UK Column - Christmas Special Podcast 20th December 2024

Who's doing it? Who's doing it? I'll do it. OK. You do it. OK. Let's see how prepared we are for the last programme of the. Year. Good afternoon Today is Friday the 20th of December 2024, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK Column News, the last news in 2024. I'm your host today, Brian Gerrish with in the studio, Mike Robinson and we've got a full team with us.

So we have Alex Thompson, we have Debbie Evans, we have Charles Manic, we have Mark Anderson, Ben Rubin and Diane Rasmussen Mcaddy. So full house, really. Yes, indeed. No, this is the last programme of the year and what we normally do is to sort of choose our favorite stories from the year or what we thought was the most significant stuff from the year and maybe have a look into next year as well. But before we get on to that, I thought we should start with this fantastic piece of news

that we all got this morning. And so let's bring the lovely Peter on screen. And he used to be known as Prince of Darkness, of course. So we thought it appropriate that he is put in a Anton Lavey esque pose here. And of course, he has been appointed as ambassador to the United States. And you know, what more could Trump wish for? Well, it's just utterly incredible. Of course, that was your image from many years ago, Mike, which is absolutely appropriate to

bring it back on screen. But the fact that he's now being fully engaged in Stormers cult, because that's what I think it is, and given this prime position in the States, I think is, is so telling. They're not even trying to cover their tracks at the moment. Indeed. So let's have a look and see what was said about this. This is the government statement on it from an unnamed

spokesperson. The fact that the Prime Minister has chosen to make a political appointment at Saint Lord Bamelson to Washington shows just how importantly we see our relationship with the Trump administration. They said we're sending someone close to the Prime Minister with unrivalled political and policy experience, particularly on the crucial issue of trade. He's the ideal candidate to represent UK's economic and security interests in the USA.

Now, of course, he was at one point business secretary under Gordon Brown. He was president of the Board of Trade at one point. He was European commissioner for trade at one point. But of course, there's been questions about Peter Mandelson over the years. Let's just listen to this or remind ourselves about this question that was asked of Keir Starmer about Peter Mandelson.

If you'll excuse me, the FT did the report this summer on a JP Morgan report which suggested that Peter Manderson had stayed at the New York townhouse of Jeffrey Epstein in 2009 when he was de facto Deputy Prime Minister and while the financier was imprisoned for soliciting prostitution from a minor. Do you think that Lord Mandelson, who is of course a close political ally of yours, has some questions to answer? On Peter Mandelson look, and I do try to give pretty full

answers in these sessions. I don't know any more than you do, and therefore there's not really much I can add to what you already know, I'm afraid. And you know, that's simply the state of the affairs. Thank you, Jim.

I've got Martina from the Sun. So true, true to form there because you know, to Keir Starmer when he was DPP was not prosecuting Jimmy Savile and a whole bunch of other things and clearly no interest in discovering the truth of what may or may not be alleged against Peter Mandelson either. Alex, I'd be keen to ask you your opinion on this because you've been, you've been following these people for a

very long time. What makes Peter Mandelson qualified to be the ambassador for the United States under Donald Trump? Is he, are they, is he going to be going over there to try to handle Trump? I think he knows where the bodies are buried. He is going to handle Trump's handlers. I don't think there's any precedent for British ambassadors trying to tell American or for that matter French presidents how to act in a strong presidential system in a major country. That is not going to happen.

But Mandelson, Mandelson can Marshall the pro British forces that exist in Washington and certainly in New York as well, and get them to dance to the music of a different set or the beat of a different drum. I think that's more likely that on the cards, particularly the Foggy Bottom end of the British Empire that is the US State Department always been very pro British. Yes, indeed. Now let's come on to your segment. And Alex, you and I have both been following Georgia for a

very long time. You perhaps much closer than I have, but nonetheless, we've been talking about it for quite some time. And, and one of the big stories of this year has been what's been going on over there. Indeed, and if you'll pardon the noise behind me, I'm afraid that that's nothing I can do anything about.

I'll explain in a moment where I am Salome Zurab Bishvili, who exactly 20 years ago became a Georgian citizen by special dispensation of the then President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy. She was until then a French diplomat of Georgian extraction. She is due to finish her presidential term at the end of the year in just a few years few

days time. And at the moment it seems that we're going to have a January the 6th stand off in the presidential palace in Tbilisi. This rather elderly lady born in 1952, so over 70, has just addressed the European Parliament in its plenary session in Strasbourg and has effectively called for EU and for that matter NATO intervention in her country. It is quite a remarkable step that's been taken here. So here we see that's in the middle of her speech. Beg your pardon for the the

double turn there. She said we are only asking for you 2, that is for the European Union to give us our voice back because of the stolen elections. In other words, her own people aren't allowed to choose the next government. And she's very piqued because Georgia is now transiting to an indirect appointment of president.

So from now on the short, we can say the pro Russian majority in the electorate, which is elected a a party that wants modus Vivendi with Russia, they are going to indirectly appoint presidents and the president will be more of a figurehead. In fact, the current one that's due to come in in a few days time to replace her is a former footballer. So not somebody who is expected to be a heavyweight politician.

And Zura Besvili was calling on the EU to stand up for the repressed people of Georgia by, well, by preventing the new government from being able to function. And she transparently said that the European Union needed Georgia because it was a bridgehead into the Russian regions. And that's if you if you lose us, you won't be able to meddle with the Black Sea region and you won't be able to colonize Armenia.

She didn't quite use those language, that language upfront, but she was having to put it all out there in a way that wouldn't have been desirable a few years ago. And some of the responses include here, For example, the French entrepreneur, I think now living in China, or at least very much au fait with China, obviously takes a pro Russian line here. And but he he says fairly enough. I've rarely seen in response to this speech in Strasbourg by Sarot Salamesa Robashvili.

I've rarely seen such a blatant example of treasonous behaviour from any president anywhere. It's strong language. But she was basically saying I'm not flouncing out, you have to prop me up. And if even if I go, perhaps being dragged out by by troops from the presidential palace. We need another revolution in this country.

So Bertrand says that in this speech she's begging for foreign intervention against her own country because she disagrees with the choices of the democratically elected government. Truly unreal will certainly less of a veneer than there used to be and therefore makes a comparison with Yoon, the now impeached president of South Korea, who got a unanimous vote against him in parliament.

So it is a bit of a trend that and we see it very strongly in Romania, which saw Rabishvili applauded the overturning of that election by the courts in Romania. The and she referred to it too in her speech in accusing Russia of the same thing. The game the great game the the buffer's own countries between Russia and the West is now not really starting wars as such, but it is declaring the other side's candidates to have been unduly elected by opposition, by

election interference. But for example, the only reason that the there has been footballer it's becoming head of state once so rubbish really gets kicked out of the presidential palace next week or goes gracefully. The only reason why she is going to be a he is going to be a shoo in is because the opposition is so fragmented or all shouting some shade of we are Europeans but not agreeing on anything. They didn't agree. They agreed not to contest the

election. So it's perhaps an admission grudgingly that they wouldn't have got the majority if they had contested it. Now this has been analysed by people including Simplicius the thinker as and some of our views will know that he's quite an an unnuanced pro Russian analyst. But the detail is in this. And this, of course, will all be in the show notes to read in a piece, which is a medley with a piece that begins with a piece on Georgia.

He says that this Zurabishwili speech, which you can watch by following the notes in the show notes, is the very apotheosis of the rules based orders terminal decline. Well, there was a tan from equality to it, that's for sure. She was speaking her third or fourth language. But you know, there there was a lot of pleading you, you must prop me up, or at least they then that follow me.

He says that there is no Ave. left, the West, the West steep state, but to ratchet up totalitarian policies to stay in power and the anti democratic calls become increasingly naked and they're forced to say the quiet parts out loud and he goes on. She hails the illegal nullification of the Romanian election, which is met by resounding applause by the corrupt unelected bureaucrats. That's the European Commission and and parliament he's talking about. It was more to the parliament

than the Commission there. And simplicity says that a dying empire seeks only absolute power and expansion at all costs. Nothing else matters. We will see what comes of this, whether Kavelashvili takes over from her. But as we're in prediction mode, as we always are at Christmas, one of my predictions is that Georgie will undergo at least one revolution in 2025. It wouldn't be unprecedented for it to have to perhaps a spring and an autumn revolution.

You know, stranger things have been known in that region. Before I do, at the next mini segment, just reminding viewers of our constitutional material, I should explain why I'm here and why it's a bit of a hubbub. Behind me is a portrait of the Reverend John Kershaw and I'm in his old Chapel, which is Hope Chapel in Rochdale in sunny Lancashire. And the reason I'm here is a bit of a good news story really.

Although the attenders of this Chapel have heated out to almost nothing, it attracted the attention of a Dutch cattle farming village where they're all staunch churchgoers. And about 100 people have turned up today with me as interpreter, to see the Chapel reopened for its old purpose of Christian

worship. And that, you know, that they've done everything to sponsor the refurbishment up to and including taking the old roof tiles back to the Netherlands for a Polish and reinstalling them on the roof. So, you know, it's quite, quite a shame that, that we couldn't do it ourselves as as Britain. But it means that the heritage Chapel in town centre has been preserved. Then sorry, did. You. I didn't, yeah. Sorry. This is a This is a technical incident, yes.

It seems to be a technical incident. Yeah. OK. So what? What's your next segment, Alex? It's just really to Oh, yes, I'm, I'm sorry that I forgot that there was one more slide in the previous one as well, which is that there is APDF available here and translated into English as well on the historical memory of the North Caucasus site where we read that Salameh Zurabishvili's grandfather.

This is the reason why she was in France growing up is because her grandfather was one of these National Socialist fellow travellers who went West and surrendered to the Allies in 1945. And here you can read a translation of the Swiss interrogation of her grandfather, Michel Kedia, in which he pretty much admits that he was in good graces with the Nazis throughout the war. It's just par for the course for the region.

All of the countries between Georgia and Estonia, the current political class, have got a background like that two generations ago. So these are the figures that

the European Union sponsors. Yes. The other thing I have to mention, because alongside predictions, we also make promises or undertakings at this time of year, is that our constitutional coverage is going to be a particular focus of mine, even though I'm not able to do as much presenting at the moment, certainly not every week as I used to be able to. I'm no less committed to UK column and I will be making a particular effort to get our constitutional coverage up and running again.

Pay particular notice to this sterling writer, Philip Ridley. His two most recent articles on freedom of speech being constitutional, inheritance of Britain no less than of America, and on whether we can be taken to war without a parliamentary vote are very useful articles indeed. They dovetail with the recent interest that's Ben has gathered in investigating the House of Commons library, which is MPs one stop shop for the official version of Truth.

And I'm sure that he'll be producing a lot more and also podcasting with us. And so that's my other promise or prediction for 2025 is that we're going to restart a dissident's guide to the Constitution.

Because as we were saying last night on Millennial with Brian and Ben and myself as guests representing UK column, as people who watch us increasingly decide to leave the reservation that's been marked out for them by the the state and the the regime, they're going to need to know what it is that they are fighting for and what a good way to govern themselves is. So constitutional coverage is going to be our focus. Yes, I'm very much looking forward to that.

Alex, if I may, you've managed to fly all the way from that strange country called Netherlands into the United Kingdom with no trouble at all from our illustrious security services. So obviously to do an end of the year UK column news was not deemed to be a security risk to the UK on this occasion, is that correct? Correct. And I should, I should face you, shouldn't I? Because we've agreed to be a big Christmas. Yeah, you can't do that in that.

Face to face panels. You can't do probably. 0. You'll be. On this occasion I I was I was not pulled over for a Section 7 or a Schedule 12 or any of the delightful things that's that the police have at their disposal to hassle people coming into the country with wrong thing. Yeah, this is very encouraging. So we've ended the year and we're clearly a non threatening organization to the not only the security of the UK but also the world at large. Indeed.

OK, Thank you, Alex. Let's come on to you, Debbie. And what's your take on 2024? Wow, yeah, good afternoon and happy Christmas everybody. I'm trying to do my little bit but I am quite low key for Christmas. But I guess to move forward we've got to look back and I'm particularly concerned that there doesn't seem to be much of A written record with how we've gone the last 4-5 years. It's like people are trying to get us to forget. It's like the last five years, COVID years never happened.

So I'm keen to remember and to go back because as we're sitting here today, there are millions of people out there with vaccine injuries. There are millions of people out there who were suffering bereavement. Over the last five years, there have been people that have died way before their time. So I think it's really important that we remember that COVID, in my opinion, was phase one, no

job, no entry, no job, no job. So let's look at what we've been through and let's look at perhaps phase two, which could be no digital ID, no entry, no digital ID, no job. But let's go back to 2019 because I think it's really

important that we do look back. And I want to take you back to the COVID memorial wall because everybody that's remembered on here, whether they've died from mid Aslam and morphine death, whether it was vaccine injury, whether, whether it's whatever, these people for life for them and their relatives will never be the same again. Do you remember this complete

lunacy that we went through? And here you've got a school orchestra sitting in tents because they're not allowed together, School children standing on yellow circles because they're not allowed to be together. And if we go on, we can find elderly, the elderly that were trapped in care homes only speaking through windows, many of them desperate to to touch and hug their relatives. And then, you know, a gun at your head. Really. We went through that.

People were actually standing in lines and having guns put up their heads. And then crazy stuff like people were that desperate to hug one another. They were making makeshift plastic suits. Do you remember these plastic suits? Remember, they told all the children they could kill Granny. And then I think probably one of the most tragic, tragic pictures I've ever seen was the rubber gloves that were inflated and filled with warm water to comfort the dying and comfort

those that were ill. But COVID, you know, for me and I think probably for many people, was in my opinion, an excuse, a reason to kick off the whole climate change sustainable goals. And we'll always take it back to the sustainable goals or maybe the unsustainable goals. And here you've got King Charles the Third. Because we mustn't forget that when we look at the top of the pyramid, he is one of the biggest characters at the top of

the pyramids. And if you want to go and look a little bit more about King Charles, you know, we have done an awful lot of work. Ryan and I have done five programs, 5 interviews about the Green King. And we've got more coming up. And you can see there on the news, I think we shocked everybody really, when we showed this statue of Prince Charles as he was then, saviour of the world in a loincloth with wings standing on.

A hill of skulls. So you know, we've got climate change rolling out now, taking over COVID, but we've also got climate change mixing, fusing, if you like, with health. So here's the world World Health Organization because you can see that the World Health Organization are into climate, but in what capacity? Why? What do they have to offer? Well, you know what, when you think about the UK, what do we have to offer the world?

Well, it's health. So we tie in very well with the World Health Organization. And life sciences, as Ben has been highlighting for ages, has been really where we are heading for £68 million. Sixty 8 million of us are in the NHS. We are captured. So life sciences is a massive industry and we are able to offer that to the world. But through what? How, what? So we've got to come back to the NHS because that's the unique selling point for the UK.

So we've got the NHS Confederation, which is the engine room. That is the engine room where everything is driven. And then you've even got the NHS Green website with the logo. So COVID phase one was fear control, surveillance, data harvesting, data stealing, but one huge, massive experiment. But the four, the last four years have been interesting. We'll talk.

I mean, I'm sure many people will talk about Biden and Trump coming up. But in the Biden years, although there's been carnage, it's been a very good opportunity for those in control to gather the data to see how did the public react during those four COVID years, 3 COVID years, how many people took injections? Where were the dissenters? Where were the voices that were standing up?

This gave them a very good opportunity to data collect and it also gave us a very good opportunity to see the agenda moving forward. So let's look ahead to 2025, which I believe could be the second phase. What have we got to look forward to? So very quickly, digital ID. Well, we all know that digital ID is coming in. Mike's spoken many, many times about the whole digital identity and, and the fact that actually, are you going to be able to go to the supermarket?

Will you be able to go to the doctor? Will you be able to get on the bus? Will you be able to go and visit your mum if you don't give digital ID? And how important is that? Well, of course it all links into the NHS app and we've talked about the NHS app over and over again and here it is. Apparently 34 million people have it it. It's the key, in my opinion, to a digital prison. There's no way out. It's a spy in your pocket. You're going to be constantly pinged by the NHS.

They're going to come to you. You don't have to go to them anymore. They're going to come to you. And I want to thank Ned Artisguna, one of our very own members, an amazing artist who did this scrap the app meme for us. I mean, it really is fantastic. No more human touch just to screen. Your data will go to Palantir. Palantir, probably off to Mossad and CIA. And your hospital bed is in your bedroom. So what else have we got to look

forward to moving forward? Well, of course, another big thing is antimicrobial resistance. We've talked about it many times before. Please go to the search bar on the column because you'll see loads of material antimicrobial resistant. So we're going to get super bugs that are resistant to antibiotics. We're going to get generic drugs and antibiotics. They're all going to be in short supply. And you're going to get new antivirals and monoclonal antibodies coming down the line.

You're going to get new equipment in hospitals as well. Hospitals are going to be pretty exclusive. You won't be able to pop into your local hospital, your teaching hospital anymore. It will be more by invitation only. And you can look forward to these new body scanners for UK patients. And then of course, because hospitals are going to be pretty much out of bounds, hospital is going to be your home and that is the future. Remote virtual care and also

more genome testing. So Oxford Nanopore here, breakthrough genetic sequencing, the world's first epigenetic map, 50,000 samples from UK Biobank. So this is where the life sciences agenda is going. This is where the UK want to use every single one of us as their experimental Lab Rats and more experiments too. So patients, the NHS and the life sciences sector set to benefit from new clinical trials. This basically means new clinical trials means they're

going to come through quicker. You're going to be opted into them probably many times without even being asked. You'll be in a clinical trial. Or maybe you'll be participating in Future Health where you get £10 to answer a load of questions and give a blood blood test. I'm sure many of you watching won't be doing that, but that's

the agenda moving forward. And AI, artificial intelligence, of course, your medicine and your care is going to be controlled by AI. And I have to say catastrophic contagion. Who has who remembers catastrophic contagion? This is Bill Gates's latest exercise, the John Hopkins Centre, where he forecasts severe epidemic enterovirus, respiratory syndrome. So we've talked about it a lot. Norovirus, E coli, walking pneumonia, gastric bugs, nausea, vomiting, the winter bug.

We get it every year. But of course there's going to be new medications coming down for it, like an mRNA injection. And please don't forget that serious adverse reactions, one in six people in hospital, in a hospital bed right now are in hospital because of a drug. Serious adverse reaction is pretty sobering. But you know what, I think for me, moving forward, we have to look at other things like

assisted dyeing. But I want to bring it back to the chair of the Commission of Human Medicines. I want to bring it back to some Munir Per Mohammed. And if you don't know who Munir per Mohammed is, we've done a lot of work on him. He is the chair of, he's the CEO actually of the Commission of human medicines. He reports to the ministers, right?

So if a drug is approved, he will report to the minister and he will say to the minister, we've ticked the box for Pfizer, AstraZeneca, COVID vaccine, whatever the medication be. They also advise the chief medical officers as well. So Munir, per Mohammed, is very important because he also advises the MHRA. So he's the top of the tree. And as you can see, he's going to be here for another four years. But his conflicts of interests are huge. We've talked about him a lot.

But you know what? I want to show you a little clip because people say to me, are these people just mad? Are they evil? Do they know what's going on? Do they understand what's going on? And what I'm going to say is when you see this little tiny clip of Professor Munir, Per Muhammad, he is, he's calculating 2050 when we're all still going to have iPhones.

He's even calculated that the number of iPhones that we're going to be on. Has anybody not told Professor Munir Per Mohammed, the actual agenda moving forward? That your phone, you're not going to have a phone in five years time, probably. It's going to be integrated into your body. So I'm not quite sure how clever Professor Munir Per Mohammed is, but this is his vision of the future. Have a listen. It's going to happen in the next 50 years.

So I think if you look at where we are at the moment, we are at the stage of iPhone 11 I think. So if I am right in terms of my calculations, in 50 years time people will have the iPhone 36. I think my timing is correct. So at the moment we use iPhone 4 GPS, which is Global Positioning System. Tell us where to go in terms of maps. In 50 years time, GPS will mean a genomic prescribing system. On your phone, you will carry your whole human genome sequence. It will be linked to your health

record in your GPS. In your hospital, it will link to your laboratory tests. Your phone will not only have 9 senses, it'll probably have 100 senses. It will it will we will be able to detect everything that's happening in your body, incorporate them into your phone and the artificial intelligence algorithms will take your whole human genome. They'll take your activities, what you eat, etcetera, and and therefore develop the best algorithms for you so that you can actually.

Get the best treatment. And when you go to see your doctor in 50 years time, you'll just take your phone, he'll just plug it into his computer and he'll say, right, well, this is what I need to do with you. This is the best treatment for you. And that's the future of medicine. I think that we are heading there slowly. As I said, we can't fly at the moment, but 50 years time, we'll be able to fly. We can certainly walk very fast at the moment.

In the near future, we'll be able to run to be able to get there. So thank you very much for your attention. And that is the man that is responsible for rolling out and, and making sure that the MHRA and that ministers, the likes of Chris Whitty, approve all of these injections and new medicines that are coming down the line. That is who's in charge.

So let's finish off this segment because, you know, I love to get back to Dame June Rain. This might be the last time we see her because there's been a secret board meeting. And who knows what's going to happen in January. We'll probably have a new chair and a new CEO. But this is an exclusive because let's see what Dame June Rain thinks is going to come up in 2025. Have a listen. Thank you, Graham, and. As colleagues will have seen, it's quite a full report.

It's been a very busy time and I think it fully demonstrates the breadth of the agencies deliverables. As we're here at the Science Campus today, I think it's quite nice to focus I think on the immense effort for antimicrobial resistance. Antimicrobial resistance week is this week and globally forces they're aligning. But here at the Science Campus, we have some real cutting edge work on bacteriophage and also on the microbiome. And none of that of course detracts from the role on

vaccines. So let's I think really pay a bit of tribute to the huge efforts that Nicola is leading here in terms of antimicrobial resistance. But that, as I say, is not to neglect what is happening on vaccines as we prepare, ever prepare for the coming flu in the coming year in terms of access to healthcare products, the earlier announcement of a refreshed innovative licensing

and access pathway. Has been very much welcomed, particularly the fact that the NHS is fully signed up to be on board with a narrower focus on products that are truly transformative. And another important development has been related to the work on mRNA platform technology, not just for cancer vaccines, but for personalized medicines and guidance that will be out there for public

consultation quite soon. So the efforts to drive forward innovation really are moving ahead quite, quite strongly. Our return to Green programme on the other hand. So there you go mRNA moving forward for all personalized medicines. So finally scanned for safety. You're going to be scanned, you're going to be barcoded. Your hand isn't going to be held. An iPad is going to be held. There's going to be more jabs,

more apps. If you expect bedside care from a nurse, then I'm afraid you're mistaken. That's not what you're going to get. If you expect a doctor to know what he is prescribing to you, He doesn't, you're mistaken. If you expect a pharmacist to know what the doctor has dispensed and what ingredients are in that medication he's giving you or she they don't, you are mistaken. Do you know who's looking after

you? Because what I will say is please ask, just ask the questions, question everything. But just finally, finally, because the end on good note on my segment is I want to thank all our amazing friends, our guests, the people that we've met on interviews, Cheryl Granger. I'm talking about Doctor Robert Everett, our members. I'm talking about Robin Kelly, Doctor Robin Kelly, Jane Dean, who we've just interviewed, and all of the other amazing people who are doing huge amounts of

work in the background. And Doctor Tech Tong, Dr. Tech Kong, excuse me because he and I, we're going to get you a hospital, an old belts and braces hospital, coming back with uniforms, TLC and where you'll be welcome with a smile. So there is a lot to look forward to, good stuff to look forward to in 2025, but also words of caution. Be aware, keep your eyes open, keep your eyes around you and ask questions. Over to you gentlemen.

Debbie, I think my first response is just to hold up this wonderful card because this is Ned, who's on the case with a Scrap the App Christmas card. So with Ned on board and others, we're well on your initiative to get rid of the app. And also want to say that if Charlie boy, King Charles, as he is now, can have his own statue with a loincloth and wings. I just wanted to point out that I've had a statue of myself for

some time. No wings, of course, and that's it. I don't know whether you can make it out, but it's a very good statue. So he's not the only one that's been given a statue of him. Debbie, just to finish off, your blog will be up very soon. Oh thank you, yes, it's a bit of a Christmas Eve. Well it's crazy isn't it? The Vatican at the Pope's going to be opening 5 sacred portals on Christmas starting on Christmas Eve. We've even got an AI Jesus and looking forward, peace and security.

I'm not sure whether we'll get that, but let's pray for it. OK. Thank you, Debbie. Right, Mark, let's come on to your segment. 9 Yeah, good day everyone, viewership as well as fellow presenters here in UK column. You know, I didn't think a whole lot for today about looking back in 2024 and looking ahead in 2025 except what I have to say now. My thoughts are a lot of what I do looks at the media, the mass media cartel, its history, its founders, its function and the

prospects for the future. Whether it will fold, whether it will be decommissioned, whether the dissident media can overtake that and own the narrative. And that would affect everything Debbie talks about. It would affect everything we talked about and one of the big cover ups and one of my subjects for today, a huge cover up in terms of our government and the media is the USS Liberty. And this first slide will show

an acquaintance of mine. I met Phil Tierney in both 2013 and 2018 and he did a interview with Candace Owen, the noted constitutionalist commentator here in the States, which reportedly got over 4 million views.

Those in the State of Israel may not like that, but it says here on June 8th in 1967, while patrolling in international waters in the Eastern Mediterranean, the USS Liberty was savagely attacked without warning or justification by the air and naval forces of America's greatest ally, the State of Israel. One of the biggest cover ups of all time. As a matter of fact, I won't

read this whole thing. It's it's here for those that want to freeze the frame an important website thereussliberty.org or you can go to usslibertyveterans.org and it'll take you to the same website. But I'll just cite a little bit of this Of a crew of 294 officers and men, including three civilians, the ship suffered 34 killed in action and 173 wounded in action.

The ship itself, a $40 million state-of-the-art signals intelligence platform, was so badly damaged that it never sailed on an operational mission again and was sold in the 70s for a little over 100 and thou 101 thousand. That's all as scrap. And that again happened at $1400. It was on the 8th of June at 67, approximately 17 nautical miles off the North Sinai coast.

And Phil, Phil Turney outlined to Candace how first there were surveillance planes, kind of scout planes that came out and looked friendly and they were from the state of Israel and they could see the cameras. They were taking pictures and what I'll mention was then when there was rocket fire and napalm fire and cannon fire, they had taken what they photographed and then they strategically hit those things. In other words, they blew out the life rafts first.

They blew out the communication antennas and devices and anything else that the 50 caliber machine guns that were on deck. All of that was strategically blown out first because they had used the photographs that they had just taken. So they knew exactly what to shoot. So it it was a dirty pool to say the least. Now we've got a short video clip of Phil Tourney talking to Candace Owen and his thoughts on Donald Trump with regards to this issue.

All presidents and all Congress, including Donald Trump, has not done anything for us. They're beholden to the Zionist state. AIPAC, you know, Donald Trump's a new president. Again, I call on Donald Trump to help us. I mean, we gave our lives and our blood for this country at the hands of the Zionist Israel. And does he stand with Israel or does he stand with the United States? Fighting men that were slaughtered that day by the Zionist state covered up same

with mistaken identity. I call on you, President Trump, to give the USS Liberty the same courtesy we deserve or any fighting man that was killed that day. But we don't get it because Israel did it. It's fine. As long as Israel did it's everybody, it's fine. It was a mistaken identity. It wasn't Admiral Moorer. He had the Moore report. It's a very, very detailed report. He's the longest serving Admiral in the United States Navy.

He served as the European commander and the Pacific commander in two, two times as chairman of Joint Chiefs. And he says I'll never believe it was a mistaken identity. And he called, he called on Congress over and over to have an investigation. Congress says there there already has been an investigation. There never has been. There's been a board of inquiry by Admiral Isaac Kidd and his boss or his underling Jag officer Ward Boston. They completed that

investigation to seven days. Should have taken a year. They never even talked to Israel. They took Israel's word instead of ours. Quite dramatic testimony that he gave to Candace Owen. It's a little over an hour long, easy to look up online. On this slide, it notes that the website for the Liberty veterans has gotten 1.5 million visits since 2020. Pretty impressive. And they're calling for everyone to help bring the true story of the attack on the Liberty to the

American people. And there's not much more to share here. I'm keeping this fairly concise. This is a new USS Liberty Monument. You can examine this more closely at that website. Very detailed, very artistic. And I believe if I'm not mistaken on the left one, that's an actual piece of metal from the ship that's molded in there with one of the ordinance holes in it. I don't think that's make believe. I believe that's real.

I'll have to double check that. And then there's an upcoming event next June. Speaking of looking ahead to 2025, the Liberty Veterans Association 58th Anniversary reunion June 6th through 9 in Norfolk, VA, near the huge naval base there. I intend to be there. I want to cover that. I have every intention of being there. And there's also a four episode docu series, Sacrificing the Liberty, and you can look up how to purchase it on DVD or live stream it at that same website,

usslibertyveterans.org. And so with that, Mike, that will do it for now for the USS Liberty, Yeah. Keep going, Mark, because we've now got a segment on on the drones that the issue of these strange drones simply flying about everywhere in the United States, not just in the United States. They're flying about U.S. business in the UK as well. So RAF Lake and Heath is, is the main US air base in the UK and apparently these drones are flying around there as well. What is going on?

Well, I don't have all the answers. I'm going to be a little bit more in the extra frame of mind here. Permission to speak freely. In other words, permission granted. Maybe it's not a coincidence in the long term that CBS News is real heavy on this. This first slide shows mysterious drone sightings by CBS News. I'll talk about why CBS is significant in a couple of minutes. Trump claims the government knows where the drones originated.

And most of the comments I'm seeing and I'll, I'll cite some of these slides for for content in just a moment. But just about all the comments I'm seeing that accompany videos on this, the majority of people are just simply not buying it. They're calling this a psyop. They're calling this brain stirring, you name it, that it. It's basically kind of a psychological operation, a psyop.

And this CBS notation, I'll cite briefly here, it says President-elect Donald Trump claimed that the federal government knows the points of origin of the mystery. Jones flying over New Jersey, other East Coast states, and now you're saying overseas. But the government wants to keep the people in suspense. Actually, Trump's making more

more sense than most people. There is a congressman in New Jersey who thinks there's an an Iranian mothership over the Atlantic near the US coast and that the Iranian mothership is letting smaller drones out. I'm not even going to dignify the congressman by naming him, but anyway, CBS says this. The president-elect didn't offer evidence for his claim and declined to comment on whether he's been provided an intelligence briefing on the drone matter.

The Department of Homeland Security, FBIFAA, Defense Department said in a joint statement quote Having closely examined the technical data and tips from concerned citizens, we assess that the sightings to date include a combination of lawful commercial drones, hobbyist drones, law enforcement drones, as well as man fixed wing aircraft, helicopters, stars mistakenly reported as drones.

We have not identified anything anomalous and do not assess the activity to date to present a national security or public safety risk over the civilian airspace in New Jersey and other states in the Northeast. And we'll move on from there. Trump made his comments in a lengthy exchange with reporters at Mara Largo. And Trump went out to say, and reading again from the CBS report on this, the government

knows what's happening. Trump said, although the extent of the of the government's knowledge is unknown, Trump added, Look, our military knows where the drones take off from. If it's a garage, they can go right into that garage. They know where it came from and where it went. And for some reason they don't want to comment, Trump added. I think they'd be better off saying what this is our military knows and our president knows. And for some reason they want to

keep the people in suspense. And so I, I think Trump is exercising some some wisdom there because with the I, I was, I was on a show last night and we had a very general brief discussion about this with Brian, Brian McClain with his boiler room boiler room broadcast that he does on Thursdays. The the the data gathering that our governments have the US and UK being part of Five Eyes, the total information awareness and the surveillance capabilities

that have been developed over the years that are going off into the medical field like Debbie outline the capability to know what's in the sky is extremely immense. And so to be told that this is something of a mystery. There's you know, nothing to worry about and yet there's such an unusual number of drones way beyond normal and many of them seeming to move in kind of a formation or in unusual

patterns. And yet there for there to be no explanation of it suggests again, it's a very intense SIOP to test the waters to test people's responses. A a a definite psychological operation. Everything points to that. Another thing that has been brought up in conversation is that, and my mom used to say this. My mom was the original conspiracy theorist. God rest her soul, Catherine Anderson. She used to say when, when, when the government does some big event, especially when it's a

little vague. You don't only you don't only look at what they're doing and analyze it and try and dissect it. You also look the other way. What are they trying to divert you from? What don't they want you to look at while they've got you looking at the pretty lights in the sky? And I think that's some wisdom we can all share in at any rate, depending on how long you guys

want to go with this. In this next slide, I put a YouTube link where in a more sort of a more fantastic format, you might say they they look at these drones. It's a little bit sci-fi sounding. But if you want to show either one of these short video clips or both of them, go ahead and I can comment a little bit more. Well, what we'll show. This video clip presents a truly

unnerving and unusual scene. It captures what appears to be an extraordinary event taking place over the skies of New York City. The spectacle is so surreal it could easily belong in a Marvel movie, yet here it is unfolding in real life. The footage leaves me genuinely perplexed and searching for words to describe it. Yeah, well, indeed, psychological operation, I think, Mark. And we can. We can you know the the the narrative towards blaming Iran

is very, very strong in this. Yeah, yeah, even though, I mean, think about it, if if Iran departed their country with a ship that was headed this way, it's just absolutely fantastic to assume that our government would not know about it and wouldn't put the kibosh on it long before they got near the shore and released the little children drones off the mother

ship. So think about how absurd it is for that congressman to to think people are going to believe that, that that our government, that our Navy wouldn't have stopped that long before it reached near the shores in the Atlantic Ocean. Yeah, just sorry, just to just to finish this off because I mean it is important to to remind everybody that psychological operations have been played on the general public before many, many times. But I mean, I suppose the War of the Worlds broadcast was the

original and the best. Yeah, I'm glad that you included this. I didn't know with the interest of time how much to put in here. I looked at this a few years ago and when radio was in its, you might say golden age and TV was just coming up on Sunday, October 30th, the Mercury Theater on the air produced by CBS News Radio. Let's keep that slide up there produced War of the Worlds and the well known actor and thespian Orson Welles. He he took the lead narrator role.

And this is from the Boston Daily Globe radio play terrifies nation. And there was a study by a Princeton group that involved Frank Stanton, who would become CBS president from 1946 to 1971. And that study group at Princeton, in the wake of the War of the Worlds broadcast, determined that about 6 million people heard it. And of those 6,000,000, they actually felt that 1.5 million of those 6,000,000 felt that it was real or seemed real, and

that it was not a hoax. At any rate, the the format was where they had an orchestra playing. And then the news would cut in very sharply and abruptly and talk about anomalous strange events that eventually culminated in a Martian invasion of Earth. And they came in to Earth over the skies of New Jersey.

Now, it might be something of a stretch to say, hey, they're talking about the drones being over New Jersey now, primarily New Jersey. And maybe I'm over generalizing and reaching a little bit on that one. But it is curious, to say the least. And I believe we have another newspaper front page. Yeah. No, we don't. I'm afraid we didn't see another one. No, that was the only one. Oh, OK. It depends on what you want to do.

I did have a couple, I provided a couple audio clips from the actual broadcast, but I can also just talk about that a little more, although what I've said is probably sufficient. But it was just a comment just to summarize on it. It, it was definitely a experiment in psychological operations to see how the people would respond to a very, you know, potentially frightening scenario and to see what they would believe, how easy they'd be to fool, in other words.

And it's easy to go online and look up the original broadcast and listen to it. There were brief disclaimers where they, you know, by law they had to make it somewhat clear that this was not real. But the disclaimers were very far and very few and far between. So if you tuned in and just happened to miss the disclaimer, it might have been something where you'd be wondering whether it was real or not. But yeah, this this was sort of the Rosetta Stone of PSYOP operations.

Yes, OK. Thank you, Mark. Then it's. Let's come on to you then and what have you got? I've got quite a haul, actually. Mike. Hello, everyone. Merry Christmas and I hope you had a great 2024. It's great to be here. And hello to all of my esteemed colleagues. Look at us all lined up there. What a fantastic little group we've got. It's, it's, it's really great to see you all and to return to a Friday. Actually, I've not been on the column on a Friday in a little while.

So it's great to be here and I've taken a look back over my first full calendar year of reporting on the global technocratic supposed elite and what they're up to. And it's kind of blown my mind actually going back through my files. And I've just pulled out a few kind of key moments, key things that really just astonished me when I came across them across the year. This is just a bit of a skim really, because I could probably sit here for two or three hours and go into a whole load more

detail. And I'm going to start off by looking at the place where the global technocratic elite, the Predator class, always start their year in Davos. The World Economic Forum is coming up in a few weeks.

And specifically I remember looking at Davos House, the Goals House outpost in Davos, the global proper Hand propaganda hub for the SDGS, the Sustainable Development Goals, the kind of guiding light, the North star really, for how all of this activity is being coordinated internationally, right? The SDGS are extraordinarily important. People like this big fan Tony Blair loves them. Look at that, the Global Goals.

He's got a scarf. He's standing there in the snow at Davos, hanging out with a bunch of of his mates. David Cameron's obviously there because these people aren't really in competition with each other. They work together, right? These political leaders, they're both pulling in the same direction. You've got Cameron there with Kate Garvey actually stood next to him. Who is one of Blair's former top aides from Downing St. who now works at Freud Communication.

Who delivers Gold's house? They're the people responsible for delivering this program. You've got AJ Banger there in the turban who's now the World Bank, formerly at MasterCard. So this is a big public private partnership, the global corporations and the political leaders coming together with a lot of representatives of rich families, particularly the

British royal family. We can see here Theresa May in the centre standing next to Princess Eugenie, Co founder of the anti anti slavery collective. That's what she's currently doing, which is, I don't know, kind of tragic and kind of entertaining when you know what her family background is. And also the first real humdinger of the year when you look at that little thing in the

wall over there, that tapestry. I remember coming across that in January and sort of looking at it and going, what on earth is that thing? And one of the viewers, column viewers pointed out that it was this. Well, it was a version of this. This is the bigger one that is one of the smaller reproductions on the wall of the Gold's house in Davos. But what are we looking at here? This is the Wolfenstein tapestry, right? And this is created by this man in a dress, Sir Grayson Perry,

CBE. And what does he show us? He shows us a a scene of utter devastation, quite frankly. You have all of the global corporations who are partners of the World Economic Forum represented in these little characters in this scene that he's created all the way going through the course of someone's life, culminating in a bunch of human children being sacrificed to Satan on the right hand side. You can just see Satan's head there popping up in the gap between those people in the ground.

Isn't that an extraordinarily odd thing for these people to have on the wall in their meeting house in the mountains at Davos? Right. Maybe they're trying to tell us something. I don't know. Anyway, that was the real, that was the first one out of the gate. We started the year as we meant to go on. And who else do we meet in Gold's house in Davos?

Well, actually it was the first time that I think I introduced this fella, James Harding, who is stood in front of said tapestry in this image, A man who knows a lot about Satanic Richard abuse from a purely journalistic perspective, of course, because he's reported on it by his media organization, Tortoise Media. He's the founder. This is an extremely influential organization that he founded in 2018. We believe that the name Tortoise is a reference to the mascot used by the Fabian

Society up until the 1960s. And the Fabians are a not so secret Society of radical Marxists working to implement a single global communist state. That's what they're doing and that's what I think these people are doing up in the mountains, quite frankly. Right. And Harding sits at the the centre of that. The motto of the Fabian Society, interestingly, is when I strike, I strike hard. And these people, people are now

striking hard. I think that 2021, two and three in particular have been about laying the groundwork for the next big push, which is going to come in 2025. They're going to be striking very hard. This organization is going to sit at the centre of it. How have they been doing that? Well, we've been reporting on this. This year. There's Harding leading the global conversation around AI governance. Really, really crucial, right?

The artificial intelligence that they're trying to roll out is the mechanism of implementing single, centralised global governance. That's what it's for. It's going to infiltrate absolutely everything. Yeah. Debbie's already spoken about how it's got into the health system.

I remember coming across a quote, I can't remember who I, I should attribute it to, but someone in the NHS saying that the 20th century was the century of the clinician and the 21st century is going to be the century of the system, right? That's how they're thinking about this. The system is going to take control. And actually, again, as Debbie's described earlier in the news, our clinicians, nurses, doctors, this also extends into the education system, the civil service.

They don't really know what they're doing. They're just doing what they're told by the system, by the artificial intelligence, by the algorithms that are being used to implement global governance. Ultimately, right now, who's behind this? These people are behind this, The Rothschild Foundation, AKA Yed Hannadie, the people who built of these two buildings, the Israeli Supreme Court, which we can see in the foreground, including the little Masonic

temple on the left hand side. I think there's definitely some symbolism in there. There's a pyramid with an eye at the top of it you can see in the foreground. And then also the the Knesset parliament in the background, which I think gives us a real clue here about who's pulling the strings on AI governance, but also about what they call responsible investment. Where is institutional money being directed in order to reshape and redirect the

economic system globally? What is the economic system going to look like? They're dictating this from the top down. It is being disseminated through these organisations, these networks who meet at places like Gold's House, and it's all being coordinated and directed by.

The UN Sustainable Development Goals, We're going to see a lot more of this next year, not least because as we've reported extensively over the past couple of weeks, Tortoise Media has just bought the world's oldest Sunday newspaper, The Observer, which has been going for 233 years. And actually beyond that, they've entered into a strategic partnership ultimately and really a merger in many ways with the Scott Trust, the owns Guardian Media Group.

And Tortoise Media is now going to be hitting the news stands next year. They're getting into print, they're going to be building their online presence, they're going to be investing heavily. And this is all about leading the progressive liberal narrative, which is the narrative being used to implement these new economic and political systems around the world. All of this, of course, is being done in the name of democracy. They talk about this a lot, liberal democracy.

This is the term I brought up time and again this year. And if we read between the lines a little bit, I think this means that we can do whatever we want if enough people go along with it. And that's why controlling the narrative is so important. That's why owning the relationship with younger generations is so important. That's why dividing the population up into these little warring factions is so important, so that we can just get people to sign up to whatever we want them to without

too much scrutiny. This is a message being pushed right from the top, right? And I introduced you back in June, end of June, to this fella. This is Daniel Sachs, a Swedish businessman who is also affiliated with the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, Chatham House, Open Societies. He's dictating terms to giving the marching orders to the liberal progressive political elite, the likes of Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, even our own political leaders as I'll

come into a moment. He's been supported in this by his natty little sidekick, this fellow Paul Alakon, who believes the world was created for him and is a Obama leader for Europe, a very powerful and influential man behind the scenes. And also these 3 ladies, Pooja Warrior Hamilton, Lisa Witter, Robin Scott, all three of these women are young global leaders of the World Economic Forum, as is Daniel Sachs by the way, right?

So you can see how these people are brought into groups like the World Economic Forum, like the Young Global Leaders Programme, are aligned around the shed set of objectives. And then they are sent out into society, into the economic system, into the political system in order to frankly wreak havoc so that they can implement their new international system of control. They're doing that through this

organization. For me, this is probably alongside tool to one of the biggest stories of the year. For me personally, I think one of the most important groups of people to be aware of when understanding what's going on in the political system and what they're actually trying to implement. So this is a political foundation for global governance. This is the way that I read it. And they're operating in 170 countries. It's a naked power grab.

They're stealing democracy. They're breaking traditional power structures. This is just one component of this democracy flywheel where effectively they're manufacturing, manufacturing consent for whatever it is that they want to do. Yeah, and there are huge amounts of money being flooded into this. And it's really focused around the UK at the moment. A political actually operate out of London and Berlin as they've got 2 offices in each of those cities.

So a lot of this is being coordinated from here, but they're using the UK as a test case. And we revealed this back in October that Catherine Day here, who is from the Cabinet Office, announced that she is essentially handing responsible possibility for developing the 30 year vision for the country over to these people. You know, the World Economic Forum and the young global leaders that we've just talked about are taking ownership of developing the future vision for this country.

And this is corporate state capture, right? The globalists have taken control. This is not a maybe, this is not a conspiracy theory. This has happened. They have announced it, yeah. So we're going to see how this develops over the coming months. And 2025 is absolutely the year where this is going to ramp up,

right. So at this point, Open Societies, the Gates Foundation, the Bilderberg Group, the Council on Foreign Relations, they are in direct control of the UK. Yeah, that's what we've, that's what we have shown you this year. And that is what is going to define a lot of what we're talking about next year. Now, how are they getting away with this? Well, first of all, just total apathy, frankly, on the part of the electorate. A lot of people are just completely disengaged from the

political process. They've been disappointed. They've been lied to, and they just don't see that there's any solution within the current setup. And actually, in many ways, I tend to agree with them. But I don't think just allowing these people to roll on with their plans is a particularly positive or constructive solution. They've also completely infiltrated the institutions. The civil service is gone. The political classes have gone. The city, frankly, is gone.

The corporations have gone. They've all been taken over by this managerial elite who are set on implementing the single system of global governance. And they've done a great job of dividing us up, as I've kind of touched on already, in order to push this through, right? And this divide and rule approach, The strategy is as old as time itself.

It's what the Romans used to do in their empire in order to divide up native populations and get them warring with each other so that the Romans could just sit on the sidelines, referee the conflict, collect taxes, and carry on running their empires. Exactly the same approach that we can see here. And what are the dividing lines? Well, it's gender, it's race, it's generational divides. And I'm going to touch on a

couple of these. Haven't got a huge, huge amount of time, but there's just two examples that I want to draw people's attention back to because I think they're particularly interesting and important and actually apolitical itself run by women, as we've established sits in this ecosystem as a taster here of this network of high-powered women in politics, business and what they call civil society.

Backed by these organisations who are conspiring with each other globally to radically transform global governance and economic activity. And a lot of this is centred around this organization. I'm going to talk about a little bit now. Vital Voices, a supposed non profit founded on the simple idea that nations and communities cannot move forward without women's voices in leadership positions. We must be led by these women, backed by global corporations and philanthropic funds.

Founded by Hillary Clinton no less that that lovely lady Hillary. She founded Vital Voices, and this sits at the epicentre of US imperial power in Washington, DC some might say Zionist power in Washington, DC And it actually started life as an internal programme of the US State Department. Yeah. So when Hillary Clinton was actually first lady. Yeah. So it was started in 1997, Vital Voices and it flipped over to becoming a non partisan, non profit in around 2000 and five, 2006.

But this is AUS government programme right at its core. This is the US deep state projecting imperial power through networks of female leaders that is set up around the world. And that goes directly to the heart of a political foundation. And the transformation of the British state. Yeah, not just the British state, global governance with Britain as the lab, the test case for how they're going to roll that out internationally. Yeah. Absolutely astonishing.

The scope of this. Yeah. It's it's, it's really mind blowing when when you get into it. How else are we being divided up? I think the generational thing is extraordinarily important. Well, they're all important, but I'm just going to touch on the generational 1 today. I'm going to redraw your attention to this organization again. I've spoken about them a lot this year, but they're going to keep on coming up.

This is extraordinarily important as it relates to what they call Gen. Z. This is my life, my Say, the supposedly organic, independent, nonpartisan charity which actually is directly linked to and backed by the Tony Blair Foundation, the Mayor of London, the US State Department via the US Embassy in London. So you can see the American empire here pulling the pulling the OR should I say the Anglo American empire.

Actually, I think it's probably a more accurate way of describing it. MI six are in the building. NCS is in the building with David Cameron, 2 branches of the Rothschild family, including the, the Rothschild family in Paris and then the Rothschild family via Tortoise Media. They're also in the building plus a whole bunch of other people, right? I mean, the, the, the, the amount of activity and interest and investment circulating around my life. My say is absolutely

extraordinary. It's originally founded by this fellow Methi Cobain MBE. He's not there anymore. He's moved on to bigger, greater things as deputy Mayor of London for Energy and environment, as well as also being an Obama leader for Europe this year. And they are getting on ready to get on the road. So they're going to be delivering in February this Democracy Cafe roadshow. And we talked a lot about devolution and the transformation of local governance over the past few

weeks. And my life, my say are going to be manufacturing consent for this with Gen. Z through this kind of activity. This is just the starting point. So from February, they're going to be in Sheffield, Oxford, Brighton, Eastbourne, Spen Valley, on the ground, getting the kids together, having a coffee, having a chat, getting them to sign up to whatever they can get away with ultimately, Yeah. And if it's anything like the events that they run in London, there'll be an age limit.

You won't be able to go to it if you're if you're over 30 years old. Yeah. So this is the the global technocratic class really sinking their claws into the younger generation and it's extraordinarily cynical and extraordinarily dangerous. And it's not just happening in the UK, this is internationally. So this was just today, right? So you've got the new boss of my life, my say in the centre there.

That's a guy we've spoken about a bit previously, photo called Dan Laws. There we go, little red arrow pointing to Mr. Laws. And he said it was a privilege to host a round table with the Duchess of York.

And the Royal family are right in on this game, the UN assistant general secretary, the Foreign Commonwealth Development Office, charity leaders and young campaigners on youth participation at the UN. So this this organization, these individuals are talking about how young people are going to get more actively involved in global governance at the UN. I'll carry on with the quote from Mr. Laws.

He's excited to work with all the stakeholders present to ensure that we do more to meaningfully engage with young people in UN processes, starting with the introduction of a youth delegate program that amplifies a diverse range of voices from across the UK. And it is certainly a diverse range of voices. Just take a look at the faces that you can see there in the background. I don't know if that's necessary representative of the whole of the British population, if I'm being honest.

Dan Laws, Sarah Ferguson, what are you up to people? And who do we see lurking in the background? That is Ryan Wayne, who is one of the chief lieutenants for this fella. Sorry, I'm going to have to bring him back in frame because he's extraordinarily important. Tony Blair, a monster of delusion. He can't say sorry for Iraq. He killed 1,000,000 people. We made decisions that led to the unnecessary deaths of a million people, but he'd do it again.

He doesn't care. He's right in the middle of the corporative system. He's advising Labour to talk to Google. We're going to talk a lot more about a big tech next year, by the way, because they're really, really coming into the forefront, particularly as it relates to things like education. Yeah. So Google in particular, but also Meta and, and, and Amazon are basically building the rails upon which the global system is going to run.

And they've created a whole ecosystem of start-ups and investment communities and other kind of misdirections to to to mask the fact that that's actually what's happening. And Blair absolutely sits at the forefront of it. It's a huge public, private marketplace. He's making loads of money. And ultimately this is about implementing a system of totalitarian control. We spoke about this last week. He's saying that there needs to be a once in a generation disruption.

That's what's coming down the track, and that's all about implementing digital identity cards for access to every single component part of society. This is their big plan for 2025. This is why they're investing so much money in getting the younger people to sign up to this program. And let's have a little listen now to Alexander Iasad from the Tony Blair Foundation, who's going to explain why digital identity is so important and such a great thing for Britain.

Now I'm speaking with Alexander from the TBI and Alex. We were just talking about digital ID and I really liked the point she made that you said the two keywords that summed up your position were ambition and focus. So can you tell me more about? That. Oh, I think the boards kind of speak for themselves, don't they? When it comes to society, I think the debate has been one. We do need one. The question is when do we deliver it and how do we deliver

it? And we need to be ambitious about what we do with it. We need to be ambitious about when we deliver it. It's something that would really help fix public services of this country, could really help Dr. modernization of the state. And in order to do that well, we need to focus on it. We can't just let it slide and Chuck alone on its own. You need to really get to grip with issues. Yeah. And obviously the TBI works with in a lot of different countries.

So one of the things that I was really taken by was how you wanted to be really practical and say we know this is possible. I think that's a really important aspect to bring to the debate. So do you want to highlight, you know? One or two good. Examples of places that have pulled this off. And that people tend to talk about Estonia or Singapore, who you'd expect to have a good digital idea and they do. Or Denmark, rich countries that seem to have their grip on technical technology.

But there are other countries that have massive, like India, where a billion, the 1 1/2 billion people have been enrolled in a digitalized system successfully and that's being used every day by so many of them. Or Ukraine who implemented their digital ID system in the middle of the war. And you talk to any Ukrainian you know, and they'll show you their digital ID app and they'll say, why don't you have this here in the UK?

So the debate has been won and the question now is purely about when and how we implement this digital ID system. Apparently we've got to be ambitious, according to Alexander, I said from the Tony Blair Foundation, and we need to emulate countries like Estonia, Singapore, India, Ukraine in order to bring this thing into our society as quickly as possible. So that's what we're going to look forward to in 2025. I had a couple more slides, but

we've seemed to jump past those. Shall I, Shall I hand over now? Yeah, let's, let's, let's move on. Thank you for that, Diane. Let's come on to you. Yep. Thanks Mike and Brian and, and everyone here with me today. I'm, I'm really happy to be here for a Christmas special. I just had to do something a little bit different. And basically, I wanted to give you an example of my own work in photojournalism, which is not something I always have a chance to do.

And, you know, sort of strict reporting that we do on regular news segments. So what the audience might not know about me is that I actually have a background in photo, in photojournalism with a PhD and as a librarian by profession. What I wanted to study in my PhD was to figure out how photojournalists and photo editors working for mainstream newspapers like to search for and describe their photos and their online archives to find them later.

But one of the things that they wanted to talk about, which is not even what I had asked about, was how the media uses the images to lie and manipulate, which we already know. If you watch, you can call them. You're, I'm sure you're aware of that. But what you might not know, though, is that the photojournalists who do this sometimes feel guilty because they know that they're lying to

the public. And they also sometimes get angry because the work is selected and manipulated by the editors and the ways that they think will best sell the news or create whatever sensationalism, not necessarily what the photojournalist saw when they were on the site where they were taking the photos. And yeah, I really have found through this PhD and through my years of kind of becoming my own photojournalist that the media and the lies that we see are are

one thing. But if we actually pay attention to our surroundings and what is going on around us, we can learn so much about the world. And we don't necessarily need to watch the news anywhere or, or look at media to figure out what the world is trying to do to us. So what I've decided to do for my segment today is to create a segment of basically a photo from my my own personal collection of either photos or screenshots that I've taken throughout the year.

So I've chosen one per month and they're all mine except for one video which we will come to in a few months in August. So here's my January photo and I was just at the GPS office, in the loo at the NHS Lothian office and this was on the back of the door and it said if you have had a positive pregnancy test and don't want to continue the pregnancy, we're here to help you. There are different ways you can be referred to us to discuss a termination, including

contacting us yourself. And it gives them details, including a website for NHS Lothian which refers to pregnancy termination along with the phone number and the hours that you can reach them. And I took this because I thought, you know, is the NHS really trying to make us healthy or are they really actually potentially somehow contributing to the the degrowth in the depopulation agenda that we have seen in other areas of the NHS for the past few years?

In February, I participated in the Fernethi conference, the second Fernethi conference that was sponsored by people from UK

column. And this made the front page of the Glasgow Times in February. After the conference took place and you can see the big headline, there was fresh hope for Fernethi House Survivors. And this was really an amazing piece of work for me to do because this work with Fernethi is what has I think basically given me my place here on the UK column team, which I am incredibly grateful for.

And I want to thank Mike and Brian and Debbie and all my fabulous colleagues here who helped me get into working with UK column. But this was actually the work that I started with doing. The column was working as a researcher when I was just sort of in the background and kind of getting information together for these amazing group of ladies.

And what the piece of information that I found that was so key, which made the front page of the newspaper, was that these women, when they were at the Panetta Residential School, were in fact in care of the state, specifically the education committee of First Glasgow Corporation, which then became Strathclyde Regional Council, which is now Glasgow City Council. At that time, from around 1960 to around 1991, it was a residential school where the

children were in fact removed from the care of their parents and abused in every horrible way that we can think possible. It was not a holiday camp or for convalescence, which which is what the Scottish Government and the and so on tried to say to get out of, you know, providing the women justice that they're

currently still trying to seek. This is a very important point for the petition because what Shona Robinson, who was deputy first minister in Scotland at the time, was trying to say, well, they were there for convalescence or for a holiday, but actually they were not. They were under the care of the state when this horrible abuse happened to them.

So you can imagine certain people in Scottish Government Parliament were not with what I did at the time, but I was very pleased with myself and pleased for the ladies for the progress that we were able to make for them. So as I said, this all set things into action. This was a very pivotal thing obviously in my life, in my career as a result of the cancellation I've been through

academically. And I just want to thank all of you again and including the viewers for contributing to what seems to have been so far a successful run for me at UK column. And please may along continue. In March, I was at WH Smith local bookshop, and I always sort of check out the children's section to see what kind of stupid things they're throwing at our children that they shouldn't be. So this was just one particular example I found of a picture book, which is part of a very

popular series of picture books. This one is called Puggy Corn and the Love Bug. And there's a whole series of different animals and they all feature rainbow flags of some sort on them. In this case, we have a pug with a, a Unicorn horn as well as a rainbow tail. And I'll just say on the back cover part of the description says a sparkling tale of kindness that shows it's always more fun when everyone is included.

And of course, we know from the a lot of reporting that I've been doing around the the gender issues and so on that when we talk about inclusion in terms of EDI, inclusion actually means exclusion. This was a photograph I took in April at a university here in Edinburgh, which is at the bottom of a staircase. And you see the footsteps saying, keep social distance, please stand here.

And it just made me realize, you know, going back to some of the things that Debbie was showing earlier from what we saw 2020 and 2021, we still see fragments and remnants of this past. If we look carefully, these signs are still in random places. There's paints on the ground. And it just makes, you know, just, I see those occasionally. And I think, wow, are we ever really going to clean up this rubbish that is still sort of infiltrating everything around

us? In May, I was in Sheffield for a meeting for work and I was just walking around the city center. It was a really interesting trip because I didn't I didn't know anything about what was going on at the Crucible, which was in fact the World Snooker Championship, which was not what I was expecting. And people making jokes about cue balls going places that I didn't understand at all.

It was very interesting but this was something that I saw painted in a window that said sending love to our trans, non binary and otherwise GNC pals in Sheffield and beyond. So again, inclusion is exclusion. The people in that particular club get love, the rest of us apparently don't get any love. In June I went to Plymouth and the Southwest for the first time, including my first visit

to the UK Column studio. Did my first news in the studio with Brian which was an amazing experience and I did some side trips around that time including driving all the way out to Land's End. Which I will say Land's End is not nearly as nice as John at Groats, where parking is still free and they don't charge you to take a picture of the signpost, which they do at Land's End.

And this was just a photo that I saw, You know, looking at our coverage of Southwest Water, the pollution in the water, all the things that Debbie does an amazing job of covering. And I'll just read some of this out. This is from the Rain Peninsula Beach Care, which is outside of Plymouth. And it says, what are you flushing away? And we see sort of these pieces of rubbish kind of, in my opinion, kind of ranged as sort of a rainbow flag sort of situation.

Plastic cotton bud sticks, tampon applicators, wet wipes, napkies, sanitary towels, toothpaste, caps, condoms, these all washed up on our beaches and can kill marine life. They cause blockages that raise our water bills too. Pee poo, paper in the loo, everything else in the bin. And you see the Southwest Water logo included others that are

features featured on the advert. So of course they don't get into the E coli and the Cryptosporidium and everything else that the actual problems that have been reported on throughout the year. But this was just, I thought a very interesting, interesting visual trying to really people make people really not enjoy the beach in July. This is just at my local shopping center where they still have a vaccination center in HS Lothian. And this was on a Sunday when they happened to be closed.

Now we're back into December and when I've been there when it's I think they're open seven days a week now. And this vaccination Dr. is full on fully, you know, people queuing up all the time. You see the observation areas, you see everything where people are just sort of swamping the whole situation. So now we get into August, August, I went to a conference on the end of Western civilization, which was monumental for me in a lot of

ways. But I don't think that's the story that it it for me. This particular video is representative of the entire year. This is from the Democratic National Committee, not the convention because we weren't at that point yet. This was streamed on a Friday afternoon UK time on the 2nd of August, which makes it qualify for my my August choice of the month. We will see.

First, we'll see Jamie Harrison, the chair of the Democratic National Committee. And this was a very significant thing because if we look at how the primary elections were done with all of the delegates originally for the primary election first going to what was supposed to have been Biden, Harris, and then getting transferred magically to Harris. And then eventually Tim Walz, which goes against every election rule in in the book, as far as as I know.

And, and this was a kind of a sneaky video that was put undercover. And I, I would just play a quick a clip of this and then we'll talk about it for just a moment after. Your vote is important. It will go towards your state's roll call at the in person convention and it will show the. Strength and unity of this

party. So folks, don't let your fellow Democrats down and be sure to get your ballot in before Monday at 6:00 PM Eastern Time. Together, we will rally around Vice President Kamala Harris. And demonstrate the strength of our party as the nation tunes into Chicago and all of us here at the United Senate. And I can assure on August 19th this will no longer be a construction zone, my friends. But listen, I I think I am. Am I? Getting a call. Or Jamie. Call right now, yes. Jamie is the.

Future president of the United. States Kamala. Harris Hello. Hello. President. Hi, Jamie and everyone, everyone. Hello, hello, Hello. Jamie. I just in front of all the friends, I want to thank you for all that you have been doing. Your leadership at the Democratic National Committee, the DNC has been extraordinary. And I know how hard you work. So Jamie, thank you for everything that you are doing.

And to everyone on the call, thank you for your hard work and all you have been doing over these last many, many, many months. And I know that we are excited about the future, but we also know that we got a lot of work to get there and we have a lot of work to do. It's good work. We like hard work. And, and I just want to thank everyone for joining this call. Listen, I think we all approach our campaign with the same spirit, including that this is truly a people powered campaign.

And I would not be on this call right now and with you all were it not for your support and your trust, or which I am deeply grateful. I am honored to be the presumptive Democratic nominee for President of the United States. So of course, if we know anything about how American elections work, the prime at the primary election stage, we have the Democratic Committee convention and we have the Republican Committee convention. And so this one was done virtually.

And the delegates were just emailing in their responses. And this is a 40 minute live stream. So that's just two minutes of it. But if you watched the first part of it, you see all the people hard at work receiving everyone's emails and they're encouraging the delegates to send in the emails and please send in your result. This is really, really important. Of course, none of the results

were for Kamala Harris anyway. But then they were, they had this sort of screen in the background where these two individuals, very diverse looking young people were tracking the, the, the March to 2350 delegates, which is the number of delegates required to secure the nomination, which of course Biden, Harris had all of them. But we see just the bad production, the fakeness.

You probably heard it must have been a producer or somebody coming over from the background when when JB Harrison was still on screen mean he wasn't really sure if Kamala was getting a call. He's like, am I getting a call? What's going on? And and so the reason I'd show this is because it's funny, but it's also not funny because we saw how badly done the whole thing was.

And I just think the the fakery in all of it and, and the fact that, you know, it just happened right at the moment when Kamala Harris made her phone call was exactly the point when they reached 2350 delegates and the most amazing coincidence you've ever heard of. So I just think for a lot of reasons that is quite representative.

A lot of what we saw in 2024, not just in the States, but around around the world really and kind of the reporting of what people do and really how badly done some of it is, unfortunately. So I'll leave you all to think about that a bit. And I believe the full video is in the show notes if you want to see all 40 minutes of the

cringeworthy coverage. So in September, I really don't understand what this means, but it was a sign that I saw hanging up in my local Boots and it said our future health. What does that mean? What about our current health? I'm sure Debbie could help us answer those questions, but it's it apparently seems to be a very important piece of propaganda for NHS Scotland because I see it everywhere and when I whenever I go into different Boots locations.

This was a sign I saw on a university campus, a butterfly on fire and it says there is no planet B with the word plan in red or orange letters and planet B all together. So I don't really know what to make of that, but it's not a very calming thing to kind of see. But it just goes to show you the fear campaign goes into universities, which is supposed to be a place of truth and and finding information and evidence.

But the fact is the net zero campaign is full on throughout all of our universities in the UK because of the funding bodies who are comes from WEF and UN and of course the government and Davos and everyone who pays money for universities, of course, fully on with this. So this has infiltrated British universities as well, unfortunately. And so here we have from October. This was, well, this was Leo Kierce who did a tweet around the 80th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy.

And he wrote, please wear this in honor of all the transgenders, transgender soldiers who stormed the Normandy beaches in high heels and plastic wigs. And he had a, a poppy next to a transgender flag. And so just to bring us up into the, the last month or so, I've been playing around with different AI tools just to see how they work and, and sometimes they, they work and sometimes

they don't work very well. This is the Grok AI from Twitter and I just typed in it. Could you please create a meme with the account Diane UKC, which is my, my Twitter handle. And it came up with this woman with long blonde hair smiling. That's fairly accurate thing. I am a woman, full stop. Tried #dartmog for a day couldn't cope, but I can't possibly imagine why she's holding a glass of wine. That's certainly not representative of me at all, is it? So that's my year in review.

I think I have a message for 2025 which will be coming later on in the news. So I hope you enjoyed my photo Jerusalem essay and, and sort of a, a, a journey into what my year has been like. And again, I want to thank all of you at UK Column for giving me this wonderful opportunity and I do hope it continues into the future. So thank you all very much. Thank you, Dan. Right. Let's come on to me then.

And well, just going to very briefly run through the censorship that we've seen this year and the censorship agenda has progressed this year. So let's bring this on first because we go back to January. Then we had online abusers can now face prosecution for new criminal offences. And I just wanted to remind you all about this aspect of the Online Safety Act because it's not one that gets a huge amount

of coverage. I've mentioned it a few times this year, but but it doesn't get a huge amount of coverage anywhere else. So let's just remember that in under section 179, a person commits an offence if they if they send a message conveying information that they know to be false. And at the time of sending it, they intend the message to cause non trivial psychological or physical harm to a likely audience.

And as we've mentioned many times, we don't really understand how you make that judgement. But OK, that's what they say. But just to remind everybody that of course the BBC supporting terrorists doesn't need to worry about that because a recognized news publisher cannot commit that offence of any kind of false communication at all. And no matter what psychological effect it might have on anybody, indeed anybody with a license under the Broadcasting Act 1990 or 1996 cannot commit that

offence either. February, March, sort of time we started seeing Ofcom publishing the results of various consultations so that this one was protecting people from illegal harms online. This is the first of four major

consultations. They said that, but this was the one that when they introduced the idea that it, that the regulation wouldn't just apply to the big platforms like Facebook and Twitter and so on, and it might apply to smaller services, including those provided by small and micro

businesses. And then we had the draft guidance for pornography providers that appeared in March, April time, which brought in the digital ID agenda because of course, age assurance, in order to protect children, we've got to have insurance on adult websites.

And in order to provide age assurance, you've got to provide some kind of identity, which might include digital identity, wallets, open banking, photo ID matching, age estimation based on face biometrics, mobile operator checks, credit cards, all considered to be highly effective age assurance. So the digital ID agenda filtering through via the Online

Safety Act as well. Earlier in the year we had the whole hit issue arising and of course the absolute appalling situation in Scotland with the Scottish Government think it was appropriate to bring this cartoon character, the so-called hate monster out in order to promote this idea of hate crimes on or even hate comments online that needed to be fought against. And this was such an such a backlash to this. In fact, they had to kill the hate monster, which is very unfortunate for them.

But then as we headed into the year, in the middle of the year or so, we had the whole conversation about whether we're going to ban encrypted chat because encryption is a major source of dodgy material being passed from one person to another. And of course, children again, being used to see poster children. Sorry for for this because they are the government claiming that encrypted chat being one of the main mechanisms for for transferring child child pornography around the place.

So this narrative seems to have drifted away a little bit, and the pressure on encryption seems to have fallen off a little bit, but it will come back, I have no doubt. Sorry, let's go back then. Sorry, I've just messed that up a little bit. Here we go. Then we started seeing prison sentences being rolled out for people that were alleged to be rioting, but not just for people that were rioting, but for people that were holding signs.

And of course we saw some people dying in prison from following suicide as a result of this type of thing. So the British government very keen to make sure that more than 1000 people had been arrested for rioting, ostensibly on immigration issues, but and hate speech was a very big part of this Britain. Then we started seeing the headlines in the press that the Online Safety Act wasn't really fit for purpose because it wasn't having much an effect

yet. So we had headlines like this from CNBC or what is the Online Safety Act and why have riots reopened debates about it in the conversation The Guardian what is the Online Safety Act and what powers will provide? And they were talking about it not really providing enough Holy rood here on line 50 act not fit for purpose and so on.

So you know, we just saw headline after headline really trying to reinforce this idea that it's not fit for purpose because it isn't hasn't been implemented yet and it doesn't go far enough even if it had been implemented and so on. So as a result of that pressure of COM wrote an open letter to the various online service providers.

But it as in parallel with that so that if that if we considered that as being an attack on what we're being described as right wing extremists and we had similar attacks on people on the left of politics. So Richard Medhurst being the first to be arrested under the Terrorism Act for allegedly support being supportive of a prescribed organization, in this case Hamas for being pro Palestinian.

As we've seen many, many times or talked about recently quite a lot that the idea of expressing an opinion or belief that support of of a prescribed organization equally applies to the BBC, to many politicians and to civil servants for that matter. And of course they aren't being arrested, interrogated, held put on bail for their comments with respect to what's been going on in Syria.

And then in the meantime, as the year progressed, we got some more information about 77 Brigade coming out in UK Defence Journal and their activities and how much it was costing the taxpayer over the years. And we see that currently they have somewhere in the region 14 and a half, £1,000,000 a year

budget at the moment. The UK Defence Journal article also mentioned this organization, the Defence Cultural Specialist Unit within the Brigade, which was specifically tasked with monitoring Internet content related to COVID-19 vaccines. Now, we've been talking about this for a very long time. Just to remind everybody what the Defence Cultural Specialist Unit was, it was made-up of reverse reservists, sorry, and civilian analysts. It was deployed originally to Afghanistan and Iraq.

It was later deployed within the EU. Sorry. Yes, thank you. Within the UK, and this is part of the integrated operating concept, the all distinction between foreign and domestic defence is increasingly irrelevant. But the question was what was the, what was 77 Brigade particularly doing domestically and so on. And of course, this came really to head, we've been talking about it in for for a couple of years, but it came to head in 2023 in January, I think it was, or February.

And Ben Wallace was forced to make a statement about it in the House of Commons. And he, this was as a result of a question asked by David Davis. He had to say, I've already instructed that we not only look into the story of 77 brigades domestic activities, but check that the instructions that I issued after a visit were carried out. Now this statement from Ben Wallace in the House of Commons came about following the Big Brother Watch expose of this

situation. And my question then was, well, what were these instructions that Ben Wallace was referring to in the House of Commons? And so I've we've been pursuing that via frame of information over the last little while. And the answer came just a week or so ago.

And this is what Ben Wallace had written as part of an e-mail 277 Brigade. And he said, as per our discussion, defence personnel should continue to restrict their domestic support to the identification, assessment and internal reporting of disinformation.

Now, just so we understand each other, domestic support is the support that 77 Brigade was providing to the other government agencies because they were embedded in the Cabinet Office, in the Department for Digital, Cultural Media and Sport and so on. So we put that just back up on

screen there for a second. So as per our discussion, defense personnel should continue to restrict their domestic support to the identification, assessment and internal reporting of disinformation, which he defined in the e-mail as information which is created or disseminated with a deliberate intent to mislead, and misinformation which he defined as the inadvertent sharing of false

information. So that was the instruction that he gave to 77 Brigade. He implied in a statement in the House of Commons that basically told them to stop what they were doing. In fact, he told them to continue what they were doing and Simply put, restated the scope of their activity. So they are continuing, I have no doubt because I've seen nothing to the contrary at this stage. They're continuing to operate

domestically. They're continuing to spy on what we're doing, what everybody's doing on social media and so on. And, and just to remind you, they are part and parcel of this government censorship network. Now, this diagram I've shown many, many times, it's a bit out of date now, doesn't really matter. It gives the overall an idea of the kind of infrastructure that the UK government has set up on this and continues to operate. And so looking forward to 2025, more of the same.

We've got to take the fight to them. We have already started that process with our activities on dealing with the Online Safety Act. We'll have much, much more to say about that in the next month or two. But yeah, much more of this kind of activity in the next 12 months. Charles, at last, let's welcome you to the program. Thanks very much Mike and Brian and indeed to everybody watching for sticking with us over slightly extended format.

A year ago I speculated that 2024 would see the use to great effect of some of the new legislation that was pushed through Parliament in the year 2023 and that there might be civil disobedience in the UK. And I would say that I was half right, which makes me nearly far right. But to say civil disobedience, obviously not quite right. There was certainly what was described as violent disorder.

We will continue to speculate, I suppose, as to exactly why it came about and who was involved and where they came from. But on the legislation front, there was certainly some use of what had been pushed through in 2023, as Mike says, most notably the Online Safety Act, which of course is very much tied into the to the violent disorder back in the summer of this year. But more notably, the use of the Public Order Act in dealing with the violence disorder aspect of it.

And indeed, those Sections 4 through to five, which deal with effectively the system being turned on its head and either a supposed victim or indeed the criminal justice system deciding on somebody's intent without actually having to really prove

anything. And most egregiously, the weaponization of the terror legislation, specifically the Terrorism Act 2000. As Mikes already said, Section 12, support for prescribed organization, Schedule 7, and indeed in actual fact, I believe, Section 1, where it concerns activities for the benefit of a prescribed organization. Of course, that was dealt with

in two ways. One was to target by means of censorship people who were conducted in activities that I would certainly describe as journalism, but also on the other side, to absolutely let through the gates all those sorts of communications that were deemed to be following the establishment narrative, exactly like Mike's just said with the with the BBC. Now, in terms of 2024, I would have characterized it as the year of the extremist.

It was back in March that we had handed down to us a new definition of extremism and within that definition there was quite a lot of fluff either side of it. But they specifically made mention of the holding of a belief, regardless of its substance, it being rightly protected under law. Now, this was something that turned out not really to be true as the year pushed on and critically highlighted that this is because the government are deciding that they must seek to limit the reach of these

extremist ideologies. So in continuing to ask the question, are you an extremist, the government are telling us that it leads to radicalization of individuals to deny other people their full rights and indeed it can lead to acts of terrorism. So there was an enormous amount of conflation going on. They wounded up by saying there are concerns that those expressing conservative views will be classified as extremist. This is not the case.

I would refute that totally. I think the events of 2024 have borne out that the government have been extremely disingenuous where this has been concerned. And the police and the remainder of the criminal justice system have actively expanded the bounds continually of extremism. In order that incorporates and includes an enormous number of people for for several reasons, which I'll come on to in a little bit.

But just to go into the censorship side of it, and indeed the way in which legislation can be manipulated and weaponized, this is the Schedule 7, which is the authority of police within ports, so airports and indeed seaports anywhere that people might be entering or leaving the country. And just to remind you that the examination under Schedule 7 is not conditional upon having grounds to suspect that the person of sorry to suspect that person of being engaged in terrorism.

But the decision must not be arbitrary. Of course, if the decision did turn out to be arbitrary, there is no comeback. Also, it is worth pointing out that there is no right to silence in the detention and examination under Schedule seven of the Terrorism Act 2000. And there were many, many journalists who were effectively taken to one side for absolutely arbitrary reasons, and they were not in any way remotely likely to have been involved in the Commission of terrorist activities.

The point of including terrorism in a section about extremism is that extremism has now been used as a blanket definition within which anybody who says anything against the establishment, the government, the corporate, the globalist narrative may be first of all demonized. And then of course, their protestations may be used as a form of propaganda.

Because the moment somebody is referred to as being an extremist and that is linked to a particular topic, the their point of view is of course rubbished, which creates much further divisions in society. And just to exemplify the way in which that's used by the media, this is from July where the BBC put out an article saying that conspiracy theories swirl about geoengineering, but could it help save the planet?

So in effect, what they were doing there was to suggest that anybody challenging the climate change narrative was by virtue of the fact that they were holding something called a conspiracy theory, they were pushed into being an extremist, which has the double effect of making people believe in climate change as a concept, as in man made climate change.

But also makes people less likely to trust those that would question it. And this is something that has persisted very much through the course of this year. Now the other thing, the other big development as as I've seen it in the in the sort of environmental side of things, has been the enormous push towards the creation of fear around what's described as being pathogens of zoonotic origins.

So the idea that it is now possible for not just animals to make each other ill and apparently in very remote and unusual circumstances. A slide here showing that they've said that bird flu has been discovered, described, discovered in elephant seals. We've just had that back on screen in the sub Antarctic for the first time. The extraordinary caption there saying that a member of the avian virology team sampling a seal.

But the point being that having having tried and tested this concept with the COVID narrative in making humans fear each other, now introducing the element of animals being feared, it's very easy to see how this can be driven far further. Especially with the climate narrative alongside it.

Or at least central to all of this as the, the bigger cog driving all of the smaller ones within the machine, including the Therefore, the ability via the threat of zoonotic disease to restrict movement, indeed to restrict speech and indeed to introduce the pharmaceutical interventions that we saw during the last, well certainly have seen over the last four to five years. And indeed, critically where farming is concerned, of course, land use, land ownership and

restricting access to land. So I think many serious issues that bring going on there. Now in terms of looking ahead to 2025, I would say on the UK column front, I think there's an awful lot to look forward to in terms of an expansion of content and indeed the ability to put out or put on more events and engage further with the audience.

I think it's an awful lot to look forward to on that side of it. I would say that I think the the cracks in the net 0 narrative will widen and I think there will be greater public skepticism about the pursuit of what is called net zero in the interests of what is being described as man made climate change. I think there will be a greater and more evident collapse of public services in the United Kingdom.

I think there will be greater pressure on there being kinetic action taken by the armed forces of the UK, most likely in the Middle East and most likely concerning Iran. That's a prediction that I would would make there. And I think also, especially amongst the UK column audience, I would say that there's there's likely to be a much greater scrutiny of where people are sourcing food and exactly what's gone into producing it as we go into a period of increased food

insecurity. So to sort of draw to a close and finish on a high. I will just go to a quote from Brave New World by Aldous Huckley written back in 1932, in which he says a really efficient Italian state would be one in which the all powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced because they love their servitude.

Now, assuming that anybody who's tuned into this broadcast will be of the the opposite mind and will certainly not love any form of servitude. I would leave you with the thought that rather than concentrating on what other people may intend and maybe wanting to do to you and may think that they can do to you, you should concentrate on what you can change and control within your life. And set about dealing with that in order that you maintain the

belief that you will prevail. Because if you cannot cling to that belief, then prevail feeling will be much, much harder. Happy Christmas. Thank you, Charles. Fantastic, Brian. Well, my goodness, what do I do now? You ended on a high there with Huxley, so thanks for that job. What what do I pick up by people's reports? UK column didn't plan today by having discussions about what we were covering. It was, it was just a free

question. What did you what did you see happen in 2024 and how do you see 2025? And it's fascinating how the team across the board are describing a mixture of Orwellian state, a dictated, a dictatorship and Stasi state even we've clearly all been seeing this thing build throughout 2024. And I've got to add my Section 2 this now. For me, 2024 was another year of watching a war, and that was the

Ukrainian war. And I have to say that the utterly brilliant work by a number of alternative media commentators and analysts enabled me to be able to see detail of what was happening in that war on the battlefield on almost an hour by hour basis. But of course, eventually you come to the point where you say what you're actually doing is being a voyeur to a war prosecuted on the ground with men, some women, mainly men, dying in huge numbers.

Now, of course when we challenged the Ministry of Defence or one of our viewers challenged the Ministry of Defence a little while ago about how many British servicemen were dead in Ukraine, they didn't want to answer. But the key thing we need to bring up is it's not the few British servicemen that are. The real issue, however tragic their deaths are, is the fact that we've got over half a million dead Ukrainians and Russians in this created proxy war conflict. And this hasn't happened

accidentally. It hasn't had, it hasn't happened as a result of organisations, the war and the carnage has happened as the result of the actions of militia, malicious and malevolent human beings. So we need to keep a focus on the fact that if we're going to deal with what's happening around around us, we've got to actually understand, see and track the people who are

actually making the policy. Now I'm going to jump to Dominic Cummings, not so much to blame him for the war in Ukraine, but we showed this clip a few days ago. But Cummings with all the criticism about him and do I trust him? Absolutely not. But in this video clip, he was telling us something about how our supposed democracy functions.

Let's have a listen to it again. The person in the So if you think of 2 worlds right, the foreign secretary in Great Britain and the private secretary in the P Miss Office responsible for foreign affairs, an official whose name has never been in the newspapers. That person was like 10 times more powerful and important than the Secretary of State was. And I think this is something which people just don't really realise and it's part of like how the whole system has just

has become fake. So you have fake meritocracy, fake responsibility and then fake cabinet government. So they all walk up Downing St. the cameras word, they pose, they smile, ha ha, I'm going into the most powerful meeting, aren't I great? But it's all nonsense. The cabinet is just the kind of stage theatre and actually officials in the Cabinet Office have already decided it all. When you when you sit in Whitehall now I in meetings,

they are literally scripted. So when the Prime Minister has a meeting with ministers, what happens is that before the Prime Minister has that meeting, officials go into the prime minister's study and they give him a folder. And in the folder at the front is a thing called chairman's notes. And that's the script. And that's what the Prime Minister reads out. And the conclusions for the meeting are in the chairman's notes drafted before the meeting happens.

So is he telling the truth, his comings, telling the truth in this video? I firmly believe he is. He is describing basically a powerless system of MPs who are controlled by the civil servants around them and they are in turn controlled by the very powerful corporations and think tanks of the type that Ben has been describing earlier in the news today. So this is the power base around the politicians and these are the individuals who are actually

calling the shots. Now, I'm also going to feature here the Dean Doris again, because there was a little bit of push back that I actually covered her exposure of what was

happening inside the system. And some people said, oh, well, Brian, you clearly don't know what's happening if you've got to rely on the Dean Doris. My response was you're missing the point because she was telling the truth to the best of her ability about what she saw happening in government and we need to pay attention to what she's saying. So what sort of comments did she make?

Well she talked about Cummings being the dark Lord because although he was exposing the way the system is locked up in the video, he was also part of the dark pond manipulating the agenda around the politicians. But look at the word she's using. Sadism, narcissism, psychopathy, toxic. It was threatening. So this is a description of the inside of our parliamentary system and surely we can't be surprised if we see the output which is ultimately damaged so many people and particularly

target targeted children. Sedition. Grooming women. Politicisation of the judiciary. These are extremely important observations because although I've described her as naive in a number of areas, she's giving us a real glimpse into the way that this machinery works. And she agrees with Cummings here that MPs were controlled. But she goes on to say that Boris was removed in a plot and that he didn't understand the people around him. Now, I think there's some truth in that latter statement.

But of course, Boris was being used as a key puppet, particularly to ensure that the Ukraine war went ahead and there was no chance of peace deal stopping it. And the the last bit I thought was particularly significant because she talked about a system where individuals could interfere with private papers that were going from her as a minister through to the Prime Minister, where her choice of a candidate for the head of Ofcom was swapped.

But presumably somebody friendly to her took the trouble to warn her what they did, took the trouble to warn her that this had happened the following morning. So if this is the cesspit of the so-called democracy we live in, we've got to really think about who holds the most powerful

control. Now certainly the corporations do by virtue of the fact that they've got huge amounts of money and they can fund and control the sorts of think tanks that Ben has described, putting out the wider policy agendas. But at the end of the day, immensely powerful people exist within the so-called security services because of course they're very operational method is secret and any information that they come up with, MPs and civil servants alike tend to

believe because they must. Well, it was the Secret Service that told them it was true. So let's have a look at the little clip again of the former diplomat from Moscow talking about the power of our intelligence services. When he ran MI 6, was he arguably one of the most powerful people in the British government? Well, of course he was. Yes, incredibly. Powerful. And in a very, you know, clandestine way, you know, the the ability to wield that power

out of out of public scrutiny. And and wield that power over the Prime Minister. Yeah, yeah. I mean, you know, when I was in Moscow, Boris Johnson, when he was foreign Secretary, York Government Secretary of State, you know, came, you know, to Moscow and you know, the head of our sort of station, MI 6 station was. Sucking his teeth. About whether he you know, he should show Johnson any intelligence and he has agreed that that he wouldn't and that. Was when our foreign secretary.

Came to the British Embassy in Moscow, you know, in 20/20/17. Well, the comment is wow, but it's absolutely wow because here is another demonstration of the power of people who are not accountable to the wider public, but they can control politicians and policy, including up to the point that we're going to have wars with millions of people dying.

Now I've cheated slightly because I haven't gotten further back in 2024. I want to go further back still to 2015. But UK column warning and warning about the way a Stasi state was being built in the UK. And we were focusing back at this time on the Prevent duty guidance, but we're also warning about GCHQ wanting to run residential courses for teenagers. And here in 2017, we're saying, would you let these men teach

your children? And I certainly wouldn't because I wouldn't trust any of them, as I said at the time with my pet hamster. Now, there were other people warning what was happening. And this is from the same, sorry, this is from 2015. It's Amnesty International lessons from the Stasi, a cautionary tale on mass

surveillance. And what they were pointing out is that while the Stasi in East Germany were very effective and they held huge archives of data on East German citizens, today's spies can gather far more information with a fraction of the effort. And this is really a tentacles that spread across the agenda that the other UK column

contributors have covered today. So I'm going to say the agenda for me in 2024 was to see more of this Stasi state emerging in UK and it's got tentacles everywhere. We need to be identifying those tentacles and we need to be cutting them off as as quickly as we can. But ultimately we've got to look at the people who are doing the damage and the people who are bringing in the policy.

So that was a good reason that we started, as we did, with Mike's picture of probably one of the top leaders of the political cult. Now, what can we do about this? Well, let's lift the mood a bit because at the end of the day, it's doing things. And I'm going to say huge amount of respect from me for the ladies from Public Protection Wales who have demonstrated such an unbelievable effort.

So not only say, no, we're not having the sexual grooming of children in the education system and schools, but they're going to create the whole organization to challenge it. But what better way to start than to have a look at Kim Isherwood speaking at the UK Column conference a couple of months ago? OK. So we haven't got a lot of time today.

I not really going to address much of the sex education with you because you can find all yourselves later on what I want to look at today, we're going to roughly look at the problem. I want to introduce some of the people that's fighting this in Wales and then I'm going to discuss a little bit about the process that we've been through. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Graphic lessons on oral sex, how to choke your partner safely and

72 genders. This is what passes for relationships and sex education in British schools across the country. Children are being subjected to lessons that are age inappropriate, extreme sexualising and inaccurate, often using resources from unregulated organisations that are actively campaigning to undermine parents. This is not a victory for equality, it is a catastrophe for childhood.

Will my right honourable friend honour his commitment to end inappropriate sex education by commissioning an independent inquiry into the nature and extent of this safeguarding scandal? So all of that is true, OK, Every single thing that is true. And you can find most of this on our website. So I'm not going to go through the actual sex education. If I did, I know I would have tears in the room because it happens every single time is

sick. You can find everything on our website, publicchildprotectionwales.org. Much of our fight evidence where we've engaged with the government, the court system and you'll find a lot about us than the people of who we are. So Kim and those ladies have done a brilliant job in setting up an organization now spreading out from Wales across the country, where people are saying, no, we're not having this perverse agenda.

But I want also want to say that recently I was able to start interviewing some of the Finessi abuse survivors, the women that suffered as little girls at this terrible school in the depths of Scotland. And the first lady I spoke to was Lynn Sheeran. So it's just a little picture of her on screen. And I want to say this is the start of an interview series with these ladies who are very brave and they're not going to be silenced over the abuse they

experienced. Second lady, I've already spoken to Sharon Cruden here and I'm going to say for the new year, please join us as we discuss the reality of the government's failure to address child abuse in Scotland. And of course, through the news, we've also been seeing where they're targeting, which is of course our children because children represent the future. So this is the key bit. Where does 2025 take us? What does it hold for us?

Well, I hope there's going to be a few more proper rainbows for us. Not the perverted rainbow, real rainbows. But I think in 2025 we are going to be taken on a roller coaster. And the big important thing for people who have woken up, who now have started to understand what's really happening, is that we've got to be the ones who are going to be standing alongside people who haven't woken up. We've got to be teaching them, educating them.

We've got to be helping to make them brave enough to stand up and speak out. And we've also got to be guiding them through the fear which the governments and its agencies clearly want to want to drown us in. So it's going to be our job to sit alongside. People are having big troubles with the overall public agenda. We're the ones going to be comforting them.

We're the ones going to be saying no, let's stick together and it's going to be OK. But I think in 2025, we're really going to be tested because they are going to throw everything at us. There's going to be the wars, that's going to be fear. There's going to be the diseases, that's going to be the breakdown around us, that's going to be the roller coaster ride. And if we're going to get through it, it's got to be the informed people that keep the others on an even track and even

keel. So my message for 2025 is we've got to feel that, feel the fear, but we've got to do it anyway and we've got to enjoy the ride as much as we can. Yes, couldn't agree more. OK, now it has been an extended news and it makes me smile because it just means that all of us have got so much that we want to say, so much information that we want to get out. How can we end on a really positive note? Well, this one is from you, Diane, and I think it's absolutely on the button.

Thank you so much, Brian. And my message for 2025 to all of our viewers is act local and fight global. I personally think that this is the most, really the only way that we can fight the globalist agenda. We, we can't directly stop Klaus Schwab, We can't directly stop Kier Starmer. We can't do these things at a, at a larger scale. But what we can do is act locally, which is something that I have been doing myself for a while now. And I think we all need to be

looking at this. And what does this mean? We've given examples throughout year, you know, we've talked about, you know, use cash, of course, don't use the self checks at the supermarkets. Get your food from local farmers wherever possible. Get groups together if you don't have any locally. Create your own group of people that are like minded and figure out what you can do to fight the the corrupt councils, the corrupt governments.

Get new people in place. Go out there and let people know what's going on. Inform those who are not yet informed. And this is all we can do because if we start locally, then those networks will start to join together and then those networks will grow bigger and bigger and hopefully go throughout your region, throughout the country eventually, and I would hope throughout the world. But the only way that we can do

this is to, to start small. But if we all start doing whatever small things we can do in whatever way that works for us and we all start doing it, then that's going to be the thing that I think is, is our, our way out of the, the situation that they're trying to put us in.

So I just want to give everyone something to do for 2025 or start today if you can, and let's all work together and, and try to do everything that we can to stop all of these horrible things that they do have planned for us. So that's my message and happy Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone. Brilliant, Diane, thank you for

that. And of course, the other thing, before we get some discussion going in the team, the thing I want to say is a huge thank you to all of the UK column supporters and the members that fund us to allow us to do what we're doing. There would be no UK column without the members and the people donating into the column. This is just, this is just the reality and the fact that we're here today and we can produce the team that we've got on tip

on screen. There are many more people in the wings, but we can only do this with the support of the membership out there. And I want to say a particularly big thank you to some of the don't, don't donate us and the for the donations that have come in towards the end of this year because it's, it's been really lovely not only to receive the many Christmas cards and there's some lovely messages in those Christmas cards. We've run out of table space.

So some of them are now sitting on side cabinets and some are on the floor because it's the only space we've got to put them. So that's absolutely brilliant. But the fact that people are valuing what we're doing enough to make very generous donations is something that's that's really lovely and it makes it all worthwhile. So I'm looking at the team. I'm just going to throw it out to you. Well, just before you do. Let's just I'm not going to do that some. Ground rules Let's just set some

ground rules. We've got to be all on our best behaviour because there's sadly Alex has had to leave, but this is the seven people on here, so we'll just be careful not to speak over each other. Yes. And also we know we're going to be clock watching a little bit now because we need to bring probably today's extended news to a close. But can I just look at you and and say, have you got a few words to say about our

membership? Because I have to say I think it's utterly brilliant the way people have stood by us over all these years and we wouldn't be here without them. Let's start with Charles, if we could. Yes, I, I do, I mean, I think it's, it's been a, it's been the most fascinating part of the voyage with UK columns so far.

The, the, the research and the output and the media side of it is one thing, but it's quite another to have that sort of relationship with the people that you are communicating it to. But both in, in this sense that we're doing now the broadcasting, but also the feedback from letters, emails, that sort of thing.

And having got out to live events this year and actually seeing people in person and to know that those people, you do understand exactly what it is you're doing in supporting UK column. Because it's not about the access to extra or it's not about a specific piece of content. It's about enabling UK column to not just continue to do what they do, but to continue to expand that membership and to spread that message further

afield. So I think it's it's an extraordinary and it is a unique quality of UK column, but it is a unique quality of the member of UK column that they that they absolutely get what it is that we're doing and why and it's terrific. Long may it continue. Debbie, any thoughts? Well, it's just extremely humbling. I mean, I've been so fortunate in not just communicating with our members and our audience, but actually interviewing many of them because our audience,

they're not stupid. They're really not. They're well ahead of the curve. And we've got so many experts in our own audience, doctors, lawyers, accountants, everybody you can name pretty much in our audience. And it's just been a complete privilege and a pleasure to have interviewed them and to have heard their exclusive stories because I think people forget UK column.

You know, you guys, Mike and Brian, you've been around for a long time doing this decade Common Purpose UK column have stood the test of time because there's nothing to hide. So we haven't got this huge global corporate sponsorship deals that, you know, these massive monstrous companies have got. We literally just rely and survive on our members. And I think that's what's so holistic and what has allowed the column to stand the test of time. And long may it continue.

But I'm just incredibly humbled by our members. And many of them, you know, have become part of the family now. Cheryl Granger, Doctor Robert Everett, Jane Dean, You know, these people are doing extraordinary work out in the community and they're not just supporting us, but we like to feel that we're supporting them because it's a two way St. People say to us, oh, UK column keeps us sane. Trust me, you guys out there watching right now, you keep us

sane. So it's very much a two way St. Brilliant, brilliant, Debbie and I think that's so true. Now do do I go for age or beauty next? It's a difficult one. I think I'd better go for age. That'd be that'd be bad, man. I think probably not. Right, Mark, go ahead. I'm up, yes. Well-being sort of the odd man out on the other side of the

pond here. One of the things I did recently was I reached out to the Northside Chicago GOP about the borders are Tom Holman speaking to them and they were pretty intrigued about UK column and I've encountered that before. I would call it a person or an organization directly.

And oh, you you mean you're not CBS or some affiliate, you're not ANBC affiliate, you're not TBS you're who and and those that have seen it are are pretty impressed and that included Matt Truella. You might recall the the minister that talked about the doctrine of the lesser magistrates. He ended up putting auk column clip on one of his websites and I've seen that happen before.

So as we do the news, we can find new members, new allies, new people that will help us propagate our message, which in turn raises the the bar of optimism much higher because as we get more viewers, as we get more donors, the issues that I and so many others have covered. So that to the best of our ability, like when I interviewed Darlin Favrito, he really gets into the mechanism of how elections are actually stolen. It completely demystifies the whole question.

And he shows that yes, elections can be stolen at a very. A very sneaky level, a very clever in, in a very clever manner. And, and other people that we run across. And as we interview those people, they learn about us, we learned about them and the

network grows. And at the same time, despite their Online Protection act and all these things they're doing, for instance, in the UK, which is obviously a direct and indirect way to protect the media monopoly and to provide tools to go after their competitors. As they do those things, those things will become more and more futile because what we're, what we're doing will be so much more viral and so and so genuine and so fresh and will actually solve

problems. So I think I'll leave it at that on a very high note. Thank you, Mark and Ben. The membership, yes, there's really nothing else like it actually. And it's been fantastic to participate in and to connect with some of you over the past year and a bit. And there's this quote that I love from Gustav Mala, which is tradition is not the worship of ashes, but the preservation of fire. And I feel like the UK column membership is the fire that we're all working to preserve actually.

And I've had some incredibly thoughtful and kind messages from people over the past few months in particular. But all year actually, when I think about it, relating to some of the stuff that I've been talking about, some of the stuff that I've revealed about myself personally on the show, people who got in touch, you know, things relating to my family background and what have you. I won't go into right now, but some of the some of the average has just been really wonderful.

Actually. I've massively, massively appreciated it. And also importantly, I've learnt a lot because people have sent me books that I've read that have completely expanded my horizons, right? And I've actually got a couple that are sitting by the side of my bed that I need to get into over the next couple of weeks now that I'm going to have a little bit more free time that I'm really, really looking forward to getting into.

So if I come back a little bit wiser in the new year, then you'll know why that is. It's down to the UK column membership. And I will just say very quickly that the the one of the best things of this year, one of the real highlights was the event that we had in Bristol.

And I'll just echo my friend Steve's comment, which I think I mentioned on extra the week after the event, which was that it was just amazing to be somewhere where you could be yourself and you could speak your mind and you knew that you were surrounded by like minded people. And you know, more power to all of you. Thank you very much. Yeah, great. Well, we think we're probably at the end of today's special

extended news. So Mike and I would like to say a huge thank you to you guys for doing what you do and joining us today. We are a team. We've also got people that have viewers can't see. So Kenny and Stephanie and and Claire who work in the background and and and are doing great things for us. So that's wonderful. But the yeah, where do we leave it? We leave it.

Just before you finish, I just also want to add one more name to that and that is Sam, and of course otherwise known as Dictator. And hopefully we'll be seeing much more of Dictator after Christmas as well. The right sort of dictator. Absolutely yes, yes, apologies Sam there, but this is this It's true. The UK column dictator is going to be more observable. So I I just wanted to end on the note of a huge thanks to everybody supporting the UK column.

Have a good Christmas. Do take time off to relax and socialise with family and friends, because this is all the key part of being human. And just remember the golden rule that the happier you are that we are, the the more unhappy people like Peter Mandelson will be because of course, their agenda is based on fear. It's depressing people and pushing them down. So the more upbeat and cheerful we are as we fight back, the more more successful we're going to be.

So give you give yourself the opportunity to relax over Christmas and do everything you can and last you're just about to finish, last bit to finish. So thank you to Stephanie for press bringing the bringing the note in. Yes, let's let's just tell you what's happening at 1:00 PM every day during the Christmas break. Indeed, we're going to put out the conference videos so they will be streamed in chronological orders as they appeared in the conference itself.

And we thought this would be the opportunity to stay engaged with our audience over the Christmas period. You get the opportunity of seeing those incredible talks again if you were able to attend. If you weren't able to attend, you can of course see them for the first time. So we've done our best to make sure that there is UK column content going out. At 1:00 PM every day. At 1:00 PM every day. Every weekday, anyway. And finally, finally, finally,

just thank you for the break. This is the longest break I think the UK column team has had in a very, very long time. So we're we're also looking forward to this. But we have made a promise that if there's anything incredible that happens, we might have to get the file lit again and get into the studio and report on it. So, Debbie, I know you'll hackles a rippling with something's going to happen over the Christmas period. Let's see what happens or what doesn't.

But if necessary, I'm sure we can do something. We'll see. Have a great Christmas. Have a good Christmas and bye bye from all of us. Yes, bye, bye.
