UK Column News Podcast 7th April 2025

Good afternoon and welcome to UK Column News. Today is Monday the 7th of April 2025, just after 1:00. I'm your host, Brian Garish and delighted to have with me in the studio Ben Rubin. And we've got Diane Rasmussen Mckelly joining us by live video link. What a day. And viewers today get a glimpse of a wonderful outlook on Plymouth Sound with blue sea, blue sky and a lot of sunshine. So really lovely backdrop today, which we're delighted to have. Now we're going to get started

right away with the subject we've talked about before, which is the rapidly approaching state crackdown on free speech. And this is something that if we don't tackle this properly, then UK column itself is under grave threat because there is no doubt the agenda is for the British state to control all press and media. Over to you, Ben. Thank you, Brian. Hey, everyone. And we're going to pick up on a theme that we were exploring last week and actually not just last week.

We talked about this all the time and it is the audacious takeover of the national, regional and local news through philanthropic funding, government intervention and an overbearing and increasingly censorious media regulator. Last week we were looking at this report from Demos Epistemic Security 2029, Fortifying the UK information supply chain to tackle the democratic emergency. Too long didn't read it. Basically, they want more powers to censor you.

The Online Safety Act is not enough and they want more powers. And we're going to explore that with specific reference to something that they call news deserts, interestingly, which is a term that emerged in this report. We're going to look at where

that's come from. So if we go back to that and jump to Page 30, which is about boosting our domestic information supply chain, specifically Section 4B, I know you all went and downloaded this, so if you've got it in front of you, you can go and read it. So 4B provides targeted funding to stimulate a new era of vibrant local news in what they call news deserts.

That's what this is about. And the recommendation is for central government to provide a funding package, blended with other sources of funding, EG from philanthropists and big tech funds, to help stimulate a new era of vibrant local news, starting at £50 million a year and focusing on what they describe as news deserts. Right.

So we've got these news deserts all around the UK and in order to fill them, to bring them back to life, philanthropists, the government and big tech have got to come together and inject a load of money into this. I wonder if any of that will be coming in our direction. I'm not, I'm not sure it comes

from this organisation. This is based on some work done by Public Interest News Foundation who worked very closely with Demos. They referenced 3 times in the report and we're going to look at them and what they're all about. So this is their website, they've been around for five years, and obviously they're a nonprofit, nonpartisan, purely altruistic organisation focused on the public interest. And what does public interest

news mean? I think it's important for us to define this given it's what we're talking about here. Going to read this whole thing out, actually. Remember, we'll dwell on each of these points. So public interest news is news and other information which is produced and disseminated to the public according to high standards of ethical conduct and best practise in journalism and which provides one or more of the following benefits to the

public. First one informs members of the public about matters of relevance to their role and responsibilities as citizens. So this is what you've got to do. Citizen. Yeah. Second point enables members of local communities to become aware of and understand matters of common concern to them as members of their community, and which promotes their involvement and cooperation in such matters and community cohesion accordingly.

Yeah, So you got to know what do you got to do and you got to be cooperative with it. And you got to do it, otherwise you're going to be in trouble. So this is direct control of communities and individuals by the government. Absolutely right. Third Point enables members of the public to participate in an informed manner in relevant

democratic processes. So I'm thinking maybe citizens assemblies are lurking behind this and as a result supports the legitimacy of the democratic process as a whole. That's an important one there. 4th Point benefits the public by promoting charitable educational outcomes such as improving public understanding of health and medical matters like

pandemics, I guess. So this is you're, you're going to be told what you need to believe, and if you don't believe the official narrative, you're going to be in trouble. Absolutely all the conservation of the environment. So that's the climate agenda, pandemics and climate in that fourth point. Final point specifically excludes material which is simply entertaining in nature like UK column. We just entertainment or politically motivated, biassed or inaccurate.

So no disinformation or which fall or which fails to observe a person's right to privacy, right. So those things aren't public interest news. And apparently, according to Public Interest News Foundation, there is a desert. There are deserts all around the country of public interest news. And they've built this quite impressive interactive map you can go and look at and they've collated across the whole country where they see deserts, spaces where there is no reliable information for

communities to access. And, and one of those actually interesting. I've had a little look at Plymouth. I thought we should look at PL-1, see what's going on PL-1. And bear in mind they've looked at all media. Yeah, this is an extraordinarily in depth study, right. So we apparently we've got 2-3 media organisations in Plymouth, Plymouth Chronicle, Plymouth Herald, funded by UK government. Now look at the bottom left. This is funded by the UK government, but what's happening

in Plimpton? There's nothing happening in Plimpton. It's. Quite amazing. But we're seeing in Plimpton now, Brian, why are we not on the map? Because we're not giving the right news. That's because we're simply entertainment purposes, aren't we? We're not serious, right? So apparently no UK column. There's no UK column on your interactive map. Public interest news. The government clearly didn't pay you enough money. So anyway, what else are they up to other than looking at news

deserts? Well, importantly, how to fill them? And they were commissioned by this other organisation, the local News Commission, which is actually just the same people. Basically. They always do this. They set up a new independent thing, but it's all the same people in the background. But this local news Commission popped up towards the end of last year, drawing on deep expertise from UK civil society, politics, trade unions and business to shape media policy.

They Commission this report and within it they look at the current state of media, right. So this is the media ecosystem they've mapped out. Go download the report. By the way, we will always provide links to these things. You should go and read them yourself. And this is what they call democracy in danger, right? And you can see the key the the different coloured arrows represent unhealthy for red, weak for yellow, or healthy for green. And if they're thicker, that

means higher engagement. So you can see that the BBC has got a healthy but low engagement relationship with fragile communities at the top. Communities are fragile at the moment because the BBC is talking to them. You've got a fragile local news in the centre there which the

BBC is also talking to as well. So there's a just a one way relationship between the BBC because the local news obviously look at what the BBC is saying and then they report that and then central government's got a bit of a role to play. Local councils have got a weak and one way relationship with local news, But the the big the big red flag is the top left

there. Yes, big tech, the the, the big bad, dangerous Internet and Elon Musk and Andrew Tate and and, and where where Dragons are, you know, out online, you know, and that's causing fragile communities and ultimately it's causing democracy to wither. You know, if you see there in the top right hand corner, democracy is withering and we're going to fix this. How are we going to fix it? We're going to move to this model.

This is 2035. This is Democracy regenerated, where the BBC has a much stronger and more collaborative relationship with local news media through the Local Democracy Reporting Scheme, which is already in place.

They want to bump that up. Central government has a more engaged role with local news media, something called the Civic Centre. I don't know if you clocked that, but they've actually changed from a town hall to a Civic Centre. So the local council is going to be a new form of local council in this model by 2025, and the local council is going to have a much more direct relationship with these empowered communities at the top. So will the community newsroom. There's a new entrant,

philanthropy. Yeah. Centre left is going to be a lot of money and a lot of influence coming into this ecosystem from philanthropy. Rich people, right? This is Money and power colluding with each other in order to take control of the media ecosystem, in order to, as these they see it, empower community so that democracy might flourish, Right? What could possibly go wrong? And the big tech ecosystem has

been tamed. Yeah, We can see that it's now been regulated and restrained and is much more trustworthy ultimately. You know, my comment on this, Ben, is of course the moment you let local councils loose with news, all that's simply going to come out is more of the mainstream political propaganda. Because of course local councils are now highly politicised. They only follow the lead from

the controlling party. So if it's a Labour council, it's going to be Labour propaganda and if it's a Conservative council it's going to be Conservative propaganda. So this is immensely dangerous. I can imagine that a Second World War Germany would have been desperate to be able to buy and facilitate this type of of system in order to get propaganda to the individual 24 hours a day. This. This is really serious stuff and people need to understand if this architecture comes into

place. Free speech in this country? Absolutely gone. Completely. And guess who funded this report so well? This actually. So who funds Public Interest News Foundations to be absolutely on the button about this? So Ben Goldsmith, Jimmy Goldsmith's son. So he's in the philanthropy bucket. DCMS.

So like the Department for Culture, Media and Sport have funded this report, this organisation, the European Media and Information Fund, Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust, Illuminate, which is Daniel Sachs Foundation. They've got money in there, open societies, Paul Hamlin, all the usual suspects. Basically the NHS because obviously we need to pay attention to public health information. That was in the definition of public interest media, wasn't it? Right. So that's that's who's pushing

this. Yeah. So government and philanthropy want more involvement in media. So they funded a report to make that exact recommendation. It's a bit circular, isn't it? Who's behind Public Interest News Foundation? Some of the individuals. So we've got Julius Weinberg, he's the chair, former chair of Ofsted, interestingly for a number of years, Polly Curtis from Demos, she's the deputy chair of this organisation.

So Demos uses Public Interest News Foundation as an external source of recommendations to put into its report. But actually the person who runs Demos is on the board of the Public Interest News Foundation. It's all a bit incestuous, isn't it? Who else? Richard Scorer. This is a fascinating one,

right? So he's a solicitor and he ran the independent inquiries, public inquiries into child sexual abuse, the Manchester Arena bombing, the COVID-19 inquiry, the 3rd Wall inquiry, which is Lucy Letbe, and the inquiry into the death of Dawn Sturgess, which is the Novichok

issue. So that man there, Scorer, he's basically one of the primary representatives of establishment narrative around some of the most controversial issues that have happened in the past 20 years and he's on the trustee board of this organisation wanting to control local news media. Isn't that a bit odd? But not if your agenda is total control, state control of all media and press. Yeah, quite. OK, So this is these are the trustees. So these are non execs essentially.

Let's have a look at a few of the exec team again. Go and look at the website yourself. First one, Jonathan Hayward, he is the executive director, former editor of the Fabian Review. That's his big claim to fame. So Fabian's right in the mix. He was. He's also a leadership fellow at Saint George's House in Windsor. So, so nestled up right next to the royal family. Jowdeep Katwala, he's the network manager, former BBC Channel 4 UN, you get the

picture. And then the girl on the end there is a fascinating 1 Samir Padania. So he's involved with Open Society Foundations, the Welcome Trust with Nestor and also the International Fund for Public Interest Media that I spoke about about a month ago, I think it was when Mark Thompson is on the board, right? So this is a local news, but he's linked right up into the stratosphere in the in the global ecosystem around this.

And he's also a trustee of something called the Indigo Trust. And if you remember this bloke, William Perrin OBE last week, the guy that helped found Demos, not demos found Ofcom, sorry, worked for Blair. He's got a thing called the Indigo Trust that he's actually a founder of that guy Pedania. He's a trustee of that trust. So this is all just can interconnected. It's just all the same page, just one thing. Yeah. And it gets presented as as many things extraordinarily corrupt. Yeah.

And dishonest. Yeah. It's the they're lying to us, frankly, about their intentions and their methods. How? The system works, but it's a revolving door. Yeah, and you've got one more here, I think. Yeah, I do indeed, just very quickly just to to look at how this is actually coming to life in practise. So this is a case study from the Public Interest News Foundation website aboutipswich.co.uk and I'll just pull out two quotes from the article. Ipswich doesn't need more

journalism, it needs change. And also 22 organisations fund our journalism through an annual fee. We call this a common purpose, Levy, I think says quite a bit. That's just going to be a coincidence, I think, Ben.

Well, let's move across to the so called mainstream or better known as the legacy media. And of course for many people through that letterbox dropped to Sunday Mail yesterday. Let's have a look at the front page. It says that Labour's Dan Norris, suspended by party chiefs of the police, swoop on his West Country constituency home. Stormer robbed his MP held in

rape and child abuse probe. Now The thing is that front page goes to Labour's Dan Norris, but nothing about Dolphin Square child abuse, which I understand is stalled at the moment in the Daily Mail editorial queue. But thankfully smaller outlets that do exist have been doing some good work in the background. And although we have known about this for a while, it's only been now that it was appropriate for us to point you to your your local guardian.

And there is an address there on the the on screen image so that you can find it where the headline was. What do we know for sure about the Elm Guest House scandal? Now, this was a guest house where men were going not only for homosexual sex, but children were involved and in the mix. A lot of people involved with the police and indeed the security services. But this local reporter, Charles Thompson, has produced an absolute fantastic obstacle.

And I'm going to encourage people to go and see it. But it includes some excerpts from documents. Here's the Met Police total policing, and it's talking about the way people were behaving in this particular accommodation. They were watching homosexual pornographic videos. And it gets very mucky indeed in some of these. So I'm not going to go into huge detail in today's news except to say go and read the detail because this is about the sexual

abuse of principally young boys. But my point is that whilst the Mail on Sunday is printing a front page about Dan Norris MP, the in the the role of the state and the Metropolitan Police and indeed an MI 5 agent in respect to their own guest house and the subsequent cover up that goes unreported. Now, there was a second report by this same man, Charles Thompson. He says that the IOPC won't publish the Elm Guest House police officer statements.

So it's well known now that there are a lot of statements by police that have not been brought forward and put in front of the public. Why not now? Because there's a very big cover up by the one of the police watchdogs. So if we have a look at some comment from the article, it says a police watchdog has refused to release documents about a paedophile ring investigation despite publicly relying on them to dismiss serious corruption allegations. And that's corruption in the

police. The Independent Office for Police Conduct has suppressed witness statements gathered in its reinvestigation of the notorious Elm Guest House, a Richmond brothel. That's a homosexual brothel where a national inquiry ruled in 2020 that child sexual abuse took place. So if we have a look at this organisation, of course they're they've got a glowing website about how good they are. We're the Independent Office for Police Conduct. We are the Police Complaints.

What watchdog for England and Wales. We're not the police. We are completely independent. Well, we'll see about that in a minute. We investigate the most serious complaints and conduct matters involving the police and we set the standards by which the police should handle complaints. And of course they like to say, as usual, that their vision is that everybody is able to have trust and confidence in the police.

But it's very clear this organisation is helping the cover up of key evidence, including key evidence from police officers demonstrating that children, especially very young boys, were raped and seriously sexually abused in our guest house. But they don't want this coming to the surface. Let's just have a look at a little video clip of the IOPC bigging up itself and its role.

Following a series of scandals involving the Metropolitan Police and criticism of a perceived lack of independence in the existing complaints process, the Police Complaints Board was created by an Act of Parliament in June 1977.

The 1981 Brixton riots and the Scarman Report on allegations of racism in the police led to pressure to reform the Police Complaints Board as part of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. The board was replaced by the Police Complaints Authority in April 1985.

Following the murder of Stephen Lawrence in April 1993, public confidence in policing was again questioned, So William Mcpherson's public inquiry into Stephen's murder called for the creation of a new independent watchdog to oversee and investigate Police Complaints. In addition, a study in 2000 by Liberty, the human rights organisation, argued for an independent body to investigate Police Complaints.

This was followed by the Police Reform Act of 2002, which, among other policing changes, replaced the Police Complaints Authority with a completely independent investigatory body. The Independent Police Complaints Commission became operational in 2004 and replaced the Police Complaints Authority. It had greater powers and its own team of investigators to probe the most serious incidents.

The IPCC had doubled in size between 2013 and 2018 and structural changes were needed to better suit a much expanded organisation. In January 2018, the IPCC became the Independent Office for Police Conduct. In 2020, the police complaint system was reformed to make it simpler and more effective. The IOPC received new powers, including the ability to investigate without a referral from a police force. A greater emphasis was placed on taking the learning from complaints to help improve

policing practise overall. So a mind blowing little video and of course music or a throbbing beat in the background to destroy your brain as you watch it. But let's look at some of the people involved in this pernicious, so called independent organisation. And the person I'll focus in on is Rachel Watson, who was appointed Director General of the organisation in April 2024.

Independent. Ben, if we have a look at what they say about themselves, that Rachel has significant public service experience having worked in the heart of government for more than 20 years. This includes A decade working at the Home Office where she was policing director for five years. So somebody who has been part of the system that has failed is then brought forward to so called police, the police in their failings to date.

This can't be accidental. Now in the UK column event on Saturday, when we were talking about the deep state and indeed the failings of the deep state, one of the points that I made to the audience was effectively that our security services keep telling us they're listening to us to keep us safe. But if we start to look at the agencies themselves and what their key people do, we learn something rather different.

So this is from the Secret Intelligence Service website where they're talking about Sir Richard Moore, the 17th so called sea. And what he has to say is that he's there to help preserve the rules based international system. So they didn't know anything about the widespread abuse of children, including in our guest house where personnel from MI five were reported at the time

as being present. They simply didn't know any of this was going on. Now at the time, UK column reported heavily on what was going on with guest house, including Cyril Smith, high ranking police, a leading tycoon, a National Front member, Sinn Fein Royal household official, an MI, five officer, pop stars and originally some of the former spies in this country. And the other thing we pointed out is the people warning about this abuse were ultimately threatened by Special Branch.

So I'm going to say this is a big thing in the background and it is coming to the surface. But of course, the other thing the column reported on was the cover up of this abuse by David Cameron's Conservative government. One of the things to note in this very busy diagram is NSPC. Sorry NNSPCC. And that links back into the front page of the Mail report. And that Labour MP reads the

article to understand why. But also, of course, what we're seeing here is the abuse of young children in Dolphin Square, where there was also a massive cover up, but apparent, excuse me, apparently the Metropolitan Police and our security services don't know anything about it. Now just to end the segment by a little bit of focus back on the failure of the established media. If we have a look at just one of the internal pages from That Sunday Mail, it is complete comic.

We've got a mixture of a lovely story about the king. We've got crass politics being mixed with cheap films, we've got Elton John and Loose Women and we've got a headline about a nervous British company called Land Rover. But of course you have to read the article to understand it's not British, it's Indian. And of course, this is where it takes everybody is a double page spread where we are accused of having the problems, the mental health problems because of

things we've done wrong. When in fact what the Daily Mail is doing by printing this dross, in my opinion, is absolutely attacking people's minds. Now, Diane, welcome to today's News. And one of the things that we'd like to stress to our audience is that aside from the videos that go out, the news programmes and the interviews, there's a huge amount of information in the articles. And today you wanted to draw people's attention to some of those articles. Welcome.

Yes, hello, Brian, Hello Ben. It's good to be here today even though I'm still quite tired from the weekend.

The first thing that I want to point out is a section on sexualisation and indoctrination of children. And I'll be going through some other articles and some other reporting that we've been doing in our written articles later in the news. But as the sort of the new editor for written material on the UK Common website, I do want to say there's quite a bit out there going back years and years, well before we were even producing videos and and

interviews. So what I wanted to say first of all, is that there has been several pieces of, of, I guess you could say several parts of this whole story of sexualization of children, which I've been covering for some time and will continue to do so until it goes away. And one of these that have been put out most recently has included, for example, articles from Martin Edwards on the, what he calls education subjugation, particularly focusing on Wales and Hugh McCarthy in Northern Ireland.

Now, of course, these all line up together because they are all following the same globalist policy, which I'm going to talk about here just in just a minute. Huge three part series is called What they didn't want to hear the continued sexualization of our children. Part 1 of the series considered the wider issues affecting education. What is education for exactly?

And what we're seeing more and more in the schools is that they're going away from teaching subjects such as geography, maths, reading, and going into social emotional learning, sexualization of children that like I said, and all about feelings, all about relationships, all about these things that are not the things that we would think children should be learning and how to do things and how to learn things

and how to think. So that was Part 1, Part 2, considered the promotion of gender ideology. And in this one he went specifically into globalist policies, particularly from the World Health Organisation. And that so we're seeing from The Who that they're telling us what children around the world must be taught.

And just to quote a little bit from the article, which quotes directly from the policy, is that their approach to sexuality on children is summed up by this statement, which is then the the policy documents a child is understood to be a sexual being

from the beginning. The guidance that's given for children ages 6 to 9 recommends A curriculum concept which includes sexual intercourse, gender orientation, sexual behaviour of young people, enjoyment and pleasure when touching a woman's body, including masturbation and orgasm. For ages 9 to 12, the content includes again, pleasure, masturbation, orgasm, how to enjoy sexuality in an appropriate way, their first sexual experience. So for ages 9 to 12. Part 3 summarises parental rights.

And in Northern Ireland in particular, they're, they're a bit fortunate because it's in their law within their developed nation that parents have the right to say what doesn't, does not go into the curriculum. We don't have that right explicitly in the other three devolved nations in the UK. And he asked a question in this article that parents frequently asked, which is how did we get to this point in the 1st place?

And I would argue that it goes back to again, that right now the globalist policy that they're saying all over the world, we should be doing this to think about. I want to go a little bit deeper into what he covered in Part 3, which is kind of the background to what we call gender affirming care. Or as I some people I've seen same even more directly genital affirming care rather than

gender. And if we go back to a professor called Tiala, she is an adolescent psychiatrist at Tempura University in Finland. And she talked about how she went back on her previous work where she came up with was part of the group that came across this protocol just called the Dutch protocol for gender affirming care for young people. So what she said in just a couple of years ago, she said that she knows now gender affirming care is dangerous. I know because I helped pioneer it.

My country and others found that there's no solid evidence supporting the medical transitioning of young people. And this of course goes along with the cast review in the UK, which came directly as a commissioned report from the NHS in England. And a lot of people are still saying it's transphobic and so on. But what's happening is that what what he points out is that the previous work is now dated, that it's based on research that

is out of date. It's flawed, has problems and countries around the world and clinicians and so on. And, and the the parents who are letting their children mutilate their bodies before they even turn 16 or 18 years old is based on research that is no longer in date.

It goes back to you. For example, the 2011 paper which was in the child and adolescent Psychiatric Clinics of North American Journal. And this goes into the Dutch protocol saying that in the Netherlands, gender dysphoric adolescents may be eligible for puberty suppression at age 12, hormone treatment at age 16, cross sex hormone treatment and gender reassignment surgery at 18.

And it goes through the various steps from the psychological interventions all the way up to the the medical mutilation, do you want to say that of children's bodies and how these steps go through? And that was back in 2011.

But now in April 2024, I went back and found in the Journal of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry that they have said that the European Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Association, the society says now that they are calling for healthcare providers not to promote experimental and unnecessarily invasive treatments with unproven psychosocial effects, and therefore to adhere to the first do no harm principle.

Finally, this organisation insists that respect for all kinds of different views and attitudes is an essential part of an ongoing open professional debate that we wish to stimulate. So we're seeing again that even though the globalist policy says, well, that, you know, the Dutch protocol from 2011 is what we are looking at.

But now in 2024 and and and even more recently, this is continuing to be the case that the people are saying this is not what we should be doing because we don't know the harm that we are doing to young people, which of course we are. And and just a little bit more on efforts toward indoctrination. The Scottish Union for Education, which people will know.

I'm a member of the editorial board for that, where we're doing work against education, that indoctrination, which is the theme of the logo, sort of that we have follow in SUV. Kate Deeming, who is the coordinator of the parents group. She wrote an article that about the burial collection, which is a museum based in Glasgow and she visited it and talked about somebody LGBT doctrine, nation and so on that is present currently in the artefacts and the description of the artefacts.

And there's a whole report about this that you can read a leak to. This will be in the show notes. And two examples that she used in her article, for example, was the figure of Guan Yen. And that description says quote Kuan Yan has always represented the basic human values of compassion and kindness. Trans people deserve respect and understanding trans rights or human rights be more Guan Yan. And the other one is a dish showing the broader of them of state Sebastian from 1500 to 1600.

Quote Initially a religious figure, St Sebastian came to be seen as a gay icon as LGBT age. I don't know what that is. Members we've looked at why this might be. The arrows fired into his body are like words that can still prick us as LGBTQI plus individuals. In art and film, St Sebastian is often shown as a beautiful young man appealing to gay culture. LGBTQI plus experiences are very diverse. Who is your icon?

And and as a result of some a conversation that I had over the weekend with Auk column member down in Cheltenham, I was reminded I'd actually learned for the first time, I guess I should say, because it's been years since I've read Brave New World. I didn't remember this. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was originally published in 1932, written in 1931. And there's a there's a portion of this book in the first few pages. There's a conversation between some children in the book.

It was between the director of hatcheries and conditioning and some children and the director said, what I'm going to tell you now, he said may sound incredible, but then when you're not accustomed to history, most facts about the past do sound incredible. He left, he let out the amazing truth. For a very long period of time before the time of our Ford, and even for some generations afterwards, erotic play between children had been regarded as

abnormal. There was a roar of laughter, and not only abnormal, actually immoral, no, and had therefore been rigorously suppressed. A look of astonishing tragicity appeared on the faces of his listeners. Poor little kids, not allowed to amuse themselves. They could not believe it. Even adolescents, the DHC was saying, even adolescents like yourselves. Not possible. Barring a little surreptitious auto erotism and homosexuality, absolutely nothing.

Nothing in most cases, till they were over 20 years old. 20 years old, echoed the students in a chorus of loud disbelief. 20 the director repeated. I told you that you'd find it incredible. But what happened? They asked. What were the results? The results were terrible. So back in 1931, Aldous Hoxley was writing that it would be terrible for people to wait until they were 20 years old or so to start engaging in sexual

activity. And I guess we're that's kind of what we're seeing playing out now. But we when we trace back the history, we see that this is not a new agenda. And I want to suggest that perhaps this is something that they've been thinking about for a long time, Brian. Diane, thank you very much for that. And I think that's a very astute statement that there's lots of clues if we go back in time, but we're in the age we are and we have to fight the battle in the

time 2025 at the moment. We have to fight the battle today, but we can only fight that battle if we understand what's actually being done. Let's move on.

So as always, we like to thank our audience and everybody that supports US financially through donations as a member. But if you're not sure how to get involved with the UK column, have a look at the web page, have a look at donations or monthly memberships, annual memberships or a lifetime subscription. And of course you can help us by making a purchase through the shop. And we have got health products via Clyde to call and we make a small percentage on sales through Clive.

Now the key thing for us is that we're putting out information for people to share to get the information and the facts out. And you can help us do that if you pass on the material. Please give the UK column A mention. Now tomorrow we've got a fantastic interview which Charles Mallett did with Jonathan Marshall. Thinking with your heart. This is essentially about fighting the anti nature agenda and that's it. So that's Tuesday the 8th of April at 1:00.

And I know it's a really, it's a really interesting interview and Hawks and horses come into it. So there's a lot to this. And if you need a bit of relaxation in understanding what's happening, that is probably one of the interviews to have a look at now. We're delighted to be able to say that today we have a little report from our weekend conference, the Deep State, that took place in Cheltenham. It was a fantastic day. We enjoyed it. Everybody who spoke to us said they enjoyed it.

And my goodness, some fantastic speakers. Let's have a look at this video report. Thanks to Gemma Cooper and the the media team that were with us. From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was buzzing. More than 300 people had travelled to Cheltenham to hear UK columns take on the deep state. Some had even travelled as far as Australia and the United States to hear what our speakers had to say.

Delegates enjoyed tea, coffee, snacks and socialising before settling into their seats for a day of mind blowing information. Our speakers didn't disappoint. It was one truth bomber after another. First up was activist and campaigner Raj Amir. He kicked off with an explosive expose about institutionalised corruption. He got a standing ovation. Raja was followed by UK columns very own editor and Co founder Brian Garish. He revealed information he's never told anyone before until

now. This is sedition, this is treason, we were told. What were the security services doing? Where were they? I think they were complicit. With the deep state firmly in focus, delegates were treated to their very own UK column, Doughnut in the break, a nod to the odd shaped building just up the road which houses the British security and intelligence agency GCHQ. Were they listening in today?

What do you think? The breaks also gave an opportunity to buy books and merchandise from specially invited guests and, perhaps most importantly of all, the chance to talk to fellow audience members and forge new friendships. But soon it was back to the action, with Alex Thompson talking about his time at GCHQ and giving his insights about the British establishment. Then lunch, a chance to chew over the mornings content and reflect. What do you think of the events

so far today? I'm really enjoying it. Yeah. Very insightful, particularly Raja this morning. Really, really enjoyed that. Quite harrowing actually. And I say enjoy. It's not quite enjoy, but you know what I mean. Yeah, I think it's been exceptionally well organised. Look forward to the next one. Wonderful day, sun is shining

and everyone chatting. And I think, you know, I noticed that at Bristol where we didn't have access to outdoor space, but here, you know, that adds a certain expansiveness to discussion. And yeah, I mean, how wonderful it is just to be surrounded by people with whom one can turn effortlessly and say a joke or make a reference, you know, and not check yourself, not second guess your interlocutor, that

kind of thing. There is a real ease in that and I think we only discover it when we come here. We can see the sky, can't we? And there's no chemtrails. It's quite nice. But yeah, it's brilliant. It's just, it's worth every penny. Look at the people, you know, It's just a bunch of wonderful misfits of mad uncles and aunts and fathers and whatever else, and certain mothers. And it's, yeah, it's just joy.

Absolute joy. After lunch, AUK column panel discussion with questions from the audience, then a much anticipated presentation from Patrick Henningson. A recent return to UK columns Friday afternoon news show after a stint away he went down a storm. The final speaker of the day was GCHQ whistle blower Catherine Gunn. She too had the audience on their feet. There was an extraordinary presentation running off an extraordinary day, but it wasn't

over yet. Ticket holders joined the UK column team and our speakers for an evening buffet, social and some music. A chance to relax with like minded people. These sorts of events are massively important to bring people together. For me, that's what it's all about. Is, is finding people. And it's, yeah, it's really been lovely today. Really enjoyed it.

The unanimity you get when people get together, which you can't get on a screen, it's just so important and it's what I think most of the the big dogs fear because when we're together and working together and thinking together, we're much more dangerous than if we're behind screens and just a number of followers behind somebody who's bringing across a message. So it's hugely important. It's spiritually good for us all, I think, and it makes you think that you're not alone.

And that may be that we can, we can fight some of this madness, this stone at us if we all stick together. The presenters and the the interviewees, the interviewers, they all do a fantastic job and you can just talk to them like they're your friends and always have been your friends at an event like this. The team themselves, I'm so impressed with their their big hearts, actually.

You can feel the authenticity, the love and the respect that they have for each other, the care for humanity and what's going on in the world, and the pursuit of the truth. I'm always blown away by the sort of phenomenal research that they all do, their knowledge. It's really quite extraordinary and I think they're in a league of their own. The raw honesty and clarity that they provide I think is is

priceless. If only all media was like that, maybe we wouldn't be in the mess that we're in. UK column saved my life. And B, it's important because of the camaraderie is here. The number of people that have come up and said hello, that have, you know, we've always spoken to in chat for a long, long time to actually meet them and to share the whole origin story and your experiences and the information that UKC gives us.

It just takes it to a different level and you can't get that on chat and you can't get that through a screen. You've got to be here, folks, to experience it. The event was so successful, plans are now underway for the next UK column on location in the autumn and a residential weekend next year. Gemma Cooper, The UK column in Cheltenham. Well, there we are, a wonderful event and of course, more plans. So if you didn't come to that one, stay with us because you'll have the opportunity in the

future. Now I'd also say that if you didn't see Saturday's event, you weren't there. So that's still available as a live stream which you can get through the UK Column website. That's £20 for non members, 18 lbs for UK column members. But the next best thing to have a look at that live event. Now, Diane, let's bring you back

with us because you've got more to say about material that's been up on the UK Column and the good work of our authors of the the written reports. Yes, thanks, Brian, that, that was a wonderful video too. I'm kind of overwhelmed by the compliments that we just received in that video. I've just seen it for the first time.

That was amazing. But I also want to make sure that again, because I'm working with so many wonderful authors that have given us a lot of written content for our website as well, to make sure that all of these are highlighted. And, and also because I have some additional information to add for another article that was published recently. Because it's a real pleasure for me as the editor to be working with our authors when they're topics that I know about and can

maybe make suggestions. Although of course, we're completely free speech platform when it comes to their work. But I do want to mention just as well since I've taken over in February that we have published several written articles that you can find if you search the UK column website. And we'll provide some links as well.

And the show notes of these range all the way from Replacement Migration written by Simon Elmer, which is actually a republication of part of his own book that he published before this was in the UK column website. We have an article from Mark Anderson about Guernsey, the tiny island that beat the big bankers for 20 years of monetary

free freedom. We have articles from Charles Mallett including Farmers Protest the Wrong Target And then earlier one another article called COVID Vaccines and New Mechanisms of Serious Pathology by Doctor Mike Williams. An article about Mark Carney, who's the new technocratic globalist Prime Minister of Canada Post Democracy in Germany, about the constitutional crisis happening in Germany. That's by Yogs Land Grieba.

We have an article, another article with Charles called the Church of England in the room with Big Tech. And the one that that as just from a couple of days ago, the evolution of the serial chemical weapons narrative on the road to Gouta. That's Part 2 of the Chemical weapons as a narrative series by Doctor Pierce Robinson. And finally, the one that I want to focus on is 1 by Martin Edwards called the Great Transition and NGO Alliances trading a course towards the rocks of Net 0.

And the reason I want to talk about this one is because there is a lot of information in this article, but there is also some information that I want to provide that kind of contextualises what he's done with it and where it can potentially go the further you dig deeper. And this is what I think we're so good at it.

You can call them, but not just me obviously, but all of us that we go deeper than the typical media and even articles and videos that sometimes viewers send to us from other non mainstream sources, even if they are alternative or independent

sources. I would have to say that a lot of them I personally wouldn't use in my own reporting because they don't go that far into the depths that we go into to kind of figure out where things actually come from and, and to look at the original sources as well.

So actually looking at policy documents and, and we, so we are able to stay away from all of these sensationalism and all of the, oh, look at this, this is really scary and exciting because we're going to actual sources and no one can dispute us even if they try to. So in this article by Martin Edwards, he talks about the Planetary Health Alliance as an organisation which is, quote, a consortium of over 480 universities, non governmental organisations, research

institutes and government entities from 80 plus countries around the world. And I'm just going to read a little a couple of bits from this article so that you can see

where I'm going to with this. Its origins can be traced to 2015, when the Rockefeller Foundation and Lancet Commission, which is The Lancet, which is the medical journal working with the Rockefeller Foundation on planetary health, published a report called Safeguarding Human Health in the Anthropocene Epic. In The Lancet journal, it defines Anthropocene. If you don't know this word already, if you do know it, that's great. If you don't, you need to catch up on your globalist

terminology. It is a proposed name for a new geological epic, demarcated as the time when human activities began to have a substantial global effect on the Earth's

systems. In the executive summary of this report, the authors talk about the Sustainable Development Goals and they say that reasons for help include the advent of the SDGS and the post 2013 Development Agenda which provided an important opportunity to to address these trends and to tackle health, social, environmental challenges and integrated ways. The part that's really interesting and what really got me going as not just an editor

but as a reporter. It discusses 4 alternative scenarios of future development that exemplify alternative worlds that might emerge from the present. The first two scenarios represent an evolution of conventional worldviews. For example, market forces exemplifies market centred growth oriented globalisation, whereas policy reform tells of a government ledge redirection of growth towards sustainability goals.

It says that the alternative scenarios presented in the report envisioned A fundamental restructuring of the global order, authoritarianism and fragmentation and fortress world and positive transformation in the great transition in which material consumption is reduced but is more equitable than the present and another report which is shorter that talks about this

great transition scenario. The future scenario, the Great Transition, can be found in a report from October 2021 from the Planetary Health Meeting. They met in Sao Paulo and while the rest of us were locked up under COVID restrictions, they decided to go to Sao Paulo and and talk about the planet. And they said at that time they called this fundamental shift in how we live in Earth the Great Transition.

Achieving this will require rapid and deep structural changes across most dimensions of human activity, including how we produce and consume food, energy, manufactured goods, how we construct and live in our cities, and how we consider and measure growth, progress and development and govern ourselves. It will take practitioners, scholars and policy makers across every dimension of human

activity working together. Now, the reason that was interesting was because they concluded their report talking about how else it's going to help us achieve the Great Transition. And when I saw that, I remembered a report that I did back in September 2024 about the United Nations Summit of the Future.

And working backwards from the summit of the future, which happened last year or in the last several months that I went back to a globalist, a little known globalist, but a very influential one called Doctor Paul Raskin from Yale University. And he was actually a member of the Club of Rome in the past. And we just found that out

recently. I want to go back and play a couple of clips to to show where this came from because the reports that were highlighted in Martin's report didn't really mention Paul Raskin, but he's the one in his organisation called the Telus Institute was the one that did this. So my question is, are the globalists plagiarising each other essentially? But let's play my clip that I showed back in September on the news first, please. When we discuss scenarios, we talk about 3 broad channels

radiating out into the future. One we call conventional worlds, basically an evolutionary sequence of events. Despite hiccups like the current meltdown that the basic paradigm and values persist into the future. The second channels barbarization, which markets and policies are unable to cope with the crises and the chaos and social disruption and the environmental deterioration that is induced by conventional worlds and you have futures of

catastrophic disruption. And the third we call great transitions, where people rise to the possibilities, to the promise of this planetary phase with new values and new institutions and steer in development steers towards a a more fortunate form of civilization. So he wrote a book in 20 or the Telus Institute, I guess, really wrote a book that was published in 2016 called Journey to Earth Land, in which he further sort of developed these ideas about

the great transition. And what he says is that global consciousness, cultural experimentation, popular struggles for peace, justice and sustainability urge a great transition, which tendency will dominate. So we have these different scenarios that we can choose from. And he said that the great transition after a period of gestation could rapidly unfold in a whirlwind of change. As dominant norms lose their sway and system elements and structures begin to crack.

The revolutionary moment will have survived. If well prepared, oppositional and visionary movements can influence the anatomy of the kind of Earth land that emerges

from the tumult. So let's play this next clip, which is from the same original video tried to have a plate on the news previously, which shows exactly what kind of Earth Doctor Raskin envisioned for us. Because humanity has found a way to balance the imperatives of global responsibility with diversity and pluralism in modes of culture and development. When we take our trips to outer space and we look back, we see

an integral blue planet. We don't see imaginary lines of States, and so that this globalism, the sense of the earth as a natural unit for a human organisation and identity, is some ways more profound than are the imaginary boundaries of of nation state. So he says in this book as well, going on, that the choices we make, the actions we take now before catastrophes erupt, old institutions crumble and new ones solidify our decisive for keeping progressive options

open. This news may be disheartening, comforting or inspiring, but cannot be ignored for that too, would be a choice. So, Brian, I just want to say that, you know, what we're hearing here and what we can see in these reports is that that Paul's actually talking about what the globalists want us to do, what to do with this agenda.

We talked about this constantly on the news, which is their ultimate goal, which is to destroy the nation state and have Earth be a big sort of blue and green BLOB of existence.

We've talked about this frequently and UK Common will continue to do so. But my point here is that if people want to go deeper into what we report on, a lot of this will be available in the written articles, which we simply just don't have time to do when we publish videos and news broadcasts for three hours a week. But if you want more depth, you can always go into this amazing art that we have of written reports. Diane, thank you very much for that.

An excellent point. Huge amount of material on the UK column website and we use it ourselves as an archive. Very often when we are reporting today, we go and look at what we were saying 1015 years ago. Ben, just to end off today's

news, everything is about utopia in the future. Mission 2025. Indeed, utopia in the future, the, the grand transition, the just and sustainable transition from one economic model to a new one, the political process that will facilitate it, exactly as described there by Diane. Thank you for that report. But I think they might be in trouble. And let's start off by looking at what they're up to with Mission 2025.

The UN climate conference COP 29 is taking place this week in Azerbaijan. It's a chance for international cooperation and to bridge the gap between world leaders and the private sector. I've been around London to hear from British businesses and experts to get their views on how we can work together towards a just, clean and prosperous transition. The good news is we are a global economy in a state of rendition. There's a huge appetite for investment in the next industrial revolution.

Businesses are absolutely at the Arrowhead. They are the innovators. They're going to make the change happen and they need support from the ecosystem. When it comes to climate change adaptation and resilience, institutional asset owners are really keen to play their. Part businesses understand the barriers, so listening seriously to them while our policymakers to steer towards a net zero

future. Most businesses are ready to run, but now they need governments to create supportive policy landscapes to help them act decisively. Climate change is still the world's biggest market failure. It runs the risk of destabilising the international geopolitical world order as well as financial markets. We're already going in the right direction, but now it's a question of how we move at the pace and scale required. Wind and solar are rising to new highs.

Industrial transformation is picking up pace. Restoring nature and transforming our food systems is both possible and increasingly profitable. Leaders are stepping up and speaking up, but we still need to move faster and leave no one behind. Lovely music always point to nothing. But it's money and power, power, money, money. They're super keen to invest in the next industrial revolution. This is a multi trillion global marketplace.

The City of London's lined up behind it and they want power, the policy makers to enable this programme. That's what's happening internationally. And as I said, I think they're in trouble. I'll come on to that in a minute. First thing is to note who's actually leading this.

So this lady in the centre there, that's Cristiano Figueres. She is involved in something called global optimism and she's one of the main voices in the climate movement, involved with the World Bank and the UN and recently was at the Palace, which we can see here to receive a ADBE. She's a Dame now, right? So this is, as ever linked very closely into the British establishment. You can get a bit more background on her and I recommend that you do by going

to look at this article. So this is who exactly is Christiana? Forget it is, this is on the Winter Oak website. We'll provide a link to it. And she's leading this out on behalf of these people, right? This is the partner list on the Mission 25 website. And we can see in here some familiar names. You've got C40 cities, so we've got Sadiq Khan in there.

We've got the Bezos Earth Fund. We've got E3G based in London, which is like the global harb of all the new blueprints for the for the transition and new economy. They want us to move towards IKEA, a bunch of corporate money and we can see Planetary Guardians as Paul Pullman and the B team and then the Club of Rome pop up. Right. So this is exactly what Paul Raskin was just talking about earlier. And this is the actual mechanics of how this marketplace is

delivering this transition. It's how they're driving this thing forward. And this is the partnership that you're constantly talking about. Ben, I'll just say caught my eye at the bottom of the screen as it was scrolling up there. But you've got Unilever next to the University of Exeter. Now obviously that's that's just a coincidence that they're there. But universities next to global big business? Nothing to worry about,

apparently. Absolutely not. And Systemic also who are in the mix now. They just, they issued that that film was put out at Cop back in November. They just issued this back in January. This is the global Mutidau. Mutidau is a Brazilian term which is a community coming together to work on the shared task. And this is just a really neat piece of communication that I think sums up what they're doing, but also where they're at. And there's some hope in here for me. So they're saying that the

darkest outcomes before dawn. A new economy is rising, but we are at the centre of this new economy, our needs, aspirations and potential. When they say we, they mean them. Yeah, it's not us. This is the partner list that we just looked at. If you read what these people put out, every now and again, they betray exactly what they're up to. We're at the centre of this new economy. That's what they're saying. Yeah. And the power structure that's going to enable it.

What do they need to deliver? They're going to accelerate our energy and industrial revolution, protect our abundant natural world, ensure our future futures are financed. So all of this is about money. They're obsessed with this thing called climate finance and importantly, this final slide. This is what gives me hope. How we must respond. We got to end in fighting now. This is like an internal communication thing that they've put out.

I don't know if they expect other people to read this stuff right, but apparently they need to stop attacking allies and embrace different paths towards a shared vision. They all hate each other. Yeah, this is corporate politics. You've got people who've come up through the system by being ruthless and taking other people out, and now they're turning on each other, right? I think that they're struggling to implement their plans.

It says upgrade our tactics. You've got to stop broadcasting and start building a movement. So this is less about media, more about on the ground. Tailor our message, stop ignoring the audience and focus on what truly matters to people. And unfortunately, what matters to people has got nothing to do with the economic, technological and political transition that they're trying to force us into. Yeah. Right. Is that one? That's that's it Ben. I think we need to stop there

for today's news. We're always short of time because there is so much happening. But each UK column news, we try and get out as much as we possibly can to the audience. So let's end it there. Huge thank you to everybody who's joined us today. Wherever you are in the world, we're very grateful of your support. And the more viewers we get, the stronger UK column becomes. Now I just want to point out that Saturday's event was wonderful.

We're going to look to have another one in the autumn and next year is our 20th anniversary is UK column news and we're going to look to have a special weekend event. So stay with us for all of that. And my last comment is yes, we did invite the director of GCHQ to come and enjoy the day on her doorstep, but unfortunately she was much too busy to attend and actually discuss her work with the wider public. A great shame. Let's leave it there for members

of the UK column. Stay with us because we'll have UK Column Extra in just a few minutes. Bye bye.
