Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast of Lotus Seeders for Thursday the 12th of February, 2026. I'm joined by Harry and Ferris, and we've got an absolutely banging podcast for you today. We are going to be talking about the owner or part of Manchester United saying, yeah, I think Britain is a colonised country at this point, actually, because he is of course correct about that we're then going to be

talking about keerstama basically turning labor into the nonce party and that becoming the viral

meme that has come out of the mandelson affair um and then we never could have seen it coming

what honestly i didn't see it coming you know i didn't think the epstein files were going to drop and then

blow up keerstama's party.

I'm glad they did.

All of the Americans were like, yes, the Epstein files are going to drop American politics.

It's going to be blown wide open.

American politics, nothing happens.

British politics explode in the corner.

No one was expected.

There's just Pam Bondi going on about the financial sector. I only saw a few points. She lost. She's like, you know, look at how well, you know, whatever the dollar is doing, whatever it was doing, the stock's doing. And it's just like, are you saying what this nonce ring is structurally load-bearing for your financial services? Listen, it's good for the economy. I mean, it's literally not the argument she's been there. Here's the bottom line, all right? That was literally her art. Anyway, and the third thing we're going to put about is the female Canadian mass shooter that struck the other day. I saw the headlines, but decided I didn't really want to look at it. And so far as it's going to make me look at it. So anyway, right, let's, let's begin. In fact, let me clear my throat before again, so I can feel it itchy. Right. So, I don't know who Sir Jim Radcliffe is because I don't follow football. But those people who do follow football think he's a very important person because he part owns Manchester United as well as a series

of chemical companies and is a self-made billionaire. Born in, was it Lester, I think it was in

Lincolnshire, got a degree in chemical engineering, founded companies, made himself insanely

wealthy, is worth something like 30 billion pounds. Great.

Lives in Monaco, because the UK is basically a vampire that is here to suck as much money

out of you as it can. At the moment, we're running at about 45% of government spending, of the

GDP is government spending. So if you've ever made any serious money,

you kind of want to get out of Britain, because it's just not worth your time being here.

Because the government will literally look at half of everything you've made and say,

I should be spending that, not you. And so he's gone to Monaco, which is unsurprising.

But he's obviously still a British patriot because he did this Sky News interview yesterday and man was everyone angry with it because he gave some opinions.
