Good afternoon, folks. Welcome to this slightly delayed podcast of the Loat Cetus from Monday the 2nd of March, 2026. I'm going to be honest, I got stood up, a bit brokenhearted, but thankfully my beautiful co-host Stelios has stepped in to help me out. I'm the Euromax In Factor here. That's why it's 20 past. That's not the reason, by the way. This is not the reason. It's not his fault. I swear to I can confirm also it's not

it's neither cow's fault

no I That's not the reason, by the way. This is not the reason. It's not his fault. I swear to God.

I can confirm also it's neither cow's fault. No, I turned up exactly on time, like the Anglo-Prottsant that I am. No, no, don't worry. It doesn't matter. We'll talk about it another time. So anyway, so today we're going to be talking about the scale of the state. You think you understand the scale of the state, but you don't.

And we're going to be talking about the scale of the state. Right. You think you understand the scale of the state, but you don't. And we're going to go through it in detail, all with numbers from the government, and just put it in context. Just how unbelievably rinsed we are getting. Again, you don't understand how bad it is. Then we're going to talk about how, well, they admit that they're colonizing us. Like they're very proud, everyone's very proud of colonizing Britain, which I realize it's something we've talked about before, but it just keeps happening. They just keep rubbing it in our faces. And then we're going to talk about why Restore Britain is basically an ultimatum at this point. It's basically, we will have our way or else it will be trouble. And I don't want

the trouble. I want to avoid the trouble, but this has to be the way things go. Anyway, directly after

the podcast, I think about 315, something like, because of a slight delay, maybe 3.30. For us's

Realpolitik show will be live. And, well, I mean, a few things have

happened. I wasn't, I was, I could have talked about like Iran stuff, but you know, I'm not the guy.

I don't follow it. I wasn't monitoring the situation. Ferris hasn't slept a weekend.

This wasn't exactly Chad Jack's weekend. No, it wasn't. I was trying my best to deny that

anything was happening. And also I was complaining a bit that everything happens during the weekend.

We get a weekend to relax and the entire bulk of the new cycle happens then. It's because Trump

knows that Ursula von der Leyen's on her work-life balance and she can't

log in until Monday morning.

So you can do whatever he wants before he gets a snotty email from her. Anyway, so that will be obviously a very important episode that I will be watching as well because I have no idea what's happened and it can't be good. But anyway, so let's begin. This is the British Empire at its peak, and I think this was 1922, 1923.

It's about 13.7 million square miles.

That's about a quarter of the Earth's land area.

It is 458 million people, roughly, about a quarter of the Earth's population. And it warred with just

about every continent, I mean, it occupies every continent, it warred with just about every

people under the sun, and had about 300,000 standing troops, which is surprisingly small,

obviously about 4 million in the Navy. And the question is, well, how much administration did this vast
