Episodes

Starmer Vs Albo: A Tale of Two Labor Leaders 30.09.2025

Aussie Labor PM, Anthony Albanese, recently visited the UK and was greeted as a hero by UK Labour. The reason is, everything Albo gets right, the UK PM Keir Starmer gets hopelessly wrong. Their different approaches to protecting youth online being case in point.

Tommy Robinson & Nigel Farage: The UK's Gateway Drug to Fascism 19.09.2025

Hundreds of thousands march in the biggest UK far right protest in years, led by an increasingly mainstreamed once outsider, Tommy Robinson. The UK's media bend over backwards to give unlimited press to the biggest con artist in UK political history, Nigel Farage and his Reform UK movement. Keir Starmer's unending failures are letting them both in.

Charlie Kirk and the Reichstag Fire 16.09.2025

The murder of Charlie Kirk - by an apparent (at this stage) lefty - has become a lightning rod media and cultural event. I'm not going through who Charlie was or what he said or represented, instead I'm looking at how did political and media discussion get so toxic, the hypocrisy and gaslighting surrounding Kirk's death and what Trump is likely to do with it.

Chris Minns - Don't Weaken Gun Control 05.09.2025

I've said recently how NSW state premier, Chris Minns, reminds me a lot of the UK's Keir Starmer, as both seem more concerned with appealing to the right than their own voters, but weakening Australian guns laws at a time when there are more guns in the country than before the Port Arthur massacre is insanity. Especially when faced with sovereign citizens shooting up police.

March for Australia: The Aftermath 02.09.2025

Well that was al a bit of a damp squib. The turn out for Australia's very own Reform UK anti-immigrant march (brown immigrant I should add) didn't exactly set the country on fire, despite what that embarrasing fool Elon Musk thinks. If you look at my last video, I even called the fifteen-thousand in Sydney accurately, but that was massive compared to elsewhere and a fraction of the recent pro-Pale...

Are Hamas Playing 4d Chess With Israel? 22.08.2025

It would be the most dangerous game of 4d chess ever played, but given where we are now with the conflict between Israel and Palestine, was the Oct 7th massacre and its aftermath a deliberate plan? Granted nothing has been more quickly destructive for Palestinians, but the impact on the international standing of Palestinian rights and nationhood has never been stronger, or Israel's standing weaker...

March for Australia 19.08.2025

On the 31st of August is a march for all Australians, not the lefties though, or the feminists, or the woke, or the "brown ones", or the vaccinated or climate change activists or opponents to genocide. In fact it doesn't really seem to be for many Australians at all. Masking it's number one concern, race, with housing and cost of living concerns, it feels very much a reaction to the enormous succe...

Albo Cancel AUKUS 13.08.2025

Even for Scott Morrison - the worst human being to have ever led Australia - with a litany of terrible acts, the AUKUS defence pact is likely his most awful legacy. Wedding us as handmaidens to the USA for decades to come, at exactly the worst possible time, with only the UK for company, for $368 Billion and no one has any idea what that actually entails. With Trump likely to move the goal posts e...

Palestinian Recognition is Everything Wrong With Keir Starmer 08.08.2025

UK prime minister and Labour leader, Keir Starmer's recent pledge to recognise the Palestinian state, shows everything that's wrong with his terrible leadership. He's the kind of insufferable centrist-at-all-costs that both sides hate equally. His kicking the ball down the road approach means he gets none of the kudos and all of the blame, plus his confused loading of criteria that must be met, gi...

Chris Minns is the Keir Starmer of Australia 05.08.2025

NSW state leader and Labor party leader, Chris Minns, suffered another self inflicted blow over the weekend. He managed to make himself enemy number one, over the hugely successful Sydney Harbor Bridge march for Palestinian human rights. He's embodying that nadir of the UK's Labour party, Keir Starmer. Always trying to appease people on the right, who will never vote for him, against the wishes of...

The Death of Australian TV 02.08.2025

Over the next few years, it's likely the Australian commercial free-to-air television networks will fall, leaving us at the mercy of the global streaming giants. It's why public broadcasting - which Australia does brilliantly - has never been more essential.

Jeremy Corbyn & Zarah Sultana Vs Keir Starmer: Unfinished Business 25.07.2025

Two years ago on this page (see below), I begged true UK Labour leader in exile, Jeremy Corbyn, to start a new political party, as the Keir Starmer/Tony Blair soft Tory version of Labour was poisoned beyond hope. He's only gone and done it. https://youtu.be/uISEdbubQq8

Trump and the Great MAGA Schism 22.07.2025

Whilst the whole world is focusing on >he who must not be named< and >the list< there's actually far more going on with MAGA's all-time record displeasure with Donald. Including Trump breaking a number of OTHER cardinal MAGA sins.

Trump and the Biggest Attack on Freedom of Speech in American History 12.07.2025

Trump and MAGA rode into town proclaiming to be free speech absolutists. What they really meant was they wanted to be mean about blacks, gays and trans people with impunity. Of course right-wing totalitarians are never pro free speech, but the universal attack on free speech is unprecedented. 

Israel Vs Palestine: Netanyahu Corruption and Trump's Cowardice 09.07.2025

I think today we are actually up to real life concentration camps being proposed. A round up of the recent wholesome activity from Israel and why the Trump focusing on removing Netanyahu's corruption charges, could herald that America wont help with Iran and to give him a way out.

Do I Still Stand With J.K. Rowling? 27.06.2025

Part of my infrequent series, "How to make lots of friends". A few years ago, when the whole J.K. Vs Trans thing kicked off, I posted a couple of "Why I stand With J.K....." pieces, based on my perception of feminism, as well as an analogous piece, "Are Biological Women Being Erased?". Since then the whole thing has descended into a tit-for-tat sh$t show. How I feel about the situation now.

Israel's War With Iran: Ten Inconvenient Truths 22.06.2025

UNBELIEVABLE! I start this overview of Israel's illegal war with Iran (and the truths behind it) by saying, the people involved are so unstable, it will be out of date before I even get it online. They couldn't even wait 40 minutes. I was still on air and the president of peace, Donald Idiot Warmonger Trump bombed Iran. Welcome to World War 3/Iraq 2.0 plus. With new improved WMD's! Source, Netanya...

USA: The Disgrace of the Establishment Democrats 15.06.2025

Even with their country in a slow motion civil war, free-falling into fascism, the establishment dems care more about fighting the progressives in their own party than Donald Trump. They are so blindly obsessed with a status quo that doesn't even exist anymore, they will politely be crumb-maidens for the apocalypse.

Israel Vs Palestine: Why the War in Gaza Has Already Failed 11.06.2025

Despite era-defining levels of bloodshed and horror, and no end in sight, the war in Gaza is already a failure. By either its stated aims or the real aims, none of what Israel wants is realistically even possible or going to happen.

UK Labour: What to do With a Problem Like Keir Starmer 08.06.2025

The awfulness of UK leader Keir Starmer was known by actual Labour voters before he won the lowest turn out election since 1928, inheriting a pitiful victory his right wing supporters will always cheer. Somehow, in power he is even worse. This Tory-lite, conservative friendly, charisma free, spineless suit is even aiming for an electorate that doesn't exist anymore. Normally I'm against removing a...

Trump Vs Musk! Who Will Win? 06.06.2025

Lets face it, the whole world knew that when two narcissistic sociopaths with God complexes got together in a love in, it would end in six months. In fact I was posting on this channel six months ago that very fact. The only two questions are why did this happen and who will win? My thoughts on both.

The Diddy Trial, Cassie Ventura and Sexism 28.05.2025

Have you noticed whenever an attractive woman takes the stand in a trial, a huge section of society are immediately prepared to side against her. No matter what monster they are up against or what happened to her, they instinctively seek out every reason they can to make her the devil woman. See Brittany Higgins, Amanda Knox, Joanne Lees, Lindy Chamberlain...

The Liberal Party: Sussan Ley Vs Jacinta Price 23.05.2025

The Australian Liberal Party's famous problem with women, is now a problem with it's own women. Populist Sussan Ley, now rebranded as a moderate, is elected new leader with near half the party voting against her, she is a seat warmer under immediate threat from the Murdoch press, who have anointed another contender, the treacherous Trump lovin Jacinta Price.

Israel's Fake Eurovision Popularity 20.05.2025

The continued participation of Israel is the cancer killing Eurovision - but the wild manipulation of the phone vote, giving Israel fake popularity, nearly made Eurovision pay for its genocide-washing this time. Next time it will. Unless of course you believe several European nations voted for Israel ahead of their own contestant... in which case I've a mono-rail I can sell you.

The Toxicity of the Manosphere 16.05.2025

There's a real void in young men's lives, unfortunately filled by bad faith actors, as shown by the landmark TV event, Adolescence. The manosphere - an umbrella term for those bad faith actors, is not positive for men at all - all it does is teach young men to both hate women, but crucially, to hate themselves.
