PMQs #004 - I'm Withdrawing My Consent from the British State

Hello. Hello. Welcome to another episode of the podcast. I'm Peter McCormack. I've got your boy, your Bedford Grooper. Connor here. How you doing, man? Oh, who's the grouper now, actually? Who's the grouper now? You're the grouper. Mhmm. It has been an it's been an interesting week. I don't think I've ever had a week where I've read so much, written so much. I wrote four articles. I call this I call this week an inflection point where I think I've I think I've given my last fuck. I'm I'm done pretending that what we have here, this this democracy that we have in this country works anymore. I'm done. I'm over it. I wanna talk about that today. I wanna talk about a couple of things. The inflection point came. I watched an interview between Piers Morgan and Nick Fuentes, and I didn't know much about Nick Fuentes at the time.

We're gonna end the decay. I am at that point now where I believe every cup every government is set to fail, and it's set to fail because of the lack of limitations that we have with the government. And it's not because politicians are evil. I don't believe they're evil. I just believe the incentives are set up for particularly weak, unintelligent people to exploit us, to continue the decay that we've had in this country. And so, yeah, here we are. I mean, Connor, look. Connor's my ballroom ram. We talk about this every every day in the car, every evening. Like, what's it like for you? You do like I'm fed up. I'm fed up. I'm fed up. Okay. Why are you fed up? It's the it's it's like the future hope. There isn't really much, is there, from what you can see. And, it's like you say. So what if a turquoise color gets into parliament?
