Show Notes

Is the British Government incompetent, or is it a criminal enterprise? I am joined by sitting MP Rupert Lowe as he asks the ultimate question: "Is the state in the hands of organized crime?" From the billions missing in procurement contracts to the "sticky fingers" of the political class, Rupert argues that the British state has become the active enemy of its own people, and that the UK is sleepwalking into an Enron-style bankruptcy. We also discuss the "institutional rot" destroying the nation, including the cover-up of the grooming gangs, the "Weimar" economics of money...

Enjoyed learning about the past, present of a place I knew little to nothing about. So, thanks to you both and hope that there's a prosperous future there, and the place retains some of its unique qualities and charm

I agree. Repair that used vehicle and eat cup ramens. It's the new smashed avocados and lambo. I heard it said that Marco Polo bringin noodles from Asia back to Italy is BS so noodles are universal. Ramen is Japanese. Thanks for the doomer levity again!

Great episode, I'd love it if my other half could be the absolute beginer to bitcoin guest. She thinks its a scam. Convincing her to come on the show would be a herculean effort on my part though. In the mean time here's some sats to split with @npub1kyk7ac33a… just to show the power of V4V, lightning and nostr intergratuon, even though thats not set up yet for this episode 😀 Good show jack; well done to you both 👏

Learning about bitcoin backed lending was great but Mauricio’s story was the real take away. Great conversation keep it up.

I think the next american civil war will be decleared after its over. Buy that i mean it wouldnt be recognized as such whilst its happening. It will probably look more like the spanish civil war and Northern Ireland blended together. Sporadic civil strife and the occasional street battle to secure an urban area. When you get a suicide bomber at a political gathering, you know its started.

    Rupert speaks as much common sense as anyone I've ever heard speak from within and outside of politics. He's the embodiment of a man who is not compromised by anything. He is the sum of his own intellect and heart, equally. I am a hundred percent convinced that he is the only person who could represent the shared values and dignity we once had. Contrary to the idea that either Advance UK or Restore Britain's roots are hateful, all I hear from Rupert is genuine compassion and complete honesty. If you want to sugarcoat the solutions of how we are to exit this mess, call his views however you like. His unabridged truth cuts through all of it.

    Another good episode from @npub14mcddvsjs… but it ended on a sour note... I agree Reform is not the answer. But we don't need another political party, we need more people promoting adavance. Rupert needs to join advance. If you want to really help Peter, join Ben's advance collage and work in the background if you need to. I'm tired of people with far more influnce than i, talking about what they would do if only... you had Ben Habib on less than a week ago and you said the same thing. Shit or get of the pot to quote my old mum.
