Good evening. Good evening everyone. I can see all the messages coming up at the side.  Though I'm hearing that a lot of employers don't necessarily call it that because well it's our culture and can't have that. Everyone else's culture is given a nod. I hear even that we've been, some have called it spring break which is new. As I was saying earlier the only spring break I know about is the one with American University students heading off to Florida for a few drinks shall we say. So spring break is now a phrase being used because anything but our culture as you know. Anyway that little whinge over I hope you've had a nice Easter. Right I'm going to start this here. I'm going to talk about a few things. I'm going to talk about the French presidential election a little bit later. I want also to talk about the rapid and increasingly rapid the acceleration of our descent into communism. It's what it is. It walks like a duck and all that. With universal income, universal basic income and this is we're rapidly going into this and this is of course one of those things that will be easy to sell to a public which is in trouble financially. Some would say that this well some would be right that the financial problems we have are caused by mismanagement and those problems will then be plastered over with a band-aid by offering us money. And that money of course well first of all is paying for it and of course that money comes with conditions attached. They're buying your freedom and rapidly. This is happening very quickly and we will be heading towards what the world economic forum described as owning nothing but being happy. Well I don't know about the happy part but we're definitely heading towards owning nothing. But before all of that I want to mention the Tory's latest trick and the minute I saw this I knew it was a gimmick, a trick, an illusion. I was like a magician on a stage during these illusions and the audience is lapsed up. So we were told during the week that Pretty Patel has made an arrangement with Rwanda to send the illegal immigrants coming in by the thousand, send these people to Rwanda and of course people went, the usual suspects went crazy, can possibly possibly do that, can't do that. It's unthinkable, it's inhuman, it's ungodly according to the Bishop of, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Another left-winger, only is a left-winger.  Making them look like they want to or will do anything at all about the thousands of illegal immigrants coming into the country on a regular basis. When I first started I knew it was answers. The reason I know that the Tories don't want to and won't do anything about the thousands of people coming in is because they've had every opportunity to and have done nothing, in fact they've done worse than nothing, they've made the situation much worse and the numbers keep going up and up and up but they got their headline with this Rwanda trick. So everyone thinks the Tories are going to do something but there's a bit of a twist and I'm going to read this to you. This is from the Daily Mail 17th of April so two days ago, always, always, always read the small print. Britain has agreed to take refugees in from Rwanda under Pretty Battales landmark deal. Those who fled war or persecution and were granted asylum status by Rwanda will be able to come to the UK under a reciprocal scheme signed by the Home Secretary last week. I talk about political theatre, this is a great example. All they're doing is trying to grab a headline and they know full well that people will see that headline, feel somewhat reassured and then go about their business and when election time comes and these people are concerned about the immigration issue they will think, well I remember the Tories did this, I remember something about it in the papers, I trust the Tories with it, it's certainly better than Labour and that's the trick, that's the political theatre. The reality is this. This crucial detail in the agreement's small print, which could lead critics to reappraise the agreement, emerged only after Ms Patel returned from the East African nation on Friday. It states, the agreement states, the participants will make arrangements for the United Kingdom to resettle a portion of Rwanda's most vulnerable refugees in the United Kingdom, recognising both participants' commitment towards providing better international protection for refugees. The Home Office has been quick to say, well this will only apply to tens of people, not hundreds, give me a break. Tens of people who have already been granted refugee status in Rwanda. However, the Home Office has told us, no, no, no, we're talking a couple of dozen people here. That's what the Home Office is saying. The agreement, however, says nothing of the kind. The agreement says that there is no limit to the number of asylum seekers we will be taking out of Rwanda. No limit, and the refugees who are brought to this country are likely to be those with the most complex needs it is understood, such as those with physical or mental health problems. You're looking forward to that?   I'd say most people have some sort of emotional issue, or it's part of life, but we're not really talking about that. We were talking about people with mental health problems, which caused them to go out and ram trucks into Christmas shoppers or machete total strangers on the streets, or in Sligo, rural Sligo, this most rural part of Ireland, which has been thoroughly enriched with multicultural diversity, that two gay men were decapitated and castrated in recent days in Sligo by someone who I've no doubt will be described as having mental health problems. All over Europe, we've had people demonstrate their or exhibit their mental health problems, and it hasn't made our countries any safer. Let's put it that way. So, will the Tory government be concerned about who's coming here from Rwanda?  One is that we are getting rid of the so-called refugees, we're not, we're just getting different ones, as if we'd do this at all. My guess is that we won't send any at all, but we'll end up taking plenty. The left here will go crazy and nobody will be sent, but we'll end up taking people out of Rwanda, because we don't already have enough pressure, and we don't already have enough mental health problems. So there's the truth of it, that's the Tories, and like I say, my guess is, my guess is that in actuality what will happen is nobody is sent to Rwanda, Rwanda at all, but we will end up taking people from Rwanda, and according to the agreement Pratipa Tal has just signed, there'll be no limit on the numbers we take from Rwanda. More enrichment coming our way. So let's move on to the universal basic income. I want to show you a quick video for this one, and then we'll go through a couple of the articles that I've mentioned in this video. This is one that was posted, I don't know, a week or so ago from our old friend Katie Hopkins. Have a listen to this. I'm a lot more about universal basic income. So an income you receive every month from the government regardless of your background or your income or your wealth or what you own or don't own, you receive this basic income.  So it appears that they will implement this within the next year. The bill that this pertains to is the S233 bill, and it's just gone back to the Senate for its second reading. And of course everyone's being very dismissive about any kind of conspiracy theories and talking about how wonderful this will be and how it's just a framework, it's a notion, it's for people's betterment.  The idea in Canada is that every citizen from the age of 17 through 64 will receive a basic income each month, that's the equivalent of about $18,000 a year. And this will also mean that the cost to someone will be about $85 billion a year, the cost will be around $85 billion. One question, who's going to foot that bill? But Canada's not alone in this. Ireland are going to introduce a universal basic income for artists. So the idea is that after COVID it's the culture segment of society that's been most significantly impacted. So 2,000 artists will be paid a monthly income of around I think 1,500 euros in order to sustain themselves. There won't be any qualifying factors for this, there won't be any kind of approval process required, it's going to be done on a Kavinka kind of lottery and it will be in place for about three years. So an income received by you for doing absolutely nothing at all in Palm Springs in America, one of my favorite places actually in the desert, they have just announced a universal basic income of $900 a month. Again, no fundamental qualifying factors, no need to go through a rigorous application process in Palm Springs, all you have to do to be able to access your universal basic income is be trans. And it's probably going to sound like I'm making this up, I'm not. Just search Palm Springs, trans, universal basic income, all you have to do to get a guaranteed income from the government is decide that you are trans. So this is a theme, these are the pilot case studies going on, Canada will be spearheading this and of course we can see it developing in our own country. You can see where this heads as well when people are dependent on the state, the state has full control. People imagine this will be money in your bank account, you can spend as you will. Well, what happens when it becomes credits and you can only allocate them as the government sees fit. If you wish to own stuff, how will you own it if the government doesn't approve the allocation of credits against it? And how long do you think it will be before the government's telling you you have this many carbon credits?  Do you see where universal basic income is heading? It is not this soft furry thing that needs to be petted and admired. It is a surefire way of introducing communism or socialism. And it is another step down the slippery slope and it is being debated in the Senate in Canada right now and Trudeau already has his pathway set to bring this in. Remember, if you're not vaccinated in Canada, you can't use a train, you can't leave the country, you can't get on a plane, so you're stuck there while this pilot scheme takes place. I think it is worth bearing in mind a few things. It's that if you are called a conspiracy theorist and alienated or isolated by friendship groups, sometimes that is just the price you have to pay for being right. And when it turns out that you are right, you cannot expect that record to be corrected. Nobody will ever come back around and say, gosh, Katie, you were right all along. You just have to bear the scarves with some kind of pride. And one of the things we will have to do if we are going to push back against this is work together. We're going to have to work together against the propaganda. We're going to have to work together to hold on to what we own because we are all looking down a slippery slope where you will own nothing and you will be happy. At least that's what we're being told. So great words from Katie there. But I did what she asked and I went and looked up, googled the stuff that she talked about. And yes, in Ireland, we've got a on the government's website, a basic income for the arts of people are being given money for no reason, no, no qualification. And the Palm Springs one, the one where you have to say you are, well, if you say you have to say, but if you say you are trans and let's face it, more and more people are trans now, you can get some money for it. So from the Los Angeles Times, it says the city of Palm Springs will allocate $200,000 to develop a guaranteed income pilot program for transgender and non-binary residents. It's like parody. It's like something Titania would say, but it isn't Titania at all. I'm just going to say reality. I also love what Katie said about, they never come back to you and admit you were right. You be called every name one of the song.  And when it's true, when it proves itself to be true, no one comes back to you and says, oh, you were right about that, sorry. The actually what happens is that the people who called you a conspiracy theorist and a nut job will pretend they agreed all along. That's what really happens. There's no apology. People just pretend the rewrite history and say, well, yeah, I knew that all along. I said that all along. But anyway, to carry on with this, City Council members in Palm Springs voted unanimously to pay DAP health, I don't know what that is, some organization at a DAP health and queer works to design the program and apply for state funding. The first of three phases outlined in a city report to bring the proposed project to fruition. The decision arrives amid a flurry of nationwide legislation aimed at restricting the rights of transgender youth. Now that's that's the LA Times lying completely as the mainstream press will lie. No one is restricting the rights of what they're referring to there, by the way, in restricting the rights of transgender youth is the legislation that is happening in various states across America that is banning biological males from entering female sporting contests. This is what they describe as restricting the rights of transgender youth. No, it's protecting the rights of girls to compete at sport on a fair basis. Council member Christy Holstead, who brought the matter to the meeting, said Monday that she felt incredibly proud of the city for coming down on quote, the right side of history, wherever we had that before, and supporting our trans and non-binary gender non-conforming community. It's almost too much, it really is. I saw an example of this on a YouTube video today, some kid, seven-year-old kid in America whose father has said he's trans still looks entirely just like a bloke. And by incredible coincidence, this guy's seven-year-old child is now also trans. Isn't that amazing? You'd have two trans people in one family like that, absolutely. Statistically, it's, well, used to be in the same world, very, almost impossible, but today we're not living in the same world. And so a seven-year-old child of a trans man, woman, I get a bit confused. But anyway, it looks entirely like a bloke. This seven-year-old was on this YouTube clip, and the reason this seven-year-old boy who is now trans-ing to a girl, the reason this boy thinks he's a girl and entirely encouraged in all this by his father is, and this is what the kids said on the clip, I don't like football. Therefore, I must be a girl. This is where we are. And we are now, an American city is not only entertaining this obscenity and the ludicrous, I have no words for how ludicrous it is, concept of non-binary, not just acknowledging it and giving it the time that it should be laughed out of the elected chambers of our countries, but giving money to people who identify as trans and non-binary. And if you think that that's not going to increase the number of people in that city identifying as trans and non-binary, I suggest you think again. It's not impossible for this to happen here. We know this already because, we know it already because we're all going down the same road of madness, it's already being trialled here. So on the 9th of March 2022, the worst newspaper in Britain, and that is saying something the Independent reported, that the Welsh Government's trial of a universal basic income will pay around 500 people £1,600 a month, the devolved administration has announced. Under the pilot policy, some vulnerable young people will be paid £19,200 a year from their 18th birthday, £19,200 a year. That is not bad money, it is more than a lot of people are taking home for working long hours.  Mass immigration is a good thing, you've got to reach out to people, you've got to rescue people, they tug at the heartstrings. So as they introduce this, they will also tug at the heartstrings and they will do it in a step by step basis in a way that will make you look heartless if you object. So they're starting this with young people coming out of care. So if you object to this, you'll be accused of not caring about or wanting to punish or how can you be so cruel, these are young people coming out of care, they need help, well yes they do and it would be much better to help them get into work and stand on their own two feet as independent self-sufficient adults, that would be much better but that's not what this is about. We know what this is about, Katie Hopkins said it clearly and she's right, this is about paying us for our freedom and doing it at a time when cost of living is in crisis, our cost of living is going to go up and up and up caused by the mismanagement of governments, no need for it at all. So it's that chain reaction isn't it, create a problem, offer a solution to that problem, the problem need never have happened in the first place and the solution is almost as toxic if not more so than the problem itself. So we're rapidly, rapidly transitioning now that it's accelerating rapidly and it will come with conditions and who, as Katie says, who's paying for this? Genuinely, where is the money coming from for all this? If people aren't, if more and more people aren't working, who's paying the income tax to pay for this and that, there's not exactly sound economics behind this either, rapid, rapid descent into communism. Right, let's have a look at the French presidential election. It is very exciting. We've got till Sunday, Sundays when the next round happens. I said last week that it's complicated, look it's actually not complicated at all, just sort of sounds complicated. So how does it work? There are two rounds to the French presidential election. The first one has all the candidates in it and the top two, whoever gets the most votes, the top two with the most votes, go again, head to head in a second round. If someone in the first round were to go over 50% then obviously, that's the majority and they would become president but apparently that hasn't happened since Napoleon, if at all, I've heard conflict and stories about it. So we are into, the first round has happened and the top two were Emmanuel Macron, the current globalist, principal less, you know who he is, Emmanuel Macron and his challenger is Marine Le Pen. She has, she did better in the first round than she did this time than she did last time. But let's have a look at a video and it's all show us a little bit as well how our press is talking about Marine Le Pen. Let's have a look. This is from a couple of days ago from Sky News. Marine Le Pen versus Emmanuel Macron, the rematch. The pair first faced off in 2017 when Macron took the presidency. Voters are taking to the polls again to decide between them but what's different this time. First let's look at Marine Le Pen. It's the third time the far right candidate has run. Previously she's hammered home anti-immigration, anti-Muslim and anti-EU sentiment but this time round she's had a PR revamp and presented herself as much softer in an attempt to detoxify her image. She has backtracked on some of his more controversial stances and embraced republicanism. She's also expelled militants holding excessively radical views which included her own father and founder of the party, Jean-Marie Le Pen. And finally in 2018 she changed the party's name from Fournationale to Rassamon National or National Rally as it's known in English. She's been helped along the way by an even further right candidate, Eric Zamour who has spouted controversial replacement conspiracies. In comparison to Zamour who has said white Europeans are being replaced by non-Europeans, Le Pen comes across as moderate. In terms of her policies this time she's on the right on cultural issues and on the left on economic ones and with her radical plan to scrap income tax for those under 30 she's really appealed to the young. The cost of living crisis is at the core of her campaign in this election as she tries to align herself with the poor and working class. Le Pen has been campaigning to cut VAT on fuel, gas and electricity from 20% to 5.5% appealing to those struggling with rising energy costs. As president Emmanuel Macron is not the same man we saw go up against Marine Le Pen in 2017. He's no longer the fresh-faced upstart he was. He stayed France through a global pandemic faced off with Putin and secured an impressive low unemployment rate and high growth. So Macron is seen as having the qualities to be a statesman and to really defend and protect the image of France in the world. The problem is that he also does not come across as someone who is close to the people so he's frequently viewed as someone who's quite detached and who does not understand let's say the man on the streets problem. So he has still this kind of a spore of a president of the rich which potentially makes it a little bit tricky for him to speak to certain sections of the electorate that he probably does need to actually win the election. The Macron of 2022 is also economically and socially more towards the right. His flagship policy of raising the retirement age has also made him very unpopular. The first round of voting is mainly to decide which two candidates will face each other in the second. It is possible for a candidate to win in the first round but they'll need over 50 percent of the vote. This has only happened once when Napoleon won 74 percent of the votes. This year Macron 27.8 percent and Le Pen got 23.2 percent. Not far behind was the far left candidate Melenchon who got 22 percent of the vote. Though he didn't make the final race his share of the vote is very significant and here's why. Going from 12 candidates to just two means that all those other votes are up for grabs. Far right candidate Eric Zemur seven percent are most likely to go to Le Pen but less certain are where Melenchon's voters will go representing over one-fifth of voters. They're key to who will win and they could go one of three ways. Some of them are going to go to Macron because they dislike Marine Le Pen's social conservatism, her very hard-line stance on immigration and nationalism, her non-progressive and non-inclusive attitudes towards things like LGBT rights. But there's another group who are going to be persuaded by Le Pen because she is actually quite similar to Melenchon in her attitudes towards France's position on the global stage. She's not keen on the EU, she's hostile to NATO, she wants to introduce more governments by referenda. On all of those fronts she's actually quite similar to Melenchon and like him she has tried to position herself as a voice of the neglected working class. So there is a core electorate there for Melenchon that will swing to her. And then there's a third group who are probably not going to vote for either candidate. And for all of them, abstention is an appealing choice because they don't like either candidate. Keita securing votes and the issue top of the list in voters' minds is the cost of living crisis. The so-called president of the rich may initially be on the back foot here, but he could yet unveil new policies in this area. Le Pen on the other hand has been focusing on this during her campaign, promising cheaper petrol and essential goods and banning immigrants from welfare. Meanwhile Macron has been preoccupied with the war in Ukraine. When it first broke out it was a big boost for Macron because he was seen as being very presidential while the other candidates struggled to get a look at him because this dominated the headlines. But as the campaign has progressed it's come to hurt him because he's had to focus too much on that at the expense of the rest of the election campaign and voters are now feeling ignored and that he's not taking the election seriously enough. Le Pen herself has had close ties with Putin, not only a long-standing supporter, she even took a loan from him which she is still paying back. That track record remains and I think Macron is going to try harder now to pull her down on it. The big question is can the far right really win the French presidency? Oh dear, I mean the horror at the end of it from this unbiased press, do you know Sky News actually present themselves, they advertise themselves as unbiased, not hilarious, they actually go out of their way to advertise themselves as unbiased. The horror at the end of it can the far right actually win a French presidential election, a major Western country, can it have a far right, whatever that is, president? Yes it can and if the bias isn't clear enough, the press is unbelievable, in all this unbelievable, chocking in a picture of her with Putin at the end, knowing that we are in the midst of a press media assault regarding Putin, they have to throw this in at the end. A couple of things, just a couple of comments on it, but of course the obvious question to ask is what on earth they mean by far right, what is it? They even admit that economically she's further to the left. So what is, is it simply that she has a patriotic view of the world, that she cares intensely about her identity as French and in shockingly she wants France to exist. Is that shocking? I saw one woman who is a Le Pen supporter being interviewed and she put it, I just want France to be French. According to the left this woman's a Nazi? Of course because the Nazis also wanted France to be French didn't they? Macron has hit back at Le Pen with, she's come out with policies and she is winning over a lot of people, interestingly a lot of young people and also interestingly a lot of people in French overseas territories. This will be worrying the establishment and the left-wing press, no doubt. So they're going to expect in the next few days in the lead-up to Sunday, expect this to be ramped up. It'd be interesting actually to be in France and see what kind of coverage it's getting but throughout that report by Sky News and this is something that is often directed at me as well and others who care about countries existing and want to preserve countries. These are the words that she presents herself as, in other words it's not really, she doesn't really think these things, these are not policies she really believes in, she is presenting herself as believing it. That language is not an accident, it is used to subconsciously persuade the reader or the listener or the viewer that Le Pen is not acting in good faith, that what she says cannot be taken at face value and they do that simply by using language like she presents herself. She has undergone a PR exercise to make herself softer, tries to position herself as another one but within that we had her described as she tries to align herself with the poor and working class, tries to align herself or she actually does care about the poor and working class. Imagine that, maybe she actually does care but they can't even allow that possibility to be communicated to people so they use language like tries to align herself with. She has policies that will help the poor and working class. The French people who are not a part of the woke progressive agenda who are not jumping up and down with excitement at mass immigration turning France into something unrecognizable, who are seeing their jobs, the jobs market flooded, who are seeing a reduction in their living standards and no one speaks to them because the political class is too busy with woke agendas and jumping up and down with excitement over the transformation of Western countries into non-Western countries.  So let's have a look at some of the figures on this election and see what's going on. This is from the Telegraph today. It is putting current polls today put Macron on 53% with Le Pen on 47%. Let's not be too downhearted about that. We know that polls can be wrong but it is still a strong position for her to be in. So the Telegraph describes it like this, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen will fight it out in the second round after claiming the two top spots. Polls had long predicted that the two candidates would face each other. All eyes are now on the second round. Currently the poll says I've just described 53 to him 47 to her but it says Le Pen is quickly catching up. Less than a month ago she was almost 20 percentage points behind and is currently polling far higher than she did in their previous head to head in 2017. The national rally leader has seen a transformation in her support since the last election despite competitors on the far right. There's no, you can't get away from it, you cannot get away from it. Targeting her traditional base. So let's have a look at the figures. From the first round 27% to Macron 23% to Le Pen and the Melenchon candidate is a socialist left-wing candidate on 20, almost 22, 21.95%. And as this, as was addressed in this clip from Sky News where his support will go will be very interesting. Eric Zemmour who made the comments that white Europeans are being replaced and which was described as the replacement conspiracy theory. While I'm on that just for a second, conspiracy theory. If you Google white minority in Europe you will find the last days of a white world by the Guardian. Whites will be a minority in Britain by 2051, economic times, and a few other anti-white, dripping in anti-white articles. But the one that hits the top spot is the last days of a white world. We are near a global watershed, says the Guardian, a time when white people will not be in the majority in the developed world. It says the most significant milestone in one of the most profound changes to affect the US in the past century and yet a non-event last week, the US Census Bureau issued figures showing that non-Hispanic whites make up 49% of the population of California. It goes on. I'm going to post this into the comments here so you can have a read of it. So it's not a conspiracy theory at all. It is admitted by the elite. It is admitted by the left wing but for them it's a cause for celebration that white majority countries will be a thing of the past. For many white people, particularly as we live in such an anti-white world, this is something quite worrying and concerning for them. But don't say so because that will make you far right. So where this, getting back to the figures from the force realm, where this guy is the third place, where his support goes, will be very interesting. Zemore has said, has encouraged his supporters to back Le Pen. But because some of our policies are, as is admitted, economic policies at least, varying towards the left, it may be, whereas some of Macron's economic policies varies towards the right, it may be that some of his support goes to Le Pen. Will it be enough? We will have to wait and see. But to finish on a positive, to finish this section on a positive, this is the closest Marine Le Pen has ever come. She is in a far better position than she has been in previous elections. She's winning the support of a lot of young people, which is really, really interesting. And she is winning the support of overseas territories, which a lot on the left cannot fathom or understand. I read about one today, which is collapsing in crime, small island near Madagascar, steeped in crime, steeped in huge influx of immigration and, with it, clashes of all kinds and increasing crime. And they voted for, it is a black island, and they voted overwhelmingly for Le Pen. In fact, she won over 50% in the first round there. And the left is scratching its head, wondering how a black community can be voting for Le Pen. Well, because they don't want the crime, and they don't want the transformation, and they're sick and tired of woke multicultural, globalist nonsense. That's why they're voting for Le Pen. But of course, the left will never understand this. They don't understand why anyone's allowed to disagree with them at all. They don't understand why anyone's allowed to not have the same ill thought out, stupid opinions for one for better time than they do. Right, a couple of questions. Is it feasible to bring a private prosecution against the home secretary if a migrant from Rwanda commits murder, seeing as she signed the legislation to allow them here? Any crime that has been committed against British people from by migrants, by illegal immigrants? I won't say by migrants, I'll say by illegal immigrants. Is the fault of the government anyway? I realise that's a very specific question. And off the top of my head, I would say probably, but the likelihood of doing it is somewhere between slim and none. First of all, I'd imagine it would cost a lot of money. And secondly, you would struggle to even get anyone in the system to ask questions like that. But I'll tell you what I'm going to do, Stu. I'm going to have a look. I'm going to have a look and see what I can find. And I promise I'll come back to that next week. But off the top of my head, my thinking is possibly, if not probably, there is a legal mechanism for this. But I'll have to research it and find out. Okay, good evening, Michael. I guess we agree on hoping for Marine Le Pen success, I'd imagine. I'd imagine most of us do. But to be honest, my favourite was Eric Zemmour. Do you have an opinion on him? Yeah, I have an opinion based on very little, to be honest, to be very frank about it, because I don't know a great deal about him. I have in reading about this election, the one we're in at the moment, heard him say some things that have really impressed me. And the press, including what he said about replacement of white Europeans, it's true. Just not allowed to dislike that fact. The press panic when people say things like this. But what I, what I'm particularly pleased about, and it was addressed in the Sky News report, if it's true that he has provided, I don't see anything extreme about what he said, but people have their opinions, at least informed by press and their panic about people who say these things. If it's true that he has been portrayed as even more extreme than Marine Le Pen, that even in the eyes of the mainstream press can only help Marine Le Pen. Anything that helps Marine Le Pen, I'm happy with. But I have managed to form an opinion on him. And look, it just, just for the comment we've mentioned, it takes serious guts to say something like that. And for him to have got the support that he did, and you saw that scene, that actually quite beautiful scene of a sea of French flags, the Eiffel Tower in the background, absolutely wonderful, to get that spirit going, and to give people who want to fly the French flag, to give them that kind of hope is always a good thing. How is your campaign going? Thank you, Stu. It's going well. Yeah, we'll see. We'll see. I'm working very, very hard, getting a lot of literature out. I'm happy with how the campaign is going so far. I suspect, though, that we are getting closer and closer. We've got, it'll be a week, where are we? Let me see. How much time do we have left? So we've got a week and a half thereabouts. No, we don't. No, we don't. What am I saying? We've got two weeks and two days. Exactly two weeks and two days. So what I expect might happen is that as we get close, particularly in the week of the election, that the usual suspects will crawl out from under their rocks and start to put out poisonous little leaflets full of lies, which is what they do. I saw on social media that some trade unions up here in the northeast, some northeast conglomerate of some sort of trade unions in the northeast, worried, panicking, looking for people to come to Hartlepool and campaign against me. In terms of the candidates where I'm standing, there is myself, an independent labourer and Tory. Look, let's see. Let's see what happens. But I am happy with how the campaign is going so far. And I would ask people to help out if you can. Coming into the last week, the left are going to be out. They're going to come out. And I get encouragement from this. I was pleased when I saw these trade unions in the northeast rallying people. It means they're worried. Good, they should be worried. I'd be more concerned if they weren't worried. I will say one thing though. I had an interesting conversation with a woman on her doorstep when I was doing some campaigning. I was doing some leafletting and she was in her garden, so I handed her a leaflet and asked her if she was going to vote and what happened. She said, I am going to vote. But I'm worried about this candidate who apparently wants to chuck all immigrants out of the country and I guess for Eastern European, and she said, I'm not happy about that. I came here legally, I pay my taxes and this person, she clearly didn't know she was talking to this person, well, who was supposed to be this person, wants to throw me out of the country. And I sort of laughed a little bit. And you know, it's an autology that she says, well, this is what I hear. I said, well, I can tell you someone's lying. This is not true. She knew by them by the fact that I was smiling at her and she smiled back to be fair. She knew that she was talking to the very person she'd been warned about. And I said, I can assure you that isn't true. That someone is lying to you. And she showed me in the end she would go in and look at my, look at the party's website. Well, what's, some people would worry and think, oh no, I've got to be, there's someone's telling people that I want to chuck every single immigrant out of the country. What I got from that is they're talking about me. This is fantastic news. Always good news. So they're scared. And I'm being talked about. Always, always good news. So in answer to your questions to, I'm happy enough with how it's going. Can you think of any incentives to give businesses, to give businesses to continue to use cash? Now that's a really good question. And one thing I have addressed on this before is that I think we must stop banks penalizing businesses for using cash as is happening in example, for example, in Sweden, that shouldn't be allowed. We should also make it unlawful for businesses to refuse to deal in cash. So it can't be any more expensive. And it can't be allowed for businesses to refuse to deal in cash. But there are two things that after this election, we are going to work on as a party. National policies, one will be on direct democracy. The second will be on cashlessness. And yes, I think there must be incentives. And we must also, we've got to do a carrot and a stick with this. It is crucial. People have got to be aware, I think, of the importance of this. If we lose cash, we lose, I don't know, I'm preaching to the converted here, but it's important to state it clearly. Losing cash is a huge chunk of our independence and our freedom taken away from us to digitalize. So we have happening at the same time. So parallel to the government introducing or dipping their toe into governments, I should say across across the West, dipping their toe into universal basic income at the same time that we have a cost of living crisis. And at the same time, when we face a loss of cash and the complete digitalization of our income and expenditure, all three of those together mean total control over what we're allowed to buy, allowed to buy. I said that even without, this is where we are, this is where allowed to buy. So that's something that the party is going to be taking very, very seriously as soon as the elections are over. And speaking of elections, if you are a member of this party or not, if you agree with our manifesto and you can offer any support at all, get in touch with us. We will tell you where there is a candidate of ours and you can help them. Remember or not, just check out where we have candidates and help them. And even if you are unpresuaded by some of what we say, what you want to hit back against the elites and the anti-British establishment, the anti-British establishment, help us get votes, help us. Because the more votes we get, the more people will start looking at us. Help us to get votes. And it's doable, it's doable with hard work on the ground. And speaking of hard work on the ground, I want to sincerely thank the candidates and their supporters and helpers who I know are working really, really hard. I see when there are action days, I know that people are out, out, leafletting, out knocking on doors, out, out, out. Thank you, keep going, keep going. I know it's hard work, I know it isn't easy, but keep going because the rewards at the end of this, just think, think of doing well, think how wonderful that would be. And I've been asked in the same vein, I've been asked again by Frankie down in Exeter if people can go on this Thursdays having a campaign day. If people can go and give him a hand, please do. But I know we have candidates in the north, but we have candidates around the country, please, please do. Give Sharon a shout on enquiriesatforbritain.uk. She will put you in contact with regional organisers and you can give people a hand. Please, please do. Okay, thanks very much everyone. We'll be back next Monday. And in the meantime, campaign, campaign, campaign, campaign. Keep going, keep going. The rewards for this, if you do well, the rewards will be great. It will inspire more and more people. Thank you very much everyone for watching.  And I shall see you back here next week. If you're in, in or around my area, I may see you at your doorstep in the next week. Thanks everyone and good luck in the next week's campaign. And I'll see you back here next Monday at eight o'clock. Thanks everyone. Take care of yourselves. See you soon.


Hi, today we're going to talk about accelerating hybrid cloud and multi-cloud deployments with PipeCD, a unified CD solution. I'm Kenta. I work for cyberagent.inc. I'm a maintainer of PipeCD. I love the option developer productivity. You can find me on GitHub or social media. The deploying applications to hybrid and multi-clouds has some challenges. Do we need different tools to deploy different kinds of applications? Do we need to learn the new tools? Do we how to keep consistency in delivery process in on-prem or public clouds? Ensuring security and observability across these varied platform adds another layer of complexity. Common questions we face include how to effectively store credentials and manage access control to various delivery tools alongside the strategic deployment in multiple clouds and environments. The third challenge is that how do we strategically deploy applications in multiple environments and multiple clouds? Here, PipeCD comes in. The vision of PipeCD is the one city for all. It is designed to overcome these challenges according to our experiences to deliver various kinds of applications to different clouds with many teams. PipeCD is a GitHub-style continuous delivery tool, which is particularly designed with a focus on handling multiple applications and providers. PipeCD scales in large organizations. PipeCD is an OSS project and joint CNSF sandbox in 2022. PipeCD supports a range of applications. Currently, we support Kubernetes, AWS ACS, Lambda, GCP Cloud Run, and Terraform. It also integrates with Kubernetes existence. If you use Customize, Helm, or Istio, you can migrate PipeCD without using any CRDs. PipeCD offers a unified and simple user interface across various applications. PipeCD has a unique architecture, which gives us a superpower to deploy a variety of teams and environments. There are two components, Control Plane and PipeD agent. Control Plane is a stateful component which store data in database and file store, while PipeD agent is a stateless. It's a single binary so that you can install easily to anywhere. Based on a company's experience, PipeCD is designed keeping platform and product teams in mind that ensure scalability and security. Platform team manages Control Plane, product team install a PipeD agent to their own clusters. Of course, there's no problem for one team to operate two components. Let's talk about how PipeCD manages credentials, deploying application in hybrid and mold clouds. To deploy applications to the cluster, you need to give credentials to a CD tool. With PipeCD, you give credentials to PipeD agent. PipeD agent use credentials to access Git and cluster API to deploy applications. The Control Plane can never see the credentials. It just provides console and scheduling each deployment. Only PipeD agent send a request to the Control Plane, so you don't have to set up firewall of application cluster for PipeD agent to accept inbound requests. Also, PipeCD supports multiple security features, such as building secret management, role-based access control, and a single sign-on. So let's move on to how PipeCD achieved progressive delivery. Here we say progressive delivery is the next step of continuous delivery. The automation to deploy new versions to a subset of user and they are evaluated in terms of correctness and performance before rolling them out to all of the users and rollback if not matching some key metrics. In a deployment, if nothing bad happens, it rolls out the new version to all cluster. If something unexpected happens, it rollbacks to the previous version immediately. Not only Kubernetes applications, you can do the same with other kinds of applications, such as Cloud Run on this slide. In analysis stage, PipeCD collects metrics from what we call analysis provider. Various providers, including Prometheus and Datalog, are supported. PipeCD can execute deployments to over applications one by one, ensuring each deployment finishes successfully. This is a deployment chain feature. What does this feature give benefits to us? For example, we can automate deployments from Dev to Prod. We can deploy applications to Dev at a first, then automatically deploy it to Prod. Another example is that we can deploy the new version in a certain area, and then if everything goes well, roll out to different regions. This always minimizes the impact of end users. Additionally, PipeCD provides software delivery metrics. Currently, we have deployment frequency and challenge failure rate, so you can get our insight of developer pro activities in one place. Talking about feature directions, looking forward, we plan to support more application types as plugins so that community can build their own provider to satisfy their needs. We also aim to enable custom scripts in deployments, which enhances flexibility. Further integration with various open source software ecosystem is also on our roadmap. So if you are interested in PipeCD, go to pipec.dev and try it. Thank you for your listening. Bye-bye.
