White Skin, White Masks feat. Nish Kumar

We shall fight in France, Gaule, Francia, Marianne, La Patrie des Lumières. We shall fight on the seas and the oceans and the deeps and the briny and the waves and Neptune’s realm. We shall fight with growing confidence, self-esteem, assurance, aplomb, boldness, and presence; and growing strength, might, brawn, vigor, potency, and stamina in the air We shall defend our island, whatever the cost, toll, penalty, sacrifice, or loss may be. We shall fight on the beaches, the shores, the shingles, the coastlines, the seasides, the sands, the surfs, the waterfronts, the docks, the piers, the littoral boundaries and the oceanfronts. We shall fight on the landing grounds, the airfields, the air strips, the aerodromes, the runways, the taxiways, the ramps, the airbases and the open tracts of land. We shall fight in the fields and in the streets, in the paddocks and in the roads, in the meadows and in the alleys, in the pastures and in the avenues, in the tracts and in the boulevards, in the thoroughfares and in the acreages. We shall fight in the hills, mounds, knolls, hummocks, hillocks, ridges, bluffs, peaks, heights, downs, braes, buttes and fells. We shall never surrender, capitulate, yield, concede, submit or succumb.

This book is proper insulting-your-intelligence stuff

Listening to this on a late night drive fuck yeah

O objetivo é provocar. Eles estão sendo estúpidos para te provocar.

I've heard Riley say "I'm not a wooferendum guy" enough now that I'm gonna have to go combing through photos of that protest just to make sure. I'm convinced there's a 'Bollocks to Brexit' shirt hidden shamefully away in a cupboard somewhere.

(Johnny Cash singing) I've been to London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Louton, Slough, Watford, Wexford, Blackburn, Bradford, Cambridge, Coventry, Carley, Milton Keynes, Nottingham, Oxford. Peterborough, Reading, Little Somalia, Wolverhampton, Hartsmere, Bedford, Bexley, Oldham, Preston, Pendle, Thurick, Derby, Haversham, Bromley I've been everywhere man, I've been everywhere. Somali shopping square, man, I've been everywhere

as a woke, my sentimental favourite book is dodie smith’s ‘i capture the institutions’

Love a reference to the Morozov episode that went so badly Milo was banned from the segments with any of the more serious academic guests

Not sure you should have bothered to read this one Riley, since Matt Goodwin didn't bother to write it.

Solid episode closer from Nova: "Shoulda called him Matt Badlose, get the fuck outta my podcast"

Hearing the Benny Hill lost city list: 'these are rookie numbers. We need to get those up.'

my first day at Naming Towns School, I hope it goes well : )

It's the end of Britain as we know it, it's the end of Britain as we know, and I feel ambivalent.

Pictland for the Picts! Anglo-Saxen Raus!

My pet theory is that the passage of time and ultimately their death scares them. They can’t stand change are trapped by nostalgia.

Why does the title "___ of a nation" sound so familiar? Is there some step of life before suicide that a nation could undergo? I just can't place it!

I didn't know that Goodwin had included the lyrics to It's Grim Up North by the KLF in his book. I almost have to respect that.

As a fan of "If Books Could Kill", I've really enjoyed this episode

If Matt Goodwin really is an academic, by now he should be used to writing stuff that nobody reads.

He is doing that episode of Dark Place where they put everything in slow motion to fill up the time.

‘the gum you like is coming back in style’ — hey nova, twin peaks be gay solve crimes, when?

Again, this guy was taken seriously by the living marxists over at aufhebungabunga

pederasty of the oppressed

Milo’s been gone for so long that there’s been a real absence of apoplectic rage. Glad Riley was able to fill in the gap, I think this is the angriest he’s been in all of TF

privatizes the trash pick-up to buy some uncut peruvian raw, puts it on the streets, flips it, and uses the gwop to pay down the council deficit

it's funny to hear them whinging about immigrants opening stores on high streets when 90% of them likely live in Benedorm

Thank you for standing up for the noble pursuit of Test match cricket. Check out CLR James!

i don’t know much about the guy but based on what i’ve heard Matt Goodwin sounds kinda like a darksided Mark Fisher

Having a little schoolgirl crush on the Substitute Teacher

To my, not exactly shame, but embarrassment I suspect that if Jeremy Corbyn hadn't been labour leader I might have been too doomed to have kids (I live in Australia btw)

I can't wait until Prime Minister November Kelly saves Britain.

Matt Goodwin and the Terrible, Horrible, No-Good, Very Bad Book

Doing the sickos guy face every time I see Nish Kumar is a guess, yes haha yes!

Bromley Patriots Rise Up ✊️✊️✊️

Thank the MCC we had a sensible guest on push back against November wilding out about cricket. Utterly baffling that Riley knows about the 20 overs variety, though.

"white British velociraptors" really took me out

Love you guys, long time listener, but also can you fuck off with the emdashes? Those are a relatively common grammatical affect (which is why they appear in LLM training data in the first place) and they were such before ai. I used to laugh that shit off, but I get harassed now when I post on Reddit or anywhere else. I’m Audhd and big proponent of speaking in one’s authentic voice; for me that involved emdashes. They’re a parenthetical notation, and as such they were very useful way of syntactically conveying the disjunctiveness of my experience. I already got a lot of shit literally every time I posted or spoke anywhere because I use words like ‘disjunctiveness of my experience’, and now people call me an AI. Which, like, I guess you could say that’s just ‘calling the autistic kid a robot’ so it’s more of the same, but like, some of you are autistic too. It’s not like it’s gotten easier to be online, and offline was never exactly welcoming to begin with. Y’all do it every episode you talk about AI and y’all have enough of an audience/influence that other anti-ai folks do it too, and like, it’s bad enough being autistic and trans in 2026, but can I at least use my fucking emdashes and write authentically without being called a robot because nobody knows what a parenthetical is? Or, failing that, can I at least not be reminded that I will get called a robot (again/as usual) if I post online when I’m listening to one of my favourite podcasts? Like, pick any other bullshit ai tell? Maybe the ones y’all use whenever you talk, like ‘it’s a testament to’ or something?

Councilwoman November showing up first day in the uniform of an Estonian Admiral, clears throat and speaks "Right, Reform says you've all been spending several million pounds on pride flags. Two words: rookie numbers."

Me, hearing a great replacement theory with no Jewish conspiracy: "Oh, huh..." *next sentence* "The real cause of our national unraveling is not immigrants or refugees..." uh huhhhhhhhh... "it's a (((N E W R U L I N G C L A S S)))..." Ah. See? There's your "Jews." Perfectly normal nazi book.

As a total Luddite that turns as much of the AI crap off (that can’t be consciously applied to search, sort or summarize deliberately, on occasion?) that has yet to join the ubiquitous current illiterati, those sentences aren’t unfamiliar, but I now can’t ’unhear’ ‘M-‘ after reading some really dreadful galaxy-brain levels of ‘un-thought’ writing / Burroughs-esque mind-virii? I do like the mad mad mad world ref / that’s a delightful image. We have more $ and waste in America (local city of ~50k people has a city hall (developer weasel playground?), public works office , police station all next to each other that aren’t that old (late 80s) / not totally falling down and they’re asking voters for a 30 year bond / debt financed property tax increase for $150million over 30 years (most boomers are already retired and will be dead before the bond is paid off as population shrinks !) fora shiny new secure building that is all 3 in 1. Ribbon cuttings, shoddy buildings, sick building syndrome & ‘growing cops like tumors’ all resonate. They just keep raising the bar… …$1000/yr in avg home tax assessment increase to better fund the developer weasels and cops to dig your own grave / make quality of life worse to replace a building that isn’t that old / shouldn’t have a leaky roof or shoddy walls if built or managed properly in the 1st place?

I need to see a page of this book, it must look like a MadLibs with all these em dashes

Christ how did we get to the point where this fucking white supremacist is just going to glide into parliament next GE. Like I know how but still

the terrace houses... have become TERRORIST HOUSES

This episode's going in the Eps to Give to People to Explain What This Pod's Whole General Deal Is pile, along with the Equitable Lagoon.

Ee,

Parallel to this here in Germany the AFD is getting closer and closer in the polls to having a chance of an absolute majority in one of the German states

Telling people the country isn't the same one as their grandparents knew when reform voters grandparents would've been alive in the 19th century is hilarious

"[Goodwin] wasn't even born in a fucking Shire, he was born in Hertfordshire" I think I know what Hussein means, but it's still funny to me as an American.

Hussein disappointed England only has low-quality racists anymore.

Andy Twelves is the journo who ripped the book to pieces. Tbh, wanted to name drop because he has a great name.

There's a moment when everything changes...which takes a long time and happens slowly, like most moments, a segment of time generally considered quite long and not of some sort of brief (aka momentary) duration. "That gum you like is coming back into style." - you dropped your fake dog doo-doo.
