Raise your hand if you feel really represented in our Colorado state legislature. Yeah, that's what I thought. Hey, it's Ross, and I have no confidence that the people under the Golden Dome are routinely doing what's best for me and you, for our families and neighbors and friends and colleagues, because our system for choosing and electing candidates isn't functioning to benefit us, it's functioning to benefit the system. But there's something we can do about it, and it's called Proposition 131. Prop 131 will let all voters choose among all candidates regardless of party for the state legislature, Congress, and most statewide races except president, with the top four going on to the general election. It gives us more options as voters, and importantly, it keeps party bosses from sticking us with bad options. And as someone who wants to have true choices, I have to say that I'm even more confident in my support for Prop 131, knowing that the party bosses on both sides don't like it. It takes power away from them, gives it to you and me where it belongs. For a better government, vote yes on Prop 131. Paid for by yes on 131 on cloth registered agent. (upbeat music) - Good afternoon. Today is Monday, the 4th of November, 2024, just after one o'clock. Welcome to UK Column News. I'm your host, Brian Garish. Delighted to be joined today by Alex Thompson from the Netherlands and Ben Rubin, who will be joining us from London. Well, my goodness, lots of things happening in the world. The bloodshed carries on, of course, in Ukraine and the Middle East. And it appears that no Western country wants to talk peace, it's only for more war. And we've got some very interesting elections coming up in the United States. But we're seeing interesting things unfold in the UK. So Ben, welcome to the news today. I think you've got a little bit on the Conservative party. - Indeed, Brian, Alex, great to be here. So the British Conservative Party, the party of Churchill, the party of Thatcher, the party of (indistinct) - Leader. Olukemi, Olufanto, Adigoki, Badenok. Kami Badenok. And obviously, given this is 2024, former Tory cabinet ministers are using it as an opportunity to score points in the cheap identity politics game that has replaced our political discourse. Here we can see James Cleverley taunting the Labour Party about how male, pale, and stale they are when compared to the illustrious melanated femininity of his new boss, the new Tory leader. Not to be outdone, we saw Labour's Dawn Butler, who I've been speaking about a lot recently, compared Badenok to the blackface of white supremacy, which is quite a remarkable statement. Make that make sense, I don't think you can. And also getting in on the act, we saw Lord Simon Willy, a Labour peer, remarkably stepping in to take personal responsibility for the elevation of the new Tory leader. He is saying that I feel the Operation Black vote that he founded can again take some credit. Now who is Kimmy Badenok? Well, she's a Nigerian woman. She tells us that, she said that herself. And one does have to ask at this point, what is the Conservative Party conserving exactly? More importantly, the party is now led by someone else with an extraordinarily close and troubling tie to the world economic forum. Here she is looking quite awkward, I think, actually, stood in front of the World Economic Forum logo at Davos in 2023 in a formal capacity as a Conservative Minister at the time. Now, what do we know about the World Economic Forum? Well, they're very proud of penetrating the cabinets and shadow cabinets of nation states. Klaus Schwab here very proudly talking about his ability to penetrate the cabinets. And that means, unfortunately, that we still have no serious political opposition in this country. There's no serious opposition to the global policy agenda being put forward by every part of the international system that we talk about on a weekly basis, including the unprecedented assault on British farmers that we saw last week, which was spoken about on the news over the past few days, which was beautifully described on Twitter by Morgoth, who said that modern leftists are so retarded, they see taxes on farmers as sticking it to the money delete and not merely a ploy to break them, so the actual money delete can take their land. Money delete like this man, Bill Gates, who is a close friend and collaborator with Klaus Schwab. We see Bill Gates here just two weeks ago in Downing Street with Keir Starmer with a Ukraine flag, interestingly, prominently positioned between them. This stuff is not done accidentally, and we know that Ukraine is the testbed for the new digital global governance model that's being rolled out by the World Economic Forum. And we also know that Bill Gates is the biggest farmland owner in the US, no doubt with ambitions to be the same in the UK. The New York Post here telling us the real reason why Bill Gates is now the US is the biggest farmland owner. I don't think 'cause he's a nice guy and he wants to keep us well fed and well nourished, and there's not gonna be any opposition to this because Starmer's on-side and no doubt, Kenny Badenock will be too. - Ben, thanks very much for that. I think I'd just like to say to our audience, the UK column is pushing and pushing for people to see through the national politics and to look at the power base that is driving policy and people in UK within our political structure. But of course, this is happening throughout nation states in Europe. And we've also got the same sort of power base operating through the US. So the important thing is to focus on where policies are coming from and who's driving it rather than the immediate effects of the policy. And we're gonna keep pushing this to encourage as many people as possible to look behind the curtains as it were and see who's really pulling the strings. Alex, let's bring you in because we can mention Bill Gates in reference to his links to British politics or of course, American politics. But we can also have a look at his effect in Europe. Welcome. - Thank you, greetings, gentlemen, and greetings viewers. I think I will just hand over to Ben in a moment because he has a video of players before we talk about Bill Gates and my segment. But as we've just been mentioning the juvenileity, melaninity, and femininity of the new leader of his Majesty's loyal opposition, I wonder whether we can get the name better pronounced than most of the media. It should be Badner with a silent E. And I'm just waiting for the continentals to start calling her Madam bad enough. But anyway, I will just briefly defer to Ben because I think he had something else to play for us before my second. - No, you're okay, Alex. That video will appear a little bit later in the news. So Bill Gates showed unique arrogance in the Dutch court case that most of our viewers will have heard of. We covered it in expert time recently once. This court case is what the Dutch call a Boden-Proceduda roughly translated as a trial on the merits. And it goes to a court of first instance, a rec band, in this case, for the Northern Netherlands. And you'll find all the show notes links for these various documents. But here isn't a good auto translation or I think human translation actually of the most recent finding in mid-August from that court in the Dutch province of Preisland or Frisier, which is it not as sensational as it seems to be. The case named Gates and one other non-Dutch resident namely Albert Boerla, CEO of Pfizer, among a slew of Dutch officials and politicians as having been culpable for deliberately inflicting harm on the Dutch population through the COVID-Jabs. And so they're taking this case as a tort under Dutch civil law, which incidentally hangs on just one article of the Dutch civil code. I think book one article 62 from memory. And the Dutch because they don't have common law have to hang the whole of tort law when you've been wronged without a contract on this one article. But be that as it may, the court has in its preliminary hearing found that Gates is not immune and outside the jurisdiction of the Netherlands. They have applied here because the Frisians up north, this is a master move by the lawyers moving this case on behalf of seven named jab victims. They knew that the courts in the north of the Netherlands are pretty independent minded people. And the courts rigorously applied the EU's agreement called Brussels 1 BIS to determine whether you can sue Bill Gates or anyone else who doesn't live in the Netherlands from the Netherlands. And they found that he did, because of the presence of an anchor defendant at the top of the list of respondents defendants, it would be if it was criminal, but these are respondents. And the chap at the top of the list lives in Frisia or Freesland. And that is a doctor of medical background called Mr Nodhugstra, I forget the exact name, but a similar name to that, who coordinated the Dutch government's medical response to COVID to some extent. So he's dismissively said, "Unlike Mr. Borla, oh, you don't have standing to try me. I don't have anything to do with Dutch justice." And they have said, "Well, because Mr. Gates, unlike even Borla, didn't Dane to send a note back explaining his position, the others all asked for extra time to send their legal briefs in to defend themselves. Gates has got legal fees to pay. So that's the first bloody note that he gets here. And we see that this has been signed mid-October by the fear or the clerk of the court. I must stress that as things go up the Dutch justice system, as in the other country, the transfers have been gobbled increasingly are prominent, are present, but knowing the Frisians, as I do, I think that you couldn't have found more independent minded people. And a lot of our viewers tend to think common law, hooray, continental law, yabu. And I understand the reasons for that. But you have to look at the individual context. There is some hope in my judgment at this stage that this might go places and that at least it might flush out some of Bill Gates's arrogance in the matter and causing to be more evasive and wrong footing, perhaps, to some extent. And here, and this will be in the show note links as well, the foundation, the NGO, as it were, which is moving this matter into the very sharp minded lawyers in the Northern Netherlands has put together an expanding collection of court documents. These are good auto translations. If you go to the website, which I should display to you now, which is recht.recht.online/incident-gates, that will be in the show notes too. And if you go to the bottom left-hand corner with that yellow and white translate button, you will find where the American flag is and English translation of the document, as things evolve. The show notes will also contain write-ups in Dutch and English, and the Dutch ones will be run through an auto translate by Kenya's puts the show notes together for you to follow what's going on here. One of the things that the lawyers moving this matter on behalf of the seven representative of his jab victims have pointed out is that the Dutch government is trying to put this in the corner of rhetoric and how dangerous that we have people questioning the narrative in these days. But look, things are going on. There is such a thing as uvabico, which apparently stands for Europe vaccinated beyond COVID, or there is some other wording to that. And Brian, I know we have to keep this segment pretty short, but you might, as I put this on screen, like to zoom in on the method in that second paragraph there under the project heading. What method can you see here that the people involved in this multi-year member state initiative keep people jabbed with genetic modification products? What method are they using to reach consensus? - Well, happy to help you out there because it's the Delphi panel method, which of course is something that we started to talk about. Again, I think it was a couple of weeks ago, Alex, but previously, going back to the earliest days, over 10 years ago, the UK column was warning about government's use of Delphi techniques in order to take a group of individuals and get them to produce the outcome that the government or the agency wanted in the first place. - And the point is that Jabbism, COVIDianism or post-COVIDianism is going native in Europe. We know that Borla has sent withheld text messages to Uzzar Fondalayan, who's now tying herself over to head a second term at the European Commission. We don't know the outcome of that. It remains to be seen whether Bill Gates gets slapped on the wrist by a notoriously or notably independent-minded Dutch judge or whether that gets put into the long grass as it goes up the chain. But here you see that several EU member states not evolving the Netherlands in this case have actually, or rather than a previous item, you saw that they are continuing to insist that people go for modification injections as the standard response to any health crises that may be declared. And now on screen, we see Cassian't Max article on sub-stack detailing. And we have had hints of this before, but this is right up at an opportune moment. We knew that this was rumbling along, but it seems to be contested more now, that when the Dutch government was required under freedom of information and interest of research legislation to disclose its vaccine harms database, the CIMS database, which is the master database with the medical issues arising from jobs in the Netherlands into Asia, they deleted just getting on for a million vaccination records in a country of fewer than 20 million people. Okay, some of them are double jab people, but a significant proportion of the population removing them on the basis that you don't want to know about these people because after they got jabbed, they died or they emigrated. So clearly there's nothing to see there. This is causing a political stink now that the Dutch cabinet has changed. And just in a few second whoosh over what's happening next door in Germany, we see here that NOZ reports that one sixth of the Germans, an extrapolated figure from a good poll, have said that they have side effects after a COVID jab, that is written up in English by this excellent blog, Defuckle 2.0. You can read about that with added amplification by Epimetheus there. You can also see that the Eastern somewhat conservative state of Saxony, where the AFB is polling high and may end up running the state house at some point is going to have a parliamentary committee of inquiry over COVID, which some central European countries nearly next door, including Slovakia and to some extent Hungary, have already said they want to. So there may be a belt of European states and subnational jurisdictions, including even the Netherlands now, that say we actually do want to find out what happened with COVID gabs. And they may get quite a long way before the executive and the new world order at that level and squash them. If people want to know what's happening while we're on Germany on CJ Hopkins, who was put on trial for, we now know it was for insufficiently clarifying that he was being ironic when he said that the German COVID response and states were nowadays were like the Nazis. The daily skeptic has got a very good 40 minute interview, which will be in the show notes. And we'll just put in a couple of things by Eugipius, who's always worth suggesting to people. One is that the Vice Chancellor, the equivalent of Deputy Prime Minister at federal level, Harbeck wants a comprehensive internet censorship programme to stop people disagreeing with him. And the other by Eugipius is that by the end of the year, there may be a motion moved in the Buddhist act to ban alternative effort of Deutschland, so that less of this pesky spirit is demonstrated in public. - Alex, thank you very much, fascinating. Same sort of policies appearing in Germany or Holland or America. So this is globalist policy that we're watching and of course they don't want people reporting on what they're doing. So continue calls for clamp down on free speech and alternative new media sources. Well, I just want to, what do I want to say? Thank you to a UK column viewer for pointing this little document out to me. Clearly they've been watching Ben's reports, but this is Demos. It's called plugging the black hole, reforming inheritance tax to unlock revenue and build public sector support. So we're just going to highlight here that the reality is that Keir Stormer, the Labour Party, are not producing policy. It's being produced behind the scenes and Demos, of course, or the Fabians, are key drivers of that policy. This is just a fraction of the detail in this particular Demos document, but you could say, well, it's purely a coincidence that Demos says it's been working on this and then hey, presto, it becomes Keir Stormer's Labour policy. But if we go further into the document, it says this report is part of Demos's multi-year unlocking inheritance programs supported by ABR-DN financial fairness trust. Well, if you don't know who that trust is, you're talking about the former standard life. And so we've got the big corporation interests, the big money men working with Demos and clearly they've been working over a number of years to help drive the policy, which by pure coincidence has now come in through the Labour Party. Now, the other thing I got over the weekend was an Institute of Government email. This is just part of it. So the weekend's papers will be packed with insider accounts of the budget and deep dives into the Chancellor's decisions. So the Institute of Government tries to make out that if you read their articles, this is all policy that's come out of the government. But of course, we've just seen better. I decided to have a look at the lady that put her signature to the email and it's Dr. Hannah White. She's the Director of the Institute of Government. And she had this to say about her own Institute in just over a decade. The Institute for Government has built an unrivaled reputation for rigorous, independent research and expert analysis, repeatedly proving the importance of its mission to make government more effective. Well, I'm gonna suggest that's not what they're trying to do. They're trying to do something else. We'll come on to that. In these challenging times, our mission is more essential than ever. And I look forward to leading our fantastic team in making government work better for everyone. Well, the clue is when you go and have a look at her because she's involved as trustee of the public engagement charity involved. Sorry, that's disappeared off the bottom of your screen a little bit there, but you can see it. And when I went to have a look at involved, the first person I looked at was one of the trustees, Andrew Cave, and what did I spot that drew my attention? Well, he's an independent director at the Sortician Foundation. And he's working to adopt citizens assemblies. And Ben, I can see you laughing. So I'll just bring you back on screen for the audience. This is all purely a coincidence. I just happened to have stumbled on what these people are really doing, which is changing politics. What do you think? - I think that in the UK, and also in the US, that there is a deliberate attempt right now to break the traditional political discourse and the political institutions that have been built up over centuries and to replace them with something new and Sortician citizens assemblies are the methods through which that's gonna be attempted. - Yeah, I absolutely agree with you. And we will stay on the case. UK column will stay on the place on the case. Let's get back to involved. The next place I always go is funding, but this one really caught my attention. Let's have a look at who funded us in 2022-23, income over 5,000 pounds. And it looks very small. So I'll help you out and bring it up on screen because it's the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. And they've plowed in over half a million pounds for the people's plan for nature. Let's just highlight that 'cause the text will be a little bit smaller for people to see, so it's 549,011 pounds, all to do with the people's plan for nature. And this is the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds. If we go on through, who else have we got? Well, we got the old favorites, Open Society Foundation, Esmee Fairburn, Gulbenkian, people need to pay attention to that little group for them for the future, Joseph Roundtree and the Royal Society of the Arts. And if we go on a little bit more, I was also amazed to see that Deven County Council was in the mix somewhere with 146,940 pounds, which was tied into the Deven Climate Assembly. This is where you can see the growth of non-traditional governance bases. So we're talking citizens assemblies, nobody's asked for them, but they're being created. And if I just bring this one back on screen, probably from Mike Robinson, really, because this is the people's plan for nature. It says, add your voice to the people's plan. The people have spoken. Now, everyone needs to act together. We can make this plan too big to ignore. Well, of course, nobody's been consulted, but apparently you've all spoken. I'm not sure when you did it, perhaps you'd like to tell us. But the clue is down here, because who have we got, the Wildlife Fund, working in partnership with the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds and the National Trust? And Alex, I'll just ask you to respond on this one. It's been very interesting, but over a number of years, I've been hearing from more and more people that they think the National Trust has drifted away from its original objectives of preserving interesting historic property and land in the UK. And actually, they've become a very powerful tool of the globalist movement, particularly as far as the environment's concerned. Do you think that's a bit harsh? - No, I don't think it's harsh at all, Brian, because it's becoming obvious through the seepage of talking points from NGO world, think tank world. What should we say? The Tax Exam Foundation's talking points into politics and the legacy press, the access media, we now call them. It's becoming obvious from that, that there's this big talking point being pushed now, that land is the source of wealth, and land is how you get people by the shortened curlers, to be frank. The National Trust from personal friends in Bedford, she's going back 30 years, was going woke. We didn't have that turned back in the 1980s, but even then, they were doing things to volunteers and even their paid staff that were getting in the direction of wokeness. And now they do seem to think they have a bullet, bully pulpit, as usual, Scotland leads the pack here. And you see, if you read the Scottish press in the last few days, they're talking about a land tax there, and they're openly saying, including the cheerleaders in the access media or legacy press, that this is great, because land is the greatest source of untapped wealth in a nation. That doesn't mean getting wealth in for the public funds, of course, that means dangling people's own wealth against them and to levering their own legacy and heritage against themselves. - Yeah, Alex, thank you very much for that. And just to end the segment, I can resist popping this up. It's the BBC News reporting that the royal estates receive millions from public bodies and charities. Well, I think we've all known that, but let's just remember the good old duchy of Cornwall in the background there. If you don't know what that's about, it's a private estate established in 1337, which funds the public charitable and private activities of the Prince of Wales and his family. So originally the King, of course, it's now moved on to the Prince of Wales, but what are we talking about? We're talking about very powerful estate, millions and millions of pounds coming in, but it also appears with strong connections through to the World Economic Forum and the National Trust. We'll have to talk about that more of another occasion, but I think it all brings us back to our look at the Green King. Now, if you like what the UK column is doing, we do need your financial support. Without money coming in, we cannot run the column, and more importantly, we cannot expand. So have a look online. You can always make a donation to us. You can take out a membership or an annual membership. We're particularly keen to receive more of those. And as some people do, they become a lifetime member. So have a look online. You can also buy in a shop to help us. And of course, one of the things that people are very keen on are the health products through our association with Clive DeKalle. So that is that. Please share the information. We're putting out a lot of interviews, for example, plus articles. You have the opportunity to share these and make comments as a member. And I'll just say that tomorrow at one o'clock, we've got an interview where I was speaking to a lady. This is some months ago. She'd come over from New Zealand, but is talking about the horrors that are going on in the political and COVID realms in New Zealand. And this Thursday, an interesting interview with Justin Walker on the subject of a Treasury letter. This is the start of, I think, something very big, because the Treasury doesn't want to respond properly. But there we are. If you like what we're doing, support is financially without that financial support. We cannot keep the UK column going. Ben, let's bring you back in. And I think you're going to kick off with a video. A new health crisis for us all to be terrified about, and its name is Climate Change. Let's find out more. Increasingly, climate change is harming people's health. You could say it's the largest health emergency of our time, and I do need to be ready to help tackle this challenge. Having climate and health training as part of our curriculum will equip us with their knowledge and skills to both prevent and respond to health impacts of climate change. That's why we're establishing the European network on climate and health education, to increase teaching on this critical subject in medical schools, across Europe, and beyond. This network will enhance our ability to collaborate and share best practices across universities. This new European network expands the reach of the global consortium on climate and health education, deepening cross-continental collaboration and strengthening academic training in Europe. Today's health care professionals are increasingly on the front line of climate change. That's why health leaders from across the public and private sectors are coming together to support this transformative new network. This new collaboration will help train the next generation of medics with the skills they need to treat the health impacts of climate change and deliver more sustainable health care. Through this network, we will ensure there's greater education on this critical topic. Right now, many universities across the world don't teach about the health impacts of climate change. This leaves a gap in our knowledge and readiness to help patients. I'm inspired to see that this is changing. So that was the European network on climate and health education. It's a new body that has been set up to embed climate into the heart of medical education across Europe. Absolutely amazing what they're doing here. So the message was delivered as we saw by these three young women. And I think this is quite telling, actually. I'm just going to do a little bit of analysis of the video because I think it's quite interesting to look into how this stuff is communicated to us. And the first thing that really jumped out at me is that none of the future medics are European. They're not native Europeans. We've got non-native women, very young women, delivering this message to us. So we've got Maha Alotham, Esther Nagoi, and Samaya Arfan, who are being presented as the future clinicians. That's a very, very specific subset here being used to deliver this message to us. And by the way, ladies, this isn't a criticism of you. I think you've been tricked into participating in a propaganda exercise, not least by your professors. So we've got this guy in McGinnis, the University of Glasgow. We've got Francesco Svelto from the University of Pavia. Claudia Tradle-Hoffman from the University of Augsburg. So these are all European institutions. And this is a European network. But actually, it seems like it's an international network as well. So this is Cecilia Sorenson from Columbia, which is in New York. And you can also see that there is the UN-SDG iconography in the background. So this is about delivering the sustainable development goals, as much as it is about protecting people's health. Now, it's also a money-making operation. Let's be really honest about this. So who else have we got in the picture? Paul Hubson, who's the chief executive of Sanofi. Dame Emma Warmzley at GSK, talking about health leaders needing to come together to fight climate change. We're all on the front line of climate change now. We've got Pascal Sorio, the CEO of AstraZeneca, training the next generation. So this is the pharmaceutical industry, training the next generation of clinicians, ultimately to deliver pharmaceuticals into the arms, into the bodies of patients. And let's not forget that Pascal Sorio's AstraZeneca managed to kill nearly 1,000 people with its COVID vaccine. And he got knighted because of that, or maybe in spite of that, or maybe both of those things, I'm not sure. And that actually gives us a bit of a clue, I think, about who's behind this whole caper. Because lurking in the background, amongst all of these universities, we can see the Sustainable Markets Initiative terracotta, which means this whole thing is being coordinated under the auspices of the king. OK, Ben, it's all becoming a bit obvious once you know where to look. And I'll just challenge some members of our chat box, opposed to our wide audience, because people watch the subject areas and they pick up that these organizations and people are talking nonsense in its rubbish. No, no, no, what these people are doing, unbelievably dangerous, and we have to take it very seriously and call it out as serious. If you dismiss it as rubbish and nonsense, people don't pick up that these are the bodies and people driving the global policies that are now doing the damage. Let's move on to the subject of war, and what better place to go than the propaganda machine of the UK Ministry of Defence, which is called Defence Intelligence. And I'm just giving an example here, if we pick up about what they're saying at the moment, they are still claiming that the Russians are not really doing anything on the battlefield. They can't really advance, they're unable to consolidate. They've picked Chassiv Yar, which is one area of the front where the Russians have actually been quiet, reasonably quiet, for some time, but that's because they have been hammering other parts of the front where they're certainly not being quiet. But the little post said from mid-July 2024 until recently, Russian forces have been unable to cross the canal due to extensive defences measures taken by the Ukrainian armed forces. This is twisting the facts of what's happening on the ground, and essentially the UK Ministry of Defence is deceiving the British public by a mission. Now, apologies, I didn't label this graph. I got it through a social media source, which I absolutely trust. This is talking about Russia's net weekly territorial gains in Ukraine. And if you look at the last week on the graph, we've got 200 square kilometres taken, but according to the Ministry of Defence in UK, the Russians are barely moving on the ground. So the reality is, of course, that in many places, particularly in the Donbas, Ukrainian defences are starting to collapse, and as they retreat, the Russians can take more ground. So Russia is clearly advancing, and we can find accurate reports. This is Reuters here. Russia takes two Ukrainian towns as it advances at a faster pace in a year. Now, the town in that picture, I believe, is Ugludar, which was a very highly fortified city area in Ukraine. So high-rise buildings on a very flat plain. Very difficult to take. The Russians did try and attack it, failed subsequently. They simply bypassed it, bypassed it, and moved on. And of course, Ugludar is now in the dust of the Russian advance. But let's have a little look at what the UK Ministry of Defence has been up to recently. We've got a video clip here. Today, Britain and Germany have signed a landmark defence agreement that will boost security across Europe and NATO at a time of rising threats. It's the most important agreement we've signed in generations. It will create a change in our armed forces, bringing them closer together and making them stronger. The agreement is also going to support our economies and defence industries. Together, we're going to strengthen their defences and develop new, long-range strike systems. We'll ensure our forces are interconnected and start working to produce drones that can operate alongside our tanks, our planes, our warships. We will cooperate in anti-submarine warfare capabilities with German planes, operating episodically from the UK. Together, we will strengthen NATO's eastern flag, which is very important to me personally as well. Our armies will train and exercise together, and we will prove the things we all need, logistics, supplies, et cetera. And we'll step up our support to Ukraine. We'll do that for as long as it takes. Together, we will ensure Ukraine prevails. Because, together, we are stronger. Well, a very telling video clip of viewers don't really understand why. It's because all the things they are saying are admissions of weaknesses as a result of what they've seen the Russians do in the war with Ukraine. So, at the moment, we don't have munitions and weapons stocks. Those all have been exhausted. We don't have the types of missile systems and the hypersonic missile systems that the Russians are using. Far from being stronger together, NATO has been revealed as a shambles that is unable to produce a coordinated reaction in support of Ukraine. We don't have a functioning defense industry, neither do the Germans. And what we've got here is, apparently, the UK and Germany coming together in order to try and rectify an absolutely disastrous situation. If we have a look at the document itself, which is mentioned on the Twitter post, there by the Ministry of Defense, it's got this landmark UK-German defense agreement. But I'm just going to pull this out, because this says it all. They are very excited, because Rhine Metal, so this has nothing to do with British industry. This is a German company. We'll see the UK manufacture artillery gun barrels for the first time in 10 years. This is unbelievably pathetic, because, of course, what the whole thing is, is a mission that UK's defense is in a perilous state, the same with Germany. We cannot even manufacture gun barrels without having the Germans come in and bring a family. It's quite incredible. Let's have another look at a little video clip from the UK Ministry of Defense. We know these are serious times. War in Europe conflict in the Middle East, growing Russian aggression and increasing threats elsewhere. And as this world becomes more dangerous, we will rely more heavily on the professionalism and courage of our armed forces. And it is against this backdrop that the government is committed to renewing the nation's contract with those who serve. We've already been able to announce the largest pay increase for our forces in over 20 years. And I am the first defense secretary who can stand in this house and say, everyone in uniform in the UK armed forces will be paid now at least the national minimum wage. And it's why we've announced in our first King speech, legislation to introduce an independent armed forces commissioner to improve service life for those service personnel and their families. - Well, the truth is, of course, we can't recruit sufficient numbers of young people to form an effective military backbone in the UK. This is well known, it's highly publicized. But this defense secretary is congratulating himself because we can just manage to pay the people who do serve a minimum wage. This is such an insult, but it just shows that whilst Britain's military capability has been utterly destroyed and hollowed out from the inside, we've got the defense secretary crowing that he's putting it back together again with the Germans because now we're actually going to be able to produce some gun barrels. We will discuss this more in extra time. We're a bit shorter time in the news, but if you're a paid up member with UK column, join us for extra and we'll talk more on this. But let's just move on a bit more to the subject of money. Ministry of Defense was pushing forward this HM Treasury tweet here, which says that we're confirming 2.26 billion in UK support for Ukraine from profits of Russian assets. So let's put some comment in here. Basically, 15 billion in total going into Ukraine, but we've got no money for the UK, but we're happy to steal money from the Russians to help prolong the war in Ukraine as long as it's Ukrainians, and of course, Russians that die. Here's the Ministry of Defense and it's back on the subject of those nasty Russians, but this time they're reporting that the Russian investigative committee, sorry, that according to the Russian investigative committee, General Major Alexander O'Globlin has been arrested, and it goes on to talk about corruption and almost horror that the Russians are arresting people for corruption. It's all those nasty Russians. This goes on to say the second arrest demonstrates that Russian authorities continue to, quote, enthusiastically pursue corruption charges against serving and former defense officials. And it says that this behavior is fundamental to the functioning of the Russian regime. Well, shock horror, the Russians are investigating corruption, and ultimately they're putting people in prison. Let's remember Debbie Evans' report from UK Column News on Friday, where she was talking out that we in UK now have to have a COVID corruption czar to get back what is owed to the British people, i.e. what has been stolen from the British people in bent contracts. And the figures were truly astounding. Debbie was talking about the £1 trillion pond of contracts that have gone out in with regard to COVID. And basically, the statistic was that £30.7 billion had been handed out, glad handed out in Little Brown envelopes, presumably, for contracts without any form of competition. So sheer hypocrisy from UK at the moment, as a finger is pointed at what's happening with the Russians. And then the other big boast was that we're doing something to interfere with the Russian actors that are using disinformation. And UK got very excited because they've exposed the social design agency, and they're accusing it of trying to incite anti-Ukraine protests across Europe. Well, the UK's been up to these tricks for years and always has been and so have the other Western countries. Let's just end this little segment on war and defence with a little look at this army video. - We have 12,500 military action facts and 79 battle V lead pockets, which will support the resilience of the courageous men and women of the life. We are working under incredibly hard conditions as the conflict in Lebanon continues. This support comes amid the UK's continued efforts, working with partners and allies to call for an immediate ceasefire and de-escalation in the region. The law for integral to securing peace in Lebanon. For more than a decade, the UK has given critical support to the law with who we remain a strong and proud partner. - Well, I thought this was a very sad clip for a number of reasons one is getting, I think the lady is a sergeant major, getting her to read out what is clearly a political statement. She's clearly reading. This is nothing to do with her work, but we're putting a few ration packs into Lebanon at the same with one hand, with the other hand, we're giving Israel the weapons to destroy the country. It's truly unbelievable. Alex, I'd better hand over to you before I have more to say on the hypocrisy that's become UK under this uni-party system. - I don't think I can top the clip you just showed there of German war minister Boris Pistorius, saying the Eastern Front is very important to me personally. But here is, as they say in Brussels, a tour de tablet of what's going on around the continent of Europe. For the first piece, I had to go, as you'll see in the show notes, to archive.is because we're not supposed to read Sputnik International. It's a very naughty news source. There is an ally here of the Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, called Andrashimo, who perhaps with license from Orban himself, he's not in Orban's party directly, says that there is a European commission plot to replace him through a color revolution fiddled elections, which would be in 2026. There is a chat with the unlikely name of Peter Modjar, which directly translates as Peter the Hungarian, who seems to be putting a put up for the Juan Guaido slot, if you compare it with Venezuela, the Prime Minister in waiting. It is just that the Hungarian voters haven't decided that yet, but they will, according to this allegation, be made to see sense soon. Over in Georgia, I reported on the tensions earlier in the year, when I was in to BBC, people will be aware that there was a parliamentary election, just in the last couple of weeks. What is happening right now is mercifully no street violence, but President Salome of the Verro-Zora Bichvili, who actually grew up in France and bought a French citizen most of her life, and came back to Georgian politics under Mule El-Sappar Vili, now the president, who is at odds at loggerheads with the parliamentary majority that formed the government, the Georgian Dream Party, ultimately backed by the alleged Russian oligarch, Vinci Naqiv Anishvili. She has said that she doesn't need to provide evidence of the British proof of her conviction that there was vote rigging Al-Arus in the Russian style. In the election, she says, "Ha, we have prosecutors and investigators for things like that." So it's up to them to prove their innocence, not need to prove their guilt. We will see how this develops. Politico, in its Brussels branch, of course they're Washington-based as well, is reporting that the former Finnish president, Salome Nienister, when we have reported on in the past, we had a lady camped outside the presidential office in Helsinki once alleging that he was a thug in quite a remarkable episode. But Nienister has become a president emeritus after more than a decade as head of state of Finland, of course it's now a NATO member state, and he has been commissioned in retirement from leading his country by Ursula Fonda-Lion in her second term now as commissioner to create a European CIA. And the guts of the article, of course, says that there is lip service paid to the idea of security and defence being a national competence, but maybe that's only security, henceforth, not security and defence, because although there is a European external action service, a war ministry and foreign ministry of the EU rolled into one, which is led by a high commissioner, not directly by the EU commissioner, such. From now on, there will be a defence and space commissioner or war and space supremacy commissioner if you're a bit more cynical. On the European Commission's line-up directly, this will be under us Cornelius of Lithuania, who will be working on developing, look at this, the European Defence Union. That would include the United Kingdom, of course, Brian, because we're in it. It's not synonymous here with the European Union member states. What else is going on? Why net news, one of the biggest sources in Israel, has reported what was already picked up by others, there has been a scandal in Italy, a Milan-based private investigation firm, called Equalize, as in, perhaps, to equalize the odds by fair means or foul, I don't know, which is composed of former defence and security officials in private higher capacity, has been caught by Italian state investigators of knobbing with visiting Israelis. And it seems that what the Israelis wanted by the cut-out of these Italian private detectives was dirt on Prime Minister Georgia Milani and ways to bribe Iran with regard to the oil and gas sector and also information on the Wagner group, this mysterious entity, which may or may not be Russian hackers, may or may not be steered by other people. So that's quite important, a G7 and, of course, a big one. The G7 member and a big hitter in the EU and in NATO is openly fighting such a Mossad intrigue. Over in Spain, and I would urge people to look at the photographs embedded in this report, we can't, of course, show them all without breaking copyright, we can only screenshot pages, but we see that King Felipe and indeed the Queen, who was mud-spattered as well, have gone to the site or site of this very mysterious and extreme death by muddered water that happened in Valencia in eastern Spain a few days ago. And you can see that that's the king there with the back of his head visible in the camera shot. And these two gentlemen are Valencien residents yelling at the king. Of course, Spanish temperament and Spanish support for the royal family is not what we expect in Britain, but it is fairly unprecedented. To give him his due, he kept his cool and stayed there. The allegation now, of course, is that the Spanish state was slow and the authorization of the army wasn't forthcoming to clear people's houses up when it could perhaps have saved livelihoods and saved homes and maybe even saved some life. Very shocking and distressing things going on, of course, in Spain. And finishing in the Netherlands, because I'm based here, the coalition government led, well, dominated by here-filled as party, PVV, has now announced its strictness to silent policy ever. In British terms, this will mean the removal of ILR indefinitely to remain. You'll always have the sort of academically to bother you as a refugee who's naturalized or given leave to remain. Various other measures, cells around the country, trying to target people as bogus as asylum seekers, nasty messages in asylum centers, perhaps saying we're trying to get them back home. The big one that probably won't stick in international law is that the Dutch government now wishes to declare the bulk of Syria, which is where most asylum seekers come from in the Netherlands nowadays, declare the bulk a place that's safe to return to. But whether you can do that under international treaties is quite open to question. It's a territory of a country that's either safe or not safe to return people to. But there we are, and at least on the surface, refugees and the asylum seekers will no longer enjoy a priority on housing lists and social security lists above Dutch residents and natives who need that support. - Alex, thank you very much. And again, we'll talk more on that in extra time. Ben, let's bring you in because, of course, migrants is a problem affecting every country in Europe since the borders were deliberately opened. What are you looking at here? - Well, we're looking at large groups of unvetted fighting age men being stationed around the country at taxpayer expense and local people who are raising valid concerns about this are being ignored by public officials and canceled and censored both in person and online. It's quite remarkable. We're going to look at Altringham, which is a beautiful market town in North Cheshire, just eight miles southwest of Manchester, which was actually founded in 1290. So it's got a long, long history population of just over 50,000 people, beautiful market, beautiful industrial buildings from the Victorian area. You can see here, and actually it's one of the nicest places to live in the country. And I was contacted by someone who lives there who will remain nameless for the purposes of this report via my rise blog. And the reason for that was this development, which took place just a couple of weeks ago. And it's been confirmed that the Cresta Court Hotel in Altringham has closed in order to house asylum seekers. And Altringham today have revealed that the Altringham Hotel had suddenly closed its doors for a period of 12 months with all existing bookings and parties canceled without warning. So that includes weddings, people's birthdays, any plans that had been made in 2025 had been canceled by the hotel. And this morning, referring to the article, they were able to confirm that the hotel, which has been a fixture of the hospitality scenes since the 1970s, has agreed to deal with Cerco, which manages asylum seeker housing for the home office. And apparently this decision is completely out of the council's hands, it's already been made. And this has already been tied up. Now, Cerco, interestingly, big international corporation, mainstay of the city of London, also delivering commercial revenue to the royal families, Brian touched on earlier. So they seem to have their fingers in every single pie that we're talking about today. Cresta Hotels itself is, well, sorry, the Cresta Hotel is owned by Vine Hotels, which is this company, experts in hotel and venue management and development. At the chairman of which, interestingly, is Greg Dyke. He was previously chairman of the FA, he just made that a little bit bigger for you, chairman of the Football Association and the British Film Institute, he's a well-known media executive journalist, broadcaster and former director general of the BBC. Nice, he's a very, very high profile individual, and he is benefiting personally from this development, this contract that has been signed with Cerco. Now, I mentioned there's been some opposition on the ground, that's been coordinated very capably by this gentleman, Councillor, Nathan Evans, who is a conservative Councillor, who's been organising public meetings, but he's had two event venues, Council, and he's experiencing a lot of censorship online as well. People really don't want the locals talking about this at all. And he released a very good little statement. I've taken a segment from that, which we're going to have a listen to now. Despite hundreds of residents signing up within minutes to our secure ticketed event, the Council refused to attend. The MP refused to attend. The police and the business community were happy to meet with residents, along with all eight conservative Councillors. It appears our Council is running away when it comes to listening to your concerns about the situation, and our MP is simply missing in action. We are hearing warm words about providing for the asylum seekers, but nothing when it comes to the genuine concerns of our residents around the proximity of the Kresta court to many schools, the transport interchange, and of course, our town centre. It is unfair of the Council to say they had no control of this. We have a Labour Council, a Labour MP, a Labour Government and a Labour Mayor. They hold all the levers of power locally, regionally and nationally. When this happened last year in Hale, our then MP, Graham Brady, intervened and the housing of single males was blocked and replaced by legitimately vulnerable families. It's also clear that certain social media forums are intent and sifting or discussion and deleting comments as residents raise genuine concerns. - So there was a statement made by the local MP, who's this fella here, Connor Rand. He says that I am proud to represent a constituency as diverse and tolerant as altering them in SAIL West. However, I understand that there will be residents who have concerns about the private agreement reached between Best Western and Serco to temporarily house asylum seekers in Kresta court hotel. So he's thanking them for their tolerance, i.e. he wants them to shut up and he's also pointing out that the agreement is a private agreement between Best Western and Serco and obviously has nothing to do with the government. Quite remarkable. He continues to say, "I have today written to the minister responsible "for asylum to ask what steps they are taking "to process these claims quickly "and to ask what support the government "will be providing to our community "to deal with any increased demand on local services "that this decision will bring. "I'll update residents when I receive a response." And continues further, as residents will know, this is not the first time a hotel in our community has been needed to be used for this purpose. This is a result of the huge backlog that has developed in our asylum system over the last 14 years with a number of asylum seekers waiting for a decision on their claim increasing from 19,000 to almost 119,000. And that means it's the tourist fault so you can't blame me. So Connor Rand, who is he? So this is him. He is a former Labour Party staffer and then he was a researcher at the union of shop distributive and allied workers. So he's very much a kind of left-wing figure as you'd expect from a Labour MP. He's actually the first ever Labour MP in this constituency. And interestingly, he's not from the local area at all. He doesn't live there. And actually it's possible that he lives much, much, much further afield. He was parachuted in earlier on this year ahead of the general election when the previous candidate resigned due to unspecified personal reasons. So this guy called Ben Hartley, he resigned from the campaign and Connor Rand stepped in and we have information from a Labour Party inside of telling us that this was a decision made centrally in Labour HQ, right? So this is not a decision made by the local party or the local voters, right? And interestingly, again, as I kind of touched on a moment ago, it appears that he's not even from the area. It doesn't actually have any kind of connection to the area. This came from a Facebook group. Someone commented that this is unconfirmed, by the way, but he is from East Anglia. He studied there, his family connections are there. It seems that he lives in Norfolk, right? It's a rumor that he lives in Norfolk, right? So he's not in the local area, which I think raises some really interesting questions about accountability and our ability to get our hands around figuratively our elected officials when things are going on in our local area. And interestingly, that Facebook group where that comment was taken from is run by a Labour Party staffer. And that person has been deleting comments, including, as I understand it, that comment, to deliberately stifle debate, right? This is really, really inappropriate. I mean, we've got ourselves a situation where you've got 300 fighting age men from Libya and Eritrea and other parts of North Africa who've just been placed in the middle of altering them without any discussion whatsoever. Now, this is an ongoing matter. Nathan Evans has written to a vet coup at home secretary and we'll report back as we see any kind of developments here. But effectively, he's asking them to explain what due diligence has been conducted regarding local schools and infrastructure. And there are three schools within a kilometer of this hotel, by the way, I don't think I mentioned that earlier in the poll, what mapping exercises have been undertaken and what risk assessments have been completed. And additionally, he would like further clarification on the decision to place a single individual males rather than families and whether the council on local MPs were given any prior notice of this engagement because actually it appears that they haven't been. - Okay, Ben, serious subject. Of course, we know what mass migration is doing to countries in Western Europe. It's destroying them. Everybody suffers. That's the agenda, the breakdown of society. Let's talk about this a little bit more in extra time. Alex, bring you back for just some final comments on the law. Should we laugh or should we cry? - There's something from every part of the British Isles, every jurisdiction. Well, thank you to Ben first for that because this is not the first time that Labour Party HQ down south has made a mistake and put its foot in it with Cheshire. They seem to regard Cheshire as a county that's booked north that will respond well to dog whistles. So when the late lamented Gwyneth and Woody passed away from serving many years as crew and Nantwich MP, Labour went up there and campaigned with actors playing toffs in top hats, thinking this will go down well with the northerness, but Cheshire is a rural conservative county in essence. So that did not go down well at all. Right, so what's going on here? The independent reports that, and this only applies to England and Wales, this nightmare order from many years ago called imprisonment for public protection, IPP, is still an albatross around this country's neck as we, or our great and good like to bound around the world, telling other people how to rectify there in theory or justice systems. There is a gentleman here who is living in a tent as a fugitive because the conditions of bail or staying out of jail for his IPP, this is for the rest of the life, it's indefinite. Someone in the justice system decides to change their mind in that the sort of damocle for him is you must not chuck up again with your former partner. There are no legal or evidentiary standards for this, it's just we don't like it, you're being a menace, you're being riff-raff. Many other people who have had an IPP slapped on them before UN criticism stopped it, and some of these committed suicide in prison, it hasn't been retrospectively removed, it's just not applied to new people anymore. Others, as I say, have committed suicide, but there are other cases where people have been told, if you ever get drunk again, if you're rude to somebody, you're going back to the Slammer, and there's no end date for these IPPs. So let's just bear this in mind because even among our audience, I don't think many people are aware that there is a category of people who are worse off than the zecs of the Soviet Union, in that they have no release date for their life sentence, they must comply with the authorities in all of their bigotry, otherwise they're going away again. BBC was the first to report this, but others have since in Scotland, which doesn't have IPPs, they are similarly perplexed with the status perplexed with the response it has had to its proposal for jurilis trial, something that Claire mentioned, Claire Wills Harrison at our recent event in Bristol, as an egregious error and abuse. So the Scottish government has understood now that even on the emotive issue of rape trials, where the argument was, Scott's law is for various reasons like the corroboration rule preventing rape victims from getting justice, the solution is not jurilis trials. Before that, the Scottish government, especially when Nicola Sturgeon took over with her particular version of feminism, the previous thing they did was try to write into legislation and they got it passed as well in Hollywood that the judges would direct juris in certain circumstances to convict people. Quite unprecedented, but we're not going to have jurilis trials. If you're wondering whether this is just a one-off by people in Edinburgh, no, because five years ago, and with no particular connection to Scotland, Raccoon Tur was hosting a piece by Rosalyn Warren, saying, "Should we have robot juris, artificial intelligence? "Hmm, better than people?" Well, of course, better in one way, they'll never say no to a judge. And then finally, the real and finally, is from the two Irish jurisdictions. First Northern Ireland, a Belfast Telegraph reports that Sinn Fein is flogging signed copies of Jerry Adams' cookbook. For 50, it should be pounds, actually, it's being sold south of the border. 50 euros, it's called the Negotiators' cookbook and Maria Kahl was quoted in the article, a famous victim of the IRA rape victim, saying, "You know, do these scumbags "have no sense of decency at all in their moneymaking?" Well, I think that they enjoy the lifelong protection of both states, his Majesty's government, and the Irish Republic for services rendered over a long course of the troubles. And down in Dublin, we have got this. It's really a bit of a downer for an unfinally, but it's really so bad, it's comedy. The Irish hate crime bill has passed. People will recall that the independent senator in Channad Airen, Sharon Keegan, spent nearly half an hour reading out the 72 genders named individually in that legislation, which has now gone through the erochtus, which will enjoy protection. The Irish government says nothing to worry about because there's no hate speech code, it's only hate crimes. But there you are, the Irish state now protects 72 gender identities. - Alex, thank you very much. That'll give our audience something to think about. We must end there. So a big thank you to you, Alex, and Ben for joining me today. That's the end of the news. If you're part of the paid up team for the UK column, please join us for extra starting in a few minutes, but the news team will be back at one o'clock on Wednesday. See you then, bye-bye. (upbeat music) Raise your hand if you feel really represented in our Colorado state legislature. Yeah, that's what I thought. Hey, it's Ross, and I have no confidence that the people under the Golden Dome are routinely doing what's best for me and you, for our families and neighbors and friends and colleagues, because our system for choosing and electing candidates isn't functioning to benefit us, it's functioning to benefit the system. But there's something we can do about it, and it's called Proposition 131. Prop 131 will let all voters choose among all candidates, regardless of party, for the state legislature, Congress, and most statewide races except president, with the top four going on to the general election. It gives us more options as voters, and importantly, it keeps party bosses from sticking us with bad options. And as someone who wants to have true choices, I have to say that I'm even more confident in my support for Prop 131, knowing that the party bosses on both sides don't like it. It takes power away from them, gives it to you and me where it belongs. For a better government, vote yes on Prop 131. Paid for by yes on 131. Own cloth registered agent.
