UK Catch-up: Princesses and Pogroms (Premium E258)

Belfast mentioned 🦅 Something darkly funny about a violent mob getting a bit lost in an area called “the holy lands” on their racist march. What is this? The 11-13th century?

If I had to use a clip to demonstrate insanity, that ending clip would be it.

Who knew supporting a genocide and calling 20 year Olds in tents nazis wasn't a winning strategy. She should have picked shapiro as her VP if she planned on hanging with Liz cheney 24/7....

Guys we need Proof of Life… since election. And maybe Q will really die this time since they Won

Hey Folks, Dermot Cosgrove Just a point on Liv’s question to Annie about the make up of the anti immigrant protest in Belfast. It was almost exclusively from the Protestant Ulster Loyalist community. It was organised and orchestrated by members of the UDA, Ulster Defence Association, and their militarised wing the UVF, Ulster Volunteer Force. When I say “almost” it’s because some assholes from an anti-immigrant protest in Dublin “Coolock Says No” travelled up to Belfast for the protest and were widely photographed along Protestant extremists. This ended with them being branded traitors and pretty much the collapse of the Coolock protest. It also exposed the links between the Coolock organisers and the UDA who are both involved in drug trafficking. There was a whole program aired in Ireland on it. Also, Catholic in Ireland is only really a community identifying term as someone from the Nationalist side. Nationalist as in united Ireland not white nationalists. It’s the same as our Republican and US Republican. Irish Catholics regard US and UK Catholics as weirdo dorks with more in common with US Protestants.

How do we still not have a post election Episode to help us cope and laugh???????? 😿

Annie done drank a Stonehenge druids potion and fell asleep for nine months

In addition to the other points about "Protecting our children" being sus, I would add that it's partly made sus by the fact that it inherently implies that the people who will see this AREN'T interested in protecting children.

Finally! Got to listen. Awesome show, just commenting to say that I’m glad to hear Annie is back 😄. She always gives fantastic analysis, with an English accent. Super cool, (Jake is right about that 😆). We apparently need much more info on the manosphere

Would love to hear discussion of the fake Kate Middleton stuff vis-a-vis the fake Melania speculation

Thomas Crooks... the least Chinese man of all time

Good show again. Jake's voice work is always fun. Good lad, Jakey!

Annie's back, but conspicuously her cat hasn't been heard from in months! #AnniesCatDungeon

It’s always the ears that ensnares the deep state - the ears NEVER lie

I read the chat before listening and I’d like to add my compliments to Jake’s 🇬🇧 accent work. Also, I love Julian but it always tickles me to hear someone else pick up the comments he may have made. Welcome back Annie!! Knitting a giant 🇺🇸 flag with a lizard person in the center for our favorite baby

The “protect the children” dog whistle Annie was talking about, is so popular because it’s the ultimate say what u want with zero ability to refute it card. What, you don’t wanna protect children? How dare you.

You know that corner? I’d say we turned it. Well done, Patriots.

I'm going to hell, newspapers today are all pictures of Kate at rememberence yesterday and my first thought was ooh, that's actually her.

So happy to have Annie back on the show!

I'm an American living in the UK and it's been... Fun... This year. One thing you may get a kick from is that the local shops in my area owned by foreign or minority groups put HUGE Union flags in their windows in August like "Dare your to attack your own flag, shit heads" because to smash it up they'd have to throw rocks at their own national flag

Keir Starmer wishes he sounded like Jake's impression. In reality he sounds like an even whinier, more nasal Alan Partridge. Real "geography teacher trying to control an unruly classroom" energy.

Anyone following the growing liberal election theft conspiracy threads? Wild, and predictable, to see stop the steal language bubbling up.

Welcome to the Overton Window.

Congrats on having the new national baby

Is this like the majority of Annie episodes where there are way too many extremely long clips of insane people talking? I rarely make it through any of her episodes because I feel like I'm getting brain cancer, instead of summarizing the insane ramblings of the crazy people she's talking about, she just lets them go on and on and on in extended clips.

Annie is back! <3

Annie, I hope you are recovering well. Hard lonely work, but you sound strong. I’m picturing the nicest, cutest and smartest baby that has ever lived. Love to this baby and to you.

So far I’ve only read the show notes … my immediate thought was…. This wasn’t the death of an empire. It’s a change of hands. It’s now an Oligarchy. Look at all the adorable Billionaires in his cabinet. People voted for money … not democracy. However hopefully we believed that we could have a real one. I gave people more credit. Maybe I’m stupid and wrong, who knows. Also, not only Gaza matters. Ukraine is a canary in a coal mine. It also matters. My heart is breaking for Ukraine too. The economy really IS great. YES there are problems (before and after Covid) but we had it better than we understood, because it’s not based on the price of eggs (which went down but no one noticed 😆). However, if they implement even a few of Trumps plans, the great economy he inherited won’t last But the serfdom will be fat and happy while Republicans reveal their endgame. As of this mornings news, it will be as outlined in their 2025 project. A good example of how it will slowly unfold is Putins takeover of Russia… it’s a mafia state now. La Cosa Nostra is only cool on TV. Anyway, I won’t wax on with doom and gloom… no one can argue a hypothetical for long before people just roll their eyes.

Jake’s best British accent is undoubtedly when he’s doing Michael Flynn, based on the late Scottish beefcake, Sir Sean Connery.

D'yaknow?

Jake's British accent isn't too bad, occasionally leans Australian but you can't have everything. He's clearly watched a few Statham movies in his time.

The British Punisher is Judge Dredd, which I could totally see British chuds appropriating without irony.

I can't imagine having to flee a country ravaged by civil war to set up a new life and open a business only to have it burned down by a mob of dipshits because they saw something racist on social media. This one was a real downer.

Remember to reserve your place in line for a free med-bed folks!

Little late to the party, but that opening song is a banger.

Welcome back Annie! It’s been fun pretending that the UK is completely fine and actually more normal than the US for the last 6+ months while you were gone. Oh well! I’m very excited and concerned for all the ways you are going to disabuse me of that notion…

"Influencers" are the new, fifth horseman of the Apocalypse. He rides a horse wrapped in digital camo.

Thanks for this! No rush but would love an episode on how republicans captured mom groups and health/wellness influencers with RFK Jr and “MAHA” 🤢 (which I should’ve seen coming but had no idea until countless people I follow unexpectedly started celebrating Trump’s win)

Human pets is spot on. Congrats on your baby annie!

British punisher is just judge dredd

That outro was a crazy ride.

Not sure it got mentioned, but the 'two tier policing' meme - while it's not new - was mainstreamed in the UK in an op ed by the then Home Secretary Suella Braverman. She accused the Met Police of being soft on pro-Palestine demonstrators, which is thoroughly insane and on brand for her.

1. Jake's british accent has gotten slightly better. 2. Please take care of yourselves, QAA hosts. We need you more than ever in the next couple of years

The national BAYbyy is back! with a baby of her own! Congratulations 🎉 I already like this episode I haven't even seen it yet 😁

My take on the kate stuff is that it was a massive fumble on the part of the royals' PR team. They never should have posted or responded to anything, and imo it was crazy fucked up of them to either A. have Kate write an apology for the mother's day photo, or B. write an apology on her behalf. Either way, thus completely throwing her under the bus WHILE she was actively dealing with her recovery and cancer prognosis.

Annie! Congratulations on the baby. My babies are nearly 20, enjoy it!

Colbert is a Opus Dei Catholic

I know this tars me as a sicko but I have been really looking forward to Annie breaking down the riots

Welcome back Annie!! Sorry everything burnt to the ground!!!!

Jake, Annie, and Liv is a helluva vibe

the thing about ai paranoia infecting photo analysis is totally where we're headed. I took one of those ai vs. real tests the other day. Almost all the ones I got wrong were false ai positives (I didnt identify any ai photos real but I tagged several real photos as ai). Its only going to contribute to more baking and an ever more schizophrenic grasp of reality

Annie's accent is so soothing and other non substantive comments

liv agar

The term "mass deportation" has been around for while, am almost certain, it wasn't just invented for trump's campaign

Jesus, I laughed out loud hard at Jake's British accent when it cut in.

Surely the soothing voice of UK Correspondent Annie Kelly will fix me

Liv Agarrrr

Liv Agar

Annie Kelly is here to save us 🥹💕

The National Baby reborn!

Oh hell yes. Thank you guys so much, this is just what I needed tonight.

Tbh was kinda avoiding the aching despair of UK news cos the US teased a moment of change for a bit. Seeing as that's all thrown down the shitter now ...I'm sorry aching despair, I didn't mean those nasty things I said, that was old me - could you ever forgive? Oh how I've almost missed you!

I have literally been waiting for Annie Kelly’s episode on Kate Middleton conspiracy theories for most of the year. Words cannot express how much this means to me.

Thanks for that, I've been deliberately avoiding the terrible US news and the mostly bad takes on it.

thank god an Annie episode is just what I need!!! I have missed you so much

Oh good, something uplifting this week
