it keeps happening. I don't know, can you play that video, Pro Jam, as we have it in the background? But this, again, another one of these... [15:29] [15:37] Okay, well, let's go enough with that. I don't even want to watch that. But this in South East London, it's the whole issue of children engaged in this. I mean, you've spoken about this a number of times, Dominique. Tell us your thoughts on this whole issue, which seems to be springing up more and more. [15:57] Well, you know, drag queens Story Hour imported from the US as a most really bad woke ideas. Been imported from the US, it's spreading like wildfire across the UK. As I mentioned previously, there was that protest outside Tate Modern against the drag queen Ida HD. She was hired to read to kids. Even with this particular drag queen, Ida HD has quite a checkered past when it comes to certain friends that Ida has supported online. For example, there's one called Darren Moore, who died recently, who was a convicted child rapist. He was convicted in 1999 of raping a boy under 16, four counts, and was then convicted in 2011 for breaching his sex offenders order, because he was found to be working with kids as a coach, as a gymnastics coach, I think it was, or a dance coach and Ida very publicly was like my friend, donate to this go fund me so your friend's a sex offender and you're wanting to read to kids that's concerning and anyone that's concerned about that is a far right bigot apparently but in this particular case I was messaged on Twitter [17:17] by a concerned parent basically saying I mean look what's going on in Lewisham it's the at the Honour Oak Pub in Lewisham where that video is from, where you can see a grown man scantily clad, doing the splits in really inappropriate clothing. And when people say, oh, you know, you're just paranoid that this is sexualized. If you go on to the Instagram account, it's been deleted, but there's a video that I did on Instagram actually showing the original post. This drag queen is called Copper Top Queen. [17:51] And in the caption of the Instagram post, it said, wear a mini skirt, they said. It'll be sexy, they said. And as you can see in the video, the drag queen is like hinching up the skirt to do the splits. Why would you need to look sexy at an event involving children? That's red flag number one. It's inappropriate. And the drag queen featured in that video commented on my Instagram post saying, nothing physically harmful happened to the children, you and your far right views. He's been extremely threatening towards other concerned parents with really misogynistic undertones actually, because most people that are talking about this are women, concerned parents with children. And the thing is, is that I think the UK government needs to ban drag queen events involving children. I mean, as far as I'm aware, it's been done in Florida. It needs to be done here. They're inappropriate. And I'm genuinely concerned about the safety of children where these events are concerned. If you look at the picture and the video, the only people laughing and guffawing and having a good time are the parents. The children look utterly confused because they don't know what's going on. [19:02] And they're probably terrified as well, actually. There was another person that commented on my Instagram post, a childhood survivor of sexual assault, that said, this makes me really uncomfortable. It reminded her of grooming. And it is grooming, because what you're trying to do is you're trying to desensitize children to this sort of overtly sexual and suggestive behavior so that they think it's normal. And what happens, because children's brains are literally like sponges. They absorb information and things that they see, and they mimic them and copy them. What happens when you see children acting like that with each other in the playground? It's disgusting. And I think any parent taking their kids to see things like that should be investigated, to be honest, because how on earth you could think that that is appropriate is completely beyond me. There's another baby cabaret group that I've been directed to. It's called Kababarave. So for anyone that's interested. [20:00] I'm gonna be doing a video about this soon called Kebab-a-Rave. That is a baby cabaret, so it's for babies. It's aimed at babies. And some of the images and the videos I've seen have been absolutely disgusting. Stripper gear, half naked women, men with barely any clothes on doing the splits with all of their legs spread, a Santa stripping while babies are there. It's absolutely disgusting and I'm genuinely concerned. I think the government needs to get involved, as do child services, 100%.   You've talked a lot about this and tried to highlight this. You've engaged with commentators, but when you look at politicians and how they respond to me, it's a win-win for any so-called conservative. Any parent will be on their side if they say, look, this is not appropriate. Just come up with that statement. And I don't understand. It's not a difficult issue. It's not something they need to work through or put out a group to find out what parents think. I mean, it's normal. Why do you, I mean, how is it that our politicians don't say, look, there's a line and this is not right for children, maybe right for adults and you can do what you like, children. It's quite easy to win-win. It's easy as pie. And for the so-called conservative party to not be saying something about this. [21:27] And not actually be putting forward legislation, because that's what I want to see. I want to see legislation. If they would have any chance of winning the next election, they need to start talking about things like this, because this isn't just a culture war issue. It's not. This is about a child's safety and a child's sexualization issue by people that think that children need to be exposed to heavily sexualized and suggestive themes and you need to ask the question of why? Why do they want children to be exposed to that? Now I'm not saying all of these people are paedophiles or whatever, although you know it factually has been found that sexual predators have found their way in those organizations 100%. I'm not saying, but the people supporting them, I think a lot of them genuinely do think that this is about acceptance and kindness and inclusion. And it's just not. It's really, really inappropriate. And people like that though, they need to be ignored because they don't know what they're talking about, genuinely. And I'm sick to death of trying to reason with people. Even the people that say, Oh, I mean, pantomime dames. Like, are you thick? How can you compare a pantomime dame fully clothed by the way? [22:44] To a drag queen in literal strip heels and a mini skirt with big fake boobs, gyrating themselves in front of kids. How could you even make that comparison? I know. I know. You're right. I've seen some of the comments and some of the posts you put up and when you try and engage and you can't get anywhere because these people seem to be intent on sexualizing children. [23:06] Yeah, I know. You've got to ask why? Why is that okay with you? There's something not right there. [23:12] Yeah, completely. Let's go on to, we'll do our final story together and this is on the Central Bank digital currency. This is a consultation paper. It was out the 7th of February, but you put it up and I think it's quite important because we certainly haven't referred to this specific paper. Bank of England, the digital pound, a new form of money for households and business? And this is consultation, the Bank of England. I didn't know the Bank of England did their own consultations. I thought that's a whole other area. But it says the Bank of England and HM Treasury publication, and they talk about the way we use money is changing and talking about using a digital pound. I know you've done a number of things on central bank digital currencies. Tell us kind of why you're concerned. Is this not just the way we're moving forward? Tell us why you're concerned on this.   Well, again, I think that argument is interesting about, oh, this is the way things are going now. Because look, the argument has been made. Most of us don't really use cash that much in our day to day lives or transactions. I don't. I use Apple Pay. It's just convenient. But you've also got to ask the question of what is the problem that CBDCs are seeking to be the solution to because we already have the infrastructure in the UK for contactless payments. [24:39] For card payments. That infrastructure has been there. We probably have one of the best infrastructures for these types of payments in the world. So a need for a CBDC is completely different. And the difference is, is that it will be government regulated. So that's, what it is. It's a central bank, central bank digital currency. So banks and by extension our government. I know we say, oh, but you know, the Bank of England is separate. You know, it's separate, but it's not, it's not really. This is like a government controlled currency where they can track all of your transactions. So effectively like sort of the track and trace we saw during the pandemic, they can track all your transactions, see what you're spending money on. And it makes you extremely vulnerable to financial discrimination. So say for example, you've got these psychos talking about, you know, we need to have carbon points. Everyone needs to be attributed a specific number of carbon points. Use too many of your carbon points one day, blocks from making certain transactions. Or if you have participated in a protest that's inconvenient for the government, they can block you from your own money. We saw as much in Canada. You know, remember during the trucker protests. [25:56] And we've sort of seen what the future of CBDC is in places in Asia and Africa. So in Nigeria, there have been riots recently because of a deliberate cash shortage that the Nigerian central bank has triggered. So they've actually had a digital currency since 2021. It's called the eNira. And with this eNira, do you know it's been rejected by about 99% of Nigeria, they've got about 225 million people there and cash is still favored for most transactions. I'm going to have to wipe my nose. One second... She'll be back. [26:54] But this is a, this is a huge issue and, um, from the purpose of... Woo. Oh my gosh. [27:12] Sorry about that. I could just see like shining under my nose. But just to finish off Dominique, because it's the whole issue with digital currency, the whole point of them was about privacy, was about taking control back to the individual, owning your money and not having government control. And this kind of is a perverse way of looking at it. It takes that and throws it on its head and says by the government, we're not going to let you take control of your money. We're going to pull back control. So it's, even when they talk about digital currency, digital currency is about freedom and control for the individual. But this puts it all the way back. Yeah, exactly. the thing you were right with cryptocurrency, is that specifically Bitcoin, is that it can't be tracked and traced in the same way. But our governments have obviously seen that and want to capture it and again, want it to be for some element of control. So in Nigeria, most of them have rejected the CBDC in informal transactions. So do you know what the central bank did? It created a deliberate cash shortage by announcing that all the old Naira notes were invalid and they had like probably a month to cash in all the old notes to receive new ones. So what you found were people queuing all outside of the ATMs, couldn't [28:35] get access to their money, riots. And then recently the bank announced that they were going to be using a new technology to save this eNaira that's basically failed. And I'm worried that that sort of stuff will happen here. But also I think lastly, the most important point with this is that you can't have a CBDC without a digital ID and you can't have a digital ID without a CBDC because it all comes hand in hand. It makes transactions a lot easier, but it also allows the government to track you a lot easier. And that's why we should also be talking about and speaking out against digital ID as well. Because with this sort of thing, you will have no privacy. And for people that say, oh, if you don't commit crime, then it's no problem. That's not the point. What about people that are domestic abuse victims that need cash, for example, to escape. [29:28] Their partners? What about old people who actually don't understand all of this technology? There are some real issues here that really do disadvantage the most vulnerable in our society. And also.. with regards to even the 50 minute cities. What about disabled people as well that actually need to drive and need to use cars to get around? That was something that I meant to say actually as well. Yeah, it takes away all that privacy, puts full control and your right digital ID is very much part of that. Dominique, I've got to let you go. I appreciate you coming along. Thank you so much. Even though you're feeling under the weather, thank you for jumping along and joining us today. Oh, my pleasure. I really enjoyed it. Not at all. I'll carry on and I'll let you go and we'll speak soon. All right. I'd love to be back.   Thanks Dominique.   All right. Thank you. Bye. Bye. [30:17] That was Dominique. Let me, I know what it's like whenever you get called in for interviews and you're just not feeling great and feeling under the weather. And I appreciate her coming along. It's easier to sometimes say, no, I'll give it a miss. But I appreciate her giving her time. But there were some other stories I wanted to touch on. This is one that actually I hadn't put on the list with Dominique, but I think is really important. How's my sound Pro Jam? Is that okay? Give me a thumbs up. He was telling me, yeah, my sound wasn't great. Let me try and pull in some comments on, there are a lot of things, a story today that appeared. But let me try and pull in some comments. Something fell in my room. I don't know what that was. [31:09] Robert McKair, one or two Central American countries have adopted Bitcoin as their currency. Yep. Agra Shed. Who else do we have? Pemshed. Tiffengirl. Who I can pull up. Bockels42 noted NWO and WEF. I couldn't agree more. Do drop your comment. Let me know how you're watching, where you're watching with Dominique on if I can pull in some of those. That would be absolutely wonderful. Yes, let me know Bob Moran you cant fix anything if you keep asking for more government regulation. Yep, completely agree. DTaylor7, Evening All on the beginning, Villan 82, Frankie Boyes, great to have you all on. Thank you so much for being with us. This is the story that came up today and I want to touch on. And I'll spin through the other stories. [32:06] This was a story that had Lord Pearson, who is, I have the privilege of working with Lord Pearson in the House of Lords for the last 12 years. And I've also had the privilege of working with Baroness Cox, who's absolutely wonderful, actually was the Conservative Deputy Speaker in the House of Lords back in the day, now sits as an independent. And this is a secret House of Lords circle showed to have worked with the far right. Email blunder, Sparks inquiry a new issues group collaboration with Islamophobes. That could have been my email blunder, could have been Lord Pearson's, I don't know. But if we scroll down this Pro Jam, I want to pull this because it is a story that is done by, well this is The Guardian, but it's basically been done, yep, it's been done by hope not hate or hate not hope. [32:55] So, a secretive organisation, Accused of Collaborating, it's not really secretive, I've been there for many years, has been operating under the House of Lords for more than a decade. It is more than a decade. The organisation called New Issues Group, it's not an organisation, it's simply groups of people coming together under a name, so it could be easily tagged and identified, includes the former UKIP leader Malcolm Pearson and the Tory former Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords, Baroness Cox. The cache of documents, I don't think there's a cache of documents. [33:29] Acquired by anti-fascist group, pro-fascist group, hate not hope, even suggests that a figure who would become one of the UK's most notorious anti-Muslim activists drafted a question to be asked in the House of Lords by group members. I think they're referring to, who are they referring to? I actually lose track. Maybe Anne Marie Waters are referring to. But it talks about this group, which is supposedly a shadowy group, there's Anne Marie's picture. It's not a shadowy group. It's simply in effect a talking house. It's a group that comes together to discuss some of the issues, especially around Baroness Cox's bill to give Muslim women the protections they don't currently enjoy because if they're married, they're not married under UK law, they're married under Islamic law and they don't get the protections they desperately need and require. That has to change to make sure that a Muslim woman is treated exactly the same [34:29] as any other married woman and her husband does not have the right to divorce you, say that three times and she's divorced with no recompense to anything because she's not married under British law. It's absolute travesty that we have hundreds of thousands of Muslim women have zero rights under British law because their marriage is not recognised under British law and the Baroness has been trying to introduce a bill for over a decade and the government refused to put it in because they don't give a damn about Muslim women who have no rights under British law. [35:04] Let's call it as it is. This was the Sky News one. Westminster accounts. Baroness Cox forced to declare financial interest after a leak revealed links to anti-Islam activists. Baroness Cox has taken funding from an American organization run by evangelical, so by Christians. Sky News have got a problem that Christians have donated money to the Baroness to help and all the great humanitarian work that she does all across the world. Wonderful work the Baroness does and she's one of the most active members of the House of Lords I have seen in my over a decade of having the privilege of working there. So Christian groups, absolutely fine. Anti-gay marriage campaigns, well, you've got every right to stand against marriages, not between one man and one woman, no problem. Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's right. [36:04] She holds regular meetings with prominent critics of Islam. I have had the honour of being in many of those meetings and it is wonderful to spend time with great individuals who served this country so well and continue to serve it well into their 80s and they could put their feet up and they could be sipping cocktails around the pool sometime, but no, they choose to come in and meet with others, work with others and do what is right. And yet, hate not hope are angry at these people who want to give back to Britain. Moving on, I think I'll do a whole piece on that because I was shocked, hate not hope had emailed myself or had emailed Alan. They emailed Lord Pearson, Baroness Cox, many others, finding out what the shadowy group was about, which is simply a collection of individuals, like-minded individuals that want to discuss the issues with radical Islam and the freedoms we have in the West. And when that clash comes together, what happens? And we need to discuss as Lord Pearson has always said, can we talk about Islam? He just simply wants to talk about it. And for wanting to talk about it you get attacked with every label under the sun. Let's move on. [37:32] This story is, this is why I didn't want Dominique to come on YouTube, even though she's got a YouTube channel. I saw actually the YouTube video with John Waters has gone really well. We have to be very careful with videos we put on YouTube. We have to see how we use YouTube properly because it's not a bastion of free speech like GETTR, like rumble on the website, like Twitter is at at the moment. Many others, Truth Social, gab that we use, but not for video stuff. There's so many great platforms available there and we need to know how to use them. But at the moment, we are holding off on YouTube. We need to see how we use that effectively because it is a huge platform, but it's a huge platform that you can't talk about this... New Zealand records biggest increase in registered deaths in 100 years. [38:28] Let me read that to you again. You can see it. Let that sink in. New Zealand records biggest increase in registered deaths in 100 years. This should be the biggest story. Biggest in 100 years? Not COVID. [38:47] Not COVID. Something else is happening. Is it the more or less enforced vaccination of an experimental substance that didn't even go through trials with the vaccine group on Diny and Rachel a couple of weeks ago and they talked about the vaccine control group that is there because we have no data on the unvaxxed. We don't actually have any data because it's not divided up. In fact, Pfizer initially started the trial. So they would monitor those who were un-vaxxed, un-jabbed, un-jabbed, that's not even vaxxer, vaccination, let's set that aside, who were un-jabbed with this experimental chemical, whatever went in their arm, and those who were. So those who received the jab, those who didn't. And after I think it was four months, I can be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong on this. If I remember after four months, they scrapped that and they just jabbed all those who were unjabbed as a control. The opposite of what a control group should be. You can monitor those. They scrapped that and people still think this is safe because it's been through a control group and tested. [40:05] Utter bull shit. It is not. And people need to wake up and see this for what it is. Okay, we'll blast through these. The next one, Projam, even Fox News is now covering vaccine injuries. I think we'll... [40:29] Let's play this. Do you wanna? I've got Dominique still up. Apologies. Pro Jam, do you wanna just play this? Can we play this? As we told angle viewers in February of 2020, and by the way, at the time when he came on the show to the protestations of Anthony Fauci, we could never, ever trust China on this. We turn now to a COVID controversy of a different kind. My next guest, a physician from Roseville, California says that he's treated more than 4,000 COVID patients. And of those, he says hundreds experience vaccine related injuries, including chest pain, cancer, and in women, menstrual irregularity and even pregnancy loss. [41:12] Dr. Michael Huang joins me now. Dr. Huang, thanks for being with us tonight..... [41:17] Right. Well, not you can get the idea. And it's wonderful that, sorry, messing up with graphics, that Fox News are actually covering this at long last. Someone who said they treated 4,000 patients for COVID and hundreds, they're seeing vaccine injuries. Let's take that as 10%, hundreds, let's say 400, 4,000 for sake of a, or let's say 200, 5%. If 5% of people are having injuries due to vaccine, this needs to be stopped immediately and to be analysed and tested and find out what is happening. That would be the right thing to do. That would be the correct thing to do. That would be the safe thing to do. But it's not the financially prudent thing to do for these vaccine companies. Why should they stop it if they're making so much money? And it's a printing press for them. Health, safety, that's not the main issue. Stopping the spread of COVID, that's not the main issue. The main issue is making money and taking a medical emergency and printing as much money as you can for your shareholders as a limited company. That's what it's all about. I know you know that. I know that. Many of us know that. It's up to us to try and get the word out, especially as these companies push to move away from emergency use authorization to full authorization. I saw an application yesterday with could have been Pfizer for one of their updated. [42:47] Jabs and they're moving to get full approval for it. Nothing could be more dangerous although my concern is the damage has already been done through these mRNA jabs fully untested and trialled on children. [43:04] Can't get much more evil than that.   On to the next story. This is looking at terrorism. This is a little survey that those who arrive in the country illegally are asked to do. Now the government have failed to get a grip on our immigration out of control but they're going to do a survey, an English survey, and this is going to fix our problem. So have you ever been involved in crime or terrorism? Yes or no. The fast track questionnaire handed the channel migrants seeking asylum. If we scroll down, so this will attempt to streamline the process, migrants will be granted refugee status on the basis of 10 page questionnaire. Can you believe it? Well, it is true. So let me, I'll read some of this. So this seems to get rid of the massive backlog. The questionnaire asks more than 50 questions in total, such as how they reached the UK. If we scroll down and we have, yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. The questions, no, no, keep picking it up. Yep. Have you ever been involved in war crimes. [44:17] Crimes against humanity or genocide? No, that's only the British government, I think. Maybe Matt Hancock could answer yes for that. Have you ever been involved in terrorist activities? No, I think that was just Tony Blair wasn't it? Have you ever expressed views at justified terrorist violence? Do you have any documents or other evidence to confirm who you are? No, because they got rid of it because that's how they're told to do it. Have you ever been employed by the military? [44:44] How did you get to the UK? They're asking that. Were you subject to human trafficking? How much did the journey to the UK cost? What question now? Please reply your receipts and we'll refund you. I think that's where we're going. Send us your bills and we'll give it all back to you. Don't you worry. Would you like a new house while you're at it? This is a concerted government. Please, any of you who haven't woken up to this who believe a Tory government are the saviours, they are not. They are the enemy. They are the problem and they are not going to fix this mess. This has happened under their watch, under 13 years of supposedly conservative government, conservative in name only. I don't see any political party actually wanting to, actually do anything about this because you need to be polling. Back in my UKIP days, had to be pulling 15% plus to get anywhere and really about 18% to get a slew of seats in the House of Commons. And even if that happens, you're a small party on the back benches, so there's not much you can do.   This last story, I'm not sure if we can bring up, purging of the assassins. A story on the end there, looking at the Conservative Party and how they choose those who will stand. [46:11] And this story goes one way, but I want to take it a slightly different way. And I think we'll finish off on this. Purging of the assassins as local conservative parties pick their next candidates for the next election, many of the 60 or so MPs who knifed Boris are feeling the heat themselves. This is the process that for the next general election, an MP needs to get the vote, the permission to stand as a candidate for their local conservative constituency, local conservative grouping. They can't just do it themselves and just because they're an MP doesn't get them right to stand as a conservative MP in the next election. Strange quirk of British politics. And they have to go with cap in hand and say, please, Conservative Association, please allow us to stand again. And more often than not, of course, the answer is yes. But It can be a way that the local association can punish the MP. And I guess a way of making, keeping that connection between MPs and their constituents, their local party, those on the ground and not just the, the high up part of the concerted party. [47:24] So in theory it's a good idea, but all this is about poor Boris. And it's interesting how some of these people will fare because I am assuming that many conservative associations are angry at how the conservative party have run roughshod over freedoms and civil liberties. They may be angry at how vaccinations were forced on many, the NHS, the health system, many others. It was enforced upon them and they would lose their jobs if they didn't get it. A lot of anger and little Rishi Sunak. Richie, Rishi, Sunak, rich, worth more than the queen or the king, we are on to the king, right? Worth more than the monarchy. First time ever in history that the prime minister has had greater wealth than the sovereign. He doesn't get it. He doesn't get it. And I think a lot of conservative MPs will be punished. I think a lot of them will jump ship before because there's no way they're going to win as a conservative MP when they have destroyed this country in every way imaginable. [48:35] They are the biggest bunch of crooks. Many of them are quite evil, especially with forcing a jab upon people that was never ever ever fully tested, never ever ever tested on children, never went through its trials, But the trials were cancelled after months and yet it was given to people and they were told it was fine. And now all the stories come back and injuries. So many issues and of course people like Andrew Bridgen, the Conservative Party, number 10, they didn't want people like that to stand. Independent minded MPs that will speak up for what they believe is right and not necessarily just fall under what the government say. We'll watch and see what happens. really interesting. [49:25] And I am watching this closely because of course we're all interested in what happens. I think that will be enough for tonight. Let me pull up some of your comments on GETTR if you're watching GETTR. I can't pull the other comments up. My apologies for not being able to pull them all up. Let's go from the bottom up. Okay. [49:54] Bookles, 42, know the WHO, independent candidate of the future, yep, but I don't know what they can achieve with our current electoral system. Pem's head, Tory's aren't Tory. The name Tory goes back a long time actually as a derogatory term, but anyway, we'll knock it into that history. Pem's head, Tory HQ, partially a candidate into my mum's constituency, they've just deselected her. I love it. I love it. The fight back between the grassroots part of the party and the machine at the top. Agshed, not conservative anymore. Nope. Buccos 42, unfortunately, Reform UK or ProJab genocide. That is a big concern. I'll not go deeply into that because we're not about attacking or picking off others, any party who is pro-JAB and criticises Novak Djokovic who wanted to get in Australia and did the right thing to get in and then was attacked by the leader of any political party and mocked and ridiculed. I have no time for.... But that's a whole other issue. James Simmons, there are lots of others, I'll not go into them. [51:10] James Simmons says sexualized children should be a criminal offence, a punishment by the British people. Yep, should be a criminal offence. Anyone who's involved in that should be on the sex offence register and should be jailed up until it can be proved they're no longer a danger to children, no longer want to sexualize children. I think that is about it. [51:30] So thank you for joining. Thank you for watching. Great to have you with us always. It was great fun having Dominique for the first time and hopefully we'll have her back soon. Fit and sound and well and healthy. Next week I'm off to CPAC. We've got some great interviews that we've done in the bag. We'll post those when they come out, Monday, Thursday. And I'll be reporting over there from CPAC. A message from Steve Bannon to say make sure and come to the war room. We'll have you on live. Many others will be there. I'll report there, give you an update as much as I can. Never been there before so first time. I know Nigel is going there. It'll be good to see him. I don't know if any other British folks going over, but I'll try and make a beeline for any others I can find. I'll report as much as I can, take as many interviews and clips with people over there. And I'll be back after CPAC. So thank you for being with us. Thank you for watching on whichever platform you're on and have a good rest of your weekend. We will see you back on Monday with an interview that will tell you about [52:47] closer to the time. So thank you and good night to you all.
