Episode Transcript

(00:08):
Good afternoon, today is Monday the 1st of September 2025, just
after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News.
I'm your host Brian Gerrish, delighted to have Ben Rubin with
me in the studio and we're also joined by Diane Rasmussen.
Caddy live link from the North East of England.
Well, we'll say a busy weekend for many people and the issue of

(00:33):
the national flag, the flag of Saint George painted on
roundabouts was evident across the country.
I'll say straight away that I was in the Swindon, Chippenham
area and I certainly saw a lot of flags.
So there was a lot of people outand about.
Before we come to you, Ben, we also want to point out that

(00:55):
across the country at the momentwe are seeing an undertone of
the growth of the military industrial complex.
So are we becoming a more militarised state?
I believe we are. Much of that, of course, being
done by stealth. We're also going to be having a
look at education and the way that is being skewed and biassed

(01:17):
by sustainable development goals.
And of course, with education comes the subject of libraries,
which are increasingly being used to take control of the
minds of youngsters. But on top of that, we'll be
ending today's news with a look at our recent attendance at the
Hope Festival, where an amazing group of people were trying to

(01:39):
do something very different. And we thought this was so good
that we are bringing it into today's news just to have a look
at how people can get together not only to inform each other
and teach each other about what's going on, but to bring
some strength in order to stand up and counter this really
appalling orchestrated change inUK society.

(02:03):
Well, Ben, over to you. Flag Force I think is the
subject. Flag force, indeed.
Yes, and great to be here, everyone.
It's September, back to school, Christmas just round the corner
and all of that. And it's been quite amazing
actually, to see the whole flag thing unfold, or unfurl, should
I say, over the past few weeks. I'll just tee this up by saying

(02:25):
that my grandmother on the the maternal side, my mother's
mother was Norwegian. And if you go to Norway, there
are flags everywhere. Norwegian flags in every house,
every back garden. People wear them on their
clothes on the back of every boat on the river and I actually
see this as a very positive thing.
I've quite enjoyed seeing the flags going up around Plymouth

(02:46):
over the past few days. I don't think it necessarily has
to be this antagonistic and awful thing.
You mentioned the roundabouts where they've been going up in
in their droves on lampposts andon people's cars and and back
gardens. This still video here from
Lincoln sometime over the weekend.

(03:07):
And as I say, I don't think thishas to be a particularly
negative thing, but we are also seeing the flag become a
flashpoint in some ways for racial abuse.
And also the escalating tensionsthat we're seeing even violence
happening across the country coming from both sides, I should
say, because actually we've seenpeople putting flags up being
attacked, as well as people flying flags attacking other

(03:29):
groups. And I think that this is
completely unacceptable. And I guess the question that I
have is whether this recent waveof flag raising is an organic
outpouring of nationalistic fervour or if there is a hidden
hand operating in the backgroundtrying to turn something that's
potentially positive into something nefarious.

(03:52):
Let's have a little listen to Joseph Moulton, the founder of
Flag Force UK, talking to GB News a couple of weeks ago.
It. Was really kind of accidentally,
it's kind of blown up the way ithas.
A few weeks ago, a few friends of ours were kind of looking and
seeing what's kind of going on in Birmingham and elsewhere.
We thought, you know, displayingthe flags of our local areas.
We had the England flags and theYorkshire flags.

(04:14):
We just thought kind of spruced up the area a little bit.
We just did one St didn't think any more of it.
Until around kind of 10 days ago, we saw on the local
Facebook group that everybody loved it and people were asking
for more. So it kind of said, well, we've
got a big bit of a mandate here.And it was kind of really
bringing the community together in a way that we don't really
see in York. It's fairly fairly quiet.
In that sense, so we began putting more up.
We had a lot of people reach outto us to get involved.

(04:35):
Since then we've alongside that we've been doing litter picking
collections for the food bank. We're really trying to turn it
into a kind of grassroots community organisation that's
taken a bit more responsibility in the local area, you know,
picking up from the failures of the council and also the
national government. Are you concerned that the civic
pride that you're bringing back putting up these flags could be
opposed by local authorities? Well, if it is, it'll only.

(04:55):
Galvanised people. I feel like people always want a
cause and, you know, the establishment isn't appealing to
people. You know, you say get involved
with the council, but you know, and the council's there if
you've got feedback, but you never see them knocking on
doors, You don't see them in your local places, right?
Because they're not welcome. And also they're just not
completely out of touch with what's going on.
So I think all that will happen is just drive more people to the
cause and it's going to completely backfire on them.

(05:19):
He seems like a nice chap, doesn't he?
He does seem like like a nice chap question in our chat boxes.
Who does he work for? Well, that is a very good
question, absolutely. So he's talking here about a, a
grassroots movement that has a mandate now and it's fulfilling
an important civic purpose. They're also doing good things
like litter picking, helping outwith food banks, filling in the

(05:42):
gaps of council services. Essentially, that's what he's
saying is going on here, right? And let's be clear there.
There are issues with what localcouncils are doing.
Whether this guy is going to step into the breach or not, I
don't know. But that was Joseph Moulton.
You can see him there talking toGB News, probably the most
popular UK news broadcaster. So he's been elevated into quite

(06:06):
a significant position and he runs this organisation, Flag
Force, which has basically come out of nowhere in the past
month. So their Twitter profile, which
we'll put a link to, is now got 18,000 followers.
It's only been set up in the past four weeks.
And this is their website. You can see they're tracking
flags put up by local patriots across the country.

(06:27):
And there's an invitation to join the U KS Premier Community
Network tracking the flag raisings across the nation.
Discover, document and celebratethe flags that unite our
communities. This is essentially an
intelligence gathering operation, right?
They've got a map you can see here, which I'm guessing this is
a glitch because there's there'sa flag over in Latvia.

(06:50):
I'm not in a bunch in the North Sea as well, but anyway, they're
all over the UK from York where he's based to the Wirral down in
the left hand side there Shrewsbury all over the country.
And of course Joseph Moulton is just a normal fella down the pub
worried about his country putting up flags.

(07:12):
And what this shows is that people are unhappy.
But who is he? Where does he come from?
Because if we actually look at him, his background, well, first
of all, it's not a lot about himonline.
He's actually very difficult to find out significant historical
information about. If we go to his LinkedIn
profile, we can see that he is aprofessional creating and

(07:35):
providing tech solutions in emerging markets while also
working to shape policy and decision making.
Tech, defence, green economy andsupply chain.
This is all. Six in the box a lot.
Of a lot of enforced industrial revolution stuff there a lot of
globalist stuff to be honest with you.
And this also, let's have a little look at this picture

(07:56):
behind me. That's a big weapon, isn't it?
And I don't mean him in the foreground either.
And then he's currently working in these two organisations.
So this thing called Iberian Group, which is apparently a
specialist firm providing tech solutions in defence, green
economy, economy and supply chain.
Nothing on its website, very little about this organisation.

(08:16):
And then the, the main one whichI found the information about is
this Geo Capita at the top there, which is also the founder
and editor of. And essentially it says that he
consults for several Fortune 500companies and state actors in
the defence and supply chain sectors, while also personally
investing in the green economy and drone developments.

(08:39):
You know, so this is advanced warfare stuff, you know,
absolutely, as you've just been talking about, Brian, the
miniaturisation of the UK, this guy's sitting right in in the
mix of it. And it also says that he spent
time in over 60 countries, including complex environments
such as Ukraine and Libya. And these are the articles that

(08:59):
he's publishing on the website. So he's looking at the could we
see the first nuclear armed resource war talking about the
rise of the Chinese green dragonand flag force.
UK is actually currently promoting what amounts to the
Ulsterisation of the country. So this is something that I just

(09:19):
picked up from the the social media this morning.
Mural maxed, Ulsterised near future Britain aesthetics as
they're promoting what amounts to sectarianism.
Multi generational tribal conflicts overseen by a heavy
handed and fully militarised police state with extraordinary
powers of surveillance and detention.
I think that's what's been happening in Northern Ireland

(09:39):
for. A long time for a long.
Time and this seems to be the direction of travel that this
guy, this organisation has been put front and centre as being
involved in this wants us to be heading here.
And I think this is an extraordinarily dangerous
direction for us to be going in.I will note though on a positive
note that the the the multi ethnic brothers and sisters

(10:01):
around the UK have got wise to this.
And this is a post from a Birmingham Muslim Facebook group
which came up over the weekend which says strong reminder to
all brothers in this group, do not take down England flags, do
not fight with anyone putting upEngland flags.
If anything help them. If anything put them up on Alan
Rock Rd, Stratford Rd etcetera in Birmingham as this will show

(10:23):
unity among the working classes in the UK, white and brown.
This is important, this is what we need.
This is a great reaction, carry on.
It says this is an astroturfing campaign by Zionist think tanks.
Certainly a think tank. I don't know if he's a Zionist
but he's in the mix. That that seems clear to me.
Who are unhappy with Palestine flags being thrown in the UK.
They're pushing for England flags to be hung up and waiting

(10:45):
for the video which shows Asiansfighting whites over the England
flag. Do not fall for it.
They want to create a race war using flags as the symbology to
rally more racist. Remember they are itching for a
fight over flags to trigger the next riots.
Obviously leading into the big Zionist nationalist event
organised by Tommy Robinson in London coming up on the 13th of

(11:05):
September. You know, so read between the
lines on this one. Not necessarily a bad thing, but
don't let this get dragged in the wrong direction.
And I should just finish up by saying thank you to this X
account. Get a grip, Doc Russ Jackson,
who did a great piece of research that I've borrowed from
which you should go and have a look at yourself.
So yeah, more to come. Brilliant.

(11:27):
Thank. Thank you for that, Ben.
And of course, the key bit is that that everybody should be
proud of their national flag. Of course many of us are not
because of of what's being done in the name of of our country,
but the base level, everybody should be proud.
And of course we go to other countries like the US or Norway,
you've just mentioned people areproud to fly their national

(11:51):
flag. So something very, very devious
is happening here, and it clearly seems to be to capture
the mood around patriotism and then to use that as the catalyst
to create trouble on the streets.
And of course, if there's violence on the streets, then
the state and all it's brutal machinery is the only thing that

(12:11):
wins. But I was fascinated there, Ben,
that we're talking about that man seemingly pinned against
what appears to be a big chunk of the military industrial
complex. Well, what's the papers talking
about at the moment? I have to bring up the Daily
Telegraph because it's one of the big boys newspaper of

(12:32):
record. But here's the headline.
Queen fought of sex attacker. And apparently this is a story
that the whole nation should be paying attention to.
Of course, it's an allegation. It was something that happened
when she was young. What has she done since to
protect people against sex attackers or children being

(12:53):
abused in the care homes? I've no idea, but the Taylor
Telegraph put it as the main page.
But of course the key headline was this bit up here.
Doctor Destroyer, that sums up our sinking Navy and we'll get
into what they're talking about.But first of all, let's have a
look at at what Defence HQ, the government's propaganda machine

(13:15):
in UK, what it's talking about in relation to the world and the
wars. Let's have a listen to Alastair.
Here in Kiev on Ukrainian Independence Day, with a very
simple message, the UK stands with you in this fight and is
securing a just and lasting peace.
The Ukrainians have shown incredible strength in this
conflict, a strength I've seen meeting some of the veterans of

(13:35):
the war. Veterans just like our own, act
as an inspiration for not only the nation here, but serving
personnel in the UK. We're working closely with the
US, Ukraine and the coalition ofwilling partners to bring about
peace, but Ukraine must be central to any negotiations.
President Zelensky's leadership has been utterly amazing.
I. Commend his courage and
leadership as a country moves forward in stark contrast.

(13:59):
Russia has refused to agree to fool ceasefire and stepped up
its tax on Ukrainian people since the US LED peace efforts
have began. Indeed, just 6201 way attack
drones since July. The.
Lasting peace is only possible if we continue to show strength
and provide Ukraine with the support it needs to defend
itself against continued and unabated Russian aggression.

(14:19):
The. UK is completely behind Ukraine
and with our allies we will continue to support you until
you tell us to stop Slava, Ukraine.
So we as we have the issue with the flags around the country,
we've got Defence HQ pumping outpropaganda with this very
emotive music. But this MP is in naive

(14:45):
ignorance. I can't work it out.
He may maybe both. Perhaps we should have Zelensky
as Prime Minister to replace Stormer, because of Zelensky of
course is running a country withabsolutely no corruption.
People have happy safe lives or not, and I just find it
outrageous that MPs should thinkthat we also naive that we

(15:08):
should fall into the trap of what they're talking about.
Now let's have a look at the Chief of Defence Staff, Radican
beating up with Zelensky a few days ago.
Yeah. How are you?
Yeah, very well, thank you. Thank you for having us.
Welcome. It's my relief the.
New chief of Defence. We're thankful to you, your

(15:29):
country, and to your government and nation for such
strengthening us from the very beginning of this war.
And we're thankful to Kir, PrimeMinister, for such deep
involvement to do this process and with coalition of villains

(15:49):
and with the support. So thank you so much.
Thank you. The Prime Minister sends his
regards. I did a speech last week.
Where? I had to, I had to name check
every Prime Minister for their support to me over my time four
years as chief of defence. But this is also about
introducing Rich and to stress that our support to you and

(16:14):
Ukraine is not personality dependent, it's nation dependent
and Rich will continue that level of support in exactly the
same way that you would expect. Thank you so much.
Well, Ben, I've got to say to you, I found that clip
absolutely outrageous and offensive.

(16:37):
Those two grinning senior officers using a very casual
name of my friend Rich. When you look at Zelensky face
at one point he is smirking, he's laughing at these two
people and well he might becausewe've got Radikin who can't even
run the Royal Navy in UK and we'll come on to that in a
couple of minutes. And we've also got his relief

(16:59):
there, Chief Marshall Rich Knighton.
Not a pilot, not a navigator, nosubstance to the man in order to
be head of the Royal Air Force. And yet these are the people
dragging the UK into this awful war in Ukraine.
I'll talk about this more in extra time, but clearly

(17:20):
offensive stuff if we just pop him on screen.
I decided the best way to refer to Radikin was Zelensky's chief
of staff because he's clearly not working for the British
people. How can we prove this?
Well, let's have a look at some of the headlines.
Here's the UK Defence Journal and it's talking about snapshots

(17:41):
of the status of the British fleet.
If we bring in some meat on those bones, they say currently
just over 19% of the Royal Navy's major surface competence
are active or immediately deployable.
If ships in maintenance are included, that figure reaches
around 43%. But of course, if ships are in

(18:01):
maintenance, they are not immediately deployable.
So we're talking about major breakdown.
They go on to say this the Navy is no longer just hollowed out
but holding on, and is now actually incapable of performing
many of the routine tasks it managed until quite until quite

(18:21):
recently. And it says this breakdown is
not the result of losses in combat or even the pressure of
high tempo operations, but as a result there's worth missing
their long term failure. And of course the man
responsible for that failure is Radican himself because he's
been head of the very organisation.

(18:43):
But he is apparently capable of now running the war in Ukraine
when we've used this expression many times on UK column.
But sometimes you just can't make this up.
It is so bad and so bizarre. Let's rub this in because here's
the Telegraph. Occasionally they do get off a
bad front pages, but here's the headline.

(19:06):
It's time to be honest with ourselves.
The Royal Navy is broken. And if you get into the meat of
their article, it's going into detail about how the Royal Navy
is broken down, including the first of the six Type 45
destroyers being alongside for 3000 days, a ship that doesn't
work. And of course, many of that

(19:28):
class of ships, the Type 45 having had engine problems so
they can't get to see. But the Telegraph also pointing
out that the recent deployment of our aircraft carrier in
supposedly a task force which should be a very powerful group
of ships, there was no nuclear submarine with them.

(19:48):
This is unprecedented. And what we're looking at is the
MATE is a major breakdown. But if I pull in this one here,
this is taken from the Royal Navy's own website, where it's
almost impossible to see how many few ships we have because
it's full of jazzy hype and moving images.

(20:09):
But here's the Type 45 being labelled as one of the most
advanced warships ever built, presumably so advanced it could
never go to sea. Where is the military going at
the moment? Well, of course, the military is
after the minds of our children,so let's have a look at cadet
recruiting. Here's a fact, there are more

(20:31):
youngsters in the cadet forces than there are soldiers in the
British Army. So in Britain, when you meet
someone in uniform, chances are it'll be a cadet rather than a
soldier. And that's only set to increase,
with the government pledging a 30% rise in cadet participation,
setting itself a more ambitious target than for recruitment in

(20:52):
the armed forces. So Defence HQ criticising Putin
for going into the schools and recruiting in Russia, but here
we are boasting that we've now got more cadets than members of
the army itself, which is around78,000.
So what what is this? A mild version of Hitler Youth

(21:14):
which is coming in in order to provide the bodies for the
future wars? Dangerous stuff.
But let's look at a second videoclip from Defence HQ when
effectively they're pulling on the heartstrings of the public
in relation to Ukraine. We.
Just want to do everything that we can to help the people of
Ukraine. Hello.

(21:40):
Hi there and I'm Jane and between us, together with all
our efforts, we've raised £15,000 to help with support for
Ukraine. The money we raised has all gone
to Ukraine in the form of equipment, boots, warm clothing,

(22:04):
sleeping bags, first aid kits for Starlink subscriptions,
whatever is needed. I'm William Cook and I'm the
Director of Cook Defence Systemsbased here in County Durham.
We're proud to have delivered new tracks to allow over 500
Ukrainian armoured fighting vehicles to be returned to the
front line. On Operation Interplex we

(22:28):
trained more than 58,000 Ukrainians.
In. Basic combat skills.
It's been a privilege to be ableto help and I pray to God that
your country will be independentand free.
We really feel that our operation.

(22:48):
Is having an impact helping Ukraine to?
Repel Russia. It's it's showing that not only
governments support Ukraine, it's showing that civilian
people who feel in this, in their heart, that they need,

(23:10):
they want support. Ukraine, whether it's training
soldiers or people like Ann. And Jane raising money for
Ukraine, we really feel the UK support.
It's definitely something we're proud of, but it's not just us.
People up and down the country are all supporting Ukraine in
their own way. So I think just terrible that

(23:37):
those ladies, and I'm sure theirhearts are in the right place
and they're working very hard for what they believe is the
right 'cause. But of course they're going to
have no knowledge at all about the real causes of the war in
Ukraine and they're going to have no idea about the slaughter
on the battlefields in Ukraine. But the government is going to
use them in the most twisted wayin order to try and get its war

(24:01):
agenda through. I found that that one
particularly appalling. But let's just move on.
Sorry, come back on this. Let's just move on very briefly
to this one, which is Rhine Metal in Germany.
The arms manufacturer a couple of years ago got a very big
contract to produce more shells because of course the West was

(24:23):
running out of shells. So their production now online
and those shells are coming intoUkraine to help fuel the war.
But of course this is promoted as being something which is good
for Germany and good for Europe.Here they are heading for an
annual output of around 700,000 rounds.

(24:46):
But in the meantime we've got more going on because we've got
Britain now teaming up with Japan and I found this one very
cynical as well. One minute Healy is holding the
arms of veterans. Of course, many of them or the
few that are left went through horrors fighting the Japanese.

(25:06):
So he's now cuddling up to the vets.
But what's going on in the background is working with Japan
to get over that embarrassing hump of the death in World War 2
in order that we can team up to what is being described as one
of the closest defence partners we've got in the world.
So more trouble. And of course, this is Asia in

(25:29):
light of their supposed, supposed threats from China.
But we've got a new military deal with Norway, 10 billion.
This is a, this is an order fromthe Norwegians for frigates from
UK. Why they want to buy from us, I
have no idea. We've already shown the disaster

(25:50):
with the Type 45, but more of the industrial complex.
But when we talk about Israel, John Healey is very, very quiet.
He said he's spoken to the Israeli defence minister and
stressed the need for a diplomatic solution to end the
war. I told Israel to stop the war
and giving them the arms to do so is the way I see this, which

(26:12):
is utter hypocrisy. And I'm very pleased to say that
actually on the website itself for Defence HQ, people were
really pushing back about what'sbeing posted.
So here's somebody standing up for people in Gaza who are
having to folks cope with the drones and explosive robots.

(26:33):
And this one caught my eye because whilst the headline is
Israel has the right to cut off food, water and electricity, and
we see Keir Starmer bathed in blood, the actual text is
talking about Israeli Defence Forces sniping.
And I'll just bring people's attention to a discussion I had

(26:56):
with Patrick Henningson last week.
This will go out tomorrow at 1:00, but it's us talking about
an excellent, yes, I did say that word, an excellent
documentary by Stephanie Hegartyfrom BBC World Service, who was
examining why children are dyingin Gaza as the result of of

(27:19):
gunshot wounds, very young children clearly being killed by
IDF snipers. So we'll be going into that in
more detail, but Diane, let's bring you in.
Apologies there because I've I've overrun slightly there on
my segment, but clearly very important things to talk about a
massive change in UK society. This is a fascist partnership

(27:44):
which we're seeing between government and and big business.
And of course, capturing the minds of children and young
people through education in the libraries goes along with this
type of agenda. So Diane, welcome and what have
you got? Yes, thanks Brian.
It's, it's great to be here today and hello to everyone at

(28:06):
home watching and, and everywhere else.
As Ben said at the start of the news, it's back to school time.
It's the 1st of September, whichis really hard to believe.
But because Sandy Adams and I have been working together
recently on explaining, looking at how we can explain the
Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2030, which are
working together, of course to the public.

(28:27):
And so we want people to understand first of all, what
they say, if you read the documents at face value, and
also what they actually mean. So because it's back to school
time and because I am an educator and a librarian
originally by profession, I thought I would spend some time
today looking at Sustainable Development Goal 4, which is
quality education. So quality education according

(28:49):
to the UN, means ensuring inclusive and equitable quality
education and promoting lifelonglearning opportunities for all.
That's what they tell us it means.
And this is again for one of seventeen goals.
But at the same time, what we see is that if you read the
documentation that says that SDG4 is a very important goal to

(29:09):
make sure that all of the goals happen because we have to
educate people so that they knowthe right way to behave.
According to the UN. If we look at the 2025
Sustainable Development Goals reports, which I've just got a,
a quick screenshot from one of the infographics from this
report, it says that as we, as I've covered previously, that
the UN admits that they are behind on all the SDGS or in

(29:33):
some cases regressing. And this case, this one is, is
showing, well, of course we don't want children to be out of
school, but that's what they're using to show that that, you
know, they're not talking about what they're actually educating
children to do, which is to be good global citizens.
But of course you at face value,you would want children to be in
school, of course. But how are they doing this?
Well, I'm going to be covering this also in my second segment,

(29:55):
which will be later in the news.But here's one example of 1
curriculum provider that is providing materials to children
and and telling teachers what they can be doing.
So this is 1 organisation calledRaising Global Kittens, KIDIZENS
Kittens Global Citizens and here's a book list for example

(30:16):
of picture books that can help that can be used to explain
sustainable development goal forquality education to children.
And here's a video that they have provided on their website
which is meant to be shown to primary school students about
SDG 4. Knowledge is the key to open

(30:37):
many doors in life. When we have access to good
quality education, we can use itto become whatever we want.
An astronaut, a chef, a doctor, no matter who we are or where we
live. When we learn new skills and
ideas, our minds grow. And when that happens, we can
invent new things that benefit lots of different people.

(31:01):
Good education is possible when there are enough teachers, when
every student has books and computers and supplies, and when
schools are safe and clean. But not every student has the
same opportunities to learn. In some countries, girls can't
go to school because only boys are allowed to attend.

(31:22):
In others, they have responsibilities at home so they
can't go to school, and in some communities there isn't enough
money to pay for important things like teachers, books and
computers, so the number of students in each class is high.
Meaning not every child gets theeducation they deserve, but good

(31:43):
people everywhere are working hard to make quality education
accessible to everyone. In Tanzania, 51% of the
population are children, but fewattend kindergarten.
So the charity Children in Crossfire is giving parents
learning materials so they can prepare their kids for primary

(32:03):
school at home. In Singapore, government values
teachers very highly, so they are paid well for their work and
given lots of training to becomeeven better.
Together, we can make quality education a reality for
everyone, everywhere. So I can imagine people in other

(32:29):
countries seeing this, especially children who don't
understand geopolitics, you know, sort of why they might
want to feel, make them feel guilty about having access to
education if they are, for example, in the UK or the
Western countries. But anyway, Global Kittens
provides this particular colouring page that if you want
to download it, they can colour the SDGS that shows exactly how

(32:51):
to proceed through all of them. And so you can just see over and
over again that these curriculumproviders are finding all kinds
of ways to make things appeal tochildren to kind of get them
afraid about this SDGS and what they need to be doing to save
the planet. I want to remind people as well,
and this is very important, about Julian Huxley, who was the
person who founded UNESCO. I'll get back to him in just a

(33:15):
minute, but think about Julian Huxley being a eugenicist.
And if we actually look now at what Sandy Adams says that SDG
Four really does, we can see theconnections, which is the
standard curricula globally to promote the UN approved
ideology, rewrite history, push climate alarmism and identity
politics, create a generation primed for compliance with

(33:35):
techno product norms and ultimately artificial
intelligence driven teaching andassessment, which I saw signs of
before I left the education sector.
Now returning to Julian Huxley, I have a couple of things about
him. First, let's watch this quick
video that summarises the document that he wrote, which
introduced UNESCO and its relation to the United Nations

(33:56):
back in the 1940s. In UNESCO's Purpose and
Philosophy document, Huxley writes, the scientific method
has firmly established itself asthe only reliable means by which
we can increase both our knowledge of and control over
objective natural phenomena. Fundamental to his thesis was

(34:18):
the central idea that humankind could guide the process of
evolution consciously. Natural selection was to be
replaced by conscious selection as the motto of evolution, the
possible rate of which was therefore enormously speed up.
Perhaps the most significant of the claims made in this document

(34:38):
was the need for UNESCO to promote population control and
the study of the eugenics problem.
It is very curious for Julian Huxley to be destined to drive
men's evolutionary progress whenhis brother, none other than
Elder Huxley, gave us a brave new world.

(35:02):
So just to follow up that dystopian video, and I want to
just read a couple of quotes from his UNESCO document where
he said the recognition of the idea of an optimum population
size, of course, relative to technological and social
conditions is an indispensable first step towards that planned
control of populations, which isnecessary if man's blind

(35:24):
reproductive urges are not to wreck his ideals and his plans
for material and spiritual betterment.
And then on the next slide we can see as well he's saying
that, you know, we need to recognise that this population
control is going to happen and we that we are replacing
basically we can't replace the wildlife, but we can look at

(35:46):
what we can do about the problemof mankind.
It is necessary if we are to realise a time that areas must
be set aside where in the ultimate interest of mankind as
a whole, the spread of man must take second place to the
conservation of other species. So now we see we're saving the
planet, we're saving other things, not necessarily saving
mankind. And ultimately, in the

(36:07):
conclusion of this document, he says that what UNESCO must aim
at is not the promotion of a single movement, but the
orchestration of diversity. Diversity.
We hear that word everywhere now, don't we?
The task is to help the emergence of a single world
culture with its own philosophy and background of ideas and with
its own broad purpose. So later on in the news, I will

(36:30):
be coming back to specifically education for Sustainable
development and how libraries are helping to promote SDG 4 to
our children, Brian and Ben. Diane, thank you very much for
that excellent analysis. And of course it's in our faces
now. We're not dealing with policy,
which is national policy coming out of Westminster or

(36:52):
parliaments of other nation states.
We're dealing with the international rules based order
and it's policies for, yes, A1 world system.
And of course, if you're going to have a one world system, the
military and the police have gotto be fully integrated in that.
And of course, wars are very good machinery for reducing

(37:14):
those nasty men and women on theplanet.
If you want to be deeply cynicalabout it.
Let's take a break just for a bit and say a huge thank you to
everybody who supports UK column, because we can only do
this with your financial support.
If you're not already a supporter, have a look on the UK

(37:35):
Column web page and you can click the magic button in order
to support us, make a donation or join up for a monthly or
annual membership. Or some people prefer to join us
as a lifetime member now. Huge thank you to everybody
who's already signed up for the UK Column on location in York on

(37:59):
the 18th of October. Andrew Wakefield speaking.
We've also mentioned your ability to be able to see
Protocol 7 with this. We've mentioned Tess Laurie as
another speaker. But today I'm going to say Ben,
you will also be speaking to theaudience at this event.

(38:20):
And it's really good that we have got auk column speaker
taking part. We've got more speakers to talk
about, but I have to say we are now left with just a few
tickets. I think we've got a couple over
80 left. We would like to see you there,
so if you haven't got a ticket yet, please get onto the website

(38:42):
and make a purchase. It's going to be a really
wonderful event, superb surroundings and we look forward
to seeing you all there. Now, Germ Warfare tonight at
7:00 PM is an interview with Simon Roche.
And Diane, you've got some articles that have gone up here

(39:05):
on the UK Column website. You've been kind enough just to
take us through. Yes, just some articles that I
have published in the past week as our commissioning editor for
written content. The first one I'd like to point
out is what we hope will be the first part of a four part series
with Hugh McCarthy, who we've had lots of content from him in
the past. He's a retired head teacher in

(39:26):
Northern Ireland. This is a four part series about
the effects of the the lockdownsand and the 2020 episode on
children. This one is basically saying
evidence from mainstream sourcesand so on that are easily
quotable, saying that yes, they did know what they were doing to
children and they did it anyway.The other article that I have
here is from Mark Anderson, who's, of course one of our

(39:48):
Friday contributors. He wrote a report about the UN
and 80 and other key topics highlighted at Tulsa's Red Pill
Expo. He's covered Red Pill Expo for
us in past years, and this is this year's report from that
event. And finally, we have an article
that I wanted to highlight, which is really interesting from
Doctor Yopes Landreba. Charles Mallett mentioned this

(40:09):
one on Wednesday's news as well,asking questions about AI and
whether it is evil or good and the power of AI.
And I'd like to cover one thing here as well, which is happening
up here in Scotland. It's the Food and Health
Festival which is sponsored by my organisation, which I am a
member of the Executive Committee at Commodologist

(40:32):
Edinburgh, taking place on the 28th of September at 10 AM in
Murkeston. I'm a member of this committee
and I would also like to announce that I'm very excited
that Charles Mallett will be up here with me to speak at the
conference as someone who knows quite a bit about this area and
tickets are free. So if you want to come see me
and Charles on the 28th of September in Edinburgh, please

(40:52):
join us. Excellent, Diane.
Thank you very much for that. Well, let's come back to you,
Ben. And you've been looking at
really the creation of the alternative society for some
time. You're back on the subject of
Makespace Oxford. Yeah.
What's going on in Oxfordshire? So I reported on this back in
June, I believe it was. We looked at Makespace Oxford.

(41:15):
It's theory of change to transform our entire society
basically into something completely new.
Well, I mean, this will define better.
But to remind ourselves, let's have a little listen to this
short film from Matespace Oxfordtalking about the work that
they're doing. We've encountered hidden layers

(41:36):
affecting places and spaces in our county, ultimately
underpinned by inequity. Want to know what they are?
One values and beliefs. The culture of extraction and
exclusion has led to private, individualised ownership focused
around profit and growth rather than what the community actually

(41:58):
needs. 2 Funding, resources and knowledge.
Money isn't going to the right places, it's not being shared
within neighbourhoods or it's travelling abroad. 3 Contracts,
systems and processes. The business owners are
struggling with complex laws which are out of date and

(42:20):
inaccessible. We can see that the land and
property system is not working for people or our living planet.
So what's our alternative? The Makespace approach.
Our mission is to unlock spaces and resources, build capacity
within communities, influence local governments and power
holders to transform the land and property system together.

(42:45):
Collaborating locally and nationally, we're working with
those developing Demonstrator Neighbourhood Hubs, large spaces
that bring lots of groups together to imagine and
prototype alternative futures bycreating new forms of social and
civic infrastructure that's democratic, regenerative and
interconnected. They already exist in one form

(43:09):
or another, but now we want to go deeper.
The answer to all the challengeswe've posed in this video is
right here in our community. It just needs the right
conditions to be nurtured. Makespace Oxfordshire is one
part of that process by helping to create the places and
conditions for people to thrive.Join us as we build an

(43:31):
alternative future, centring community wealth, climate
resilience, and fostering cultures of care and connection.
Well Ben, nauseating music as always and many of our viewers

(43:53):
offended by it quite rightly. But notice the Soft Cell society
is going to change into something better and we need
better communities to do this. So you're lead into to believing
that they are going to be working through communities in a
very soft way. But of course, before the

(44:14):
revolution can really install itself, the old has to be
destroyed. And I'll just remind people
where we started warning about what is really under the
surface, stirring everything to do with national pride and the
flags. So you want to destroy the old
society? If you can get everybody at each

(44:34):
other's throats, then they can bring in this new, very
dangerous utopia. Exactly.
And, and while everyone's getting upset outside of migrant
hotels in Epping or elsewhere around the country, this thing
is being built in the background.
That's what you speak. Absolutely.
Yeah. And this is this is communism,

(44:56):
basically. It's the 21st century variety of
communism. Woke corporatism basically is
the term that I've arrived at because you have communist ideas
brought to you by international corporations.
And those two things are workingtogether in parallel.
And this has been been going on since 2021.
And there's this document that one of their reports and they

(45:21):
have up in the top left hand corner, it says meanwhile in
Oxfordshire. And for me, this this speaks to
what's happening here, right? Because they're deliberately
orchestrating chaos around the country.
And meanwhile, like they're cutting to a different scene in
the story. You have to understand that,
that what's playing out on your TV screens, it is a story, is a
narrative, it's been scripted. And I think that this, this

(45:43):
document explains that really well.
So they kicked off in 2021. It's been a whole process that
they've gone through. And ultimately they are seeking
to actively engaged in the totalwholesale transformation of our
society from top to bottom. They're still at it, believe it
or not. Of course they are.
And they just announced this little event coming up in 10

(46:05):
days or so, 16th of September. So a couple of weeks out.
And this is brought to you by anorganisation called Cooperative
Futures. Makespace Oxford are in the mix
as well. There's always a kind of network
of these things making it more difficult to pin down.
But ultimately, this is all about delivering the UN
sustainable development agenda. Funded by UK government, of

(46:27):
course. Funded by UK government
makespace. The chair of makespace was a
senior civil servant until she stepped down.
The week after the day I think it was, I did that initial
report. I can't remember if I mentioned
that on the news before. So what's this all about?
This event coming up? So it's about providing 1 to 1
social business development support, free training
workshops, peer support groups to the people that are engaged

(46:49):
in building this new communitarian system.
A lot of it centres around this,which is the introduction of
this thing called a community interest company, CIC, which is
essentially a new type of business.
And if you provide a link, you can go and have a look at the
the page on the.gov website. But essentially CIC, they're

(47:10):
limited companies which operate to provide a benefit to the
community they serve. The purpose of the CIC is
primarily one of community benefit rather than private
profit, importantly introduced by Blair in 2005.
So this is kind of been sat in the background.
It's really being elevated at the moment and it's actually

(47:30):
being used by a lot of people inthe freedom movement, I've
noticed. And I think that there might be
an issue here. I think this is a trap.
I can understand why people are going for this structure.
There's something to do with theway it's constituted where you
have to pass a community interest test.
So the CIC must satisfy the regulator that a reasonable
person might consider that the CI, CS activities are will be

(47:52):
carried out for the benefit of the community.
That's when you've got the regulator involved, reasonable
people that have been educated in the right way potentially
that are signed up to this system.
I think there's a control component here, compliance
component that is is going to come back and bite people with
the with this structure. I think this is a really
important part of this new system that they're building.

(48:16):
One example of the CICS, and really crucially in terms of who
is coming into the country in order to build this new system,
is this organisation which was part of the ecosystem around
this event coming up on the 16th, right?
And this is really important. African families in the UKCIC
The vision of a FIUK is to equipAfrican and other ethnic

(48:38):
minority families in the UK to take their rightful place as
fruitful members of our society and to make the most of the
available opportunities in theiradopted country without
adversely affecting the strong family and community networks
that Africans are known for. That's interesting, right?
Because they're doing everythingthey can to undermine family and

(49:01):
community in in the UK, but whenthey're bringing people in from
Africa and elsewhere, they're going to do everything that they
possibly can to avoid undermining those strong family
and community networks because those are what make communities
robust. Interestingly, that interesting,
isn't it? At which?
Point I say Ben. And of course, what's actually

(49:21):
going to happen is they will eventually betray those African.
Families because they. Won't look after them at all,
no. No, they'll do exactly the same
thing to them that they're doingto us right now, importantly,
really importantly. And by the way, I don't think
the vast, vast, vast majority ofpeople coming into the country
through programmes like this, we've got any indication
whatsoever that they're caught up in something potentially

(49:44):
dangerous, frankly for them as well as everyone around them.
Let's just go back to this, to this slide.
Let's let me just assume. I mean, there was loads in that
text that we could spend time on, but we're a bit pushed with
time. So maybe we can pick that up
again in extra. But look at that, African
families in the UK, Africa presents it as being the same
size as the UK, Africa's land. The UK is nought .8% of the size

(50:10):
in terms of land mass as Africa and it's got 4% of the
population. So there's already a lot more
densely populated. But apparently we've got to
bring African families into the UK.
Interesting. And it's not just African
families importantly, because ifyou go to the AFIUK website you
can see that it's also other racially minoritized families in
Oxfordshire. So this is basically anyone who

(50:32):
isn't ethnically English. And let's be absolutely clear,
this is who is serving the interests of it's run by these
two ladies. So this is Jackie Gitau.
I'm saying that, right? And then Doctor Rachel Walton at
the top there, who's a communityleader, author, strategic
innovator, partnering with various councils, Oxfordshire

(50:55):
County Council, Oxford City Council, the University of
Oxford, Oxford, all over this. The library in Blackbird Leaves
is in there. So that's quite interesting,
should overlap quite nicely withwhat Ian's going to talk about
in a moment. And importantly, because I
hadn't drawn this direct connection in the last report,
the King. So they've just received the

(51:16):
King's Award for Transformative Impact.
This was issued just a month agoand this award lives on the DCMS
website Departure of Culture, Media and Sport.
So this is all being run out of the establishment, central
government, royal family. And he hasn't just put his name
to it. He was also in attendance at the

(51:37):
awards ceremony, handing them out to these lovely ladies to
put his royal mark of approval on the creation of a completely
new communitarian parallel system in Oxfordshire.
While the country is going up in, well, metaphorically going
up in flames, hopefully it doesn't go up in actual flames.
Meanwhile, the big headline is is about the Queen fighting off
an attacker with her shoe when she was younger.

(52:00):
I'm not. Talking about what this is
about. So the Telegraph, does the
Telegraph know what's going on? I'm going to say they don't.
Not at. I'm going to.
Say they do. Editorial board does.
I'm going to say the average journalist.
Average journalist? Probably not.
But we are putting this information across.
Have you, have you got? Was that the finals?
That is, that is me, Don, Brian.Diane, let's bring you back.

(52:24):
We've we've got so much we'd like to talk about in today's
news. It's always a problem to fit it
in with available time. But let's bring you bring you
back. And of course, the subject is
really the attack on children's minds by this Rules based
international Order group. Yes, that's right.

(52:45):
And following up on what I just covered in my previous segment
ending with Julian Huxley, UNESCO, which is as I said, he
founded with that document talking about population control
and putting man 2nd and the, youknow, the issue of saying
diversity versus the one world order, like what is actually
going on there. But anyway, UNESCO is known as
they call themselves the United Nations Specialised Agency for

(53:07):
Education. And to go along with Agenda
2030, they also have Education 2030, which is what I'm going to
focus on here in just a little bit more.
They wrote this document called the Education for Sustainable
Development, a road map. And this is I think around 80
pages. Again, as I do for all of our
viewers, normally I read it so you don't have to.

(53:27):
And what it talks about in specifically is basically how
we're going to educate people, children and so on in the
schools and libraries on how to how to become sustainable
development citizens. The in the introduction to it,
we have Stefania Dianini, who was the assistant director of
UNESCO for education. She said that the so called

(53:48):
COVID-19 pandemic that spread across the planet in 2020 is not
only a global health crisis, it is a crisis affecting every
aspect of our lives. And one that has revealed she
had a misspelling there revelledthe fragility of our
interdependence with nature. Again, nature being more
important than us. We have learned that as forests
are destroyed, not only are wildanimals endangered and

(54:11):
ecosystems weakened, but also humans become exposed to unknown
infectious agents that can threaten their lives.
Now how all that exactly ties inwith a so called deadly virus,
I'm not sure. But anyway, SDG target 4.7 as
sustainable development and global citizenship is considered
to be a very major target withinone of the biggest SDG goals

(54:33):
which is education. And this one says that by 2030.
So we've only got less than fiveyears left now for this.
Ensure that all learners acquirethe knowledge and skills needed
to promote sustainable development, including among
others, through education for sustainable development and
sustainable lifestyles. Human rights, gender equality,
promotion of a culture of peace and non violence.

(54:54):
It's not exactly what we're seeing in the world right now.
Global citizenship and appreciation of cultural
diversity. There's that word again.
And of culture's contribution tosustainable development.
So we can see in here again and part of the eight page report,
we have a sustainable development goal wheel, which we
have shown before. And this shows specifically how
each of the 17 SDGS ties in directly to education.

(55:18):
So it's not just SDG 4, it's allof them.
And you can look at that in moredetail.
The link will be in the show notes for that.
So when I'm talking specificallyabout libraries and reading,
which of course is one of my my loves of my life, we have a book
club from the UN, which is the the Sustainable Development Goal
book Club, which is part of SDG 17 partnerships for the goals.

(55:41):
And so I want to talk here specifically about IFLA and
relation to reading and library.So IFLA is the International
Association or federation for library associations and
institutions. I know this organisation well
because it's sort of the parent organisation for all worldwide
library associations, including here in the UK, which I used to
be a member of before I was exiled from there, as well as

(56:04):
the American Library Association, which I used to
belong to. And they just held their annual
conference, the World Library and Information Congress, last
month. So here is a clip from the
president of Ifla. Her name is Vicki McDonald,
she's a librarian from Australiaand the conference was held in
Astana, Kazakhstan. Please strengthen our voice.

(56:29):
Since our last Congress in Rotterdam in 2023, there has
been significant changes in our world.
The influence of geopolitical forces is impacting every corner
of the world. It's in impacting our daily work
and now perhaps more than any other time in almost 100 years
at IFLA. As a profession, we need to be

(56:49):
more vocal about the contributions that we can make
to our respective communities. We need to be searching.
For radical solutions and use our collective voice to drive
better. Outcomes for our communities,
but also at a global level. One of Ifla's strengths is our
recognition as a global voice for libraries.

(57:11):
But we can. Only credibly engage in spaces
like the United Nations and UNESCO.
If we can show that this voice truly represents a field that is
constantly striving to. So we can see here Vicki
McDonald making claims, as IFLA has done for years, about it
being a globalist organisation and promoting the global agenda.

(57:33):
I was a member of the Education and Training Committee as an
elected member of the committee up until last year when I
resigned from the organisation. It's also interesting to note
that Vicki McDonald was president in 2024 leading up to
the 2024 IFLA conference. They decided to withdraw from
holding the conference in Dubai because Dubai was not seen as

(57:55):
being an inclusive place for theLGBT community.
Never mind that they were excluding a large part of the
world by excluding that part of the world.
Anyway, IFLA just published a book.
Or one of the groups of IFLA which focuses on sustainable
development goals published thisbook in June this year called
Libraries Driving Education for Sustainable Development.
This is over 400 pages telling you exactly how libraries of all

(58:17):
types can promote sustainable development education.
Here is also a poster that is meant to be placed in school
libraries around the world, which is the IF like UNESCO
School Library Manifesto 2025. So if you are near a school
library or have children in school libraries, take a look at
this and see if you can spot this poster anywhere.
I'd be interested to hear if youdo find it.

(58:39):
And a group that has been working for years within IFLA
has created this resource calledLibrary Map of the World, which
shows exactly which sustainable development goals are being met
and in which ways and by which countries and what they're
doing. So if we drill down as I did
here to SDG 4, which again is quality education, we see that
there are 45 stories in 31 countries explaining exactly how

(59:03):
these are being implemented in libraries around the world.
So we have a video here that I would like to just show quickly
from Ukraine. This is called SDG Stories and
it talks about here which sustainable development goals
they are meeting. And we see here the Children's
library in Ukraine is empoweringchildren to tackle the
environment and issues. Children looking happy.

(59:24):
Their Garbage Hero project helpsfamilies learn about recycling
while having fun. Waste management children apply
their knowledge during interactive activities at the
library, online and in their homes.
And what else are they doing here?
Well, since 3000, children since2016 between ages 4 and 15 have
taken part 70% of families have reported improved attitudes and

(59:46):
recycling habits. And there are more stories
available from around the world on the library map of the world
and these SGG stories. So we can see exactly how
they're doing it. And I would imagine that Ukraine
has more to worry about at this point in time than how much the
children are learning to recycle.
But the part of the bigger agenda, of course, with
population control, we see things around the LGBT community

(01:00:07):
and the promotion of of, of, youknow, deviant sexual behaviours,
paedophilia. Here's an example from 2023,
when the Daily Mail reported about a book called Granddad's
Pride. They reported to the library
that they weren't happy about itand the nursery agreed to
withdraw the book from the lessons.
This book is called Granddad's Pride.
As I said, it's it's got anotherbook which is related to it by

(01:00:29):
the same author called Granddad's Camper.
So there's the cover of the book.
And I will talk about this book more and extra because I
actually own a copy of it and I've looked at the contents
quite a bit. I'm writing an article about it,
but here's just some of the images we see here, for example,
MAP, which is shown as a map, but it could also be an
abbreviation potentially for minor attractive persons.

(01:00:49):
We see the slogan love is love is love, which is used by a
certain pedophilic communities and minor talk to people as they
call them. And we see here two men wearing
a bondage gear, fetish gear, talking about all all we need is
love and it's all about love andinclusion and it's all
wonderful. So I again, we'll talk about
this book more an extra, but I just wanted to show that this is

(01:01:11):
an example of how we are puttingthis agenda around population
control and control of children's minds directly into
the hands of the children and the libraries on the schools.
Brian. Joanne, thank you very much.
Really important to expose this so that parents, wherever you
are, can see it. And of course when you see it,
you can challenge it and fight it.

(01:01:32):
But it's obvious that the minds of children are being targeted
by this pernicious material and the aim is to breakdown family
life, is to breakdown proper relationships between men and
women themselves. So very, very dangerous stuff,
and to see library libraries being used as a weapon on a

(01:01:53):
global basis is truly horrific. But we'll discuss it a little
bit more in extra time. Now we're going to end today's
news on what we think is a very big positive.
We will show part of a clip thatwe have about the Hope Festival,
which we attended a couple of weeks ago now.

(01:02:13):
It was a tremendous event, lots of really interesting people
coming together, socialise, relax, enjoy each other's
company in brilliant weather, music and camping.
And one of the things that struck me was although everybody
was largely very casually dressed, a huge mix of different
people. So we had professionals, we had

(01:02:37):
non professionals, we had musicians, we had people skilled
at working with their hands. All of those people coming
together, all of those people understanding something really
bad going wrong in our society and they were all there
determined to do something aboutit.
So let's have a look at a coupleof minutes of this and we'll see

(01:02:58):
the full video in UK column extra in a few moments.
The first, the original and manyhere would say the best Hope
Freedom Music Festival. The event started in 2022,
providing a sanctuary of sanity for those questioning the

(01:03:18):
madness going on in the world. Now in its fourth year and
having inspired many other freedom festivals in the UK,
it's still regarded by many as the original outdoor home for
those seeking truth, like mindedpeople, music and fun.
The organisers Sadie Single and Katie Jo Murphy and the huge

(01:03:41):
team that makes up Hope work tirelessly all year to make the
event happen. Battling against the COVID
insanity may have been the original reason for Hope, but
now it's not about fighting. I think the whole point of hope
and creating community is a transition away from mainstream
society to create something elsethat's completely different.

(01:04:02):
It's the it's what we want. It's our society surrounded by
the people that we love and we want.
Growing food and educating our children in our vision is what
we want. I've spent a lot of my life
fighting against the system and I've realised after quite a long
time that it's actually completely pointless.
You just need to create your ownsystem in time, and that's

(01:04:24):
really what we're doing at Hope.If there were more places like
this, then there would be more places for people to go.
And we just grow bigger and bigger and stronger and
stronger. And I do think it is a case of
we just say no, we've, we have got to start just removing
ourselves and going, we're not going to do it.
We're not complying. That's our that's our strongest

(01:04:45):
weapon I think is the ability tosay we're not having it, Doing
our bit for freedom and truth ofcourse.
UK column The team took over theHope Talk tent for the whole day
on Saturday. 7 hours of presentations, a live recording
of UK Column news and Q&A with avery switched on audience.

(01:05:07):
It was informative, inspiring, uplifting and it certainly hit
the spot. The tent was well there.
We are a taster. We will show the full clip in UK
column in in a few moments. But Ben, you were there, you
were speaking really wonderful people and great to see such

(01:05:27):
interest in what was actually happening in the country and the
and the information that UK column was putting across it
was. Fantastic, Yeah.
Best weekend of the summer for me.
Indeed. And Diane, you managed to get
down all the way from North Eastof England, so that was
fantastic as well. We must end today's news.
Too much to put across today, but we'll try and we'll try and

(01:05:51):
work more in of what's happening, obviously UK
worldwide in the up and coming UK column, news editions.
But we must end for today. So I'm going to say, Ben, thank
you very much for joining me. Joanne, thank you for joining
me. If you are AUK column member, we
will be live with extra in a fewminutes time.
