WEBVTT - A List of Bad Things The Queen Did (Before Dying)

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 1>Who's dying today. It's the Queen. It's the Queen. Well, correction,

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>she's not dying, she's she's dead, that lady dead. Yeah,

0:00:16.120 --> 0:00:21.680
<v Speaker 1>very sad, obviously, very sad. Grieving podcast today, brought to

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>you by It could happen here. It's all of us.

0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:27.319
<v Speaker 1>It's it's me, it's Get, it's Chris, it's Robert, and

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:29.680
<v Speaker 1>it's the ghost of the Queen. We're talking about the Queen.

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 1>She's dead. What's up with that? Yeah, she's real dead. Um,

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.080
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen. You know. What I haven't seen that

0:00:37.120 --> 0:00:40.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm disappointed of is a new version of the Monty

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Python Dead Parrot sketch involving her corpse and it's and

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>it's fancy casket. Um, but that's still time, still time

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>we can change that. Now. My question is, James, is

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that legal in the UK? Now? Absolutely not No, you

0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>will get so arrested, not even arrested. This is the

0:01:00.000 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>first part people have just like I don't understand what

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:04.479
<v Speaker 1>the fund is wrong with people, but they have become

0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>volunteer cops to like defend a guy who's been credibly

0:01:08.120 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>accused of pedophilia. And I am disappointed in us. Do

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>not be policing your fellow people for exercising some of

0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>the very few rights at the conservative well because everybody

0:01:19.880 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>has taken away from them. Actually, but yeah, you've only

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>let yourself down. I'm disappointed. Yeah, they they they really

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 1>really hating anyone who is not thrilled about the monarchy.

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>The arresting people of having not my king signs. I

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.320
<v Speaker 1>see that Jetwood is taking it to the fascist state,

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 1>which is great to see. But we're gonna be talking

0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>about the queen or former former queen. Um, I do

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>want to do want a note that you know, the

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.360
<v Speaker 1>day the Queen died, a big wave of condolences came in,

0:01:55.360 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>including from Domino's Pizza UK, which which if you understand,

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>the Queen had a very deep relationship with Dominoes. So

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:06.720
<v Speaker 1>this this does mean a lot. Um they were they were,

0:02:06.760 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>they were lovers. Among those who posted their condolences was

0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:17.959
<v Speaker 1>Hamilton's West End. The the Britain r MT, which is

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>like the British Railway unions, stopped their strike, which I

0:02:22.280 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>think is the most pissed at coward thing I've ever seen.

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:28.680
<v Speaker 1>The union do. British Cycling suggested that people not go

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>out for a bike ride during the time at the

0:02:30.560 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 1>Queen's are you fucking serious? My god, they're literally she

0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:42.280
<v Speaker 1>was six deal with including food. I think the funniest

0:02:42.320 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>one was labs Rob posted, everyone is deeply saddened by

0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>the passing of her badesty in the Queen and we

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:52.800
<v Speaker 1>offer our sincere condolences to the royal family. We joined

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:55.120
<v Speaker 1>together with the people of the United Kingdom and all

0:02:55.160 --> 0:02:57.720
<v Speaker 1>around the world and mourning her loss, which they then

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>which they then deleted an hour later. If there's one

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>thing that Mrs Rob is about, it's about people all

0:03:03.480 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 1>over the world mourning the loss of monarchy. It's the

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>main thing about it. So yeah, most of on Twitter

0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>was definitely it was definitely split between these companies posting

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.800
<v Speaker 1>how they're so sad that also a lot of people, uh,

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty pretty thrilled that the Queen died, because it's kind

0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>of funny because we were all shocked by the ninety

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:30.240
<v Speaker 1>five year old woman who died. She was so young.

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.840
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing she was. She was at an age that

0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>if you reversed her age and told me she had died,

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:40.920
<v Speaker 1>I still wouldn't have been surprised. Like she was at

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.360
<v Speaker 1>an age where like even if you flip the numbers.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>She's still old. Yeah, it's great to see the Telegraph

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>today running a headline five mile q too few and

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:54.119
<v Speaker 1>it's the second coffin. We'll see horrible stories of suffering.

0:03:56.560 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>This is a country where she said, will not be

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>able to heat their homes this winter. It's a country

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>good an explosion in food, insecurity, and this is what

0:04:06.920 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>we're doing. It's like like the British like, okay, so

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>the Crown did not call directly for a blood sacrifice.

0:04:14.160 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>The British people are just bound and determined to have

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 1>people die like that. They're lay They're like they're lining

0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>up in the streets to sacrifice themselves for the dead.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, magical things don't do us all that way.

0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.360
<v Speaker 1>There's some people sharing up with not my King signs

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:37.400
<v Speaker 1>and getting assaulted by mobs. And for most people, like

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 1>regular as people. Yeah, yeah, most people are not that concerned.

0:04:42.560 --> 0:04:44.880
<v Speaker 1>Most people are not like it's just like the Turfs

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:47.960
<v Speaker 1>in Britain. There are like a small minority of people

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:51.160
<v Speaker 1>who do nothing but tweet right for the Guardian, who

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>misrepresent the opinion to most British people who are not

0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:55.920
<v Speaker 1>that concerned. But like a lot of these British people

0:04:55.960 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 1>do show up in person and like shut down, like yes,

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>it's certainly, it's not It is not the case that

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>like there isn't widespread support for this kind of ship.

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>It's just that it's it's not uniform. That's people who

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>do speak The people who do speak up also tend

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:13.240
<v Speaker 1>to get arrested, which because it's just like it's it's

0:05:13.240 --> 0:05:17.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of amazing. It's like, okay, Britain got industrial capitalism

0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.560
<v Speaker 1>before like any other country on Earth, right, the bourgeoisie

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>has one job. One job there. One job is to

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.200
<v Speaker 1>destroy feudalism. And they couldn't even the British couldn't do it.

0:05:27.600 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 1>They had they had the largest head start of any

0:05:30.080 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>country on Earth, and they couldn't do it. It's incredible,

0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:37.840
<v Speaker 1>it's miraculous. They were co opted into these few elites

0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.960
<v Speaker 1>through things that the Great Reform Acts, which which use

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>property as a proxy for land or capitalist ap proxy

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.560
<v Speaker 1>for land, and it's worked remarkably well. And now we

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>just do false consciousness ship like this, like how good

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>is your false consciousness game? When people who can't heat

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>their homes are sleeping on the street to say goodbye

0:05:57.440 --> 0:06:01.400
<v Speaker 1>to presumably a billionaire who have a cat about them? Yeah,

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>it's like, yeah, who absolutely, who was not equipped emotionally

0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:11.120
<v Speaker 1>to have ever cared about them, Who's soul would never

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:13.240
<v Speaker 1>have allowed her to care about them? Yeah, I mean,

0:06:13.320 --> 0:06:15.479
<v Speaker 1>let's let's like, you know, as as lots of people

0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>were romanticizing the monarchy and the Queen and doing their

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:22.120
<v Speaker 1>like performative mornings, obviously there was a wave of other

0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>people being like, hey, you know, the royal family is

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:27.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of kind of sucked up. You know, they've stolen

0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:32.160
<v Speaker 1>billions of dollars and jewels from countries like India and

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:37.280
<v Speaker 1>across the South Africa. Um, they're continuing to benefit from

0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 1>Britain's history of colonialism. The earlier earlier this year, during

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>the during the during the Queen's jubilee celebration, an old

0:06:46.880 --> 0:06:51.719
<v Speaker 1>Kenyan revolutionary fighter used the used the the occasion to

0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:54.599
<v Speaker 1>call for an explanation from the Queen for why she

0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been compensated after being tortured with axes by British troops.

0:07:00.080 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>People should look at the way Britain treated the Mau Mau.

0:07:03.120 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna have stuff on this. I have stuff on

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:07.760
<v Speaker 1>this later for this episode. Actually we're gonna be talking

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 1>about that. Seventeen estimate found that the royal family is

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:17.440
<v Speaker 1>estimated to be worth eight eight billion dollars um. Yeah,

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of that's obviously not in straight up cash,

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>which is one of the ways like people are talking about, Oh,

0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>Charles inherited half a billion, No, Charles billions of dollars.

0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Like they own a lot of land. Yes, they owned

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:33.120
<v Speaker 1>a huge amount of land. Um. Charles has his own

0:07:33.200 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>real estate empire that he like created while he was

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>waiting for his mom to fucking croak um. And they

0:07:41.320 --> 0:07:45.920
<v Speaker 1>also have like a fortune and really actually uncountable, like

0:07:46.000 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you have to think about their wealth like the Vatican,

0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>Like there's no actual way, Like it's functionally limitless money

0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:56.040
<v Speaker 1>because so much of what they own is like priceless antiquities,

0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:59.080
<v Speaker 1>many of which were stolen from other people. Yeah, any

0:07:59.120 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>time to put angible number, and they're sort of their

0:08:01.760 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>value And that's sort of what if you want to

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>go to celebrity status, Yes, what is that fucking diamond

0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>in the goddamn crown worth? Right? Like there's no real

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>way to appraise that. Yeah. Well, and and I want

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>to point this out, like if they tried to sell

0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>the diamond almost certainly. What would happen is like the

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:17.680
<v Speaker 1>British people would give her three billion dollars and they

0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 1>give her the diamond back they funded, Yeah, they'd stopped

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:23.720
<v Speaker 1>doing the subsidies for heating that they've just started doing,

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and buy the diamond back. Here, let's talk about that.

0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.080
<v Speaker 1>Let's le let's talk about the heating thing briefly, because

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I think uh. An anchor on BBC was discussing how

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:38.040
<v Speaker 1>news of the Queen's passing basically interrupted all other news

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:42.599
<v Speaker 1>in the UK, UM including statements being given on the

0:08:43.160 --> 0:08:46.839
<v Speaker 1>price increase in energy bills and the rising cost of living,

0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 1>by stating that that those topics, that the topics of

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>cost of living and the rising energy bills was quote insignificant.

0:08:54.880 --> 0:08:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Now due to the gravity of this situation, we can

0:08:58.679 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>we can insert this clip here. I have I have

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.880
<v Speaker 1>it saved for Daniel because it's just it's wild. Doctors

0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:08.160
<v Speaker 1>in Scotland were concerned about the Queen's health coming um

0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>as liszt Trust was making a rather important statement concerning

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:17.600
<v Speaker 1>um the future of energy bills UM that of course insignificant.

0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:20.199
<v Speaker 1>Now given the gravity of the situation we seem to

0:09:20.240 --> 0:09:24.000
<v Speaker 1>be experiencing with her. Just an old lady died. She

0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.560
<v Speaker 1>was not a very nice old lady. I've known old

0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:29.040
<v Speaker 1>ladies who were nice that died and I was sad.

0:09:29.160 --> 0:09:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I've known old ladies who are night and not nice

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>that died, and I didn't really care in any case,

0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.840
<v Speaker 1>Like it's it's not it's not a big deal because

0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.839
<v Speaker 1>old people like, that's what human beings do when they

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.679
<v Speaker 1>reach ninety six, is they die a lot of the time.

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.880
<v Speaker 1>And it's it's okay, Like it's okay. Queen would see

0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.960
<v Speaker 1>that of everything about her, it's fine. Queen Elizabeth was

0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 1>the longest reigning monarch in the history of Britain. Yeah,

0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:57.319
<v Speaker 1>probably close to the longest. And like maybe Ramsey is

0:09:57.400 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>the fucking second is up there, like years, you don't

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.000
<v Speaker 1>run into a lot of competition in terms of links.

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:13.079
<v Speaker 1>Seventy years thrown at nineteen fifty two. Yeah, And it's

0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>worth a lot of old ladies are going to die

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>in Britain this winter because of the okay, And it's

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>also worth knowing that the Queen tried to use a

0:10:21.200 --> 0:10:23.520
<v Speaker 1>bunch of state poverty money that was emerged for schools,

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:26.280
<v Speaker 1>hospitals and low income families to pay bucking camp houses

0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:32.760
<v Speaker 1>heating bill. Oh wow, uh yeah, that's that's wild. That's great. Well,

0:10:32.760 --> 0:10:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't want an old woman like that to be

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>out of out in the rain. Because I believe the

0:10:41.040 --> 0:10:43.440
<v Speaker 1>Crown is States, and I'll have to check this real quickly.

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 1>I believe the Crown of States did evict people during

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>the COVID nineteen pandemic, talking of old folks being kicked

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>out into the rain and for for around two weeks

0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:56.079
<v Speaker 1>after the Queen's death, basically all of Britain kind of

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>grinds to a halt um. It's which which would honestly,

0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>one of the base parts about this is that this

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>does potentially cost the UK economy billions of dollars because

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:10.600
<v Speaker 1>they just shut down for two weeks um. So this

0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>is like the equivalent of the boat getting stuck in

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.360
<v Speaker 1>the canal. Y. I do want to I do want

0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to make a quick note for everybody. The longest reigning

0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:24.600
<v Speaker 1>verifiable monarch, according to this Wikipedia page that I just skimmed,

0:11:24.920 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>is so Boosa, the second of Swaziland, which was a

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:31.840
<v Speaker 1>British protectorate until nineteen sixty eight. He reigned from eighteen

0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine to August of nineteen eighty two, two years.

0:11:38.480 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>So you know what, Elizabeth, not that impressive. I am

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a sabooza. The second stand now absolute chat ship. The

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.320
<v Speaker 1>fact that he just snuffed it before he got to

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:56.120
<v Speaker 1>see a pot tight end very yeah, that is yeah, wow, yeah,

0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.320
<v Speaker 1>it's just yeah, it's looking at some of the evictions

0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.160
<v Speaker 1>of krown of states done over the years, you can

0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>learn it's pretty heartbreaking ship. Well, luckily the Queen actually

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.679
<v Speaker 1>did not die in Buckingham Palace. She died in a

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:13.440
<v Speaker 1>castle in Scotland. That's great because Buckingham Palace is a

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:17.520
<v Speaker 1>hideous monument of trash. Like the castle she died, it

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:23.040
<v Speaker 1>looks pretty cool that a lot of the Yeah, one

0:12:23.080 --> 0:12:25.600
<v Speaker 1>thing you're supposed to get with a monarchy is like

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:28.960
<v Speaker 1>really rad looking castles. It is like neat the castles

0:12:29.000 --> 0:12:33.079
<v Speaker 1>are cool, except for Buckingham Palace, which looks like fucking tenements.

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah so, but Buckingham Palace is a building that dares

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you to go steal back all of the wealth if

0:12:39.200 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>they stole from you to build it. So the plan

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>for if the Queen died in this Scottish castle was

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:52.280
<v Speaker 1>called Operation Unicorn, which is wild. What is the Unicorn?

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 1>A ninety six year old woman dying is not a

0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>unicorn situation, operations squirrel or something more. How is the

0:13:00.120 --> 0:13:02.280
<v Speaker 1>giving a couple of their third I don't get it,

0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:07.480
<v Speaker 1>I I know. Um. So the plan for this type

0:13:07.520 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>of thing is, so the queen died on last Thursday afternoon.

0:13:11.080 --> 0:13:14.280
<v Speaker 1>It was announced the Friday following Friday morning. After the

0:13:14.360 --> 0:13:17.920
<v Speaker 1>queen dies, Uh, they call Operation Unicorn. They then call

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:22.839
<v Speaker 1>they send like my emergency alerts to all the British leaders. Um. No,

0:13:23.080 --> 0:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>the new Prime Minister who is incredibly funny um, and

0:13:27.559 --> 0:13:32.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, all of all these people are notified and

0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:36.480
<v Speaker 1>then press press gets notified that next morning as as

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:40.800
<v Speaker 1>as they did. So staff members in the castles and

0:13:40.840 --> 0:13:49.480
<v Speaker 1>palaces all got sent home. Um. All parliamentary business gets postponed. Uh,

0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:53.319
<v Speaker 1>every everything, everything shuts down, which means all of the

0:13:53.360 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>stuff they were working on on energy bills gets shut down,

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.400
<v Speaker 1>like they were working on trying to figure out what

0:13:58.400 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>the funk they're gonna do for this percent cost increase.

0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 1>All that gets shut down until late September. Um. So

0:14:05.120 --> 0:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that's cool. Um. But no, this is actually kind

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:11.280
<v Speaker 1>of a unique thing because because of how long Elizabeth

0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:15.040
<v Speaker 1>rained the last death of a monarch was in the fifties,

0:14:15.440 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>so it's it's been a while since this has happened,

0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:20.920
<v Speaker 1>so everyone's kind of rusty. Like no, like if we

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>aren't as prepared for this. If if it's okay, My

0:14:24.960 --> 0:14:27.280
<v Speaker 1>my hope is that we get a couple of we

0:14:27.320 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>get people get a lot of experience with dead British

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:34.480
<v Speaker 1>monarchs in the next decond. King Charles the Third, I

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.240
<v Speaker 1>don't think we'll be around for too long. Yeah, I've

0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>seen that man's hands and it's maybe. Here's the thing.

0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:43.080
<v Speaker 1>Every every time a monarch dies, it's kind of it's

0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:45.240
<v Speaker 1>like a top down, rolling general strike. So if we

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 1>get enough of them in a row, we can start

0:14:47.040 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>doing serious damage capital. By the way, quick quick note

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:55.760
<v Speaker 1>about the Chad Sabooza, the second of Swazi Land died,

0:14:55.920 --> 0:15:05.200
<v Speaker 1>died with a thousand grandchildren. Oh my god, Jesus, wow,

0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:11.280
<v Speaker 1>man and always pictured shirtless. Elizabeth cannot compete. No, I'm

0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 1>fine without not being the case. Actually, I don't want

0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 1>to see any contetion. Yeah, and he probably wasn't racist

0:15:17.760 --> 0:15:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to any of their partners, which actually can say about

0:15:20.800 --> 0:15:23.640
<v Speaker 1>the real families. Here's a neat thing he and he

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>took all control of all non or of all Swazi

0:15:27.720 --> 0:15:31.040
<v Speaker 1>land and mineral rights from non Swazi interests that had

0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.440
<v Speaker 1>gained control during colonialism and indigenized all of that, which

0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:36.920
<v Speaker 1>is dope. So there you go, So boost of the

0:15:37.000 --> 0:15:41.400
<v Speaker 1>motherfucking second. Yeah called a god king. I have to

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>go and get injected with a small dose of a disease. Well,

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>let everything but injected in that. Chris, Hey, Daniel's back,

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:51.120
<v Speaker 1>So let's take an ad break, um, and we'll be

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:53.800
<v Speaker 1>back to learn more about the queen. You know what

0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:55.520
<v Speaker 1>else will give you a small dose to a disease?

0:15:55.880 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>That's right, that's right, Yes, these products and services, Yeah,

0:15:58.600 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I'll just say the Queen of England. But yeah, and

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:17.120
<v Speaker 1>we're back. So yeah, it's been a while since since

0:16:17.120 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 1>the monarch died. Last time this happened in the fifties,

0:16:21.040 --> 0:16:25.560
<v Speaker 1>mourners wore black arm bands to show respect for King George.

0:16:27.800 --> 0:16:30.840
<v Speaker 1>That's the one who was like a big fan of Nazis, right,

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.520
<v Speaker 1>But I don't I don't think we're gonna see so

0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that tradition is going to continue. I

0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:38.400
<v Speaker 1>doubt we're gonna see a wave of black arm bands.

0:16:39.600 --> 0:16:42.120
<v Speaker 1>If anyone was gonna do it. It would probably be

0:16:42.200 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the Anglos. Yeah, I I suppose so, yeah, it's uh

0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>oh yeah it was Edward Edward the eight who abdicated

0:16:50.680 --> 0:16:53.640
<v Speaker 1>um and and then was replaced by the guy who

0:16:53.720 --> 0:16:56.560
<v Speaker 1>you were talking about. Okay, that's the guy like nazis

0:16:56.680 --> 0:17:01.080
<v Speaker 1>Edward the Eighth. So I'll all all all the UK

0:17:01.200 --> 0:17:03.440
<v Speaker 1>flags are gonna be flown at at half masted until

0:17:03.480 --> 0:17:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the day of the funeral, and then the day of

0:17:05.840 --> 0:17:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the funeral is going to be a bank holiday as well.

0:17:08.040 --> 0:17:11.600
<v Speaker 1>So that's pretty exciting. That's great. I hope that the

0:17:11.720 --> 0:17:16.879
<v Speaker 1>poor get to eat sweetmeats or something. No, no, no, again,

0:17:17.080 --> 0:17:21.359
<v Speaker 1>they're just they're just closing down almost all almost all businesses,

0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.280
<v Speaker 1>almost all businesses in the okay will close. The stock

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:29.000
<v Speaker 1>Exchange is going to close um like on on. Following

0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:33.520
<v Speaker 1>present Princess Diana's death in the late nineties, uh, Britain,

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:37.080
<v Speaker 1>business owners in Britain quote felt that they were quote

0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.240
<v Speaker 1>forced to close their shops or canceled sporting sporting events

0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:43.320
<v Speaker 1>the day of the funeral lest they feel the rage

0:17:43.560 --> 0:17:49.000
<v Speaker 1>of the tear stained hordes outside unquote. Yeah, that's an

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:51.520
<v Speaker 1>incredible that is an incredibly funny way to talk about

0:17:51.520 --> 0:17:54.080
<v Speaker 1>monarchist though, like thank you, thank you, thank you the

0:17:54.119 --> 0:17:58.639
<v Speaker 1>Guardian for that amazing quote. It's unbelievable, I mean, and

0:17:58.720 --> 0:18:02.000
<v Speaker 1>at least with Diana, it was actually sad, like she

0:18:02.119 --> 0:18:05.360
<v Speaker 1>was a nice person who was badly treated in her

0:18:05.400 --> 0:18:08.200
<v Speaker 1>life by the royal family and died tragically and young,

0:18:08.560 --> 0:18:11.360
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to somebody who got everything they want from

0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:15.160
<v Speaker 1>the day they were born and died at ninety. So

0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:20.560
<v Speaker 1>then currently they are assembling the quote Ascension Council to

0:18:20.680 --> 0:18:24.480
<v Speaker 1>formally declare Prince Charles the King, which he's he's already

0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:26.560
<v Speaker 1>known as King Charles, but you know there's the whole

0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 1>separate formal process because he could pick another name. Still

0:18:30.560 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>he says he's not. He says he's oh, he's he's confirmed.

0:18:33.320 --> 0:18:37.120
<v Speaker 1>That good because kings, Kings Charles have a good history

0:18:37.240 --> 0:18:42.560
<v Speaker 1>in the UK. They don't often get executed. So the

0:18:42.920 --> 0:18:46.439
<v Speaker 1>Council will make the proclamation of ascension to be to

0:18:46.480 --> 0:18:49.080
<v Speaker 1>be read on Proclamation day will be will be soon

0:18:49.119 --> 0:18:53.240
<v Speaker 1>after the death um and that'll be somewhere somewhere in

0:18:53.320 --> 0:18:58.240
<v Speaker 1>a London. How do they still have all the ship

0:18:58.440 --> 0:19:01.320
<v Speaker 1>like there's so many weird ruals that they still do

0:19:01.880 --> 0:19:05.919
<v Speaker 1>of both houses of Parliament are suspended are suspended until

0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:10.679
<v Speaker 1>after the official state funeral um, and both and and

0:19:10.760 --> 0:19:15.119
<v Speaker 1>all politicians have to wear new allegiance to the to

0:19:15.480 --> 0:19:19.199
<v Speaker 1>the newly ascended monarch. This is really like genuinely the

0:19:19.200 --> 0:19:24.520
<v Speaker 1>world's most pathetic ruling class. Like, oh my god, Jesus Christ,

0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty funny. You have one job. Well, but also

0:19:29.560 --> 0:19:35.280
<v Speaker 1>like back in the day before we had monarchs and capitalism,

0:19:35.320 --> 0:19:38.000
<v Speaker 1>whenever you know, you had a new coronation, whenever there

0:19:38.080 --> 0:19:40.400
<v Speaker 1>was something big that happened with the monarchy, the thing

0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.800
<v Speaker 1>they would do is make sure everybody had a shipload

0:19:42.840 --> 0:19:45.480
<v Speaker 1>of food and nice stuff. The king would give it away.

0:19:45.480 --> 0:19:47.880
<v Speaker 1>It's all over the world. Cultures would do this, even

0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you do. Yeah, it's what you do when you come

0:19:50.520 --> 0:19:53.280
<v Speaker 1>to power, because they were at least that scared of

0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:55.000
<v Speaker 1>the people where it's like, all right, I gotta like

0:19:55.080 --> 0:19:57.960
<v Speaker 1>do something to ring in this rain good so they

0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:00.119
<v Speaker 1>don't start to wonder, why do we have a king now?

0:20:00.320 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 1>So I'm gonna give him a bunch of fucking food

0:20:02.040 --> 0:20:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And then they'll be like, oh, the king, he's the

0:20:03.480 --> 0:20:05.520
<v Speaker 1>guy who gives us food every now and then. That's dope.

0:20:05.840 --> 0:20:08.959
<v Speaker 1>It's amazing now that in the UK it's just like,

0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:11.080
<v Speaker 1>all right, we've got a new monarch and the old

0:20:11.080 --> 0:20:12.920
<v Speaker 1>one died, so you guys, a lot of you don't

0:20:12.920 --> 0:20:17.040
<v Speaker 1>get to eat for a while. So King Charlie seventy

0:20:17.080 --> 0:20:20.800
<v Speaker 1>three is the oldest person in British history to become king,

0:20:21.840 --> 0:20:25.600
<v Speaker 1>which is I think a great side very unsabosi a

0:20:25.680 --> 0:20:28.840
<v Speaker 1>second of him. And then we're also getting a new

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:33.400
<v Speaker 1>queen technically, uh, the Camella, the Duchess of Cornwall, which

0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:37.879
<v Speaker 1>again all this sounds made up um is now is

0:20:37.880 --> 0:20:43.280
<v Speaker 1>now the queen consort um. So that's exciting, that's thrilling.

0:20:43.280 --> 0:20:47.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm I'm thrilled for Queen Camilla. It is the Duchess

0:20:47.880 --> 0:20:55.520
<v Speaker 1>of Cornwall or so and Queen Elizbeth, Queen Elizabeth's coffin

0:20:55.840 --> 0:20:59.280
<v Speaker 1>is is being prepared to lie in state, meaning it

0:20:59.320 --> 0:21:01.439
<v Speaker 1>will be presented for the public to view so they

0:21:01.480 --> 0:21:03.800
<v Speaker 1>can cry on the coffin, which is pretty cool, or

0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:06.159
<v Speaker 1>crying near the coffin. They don't want the poorest to

0:21:06.200 --> 0:21:14.360
<v Speaker 1>get too close. Meanwhile, so Booza the second turned Swazi

0:21:14.480 --> 0:21:18.119
<v Speaker 1>Land into a major asbestos ex border, which Queen Elizabeth

0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:23.080
<v Speaker 1>also never did. So wait, so when when when when

0:21:23.119 --> 0:21:25.280
<v Speaker 1>the queen dies, do they like from like? Do they

0:21:25.320 --> 0:21:28.280
<v Speaker 1>like preserve her from Aldehide or whatever? They've got some

0:21:28.320 --> 0:21:32.160
<v Speaker 1>fancy they have some fancy ass ship because they were

0:21:32.200 --> 0:21:35.280
<v Speaker 1>probably embalming er while she was alive, just as her

0:21:35.320 --> 0:21:39.360
<v Speaker 1>limbs stopped working, squirting some in. The Queen's body will

0:21:39.400 --> 0:21:41.560
<v Speaker 1>lie in state until the day of the funeral, shall

0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 1>then become a public holiday. There's at least a ten

0:21:44.080 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 1>day morning period starting the day after her death, um,

0:21:48.040 --> 0:21:51.960
<v Speaker 1>and then should be transported to win Westminster Abbey by

0:21:52.080 --> 0:21:55.240
<v Speaker 1>gun carriage for the state funeral, and then after the

0:21:55.280 --> 0:21:59.120
<v Speaker 1>funeral she'll be she'll be buried in the King George

0:21:59.160 --> 0:22:05.800
<v Speaker 1>the Sixth Memorial Chapel. I believe her the body of

0:22:05.800 --> 0:22:09.160
<v Speaker 1>her late husband, Prince Philip, who died last year, will

0:22:09.200 --> 0:22:11.840
<v Speaker 1>be moved from the vault that he's currently at to

0:22:12.200 --> 0:22:17.720
<v Speaker 1>beneath the chapel to join here. That's pretty funny. Yeah, um,

0:22:17.800 --> 0:22:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't have nothing to say about that other than

0:22:19.640 --> 0:22:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it's funny that they've just got that dude in a

0:22:21.400 --> 0:22:26.240
<v Speaker 1>fucking freezer. It's really funny. The new coordination will cost

0:22:26.960 --> 0:22:30.720
<v Speaker 1>billions of pounds. Oh good. That's a good because England's

0:22:30.760 --> 0:22:32.680
<v Speaker 1>like doing great right now, They've got plenty of money

0:22:32.680 --> 0:22:37.040
<v Speaker 1>for all the necessities. You know, everything's been well great,

0:22:37.160 --> 0:22:40.280
<v Speaker 1>cost of livings really down, So it's it's a good

0:22:40.320 --> 0:22:43.880
<v Speaker 1>idea to spend billions of dollars making a little death

0:22:43.880 --> 0:22:47.359
<v Speaker 1>cult about this elderly woman. That's just like the last

0:22:47.400 --> 0:22:50.640
<v Speaker 1>like big royal wedding costs between one point two billion

0:22:50.840 --> 0:22:54.440
<v Speaker 1>and six billion pounds, which is quite quite the quite

0:22:54.440 --> 0:22:58.320
<v Speaker 1>the spectrum there one two to six billion. That's like, huh,

0:22:59.600 --> 0:23:02.840
<v Speaker 1>I feel at that point all money's fake. Like the

0:23:02.880 --> 0:23:05.160
<v Speaker 1>cost of the coronation is expected to be similar, if

0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:07.639
<v Speaker 1>not a little bit higher. Right, Yeah, you gotta you

0:23:07.720 --> 0:23:10.479
<v Speaker 1>gotta spend a lot of money on a coronation for

0:23:10.560 --> 0:23:15.359
<v Speaker 1>fucking Charles. Uh, So that you can, because that's what

0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:19.359
<v Speaker 1>real countries do. In two, that's very real country ship.

0:23:19.680 --> 0:23:23.679
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of money, new currency is already being printed and

0:23:23.720 --> 0:23:27.080
<v Speaker 1>in fact that that'll be cheap though, and in fact

0:23:27.920 --> 0:23:32.080
<v Speaker 1>portraits of Charles have already been made on currency. There's

0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:36.720
<v Speaker 1>like a reserve of money depicting the next king, just

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:40.000
<v Speaker 1>like it's being stored to like moving in from from

0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.480
<v Speaker 1>when the queen died. It's like lots of this money saved.

0:23:43.760 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Just like how funny it would have been if, like

0:23:45.680 --> 0:23:48.040
<v Speaker 1>six months before this happened, his seventy two year old

0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:51.760
<v Speaker 1>ass had a heart attack. Have to like burn all

0:23:51.840 --> 0:23:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that money, They got to burn all the Charles Bucks.

0:23:54.560 --> 0:24:00.399
<v Speaker 1>He's not gonna be around long. Rice that Britain longer

0:24:00.440 --> 0:24:05.440
<v Speaker 1>has the world's reserve currency, can you imagine? No, we

0:24:05.440 --> 0:24:10.280
<v Speaker 1>we took on on this network, on our various shows.

0:24:10.320 --> 0:24:12.680
<v Speaker 1>We we spent a lot of time digging into ugly

0:24:12.720 --> 0:24:15.720
<v Speaker 1>aspects of American history and American culture. But let's all

0:24:15.760 --> 0:24:18.840
<v Speaker 1>celebrate one thing that I'm legitimately proud of, which is

0:24:18.880 --> 0:24:21.359
<v Speaker 1>that a long time ago people who were like that

0:24:21.440 --> 0:24:25.360
<v Speaker 1>seems stupid to let those that family run everything. Why

0:24:25.359 --> 0:24:27.120
<v Speaker 1>are we? Why are we doing that? Let's get those

0:24:27.119 --> 0:24:30.040
<v Speaker 1>fuckers out of here. Um, at least we did that,

0:24:30.119 --> 0:24:32.240
<v Speaker 1>although now a bunch of Americans are being fucking boot

0:24:32.280 --> 0:24:34.680
<v Speaker 1>liquors too, and in Oregon and a bunch of other

0:24:34.680 --> 0:24:37.040
<v Speaker 1>states we're putting in the flags at half staff, which, like,

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:40.240
<v Speaker 1>you don't not know why this country exists? This is

0:24:40.280 --> 0:24:43.400
<v Speaker 1>the one based thing we did. Yeah, Like, like even

0:24:43.440 --> 0:24:46.440
<v Speaker 1>the US, which I probably has the most murderous boorgeoisie

0:24:46.520 --> 0:24:49.560
<v Speaker 1>in human history. At least we did our Burge revolution. Damnit.

0:24:50.000 --> 0:24:53.640
<v Speaker 1>Like at least we destroyed feudalism. So now we're gonna

0:24:53.680 --> 0:24:56.520
<v Speaker 1>move on to the next segment of the show, entitled

0:24:56.840 --> 0:25:01.400
<v Speaker 1>An Incomplete List of the politicians, warmongers, generals and otherwise

0:25:01.400 --> 0:25:07.040
<v Speaker 1>bastards who queenlis the second bestowed awards. So I have

0:25:07.119 --> 0:25:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I have quite the collection of people here. Um, let's

0:25:10.320 --> 0:25:15.920
<v Speaker 1>let's start with Palestine. So Shimon Perez served as Prime

0:25:15.920 --> 0:25:19.480
<v Speaker 1>Minister of of of Israel. He got a Nobel Peace

0:25:19.520 --> 0:25:23.280
<v Speaker 1>Prize in like the nineties for intern key steal that

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:25.719
<v Speaker 1>like failed in the long run to turn into a

0:25:27.240 --> 0:25:32.920
<v Speaker 1>um assassinated. No, I don't think. I don't think I

0:25:34.680 --> 0:25:36.760
<v Speaker 1>was the one who you could argue might have deserved

0:25:37.000 --> 0:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>an award. So he's he. But Perez is kind of

0:25:40.400 --> 0:25:44.600
<v Speaker 1>known as more of like a peaceable leader. He's like

0:25:45.880 --> 0:25:49.000
<v Speaker 1>compared to some of his like colleagues. UM. You know,

0:25:49.240 --> 0:25:52.480
<v Speaker 1>it's specifically with like the various ethnic cleansings that they

0:25:52.480 --> 0:25:54.359
<v Speaker 1>do in Palestine. Perez is kind of seen as like

0:25:54.520 --> 0:25:58.080
<v Speaker 1>the the good guy. Um. And then in the mid

0:25:58.160 --> 0:26:01.400
<v Speaker 1>nineties he was facing a major right wing backlash um

0:26:01.440 --> 0:26:03.560
<v Speaker 1>in his home over over the peace deal with the

0:26:03.600 --> 0:26:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Palestinians UM and in the middle of an election campaign

0:26:07.119 --> 0:26:09.760
<v Speaker 1>which he was kind of losing, so during this time

0:26:09.800 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 1>he unleashed Operation Grapes of Wrath, which caused four hundred

0:26:14.480 --> 0:26:17.720
<v Speaker 1>thousand Lebanese to flee their homes, with almost eight hundred

0:26:17.760 --> 0:26:22.399
<v Speaker 1>of them fleeing into a United Nations base in uh Kawana.

0:26:22.560 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>I believe it's called UH in South and South Lebanon,

0:26:27.040 --> 0:26:30.080
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't really stop there UH in order to

0:26:30.520 --> 0:26:34.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of appease the right and Aldrezier calls it UH.

0:26:34.440 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 1>In an attempt to shore up his military credentials before

0:26:38.320 --> 0:26:40.600
<v Speaker 1>a general election, which he then lost to Benjamin net

0:26:40.680 --> 0:26:43.879
<v Speaker 1>not Yahoo, he ordered the army to strike this U

0:26:44.000 --> 0:26:48.160
<v Speaker 1>n A shelter, killing a hundred and two civilians, mostly

0:26:48.359 --> 0:26:52.359
<v Speaker 1>women and children. UH. At the time of the attack,

0:26:52.400 --> 0:26:55.160
<v Speaker 1>Perez said that in my opinion, everything was done according

0:26:55.200 --> 0:26:57.800
<v Speaker 1>to clear logic and in a responsible way. I am

0:26:57.840 --> 0:27:01.400
<v Speaker 1>at peace UM. Perez that the compound had been hit

0:27:01.560 --> 0:27:05.439
<v Speaker 1>due to an incorrect targeting based on erroneous data, but

0:27:05.520 --> 0:27:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the United Nations investigations found it unlikely that the shelling

0:27:09.160 --> 0:27:13.639
<v Speaker 1>was unintentional because they were severing the area heavily beforehand.

0:27:13.720 --> 0:27:16.359
<v Speaker 1>So he did, he did, He did this massacre, killed

0:27:16.400 --> 0:27:20.120
<v Speaker 1>like a hundred a hundred people to boost his polls

0:27:20.200 --> 0:27:24.640
<v Speaker 1>for the right wingers in this election. UM November two,

0:27:24.640 --> 0:27:28.280
<v Speaker 1>as an eight, Queen Elizabeth awarded him with an honorary knighthood.

0:27:29.720 --> 0:27:33.400
<v Speaker 1>He was knighted in the Grand Cross of the Order

0:27:33.480 --> 0:27:37.360
<v Speaker 1>of St. Michael and St. George. And during his knighthood

0:27:37.600 --> 0:27:40.760
<v Speaker 1>like that that day, Perez spoke to the Queen about

0:27:40.840 --> 0:27:45.360
<v Speaker 1>the escalating Israeli Palestine conflict, saying that quote, the British

0:27:45.560 --> 0:27:49.320
<v Speaker 1>learned from the Bible, and we learned from the British democracy.

0:27:50.640 --> 0:27:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Earlier that year, I d F launched Operation hot Winter,

0:27:53.920 --> 0:27:56.320
<v Speaker 1>a military campaign targeting the Gaza Strip in response to

0:27:56.400 --> 0:28:00.840
<v Speaker 1>a series of Homoss rockets that killed one forty seven

0:28:00.920 --> 0:28:04.119
<v Speaker 1>year old Israeli student um which that attack was in

0:28:04.160 --> 0:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>response to the IDs killing eight Home mass members earlier

0:28:07.080 --> 0:28:10.399
<v Speaker 1>that month. But during during the ID s Operation Hot Winter,

0:28:11.160 --> 0:28:15.000
<v Speaker 1>one hundred and ten Palestinians were killed, fifty four of

0:28:15.040 --> 0:28:18.400
<v Speaker 1>them were children. Uh. And then a month, just one

0:28:18.400 --> 0:28:21.920
<v Speaker 1>month after Perez was knighted, the two Assanate Gazo War

0:28:22.440 --> 0:28:24.879
<v Speaker 1>broke out, also known as the Gaza massacre and that

0:28:24.960 --> 0:28:27.760
<v Speaker 1>was started by the IDF, who called it Operation cast

0:28:27.840 --> 0:28:31.119
<v Speaker 1>lead a three week large scale military campaign in the

0:28:31.119 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 1>Gaza Strip. The massacre resulted in uh in like one

0:28:36.359 --> 0:28:42.200
<v Speaker 1>thousand and four hundred Palestinian deaths and thirteen Israeli deaths,

0:28:42.480 --> 0:28:48.640
<v Speaker 1>four from friendly fire. Um, so it's just a massacre. Yeah.

0:28:48.840 --> 0:28:51.480
<v Speaker 1>So that that that was like a few weeks after

0:28:51.800 --> 0:28:56.920
<v Speaker 1>after Queen Elizabeth knighted unighted the then president of of

0:28:56.920 --> 0:29:00.200
<v Speaker 1>of of of Israel who previously served as the prim Sister,

0:29:00.440 --> 0:29:02.960
<v Speaker 1>which is more of like a real rule. Um. Anyway,

0:29:03.040 --> 0:29:06.920
<v Speaker 1>moving on to more fun people. Nine eighty nine, Queen

0:29:06.920 --> 0:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth awarded Ronald Reagan with an honorary knighthood. Um. That's

0:29:11.480 --> 0:29:16.239
<v Speaker 1>good now, thankfully. The way honorary knight Knighthood's work is

0:29:16.520 --> 0:29:19.640
<v Speaker 1>you don't become a sir because sir is a title

0:29:19.680 --> 0:29:23.680
<v Speaker 1>reserved for people from Britain. I'm not mistaken. You can't

0:29:23.720 --> 0:29:26.800
<v Speaker 1>hold office in the United States if you are a knight.

0:29:27.760 --> 0:29:30.200
<v Speaker 1>Oh I wouldn't. I think it's an old rule we have. Yeah,

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I read something about that. Yeah, yeah, no, I think

0:29:33.080 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 1>isn't it No, it's not on the constitution, but there's

0:29:36.520 --> 0:29:40.800
<v Speaker 1>something about yeah, but it's a it's a even though

0:29:41.200 --> 0:29:43.120
<v Speaker 1>you know you can't become a sir because you're not

0:29:43.160 --> 0:29:46.320
<v Speaker 1>from Britain. Um you Okay, here we go. No title

0:29:46.360 --> 0:29:49.640
<v Speaker 1>of nobility. This is Article one, Section nine, closet of

0:29:49.640 --> 0:29:53.000
<v Speaker 1>the Constitution. Constitution. Yeah, no title of nobility shall be

0:29:53.040 --> 0:29:55.360
<v Speaker 1>granted by the United States, and no person holding any

0:29:55.400 --> 0:29:57.840
<v Speaker 1>office of profit or trust under them shall without the

0:29:57.880 --> 0:30:00.760
<v Speaker 1>consent of the Congress, except of any President, volume in office,

0:30:00.840 --> 0:30:03.480
<v Speaker 1>or title of any kind whatsoever, from any king, prince,

0:30:03.560 --> 0:30:07.720
<v Speaker 1>or foreign state. Fascinating. Yeah. So, like again, the people

0:30:07.760 --> 0:30:10.360
<v Speaker 1>who made this country, for all of their flaws, looked

0:30:10.400 --> 0:30:15.560
<v Speaker 1>at the British monarchy and we're like, that's fucking nuts. Well,

0:30:15.960 --> 0:30:23.240
<v Speaker 1>because because because Reagan was was night was received on

0:30:23.280 --> 0:30:26.400
<v Speaker 1>airy knighthood. The one benefit he does get is that

0:30:26.640 --> 0:30:29.560
<v Speaker 1>at dinner parties, Reagan was able to sit closer to

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the queen than the unknighted former presidents. That's good. I'm

0:30:34.280 --> 0:30:39.080
<v Speaker 1>glad that we have to like, honestly, look again, I

0:30:39.120 --> 0:30:43.880
<v Speaker 1>hate like like America flex shit, but I feel like

0:30:43.960 --> 0:30:46.480
<v Speaker 1>any president of the US should be able to pull

0:30:46.560 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 1>up Ryker style, flip a chair around, sit down next

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:51.160
<v Speaker 1>to you, and say, look, we've been pulling your ass

0:30:51.160 --> 0:30:53.480
<v Speaker 1>out of the fire for the last century. Like, you

0:30:53.520 --> 0:30:55.720
<v Speaker 1>don't get to fucking make me sit somewhere. I'm the

0:30:55.720 --> 0:30:58.600
<v Speaker 1>president of the United States and you're a doddering old

0:30:58.720 --> 0:31:02.600
<v Speaker 1>queen of a fucking third rate power. Um, I hate that.

0:31:02.680 --> 0:31:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I just went like, full fucking whatever they're But honestly,

0:31:06.520 --> 0:31:11.320
<v Speaker 1>that's fucking ridiculous. It's like like maybe maybe maybe the

0:31:11.360 --> 0:31:14.120
<v Speaker 1>only country ever that the U s getst moral superiority.

0:31:15.680 --> 0:31:18.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like, is the British Empire? Like, don't you don't

0:31:18.920 --> 0:31:24.360
<v Speaker 1>like what? Seriously, lady unbelievable. One other president who was

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:28.800
<v Speaker 1>knighted was George H. W. Bush, who was knighted into

0:31:29.240 --> 0:31:34.080
<v Speaker 1>the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath. Well,

0:31:34.840 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 1>he did look like he could use one a lot

0:31:36.760 --> 0:31:41.880
<v Speaker 1>of the time, where a rarely awarded top order of knighthoods.

0:31:42.320 --> 0:31:48.120
<v Speaker 1>That's good. I'm glad he got that. Uh. British officials

0:31:48.200 --> 0:31:51.400
<v Speaker 1>said that the knighthood marked the close relationship between the

0:31:51.440 --> 0:31:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Republican president and Britain's conservative government, particularly during the Gulf War. Um. Yeah,

0:31:57.520 --> 0:32:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that was a real moment of of of iolan tragedy

0:32:01.040 --> 0:32:04.040
<v Speaker 1>for the British royal family. They had they had to

0:32:04.040 --> 0:32:07.480
<v Speaker 1>sit there and watch they were burned, conscripts alive, and

0:32:07.520 --> 0:32:10.600
<v Speaker 1>they were really at risk. There. I'm gonna quote from

0:32:10.600 --> 0:32:15.520
<v Speaker 1>the book Royal Babylon by English poet and activist Heathcote Williams. Quote.

0:32:15.840 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 1>The fact that each US president's record, without exception, would

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:22.240
<v Speaker 1>earn them seats on the dock at Nuremberg or at

0:32:22.280 --> 0:32:25.840
<v Speaker 1>the International Criminal Court on genocide charges doesn't deter the

0:32:25.920 --> 0:32:29.480
<v Speaker 1>royal family from honoring them. For by an ironic twist,

0:32:29.640 --> 0:32:33.400
<v Speaker 1>each US president morphs into George the Third, against whom

0:32:33.440 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 1>their forebearers fought. Which is a nice and nice a

0:32:36.800 --> 0:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>nice little quote by by this this this English this

0:32:40.440 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>English writer and the pretty good book Royal Babylon if

0:32:43.200 --> 0:32:45.040
<v Speaker 1>you want to if you want to learn about how

0:32:45.160 --> 0:32:48.160
<v Speaker 1>fucked up the monarchy is, Uh, this is a pretty

0:32:48.200 --> 0:32:52.640
<v Speaker 1>a pretty fun book. Um, let's see who else who

0:32:52.720 --> 0:32:55.600
<v Speaker 1>else should be? Uh? Who else should we? Let's let's

0:32:55.600 --> 0:33:02.120
<v Speaker 1>talk about Norman Schwartz and Covs schwartzkof. Norman schwartzkof. He

0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:03.959
<v Speaker 1>was the head of the He was the guy who

0:33:04.040 --> 0:33:08.920
<v Speaker 1>actually like ran the Desert Storm campaign. Yes, he said

0:33:08.960 --> 0:33:13.320
<v Speaker 1>that the dead iraqis quote warn't worth counting and among

0:33:13.400 --> 0:33:16.800
<v Speaker 1>like casualties of war and that quote I want every

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Iraqi soldier bleeding from every orifice. Yeah, it's uh. I mean,

0:33:21.360 --> 0:33:24.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, Schwartzkov was a guy who fought in Vietnam

0:33:24.440 --> 0:33:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and took the loss hard, and I think he a

0:33:27.320 --> 0:33:29.880
<v Speaker 1>big part of why, A big part of what was

0:33:29.920 --> 0:33:32.560
<v Speaker 1>going on with Desert Storm was a desire to quote

0:33:32.640 --> 0:33:36.760
<v Speaker 1>unquote reclaim like our military pride by beating the ship

0:33:36.880 --> 0:33:40.160
<v Speaker 1>out of a smaller country. Um. Which is not to

0:33:40.160 --> 0:33:42.920
<v Speaker 1>say that like I don't believe there was Like Iraq

0:33:42.960 --> 0:33:45.560
<v Speaker 1>had invaded a neighbor and occupied it. That's bad, something

0:33:45.600 --> 0:33:48.840
<v Speaker 1>should have been done. But the whole, the whole like masturbatory.

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I want all of their fucking conscript soldiers, these like

0:33:51.680 --> 0:33:56.960
<v Speaker 1>teenage kids to die. Is is like sick lunacy, as

0:33:57.040 --> 0:33:59.880
<v Speaker 1>was the masturbation over the anywhere whatever. We don't need

0:33:59.920 --> 0:34:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the Gulf War here. He was anyway,

0:34:02.680 --> 0:34:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he was. He also received knighthood after all of that stuff,

0:34:05.760 --> 0:34:10.880
<v Speaker 1>which is fun. Also, Elizabeth gave a knighthood to Colin

0:34:10.960 --> 0:34:15.640
<v Speaker 1>Powell Um who facilitated, covered up, and justified many US

0:34:15.680 --> 0:34:22.360
<v Speaker 1>war crimes in Vietnam. Hey, Hey, Garrison facilitated cover ups. Yes, yeah,

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:27.880
<v Speaker 1>most famously my Lie. Yes, the my Lie massacre is

0:34:27.960 --> 0:34:31.040
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing that he was that he was involved in.

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:35.000
<v Speaker 1>There were others. He also like that guy. I think

0:34:35.280 --> 0:34:37.359
<v Speaker 1>he's like like the thing. I think it important. He

0:34:37.520 --> 0:34:40.640
<v Speaker 1>is probably the one person on earth in the Bush

0:34:40.680 --> 0:34:43.080
<v Speaker 1>administration who could have stopped the Iraq war if he

0:34:43.120 --> 0:34:46.880
<v Speaker 1>wanted to. And he didn't. Like he he he knew

0:34:46.960 --> 0:34:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that it was all bullshit, and he was like, nah,

0:34:48.520 --> 0:34:51.320
<v Speaker 1>fuck it, let's do the gonna lie to the u

0:34:51.480 --> 0:34:56.000
<v Speaker 1>N Quoting Powell, we burned down the thatched huts, starting

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.160
<v Speaker 1>the blaze with ronson and zippo. Latter's why were we

0:34:59.200 --> 0:35:02.879
<v Speaker 1>torching house and destroying crops? Ho Chi Ming said that

0:35:03.160 --> 0:35:06.600
<v Speaker 1>his people were like the sea in which guerrillas swarm.

0:35:06.600 --> 0:35:09.080
<v Speaker 1>We tried to solve the problem by making the whole

0:35:09.120 --> 0:35:12.400
<v Speaker 1>sea uninhabitable. In the hard logic of war, what difference

0:35:12.440 --> 0:35:14.720
<v Speaker 1>does it make if you shot your enemy or starved

0:35:14.760 --> 0:35:20.080
<v Speaker 1>him to death? So anyway, night night night, Colin Powell.

0:35:20.160 --> 0:35:24.080
<v Speaker 1>So true, So true, Buddy Um probably the least problematic

0:35:24.160 --> 0:35:29.440
<v Speaker 1>person among this list. In the Queen approved on an

0:35:29.440 --> 0:35:33.000
<v Speaker 1>honorary knighthood to a former U s Secretary of State.

0:35:33.239 --> 0:35:38.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh what Henry kiss kiss Anger kissing kissing gerl. Yeah,

0:35:38.840 --> 0:35:40.839
<v Speaker 1>he was. He was just kind of a functionary, very

0:35:41.040 --> 0:35:43.200
<v Speaker 1>not not a big deal. We should probably, I think,

0:35:43.239 --> 0:35:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I think that's how it's pronounced. He was. He was

0:35:45.560 --> 0:35:50.040
<v Speaker 1>appointed an honor u night Commander in the Most Distinguished

0:35:50.120 --> 0:35:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Order of St. Michael and St. George. Christ's so funny.

0:36:00.040 --> 0:36:02.960
<v Speaker 1>We must applaud the British for for for for honoring

0:36:03.000 --> 0:36:06.920
<v Speaker 1>the most popular American in China. It's a very progressive

0:36:06.960 --> 0:36:13.600
<v Speaker 1>decision for her. Yes, Kissinger. Uh. I think a few

0:36:13.600 --> 0:36:19.120
<v Speaker 1>of Kissinger's assistants also got uknighted. Uh, Brent scroll Croft

0:36:20.000 --> 0:36:24.880
<v Speaker 1>scout Croft scout Croft, Um, he got he got knighted. Uh.

0:36:25.080 --> 0:36:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I think people from the Iron contra drugs uh and

0:36:28.840 --> 0:36:32.720
<v Speaker 1>arms affair stuff got knighted. Uh. There was a lot

0:36:32.840 --> 0:36:35.360
<v Speaker 1>of like war criminal dudes got knighted in this in

0:36:35.400 --> 0:36:39.279
<v Speaker 1>this like late nineties period. I wonder what was going

0:36:39.320 --> 0:36:44.440
<v Speaker 1>on there. Also, Uh, j Edgar Hoover was was was

0:36:44.520 --> 0:36:50.799
<v Speaker 1>knighted of h which is pretty funny. And then uh,

0:36:50.880 --> 0:36:56.799
<v Speaker 1>the the economic uh financier who endorsed uh really bad

0:36:56.840 --> 0:36:59.560
<v Speaker 1>derivatives to make the housing bubble kind of blow up

0:36:59.719 --> 0:37:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a green Span another American. He also green Span like

0:37:05.120 --> 0:37:09.440
<v Speaker 1>he's a horrible person. That that man, that man has

0:37:09.520 --> 0:37:13.759
<v Speaker 1>killed more people than most generals. Like he has. Oh boy,

0:37:15.280 --> 0:37:18.480
<v Speaker 1>yeah he is. He is pretty bad. Um. I think

0:37:18.560 --> 0:37:19.799
<v Speaker 1>I think we can do an ad break and then

0:37:19.880 --> 0:37:22.360
<v Speaker 1>James is going to join us again. Uh to finish

0:37:22.480 --> 0:37:29.480
<v Speaker 1>up by talking about Ireland and Kenya. Um, because there's

0:37:29.520 --> 0:37:33.520
<v Speaker 1>a lot of stuff in Ireland and Kenya. So anyway,

0:37:34.040 --> 0:37:37.000
<v Speaker 1>do you know who won't receive a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth?

0:37:38.680 --> 0:37:41.160
<v Speaker 1>That's these products and services, because it's going to say

0:37:41.200 --> 0:37:45.080
<v Speaker 1>Queen Elizabeth because she's too dead to dead. That's a joke.

0:37:45.200 --> 0:37:48.040
<v Speaker 1>She can't give them a nighthead because she's dead. Here's

0:37:48.040 --> 0:38:00.960
<v Speaker 1>the ads, very funny. Ah, we're back, and you know

0:38:01.160 --> 0:38:04.160
<v Speaker 1>I need to keep the audience informed about important network

0:38:04.280 --> 0:38:06.080
<v Speaker 1>business for cool Zone, so I want to let you

0:38:06.080 --> 0:38:09.240
<v Speaker 1>all know that. As he was coming back from getting

0:38:09.400 --> 0:38:12.360
<v Speaker 1>his shot, James texted us, all, Okay, I'll be on

0:38:12.520 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>in one sex and there's a lot of jokes that

0:38:15.239 --> 0:38:18.279
<v Speaker 1>we can make about that as as a network, and

0:38:18.320 --> 0:38:19.879
<v Speaker 1>I'm not going to make them, but I'm gonna urge

0:38:19.880 --> 0:38:23.040
<v Speaker 1>you to make them yourself. In your own heart and

0:38:23.120 --> 0:38:26.839
<v Speaker 1>head and then tweet them to James James is At

0:38:27.120 --> 0:38:30.680
<v Speaker 1>James is At, I write, okay on Twitter, that's my

0:38:30.760 --> 0:38:33.120
<v Speaker 1>Twitter handle, I wrote, okay, you can see a picture

0:38:33.160 --> 0:38:37.120
<v Speaker 1>of me. That's anyway. Uh So we're not gonna talk

0:38:37.160 --> 0:38:42.759
<v Speaker 1>about mainly mainly two places where British colonialism and imperialism

0:38:42.960 --> 0:38:47.200
<v Speaker 1>had devastating effects under Queen Elizabeth and a few a few,

0:38:47.320 --> 0:38:51.240
<v Speaker 1>uh pretty pretty evil people that that Elizabeth then also

0:38:51.600 --> 0:38:55.520
<v Speaker 1>knighted of who we're doing, who were like directly doing

0:38:55.600 --> 0:38:59.000
<v Speaker 1>this British colonialism. Uh, let's talk about kenyell a little bit.

0:38:59.080 --> 0:39:03.520
<v Speaker 1>So during the nineteen fifties, British tried to get control

0:39:03.640 --> 0:39:06.720
<v Speaker 1>of lands in Kenya that they that they had violently.

0:39:06.719 --> 0:39:09.200
<v Speaker 1>They were trying to trying to keep control of land

0:39:09.200 --> 0:39:13.680
<v Speaker 1>that they had previously stolen. Um. Native Kenyans fought back

0:39:13.719 --> 0:39:17.080
<v Speaker 1>in the Mau Mau Uprising. Now has we've historians Historians

0:39:17.080 --> 0:39:21.920
<v Speaker 1>have documented widespread torture by British forces, including crushing of

0:39:21.960 --> 0:39:26.520
<v Speaker 1>testicles with pliers um and the internment of up to

0:39:26.640 --> 0:39:30.000
<v Speaker 1>three d and twenty thousand people in concentration camps where

0:39:30.040 --> 0:39:35.560
<v Speaker 1>they then endured a slavery starvation murder and rape, rape

0:39:35.560 --> 0:39:39.920
<v Speaker 1>with blunt objects. Um. Meanwhile, one point five million Kenyans

0:39:40.239 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>were confined to a network of detention camps and heavily

0:39:44.080 --> 0:39:50.160
<v Speaker 1>patrolled villages, as documented by a historian Caroline Elkins in

0:39:50.160 --> 0:39:55.239
<v Speaker 1>her Pulitzer wise winning Britain's Gulag. So this, this, this

0:39:55.360 --> 0:39:58.320
<v Speaker 1>was all overseen by the queen as the head of state.

0:39:59.200 --> 0:40:01.839
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, she was thirty one at this point.

0:40:01.880 --> 0:40:04.200
<v Speaker 1>You don't you don't get to say, well, she just

0:40:04.280 --> 0:40:06.920
<v Speaker 1>come and you know, I was just listening to her advisors.

0:40:06.920 --> 0:40:09.600
<v Speaker 1>At thirty one years old. You are young, but you

0:40:09.640 --> 0:40:13.719
<v Speaker 1>are old enough to not be complicit in a genocide. Yeah,

0:40:13.800 --> 0:40:15.520
<v Speaker 1>especially when you're the head of state. Like, come on,

0:40:16.200 --> 0:40:19.799
<v Speaker 1>as the Queen of England, she had some leverage. She

0:40:19.960 --> 0:40:22.200
<v Speaker 1>is not like, oh, you came at you worked, you

0:40:22.239 --> 0:40:26.200
<v Speaker 1>were a tax collector in fucking South fucking Shire, England,

0:40:26.239 --> 0:40:28.520
<v Speaker 1>and you happened to be in doing that job when

0:40:28.560 --> 0:40:30.759
<v Speaker 1>the Mau mau. We're being suppressed. No, no, no, she was.

0:40:31.680 --> 0:40:33.600
<v Speaker 1>She she she knew about stuff, what's going on. Was

0:40:33.600 --> 0:40:37.040
<v Speaker 1>heavily involved because she was giving out like she was

0:40:37.120 --> 0:40:41.560
<v Speaker 1>working with people who were doing pretty like agregious things. Um.

0:40:41.600 --> 0:40:46.160
<v Speaker 1>According to Kenya's biggest newspaper, the Daily Nation. A British

0:40:46.160 --> 0:40:50.160
<v Speaker 1>policeman named Ian Henderson was known in Kenya as the

0:40:50.320 --> 0:40:54.279
<v Speaker 1>Torturer in Chief and was the kind of the the

0:40:54.320 --> 0:40:57.520
<v Speaker 1>guy behind preparing a whole bunch of bogus evidence in

0:40:57.520 --> 0:41:01.040
<v Speaker 1>the nineteen fifty three trial where say leading Mao Mao

0:41:01.400 --> 0:41:05.920
<v Speaker 1>uprising figures were convicted, um, including the future first President

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:10.080
<v Speaker 1>of Independent Kenya now Queenlis. But the second honored Ian

0:41:10.120 --> 0:41:13.760
<v Speaker 1>Henderson again the Torturer in Chief, with the George Medal,

0:41:14.120 --> 0:41:19.560
<v Speaker 1>Britain's highest civilian award, in September of nineteen fifty four

0:41:20.160 --> 0:41:22.560
<v Speaker 1>for his work in Kenya. So this is important. Like

0:41:22.600 --> 0:41:25.239
<v Speaker 1>he wasn't military, he was just a policeman, which is

0:41:25.239 --> 0:41:28.759
<v Speaker 1>why he gets a civilian award. Um. But like she

0:41:29.040 --> 0:41:31.760
<v Speaker 1>knew what was going on was giving out individual police

0:41:31.800 --> 0:41:36.040
<v Speaker 1>officers awards for their rules in crushing the crushing these

0:41:36.280 --> 0:41:39.080
<v Speaker 1>uh independent uprisings. You know who never would have done

0:41:39.120 --> 0:41:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that is supposed the second absolute clown. I I I

0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:45.960
<v Speaker 1>do not know enough of the second. I don't know

0:41:46.000 --> 0:41:50.319
<v Speaker 1>how he acquired one thousand grandchildren. I'm not gonna to

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:53.319
<v Speaker 1>be fair, there's probably some shady ship and Sabooza the

0:41:53.360 --> 0:41:57.080
<v Speaker 1>Seconds Rain, but the main thing he was known for

0:41:57.640 --> 0:42:00.960
<v Speaker 1>was taking back control of Swazi lens and ginous industries,

0:42:01.040 --> 0:42:04.319
<v Speaker 1>being a good neighbor to the other African countries once

0:42:04.320 --> 0:42:07.480
<v Speaker 1>they gained their independence, and of course exporting a shipload

0:42:07.480 --> 0:42:12.799
<v Speaker 1>of asbestos. So and any any other notes on on Kenya. Yeah,

0:42:12.880 --> 0:42:15.400
<v Speaker 1>so just before I do want to like just briefly

0:42:15.640 --> 0:42:18.960
<v Speaker 1>raised their like elkins Um that it was that was

0:42:19.000 --> 0:42:21.680
<v Speaker 1>a very unconventional and very good book for for young

0:42:21.760 --> 0:42:23.920
<v Speaker 1>academic and she deserved that the credit for writing it.

0:42:24.120 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 1>In the process of writing that book and then trying

0:42:26.960 --> 0:42:30.520
<v Speaker 1>to write her second book, obviously she dealt with a

0:42:30.520 --> 0:42:33.799
<v Speaker 1>lot of backlash from rank her first book, she uncovered

0:42:33.840 --> 0:42:39.160
<v Speaker 1>that Britain had hidden, classified, destroyed and refused to disclose

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:44.080
<v Speaker 1>a mountain of records about its colonial crimes in Kenya.

0:42:44.320 --> 0:42:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And this is like an ongoing issue that goes on

0:42:46.560 --> 0:42:49.120
<v Speaker 1>into the twenty teams that there were public records court

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:53.160
<v Speaker 1>cases about this, and it's so like we we can

0:42:53.200 --> 0:42:55.360
<v Speaker 1>see this like it's wrong to say that this is

0:42:55.400 --> 0:42:57.880
<v Speaker 1>like a just a relic of another era, right, Britain

0:42:58.120 --> 0:43:02.759
<v Speaker 1>is has continued into this era, like the ideology of

0:43:02.800 --> 0:43:05.520
<v Speaker 1>the government from then to now is actually distinguishable, right,

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:09.600
<v Speaker 1>it's it's near liberal conservatives. They have continued to hide

0:43:10.239 --> 0:43:13.920
<v Speaker 1>rather than face justice for these crimes, right, rather than

0:43:14.400 --> 0:43:16.720
<v Speaker 1>say sorry, rather than say what we did was wrong,

0:43:17.120 --> 0:43:20.520
<v Speaker 1>they've tried to cover up this ship and like we

0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:23.000
<v Speaker 1>we need to remember that when we talk about like

0:43:23.080 --> 0:43:25.400
<v Speaker 1>this is not a crime of the past, he's an

0:43:25.480 --> 0:43:29.120
<v Speaker 1>ongoing acts of genocide, of genocide denial that we keep doing. Yeah,

0:43:29.239 --> 0:43:32.040
<v Speaker 1>I should mention. So I think we're talking on operations

0:43:32.080 --> 0:43:34.279
<v Speaker 1>legacy as there are a bunch of different instances of

0:43:34.280 --> 0:43:37.080
<v Speaker 1>the British government like destroying other records. One of the

0:43:37.120 --> 0:43:38.840
<v Speaker 1>other fun things they were covered they've seen to have

0:43:38.920 --> 0:43:40.760
<v Speaker 1>been covering up and we don't we don't know exactly

0:43:40.800 --> 0:43:42.600
<v Speaker 1>what was in those records because again they were just

0:43:42.680 --> 0:43:46.080
<v Speaker 1>like they were destroyed. Um. But one of the other

0:43:46.120 --> 0:43:48.280
<v Speaker 1>things that was in this record is about a second

0:43:48.360 --> 0:43:51.000
<v Speaker 1>time that that the UK put a bunch of people

0:43:51.000 --> 0:43:54.160
<v Speaker 1>in concentration camps while Queen Elizabeth was president, which was

0:43:54.160 --> 0:43:56.120
<v Speaker 1>they did this. They also did this in Malaysia, they

0:43:56.160 --> 0:43:59.200
<v Speaker 1>put a million president. They did this. They did in

0:43:59.280 --> 0:44:02.880
<v Speaker 1>the film was Sorry She was while she was clown President,

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:06.640
<v Speaker 1>which is to say, just to say, Queen, we're gonna

0:44:06.640 --> 0:44:13.120
<v Speaker 1>actually be talking about Malaysia in justice sec that yeah

0:44:13.360 --> 0:44:18.839
<v Speaker 1>so so uh. Ian Henderson, the torture in chief who

0:44:18.880 --> 0:44:22.640
<v Speaker 1>received this award obviously had to leave Kenya shortly after

0:44:22.640 --> 0:44:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the fifties because things happened um and then he he

0:44:26.960 --> 0:44:31.560
<v Speaker 1>got he got moved to Bahrain um and during a

0:44:31.600 --> 0:44:36.080
<v Speaker 1>wave of pro independence revolts in Bahrain in nineteen eight,

0:44:37.200 --> 0:44:40.640
<v Speaker 1>Henderson was appointed the head of the Secret Police and

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:45.960
<v Speaker 1>served as so until nine um and over the course

0:44:46.000 --> 0:44:49.440
<v Speaker 1>of his tenure he became known as the Butcher of Bahrain,

0:44:50.320 --> 0:44:54.600
<v Speaker 1>quoting the Guardian quote. During his time, his men allegedly

0:44:54.719 --> 0:44:59.040
<v Speaker 1>detained and tortured thousands of anti government activists. Their activities

0:44:59.080 --> 0:45:01.440
<v Speaker 1>are said to have include did the ransacking of villages,

0:45:01.840 --> 0:45:06.640
<v Speaker 1>sadistic sexual abuse, and using power drills to name prisoners.

0:45:07.040 --> 0:45:10.080
<v Speaker 1>On many accuations, there have said to detain children without

0:45:10.120 --> 0:45:13.520
<v Speaker 1>informing their parents, only to return them months later in

0:45:13.640 --> 0:45:17.480
<v Speaker 1>body bags unquote. Yeah, and and the Barraine stuff. It's

0:45:17.480 --> 0:45:21.360
<v Speaker 1>also worth mentioning like that never stopped Like no, I

0:45:21.360 --> 0:45:23.480
<v Speaker 1>mean it stopped being him in charge, but like like

0:45:24.360 --> 0:45:28.319
<v Speaker 1>it only stopped him being in charge. Yeah, yeah, And

0:45:28.320 --> 0:45:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and like in two thousand eleven, there's another revolution against

0:45:31.640 --> 0:45:34.680
<v Speaker 1>like the Bahraini Baroni like monarchy, and I mean it

0:45:34.760 --> 0:45:36.839
<v Speaker 1>ended essentially with the Saudia's role tanks across the border.

0:45:36.880 --> 0:45:38.120
<v Speaker 1>But one of the things that happened was that the

0:45:38.160 --> 0:45:41.640
<v Speaker 1>British helped like the Bariny government like hunt down dissidence.

0:45:42.800 --> 0:45:44.960
<v Speaker 1>I just busted out my lecture on this hand slot

0:45:44.960 --> 0:45:47.319
<v Speaker 1>park stuff. If we want to talk more about there

0:45:47.320 --> 0:45:51.160
<v Speaker 1>were fifteen miles of files that they found hidden. I

0:45:51.160 --> 0:45:54.000
<v Speaker 1>mean that that was that was also the case in Ireland,

0:45:54.120 --> 0:45:58.680
<v Speaker 1>which was later the Odd File. I lose emails all

0:45:58.680 --> 0:46:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the time, that's similar to fifteen miles of paperwork. So

0:46:03.040 --> 0:46:07.800
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen four Ian Henderson was awarded by Queen Elizabeth

0:46:08.040 --> 0:46:12.200
<v Speaker 1>with a CBE for services to British interests in Bahrain

0:46:12.640 --> 0:46:15.240
<v Speaker 1>and UH. He also received a knighthood in the Most

0:46:15.400 --> 0:46:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Excellent Order of the British Empire. So this this was

0:46:19.239 --> 0:46:22.400
<v Speaker 1>after he was already known as the Butcher of Bahrain.

0:46:22.480 --> 0:46:26.120
<v Speaker 1>This this is this, he's well into his tenure. He

0:46:26.280 --> 0:46:31.799
<v Speaker 1>is torturing children, killing them, kidnapping them, maiming people, and

0:46:31.840 --> 0:46:35.320
<v Speaker 1>that's when he gets knighthooded UH for his services to

0:46:35.360 --> 0:46:39.640
<v Speaker 1>the British interests in Bahrain. Um. So, yeah, that's that's

0:46:39.680 --> 0:46:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Ian Henderson. Um. Now. During Henderson's time in Kenya uh,

0:46:45.680 --> 0:46:47.920
<v Speaker 1>he was just a part of the small team that

0:46:48.000 --> 0:46:52.920
<v Speaker 1>was developing a new form of counterinsurgency pseudo gangster tactics uh,

0:46:53.000 --> 0:46:57.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of weaponizing like gang gang warfare for British interests. Uh.

0:46:57.960 --> 0:47:01.880
<v Speaker 1>The other person who was of running this operation was

0:47:02.040 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 1>an Englishman named Frank Kinson. Um so he in uh

0:47:08.239 --> 0:47:11.000
<v Speaker 1>he he was also serving in Kenya UM and then

0:47:11.080 --> 0:47:14.480
<v Speaker 1>on New Year's in nineteen fifty five, Kinson was awarded

0:47:14.520 --> 0:47:19.799
<v Speaker 1>the British Military Cross in recognition of galleant and distinguished

0:47:19.800 --> 0:47:23.800
<v Speaker 1>services in Kenya UM and three years later he gained

0:47:23.800 --> 0:47:27.080
<v Speaker 1>a bar to that battle for his work in the

0:47:27.239 --> 0:47:32.080
<v Speaker 1>UH Malaysian emergency quote unquote. So during Britain's brutal rule

0:47:32.360 --> 0:47:36.920
<v Speaker 1>brutal war in Malaysia, um he he he played. He

0:47:37.000 --> 0:47:41.000
<v Speaker 1>played a part in the concentration camps which Chris mentioned.

0:47:41.640 --> 0:47:46.240
<v Speaker 1>The process was known as vigilization as they forced people

0:47:46.320 --> 0:47:49.880
<v Speaker 1>into these concentration camps all over the course of a famine,

0:47:50.360 --> 0:47:53.520
<v Speaker 1>and they were invading Malaysia to fund Britain's kind of

0:47:53.560 --> 0:48:00.680
<v Speaker 1>post war reconstruction uh. So he he was in Kenya, Malaysia. UH.

0:48:00.840 --> 0:48:04.080
<v Speaker 1>He also went to Bahrain, just like Henderson did. He

0:48:04.120 --> 0:48:08.080
<v Speaker 1>went to Yemen, Aiden and Cyprus, all places where the

0:48:08.080 --> 0:48:12.200
<v Speaker 1>British state is uh known for doing the widespread use

0:48:12.239 --> 0:48:15.759
<v Speaker 1>of torture. Um. And then he went to north He

0:48:15.800 --> 0:48:20.799
<v Speaker 1>went to Northern Ireland uh in not shocking turn of events. UM.

0:48:20.880 --> 0:48:24.000
<v Speaker 1>He then was the professional head of the British Army

0:48:24.080 --> 0:48:27.399
<v Speaker 1>during the Iraq War. Described Kitson as quote the son

0:48:27.560 --> 0:48:31.680
<v Speaker 1>around which the planets revolved, saying that quote he very

0:48:31.760 --> 0:48:37.399
<v Speaker 1>much set the tone for the operational style in Belfast. UM.

0:48:37.440 --> 0:48:44.239
<v Speaker 1>The the notorious Military Reaction Force the m r F,

0:48:45.160 --> 0:48:49.080
<v Speaker 1>which was accused of being behind a string of illegal

0:48:49.080 --> 0:48:52.800
<v Speaker 1>shootings of Catholic teenagers in the early seventies, was based

0:48:53.280 --> 0:48:57.480
<v Speaker 1>at Kitson's headquarters outside Belfast, and one of the units

0:48:57.560 --> 0:49:02.640
<v Speaker 1>under his command was nicknamed Wittson's Private Army uh. Its

0:49:02.640 --> 0:49:06.680
<v Speaker 1>official name was one Pea. And these were the people

0:49:06.760 --> 0:49:10.680
<v Speaker 1>that did bloody Sunday um. So in nineteen seventy two

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:14.760
<v Speaker 1>in Dairy, fifteen thousand people gathered outside to protest against

0:49:15.000 --> 0:49:20.919
<v Speaker 1>detention without trial. At ten past four, British paratroopers opened fire,

0:49:21.080 --> 0:49:23.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty eight people were shot, some in the back as

0:49:23.920 --> 0:49:27.799
<v Speaker 1>they fled. Fourteen people were killed, seven of whom were teenagers,

0:49:28.320 --> 0:49:31.319
<v Speaker 1>and it was Kitson's private army who fired all one

0:49:31.400 --> 0:49:34.840
<v Speaker 1>hundred and eight shots in Dairy during winter of nineteen

0:49:34.880 --> 0:49:38.600
<v Speaker 1>seventy two. Uh. One of the victims are the first

0:49:38.640 --> 0:49:42.560
<v Speaker 1>teenager named Kevin, seventeen years old. He was shot from

0:49:42.600 --> 0:49:48.920
<v Speaker 1>behind while trying to crawl to safety. Um. Yeah, anyway,

0:49:49.040 --> 0:49:51.279
<v Speaker 1>Murphy massacre was at the same time as well. Like

0:49:51.520 --> 0:49:54.759
<v Speaker 1>it's worth, people like these are very well documented things

0:49:54.760 --> 0:49:56.600
<v Speaker 1>and people that people can read about that we don't

0:49:56.600 --> 0:50:01.040
<v Speaker 1>need to describe in detail. But so nice England England

0:50:01.080 --> 0:50:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Bad Elizabeth Queen. In nineteen seventy two, frank Kinson was

0:50:06.239 --> 0:50:09.640
<v Speaker 1>knighted again same same year as the massacre, was knighted

0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:12.400
<v Speaker 1>by the Queen for galleyant and distinguished service in Northern

0:50:12.440 --> 0:50:16.200
<v Speaker 1>Ireland and was promoted to Commander of the Order of

0:50:16.200 --> 0:50:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the British Empire UM. A few years later he became

0:50:19.239 --> 0:50:22.640
<v Speaker 1>a major general and the quote night Commander of the

0:50:22.760 --> 0:50:27.799
<v Speaker 1>Order of the Bath Again. What is it that he

0:50:27.920 --> 0:50:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and former head of the CIA, George H. W. Bush

0:50:30.760 --> 0:50:33.879
<v Speaker 1>got to hang out in their fancy club, though these

0:50:33.920 --> 0:50:39.400
<v Speaker 1>people are so fucked up. So later later, Kitson served

0:50:39.440 --> 0:50:42.120
<v Speaker 1>as Commander in Chief for the UK Land Forces from

0:50:42.280 --> 0:50:45.799
<v Speaker 1>nineteen eighty two to nineteen eighty five and was the

0:50:45.840 --> 0:50:50.319
<v Speaker 1>aide Delak was the Aide de camp general to Queen

0:50:50.360 --> 0:50:54.520
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth direct directly to Queen Elizabeth from nineteen eighty three

0:50:54.560 --> 0:50:59.680
<v Speaker 1>to nineteen eighty five. So yeah, that's uh, that's fun.

0:51:00.200 --> 0:51:02.000
<v Speaker 1>It's worth noting that the Order of the Bath is

0:51:02.040 --> 0:51:05.320
<v Speaker 1>like a I believe that some of those other honors,

0:51:05.440 --> 0:51:08.839
<v Speaker 1>that Queen's honors that you've talked about, like selected by

0:51:08.880 --> 0:51:11.239
<v Speaker 1>committee your prospect government. I'm not quite sure. The Order

0:51:11.239 --> 0:51:13.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Bath is supposed to be like the personal

0:51:13.840 --> 0:51:18.000
<v Speaker 1>the Queen's like specific selection. Yeah yeah, and the Sovereign

0:51:18.120 --> 0:51:20.040
<v Speaker 1>is head of the Order of the Bath like it's

0:51:20.120 --> 0:51:24.000
<v Speaker 1>like yours. It's the big it's the big diamond shape. Man,

0:51:24.520 --> 0:51:29.480
<v Speaker 1>you're tortured so dreadfully. Well. I'd love to give you

0:51:29.520 --> 0:51:35.239
<v Speaker 1>this fancy award for jamming screwdrivers into children, turning the board.

0:51:35.680 --> 0:51:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Who do you do? Go off to go breathe another Corgi.

0:51:41.239 --> 0:51:42.840
<v Speaker 1>That's the ghost of the Queen you have promised at

0:51:42.840 --> 0:51:47.840
<v Speaker 1>the start of the episode. So Robert's basement. Throughout the

0:51:47.840 --> 0:51:51.200
<v Speaker 1>two thousand's, Kinson remained a key advisor on US military

0:51:51.200 --> 0:51:55.480
<v Speaker 1>strategy during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. There is

0:51:55.600 --> 0:51:57.759
<v Speaker 1>much that the US has done which is also war

0:51:57.840 --> 0:52:00.600
<v Speaker 1>crimes and torture in those wars, and which all we mentioned. Okay,

0:52:00.600 --> 0:52:02.920
<v Speaker 1>there's there's a thing you'll get from insurgency nerds who

0:52:03.000 --> 0:52:05.880
<v Speaker 1>were talking about the Mala like emergency quote unquote is

0:52:05.880 --> 0:52:08.319
<v Speaker 1>like the one successful kind of insurgency, and that's just

0:52:08.360 --> 0:52:11.400
<v Speaker 1>not true. Like they started again after they stopped in seconds.

0:52:12.040 --> 0:52:13.680
<v Speaker 1>You can tell how well this went by the fact

0:52:13.760 --> 0:52:15.759
<v Speaker 1>that that guy also was helping the US do a

0:52:15.840 --> 0:52:18.520
<v Speaker 1>rock in Afghanistan, and the only thing he's ever managed

0:52:18.520 --> 0:52:21.440
<v Speaker 1>to accomplish is killing an enormous number of people. He doesn't,

0:52:21.480 --> 0:52:24.080
<v Speaker 1>it was just that he had dubs there. Yeah, he

0:52:24.239 --> 0:52:27.400
<v Speaker 1>was in all those countries. He was heavily involved in

0:52:27.520 --> 0:52:31.320
<v Speaker 1>Aiden and Yemen, which led to two thousand deaths between

0:52:31.360 --> 0:52:35.360
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sixty two and nineteen seventy UM and and today

0:52:35.440 --> 0:52:41.239
<v Speaker 1>British armies still continue the same the same process of

0:52:41.239 --> 0:52:47.000
<v Speaker 1>of overseeing the bombing of Yemen. UM. So this isn't

0:52:47.200 --> 0:52:49.920
<v Speaker 1>mean there's definitely no one the US is innocent of

0:52:50.000 --> 0:52:55.040
<v Speaker 1>just oh no, we're the ones arming h we need

0:52:55.080 --> 0:52:57.920
<v Speaker 1>to Saudi Coalition, whatever you want to call it. That's

0:52:58.000 --> 0:53:00.840
<v Speaker 1>murdering people in Yemen. But I think the Britain doesn't

0:53:00.920 --> 0:53:03.759
<v Speaker 1>have the capacity to to make as many bombs as

0:53:03.800 --> 0:53:05.600
<v Speaker 1>the US is standing to Yem and I would doubt.

0:53:05.719 --> 0:53:08.239
<v Speaker 1>But all of these processes and all of these people

0:53:08.360 --> 0:53:11.640
<v Speaker 1>are still continuing the same colonialism and the same yes,

0:53:11.960 --> 0:53:13.799
<v Speaker 1>all of the same oppression. Like this isn't like, this

0:53:13.840 --> 0:53:17.319
<v Speaker 1>isn't like the past. It's it's an ongoing thing that

0:53:17.360 --> 0:53:21.319
<v Speaker 1>the monarchy awards and perpetuates. They've had to downsize it

0:53:21.360 --> 0:53:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a little bit because you know, it just doesn't work

0:53:23.600 --> 0:53:25.120
<v Speaker 1>as well as it used to. And so the thing

0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:28.040
<v Speaker 1>they decided to do to downsize it was stopped paying

0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:31.360
<v Speaker 1>off the populace um and just start policing them harder.

0:53:31.440 --> 0:53:37.720
<v Speaker 1>And but but the money has kept flowing to the Royals. Yes, yeah, anyway,

0:53:38.360 --> 0:53:41.120
<v Speaker 1>in the Malay emergency, that Britain did pioneer the use

0:53:41.120 --> 0:53:43.239
<v Speaker 1>of Asian orange. So that's another gift that we've given

0:53:43.239 --> 0:53:46.360
<v Speaker 1>to the people of the United States. Ah well, thank

0:53:46.400 --> 0:53:50.120
<v Speaker 1>you James for that. Yeah, welcome anytime. It's that it's

0:53:50.160 --> 0:53:53.640
<v Speaker 1>t cozy's with the Queen on it's stuff coolgies, you know.

0:53:53.760 --> 0:53:56.640
<v Speaker 1>I want to suggest if you are looking for a

0:53:56.680 --> 0:54:00.759
<v Speaker 1>way to properly mourn Queen Elizabeth Um, maybe check out

0:54:00.800 --> 0:54:04.720
<v Speaker 1>the film Churchill The Hollywood Years. A truly exceptional movie.

0:54:04.760 --> 0:54:07.120
<v Speaker 1>If you just type it into Google and look around

0:54:07.160 --> 0:54:09.880
<v Speaker 1>on YouTube, you can find a full copy of it. Um.

0:54:09.960 --> 0:54:13.400
<v Speaker 1>It features Christian Slater as Winston Churchill and Nev Campbell

0:54:13.480 --> 0:54:16.600
<v Speaker 1>as the recently deceased Queen UM. And I don't know

0:54:16.640 --> 0:54:18.440
<v Speaker 1>who it is that they got to play her father,

0:54:18.600 --> 0:54:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the former king, but he's he's basically a portrayed as

0:54:21.760 --> 0:54:24.799
<v Speaker 1>like a drunk and also like every time there's a

0:54:24.800 --> 0:54:27.759
<v Speaker 1>big fancy party, he's just constantly staring at everyone's drinks

0:54:27.800 --> 0:54:30.600
<v Speaker 1>because he's angry that they're drinking is champagne because he's

0:54:30.600 --> 0:54:34.879
<v Speaker 1>a big fucking uh spinthrift Um. Very funny, very good

0:54:34.880 --> 0:54:38.760
<v Speaker 1>send up of the royal family. Um. Also, Heinrich Himler

0:54:38.880 --> 0:54:42.360
<v Speaker 1>conducts a Satanic wedding and by replacing a crucifix with

0:54:42.360 --> 0:54:46.000
<v Speaker 1>a chicken. It's It's a good movie watch life just

0:54:46.080 --> 0:54:48.600
<v Speaker 1>like in real life. I'll also recommend you check out

0:54:48.600 --> 0:54:51.279
<v Speaker 1>the book Royal Babylon. I was able to get it

0:54:51.400 --> 0:54:56.000
<v Speaker 1>a free copy online through great methods. Um So anyway,

0:54:56.080 --> 0:54:59.080
<v Speaker 1>yeah that if you want a nice like poetic history

0:54:59.120 --> 0:55:01.640
<v Speaker 1>of how the queen is sucked up and the monarchy sucks,

0:55:01.960 --> 0:55:04.960
<v Speaker 1>Royal Babylon is a nice easy read. Did you get

0:55:05.000 --> 0:55:08.560
<v Speaker 1>into the balls Lion Sisters as well? Did you do that? Now,

0:55:08.960 --> 0:55:13.120
<v Speaker 1>these two people who were disabled, they are the Queen's cousins.

0:55:13.320 --> 0:55:16.400
<v Speaker 1>They the royal family basically announced they were dead, but

0:55:16.440 --> 0:55:20.759
<v Speaker 1>they weren't dead, and they lived in an institutional home

0:55:20.880 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 1>for I think it was it was called the Royal

0:55:24.160 --> 0:55:27.680
<v Speaker 1>Earth Word Institution for Mental Defectives and great. They lived

0:55:27.680 --> 0:55:30.360
<v Speaker 1>there more or less anonymously, completely discerned by the family

0:55:30.880 --> 0:55:34.799
<v Speaker 1>on a very small stipend until they died. And that

0:55:35.280 --> 0:55:38.680
<v Speaker 1>is not a nice way to treat your cousins. Well, yeah,

0:55:38.719 --> 0:55:42.600
<v Speaker 1>this only spends in my opinion that, yeah, some monarchy

0:55:42.719 --> 0:55:48.719
<v Speaker 1>is bad bad. Something about FUCO and boomerangs and colonialism

0:55:49.040 --> 0:55:52.880
<v Speaker 1>abolished the monarchy. It's always okay to celebrate the death

0:55:53.080 --> 0:55:56.960
<v Speaker 1>of a king or queen, Um, doesn't matter who they are,

0:55:57.480 --> 0:56:01.440
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter how it happens. Um, it's bad for the

0:56:01.480 --> 0:56:05.440
<v Speaker 1>concept of monarchy is the only thing more toxic than

0:56:05.480 --> 0:56:08.880
<v Speaker 1>the concept of inherited wealth. Um, and both are deeply

0:56:08.920 --> 0:56:12.279
<v Speaker 1>tied to each other. Uh, fuck the Queen and fuck

0:56:12.360 --> 0:56:14.560
<v Speaker 1>all of her relatives except for the ones who give

0:56:14.680 --> 0:56:20.280
<v Speaker 1>up their their positions in power. Those people are are cool. Yeah,

0:56:20.440 --> 0:56:23.759
<v Speaker 1>don't turn police people whose parents were killed by colonial

0:56:23.760 --> 0:56:30.560
<v Speaker 1>regimes on. Yeah yeah, and over overthrow the government of Britain. Yeah. Look,

0:56:30.600 --> 0:56:34.200
<v Speaker 1>we always this podcast from the beginning has been directly

0:56:34.280 --> 0:56:37.719
<v Speaker 1>in favor of an insurrection against the crown. The one

0:56:37.760 --> 0:56:39.080
<v Speaker 1>thing that you do have to hand it to the

0:56:39.160 --> 0:56:41.759
<v Speaker 1>Queen for is seeing Liz Trust as Prime Minister and

0:56:41.800 --> 0:56:50.279
<v Speaker 1>immediately dying, which is an appropriate response ritual suicide. And

0:56:50.320 --> 0:56:54.560
<v Speaker 1>you know again, King Sibudho the second did destroy democracy

0:56:54.680 --> 0:56:57.120
<v Speaker 1>in Swaziland, but then he replaced it with something that

0:56:57.239 --> 0:57:00.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of sounds like democracy. And that's more than een

0:57:00.160 --> 0:57:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Elizabeth did. We just started at point B something that

0:57:04.280 --> 0:57:08.040
<v Speaker 1>kind of sounds like I know, I know what King

0:57:08.239 --> 0:57:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna stand in the future. All right, But well

0:57:11.680 --> 0:57:13.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a T shirt I'll be getting you for Christmas.

0:57:13.560 --> 0:57:18.800
