WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:05.560 Before we begin, I just want to say a genuine thank you to all of you who support this work. 00:06.040 --> 00:09.720 Whether you're a longtime subscriber or have just joined recently, 00:10.140 --> 00:16.020 you are the reason that these conversations can exist independently without corporate sponsors 00:16.020 --> 00:22.520 or any outside pressure. This space is for deeper exploration, honest conversations 00:22.970 --> 00:27.080 and asking questions that, to be honest, are often avoided elsewhere. 00:27.080 --> 00:32.320 And if you're feeling overwhelmed, trying to apply what we've discussed to your own life, 00:32.620 --> 00:39.100 or you're dealing with a recent diagnosis or a chronic illness, remember that my consultations 00:39.100 --> 00:45.260 are where we can explore your situation one to one and bring personalized clarity. 00:45.840 --> 01:08.640 Right folks, let's begin. So yeah, Madeleine, you're wearing glasses just in case people for 01:08.640 --> 01:11.960 an eye condition, something happened, but we're not going to go into it. But that's in case 01:11.960 --> 01:14.240 people were wondering why is she wearing glasses? That's the reason why. 01:14.760 --> 01:15.400 I have a disguise. 01:16.260 --> 01:16.960 Yeah, you're in disguise. 01:17.240 --> 01:18.820 You have to be very careful those days. 01:19.140 --> 01:25.940 So I know, I know. Listen, thank you for joining me. I just want to recap from our last chat. 01:26.240 --> 01:29.120 Okay, because a lot of people were like, oh, I'm in, I'm so glad you recapped. 01:29.200 --> 01:33.520 I wasn't sure what was going on. But I think a big problem is that a lot of people, 01:34.200 --> 01:40.840 including myself, don't didn't really understand the local councils, how they were 01:40.840 --> 01:45.400 structured, how they operate, how they work. You kind of have, because you don't get taught 01:45.400 --> 01:49.200 this in school, you have this rough idea that, you know what, there's some politicians in Westminster, 01:49.800 --> 01:55.420 and then there's some politicians locally. And the central ones dictate, you know, 01:55.480 --> 02:01.400 defense and taxation and foreign affairs. And the local ones, you know, to take care 02:01.400 --> 02:04.860 of your schools, the garbage and everything. And that's it. That's pretty much it. 02:05.160 --> 02:09.040 But now, since that last chat done a bit of reading and everything, and I've understood 02:09.040 --> 02:14.240 a lot more. And one of the things that I've realized is actually, you know, these local 02:14.240 --> 02:18.280 councillors, one, they don't get paid very much. It's like a part-time volunteer job, 02:18.300 --> 02:25.860 anywhere from 10 to 20 plus hours. And they get paid about, I don't know, 10,000 to 15,000 02:25.860 --> 02:31.280 pounds, depending on what they do. Then they also get expenses. And, and it also depends 02:31.280 --> 02:35.640 then if they've got other roles like leadership roles. So you've got councillors, but then 02:35.640 --> 02:39.740 you've got the council leaders, and you've got the cabinet members that work with them. 02:39.820 --> 02:44.340 And they can kind of do more work 30 to 50 hours. But they also get, you know, 02:44.680 --> 02:50.220 expenses paid. But the problem is, because it's a low allowance, what it means is it's 02:50.220 --> 02:54.860 only certain type of people who will really go for these councillor jobs, people who've retired, 02:55.480 --> 03:00.740 okay, people who are independently wealthy, political careerists and opportunists, 03:00.740 --> 03:05.460 and people who've got flexible jobs. But you know, working-class people or full-time workers, 03:06.000 --> 03:10.080 I mean, they're really going to struggle to become a councillor. So you're kind of, 03:10.620 --> 03:16.660 you're kind of excluding a large group of people who can do that. And then, 03:18.280 --> 03:21.900 you know, we have to look at what actually is done, what do they actually do? 03:22.320 --> 03:28.420 So the official structure is, you know, you've got the councillors, and you think that, 03:28.420 --> 03:32.920 you know, they're running the show, actually they're not. You've got this management structure, 03:33.220 --> 03:39.560 you've got this political civil servant management structure. And what's meant to happen is that 03:39.560 --> 03:45.220 the councillors are meant to set the overall policy direction, like how are we going to run 03:45.220 --> 03:50.740 the local area, the council, approve budgets, represent the residents, that's very important, 03:51.380 --> 03:58.040 and vote on major decisions, planning, strategy. So they're meant to decide what happens. 03:58.680 --> 04:03.540 And the officers who are the management class, the permanent staff, you know, 04:03.580 --> 04:07.440 the full-time permanent staff, they're not going anywhere, they don't get voted in or out. 04:07.860 --> 04:12.120 They include the chief executive, the monitoring officer who's the legal authority, 04:12.520 --> 04:17.040 the section 151 officer who's the finance director, the director of all the various 04:17.040 --> 04:21.640 services of which there are many, and all the other, you know, HR and whatever. 04:22.500 --> 04:29.840 Their role is to implement the policy, provide advice and reports, control operational delivery, 04:30.640 --> 04:34.820 and manage the staff and the contracts, and, you know, decide, you know, how the things 04:34.820 --> 04:39.900 are happening, you know, not what is happening. So in theory, councillors are meant to lead, 04:39.900 --> 04:47.940 officers are meant to execute. But in practice, in reality, what's happening is that the officers, 04:48.480 --> 04:57.180 the unelected body, are influenced by NGOs, corporations, and are given instructions 04:57.180 --> 05:02.500 by civil servants in central London and, you know, in central government. 05:03.320 --> 05:10.520 So, and they write the reports, and they basically now decide what the policies are. 05:10.960 --> 05:16.740 And they then present that to the councillors and, you know, and if they're providing the 05:16.740 --> 05:20.720 information to the councillors, the councillors are kind of like limited in what they can do 05:20.720 --> 05:26.800 because all the information is coming from their officers. And now suddenly, you know, 05:26.900 --> 05:30.680 they're told, you know, this is what needs to be legally done. This is not what's legally 05:30.680 --> 05:36.540 meant to be done. This is what can effectively done. This can't be. So before you know it, 05:36.620 --> 05:42.160 the councillors are actually just doing what the management structure the officers are telling them 05:42.760 --> 05:47.120 pretty much. And, you know, the councillors are changing every election cycle, 05:47.120 --> 05:52.020 but the management are staying there. These senior officers can stay there literally for 05:52.020 --> 06:01.020 decades. So really, they're the ones shaping policy and outcomes. And they're closely aligned 06:01.700 --> 06:08.420 relationship-wise with central government. So what I realise is, actually, this isn't 06:08.420 --> 06:15.160 very democratic. It's a very, it's a hidden power structure in plain sight that we just 06:15.160 --> 06:20.240 don't really know about, you know, these legal frameworks, these national policy constraints, 06:20.880 --> 06:26.860 officer advice, financial restrictions. What that does, it means management actually 06:26.860 --> 06:34.540 runs the council, not the elected councillors. That's kind of scary. It's very scary. 06:35.420 --> 06:45.920 Is that a good summary? Yes, probably 98% right. Okay. 98% because we have to go back to the 06:46.460 --> 06:52.220 councillor salaries. It depends what tier we're talking about, because when we're talking about 06:52.220 --> 06:59.500 the parish and town councillors, this is mostly the voluntary positions. And then we have, it depends 06:59.500 --> 07:05.780 what you're doing, because even in the very low tier, if you are a chair, then you actually have 07:05.780 --> 07:10.480 some income. But then you have a district and you have a county councillors, of course. And 07:10.480 --> 07:17.940 then you have many different committees. Every committee have some very good income. They have 07:17.940 --> 07:23.280 bonuses for a particular kind of project, for the kind of programme proposals, what they're 07:23.280 --> 07:29.460 pushing forward from developers. They have a massive, massive amount of extra bonuses as well. 07:30.680 --> 07:35.740 So they are not, and then you have a councillors in cabinets, which actually the directors 07:35.740 --> 07:41.400 and the executive councillors. And that's the people who are staying with the people who are not 07:41.400 --> 07:45.580 councillors for the period of time, what you mentioned, for they could stay there for decades. 07:46.720 --> 07:53.600 If those councillors wasn't there, the people who are working there as officers and others 07:53.600 --> 07:58.740 wouldn't be there, because they need to be appointed by somebody. So whenever term 07:58.740 --> 08:02.580 it's finished, when we have an election, if we have a new councillors, 08:03.240 --> 08:08.660 they could easily just change the officers and they can just change the positions there as well and say, 08:08.740 --> 08:13.500 no, thank you, we don't need you, because they are the one who are appointing them. 08:14.580 --> 08:18.320 So the directors what we're talking about, they are councillors and they are actually 08:18.320 --> 08:25.380 on the salaries over 100,000 and very close to 100,000 as well. So it's not all councillors. 08:25.520 --> 08:28.940 So I have to actually send you a little bit of updates about this, you will know. 08:29.420 --> 08:36.120 But it is official on every councillor site if you check, you will see who is earning what 08:36.120 --> 08:42.460 kind of salaries, depends on the position really. So they're all helping each other, 08:42.680 --> 08:46.900 if they're all in this cozy, cozy relationship, I'll scratch your back, you scratch mine. 08:47.960 --> 08:53.820 Absolutely, yeah. We'll look after each other. Okay, right. So now that we know 08:54.480 --> 08:59.840 the shit show that's a local council, why don't we talk about some of the stuff that you're passionate 08:59.840 --> 09:06.180 about. So you're talking about there's changes happening and the public doesn't know about it 09:06.180 --> 09:11.560 and the media is not talking about it. There's court cases going on, there's elections being 09:11.560 --> 09:18.240 cancelled or delayed. Can you just jump in and just explain like I'm a baby, what's going on? 09:18.940 --> 09:24.460 So first of all, I want to say that what we're talking about all the time is what the media 09:24.460 --> 09:29.120 talking about. And you probably realise, especially in the past few years, 09:30.300 --> 09:36.760 the change in the alternative media as well. We had a completely contrast in 2020, 2021, 09:37.060 --> 09:41.140 when the mainstream media was talking about one thing and the alternative was talking 09:41.140 --> 09:48.440 about another thing. At this point now, the news on the both sides, in majority, of course, 09:48.660 --> 09:53.060 not everyone, not like your programme, but in majority and social media, they're talking 09:53.060 --> 09:58.800 about the same thing. It's always the same, the same topic. So just stop one second. 09:59.160 --> 10:03.340 So what are those topics that they're always talking about? Just explain, because I don't 10:03.340 --> 10:08.760 watch mainstream media. Let's say, let's say, whatever Trump done, whatever it's happening 10:08.760 --> 10:16.200 somewhere and abroad, whatever reform is doing, they dictate the topic. And the topic is, 10:16.220 --> 10:21.060 it's talk about on the both side of the media, on the alternative and on the mainstream media, 10:21.260 --> 10:26.720 except the topics are actually being discussed from different perspective. 10:27.800 --> 10:35.600 So on both sides, it's just the opinions. And meanwhile, the real things what is happening, 10:35.600 --> 10:38.740 what is happening in the parliament, what is happening in your council, 10:39.280 --> 10:42.900 how the changes going to be, they are pushed. And you know how they are, 10:43.300 --> 10:47.280 you know, we know we can see what is happening, but we don't know when they've done it, 10:47.360 --> 10:51.220 how they've done it. When was the moment when you could stop them? Because we just never have 10:51.220 --> 10:55.860 the opportunity to learn about this, because we are preoccupied with something else. 10:56.320 --> 11:01.260 So what we're seeing on the media is like a pimpog of exchanging opinion about something 11:01.260 --> 11:05.340 what is the rebuttary just from the market to distract people. 11:05.920 --> 11:11.480 Bingo. So there's someone called David Hughes who's talked about the camps. Have you heard of it? 11:12.440 --> 11:20.000 Camp one, camp two, camp three. Yeah. Camp one is just mainstream media. They're just pumping 11:20.000 --> 11:26.720 out the government official corporate globalist narrative. Camp two is where you've got these 11:26.720 --> 11:33.760 so-called alternative media podcasters, social media. And, you know, they pretend that they're 11:33.760 --> 11:39.600 against camp one and against authority, but actually they're pretty much controlled by the 11:39.600 --> 11:45.240 same forties. And they're just giving it a slightly different flavour of what the authorities want 11:45.240 --> 11:50.320 you to. And they give you this impression that there is a challenge taking place that 11:50.320 --> 11:54.760 there's two different sides and there's opposition, but they're not, they're just, 11:54.760 --> 12:02.940 they're not. And camp three is where you have really uncaptured, authentic, honest, 12:04.080 --> 12:13.080 you know, people, voices who are talking about things that are not the official narrative, 12:13.080 --> 12:19.540 that are not part of the system of playing games of divide and rule and distraction and deception. 12:20.260 --> 12:24.120 It's literally, you know, telling, you know, what's going on 12:24.820 --> 12:32.120 and trying to give solutions to the problem. Now, camp three is a very small camp and it's scary 12:32.120 --> 12:37.840 and it's lonely. You get censored, you get cancelled, you get lawfare, you even get killed 12:37.840 --> 12:44.620 if you're that much of a threat. And, you know, camp one doesn't like you and neither does 12:44.620 --> 12:51.200 camp two. You know, camp two might do smear campaigns against you to try and discredit you and make you 12:51.200 --> 12:55.940 look really bad and stupid. So what you're talking about, I think is, you know, we're in camp three 12:55.940 --> 13:01.020 and it's, it's very quiet, very lonely and there's not many of us. Anyway, carry on. 13:01.180 --> 13:07.160 Yeah, the camp three, it's, it's definitely quiet because it's, it's, it's the camp one, 13:07.160 --> 13:15.480 camp two. They make this, they make this quiet because this is so powerful, mainstream media and 13:15.480 --> 13:22.560 then the camp two, they having this big battle. So that's preoccupied the nation because it's 13:22.560 --> 13:28.780 sensational. So they take excites like playing, like watching football. You just become like a 13:28.780 --> 13:34.200 proper honest person who really going to bring the truth. Like your podcast, like many other 13:34.200 --> 13:38.640 people who are actually talking with sense. They're trying to find the, what is really going on. 13:39.140 --> 13:44.600 You become, you become to be pushed on site because basically you are boring, you know, with 13:45.540 --> 13:52.080 this is the hard word, but you know what I mean in comparison to this massive headlines, you know, 13:52.160 --> 13:57.740 that Trump is doing this and, and they're going to invade the UK and we have the 13:57.740 --> 14:04.100 Martian going to land tomorrow. And what I saw, what I saw two weeks ago is just unbelievable. 14:04.440 --> 14:07.640 Somebody just sent me something which just blew my mind and I just thought, 14:07.960 --> 14:12.640 you even sending me this stuff without a thing for a second. I am not even going to talk about, 14:12.800 --> 14:18.340 but that that's what people actually following because they have this from the both side, 14:18.820 --> 14:24.000 the same story, different opinions. And when you bring this reality, the reality is boring. 14:24.000 --> 14:31.220 The truth is boring in comparison to this massive headlines. So yeah, it's very difficult. 14:31.720 --> 14:37.980 I would agree with that. I know this, this podcast is certainly not as exciting as an alien 14:37.980 --> 14:43.480 invasion. You know, let's talk about alien invasions and what it's going to look like. Yeah, 14:43.560 --> 14:49.400 that's, that's, that's exciting. But that's also just fiction, just fiction. We need to deal 14:49.400 --> 14:55.160 with facts. Okay, so let's go, let's get into facts. What's happening at the local council level? 14:55.460 --> 14:59.560 What, what, what's not being talked about? You talked about this law, um, legal case that 14:59.560 --> 15:05.400 reform is doing. What's what's going on? Talk to me. It's very important thing is happening 15:05.400 --> 15:10.420 at the moment because everyone who is opposing to the agenda, everyone is aware of the agenda 15:10.420 --> 15:14.980 in the camp one, camp two and camp three. Everyone is now aware of the agenda, but 15:14.980 --> 15:21.420 everyone sees the agenda different way. So now we have the moment of reset, proper reset of law 15:21.420 --> 15:26.280 and proper set of the system. That was happening for a long time. We mentioned this on the previous 15:26.280 --> 15:34.740 program, you know, since Blair started reform reform, he started reform and he was pushing 15:34.740 --> 15:41.800 the devolution, which was under the conservative government called like a levering up. So the 15:41.800 --> 15:47.280 labor brand is for an organization and they continue the same program. It is the same program 15:47.280 --> 15:53.560 for many, many, many years. And at this point, we came to the point when they going to reset 15:53.560 --> 15:58.480 our system, our local system and they're going to be the smart city Metro mayors. 15:59.980 --> 16:06.600 And because it is the opposition to that, some people are aware what is going on and was 16:06.600 --> 16:12.500 challenging the council about this for a while. They, of course, have several options how to 16:12.500 --> 16:18.560 achieve their goal. And that was that was the same Poland. I mentioned that before. So at this point, 16:19.200 --> 16:25.380 they asked the councils last year after they postponed the election and lawfully last year, 16:25.980 --> 16:32.040 they asked the council to submit a proposal for an organization. So the council submit 16:32.040 --> 16:40.260 the proposals for the organization. I think that was few months ago. And the decision about 16:40.260 --> 16:46.200 accepting the proposal is going to happen in March 20, I think 26. But at the moment, the 16:46.920 --> 16:53.240 government light papers for the secondary legislation because without secondary legislation, 16:53.320 --> 17:01.420 they can't accept the organizations request from the councils. So they like the documents 17:01.420 --> 17:08.640 now for the secondary legislation. And at this point, it's 40 days to challenge this. And people 17:08.640 --> 17:14.520 are not aware of that, you know, if anyone have any kind of evidence that what was done since that, 17:15.040 --> 17:21.880 even just since 2025, when they postponed the elections. And if anyone have evidence that 17:21.880 --> 17:26.860 that was that was wrong, unlawful that that, for example, that was no consultation with people 17:26.860 --> 17:31.600 because it wasn't. And we have this documented. And it's the same now. It's no consultation with 17:31.600 --> 17:38.340 people about reorganizing their system, local system. Nobody was asking us. Nobody explained 17:38.340 --> 17:45.240 this to us at all. But they're doing this. And if anyone have any evidence, they could actually 17:45.240 --> 17:52.880 write the letter to the parliament and to the scrutiny department and say, I haven't 17:52.880 --> 17:58.580 been consulted. I have no idea what it is. You can't change this. I can actually put the template 17:58.580 --> 18:05.040 later. But that's the brief summary of what is going on. That's involve massive amount of money. 18:05.540 --> 18:12.080 So one second. So the government, the central government is reforming and changing the way 18:12.080 --> 18:17.480 local councils will be run. And you're creating these metro mayors, smart cities. 18:17.860 --> 18:22.360 But none of this has been consulted with the public. None of us have been asked 18:22.360 --> 18:29.040 about this major change in the councils. What is the actual fundamental change? Like, 18:29.100 --> 18:33.580 what is the difference? I mean, I know you got the Metro Mayor. Will they just have a lot more 18:33.580 --> 18:39.180 executive power? What is exactly that changes? That would be about 10, 10 people deciding about 18:39.180 --> 18:46.340 everything about in massive area, because that will be only unitary councils. So for example, 18:47.080 --> 18:53.060 let's say Kent, instead of having some districts there, it is not going to be there anymore. And 18:53.060 --> 18:57.040 Kent is going to join another neighborhood area as well, what used to be, for example, 18:58.420 --> 19:04.180 Sussex. So that part of the Sussex Kent would be one big unitary. And for this one big unitary 19:04.180 --> 19:10.600 will be about five, 10 people making decision. Nobody else. And that that would be about 19:11.200 --> 19:17.820 about that many. And so and there won't be any, there won't be any voting in the chamber with 19:17.820 --> 19:21.320 lots of councillors. It's literally just five or 10 people making all the decisions. 19:21.840 --> 19:26.160 It will be voting, of course, that will be a voting that will be a lot of debating. 19:26.780 --> 19:30.740 And that will be the neighborhood. I don't remember how they calling now, because that was 19:30.740 --> 19:34.640 the community board originally under the conservative government when that was 19:34.640 --> 19:40.860 leveling up, but the labor changes for the reorganization and they changed the community 19:40.860 --> 19:45.860 boards for neighborhood something something. So the neighborhood something something 19:45.860 --> 19:52.780 and community boards. I think that was, I don't, again, I don't remember the number, 19:52.840 --> 20:00.000 but that's a massive amount of money, billions practically going to be just 20:00.000 --> 20:07.320 give to this neighborhood boards for projects. So if you ever read the the evolution 20:08.300 --> 20:11.780 white pages, because that's the the basic of everything that is happening, 20:12.860 --> 20:21.960 the community boards and the now the neighborhood, whatever, that will be apparently the residents, 20:21.960 --> 20:25.580 but they are not going to be just average people that will be selected, 20:26.160 --> 20:31.420 selected people representing community in this massive area. So that that will be 20:31.420 --> 20:35.780 like a little boards everywhere. And the conditions there actually to become 20:35.780 --> 20:39.980 the member of the boards is not like you can just come from nowhere. You have to be 20:39.980 --> 20:48.060 established businessmen or NGO or any kind of stakeholder. So it's about five different 20:48.060 --> 20:54.540 positions there which represent all community. So basically, the structure will be looking 20:54.540 --> 21:00.360 like they're going to dissolve the district councils. They're going to gradually dissolve 21:00.360 --> 21:09.560 the parish councils as well. And it's going to be just the massive mayoral office with lots of 21:09.560 --> 21:17.600 lots of people working there. How long is this country England had parish councils and district 21:17.600 --> 21:25.260 councils for? Oh, that's very long. That was touch or was she that that was her, her era. 21:25.920 --> 21:34.200 So what era? Thatcher? No, but do parish councils not go further back? 21:35.500 --> 21:39.560 Parish Council probably did, but I think the structure what we have now that was 21:40.320 --> 21:44.640 I think that was established established with her. I don't I don't really remember. 21:45.360 --> 21:49.820 We'll have to check this. I'm just wondering like, you know, how long has it been here, 21:49.920 --> 21:53.680 you know, because it seems to me. So parish governance, I've just looked it up, 21:53.960 --> 21:59.640 parish level, local administration has been going on for over a thousand years. 22:00.200 --> 22:04.940 Church based communities, local centers for administration, tax collection, welfare. 22:05.920 --> 22:11.440 And then in around the 1500s, the Tudor period, there was Elizabethan poor laws. 22:11.440 --> 22:17.760 So then again, you've got structured local administration, poor relief, local welfare, 22:17.960 --> 22:23.420 local taxation, poor rate. And then you've got Victorian era is all a bit chaotic. 22:23.920 --> 22:29.080 And then you've got the local government act in 1888. Now you've got elected county councils. 22:29.820 --> 22:34.680 So you're talking about about 150 years. Yeah, sorry, I completely misunderstood you 22:34.680 --> 22:41.180 because, you know, I think that was the time when she she changed the she made the changes in the 22:42.300 --> 22:49.680 taxes from the poll tax. And that was just a different kind of changes, not the full structure. 22:51.000 --> 22:56.200 Okay, okay. So fundamentally, the very structure of local governance is being 22:57.540 --> 23:04.740 radically overhauled, and it's centralizing power in very few hands. And and has this 23:04.740 --> 23:07.440 been voted for in the House of Parliament? Has it been passed? 23:08.860 --> 23:14.820 No, that's why they're going for the secondary legislation now. That's what we're trying to 23:14.820 --> 23:19.520 stop. Remind me what secondary legislation is. Sorry, remind me. 23:22.880 --> 23:31.320 To just so much one part of the organization, massive part of the organization is the mayoral 23:31.320 --> 23:37.680 elections and the elections. So to go to this level of the progress of their organization, 23:38.160 --> 23:44.620 they had to postpone the elections to create mayoral election. But to postpone election, 23:44.620 --> 23:50.520 they can't just postpone election like that. They need to have a reason. So 23:51.220 --> 23:57.820 they need to use secondary legislation to do it. Because by the normal 23:58.460 --> 24:04.840 regulation, they can't. Okay, I've got it. So in the UK, in England and UK, you've you've got 24:04.840 --> 24:10.340 primary legislation, which are things that are past acts of parliament. So the parliament 24:10.340 --> 24:17.700 votes and if they get the majority is an act, primary act of legislation. But oftentimes the 24:17.700 --> 24:24.820 details are missing. The details of how these rules are created is missing. And that's where 24:24.820 --> 24:30.320 the secondary legislation comes in. And it's also called delegated legislation or statutory 24:30.320 --> 24:36.960 instruments. And these laws are made by ministers or even other bodies using powers 24:36.960 --> 24:44.140 given to them by parliament through a primary act. Okay, that's a bit worrying because the primary 24:44.140 --> 24:50.140 legislation is passed in parliament, but they're not voting on the detail. And as we know, the 24:50.140 --> 24:56.960 devil is in the detail. So the secondary legislation gives technical rules, administrative 24:56.960 --> 25:04.460 details, specific dates, standards, implementation. Okay, so what is the primary 25:04.460 --> 25:07.580 legislation that they're using to pass the secondary legislation? 25:09.580 --> 25:21.000 To pass the secondary legislation, they need to, at this point, for their organization, 25:21.720 --> 25:27.900 this has to be requested from the councils. If the council requests the organisation, 25:27.900 --> 25:32.900 because you have a particular criteria to fulfill if you want to reorganize, 25:32.900 --> 25:40.120 something has to be going wrong with the local system to make the changes. So in the primary 25:42.120 --> 25:50.880 legislation, that will be like bankrupts, some emergency, whatever. But because this didn't 25:50.880 --> 25:57.600 happen, it's a secondary legislation used. And it has to be requested from the council. 25:57.600 --> 26:03.880 The organisation has to be requested from the council. This is really messed up at the moment. 26:04.300 --> 26:09.680 So that's why that was raised, because even if the secondary legislation they're trying to use, 26:09.820 --> 26:17.780 it still needs to go for a particular criteria. So yes, the minister could use the secondary 26:18.800 --> 26:23.500 legislation if the council requests the organisation. But the council at this 26:23.500 --> 26:28.080 point need to go through the particular criteria as well. The council need to consult this 26:28.840 --> 26:34.800 with the councillors. It couldn't be just decided by the cabinet. In this case, all the staff was 26:35.420 --> 26:40.920 back in the 2025 with the postponement was decided by the cabinet everywhere. 26:41.880 --> 26:48.220 So when I approached the minister, McMahon, and I said, do you have a consultation from the 26:49.620 --> 26:56.880 councils? And he actually admitted they didn't. They didn't have it. So when I approached the 26:56.880 --> 27:02.400 councils, they said they didn't have a time to consult other councillors or people. 27:03.520 --> 27:07.220 So this is again, at this point, we can see the gaps straight away. 27:08.280 --> 27:14.220 So the councils themselves are asking for reorganisation and structuring. 27:14.220 --> 27:20.880 And it seems to be lots of these councils up and down the country at the same time are asking this 27:20.880 --> 27:28.060 of central government. But the question is, why? Who is coordinating this? Who is coordinating 27:28.060 --> 27:34.200 all these councils to ask for, because someone needs to be the conductor of the orchestra. 27:34.840 --> 27:42.340 I mean, it just seems bizarre that all these councils independently are suddenly going, you 27:42.340 --> 27:49.000 want to change how we're structured. We want to change and centralise power and do who someone 27:49.000 --> 27:55.380 must propose this model of what it's going to look like. So who's proposed this model? And now 27:55.380 --> 28:02.280 who's telling all these councils, hey, guys, come on, recommend this. We need to move on to this. 28:02.420 --> 28:07.320 There must be somebody doing that. So the model, as I said in the beginning, the model was 28:07.320 --> 28:15.780 proposed by Tony Blair. That's the devolution. And since he've done it, he've done a terraform 28:15.780 --> 28:21.220 and gradually was giving power to the council from the parliament because he've done it a lot. 28:21.380 --> 28:25.240 He've done the biggest damage here actually. You know, the reserve power, the share power, 28:25.820 --> 28:30.500 that lots of power, what normally was in parliament, went to the councils. Council 28:30.500 --> 28:34.780 started to make lots of decisions what they normally didn't have before the power to do. 28:35.240 --> 28:41.140 So he started doing this and gradually over the time, we have more and more power going to the 28:41.140 --> 28:49.300 councils. In 2020 already, when we had the lockdown, I think the government, the reserve power was 28:49.300 --> 29:00.400 only in four areas. Security, international, international effort, and something else, 29:00.400 --> 29:06.320 but not really massively, something what we actually did every day on the everyday basis. 29:06.560 --> 29:14.220 So everything else went to the council. That was the only four reserve power which was in 29:14.220 --> 29:18.420 government. Then they have lots of power which they share. And then that was some 29:18.420 --> 29:25.300 which was completely just give away to the council. So that's how this started and how 29:25.300 --> 29:28.980 this was gradually, gradually, gradually more going to the council. The council was gaining 29:28.980 --> 29:36.860 more power. One of the very important moments was, of course, the COVID time and, you know, 29:36.900 --> 29:43.080 and the Corona Act when they just give council special power, special extra power. So they 29:43.080 --> 29:49.300 basically just speed up the reorganization, the devolution. And then council was in the 29:49.300 --> 29:52.920 position to decide if they're going to do lockdown or not, if they're going to push 29:52.920 --> 29:55.940 the vaccination or not. That wasn't a government. The government was just saying, 29:55.940 --> 30:00.400 yes, you are free to do it because you've got this Corona Act, which is allowing you to do. 30:00.580 --> 30:04.540 And if you do it, we give you the money because we have to give you money. We have the 30:05.080 --> 30:09.800 agreements, international agreements that we do. So that's how this work with every single 30:12.580 --> 30:16.240 other thing, developments, whatever, immigration, whatever. 30:16.620 --> 30:21.760 Why have you only got 40 days to do anything about this? I just want to pause for a moment 30:21.760 --> 30:27.680 to acknowledge you, the paid subscribers who make this possible. Independent conversations 30:27.680 --> 30:33.880 like this exist only because people like you choose to support honest dialogue. Many of you 30:33.880 --> 30:39.360 reach out to me about your health concerns. And I know how difficult it is to navigate the sick 30:39.360 --> 30:45.420 care system. I've been there myself several times. And that's exactly where my consultations come 30:45.420 --> 30:52.980 in. Having been a patient, but also a surgeon and a doctor for 25 years, we can create a space 30:52.980 --> 30:57.740 through my consultations where we can slow things down for you, look at your individual 30:57.740 --> 31:03.940 health needs and bring clarity without any pressure, and most importantly help empower you 31:03.940 --> 31:09.020 and get you back in the driving seat. Thanks again for being part of this journey. Now, 31:09.020 --> 31:14.420 let's continue. That's the law. It's only 40 days to challenge the 31:17.540 --> 31:28.120 second legislation. But we're challenging this from another kind of way, if I can say. 31:28.920 --> 31:34.060 As I said, election's postponement of the election is a part of the real organization, 31:34.060 --> 31:40.600 is like a key to the real organization. So what we've done as a residents, we actually, 31:40.680 --> 31:46.080 I'm working with residents across the country. It's not like a political party. It's a pure 31:46.080 --> 31:53.520 residential activity really. And nobody really hear about this, but residents across the country 31:53.520 --> 31:59.040 challenging the councils about that for a while. So we collect lots of evidence 31:59.040 --> 32:04.420 through the correspondence, which actually supports what I was just saying about the lack of evidence 32:04.420 --> 32:10.280 for using secondary legislation. And we're just putting this all together now and sending this 32:10.280 --> 32:18.100 to the parliament, to the scrutiny department. What we've done with the postponement of the 32:18.100 --> 32:26.940 election last year, for example, we provide some evidence to the House of Lords. The House of 32:26.940 --> 32:31.220 Lords postponement. So they use the evidence what we provided last year. They actually was reading 32:31.220 --> 32:38.440 this in the parliament. But they lost because, you know, because the Lords, unfortunately, 32:39.120 --> 32:45.880 they are not the same Lords what we used to have because the Starmer already changed half of the 32:45.880 --> 32:54.960 House of Lords seats under the gender equality umbrella. So he just stripped the titles 32:54.960 --> 33:05.300 from the real Lords and he put some civil servants and some executives from the Councils. 33:05.520 --> 33:11.640 They are actually in the House of Lords. So the real Lords who stood up last year against 33:11.640 --> 33:18.360 the postponement because he didn't have any mandate. Unfortunately, he lost because the 33:18.360 --> 33:26.220 majority was supporting their organisation, but people who was already changed in the House of Lords. 33:28.660 --> 33:31.660 So can I click the ashes out? When you write to the Council, 33:32.000 --> 33:34.220 how long does that normally take for them to get back to you? 33:35.160 --> 33:38.720 That depends what kind of letter you're sending because if you're sending 33:39.400 --> 33:43.540 freedom of information, like if you're trying to gain some evidence, 33:43.540 --> 33:51.000 they usually have 20 over 20 days, I think. But if you send sending some formal letter, 33:51.020 --> 33:59.160 you can you can actually request the reply in particular time, usually 14 days. 34:00.160 --> 34:05.200 So I didn't do that. But I wrote to them about two weeks ago and I still haven't heard back from 34:05.200 --> 34:08.840 them. You know, I did the such that two weeks. Okay. 34:09.440 --> 34:14.340 Okay. But I haven't heard back yet. So should I do a follow up email to them? 34:15.920 --> 34:19.100 Not yet. Let me know. Let me know in a week. 34:19.880 --> 34:28.060 Okay. Okay. All right. So if you can suggest a template letter that we can write to Parliament 34:28.060 --> 34:30.720 and where to that, I think that'd be really useful. 34:32.320 --> 34:39.880 Yeah, I will definitely do that. We launch the resident website. I'm going to put all the 34:39.880 --> 34:46.400 documents there. It's really just for residents. And I really, really want many people, many more 34:46.400 --> 34:54.660 people to join to join us because this is a proper roots movement. They are just ordinary people 34:54.660 --> 35:01.140 sending the letters and doing lots of research and people who belong to different parties, 35:01.380 --> 35:06.300 people who believe in different things, but they all have the same goal to actually stop this, 35:06.340 --> 35:12.200 to stop the agenda. So we're working together. We're working the very, very good coordinated way 35:12.920 --> 35:19.500 based on the facts only on the evidence what we what we gain over a few years now. 35:20.140 --> 35:29.540 And if we could expand this kind of effort, we definitely going to succeed because we already did 35:29.540 --> 35:36.680 even with people who are involved now, we managed to postpone the mayor election. That's 35:36.680 --> 35:43.100 a very interesting part because people who are following reform party, they heard this big 35:43.100 --> 35:49.700 headlines in January that they just was so angry that the elections are going to be postponed again 35:49.700 --> 35:55.320 and this is so undemocratic and they are for people, they fighting for people. So actually, 35:55.360 --> 35:59.900 that wasn't like that because, you know, we start doing the as a residence across the country, 36:00.360 --> 36:04.640 we start doing the production protocol letters since October to the councils. 36:05.220 --> 36:11.200 And we basically was telling them, look, you have to stop, you have to stop the mayor election 36:11.200 --> 36:16.420 because they they are unlawful, you don't have a mandate, you don't have a mandate for the 36:16.420 --> 36:22.880 organization. That's the evidence. And if you don't, if you don't answer, if you country 36:23.500 --> 36:30.940 prove that we are wrong, then we're taking you to court. So what we managed, you all know that 36:30.940 --> 36:37.540 that that was very sudden that was out of the blue in January in December, sorry, when the 36:37.540 --> 36:43.520 government announced that they're going to hold the mayor election. Nobody expect that 36:45.220 --> 36:51.920 came from nowhere, but actually that came after our production protocol letters to every single 36:51.920 --> 36:59.900 council. And because of that reform party was furious because they was prepared for the 36:59.900 --> 37:04.620 mayor election, they won the mayor election, they won the metro mayors, they had the 37:04.620 --> 37:09.360 candidates for a metro mayors. So they they've been on every single headline, 37:10.380 --> 37:15.600 very loud about this, that they're going to take the the government, they're going to take the 37:15.600 --> 37:22.300 ministers to court because this is so undemocratic. So at this point, we we we've just been 37:22.300 --> 37:26.600 thinking hold on what the hell are you doing, you know, because we just we just held the 37:26.600 --> 37:32.880 mayor election and you just want to you just want them to to to you know, to go on. 37:32.880 --> 37:40.400 So you've just halted, stopped the mayoral elections and reform desperately want them to 37:40.400 --> 37:46.380 go ahead. Why would that be the case? Don't they understand that it's fundamentally anti-democratic, 37:46.700 --> 37:51.120 that it's centralising power and it's destroying local government as we know it? 37:52.140 --> 37:56.480 Yeah, that's a good question, because you know, they on the one hand they're saying they don't 37:56.960 --> 38:02.620 they are against the centralised power, but there we go. That was their fight. 38:04.600 --> 38:12.140 Then 12 days later, after we have the headlines with reform fighting for democracy by restoring 38:12.140 --> 38:18.800 mayoral election, which doesn't make any sense. So 12 days later, we had the ministers again 38:18.800 --> 38:25.020 saying that this time they propose, they propose to all council to cancel all ordinary 38:25.020 --> 38:30.760 election. So obviously we react because we don't want the ordinary election to be cancelled. 38:31.460 --> 38:38.220 We wrote to the to the to the cancels. And before the announcement, we wrote to the 38:38.220 --> 38:43.580 cancels as well. We informed them about the PAP. This is so complicated. But you know, 38:43.600 --> 38:50.180 the councillors in districts was aware of that as well. So as a result of that, the 38:50.180 --> 38:57.080 correspondence that we had with the cancels, over 50% of the cancels actually said to the 38:57.080 --> 39:00.240 to the government, no, thank you, we're not going to postpone the election. 39:00.700 --> 39:05.800 So that was another loss in their organisation. That was another win for a residence, 39:06.040 --> 39:10.340 because 50, over 50% of council is not good enough for a government to 39:10.340 --> 39:16.440 push the organisation the way how they wanted. We slow down the whole process. 39:16.900 --> 39:23.540 So soon when when the over 50% of the council said no reform part changed the 39:24.480 --> 39:29.940 change the narrative, they they start saying that they all the all election 39:31.000 --> 39:35.920 have to have to that wasn't about mayoral anymore. That was about all the election, 39:36.140 --> 39:39.900 how undemocratic it is to cancel election. Regardless, 39:40.520 --> 39:47.560 very 50% of the council already said no at this point. So that was only 29%. 39:48.140 --> 39:53.720 29 council was counselling the election. And that's mostly the one who was going 39:53.720 --> 39:58.560 for a mayoral election at this point. So that's very, very interesting. 39:59.920 --> 40:04.000 And then what they done, they they, of course, we had another headlines that they 40:04.000 --> 40:09.740 went to the court and they issue the ministers with the with the JR. 40:10.940 --> 40:14.780 And what the court done, they said, they said, of course, 40:15.460 --> 40:21.460 so you can go JR judicial review. Yeah, judicial review. But what the court said, 40:21.780 --> 40:27.200 they court said, yeah, it's all fine. But you have to do the production protocol letters 40:27.200 --> 40:32.100 to the councils. And then you can come back on 19. So hold on, if you are, 40:32.100 --> 40:36.560 you know, very experienced politician, you're sitting in politics for so many years, 40:36.860 --> 40:41.020 don't you know that you're supposed to do the production protocol letter to the 40:41.020 --> 40:44.200 council because they are the people who make indecision, not the ministers, 40:44.240 --> 40:49.120 because the council have to request the postponement. So if you're a political 40:49.660 --> 40:55.640 politician on this level, surely you are aware of that. Why are you saying ministers? 40:56.560 --> 41:02.280 But you see, that's now it's a danger, because if they're going on 19 to the court, 41:03.060 --> 41:09.780 and if the judge say that all election have to have to be held this year, 41:10.100 --> 41:15.700 that's mean they restore the mayoral election, which the resident just had. 41:19.320 --> 41:20.580 I'm getting a headache. 41:22.440 --> 41:24.480 That's why I have a hemorrhage in my eye, you know. 41:26.320 --> 41:31.300 I'm getting a headache. So now we don't want the elections to go ahead, because if they do, 41:31.840 --> 41:35.600 there'll be mayoral elections. But if the elections don't go ahead, 41:36.020 --> 41:40.300 they're circumventing local democracy. I'm just so confused. So what happens? 41:41.320 --> 41:46.780 At this point, the most logical thing, the best thing that could ever happen, 41:47.040 --> 41:54.480 is if their case is lost. Because we already have over 50% of the council saying, 41:54.480 --> 41:59.520 no, we're not postponing. So they are already holding their elections. They already do. 42:01.040 --> 42:02.580 So that would be the best outcome. 42:02.840 --> 42:06.520 Reform just wants mayoral elections. So for example, of all the councils, 42:06.740 --> 42:08.960 how many want to hold these mayoral elections? 42:09.980 --> 42:14.220 Oh, I don't remember now, because the mayoral election, that's the problem, 42:14.260 --> 42:20.180 because if they restore all area which shouldn't have elections this year at all, 42:20.180 --> 42:23.040 that wasn't planned for them to have an election, 42:23.340 --> 42:26.500 they would have an election for a mayoral election, because they're already 42:26.500 --> 42:30.400 in the progress of their organization. Another thing, what's happened, 42:30.780 --> 42:35.640 during this dispute, some of the councils, like Essex, for example, 42:37.140 --> 42:40.340 they decide, we're going to be, we're going to just announce, 42:40.600 --> 42:43.620 speed up the organization without a mandate. And they decide, 42:43.800 --> 42:47.340 we just reorganize now. So before the dispute, 42:47.980 --> 42:52.580 they was going for a normal, ordinary election. But during this time, 42:52.640 --> 42:57.060 they already asked the minister to grant their organization their councils. 42:58.600 --> 43:03.000 So now if the elections are restored, they're going for a mayoral election, 43:03.180 --> 43:07.460 not for an ordinary election anymore. Listen, I know I keep saying it, 43:07.560 --> 43:11.780 but Tony Blair was a long time ago. Tony Blair was in power a very long time ago. 43:11.780 --> 43:15.140 I just, it'd be interesting to know who is pushing this now. 43:15.820 --> 43:17.460 Where's this agenda coming from? 43:20.160 --> 43:23.440 He's still in power. He's Tony Blair Institute. 43:25.200 --> 43:29.040 He's one of the big advisors for not only for UK. 43:31.580 --> 43:34.620 Okay, so he's still active and he's still pushing behind the scenes. 43:34.980 --> 43:38.260 Right, okay. Okay, I've got it. I've got it. I've got it. I've got it. 43:38.260 --> 43:42.120 All right, okay. Bloody hell. Right, next. 43:44.540 --> 43:49.000 Should we all stand as counselors at the next election? Should we all try and, 43:49.680 --> 43:51.120 what should happen? What should we do? 43:52.360 --> 43:57.480 That's another thing, because people need to understand that it is so important. 43:57.880 --> 44:03.580 And please, honestly, everyone need to properly wake up. I know the wake up 44:03.580 --> 44:07.760 world is just boring now, but really everyone need to properly wake up. 44:08.300 --> 44:12.100 The only reason why we have the situation is because for many years, 44:12.280 --> 44:16.600 we just decide, we don't like what's going on, every politician is bad, blah, blah, blah. 44:16.620 --> 44:21.340 So I am not going to vote. That's strong because you're leaving them a gap, 44:21.700 --> 44:28.880 what they can just use as your voice. So we all should stand up as a candidate. 44:28.880 --> 44:34.340 We should stand up candidate. If not, we should go and vote for our friends or for, 44:34.460 --> 44:41.700 you know, for a party what you trust. Never vote and never even mention any of the 44:41.700 --> 44:46.480 parties which are in the parliament that establish, you know, uniparty. 44:47.020 --> 44:54.300 And forget the one thing from Poland, from many other countries which actually 44:54.300 --> 44:59.060 you've been the system before, there is no tactical voting. Tactical voting means 44:59.660 --> 45:05.580 control voting. Tactics mean controlling things. Everyone should go there and vote with 45:05.580 --> 45:09.980 your heart. If you can't see on the paper that candidate which actually, 45:10.700 --> 45:15.600 you know, if somebody was suiting you, you should think about this and stand up 45:15.600 --> 45:20.160 yourself and ask your friends, ask your neighbor to stand as a candidate or find 45:20.620 --> 45:25.300 part, like the heritage party, for example, that's a safe area. We need people to stand 45:25.300 --> 45:30.100 for us as well. We are the working one. How hard is it to stand as a counsellor? 45:30.280 --> 45:33.180 Like how many people do you need to vote for you? What's the process? 45:34.320 --> 45:37.980 Like how many people need to support your application? What do you need to do? 45:40.340 --> 45:47.160 It's not that hard anymore. It's going to be hard. At the moment is, I think you need 45:47.160 --> 45:54.880 to signature to support you. Do you need to put any money up? Like, you know, like the 45:54.880 --> 45:59.260 general election? No, no. So no money? General election, yeah, general election, 45:59.360 --> 46:03.640 yeah, but not local election. And how many people roughly do you feel? 46:06.100 --> 46:11.580 Like, how many people, like, you know, do you need normally, how many people vote? Like, 46:11.640 --> 46:16.080 do you need thousands of people to vote or do you think you could get in with just a couple 46:16.080 --> 46:21.940 hundred votes? The Lib Dems in my area, they're always winning with the same number. 46:22.300 --> 46:30.400 With the same number. It's in the average election, local election, it's about 780 or 46:30.400 --> 46:35.540 something because it's a very small percentage of people voting. That's what I'm saying. 46:36.400 --> 46:43.500 If there's an awake community and they're very motivated and very driven, even though 46:43.500 --> 46:51.720 they're a small number, they could get a candidate in because if 90% of them pitch up to vote, 46:51.860 --> 46:58.280 but the general population only 10% vote or 20%, then that's how you get your person in. 46:58.840 --> 47:04.780 Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. And also, you know, everyone really should go and vote. Everyone 47:04.780 --> 47:08.840 should stand because, as I said, they have the gaps. They really have the gaps. They can 47:08.840 --> 47:14.660 fulfill the gaps. Nobody will going to ever check this. So it's impossible. 47:17.740 --> 47:24.080 Okay. We also should have some kind of, I personally don't agree with voting anonymously 47:24.080 --> 47:30.000 because I think you should be, nobody is hiding what they believe. Nobody is hiding who they 47:30.000 --> 47:37.700 support. And that's the key to have not very democratic election when you're actually 47:37.700 --> 47:43.180 not saying who you are and who you vote for. But unfortunately, this is how it is. 47:45.380 --> 47:48.540 Okay. Is there anything else we need to cover? 47:50.660 --> 47:58.880 Yeah. It's a lot to cover actually with what's going on at the moment. So 47:59.460 --> 48:03.380 I just want to say this is extremely, extremely important because 48:04.420 --> 48:13.060 another thing what's happened a few days ago, we issued a section 151 letters to the officers 48:13.060 --> 48:19.780 in the Councils. This is about finances and that was the back step date was not yesterday 48:19.780 --> 48:27.020 on 9th of February. So we try to actually influence that and we did because two days ago, 48:27.580 --> 48:34.220 again, that was on the internal news that the government, what has never happened normally, 48:34.500 --> 48:39.000 agreed that they was wrong about the numbers. They normally never agree about that. Never. 48:39.560 --> 48:44.760 So they, and they have to postpone the back step for a week and try to fix the, fix the 48:45.420 --> 48:51.480 holes, the financial holes. And we're talking about massive millions. So what they've done, 48:52.320 --> 48:58.780 which is again really very danger and it needs residents action at the moment, 48:59.060 --> 49:05.360 what they've done, they decide that the district have too much money and they move 49:06.720 --> 49:14.440 113 million, 113 million from districts to the County Councils now to fill the gaps 49:14.440 --> 49:18.340 what the Council, what the County Council spent and they just, you know, they, 49:18.340 --> 49:23.940 they wasn't really, they couldn't really prove what they've done with the money. So they fill 49:23.940 --> 49:29.200 the gaps by taking the money from the district's Council. So that's, that's again, it's a, 49:30.380 --> 49:36.540 it's a step to dissolve the district council because people will think they fail and 49:37.900 --> 49:43.200 and they're going to ban, if people don't think that they're going to bankrupt anyway, 49:43.240 --> 49:47.320 so that would be a reason to just get rid of them. Again, a reason for a reform party 49:47.320 --> 49:54.020 to actually push forward the metro mayors again as well. So that's another area which we need to 49:54.020 --> 49:59.740 support the system what we have at the moment, the district and parish, parish system. 50:01.560 --> 50:07.840 Got it. No, I'm sorry. I am so chaotic, but you know, I am really trying to work against time 50:07.840 --> 50:12.720 at the moment and it's just so many things happening in one day. And you have to control 50:12.720 --> 50:17.100 this, everything that I'm dealing with, with lots of people around the country as well. 50:21.880 --> 50:28.220 Madeleine, this is very frustrating. We can see the problems, you know, metro mayors, 50:28.620 --> 50:35.740 unelected officials, neutralization of power, only democracy, you know, politicians who've 50:35.740 --> 50:41.020 just been parachuted in because they're buddies with the politicians in Westminster. 50:41.440 --> 50:45.300 And like, you know, where is it? Was it Manchester or something where you have an MP 50:45.720 --> 50:50.000 who then becomes a mayor? What was his name? Burnham or something like that? I can't remember. 50:51.880 --> 50:55.340 And they're all, they're all globalists at the end of the day. They're all Fabian. 50:55.620 --> 50:59.840 Yeah. They're all Socialists. They're all Communists. They're all pushing the trans 50:59.840 --> 51:04.140 agenda, the climate agenda, the COVID vaccine agenda. 51:06.660 --> 51:07.940 That's a problem, isn't it? 51:08.500 --> 51:13.840 It is a problem, but the COVID vaccine agenda, this is, this is the thing to 51:13.840 --> 51:20.180 preoccupy our mind as well. When we have the metro mayors, when we have not even metro 51:20.180 --> 51:23.320 mayors, because that's probably will come gradually. Now we're going to have this 51:23.320 --> 51:29.560 leadership, whatever position and the mayor, but that's exactly the same. It's exactly 51:29.560 --> 51:35.380 the same. It's going to be, you know, going for the, for the smart cities. 51:35.960 --> 51:43.180 We have to remember that this is affecting every single part of our life. It's not about some 51:44.520 --> 51:50.580 centralized power as a word. That's actually really is a centralized power. So whatever we touch, 51:51.000 --> 51:56.200 if we're doing shopping, if we're doing the digital idea, you know, if we're doing 51:56.200 --> 52:04.400 developments, we will have absolutely no influence on what's going on. Absolutely 52:04.400 --> 52:09.340 not none. As I said, that would be about 10 people deciding for a massive area of 52:09.340 --> 52:12.720 of UK, wherever we live, 10 people will be deciding for us. 52:14.660 --> 52:23.220 So we need to act. And I, if anyone is capable of sending few letters, and if anyone 52:23.220 --> 52:27.760 want to do something about what's going on at the moment, I really, really 52:27.760 --> 52:35.640 appreciate if people email me and we can just expand this, this residential action. 52:36.000 --> 52:38.280 Remind people what your email address is. 52:40.520 --> 52:49.460 The best at the moment is to send to my party address is Jensak at heritageparty.org. 52:51.700 --> 53:00.320 So that's Jensak, G-E-N-S-E-C at heritageparty.org. Yes. 53:01.200 --> 53:05.920 But I, we do have a separated, separated email because, you know, this is not political 53:05.920 --> 53:10.540 party, political action. We are involved because heritage party, of course, I am in 53:10.540 --> 53:15.220 heritage party. Some people are from heritage party. Some people are from different party. 53:15.220 --> 53:21.080 It doesn't matter. We are all residents. But, you know, the party is the one who's working 53:21.080 --> 53:25.540 hard for a year. So we have the evidence to support anyone at the moment, whatever 53:25.540 --> 53:29.020 people want to do. We have the evidence because we've been collecting them. 53:29.340 --> 53:34.420 We've been doing formal challenge. But that's residents, residents let 53:34.420 --> 53:39.380 action, national action is at the moment. So how many members do you have in the 53:39.380 --> 53:45.480 heritage party? I can't say. But we have good members. 53:46.560 --> 53:52.580 I know. But is it in the thousands? We should have more, but we are very much like the camp 53:52.580 --> 53:59.780 free. Do you have any councillors? Yeah, we have 12, I think. 54:00.780 --> 54:06.820 That's good. And they are very good. They are very, very good. I have to 54:06.820 --> 54:11.200 send you some videos because, especially in Kent, it's just amazing. 54:12.100 --> 54:17.880 Sean is giving them a headache from the moment when he went into the council. 54:18.980 --> 54:25.000 Maybe introduce me to Sean. Yeah, definitely, definitely. Let me have a chat with him. 54:25.700 --> 54:29.520 And when you say we need to act, I know you said about the letters, but again, 54:30.200 --> 54:34.600 anything else, like in terms of act, when you say like act, we need to do something. 54:35.300 --> 54:38.120 People are listening to this thinking like, well, what do we need to do? One, 54:38.260 --> 54:42.000 they're going to email you. Two, they're going to send a letter. But what are they going to say 54:42.000 --> 54:48.900 in that letter? And who are they going to send it to? We need to explain everything to everybody. 54:49.720 --> 54:55.080 That's a proper strategy. So it's not like a one letter. This is a progress. You have 54:55.080 --> 55:00.840 to do step by step. This is a proper legal strategy. So we're doing everything legally 55:00.840 --> 55:07.180 and based on the official legal documents. So when you're sending one letter, 55:07.660 --> 55:12.100 then we have a following letter and everything what is happening on the site, I am controlling 55:12.100 --> 55:18.040 this every day with little, very small team. So everything what is happening every day is 55:18.040 --> 55:24.760 giving us something else to react straight away, to stop, to slow down the next steps 55:24.760 --> 55:31.040 what they're doing. So this is very active group. And I have at this point yesterday, 55:31.420 --> 55:37.840 we have to send another, another letter to the section 151 officers everywhere after them. 55:38.500 --> 55:42.140 So am I right? Okay, listen, I know that you're saying what you're doing. 55:42.820 --> 55:47.500 Do you think, am I reading this right? Like what you need is actually more volunteers. You need 55:47.500 --> 55:52.940 more people working with you in the team. So if I've got listeners who are like wanting to 55:52.940 --> 55:56.840 do something, if you're retired, if you've got time in your hand, if you want to help, 55:57.140 --> 56:01.320 they should get in touch with you and say, look, I want to volunteer my time and help you. Am I right? 56:04.560 --> 56:10.900 To some extent, yeah, because it's not helping me. It's like a help on the both side, 56:10.900 --> 56:17.360 because I am providing the legal grounds, the evidence and the guidance, what you can do 56:17.920 --> 56:23.440 to stop the agenda. And each person who is involved, they actually just running their own 56:23.440 --> 56:30.280 case with the groups of people there. So it is, I am controlling this, we are controlling this with 56:30.280 --> 56:35.080 another small group of people, because we need to check the regulation, we need to check the news, 56:35.220 --> 56:40.060 we need to check what is going on in the parliament. So I'm just giving the advice 56:40.060 --> 56:45.680 what to do next. Meanwhile, because all these people around the country sending me the feedback, 56:45.680 --> 56:51.260 sending me the replies what they're receiving, I have a bunch of evidence which I am putting together 56:51.260 --> 56:59.560 and creating formal letters to the ministers and to lawyers. So that's working like a proper, 56:59.800 --> 57:06.380 properly organized strategy at this point, like a massive, massive case. And what's happened 57:06.380 --> 57:12.880 with the reform, this is like the proper destruction of just people, regular, ordinary 57:12.880 --> 57:21.860 people doing. So you were talking about reform party? Yeah, with the mayor election, what they 57:21.860 --> 57:29.380 was trying to, they trying to restore. So I didn't understand that. So what is that about 57:29.380 --> 57:34.280 the reform party? You were saying the regular people? I'm just saying what the reform part 57:34.280 --> 57:39.820 have done with the mayor election, asking to restore the election and misleading people, 57:39.820 --> 57:45.460 because people don't really understand. This is like acting, contradicting what these people who 57:45.460 --> 57:52.160 was working very hard done, because they managed to hold their election. So yeah, okay, yeah, reform 57:52.160 --> 57:58.120 basically undermined the work that your local activists had achieved. And you know what is very 57:58.120 --> 58:04.360 interesting. Another interesting thing is when the action protocols were sent, they were sent 58:04.360 --> 58:11.380 to all councils. And councilors was aware of that of this, including the councilors from the 58:11.380 --> 58:19.400 reform party. So they was totally aware that the nation, just ordinary people standing up and 58:19.400 --> 58:23.000 trying to challenge that and trying to challenge the postponement, trying to challenge their 58:23.000 --> 58:28.120 organization. None of the councilors reply, and I'm talking about across the country, 58:28.480 --> 58:33.220 none of the reform councilors reply to any of the person with any kind of support. 58:33.820 --> 58:40.920 Instead, they actually have done their own case, which is completely contradicting what the 58:40.920 --> 58:47.800 resident has done. Wasn't there a reform counsellor who resigned and went public on social media and 58:47.800 --> 58:54.340 said, this is not what I signed up for, this is completely wrong? Yeah, okay, that's, I am not, 58:54.580 --> 59:02.800 are you talking about Norfolk? He's not reform. Sure is reform. He's not reform. He said he's 59:02.800 --> 59:10.040 going to step down and try to call for a by election. No, no, no, that's not the one. No, 59:10.100 --> 59:16.660 no, no. It was a reform. I remember seeing on X, a reform counsellor who then resigned. But anyway, 59:17.160 --> 59:21.420 it doesn't matter. They have a very decent members. They do have a very decent members, 59:21.680 --> 59:27.740 you know, and really good people. But that's the problem because people are being misled. 59:28.280 --> 59:35.140 And if you look on the facts, if you look on the timing, you can see clearly what's going on. 59:37.300 --> 59:43.140 Okay. All right. Okay. Right. Is there anything else we need to cover? 59:44.400 --> 59:48.200 Okay, I'm not sure you can ask me anything. I don't know, because I'm just focusing on the 59:48.200 --> 59:52.660 stuff that I am in at the moment, but I am happy to answer any question. 59:52.660 --> 01:00:00.460 All right. So I found the guy for David Taylor, Reform UK, Worcestershire County Council. 01:00:01.400 --> 01:00:06.020 He says reform are now raising taxes. And that is not what reform promised. 01:00:06.560 --> 01:00:11.460 If a party cannot stick to its core pitch, once it gets a bit power, supporters have every right 01:00:11.460 --> 01:00:15.860 to lose face. He went, he said, this is not what I signed up for. There's one. 01:00:16.080 --> 01:00:20.000 Oh, yeah, it's nice. And I'm sure there was another one as well. 01:00:22.120 --> 01:00:29.480 But yeah, I need to find it. Yeah, lots of flood. That's a large number of people actually left 01:00:29.480 --> 01:00:37.520 them. Sam was sacked, I swear. Yeah, I heard that as well. Some were sacked. Some were 01:00:38.180 --> 01:00:43.680 not doing their job, but claiming the money. There's so much corruption and there's so many 01:00:43.680 --> 01:00:50.180 people who, man, people are so flawed. And there's just some bad eggs out there. 01:00:50.680 --> 01:00:54.540 But that's a very danger, because they're still calling themselves opposition. And that's why 01:00:55.200 --> 01:01:01.240 I never criticise anyone. But at this point, you know, I have to, because this is the classic 01:01:01.240 --> 01:01:09.360 misleading kind of party what we used to have in Poland. And if you think who joined them 01:01:09.360 --> 01:01:18.360 recently, like Jenrik and Zahavi. So if you think about these people who joined the reform, 01:01:18.880 --> 01:01:26.920 they lost already. They disappointed the nation previously. They have scandals behind them. 01:01:27.380 --> 01:01:33.760 Jenrik was pushing developments. He actually had bribes from the developers. And that was a big 01:01:33.760 --> 01:01:42.840 scandal with Zahavi, with the tax scandal as well. Why people don't see this? Who actually is joining 01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:49.000 the reform party? That is no longer an opposition party. It's not. It's a uni party. This is the 01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:57.700 people who, you know, who faith us. Absolutely. So Zahavi was in a tax scandal? Yeah, he was in 01:01:57.700 --> 01:02:04.600 some tax. I don't really remember this completely, but that was some, yeah, that was some tax problems 01:02:04.600 --> 01:02:10.340 there. You can check on them. Okay, okay. Yeah, he's paid five million pounds. 01:02:12.380 --> 01:02:20.540 Yeah, to set his tax affairs. Okay, that's interesting. And so he received 27 million 01:02:20.540 --> 01:02:26.320 without initially paying tax. Is that right? Wow. And what is the other one guy, Jenrik? 01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:33.920 Jenrik. Yeah, Jenrik. What was his scandal? That is still unresolved completely because, 01:02:34.080 --> 01:02:38.420 you know, it just went under the carpet. But so many developments, the developments 01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:48.440 which we opposed to was accepted during the lockdown. And some of this actually came out. 01:02:48.960 --> 01:02:53.220 But I suppose personally, I suppose many more should be investigated. 01:02:53.920 --> 01:03:00.240 But he was caught on the fact that, you know, he collaborates with some developer 01:03:00.900 --> 01:03:07.220 in exchange for some donation. Yeah, a million pound, a billion pound development unlawfully 01:03:07.220 --> 01:03:11.700 signed off last year when he was the housing secretary has now been rejected by his old 01:03:11.700 --> 01:03:17.100 department. The former cabinet minister sparked a cash for favor scandal during the first COVID 01:03:17.100 --> 01:03:23.580 lockdown after admitting he unlawfully approved Tory donor Richard Desmond's 1500 home development 01:03:23.580 --> 01:03:35.500 on London's Isle of Dogs. Wow. He did so one day before the council passed a new rate 01:03:35.500 --> 01:03:41.280 for its community infrastructure levy, a move that would have increased the property owner's 01:03:41.280 --> 01:03:48.800 financial liability by between 30 and 50 million pounds. Fortnight later, the government gave 12,000 01:03:48.800 --> 01:03:53.640 pounds to the Conservative Party. Look how cheap the Conservative Party is. You know, 01:03:53.720 --> 01:04:00.440 they're saving this guy 30 to 50 million pounds. And in return, they're getting 12,000 pounds and 01:04:00.440 --> 01:04:05.420 they're like, they're willing to commit to do things that are illegal and unlawful. Wow. 01:04:05.980 --> 01:04:12.920 But again, that's what we know from the press. That was probably something to hide other stuff 01:04:12.920 --> 01:04:17.820 because we have developments locally, which was approved by the Secretary of State. 01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:24.240 And that was generic then. And the development was approved then, as I said, during the lockdown. 01:04:24.440 --> 01:04:28.720 So this is during the time when nobody was consulted. Nothing was specifically 01:04:29.420 --> 01:04:33.680 examined properly, like the environment habitat and everything else, everything else, 01:04:33.680 --> 01:04:39.240 because it was the lockdown. So how many of these developments was approved by him? 01:04:39.560 --> 01:04:48.400 And for what kind of favor? And that's what I don't understand. All these failed, nasty, 01:04:49.540 --> 01:04:58.760 former Conservative politicians are now joining reform. And the idiots, the plebs out there 01:04:58.760 --> 01:05:04.960 are cheering it on like it's a great win. And it's like, are you crazy? Are you that stupid? 01:05:05.280 --> 01:05:11.620 Like, what's wrong with you? Like, these are the same failed, horrible lockdown, jab pushing, 01:05:12.520 --> 01:05:19.480 anti-democratic, globalist, WF Davos politicians who are now just jumping ship to reform. 01:05:19.900 --> 01:05:24.820 And you think suddenly they're the good guys? What's wrong with you? What is wrong with people? 01:05:26.400 --> 01:05:33.260 Madeline, tell me. I don't know. But honestly, I am slightly more positive at the moment. I really 01:05:33.260 --> 01:05:41.280 do feel more positive because in the past few months, since November, the circle of people, 01:05:41.540 --> 01:05:47.260 the residents really expanded. And we have amazing, amazing people. I have people at the moment 01:05:47.260 --> 01:05:52.180 on holidays abroad, because they have some winter holidays. But they reported to me 01:05:52.180 --> 01:05:58.300 straight away, look, I am somewhere, somewhere, but I have my iPads. What do I need to send? 01:05:58.880 --> 01:06:05.680 Just tell me. So whenever I just said, look, it's a really urgent letter to send and this 01:06:05.680 --> 01:06:11.940 and this to your cancer, could you do it? No problem. So everyone is really trying to 01:06:12.740 --> 01:06:16.040 challenge their own cancer, because everyone is trying to avoid this 01:06:16.660 --> 01:06:22.940 massive taxes and massive overdevelopment. And we need to keep the system what we have. 01:06:23.140 --> 01:06:27.520 We don't want to live in smart cities. No, we don't. Right. Listen, I'm going to wrap it up now. 01:06:27.740 --> 01:06:33.340 I've got one request. This is not going to be a usual podcast episode. This is going to go out 01:06:33.340 --> 01:06:38.540 to everybody, the full episode. But in the substack notes and the show notes, I want to 01:06:38.540 --> 01:06:43.940 put an action plan. If you can just spend an hour or two writing down an email, what the 01:06:43.940 --> 01:06:49.960 action plan is like, call to action. What do my listeners and readers need to do? Whether it's 01:06:49.960 --> 01:06:55.220 contact you, email you, join the heritage party, sign up for, you know, a counselor, become a 01:06:55.220 --> 01:07:00.040 counselor, stand for election, whether it's writing letters, joining your volunteer team, 01:07:00.140 --> 01:07:03.700 whatever it is, you know, can you just put down bullet points, a call to action, 01:07:03.700 --> 01:07:08.320 so that I can get this out and send it to everybody? Is that okay? Absolutely. That 01:07:08.320 --> 01:07:11.960 would be fantastic. Yeah. And I heard that you're thinking about standing, do you? 01:07:11.960 --> 01:07:16.560 Yeah, I saw that. Why not? I will. That would be fantastic. That would be great. 01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:22.920 Look, you will be fantastic minister of health. Why not? Why somebody else should be there? 01:07:23.640 --> 01:07:28.920 Absolutely. I mean, I've kind of semi-joked, but I was kind of being serious. I said, 01:07:28.940 --> 01:07:36.480 like, if I was prime minister, by midday, I'd probably fix, like, 80% of the problems. 01:07:36.940 --> 01:07:41.920 Yeah. I start early. You know, I start work, like, half past five, six o'clock. So, you know, 01:07:41.980 --> 01:07:45.800 it would be five, six hours of work. But you know, I'm telling you right now, I could start a lot of 01:07:45.800 --> 01:07:50.540 shit or get things going in the right direction. You would have to get rid of the people in the 01:07:50.540 --> 01:07:56.720 parliament first and can't see us. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, one day, you never know. 01:07:57.020 --> 01:08:00.760 All right, Madeleine, listen, thank you so much. Thank you so much. God bless you. 01:08:01.000 --> 01:08:04.720 You're doing so much work. I think you need to rest. You know, this I thing is also, 01:08:05.280 --> 01:08:10.460 and I know it's all very stressful dealing with all the stuff, but, you know, just take a break, 01:08:10.640 --> 01:08:16.240 listen to your body, relax, and then come back. Yeah. Fine. But before you relax, 01:08:16.480 --> 01:08:20.580 do the call to action list. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. I will do it today. 01:08:22.440 --> 01:08:26.240 Before we finish, again, I just want to thank you all for supporting this work. 01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:32.980 Your support keeps these conversations independent, uncensored, and focusing on what truly matters. 01:08:32.980 --> 01:08:39.360 No gatekeeping, no limited hangout, no controlled opposition.
