So its that great battle thats emerging , the economy thats emerging, the economy versus the earth. Simon well, i mean, im on the economy side personally, although the way you frame it makes that sound like a bit. Bit. Well, we have to now, dont we. 7 you well, we have to now, dont we . You have to choose a side. I mean, i suppose one thing that will occur to people, if it was possible hit zero by 2050 possible to hit net zero by 2050 anyway, were we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antryny, were we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antry and were we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antry and it . E we going possible to hit net zero by 2050 antry and it . E w possible to hit net zero by 2050 antry and it . E wing to try and do it . So, i mean, its a point. Its a good point. Mean, you can be i dont i mean, you can be cynical about this and say that hes to the hes trying to win over the people they did in uxbridge people like they did in uxbridge that ulez , you know, that are against ulez, you know, Small Businesses and the countrys Top University after all. Well, should know. Yes. Yes. I do think there is a theres a kind of there is obviously, as we always know in politics, there is this kind of like between economy and the between the economy and the earth. Winning earth. Its between winning the next and all next election, isnt it . And all of the term views. But of the longer term views. But there is definitely also a sense that nobody quite prepared that nobody was quite prepared for of pain that this for the amount of pain that this was create. And we was going to create. And we havent created the infrastructure yet. Infrastructure for it yet. Well, according what well, according to what i have heard, that the car have heard, is that the car manufacturers, especially in america , they want to go to net america, they want to go to net zero because theyve been retraining their whole retooling and for them to say were not going to do it now is like not just for that reason, but also, as im sure you youll be youll agree because its more profitable, agree because its more profitabliare. They get to sell they are. They get to sell new cars. I mean, they have this whole you they they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe you they they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe yand they they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe yand exactly zy they new cars. I mean, they have this wholthe yand exactly the 1ey love the idea. And exactly the same brutally honest same way, to be brutally honest , that the british airports did quite nicely out of 911 because as by, you know, creating all these new jobs, creating all these new jobs, creating all these new jobs, creating all these new security measures, brutalising people, psychologically creating the necessity for an hour and a half , sitting around in a departure lounge before the flight leaves, they sell you know, the most profitable part, all of these things that they try and pretend are of great, you are like some kind of great, you know, moral crusade. You know, they can a of money out they can make a lot of money out of they will new cars, you of they will sell new cars, you know , they would much rather you know, they would much rather you bought three bought a new car every three years. Are. Years. They are. I mean, it should a i mean, it should not be a surprise we are surprise to anyone that we are ill to prepared any ill to prepared achieve any of this were all prepared this by 2030. Were all prepared to by 2050. And its to achieve it by 2050. And its just its just striving for an ideology. But it doesnt take ideology. But it doesnt take into account any compromise whatsoever. And it just cant be done. You cant just cut over. You cant i mean, everyones got their anecdotal got their own anecdotal experience. In brighton. Experience. I live in brighton. I like to have an i would quite like to have an electric everything was electric car if everything was to into place, i wouldnt to fall into place, i wouldnt have problem at all. Have a problem with that at all. I onesi as i quite like the ones i get as taxis on. Know , taxis and so on. You know, theres one car in 50 could get charged up in brighton at a time. Nobody has driveways. These are victorian houses , these are victorian houses, george and some of them, you know, apartment buildings where are charge their are people going to charge their cars . Facility for cars . There is no facility for it, right . Putting and its and its putting and its putting the electric generation somewhere the greatest somewhere else. The greatest thing in the history of the world has been of fossil world has been the use of fossil fuel. Warm an fuel. Its made people warm an and not hungry. Absolutely. Let there be absolutely. Let there be light. Yeah hayhoe moving on to the eye news. Louis this storm is set to reject eu eus new master plan. And i you know what . Its a bit complicated. Its basically the french and the germans are saying we dont like it with other people being involved. I think when they when they first started the eu, it was the french idea. We will control, well have like an america of europe and then the germans said, okay, let us in. We dont care. Well let you do care. Well let you do everything. We just want to have friends. After world war, friends. Yeah, after world war, certainly the french, the french enjoyed agricultural supremacy. Enjoyed agricultural supremacy. The germans were forced to sort of share their coal and iron a little and, know iron a little bit. And, you know , and people got along. , and people got along. Theyre so theyre basically theyre saying british people, saying to the british people, well a separate category well have a separate category for you guys. Yeah. And it wont for you guys. Yeah. And it wont be like were not asking you to marry us. Its more like friends with benefits. Yeah. And it will take over from the eu in about three years. Its european league, its a European Super League, isnt right, isnt it . Basically. Right, because when they had the European Super League in football, this country football, nobody in this country wanted because already football, nobody in this country wantethe because already football, nobody in this country wantethe european already football, nobody in this country wantethe european superzady football, nobody in this country wantethe European Super League have the European Super League in league. Well, in the premier league. Well, exactly. Yeah. Well. You exactly. Yeah. Well. And you couldnt relegated either. Couldnt be relegated either. No, mean this whole thing is no, i mean this whole thing is hypothetical anyway, and its a kind a there is some cynicism kind of a there is some cynicism going on here. This has got a lot to do with the fact that starmer is visiting macron today at the visiting macron today at and the french putting french are essentially putting pressure on because they pressure on starmer because they know that within the support of the labour party, theres still a lot of remain voters who would lap this stuff up because its eu by proxy. So therefore and eu by proxy. So therefore and his stance still is were not rejoining but this is a way to do it without rejoining and this is exactly this isnt just like eu remainer heaven. This is exactly what they always wanted is croissants by the seine. You know. Exactly. Thats all theyre really interested yeah but the interested in. You. Yeah but the french and the germans, the eu people, think its. People, i think its. Its a dream that they have because realise because they dont realise that france and germany, theyre screwed. Theyre screwed demographically, theyre screwed economically. They think economically. They think theyre. They. They think theyre. They. They think theyre team theyre going to control team world and, and whats going to happenis world and, and whats going to happen is my prediction is that team going to go its team world is going to go its going to get stronger and stronger its going going to get stronger and str no, theyre not trying. Team world trying to defend world is not trying to defend themselves against china or russia. Trying russia. Theyre trying to destroy and britain. Destroy america and britain. Thats other team. Thats the other team. Okay. What is the Financial Times . Have paul and canada and india, those big foes, canada and india expel a diplomats as rift deeper over murder claim. Rift deeper over murder claim. So this is the murder of Hardeep Singh nijjar prominent sikh leader in british columbia. And he was shot dead by two masked gunmen in the province in june of this year. And the canadian Prime Minister has said that he has it on Good Authority , that there are credible allegations that new delhi was involved in the murder. So this kind of by which they mean modis government. Yes, they do. You know, its kind of echoes of litvinenko and the kind of stuff thats gone on in the uk before. Hes essentially saying that, you know, its a its a big threat to their sovereignty, the sort of thing anyone would say if there was a diplomatic murder on the sikh, the victim was an activist trying to get support for sikh separatist state. Thats my understanding. Reading this story, he was in canada on a sort of like a drumming up a little bit of funds or something. So he is a prominent leader in british columbia, so he must have been well established. And to be to be fair. Simon, this this story is relatively new to me. Id only heard about it today for the first time because because it made the headunes because because it made the headlines and i only read about it for the first time this evening. Believe that evening. But i believe that the guy prominent leader guy was a prominent sikh leader unked guy was a prominent sikh leader linked youre linked to the things that youre saying he has saying within india. And he has been out essentially. I been taken out essentially. I mean, should say, balance mean, i should say, for balance that india are claiming that its absurd and motivated, motivated by what . Its hard to imagine anybody else killing a masked gunman , else killing a masked gunman, killing a sikh activist. It seems it seems an unusual target, doesnt it . And this story is a very everyone loves the sikhs. Right. Whether we like the sikhs country. Sikhs in this country. Theres been lot of but theres been a lot of animosity between the sikhs and the and the hindu hindus. Animosity between the sikhs and the and the hindu hindus. And as the and the hindu hindus. And as a of fact, whats his a matter of fact, whats his name . There was there was a sikh. Believe not, the. The believe it or not, the indians hire the sikhs to be their bodyguards for their Prime Minister and one of them killed. Maybe, maybe nehru or gandhi or somebody. Yeah, i think he was bizarrely. Yeah, right. So and the sikhs are i dont know too much about them. I dont have any inherent hostility to them. I could develop some, but hons them. I could develop some, but lions alive right. Them. I could develop some, but lions alive right. But them. I could develop some, but lions alive right. But they, lions alive right. But they, they have a they they are the warrior, as far as i know , the warrior, as far as i know, the warrior, as far as i know, the warrior class of the indian subcontinent. And so held in very high esteem by the kind of alt right traditionalists , you alt right traditionalists, you know, and regarded as as having a code of chivalry. And so on that weve long since lost sight of is that us . Is that me then. I like them. If finally ending this if thats finally ending this section with the metro louis oh, this is the toughest subject we got. Tv sex assault got. Tv comics, sex assault claims, toxic brand. This is this is this. This is the cutting edge of the wedge edge thats going between the team world and team britain or team america is theyre going after russell Russell Brand. Maybe he did what he did. I mean, if he if he didnt do what he did, id be surprised because he was had a tremendous reputation for doing yeah. Say doing that. Yeah. And they say he hiding in broad daylight, he was hiding in broad daylight, but he wasnt hiding. He was telling everyone he wasnt even hiding. Hiding. Absolutely e absolutely youre absolutely right. The same called the same term they called the documentary plain sight. Yeah documentary in plain sight. Yeah and reference and hes obviously a reference to term, phrase everyone to the term, the phrase everyone used savage. The used about savage. Right the savage weird, savage was obviously this weird, sleazy on kids sleazy character, always on kids tv. And, uh, so he was tv shows. And, uh, and so he was hiding. Brand was not hiding in plain sight. He was literally going, im an incredibly promiscuous. Im only here to try and get laid. Try and get laid. And he was and everyone was like, yes , yes, get him on, book like, yes, yes, get him on, book him, book him, right. And now they dont want him because end because basically, at the end of the all about the day, what this is all about is he switched teams and nobody likes team switcher, im afraid. I think is some i mean, i think there is some i mean, its been a four year investigation and that predates so i dont know. But investigation and that predates so i dont know. But i investigation and that predates so i dont know. But i know what so i dont know. But i know what you mean. It kind of smacks of that somehow its hard to escape that, isnt it . W e point . It was a can i add one point . It was a four team. Four year four year team. Four year investigation. But investigation. Yeah but yesterday or today, channel 4 Just Announced were going to have our own investigation because we didnt investigate it yet. It was on the because we didnt investigate it yet. It was on the air. Its a total hatchet. So the chinese walls within these organisations are quite something. But anyway, that is it for part one coming up. We have britains woes.
