On Thursday 2 May 2024, voters across England and Wales will head to the polls in a major set of local and mayoral elections. The highest-profile contests will be the election of 10 influential metro mayors – including in Greater London and across the north and the midlands. Together these leaders will be responsible for over £25bn of public spending and will play a vital role in shaping the fortunes of the places they represent. Thousands of councillors in over 100 local areas across England are also up for election, with the successful candidates taking responsibility for key public services at a time of acute financial pressures across local government. Voters will also elect 37 police and crime commissioners and the 25 members of the London Assembly. These elections are far more important than just providing a straw in the wind for the general election to come. To discuss why these elections matter and what to expect, the Institute for Government hosted a public event with expert panellists including: Sarah Calkin, Editor of the Local Government Chronicle Sir John Curtice, Professor of Politics at Strathclyde University and Senior Research Fellow at the National Centre for Social Research Akash Paun, Programme Director at the Institute for Government The event was chaired by Emma Norris, Deputy Director at the Institute for Government.

Tomorrow, voters go to the polls for the last set of local elections in this parliament, alongside 11 mayoral elections in England, 37 police and crime commissioner elections in England and Wales plus the London Assembly elections.

The establishment of the mayor of London and the London Assembly in 2000 was a milestone moment for English devolution. With a budget of over £20bn and responsibility for key functions – including transport, policing and economic development – the mayor of London is one of the most powerful and high-profile figures in British politics. The UK government has gone on to devolve powers to other cities and regions across England and in some cases – such as the ‘trailblazer' deals offered to Greater Manchester and the West Midlands – these powers have gone further than London's deal. So is it time to reopen London's own devolution settlement? Is there a case for further devolution to the capital – and if so of which powers? How could the role of the mayor change in the future? And is wider reform of London's institutions also needed? Ahead of the May 2024 mayoral and assembly elections, the Institute for Government – in partnership with OnLondon.co.uk – was pleased to host this event to consider where devolution to London goes next. We were joined by an expert panel, comprised of: Alison Griffin, Chief Executive of London Councils Alexander Jan, Chair of the Central District Alliance and Hatton Garden BIDs Antonia Jennings, Chief Executive of Centre for London Professor Tony Travers, Director of LSE London The event was chaired by Akash Paun, Programme Director for Devolution at the Institute for Government. We would like to thank the Central District Alliance BID, the London Heritage Quarter and Primera for kindly supporting this event.

'Assembly' elections may well be a thing of the past in Wales, but they're front and centre of daily life in the UK's capital city this week. The London Assembly itself struggles to gain the same level of visibility as its Mayor so we're using the opportunity to shine a light on one of the biggest electoral events in the UK and find out more about the campaigns trying to oust Sadiq Khan. With its budget exceeding £20 billion, the mayoralty has powers over housing, transportation, public safety, and economic prosperity and the challenges in many of these areas will be familiar to Welsh listeners, not least the touch point of 20mph zones and other traffic management measures.

Thank you so much for being with us today. (Dr Niall McCrae) Always good to be on on a Saturday evening with you, Peter. What else would you be doing apart from having a one-hour chat with me? Always good fun. So let's play the first one. ChrisDavis33 is first on on GETTR. There you go. No prizes, but good to see you. Anyone else, put your comments and let us know how you're watching, as in where you are in the world. Always good to get an idea. We've got probably a 30%, 30% US, 60% UK and elsewhere. And if you see our nice, do you see the logo? We've just put a half a Stars and Stripes behind our oak and half a Union Jack. So we've tweaked a little bit to represent you, our viewer. But this was a There's a one minute comedy clip that James Wells had put up. I think Steve Kirsch also put it up. So let's play this. (video plays) I regret having gotten the, I really regret having gotten the vaccine. I'm sure it's fine, but I just wish when the state told me to do something, I'd be the sort of person who said no. But it turns out, I'm the sort of person who says, fine, I don't understand, you're telling me it's important, okay, and all they had to do was say, you won't be allowed to go into pubs for like a month, and I was like, put it in me. That's what I'm upset about, is that I had a principle, temporarily. Like, oh, if I was in Nazi Germany, I would have stood up to the regime. I wouldn't stand up to not being able I go to a pub for a month. I would have been like, Anne Frank, she's in that attic. There, I saw her. It doesn't matter what the point of principle was. The point is I would have been a chill. And that, I have to live with that for the rest of my three or four more years before I have a heart attack. Always good to start with a laugh. I think humour is one thing It's probably taken us through the last three years. I don't know about you, but I've certainly enjoyed many of the memes and artists people like Bob Moran, Abi Roberts, I mean tons of people who've helped us all through it. Oh yes, indeed. And a feature of the anti-lockdown rallies was the positivity and, humour and just humanity, really. They were trying to quash us. They were trying to to oppress us and deprive us of our kind of vitality. And it didn't work. And like you say, humour is one of the most powerful things. Definitely didn't work. Let's go to the next story. We might have a slight delay in sound, but let's bring it up. I'll read it and then we'll take it from there. And this is an article by Niall himself. And this is the Conservative Women who are regularly are the only voice on this issue. And they've blazed a trail and speaking truth on this when many others wouldn't. And this piece is towing the party line, MPs answers to the 10 big questions. And in this, I'll just read the first few lines. What do our parliamentary representatives really think about climate change, COVID-19, migrant channel crossings and transgenderism? Two months ago, I presented 10 questions for readers to send to their MPs. By the time of writing, 14 MPs had responded with 11 sets of answers. So you'd put a range of questions down and members of the public have taken those and sent them on to their MPs. And the answers have come back. And I, again, the link to this, if you're watching on, certainly on Rumble, the link will be there in the description. We will certainly be reposting this, if my mod team can hear me, on our social medias. But of course you can find it on Niall's Gab account. Neil, tell us a little bit about this, because what were you expecting? And tell us the response that you got back. Boris Johnson got that huge majority in December 2019, big mandate, and he could potentially have done everything that was pledged in the manifesto. Then COVID-19 came along and, well, you know, whatever you believe about COVID, let's just say that that was certainly a disruptor to the whatever program that Boris Johnson was going to carry out. But if you look at his behaviour, you know, once the sort of urgency of COVID, you know, that first wave, once that settled down, Boris Johnson went straight into this build back better mode, didn't he? Which is all about focusing on climate change. And he was allowing all this, he did nothing really to stop the Black Lives Matter, woke wave in summer 2020. And now that leads me to why we did this 10 questions for MPs. Because when you think about it, Peter, and I'm sure your viewers will be well aware of this, is that almost everything that's being done by those who are leading us are not things that we asked for. None of us asked for mass uncontrolled immigration. None of us asked for net zero. None of us asked for, well, I mean, obviously there was plenty of people that were in support of the COVID regime, but that wasn't part of the manifesto. None of us asked for our teachers in schools to be telling children that they can be whatever gender they want, and this transgenderism ideology. So there's all these things going on. The most prominent things going on in our society that none of us have asked for. So I put together a series of 10 questions for constituents to send to their MPs. And we got responses from just a few. It's just not a scientific survey. We don't know how many MPs were sent the questions, but we got responses from Rishi Sunak, no less, and some of his ministers, mostly Tory MPs. And we, I had this article published on Conservative Women two days ago. Since then, I've had two more responses. So it's just added to it a little bit. So there's an updated version going up on new Conservative website on Monday. But the thing is, Peter, that the sample size would sound very small. So 16 MPs, of which only 13 have actually provided a full set of answers to 10 questions. But what we found, you know, I used to teach research methods in university. And with qualitative research, something you teach is saturation point. Saturation point is where there's no point in carrying on interviewing people, because you're getting the same answers. And we very, very quickly reached what we might call saturation point with our responses to these questions. They are all following the narrative. There is hardly any. I mean, one of the respondents was John Redwood, and he was only one that gave any sign of scepticism about things that were going on, and even then only limited. Look, they're all following the narrative, it's like they're in a parallel universe and you know if anyone wants to look at the response to those, answers given by MPs go on the Conservative Women website where there's a couple of hundred comments from people, you know, just saying, if this is who's leading us, then we really are in trouble. And let me just, just as we finish, the questions are, do you believe there is a climate change? Do you believe that COVID was a deadly pandemic? Do you believe that lockdown was necessary? Do you believe COVID vaccines are safe and effective? So I have to even laugh whenever safe and effective is used now. Do you support billions of pounds of military supplies going to Ukraine? Do you regard the tens of thousands of people crossing the English Channel as refugees? Do you believe it's safe for dozens of undocumented male migrants to be housed in our towns or boats? Do you support teaching of transgender ideology to our children? If you do not agree with any of the above, what are you doing to oppose such a policy? And finally, what is a woman? I mean, it's a beautiful range of questions, Niall. I'd encourage everyone, the article there, toeing the party line on conservative women. Yes, and it's not too late for anyone who's watching tonight, if you want to take those questions and send them to your own GP, MP, sorry. And I'm always willing to update and refresh the results. A couple of interesting things about who answered the questions. So got 16 responses but only 13 actually really answered the questions. Only one of them was female. You know, we have all this much better female representation now, at least in numbers, but the reality is this type of woman who's representing us in Parliament has got little interest in the ordinary wishes of women and girls, for example, to have safe spaces. Their own toilets in a theatre, for example, they don't really care. The type of woman who is in Parliament, they don't care. And I reckon that the question in that survey, what is a woman, that made him think, I'm not going to get into this. Too much for the minefield. Yeah. Well, let's move on to something a little bit different, which is the election. Is this the election, ProJam? No. Let's pull up the election story. Obviously, we've had local elections, and this one was another very good article from Niall McCrae. A pattern here. You have to check out Niall on The Conservative Woman. It just happened these were the first two stories. But on this, empty polling stations, are we still living in a democracy? And Niall, you were pointing out that in many parts of the country the turnout was 30%. Which meant 70%. And I always kind of used, when I was growing up, thinking, well if people don't vote is up to them, it's their problem. But actually, everyone has to participate in the democratic process. If people don't participate, then it's no longer a democratic process. But tell us about your thoughts on this, that people can find on The Conservative Woman. Yes, well, are we living in a democracy when the vast majority of people don't vote? Now, obviously the rebuttal of that is that everyone can vote, you know, it's up to them and if they don't vote that's their own fault. But the trouble is that increasingly, certainly the last three years, people have woken up more and more to the fact that we're run by a uni-party. It doesn't matter whether you've got a Labour government or a Tory government and if we had a Lib Dem government or a Green Party government, we'd still get the same policies. There might be a slightly different flavour and there might be a slightly different presentation, but it would be basically the same thing that's going on. And what we're seeing increasingly, Peter, is that this isn't just something that applies to national government. Up and down the country, you've got councils introducing 15-minute cities and 20-minute neighbourhoods, low traffic schemes, that sort of thing, and they try and make out as if this is just something they've made up themselves, you know, to like make the air healthier and make the, you know, reduce pollution and so on. They're lying to us. This is all Agenda 2030. Right, or Agenda 21, it's basically the same ideas. This is United Nations, this is a globalist, this is a World Economic Forum. It doesn't matter who you've got representing you in your local council, your city chambers, or in Westminster, or in the devolved assemblies in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, it doesn't matter, they're all following the same agenda, as they are in all other developed countries. And people have woken up to this and unfortunately the response is not to all get behind some new party that's going to, overturn this establishment. It's very, very hard to do that. I mean there are some people working very hard such as David Kurten of the Heritage Party, Robin Tilbrook of the English Democrats, for example, and Andrew Bridgen joined Lawrence Fox's reclaimed party. But it is extremely difficult. I mean, we saw that with UKIP. Very, very, very difficult to get. You saw it with the Brexit party. They did very well in the last European elections, but they were not going to get anywhere, not get a single MP in the general election that followed soon after. So it's very, very difficult. And so people are responding to this situation by simply not voting at all, or going and spoiling their paper, saying none of the above, or more choice language than that. And I don't blame people. I don't blame people for feeling that it's futile voting. I wish there was a good party that we could get behind that would readily change things, but there just isn't that at the moment. But as I say, I do admire the people who are trying to change that situation. Can I ask just your thoughts for a minute on that, because I'm the same as you on the side-lines regarding political parties, and I couldn't, I would have difficulty voting at the moment for anyone. And I love what David's done with the Heritage Party. The English Democrats are wonderful in what they're doing. But with Andrew Bridgen speaking at that event I was at today, a name joining reclaim, I'm intrigued by that because he could have stayed as an independent but he's joined a party. Obviously reform were not an option because they've jab, jab, jab. I guess English Democrats could have been an option that's because heritage. But I'm wondering will that, not that that will change the whole landscape of British politics, no. But I think that will be a nudge, quite a big change and what are your thoughts on that? Yes, I've heard people raising this question, why didn't he stay as an independent? What you've got to try and do is put yourself in the shoes of Andrew Bridgen and, you know, David Kurten and I, who, you know, just mentioned a while ago, we've had many chats. David's been a keen student of cultural Marxism for many years. And, you know, one of the books that David and I often talk about is Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals. And, you know, the people that are in charge now are basically the anti-establishment types of the 60s and 70s. And they're now in charge, they've created a new establishment. And one of the rules for radicals is that if there's somebody kicking up some opposition to what you're doing, then you isolate them, you target them, you really freeze your focus on that person, and you make their life utterly intolerable. And that's exactly what was happening with Andrew Bridgen. Has any man been so disproportionately targeted in the last year or so? I mean, we can think of some other examples as well, such as Tommy Robinson or Julian Assange, but at the moment, it's Andrew Bridgen. And so I don't blame him at all for joining a party, a party that stands for free speech, and that he's now a member of a group. He's got people with him to support him. And I think that's important for the establishment to know, that if they do try and isolate people and persecute them, then there are sanctuaries. And that's what I see the Reclaim party as being, you know, Reclaim has got some quite, you know, genuine, really genuine people like Calvin Robinson involved. I've never been quite sure about Lawrence Fox, but he says a lot of the right things. He's doing a lot of the right things, but Martin Daubney was involved as well. So they've got some good people. And I don't blame Andrew Bridgen at all for taking the decision that he did. We'll see a play out in British politics. Let's stay on the Conservative Woman, but we are leaving the authorship of Dr. McCrae. Dr. Ahmed Malik, someone who is new onto my scene, and probably new into many people's scenes. He has written this piece for Conservative Woman, COVID, the Destruction of Medical Ethics and Trust in the Medical Profession, Part 1. It is a fascinating read from a doctor, someone who has qualified 25 years ago and he gave some of his story in this. And he talks about, just starts, when it comes to the last three years, there's a lot I do not know. What I do know is that I have many questions. Was the pandemic a plandemic? It certainly felt like it. Did the virus skip from a lab? What exactly is a virus? What's the role of the US Department of Defence? And he delves into this. And I am thankful to doctors like this for putting their thoughts down so openly and honestly in this article and it gives us an insight into their experience and how they're seeing things because many of us do not have a medical background and therefore we look at things through a simple lens. But Niall, it's people like Dr. Malik actually writing pieces like this and opening it up that will really help us the public. Yeah it's very necessary and you know there's some controversy about Dr. Asseem Malhotra the cardiologist you know because he'd been shilling for the the vaccines early on, but I think we have to give people... The opportunity, the potential, to change their mind. And I think that's what Dr. Malhotra has done. Andrew Bridgen has done that. Ahmed Malik goes a lot further, I think, than Asseem Malhotra. He's questioning the whole basis of the pandemic or pseudo-pandemic, as I see it. This article that you're bringing up is a really useful read because what we've seen over the last three years is a departure from medical ethics. And people may be aware of the white rose people that do the stickers that people put up on lampposts. Many of these stickers are about, if you wondered why the people of Germany fell for the Third Reich, now you know, because all the doctors and nurses in 1930s Germany were on board, you know. And how did that happen? And, you know, partly this was about them just keeping their heads down, but they also enjoyed the pedestal that they were being put on as officers of the regime. And Ahmed Malik has stepped away from that and he has reminded us what are the true ethics of medicine. And they are autonomy, justice, first do no harm. And beneficence, as in that's all doing good. And the first one of them, autonomy, was the one that was most controversially ditched. People were coerced into taking these experimental injections. But the other three principles as well, were just simply no longer followed. And I found this very difficult, Peter, because I sat on an NHS Research Ethics Committee for many years. And these principles were really important that you always stuck to them. Didn't matter how much you thought this research proposal was interesting. If they were going to be doing something which in any way threatened any of these principles, then you would reject the application. And that was for research. Well, this is for the whole of health care, the whole health care system has been poisoning people with Midazolam. Forcing people to take injections, closing down services, stopping screening and treatment of people with cancer. The mental health impact has been immense. It's really quite dreadful and this is still going on. In fact, in many ways, it's getting worse, where it's getting harder and harder for people to get face-to-face contact with practitioners of a service, national health service, that they've been paying for in their taxes and that they've always lauded and now they find that they're not welcome that um, access is often denied and this is really um quite appalling and so to have doctors like Ahmed Malik stepping out and saying this is not right we we need to get back to proper medical ethics as soon as possible. Yeah. Let's actually touch on that, the Andrew Bridgen as well. I don't know if I sent it over to Projam, we'll not play this, I just want to bring up the tweet. And this is, Andrew, the great vax debate that GB News talked about, and obviously, GB News under Ofcom. This is the regulatory body, communication regulatory body, so they can't say anything which goes against government propaganda. And this was basically Spiked, which is a publication here in the UK, and Andrew Bridgen. It was Fraser Myers from Spiked. And it was, I watched the 13 minutes of it and it's... I would have had respect for Spiked if they had put across a different position in this, but they were simply mocking, smearing, calling Andrew Bridgen anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist. And it was rolling out the terms the government use. And I know an organization has asked if they have received money from Pfizer, and then Andrew Bridgen has said it'd be interesting to see what happens in that. But I mean, what are your thoughts on this, Niall? When we see organizations which generally are there for free speech, full free speech, and yet you're not allowed to talk about this because it's dangerous to question the government line. Well, Spiked was my favourite website around 2015 to about 2019. It was actually the first website I wrote for. I met Fraser Myers several times and Brendan O'Neill was my favourite writer. I met him once. I thought these were very, very good people. But, you know, others have said to me, well, wait, just be a little bit cautious with how much you like a website that originated in living Marxism, which was a cultural Marxist organization. And people like Claire Fox, who's now sitting in the House of Lords. And Frank Faridi. You know, these are all people that I've really appreciated over the years. But I think what happened with, and their line on Brexit was very, you know, I thought was very, very good. You know, the way that they defended the working class against the sort of metropolitan elites that was trying to impose and, you know, deny them their, you know, the result of the fair election. But COVID showed that they were not quite what what we, people like me naively thought and they seem to take to lockdown and the COVID vaccine regime like a duck to water. I believe this brought out the, a side of them that, you know, they seem to enjoy this statist coup of the COVID regime. And of course, they've been shilling for the vaccines rather too enthusiastically and knocking anyone who, you know, comes, says anything heretical about vaccine injuries like Andrew Bridgen has done. I think they've lost a lot of trust and I think people are wondering what they're really about and I think we do need to look back to how they originated in living Marxism. They are and probably still are at heart cultural Marxists and I think the editor, you know, people call him Tintin, Tom Slater, I think his name is. Yeah, I think that's where they are. And I think for years that they've been fooling us because they've had things that, you know, I'm sure they genuinely believe that, you know, the working class people are being treated badly by the establishment. I'm sure that they really genuinely were writing on that, they were just pretending that they were on our side on that, but COVID has really badly exposed them. And, you know, they chose to write that hit piece on Andrew Bridgen. Andrew Bridgen wasn't coming out looking to attack them. This was a serious own goal. They've lost loads of followers, loads of subscribers and deservedly so, because, you know, if there's one thing that we've had to learn, it's a hard lesson we've had to learn over the last three years, that some of the institutions, some of the people that we liked, that we respected, we've had to think again about some of that and correspondingly people who perhaps we didn't like, organizations we didn't trust. We thought, well, maybe they had something good after all. It's been a steep learning curve for all of us, I think. Yeah. Who thought it would be shoulder to shoulder with Piers Corbyn. It throws out very strange thoughts. But here's the Daily Mirror. This headline really blew my mind. ProJam, if you can just scroll the headline up a little bit. Brits are dying in their tens of thousands. ProJam, can you scroll it up a little bit? So Brits are, no, we're not going to get, yeah, we are. Brits are dying in their tens of thousands, and we don't really have any idea why. And this is looking at excess deaths between May and December 2020 and talks about 32,000 excess deaths. It's this, yeah again the last three years I never thought I would be reading a headline like this that they are seeing the problem still not connecting the dots but it's getting out there that these excess deaths are there and the question is being asked. It's quite unbelievable they refuse to make the connection but it is a headline that will make people think? Yes, I think so. So the mainstream media are just not going to make that connection, as you say, you know, that you could read numerous articles like this now, all the papers are now covering it, but they simply will not make any link to the vaccine. But, you know, if you think about, you know, there's always been this large number of people, large, you know, maybe 50% of society throughout the COVID years that's been going along with their, you know, believing that the fundamental narrative that there was a deadly virus and they had to wear masks and take the jabs and that sort of thing, but increasingly sort of questioning that over time. And now that it's, you know, no longer in any way an emergency situation, people are asking even more questions from the, you know, because they feel safe to do that now. So when they read an article like this, even though it doesn't mention the vaccine. People will know, they will know from their own friends and family that there are vaccine injuries. And anyone goes on social media now. I mean, Twitter is just ablaze with stuff about the harm being caused by these mRNA injections. So it'd be quite difficult for people not to make that link themselves, even though the mainstream media aren't making it. And one other thing on the deaths, Peter, is I heard today that the NHS stopped reporting, or NHS England, whoever it is, it stopped reporting deaths from blood clots. And I haven't looked into this properly, but that they stopped reporting this back in 2020. Before the vaccine rollout. So they knew this was coming. Yeah. Well, they knew if they'd written, read what Pfizer, Moderna were holding back. I don't know if they had access to that, but yeah. Let's move on. We'll try and fly through our last, we'll do four stories. This is immigration. This is Wet Welby. I know it's not his speeding ticket, which is a whole other story. I'll leave the viewers to work that out. But this is the debate in Parliament on the immigration bill and this is the telegraph. Justin Welby is wrong to condemn illegal immigration bill as morally unacceptable. The Archbishop was told he was wrong. Speaking in the Lord's, the most reverent Justin Welby warned it risks damaging Britain's reputation at home and abroad and he failed to take a long-term strategic view in immigration challenges and blah blah blah. You expect this from him but the government are trying to deal with the problem and all Welby can do is criticize him because I guess he's an open border, everyone should come to the UK, but what were your thoughts on Welby? Well I mentioned cultural Marxism a few moments ago and a strategy of cultural Marxism was a long march through the institutions and of course we can see how almost every major institution in society has been well and truly marched through, not least the Church of England. I sometimes want to ask these people, although I'll never get the chance. And even if I did ask it, I probably wouldn't get a straight answer from them. I'd like to ask Welby... Where would you draw the line? What would be your limit? Because right now, there are pictures of tens of thousands of people in the north of France, who are going to be crossing the Channel and thousands of them are going to come over this summer. This is causing despair, anger. It's causing great economic hardship because these people are costing a hell of a lot of money as well. But it's like the government no longer cares for its own people. The first duty of government is to look after the safety of its own people. And that no longer seems to matter. And Justin Welby doesn't seem to give a moment's thought to these people who he classes as refugees crossing the channel without documents. Some of them will be fleeing justice in their own countries. Some of them will be rapists. Some of them will be paedophiles. Some of them will be murderers. Now, somebody might say to me in response to saying that, how do you know? Well, I don't. But how do you know they're not? Because they're not documented. Yeah and so this is what's being done to British society, and it's not just Britain of course, the same is being done to Ireland. Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is a menace to the British people, as are almost all the leaders of our institutions, most of our politicians, as Michael Jackson says, they don't care about us. Exactly. Well, none of the bishops in the house care about any of us. Moving on to Brexit, and this is great from The Economist, trying to work out why Britain would be successful. Britain's services exports are booming despite Brexit. Why? And they try and look into this to try and understand why Britain is not doing worse. And Projam, can you just scroll down to the two graphs there? No, we're not going to get the graphs. But it's really interesting that obviously the left wing media want to bash Britain, and they can't because the service industry is booming in Britain despite Brexit. Who would have thought it, Niall? Yes, well, this is The Economist, so you would think that this is economic experts, but what I've found over the years, Peter, is that economics is not the sort of science of finance at all. It's a social kind of studies field which is heavily populated by people of particular ideological bent who use this kind of, you know, quite sort of serious sounding title of economist to give more value to what they say. But really, they rarely get anything right at all about finance, do they? I mean, the Economist and the Financial Times have been wrong on just about everything. If you look at the inflation problem at the moment, did the Economist and the Financial Times warn you, dear viewers, about that? Did the Economist and the Financial Times warn you about the global financial crisis in 2007, 2008? No, they didn't have a clue it was coming. Because they're not scientists, they're pseudoscientists. They are just social studies, kind of ideological narrative pushers. And of course, Brexit is something that really went against the narrative. Let's finish off on two gender stories. Let me see if we can bring this up. This is, so this is Starbucks Saks trans worker who accused customer of being transphobic then knocked a phone out of person's hands in confrontation after being misgendered. Let me bring, let me actually bring and play the video. The video, give me one second and I will hear it. There, let me see if I can play this. (video plays) I want to leave that. You're rude. Don't ever call me transphobic. Ever. You do not know me. Never. You do not call me transphobic. Ever. I want to leave that. Hi, get out. You are trespassing now. You are trespassing. Get out. Apparently, we said something that sounds phobic. You actually, actually, you actually. You want some, give me the phone. You want some, give me the phone. Let go of me, give me the phone. I've got plenty of witnesses, give me the phone. I said, let go. And it more or less finishes there. The funny thing is that, obviously, after that went viral, that the individual got sacked for that. But it's this sense of entitlement, Niall, and I guess we have a whole education system where people are going through it and told that they shouldn't be offended. And if they're offended, it's hate. And obviously, whenever you go and buy your coffee, if the person is offended by, I don't know, by a look or a walk or whatever it is. But I guess we'll be seeing more and more of this in our society. Yeah, and my advice to people is, if you get into a situation like that lady got into, don't engage, just walk away. Because that person, however unreasonable they are, they have got the law behind them, the Equality Act, and the whole narrative is in their favour. And so in this case, you know, this person was filmed and found out and the company Starbucks had little option but to sack this person. You know, whatever happened to the customer is always right? But no, it's not worth. And this is why I'd say there's one sort of protest that I would not go to, and that's the drag queen, trans child grooming events, which I think are absolutely abhorrent, but I will not go to a protest because you'll get all these shrill socialist worker types and the police will be on their side and anything you say, potentially you could be apprehended for by the police. So I think just don't engage. You can never be forced to use somebody's pronouns, they try and force you to use their pronouns. No, you can't be forced to use that. Just walk away. Now, it's not every situation, you can just walk away. But just don't get into a confrontation. But also don't feel that you have to accommodate some of this madness because it is madness. I'd say that as a mental health practitioner, what's going on now with this transgenderism is lunacy. But I think that there's a danger in tackling it in a situation like this. Best if possible to just walk away. Yeah, yeah. We'll finish off on the same topic but on freedom of speech, journalistic expression. This is a story in the Telegraph on the National Union of Journalists, who are of course the bastions of free speech and journalism. Fears for free speech after journalist union refuses refuses to defend gender-critical members and it's that Britain's leading journalistic union has rejected calls to defend members who cover trans issues and gender-critical beliefs. The National Union of Journalists was called upon at a meeting to issue a statement supporting members who covered the debate on sex and gender and to condemn abuse that they might receive for discussing gender. A gender-critical viewpoint is just a normal gender, that's just how it is. But they refuse to do it. And I guess it's, we've seen the capitulation of our media anyway over the last three years, but there is an absolute, as you said, I think a fear of the trans lobby. But again, you do expect a union to come and back you. Maybe this is why the Workers' England Union are needed so much. So I'll leave that to you, Niall. Yes, so certainly journalists if you have any concerns about the various woke agendas that are going on that you may profoundly disagree with, this is a clear message from the National Union of Journalists. They are not going to stand up for you. So yes, come and join the Workers of England. There's nothing to stop you joining an independent union that isn't tied to the establishment and to the official narratives like the NUJ is. Alongside that story, Peter, there's a school teacher who's been dismissed for refusing to use a pupil's transgender pronoun. So we really are getting into sort of Maoist cultural revolution kind of atmosphere now. And I reckon that it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. But my hope is that this woke onslaught will eat itself. You know, that they'll cause so many schisms and such conflict with among themselves that they will, that we can just sort of, you know, enjoy the show and get the popcorn, but I think that the heat is going to be turned up quite a lot before we get to the point where we can see it coming to an end. It will come to an end, just like Mao's cultural revolution came to an end in China, but they had something like 12 years of that, and a lot of people died, a lot of people were persecuted during that time and what we've got now is persecution, you know, when people are hounded out of their jobs, prevented from getting any other work, they are, you know, portrayed on the media as being some, you know, diabolical person who everyone has to stay away from. I mean this is like the witch hunt hysteria of the 16th, 17th centuries. Yeah, no, it really is. Well, I think on that, we will finish up. The viewers can obviously, our listeners can find Neil, his handle is there @Dr_Neil_McRae, with two underscores. So it is there on Gab. Do go and make use of Gab, as do we. We post all the videos on Gab. So it is a wonderful social media platform and was free before Musk ever thought of having freedom, supposedly. We'll not even get into that. But Dr. Niall McCrae, thank you as always for joining us. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be on. And sorry about the glitches earlier, but we got there in the end. We always get there at the end, so no problem at all. But I wish our viewers and listeners a wonderful rest of your Saturday, rest of your weekend, whatever you're doing. Have a wonderful time on Sunday. Take some time off your normal work schedule. I say that to me as well as I say to you and on Monday we'll be back with you with Dr Peter McCullough will be with us on Monday evening so tune in for that. And on that, have a wonderful evening and we'll see you Monday.

You're live now. it's quite comfortable in here. I'm sorry. There's lots of right-wing books to read in this room. I'm sorry that I didn't supply you tea and coffee and drinks, but one day we'll have a proper green room to do that. Can I just, there was one comment on the side. Shelley Marlow said, I think she said, oh, Robert Malone. that's just weird, because I've seen people talk about controlled opposition. If that's a controlled opposition was, I wanted. The guy is absolutely genuine. I talked to him and his wife, what they're doing, all the work they've done. They were probably, probably the most genuine people [1:09] that I've met in some of my travels. They were hospitable. They opened up their house to me, they told me to stay as long as I wanted and just a wonderful couple. So don't believe the lies that only some of us are pure and the rest are all. There may be people in this for other reasons, but I think Robert Malone is not one of those. He is absolutely genuine. Anyway, we have enough stories and my sincere apologies for taking so much of Niall's time. You can of course find Niall on gab, that is, and we've taken most of the stories from his Gab account tonight. That said, let's jump in with our first story. It is Hate Not Hope have got a wonderful report. I love Hate Not Hope's annual report on the state of Hate, rhetoric, racism and resentment. It is an absolute honour for us here at Hearts of Oak to be in that. I thank Hate Not Hope so much for mentioning us and for showing us that things were doing well and not doing well and we will get a full page spread next time. That is our goal, a full paid spread in Hate Not Hope. [2:27] But Niall tell us about this because this obviously tries to target those of us sensible ones supposedly on the right. Many people mentioned are absolutely fantastic people. Some of them seem to be some Nazis. It's a whole mix really is. [2:47] Yeah, tell us about Hate Not Hope or this report or kind of what they highlight. Well, I think you could take two approaches to this Hate Not Hope, sorry, it's the other way around, isn't it? Hope Not Hate report.   I always get it mixed up. Yeah, well, of course, it is all about hate, really. These are the most hateful people, the most intolerant, woke Puritans. And I think that the first approach that you can take is just to find it all very amusing and to see it as a badge of honor. I mean, I saw that in the gallery of far-right extremists, there was a rather fetching picture of yourself, Peter. And there were also some other outlets. In fact, most of the outlets I write for [3:45] were in this Hate Not Hope report, including the conservative woman. I mean, Unity News Network, none of this, of course, is justifiable, but you can understand some of their websites are a bit more forthright, but conservative women are much more careful what they say. But also in amongst them was Richard Tice of the Reform Party. And so just as you said a few moments ago, Peter, there is such a crazy mix of people of all anywhere to the right of the spectrum. And I think what the intention [4:32] is here is to by associating Richard Tice with you know some real kind of far-right extremists because there are far-right extremists in that report. I think the intention is to warn people like Richard Tice, GB News, Nigel Farage, and in fact, anyone who follows Richard Tice, Reform Party, Nigel Farage and so on, that they are dabbling in, they're on a slippery slope, really to far right extremism. But I think the second approach is, and I guess what I would [5:24] recommend is a combination of two. The first is to extract some humour from it and to be quite pleased that you've got this free publicity. But the second approach is that that this is actually a dangerous organization. [5:45] They're well-funded by the establishment. This report will be sitting on every MP's desk, and it will have an impact. Now, obviously people in that report will have been well used to being canceled over the last three years or more on social media and other outlets. But that is just a thin end of the wedge. The disinformation industry is really ramping up, and the hate industry is really ramping up. And we see these bills going through Parliament. There's going to be a lot more clamping down on people who are in that report. Well, let's go to another hateful figure and that is Mr. Lineker. And here he is. Pro Jam, can you just scroll down so we get the full.. [6:49] Yep, so scroll down. Scroll down, down, down. Yes, revolt for Lineker. And I don't know if those of you will be watching the match today. I won't because Liverpool lost 1-0 so I'll certainly not be watching them. But they've all walked out. But it's him comparing what the UK government are doing to the Nazis. And this is on immigration. I guess you've no love lost for Mr. Gary Lineker, Neil. [7:20] Well, if you are a fan of Match of the Day on Saturday evenings, I think you'll be going without tonight. I think they've cancelled it, haven't they? And, you know, this is Lineker and Chums holding the viewing public to ransom with their political ideology. I saw Ian Wright defending Gary Lineker when he actually praised the sacking of some other pundits from Match of the Day. He said nothing about Matt Le Tissier. when Matt Le Tissier was, you know, shown the door because of his comments about, I think, footballers collapsing after having the vaccine. So nothing, this isn't really about free speech. These people have got no principles at all. If they did, they would have been speaking out about all the other people that have been cancelled by the BBC over the years. [8:38] No, this is simply that they are part of the, that they follow the same narrative. [8:44] As Gary Lineker. They think that speaking out in favour of refugees, that that's self-promotion. And I wish Gary Lineker, when he talks about these people coming across the English channel as the most vulnerable people in society, I wish that he would consider the vulnerability, of girls and young women who live in the proximity of these hotels that are putting up these undocumented male migrants who shouldn't be in the country. And isn't it funny how the likes of Gary Lineker were so anti-Brexit, so pro-EU. These people have fled from the EU. You know, that might be, that's not where they've come from originally, but that is a country that they have been so desperate to escape from, France and the European Union. So it doesn't sound like Gary has got much of an opinion of rights and compassion in the European Union, does it? Why don't we send them all back to the EU and send Gary Lineker [10:10] on the same ship, yeah? Because the British public is getting more and more resentful of these [10:20] rich, smug, arrogant celebrities, cocking a snoop at ordinary people whose lives are genuinely, being affected in all kinds of adverse ways by these migrants being dispersed all around the country. People have had weddings cancelled, hotels have sacked their staff, and these migrants are on the streets and we know what's going on in Britain and Ireland at the moment. We know what's been going on with the abuse of young girls, and that's not necessarily refugees that were doing that, but it was, you know, again, perpetrators were the sorts of people that Gary would call the victims, or the vulnerable people. You know, people that actually sexually abuse our daughters, and Gary Lineker calls them vulnerable. [11:24] Oh, exactly. Yeah. Well, now we've paid half a billion to the French to look after it. I'm sure everything will be fixed, but that's a whole other issue which we won't touch on. Projam, can you bring up the next one on China announces, China announces lockdown plans for the flu as Washington Post tells Americans to prepare for the same. And it is this, let me break this story here. That is the, the daily sceptic, which is becoming better and better. And Toby Young seems to be becoming more and more red-pilled, which is interesting. But yeah, they're all seemingly getting ready and Washington Post had the same for Americans. It seems to be their preparedness for something that's incoming Niall. Well, of course, I mean, COVID-19 was a trial run, I think, for what's coming next. [12:21] I don't fully agree with your comment about daily sceptic becoming, [12:30] You know, there's that podcast that Toby Young does for James Dellingpole called London Calling and people say they're either on Team Toby or Team James. I think Toby is a long, long way from Team James. He still believes in the cock-up theory rather than the conspiracy theory that James believes in. But yes, there is some very good stuff on Daily Sceptic. And it's a brilliant library, if you like, of everything that's gone on over the last three years. If you want to search for any information about COVID, then Daily Sceptic is such a fantastic resource. But this particular piece, Washington Post supporting the idea of future lockdowns, and they're not even saying that this would be for a deadly new pathogen necessarily. It could just be that there's a bad strain of flu. So no lessons have been learned. But of course, this isn't about learning lessons. The Washington Post and the whole [13:52] COVID-19 regime, they knew that lockdowns don't stop an airborne respiratory virus any more than masks are a prevention. They know all this, but it's because lockdowns allow them to take huge strides forward with their project. And if you think back to 2020, just how much was done in that short space of time. For example, 5G aerials was put up all around the country during that time when you weren't really allowed out of your house.   Yeah, no, completely, completely. Let's go to Russell Brand. Pro Jam, can you bring up the next one? I once admired Russell Brand. This is weird because I've gone the other way. I once hated Russell Brand. I thought he was just a sex-crazed junkie. I don't know whether he is or not, but this is The Guardian. Obviously they once admired Russell Brand, but his grim trajectory shows us where politics is heading. Interesting how I've got opposite thoughts about it. But yeah, he's obviously gained a lot of popularity. I've got some questions around it but a lot of stuff he puts out is is bang on the money. What are your thoughts? Well, I would say to all viewers that, [15:22] you know, usually it'd be like extracting your own teeth reading Guardian comment articles. But this one is so bad that it's good. Believe me, it's well worth a read. And there's too much to unpack in the time that we've got. But Russell Brand has really gone a long way in George Monbiot's perspective from where he should be. But actually, I think Russell Brand hasn't changed as much as the Guardian and George Monbiot have changed. I mean, they've moved ever further away from thinking about what ordinary people want, to pushing this totalitarian net zero technocracy. [16:21] And Russell Brand, he speaks to a young audience, people who like freedom, that hasn't changed. I think he was always speaking to a fairly sort of liberal, I mean, okay, in the past, he was probably more woke than he is now. And like you like you say, I can watch Russell Brand now when I couldn't really before. But really, George Monbiot's article is just such good fun to read. I mean, everything that's going on in the world that we know is wrong. The central digital currency, the lockdowns, the COVID vaccines and denial of the injuries, digital surveillance, the Dutch farmers, all these sorts of things. According to George Monbiot, they are conspiracy theories that Russell Brand is dabbling in. So what you see in this article is just one long dribble of denial [17:37] by George Monbiot of what's really going on. And George Monbiot is also saying that he's very worried about the way politics is going. And that's interesting to the likes of you and me, Peter, isn't it? Because, you know, we wouldn't be human if we didn't get pessimistic about things. But it's interesting to hear George Monbiot, the way that he, you know, reading the tea leaves, if you like, he sees things getting a lot worse for his side. And just very recently, three weeks ago, I think, I was at Oxford for a rally against the road closures for net zero by Oxford City Council against the wishes of the local residents. And it was a massive turn up. People came around from all over the country, 10 to 20,000 there. And George Monbiot lives in Oxford and he was seething with rage at what he saw that day. It was terrible for him. This was his home city. [18:42] And it was all these conspiracy theorists had come from near or far. So he's quite a worried man, is George Monbiot.   I'm glad you brought some joy to him. It's always good to bring joy to the the Guardianistas help them out in their struggle against reality. Let's move on to a piece you wrote. Let me just mention once again, guncat5.com. Go there. As I said, part of the parallel economy. And they haven't paid me a cent for this. I just enjoyed being with them. Go and you can sign up to their newsletter. And also if you want to get merch, I would encourage you to do that. [19:23] Over here, this is an article that you've put together, Neil, on Country Square magazine. If you can scroll down Pro Jam, it's a really interesting article, See you soon, the showroom's polite warning. It's about sustainability and I guess if the industry actually were green in any way, they would promote cars that last longer than a three-year warranty. That's kind of the overview. about this article Neil?   Yeah well I think there's two messages here. One is that you know we are opposing this new normal that the globalists want to impose on us but I think the last three years of Covid has shown, you know, certainly someone like myself who wasn't really very alert to what was going on until Covid. [20:20] It shows us that the old normal wasn't very good either. There were lots of things going wrong, and some of that was things that are creeping towards where we've got now. But this article is more about the corporate consumerism and how products are deliberately made not to last. And and it's been going on for a long time, but it's got steadily worse as, you know. [20:52] Computer tested components are made to last a very precise lifetime. And, you know, this started sort of infamously with planned obsolescence in the American motor industry in the 1950s, where they changed the model every year. And then they started putting on more more ridiculous wings and tail fins on the car. And incidentally, the editor of Country Squire has chosen what often comes up on an internet search. If you search Country Squire, you don't get the magazine top on Google, you get this American car called the Country Squire. And that's in the picture there is a Ford Country Squire from the late 1960s. Perhaps he could have chosen one with with the fins and wings from the late fifties. But anyway, the other point though, which is what you're touched on already, is that we have all these greenies lecturing us, hectoring us about the need for sustainability. Well, why aren't they [22:06] doing something about this corporate scam, because it is a scam, really. They could make products last for a lot longer than they do. And instead, things are lasting less and less time than ever. So we need to keep replacing them. We need to keep getting new stuff, mostly from China. You know, it has shipped all the way from China, made in sweatshops. I mean, this is not sustainability. So why aren't the so-called environmentalists making more of this, rather than trying to police every single aspect of yours and my lives? [22:50] Exactly. Exactly. Let's move on to Twitter. Projam, can you bring up the haters and conspiracy theorists back on Twitter? This is something the BBC had been working on and I'm not sure exactly why they had been working on it. It does seem as though they have a special unit. But this talks about the haters and conspiracy theorists back on Twitter and it's written by the disinformation team. I thought all the BBC was the disinformation team but obviously only part of it is the disinformation team. But they go and they talk all different people complain about Andrew Tate, complain about those who say that, stop the stealing, about saying the election was stolen in 2020. Mike Lindell talk about Robert Malone. And yeah, what were your thoughts? That disinformation, not really struck me. [23:51] It's interesting how the with the Gary Lineker story we mentioned earlier that there are all these people according to social media today who are cancelling their TV license because of Gary Lineker being kind of temporarily suspended from match of the day for his Nazi comments. I think that's just a cover up for the fact that the BBC is losing more and more people all the time. And I think some of those people are cancelling their TV license because of the latest nonsense from Gary Lineker. I was on a train home yesterday, I just heard three ladies who were in their 50s, ordinary sort of women and they were saying [24:46] Why does the BBC have people like him saying such nonsense? They're probably the people that will still carry on paying the license anyway, but hopefully UK based viewers [25:01] on Hearts of Oak, if you haven't cancelled your TV license already, you really need to do it. You don't need the BBC. The BBC hates you. This is the thing. It's got this disinformation T All these people on good salaries paid for by your TV license. You are paying to be spied on and attacked by these people. And I saw that article a few days ago, Peter, and as you say, it's written by the disinformation team. If you go to the bottom of the article, you'll see there's about 10 or 12 names. And the article itself is really flimsy. I mean, you or I, Peter, could write such a piece in about 10 minutes flat. It's really flimsy. It mentions Andrew Tate, and that's about all. And yet all these people are being paid to produce this guff. So please, anyone that's still paying, just cancel it. You don't need the BBC. And the BBC doesn't need you either, because unfortunately, the money that they're losing, from hundreds of thousands of people leaving the TV license fee. [26:25] The government's quite willing to pay instead, just like they're paying for the newspapers, because authoritarian regimes love media, don't they? That's how they get their message across. So the BBC isn't gonna die, But why should you pay? [26:42] Why should you pay to have this constant barrage of anti-conservative, anti-traditional, They really don't like the ordinary British people much at all. [27:01] Yeah, no completely. We will move on this here, which was from your gab and it's telegraph, which obviously is often difficult to get because it's behind a paywall. This kind of connects with the Oxford thing. Someone said on the chat, HW Logan said, did the protest in Oxford help at all? Well, it's about applying pressure. All these things are applying pressure. It's never just a one off. But this is ULEZ cameras. Is the ultra-low emission zone, vandalized amid backlash against zone expansion. And there's a camera, you can see cut, the cable's cut, and you can see the front, not on that, the fronts are kind of blacked out. And yeah, it's a fight back against this control, isn't it Neil? Yeah, and obviously I'm not going to incite crime on the show tonight, but I think my only comment on this, Peter, would be to quote from Thomas Jefferson. [28:13] 'When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty' [28:24] Very interesting. It's interesting how technology is used and that control has been used in different ways throughout the centuries, but now it's more insidious and invasive. Let's move on to, let me bring this is, what is our next? Our next is Civil War at the New York Times. A daily sceptic once again, who I think would be worse off without them, but they could be a lot better. I agree completely with your thoughts earlier. [29:01] I was giving some slack to Toby Young who I think deserves criticism and praise in equal measure. But this is civil war at the New York Times. This is the clash they talk about between the older liberal veterans, or how it's termed here, and its younger woke staff over the coverage of the trans issue. [29:28] I wonder whether it's that. I don't think every young person wants to chop off bits of children and sexually abuse them in that way. So I think that's probably over-egging it, that split. But it's I guess good to see the liberal media, the established media, the mainstream media actually up in arms with themselves over these issues. Well, sometimes people can be quite flabbergasted by this woke momentum that doesn't seem to stop. You know, you get these stories every now and again, oh, they've gone too far this time. But no, they keep going because there isn't any real strong and meaningful resistance to them, either from the ordinary people or from the establishment. And for the latter, that's because the establishment likes what these young woke warriors are doing. They're pushing [30:41] the narrative. Look at the way, not just in Britain, but in other Western countries as well, you get these Antifa protesters coming up to counter freedom rallies, for example. [30:59] Their opponents are always accused of racism and homophobia and all that sort of thing. And the establishment just loves this because here is dissent against the establishment narrative [31:17] being countered by, and often such as when there's a drag queen protest outside a library, for example, that there are more antifa counter protesters and a few brave people who dare to turn up for the protest itself. So what I think you've got going on here, Peter, is a supposedly liberal left newspaper, The New York Times, getting in a generational struggle. The older writers, as you put it, who are more genuinely liberal, okay, they might have got fallen for all the COVID authoritarianism, but they still believe some of their kind of, liberal kind of outlook. Whereas the younger journalists and staff at the New York Times, they are like the Red Guards of Mao's China. You know, they're totally uncompromising and they are extremely shrill advocates of all these [32:39] extreme causes like transgenderism. And it's interesting to see what happens with someone like someone like JK Rowling, who has been completely sort of persona non grata now. And this is what goes on in workplaces as well. This is not just the New York Times, this goes on in universities up and down the country, not just in America, in Britain as well. In Britain, [33:11] universities, older, genuinely academic, enlightenment-infused lecturers and professors are skating on thin ice now because of this Red Guard-like, woke revolution that's going on. And the administrators, the senior administrators of principals and so on, they don't stand up for their staff. They say they want to support these courses. Look what universities did with Black Lives Matter, for example. They just took over the whole university for a couple of weeks back in 2020. And they're fully, completely, totally in support of transgender ideology. So who's going to win that battle in New York Times? I think it's fairly obvious, I think they'll just get, you know, they'll ease out some of their as some of some of their leading journalists have already left. [34:21] But they will be eased out, leaving an ever more woke staff behind. No, completely. [34:31] I see. Sorry, I can see some of the comments as well from DLive. There's Kryptonite Dude on DLive. You can obviously watch on any of the platforms. If it's Rumble, if it's DLive, if it's Twitch, if it's on Twitter or on GETTR, on Rumble or directly on the website. Great having you with us. Obviously Niall McCrae is not for YouTube. So we keep more. We do do the, I think on Monday we'll do YouTube to discuss on CPAC. So that should be safe. I don't think CPAC has been cancelled by YouTube as yet, but you never know. We'll see. This is about the pro-life issue, well it's the free speech issue really. And Pro Jam if you can just scroll up, a British pro-life advocate again arrested for thought crime of silent prayer near abortion clinic. [35:25] This is the second time she's been arrested and actually the bill, this is under existing legislation, but the bill has passed through parliament, I think it was a couple of days ago and it passed through parliament which will now make it illegal to go within 150 metres of any abortion clinic if you do anything to oppose it, including silent prayer. Some MPs tried to get an amendment through that would remove prayer but no, it was kicked out. So the conservative government, Labour, all of them, they want to make prayer illegal. But the second time this woman, even after being acquitted, what are your thoughts on this Niall? [36:08] Well, you know, I could probably go on for half an hour on this, but I think I would prefer just to say the outstanding point about this incident, and it really is a profound point, is that thought crime literally is a thing now. So this woman's private thoughts in the form of prayer. [36:45] Completely unseen to anyone, but known only to herself, is now criminalized. And what an amazing achievement that is of the authoritarian state, that you can now be arrested for praying. I don't think the large numbers of Muslim men praying in the street in some towns and cities in the UK, I don't think they've got much to worry about. But you see, another just very quick point is that isn't it amazing how much protection abortion is being given? And it's almost become like Holocaust denial. You know, if you deny the right to abortion, and not just, you know, most people, my guess is that most of the ordinary British public would accept abortion within a certain time period, you know, 20 weeks, 24 weeks, which is what we've got at the moment. [38:03] But they wouldn't accept it to right, most people I don't think would want that right up to the point of birth or even beyond as some extreme advocates of abortion are calling for. But again, it's something that people feel very scared to resist such is the outrage [38:27] that you get for saying anything critical. Of course, if you're a man, you're not allowed to say, talk about abortion at all, aren't you? You'd have to do a temporary transition to females, so you could say a few words about it. Yeah, it's just quite stunning how successful that the establishment has been in making abortion totally out of bounds for criticism. Yeah, I would actually go as far as I like the heartbeat legislation in the States. You feel someone's pulse and you know they're alive. So that's about six weeks. That's what I would roll it back to. So I would be a full-on extremist. But can I just again repeat, this is happening under a so-called Conservative government. This is the Tories that want to make prayer illegal. Let me repeat that. This is the Conservative government that if you go and vote for the the Conservative government, if you vote for Labour, if you vote for Green, if you vote for Libs, they all want to make prayer illegal. So choose how you vote. That's what I would say. Yes. I'm glad you said that, Peter. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves and others that these things are happening under a Conservative government. And what the Conservatives hope [39:53] is that come the next election, people will think, well, it's bad enough under us. [39:59] But think how bad it's going to be under Labour. That's how they hope people will think, you know, better the devil you know. Now, I've got just a very quick self-promotion here. I've got an article coming out on Unity News Network tomorrow, which is a letter to MPs. So we've got an election that would be next year at latest. So probably it's going to be 2024. And before an election is called, I think people should be writing to their MPs, asking them where they stand on all these issues, which are the big issues of the time, none of which are in manifestos apart from the climate crap. But all this, the COVID stuff, the digital surveillance, you know, the cashless society, the transgender teaching to primary school children, none of these things were voted for. And I think that we deserve to know where our MPs, whether it's Labour, SNP, Tory, whatever they are. We need to be asking them where they stand on the biggest issues of our time, because the biggest issues of our time were not in large, mainly they were not in any party's manifesto. [41:26] Yeah, not completely.   So, sorry, just to say that the article, it includes a letter that people can send, and I think it'd be really good if people from, you know, everywhere in the country, if you're living in the UK, if you send this letter to your MP, and the answers will be interesting. It doesn't matter if they just use all kind of obfuscation or avoid the questions. That itself is interesting, but it's also interesting if they send you a splurge of woke justifications for these policies. Yeah. Will that be available on your GAB Neil? [42:03] Yes, I'll put it out on GAB and it will also be on the Unity News Network website. Yeah. Okay, wonderful. We will certainly repost that and put it out. Hold our politicians to account as they think they can get away with, well, literally murder, So anything they like. Last two stories will go to this lovely man who should be number one in a Nuremberg trial but I don't think that will ever happen. But Hancock wanted to frighten the pants off the public with new COVID strain leaked messages suggest. I'm really interested Niall with this whole thing. Obviously it was Isabelle Oakeshott, the other half, maybe the more evil half of Richard Tice, I would say. And she got these privately and then released them. That shows how despicable she is. Obviously, you can't trust her with a thing. But I'm just wondering whether they want to make Hancock the fall guy so the rest of them can walk away. What are your thoughts on all this stuff? I agree with your comment that the fall guy in the UK is Matt Hancock. And the fall guy in America is Anthony Fauci with two different stories. [43:24] But they're both part of the same controlled release valve, the sort of revisionism on the the COVID narrative, because they have to move on. I think the globalists need to move on from COVID now. They can't keep this lingering forever. They've got big plans, and many things are going on behind the scenes. But it seems that they want to move on from it now. And that's happening with two big stories that are going on. In the Britain, we've had these WhatsApp messages, which were privately shown to Isabel Oakeshott, the journalist, but she said it was in the public interest for them to be published. [44:19] I'm very suspicious, I'm afraid, of this whole thing. Listen to Isabel Oakeshott's view on Midazolam because you know many people have been saying okay you're exposing this about Matt Hancock about you know wanting to scare the pants off people but what about what about Midazolam and she says oh that's not story there's nothing in that and and that you know that that makes me very suspicious. I'll be quite frank, I could be totally wrong and I doubt if she, if Isabelle Oakeshott is going to sue me for this, but I would say she's working for the other side. I really do believe that. And the other story which is going on is the lab leak. Now, there's three views about COVID-19 as a virus, right? One is that to believe the official narrative that it came from some bat soup in a wet market in Wuhan. You know, that was the official story, wasn't it? Zoonotic transmission to some, you know, unhygienic food market. The other story, [45:45] the second one is that this must have come from a leak, accidental or deliberate, from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. What a coincidence that this lab is in the same city where this unprecedented, deadly coronavirus arose from. And for a while, I believed that story. I believed that this must have come from the lab. But then I came to the conclusion, and I know that most sceptics are not fully on board on the same boat as me on this, but I came to the conclusion that the whole [46:29] COVID-19 phenomenon is a hoax. And that's why you can't be on YouTube, of course. Oh yes. I know you too well Niall. It is a hoax. And I think one of the best people to listen to on this is Patrick Henningsen, of UK Column. And if you look at the show he did yesterday, which you know, you can go back and replay it, and the one he did the Friday before where he lays out very clearly the argument that there never has been an isolated virus. The whole thing is a scam with PCR [47:16] test fraud. Anthony Fauci is a fall guy in America because he was involved in the funding of this laboratory in Wuhan through the National Institutes of Health. Now he's being accused of funding this dangerous gain of function virus. And people want him to be prosecuted, like Fox News and many Republican politicians and right wing commentators in America calling for Fauci to be prosecuted and for the Chinese government to pay reparations. I don't agree with that. I believe that this is a much more serious crime, which is that this whole thing was a hoax. And one day, one day in the future, people will eventually find that out. But at the moment, it's only a very small minority of really deeply cynical people like myself that have come to that conclusion. I'm on the rabbit hole looking down. I'm trying to work out. I know it's interesting having the conversations with Dr. Malone about this specific thing. [48:32] I'm still above the rabbit hole where I know you're further down. Let's finish off with what happens when you do speak the truth. This is the absolutely legendary Mark Steyn. I say legendary because I remember following him 10 years ago whenever he was discussing Islam and the clash that we have in the West between Islam and our freedoms, and now he's taken on the role of legend and folklore through a completely separate, threat, and that is obviously on Covid. And here are telegraph misrepresenters of ruling against Mark Steyn. Well of course they do, sure they hate him. And they would like us all to be locked away and jammed. That's all the media right and left. But he obviously has had to leave. So, it's good, I guess, that this is coming out. Niall shows us the difficulty, I guess, of being a journalist in a mainstream organization. Even like GB News, it seems to be their massive restrictions under the Ofcom control? [49:45] The Daily Telegraph around about 10 to 15 years ago did this big splash about expenses, MPs claiming expenses and it was kind of epitomized by that rich old Tory grandee that bought a duck house on the lake in his private mansion. Do you remember that?   I remember.   And so this is a telegraph doing the same thing again where it is apparently doing something anti-establishment government. And so stunning and brave is the Telegraph, publishing those WhatsApp messages of Isabell Oakeshott, showing all of this scandalous activity going on in government. [50:55] And yet, the real story, which is the terrible harm that's been caused to people by these experimental genetic engineering injections, that they were coerced into taking and causing all kinds of problems, including death, [51:19] and the Telegraph has got nothing to say about that at all. And indeed, when this Ofcom ruling [51:27] was made, you know, total hypocritical ruling by Ofcom, but there we go, the Telegraph went out of its way to misreport it. This isn't just a mistake by the Telegraph. This is a message that it wanted people to know that anyone who criticizes the vaccines will be in trouble. And the Telegraph of course, like all the newspapers, they get vast amounts of money from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. And, you know, journalists wages are paid by the government these days. So it's a very interesting illustration of just how bought the newspapers are. What should have been, you know, if things were working properly in the media, they should have been, journalists should have been dancing up and down with glee at having this big story of a journalist free speech being suppressed by an organ of the state. But sadly, we don't live in those times, we live in the times where the Telegraph, the Guardian, the Times and the Mail are themselves [52:50] organs of the state.   Yeah, they should all be on that Nuremberg trial. Neil, thank you so much for coming on. I really appreciate you giving your thoughts and there's Nanny Annie says, Thanks Niall, great show. I agree with everything you've said. So it's always good to have you on. Thank you. [53:10] Thank you, Peter. And goodbye to all the viewers. Thank you. Let me, actually, let me, sorry, there's one other, I just wanted to leave the viewers with a smile. It's always good. Here was Bob Moran's latest, which I did think was genius as always. Thanks for making us a vaccine. We made you a play swing. Beautiful. Let me, yeah, that's, we made you a play swing, went great. Make sure and share Bob Moran. Make sure and share everything he puts up. Make him known far and wide, everywhere you can. Make sure and share that. [53:52] I just also wanted to just remind the viewers about, I've really got into Babylon Bee recently. I heard Seth Dillon speak at an event I was at a month ago, but I've kind of glanced at it. Here are some of the pieces on the front news if you go on their news thing. Man who's already purchased product just wants the ads to stop. Tucker Carlson obtains 40,000 unseen hours of Biden falling down Air Force One stairs. [54:22] Mario arrested for hate crime after leaving skid marks on Rainbow Road. But it was one I just want to leave you with to go and have a look at and it was page five and it is this. Obviously this is all satire just in case you missed that. This is shocking study shows more kids identifying as members of world's most celebrated popular group and it just says a shocking Gallup poll has revealed that a rapidly increasing number of kids in Gen Z are now identifying as members of the world's most celebrated popular group. We're absolutely stunned by this says sociologist Dr. Veg Bergman. We can't begin to explain why young, impressionable kids who are desperate for popularity and affirmation are suddenly choosing to become members of the most popular and affirmed group in human history. Every single movie, TV show, corporation, TikTok influencer, YouTuber, public school teacher, pop star and Hollywood star in the country openly promote and celebrate this group. Why on earth would teenagers want to be part of it? [55:25] It must be biology. And it goes on. Absolutely phenomenal how they use satire so powerfully [55:33] to mock and ridicule and give you a smile. So make sure and do go to Babylon Bee. I really got into it just a couple of days ago when I was in the States and someone sent me one and I read it, the whole article for the first time, I thought this isn't just good, this is genius. So obviously, Yeah, and there's also the Pacific, which is a piss take of Atlantic monthly. [56:00] And another Twitter account that some of you might have seen is clownworldtoday. And I've often said to people, if you want to know what's going on in the world over the last three years, look at just go on clownworldtoday Twitter.   Yeah, no, I agree. I love it. I love it. I really do. Let me just say, do go, please do go when you finish, go to guncat5.com, go sign up the newsletter. [56:33] They've got a phenomenal team there of true conservatives who are making sure people are protected in the States and something that we can't do here. But anyway, that's a whole other issue. On that, I will say bye. We'll let you all go. We've kept you here for an hour. Let you go and enjoy your favourite beverage or whatever you wish to do for the rest of today. Have a great weekend. Good Sunday. I will see you on Monday with Karen Siegemund, unpacking CPAC. That'll be live at 8. So you can come on and give us your thoughts. We'll pull in comments during the show. I will even risk YouTube. There you go. Can't do better than that. On that, thank you so much and we'll see you Monday. So thank you and goodbye.

Labour's London mayor Sadiq Khan is being accused by the Conservatives of making false statements about the expansion of the capital's pollution charge zone for vehicles. The Conservatives released documents which they claim prove Mr Khan and his deputy, Seb Dance, made “untrue and dishonest” comments in telling the London Assembly they had not been briefed in advance on the interim results of a consultation into extending the ultra low emission zone (Ulez). --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/talktv/support

Kemi Badenoch is the MP for Saffron Walden and a minister in Michael Gove's Levelling Up department. On entering parliament in 2017, Kemi was quickly pegged as one of the Conservative Party's rising stars and an example of what she calls the “British Dream”, going from immigrant to parliamentarian in the space of one generation. After a career as a software engineer, she made her move into politics as a Conservative member of the London Assembly. Then beat Theresa May's own special advisor to the ballot of Saffron Walden.  On the podcast, Kemi talks about her childhood in Nigeria and the golden ticket that was her UK passport, hacking Harriet Harman and how her conservative views were formed.
