Good afternoon and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Cetus episode 1,306. I'm your host Harry, joined today by Bo and Josh.

Hello.

Today we're going to be talking about the way that the migration figures that have recently been released are misleading the public.

I'm going to be going into everything that Pierce Morgan is willing to sacrifice for the sake of a curry,

and Bo will be telling us about Trump's Thanksgiving gift.

Before we get into any of that, though, I would like to say to everybody that we want to wish our condolences to the family and friends of Peter Whittle.

If you've not heard just a few hours ago, it was announced

that Peter Whittle, head of the New Culture Forum, has sadly and tragically passed away.

So our greatest condolences to everybody at the New Culture Forum, to his friends and family,

and I would personally like to wish him to rest in peace. I only met him a couple of times

when he was in the office for the podcast

and he was always unerringly polite and very well made up and very respectful.

So I'm very sad to see that he's gone.

It was a great and important voice, I think, one of the trailblazers for what we do.

And yeah, I only met him very briefly a couple of times when he was in here.

And yeah, extremely nice and polite IRL.

Yeah, he was a good man.

He's always had a lot of time for people from what I've been able to sort of understand.

And when I've met him, he's always been a very pleasant conversation.

And, you know, it's nice to have someone on Tufton Street that was on our side as well so is you know he was very much

trying to push the gauntlet in a similar way that we were yes so as far as we know from what

New Culture Forum have announced they will be carrying on his work and legacy. So good
