Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Zetas for Friday the 14th of March 2025. Yes, it's Friday. Best day of the week. You've made it. I'm joined by Harry. Hello there. Andrew Bridgen. Hi there. And we are going to be talking about the drawn lines in the Reform Civil War, how we are turning into a total Blairite state. So don't take the abolition

another week left, so get it while you can because when it's gone, it's gone forever.

We won't be reprinting it. This is a moment in time, so get it while it's available. So,

let's talk about some of the narratives that have been swirling around, because, of course, when you

have a large number of people, attacking a very small number of people, the small number of people

feel they have to come up with some quite decisive arguments. And these decisive arguments have been

poor, say the least. And one of those arguments is, well, reform would be nowhere if it wasn't
