Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters for Tuesday the 22nd of April 2025.

I'm joined by Josh and Luca. And today we're going to be talking about how every party in British politics turns into a weak, centrist, diverse, multi-culte, siv-knat party.

And how the police knew about the grooming gangs and were

complicit in the cover-up of the growing gangs and multiple whistleblowers have come out about this

and we are going to then talk about the death of the pope very cheery yeah yeah very

death gloom and destruction today by the the way, there's no future.

All the kids are getting raped and the Pope just died.

Hope you have a nice thing.

Yeah, I hope you have.

The two are not a correlation in any way.

Not this time.

Is it a good or bad omen that the Pope died on Easter Monday just before we get onto it?

I think, I mean, I'm not Catholic, but I think it could be seen as a kind of a vision of renewal. Are you a Christian? No, I'm a stuffy, dry, boring atheists. I know, it's terrible, but I, and I have to expect people, look, I'm an atheist, but I am also a Protestant. I am also an Englishman. Yeah, exactly. And therefore... I'd see it as the World Cup. I don't normally follow football, but when England's playing, when the Protestants are in conflict with the Catholics, I know which side I'm taking. Exactly, yeah, totally. Anyway, let's crack on. So, reform promised to get rid of diversity, equity, and inclusion in government, but they never said anything about their own party.

Here is Ben Habib, of course, axed in the back.

You know, party favourite, but no more, on BBC talking about how they're going to get rid of it.

And here is the official reform account with the slop siren and everything saying that they're going to get rid of it. And here is the official reform account with

the slop siren and everything saying that they're going to scrap diversity equity and

inclusion. However, the spirit of it lives on, not in, you know, law necessarily, but in

Nigel Farage. God, why promise us this sort of stuff if you're just going to be like, yeah,

okay, but we are actually going to continue it.

Not necessarily for the government, but they are embodying the principles of it in their own party.

Oh, thank God.
