Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast, the Lotus Seed is for Friday the 25th of July, 2025. I'm joined by Nick, Lewis, and some guy who just happened to barge in off the street. How you didn't, Tommy? I'm good, mate. Yeah, good. Good to see you. And yeah, so the big show today, actually, really big. Yeah. I'm enjoying being the least controversial on the panel for once it's a great

day you are dragging us further to the right but yeah so today we're going to be talking about how

frankly britain is ready to explode everyone can feel the tension in the air and it's worth

worth exploring i think we're going to talk about the online dystopian bill

which honestly I just, I mean the Americans are slaughtering us over this online at the moment and they're right to, frankly. And then we're going to discuss how Corbyn's going to destroy the Labour Party which, I mean, I'm all right with that. I'm pretty cool with it. Yeah, so it's like watching a spider and a wasp having a fight, isn't it?

Yeah. Chicken's coming home to Roos.

Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah. Yeah, so it's like watching a spider and a wasp having a fight, isn't it?

Yeah. Chickens coming home to Ruth. Yeah, exactly, yeah, yeah.

Right, so let's begin.

So the protests have still been continuing in Epping.

Jack Hatters was down there yesterday, covering it all,

and it's all very local and polite and constrained.

It wasn't crazy, it's not far right, lunatics, goggle-eyed weirdos or anything.

It's just normal local people who are concerned about their own children

and why there are a bunch of foreign, unvetted migrant men there,

as in fact one local woman explains.

I think we'd just have her explaining to us.

The hotel needs shutting.

And we're out here to save our children to protect them.

There's unbetted men in the hotel and they shouldn't be in these clothing.

And what have you heard from being down here?

What do you mean? What have you heard about anything that's happened with the migrants being around here
