Sadly, I think we've brought
Speaker:up a generation of people who
Speaker:don't want to question things, you
Speaker:know, just do what they're told and
Speaker:obey authority.
Speaker:And they've stopped using their own
Speaker:critical thinking skills and stop
Speaker:listening to their gut and their
Speaker:instincts, because I think that's a
Speaker:big thing and I think it's been done
Speaker:deliberately.
Speaker:Hello, everyone.
Speaker:I've got a big smile on my face
Speaker:because I've just finished a really
Speaker:good interview with
Speaker:the Ex-footballer Matt Le Tissier,
Speaker:who has been really amazing,
Speaker:one of the top sports people
Speaker:who has actually been speaking out
Speaker:about what has been going
Speaker:on and most importantly, what we can
Speaker:do about it.
Speaker:We've had a lovely conversation
Speaker:about all things about
Speaker:resilience, about core values,
Speaker:about critical thinking, about
Speaker:having the strength to stand up for
Speaker:your convictions, about not
Speaker:believing everything we're told
Speaker:about how to actually
Speaker:stand up for your beliefs.
Speaker:And I think you're going to really,
Speaker:really enjoy this interview.
Speaker:Now, Matt, he's very big on Twitter.
Speaker:He's got a really great GETTR
Speaker:platform. So please
Speaker:do connect in and support Matt.
Speaker:It's really very important.
Speaker:It does make a difference and every
Speaker:voice matters, I think
Speaker:it's so, so important that we just
Speaker:keep the balance of
Speaker:keep looking at things, keep
Speaker:a critical mind tuned in with our
Speaker:intuition.
Speaker:And most importantly, as
Speaker:Matt will cover in this interview,
Speaker:make sure that we're making the most
Speaker:of each and every moment.
Speaker:Because at the end of the day,
Speaker:that's what's really important.
Speaker:Spend time with loved ones, spend
Speaker:time out in nature, spend time
Speaker:doing what you love, whatever that
Speaker:looks like for you.
Speaker:I really, really enjoyed speaking
Speaker:to Matt, and I think there's some
Speaker:really, really helpful points in
Speaker:there for everyone.
Speaker:Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
Speaker:Right.
Speaker:I am delighted to be
Speaker:here today with the amazing
Speaker:football legend Matt Le Tissier.
Speaker:Now, Matt, I'm just going to tell my
Speaker:audience; for those of you
Speaker:that are not familiar with football,
Speaker:we Brits are obsessed with our
Speaker:football.
Speaker:Matt is UK
Speaker:football legend and in my opinion,
Speaker:even more of a legend now for what
Speaker:we're going to be talking about
Speaker:today.
Speaker:Eight caps for England.
Speaker:First midfielder to reach 100
Speaker:goals in the English Premier League.
Speaker:2020 Voted best Premier
Speaker:League player of all time by
Speaker:Eurosport and until
Speaker:August 2020, a football
Speaker:pundit for soccer Saturday on Sky
Speaker:Sports. We'll talk more about that
Speaker:in a minute. Known to
Speaker:your Southampton fans as Le
Speaker:God.
Speaker:So thank you so much for joining
Speaker:us today. How you doing, Matt?
Speaker:I'm good. Thanks, Catherine.
Speaker:You?
Speaker:Really good, thank you.
Speaker:I was so delighted when you said yes
Speaker:to talking, because all my viewers
Speaker:are really passionate about
Speaker:people that have, quite frankly, got
Speaker:the balls to actually do the right
Speaker:thing, which seems to be quite
Speaker:uncommon in this day and age.
Speaker:So, let's start with that.
Speaker:I mean, obviously, having
Speaker:a football career like yours, that's
Speaker:tough playing in front of all those
Speaker:fans. That can be great
Speaker:when you're doing well,
Speaker:but not when you're not. How do you
Speaker:feel your football career has
Speaker:prepared you for having the
Speaker:guts to speak up?
Speaker:Yeah, I think it was I think it was
Speaker:very good preparation, actually.
Speaker:I think
Speaker:I could probably attribute most
Speaker:of that to my youth team coach
Speaker:in Southampton, a guy called Dave Merrington,
Speaker:who instilled
Speaker:in his in all of his players a
Speaker:mental toughness
Speaker:that was preparing you at 16 years
Speaker:of age, when I joined Southampton,
Speaker:to preparing you
Speaker:to play in the Premier League
Speaker:with seasoned old
Speaker:professionals who are
Speaker:looking to have any kind
Speaker:of advantage over you, intimidate
Speaker:you.
Speaker:And we were prepared mentally
Speaker:for a very young age, and I made my
Speaker:debut before I turned 18,
Speaker:and a lot of that I
Speaker:put down to Dave Merrington, and the
Speaker:training that we were put through
Speaker:and the way that he prepared us
Speaker:mentally was amazing.
Speaker:And so that looking back
Speaker:now, I
Speaker:think was probably one of the most
Speaker:important times of my life
Speaker:and has prepared me brilliantly for
Speaker:what's gone on these last three
Speaker:years.
Speaker:It's so important, isn't it?
Speaker:Because I think personally, that's
Speaker:what I'm saying. I mean, I'm a
Speaker:parent as well, and I'm seeing
Speaker:that unfortunately this
Speaker:politically a white culture is
Speaker:just not giving people the
Speaker:resilience that they need.
Speaker:But we can't blame it all on
Speaker:that because there's a lot of people
Speaker:of, you know, I'm the same age as
Speaker:you, as a lot of people of our age
Speaker:that aren't showing much resilience.
Speaker:Why do you think that is, Matt?
Speaker:What's missing in this, this
Speaker:personality of people around now?
Speaker:Um, I think what's
Speaker:missing is the fact that
Speaker:from a young age, we were never
Speaker:taught to think critically about
Speaker:things. I think the in the education
Speaker:system is an indoctrination system.
Speaker:When I look back now, you
Speaker:are just being prepared
Speaker:to obey authority all times,
Speaker:not questioning, do as you're told
Speaker:and remember things.
Speaker:And that's that.
Speaker:When I look back now, there's
Speaker:so much stuff
Speaker:that I should have been taught in
Speaker:school about real life that you that
Speaker:you're never taught in school.
Speaker:And sadly, I think
Speaker:we've
Speaker:brought up a generation of people
Speaker:who don't want to
Speaker:question things, you know, just do
Speaker:as they're told and obey authority.
Speaker:And they've stopped using their own
Speaker:critical thinking skills.
Speaker:Stop being a sovereign human
Speaker:being, and stop listening to their
Speaker:gut and their instincts,
Speaker:because I think that's a big thing
Speaker:that has been forgotten
Speaker:in our society.
Speaker:And I think it's been done
Speaker:deliberately, quite frankly, after
Speaker:what I've witnessed over the last
Speaker:three years.
Speaker:Yeah. Now, this leads perfectly
Speaker:into I mean...
Speaker:A two part question, Matt.
Speaker:When did you first think this is
Speaker:ridiculous? They're not telling us
Speaker:something. And are you
Speaker:feeling... You've already sort of
Speaker:implied that you are that this is a
Speaker:deliberate agenda.
Speaker:Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's
Speaker:I think there's too much going on,
Speaker:too many coincidences for it not to
Speaker:be deliberate.
Speaker:I think you can you can wilfully
Speaker:stay awake and just brush
Speaker:it off as it's just a
Speaker:it's just a coincidence.
Speaker:You know, these people aren't really
Speaker:evil. They're just they're just not
Speaker:very good at their job.
Speaker:They're a bit thick.
Speaker:Yeah. Um, you know, all that kind
Speaker:of stuff. But there's too many
Speaker:coincidences for it to be not
Speaker:planned and not planned
Speaker:over a long period of time.
Speaker:You know, they've covered a lot of
Speaker:bases with their stuff.
Speaker:So the first time I
Speaker:was really suspicious of it
Speaker:was when I saw those videos
Speaker:come out of China, people dropping
Speaker:down in the street.
Speaker:And I just looked at those videos
Speaker:and I went that's staged.
Speaker:Mhm. That's not, that's not real.
Speaker:And that was the first time I was
Speaker:like that. Something's not quite
Speaker:right. So I'm going to go, I'm only
Speaker:going to have a look.
Speaker:I had a lot spare time on my hands
Speaker:and I decided that I was going to
Speaker:kind of look into it a little bit
Speaker:and what I started seeing I didn't
Speaker:like and I came
Speaker:across some people who
Speaker:seemed appeared to me to be quite
Speaker:knowledgeable about what was coming
Speaker:down the line.
Speaker:And I listened to them.
Speaker:I took it all in and
Speaker:I kept it at the back of my mind and
Speaker:I thought, well, okay, I've
Speaker:I've heard what they've got to say.
Speaker:Let's see how this pans out.
Speaker:And as it started to pan out,
Speaker:all these things that I was being
Speaker:told about mandatory vaccinations,
Speaker:vaccine passports, digital
Speaker:IDs, all that kind of stuff, central
Speaker:bank digital currencies was one that
Speaker:was here at about three years ago.
Speaker:All these things and I thought would
Speaker:just keep it in the back of my mind,
Speaker:see how things pan out.
Speaker:And all of a sudden these things
Speaker:started happening.
Speaker:They started talking about it in the
Speaker:mainstream media and we
Speaker:were kind of being nudged towards
Speaker:it.
Speaker:And so I was like, oh, okay.
Speaker:So they knew what they were talking
Speaker:about. They knew something was going
Speaker:on here. So this is pretty obvious
Speaker:to me that this has been planned.
Speaker:There are people that know about it.
Speaker:There are people who are trying to
Speaker:warn people about it, but they
Speaker:were just getting called conspiracy
Speaker:theorists.
Speaker:And and I'm sorry,
Speaker:but the conspiracy
Speaker:theorists are winning about 90-nil
Speaker:at the moment. If you compare them
Speaker:to the mainstream media and the
Speaker:narratives that they they try
Speaker:throwing at you. So,
Speaker:yeah, I think the term conspiracy
Speaker:theorist now as
Speaker:changed in definition, and it just
Speaker:means somebody who knows what's
Speaker:happening six months before everyone
Speaker:else.
Speaker:So true. And as we know, even
Speaker:the name conspiracy theorist was a
Speaker:CIA, you know, psyop
Speaker:to try and ridicule and
Speaker:shut that conversation down straight
Speaker:away. Now you
Speaker:have...
Speaker:If I'm right, your record
Speaker:was scoring 47 out
Speaker:of 48 penalties.
Speaker:That takes a special type of
Speaker:personality, obviously the skill,
Speaker:but also
Speaker:a real type of personality
Speaker:to actually have that calm composure
Speaker:to do that.
Speaker:How do you think that sort of helps
Speaker:you? Is that an innate personality?
Speaker:Is that something you've learned?
Speaker:Is that something that you've
Speaker:acquired a bit of both?
Speaker:I think that's something in my
Speaker:personality.
Speaker:I think.
Speaker:That whenever people ask
Speaker:me about my penalty record, they
Speaker:say, What was your penalty record so
Speaker:good?
Speaker:And I always attributed it to two
Speaker:things without really
Speaker:giving it too much thought.
Speaker:But the first one, I always said
Speaker:it was nothing to do with my
Speaker:football ability.
Speaker:The first thing that I said
Speaker:when it came to penalty taking is
Speaker:you have to want to be there.
Speaker:You have to embrace the situation.
Speaker:You have to not be intimidated by
Speaker:the situation and you have
Speaker:to look forward to taking penalties.
Speaker:That's the first thing I say when
Speaker:people ask me about my opponent.
Speaker:Then I had good technique.
Speaker:I could hit a ball pretty hard, I
Speaker:could keep it pretty accurate, all
Speaker:that stuff. But all that stuff I
Speaker:think goes out the window if you
Speaker:don't have the right mental approach
Speaker:to it. So yes, I think
Speaker:that in my personalities
Speaker:is something that has definitely
Speaker:helped over the last few years.
Speaker:What I've also found is
Speaker:I took a lot of flak early on for
Speaker:going against the against
Speaker:the mainstream narrative.
Speaker:You know, I was attacked in the
Speaker:media. I was attacked on social
Speaker:media quite viciously
Speaker:at times, but.
Speaker:I knew.
Speaker:I knew something was wrong.
Speaker:I knew this wasn't right.
Speaker:And I stood by.
Speaker:What I've done is I've been
Speaker:consistent over the last few
Speaker:years. I've stopped by what I've
Speaker:said. If I've ever made a mistake,
Speaker:I've been willing to put my hand up
Speaker:and say, Yeah, I got that one wrong,
Speaker:I apologise for that.
Speaker:And I think eventually
Speaker:it is starting to turn around.
Speaker:I've noticed a massive difference in
Speaker:the reaction that I now get on
Speaker:social media from my post,
Speaker:from going, from being 90% negative
Speaker:two and a half years ago to now
Speaker:being probably 95%
Speaker:positive and and agreeing
Speaker:with me. And that's a massive shift
Speaker:to have taken place.
Speaker:And and I believe it's because I've
Speaker:been consistent, I've been calm,
Speaker:I've been rational, and
Speaker:I've tried to back things up with
Speaker:logical explanations.
Speaker:And that's what I've that's why I've
Speaker:stood firm.
Speaker:And because I believe in what I'm
Speaker:saying. And I think as time goes on,
Speaker:I'd like to think that
Speaker:the more the time goes on, the more
Speaker:I've been vindicated in what I was
Speaker:saying two and three years ago.
Speaker:I've often thought about
Speaker:about going back to my computer.
Speaker:I go back to everything that I was
Speaker:tweeting two or three years ago
Speaker:just to look back and see
Speaker:and see the reaction and go back
Speaker:and ask those people.
Speaker:Now, the same question that I was
Speaker:asking maybe three years ago and
Speaker:seeing if their responses would be
Speaker:different.
Speaker:I said very, very good point.
Speaker:And I think you've hit on something
Speaker:really important.
Speaker:I mean, I'm very new to Twitter,
Speaker:but you are very
Speaker:calm in what you said.
Speaker:And also a lot
Speaker:of the people that have been trying
Speaker:to tell people what's happening
Speaker:and show them that there is a
Speaker:different narrative, a controlled
Speaker:narrative going on.
Speaker:It's very hard sometimes,
Speaker:particularly when you've got loved
Speaker:ones not to get very emotional about
Speaker:it, because quite frankly, this
Speaker:can be a life and death decisions,
Speaker:particularly when we're talking
Speaker:about the vaccine.
Speaker:I mean, I'm a biologist and I
Speaker:knew right from the word go that
Speaker:this was really, really dangerous.
Speaker:However, trying to convince loved
Speaker:ones that was virtually impossible.
Speaker:I'm lucky in my immediate family I
Speaker:did, but my extended family, not
Speaker:at all.
Speaker:I'm at that level of resilience.
Speaker:What's really surprised me, Matt,
Speaker:is you are, you
Speaker:know, a very, very top level
Speaker:sports person.
Speaker:So your peers, for
Speaker:me, what I see, I mean, my
Speaker:daughter's a football player.
Speaker:I see the level of discipline
Speaker:and also most top level,
Speaker:by the time they've reached your
Speaker:levels, people are very in tune.
Speaker:You can't get your level without
Speaker:being very in tune with your body,
Speaker:with your health, and really looking
Speaker:after yourself.
Speaker:So why is it
Speaker:that there's so few sports people
Speaker:that have been prepared to speak up
Speaker:about this? Because surely
Speaker:they are some of the ones that
Speaker:should be noticing more
Speaker:than anyone else or really
Speaker:questioning what they put in their
Speaker:body.
Speaker:Yeah, they should be.
Speaker:Novak Djokovic was a magnificent
Speaker:example of that.
Speaker:Somebody who has been a shining
Speaker:light in the way that he's dealt
Speaker:with things, you know, a
Speaker:real big advocate for
Speaker:bodily autonomy.
Speaker:But I think
Speaker:there has been such a massive
Speaker:psychological operation done
Speaker:on the people of this country
Speaker:that that I
Speaker:think common sense and reason has
Speaker:been busted out of
Speaker:people they're frightened.
Speaker:They're scared to speak out because
Speaker:they feel like they might lose their
Speaker:next contract.
Speaker:Yeah, they may lose their job.
Speaker:You know, you almost become a
Speaker:social pariah if you
Speaker:if you speak out against
Speaker:anything that goes against the
Speaker:government narrative.
Speaker:And it's very clever the way they've
Speaker:done it. You know, they've they've
Speaker:planned this out for a long time
Speaker:and they've covered most
Speaker:of the bases.
Speaker:And they have a plan for people like
Speaker:me who
Speaker:want to think differently about
Speaker:things, and they use
Speaker:the media to
Speaker:attack those people, discredit them,
Speaker:call them conspiracy theorists,
Speaker:tinfoil hat wearers,
Speaker:anti-vaxxers,
Speaker:but they never have an argument.
Speaker:They can't debate, you
Speaker:know. So people shout anti-vaxxer
Speaker:or at me or call me an anti-vax on
Speaker:social media.
Speaker:When I point out to them that
Speaker:actually I've had every other
Speaker:vaccine in my life apart from this
Speaker:one.
Speaker:So where...
Speaker:How does that
Speaker:make you an anti-vaxxer?
Speaker:And they have no argument for that.
Speaker:They can't they can't argue.
Speaker:So they just go, oh, you know,
Speaker:you're an anti-vaxxer, I'm not talking
Speaker:to you anymore.
Speaker:They think that by throwing these
Speaker:insults as slurs around, they can
Speaker:end the argument that they could
Speaker:take the moral high ground
Speaker:when unfortunately, what
Speaker:they're doing is just making
Speaker:themselves look not
Speaker:very intelligent, a lack of critical
Speaker:thought.
Speaker:And actually what they think is
Speaker:the moral high ground is actually
Speaker:enabling tyranny.
Speaker:Yeah. And I mean, your dad,
Speaker:you know, what is your main driver
Speaker:for doing this?
Speaker:Because even though you've got a lot
Speaker:of the skills you've developed those
Speaker:over years. Your personality
Speaker:is very resilient, which
Speaker:is something we just do not see of
Speaker:many people.
Speaker:It can still be really hard can't
Speaker:it, when you're having this not just
Speaker:for you, but for your immediate
Speaker:family.
Speaker:So what has been your driver
Speaker:that's given you the strength
Speaker:to actually keep going with all
Speaker:these insults being thrown at you
Speaker:and losing your job?
Speaker:Don't forget, you lost...
Speaker:a
Speaker:really really good job
Speaker:for sticking to your morals.
Speaker:Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker:I think
Speaker:the one thing most people know about
Speaker:me is that, you
Speaker:know, I was never in football
Speaker:because it paid well.
Speaker:I played football because I love the
Speaker:sport.
Speaker:My life has never really been about
Speaker:money.
Speaker:Yes. It's nice to
Speaker:have a nice house and
Speaker:be able to go on nice holidays and
Speaker:all that kind of stuff.
Speaker:But that is not my primary driver
Speaker:in life. My primary driver in life
Speaker:is to be happy.
Speaker:Yeah, I just want to be happy in
Speaker:my life that I want.
Speaker:And I want the same for my children,
Speaker:you know? And so I think that's
Speaker:probably the main driver.
Speaker:I hate unfairness.
Speaker:I really hate, you
Speaker:know, I'm a libran and
Speaker:I need a nice balance in my life
Speaker:and I like to see things being just
Speaker:and fair.
Speaker:And unfortunately, what we've
Speaker:witnessed the last few years is
Speaker:neither been just north to the
Speaker:poorest people in our communities.
Speaker:We've seen the biggest transfer of
Speaker:wealth from the lower middle classes
Speaker:to the upper class,
Speaker:and nobody seems to want to talk
Speaker:about this. It's it's
Speaker:disgusting what's gone on.
Speaker:The mainstream media, I think,
Speaker:is the worst
Speaker:the worst thing about what's
Speaker:happened these last few years,
Speaker:they've enabled everything to be
Speaker:happening. Journalism is is in
Speaker:the gutter.
Speaker:I have lost all respect
Speaker:for institutions
Speaker:that growing up you thought you
Speaker:could trust.
Speaker:So the scientific, the medical,
Speaker:the police, government,
Speaker:all these things, I've just
Speaker:lost complete trust in these
Speaker:institutions. And it's is a really
Speaker:sad place to be in at the moment.
Speaker:And that's why I speak up, because I
Speaker:want the world to be a better place.
Speaker:I love it so, so important.
Speaker:And I think, you know, I
Speaker:know you get a little bit coy when
Speaker:people call you brave and
Speaker:everything, but people in your
Speaker:position that have an established
Speaker:reputation, you know, do
Speaker:have a lot to lose.
Speaker:And this is what for someone in my
Speaker:position that, you know, hasn't got
Speaker:that public profile.
Speaker:It's been so disappointing
Speaker:to see how easily
Speaker:people caved to pressure
Speaker:and that lack of resilience.
Speaker:And I just don't get it.
Speaker:I think I'm quite lucky that I spend
Speaker:my life surrounded by animals.
Speaker:So you have to have that level of
Speaker:intuition when you're living
Speaker:round animals.
Speaker:It's absolutely key.
Speaker:They teach us so much.
Speaker:But what have been some of the
Speaker:biggest surprises to you that you've
Speaker:learned over the last few years?
Speaker:What are some of the real big Oh my
Speaker:God moments?
Speaker:Oh, I think there's so
Speaker:many. I think the first one was kind
Speaker:of realising that
Speaker:all this was being done
Speaker:deliberately.
Speaker:There is a plan behind it
Speaker:and that people can be that evil
Speaker:that I think that was the biggest
Speaker:wow moment to me.
Speaker:And I think that's the biggest thing
Speaker:that a lot of people
Speaker:are not willing to accept.
Speaker:They're not willing to...
Speaker:Because they're good people.
Speaker:They're not willing to accept that
Speaker:other people can be quite evil
Speaker:and those people are in
Speaker:positions of power.
Speaker:Yeah. And they care not a jot
Speaker:about our health and well-being.
Speaker:No, they don't care anything.
Speaker:They care for their own wealth,
Speaker:their own power.
Speaker:And I think
Speaker:it's probably the thing to me
Speaker:was also
Speaker:one of the big moments was when I
Speaker:kind of looked into a little bit the
Speaker:amount of people that are
Speaker:trafficked.
Speaker:Child trafficking, sex trafficking
Speaker:that goes on in the world
Speaker:and doesn't...
Speaker:Barely gets a mention in the
Speaker:mainstream media.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:And obviously, they are completely
Speaker:complicit in this.
Speaker:You know, we know what the BBC did
Speaker:with protecting Jemmy Savile.
Speaker:Mhm.
Speaker:And these organisations haven't
Speaker:changed.
Speaker:They're still protecting paedophiles
Speaker:and they don't,
Speaker:they don't go out of their way to
Speaker:investigate anything that
Speaker:might compromise themselves.
Speaker:And so for me, journalism in this
Speaker:country is dead, mainstream
Speaker:media, journalism is dead.
Speaker:And if I could give somebody
Speaker:one bit of advice going forward in
Speaker:your life is to is to put more trust
Speaker:in individual
Speaker:journalists, you know,
Speaker:freelance journalist who are doing
Speaker:this.
Speaker:So from the goodness of their heart,
Speaker:not being given a paycheque
Speaker:by corrupt corporations.
Speaker:Yeah. And you know, as a scientist
Speaker:myself, I've just been absolutely
Speaker:disgusted. I mean, I've been into
Speaker:natural health for a long while, and
Speaker:the corruption there has just been
Speaker:going on for as long as I can
Speaker:remember. You know, you can't tell
Speaker:people about any natural remedies
Speaker:deliberately. They take you down,
Speaker:make it very difficult.
Speaker:And now we know that all the most
Speaker:virtually all the scientific
Speaker:research is paid for by the
Speaker:people that have got
Speaker:a very nefarious agenda behind
Speaker:them.
Speaker:I think one of the biggest things
Speaker:up, one of the biggest wow moments
Speaker:for me when was when I looked into
Speaker:a little bit the history of
Speaker:vaccinations now and
Speaker:they claimed all these claims
Speaker:that we eradicated
Speaker:smallpox and polio and all that
Speaker:because the vaccines, when you
Speaker:actually look back at it
Speaker:and when you look at when
Speaker:vaccinations were introduced,
Speaker:actually those incidences of those
Speaker:diseases and actually come
Speaker:down like 90%, 95%
Speaker:already because of clean
Speaker:water and better living standards.
Speaker:And the vaccinations
Speaker:only came in right at the very end
Speaker:of that. Yet they're trying to claim
Speaker:that they were the thing that
Speaker:eradicated these diseases.
Speaker:Yet it doesn't, it doesn't
Speaker:stack up. The evidence doesn't stack
Speaker:up.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:And also, I mean, without going too
Speaker:off target, when you look at what's
Speaker:been done in Africa with the
Speaker:spread of polio by supposedly
Speaker:polio vaccines, by
Speaker:sterilising people,
Speaker:by other vaccines, it's just
Speaker:a hideous thing.
Speaker:And I really encourage people to
Speaker:start looking into it because, you
Speaker:know, as a parent and whether
Speaker:it's an animal, you've got, you
Speaker:know, the same thing.
Speaker:I work in holistic health with
Speaker:animals and, you know, the same
Speaker:thing is being done to our animals,
Speaker:which is why their lifespan is so
Speaker:much shorter now. One of the many
Speaker:reasons.
Speaker:So let's talk about your belief
Speaker:systems. So
Speaker:going back to,
Speaker:you know, your belief systems before
Speaker:and where they are now, have they
Speaker:shifted and are you looking at the
Speaker:world of spirituality, whatever you
Speaker:might want to call it, in a very
Speaker:different way now?
Speaker:Yeah, very much so.
Speaker:I've kind of been pretty
Speaker:ambivalent to it all throughout my
Speaker:life.
Speaker:You know, the spirituality side
Speaker:of things and religion.
Speaker:I kind of just got along with my
Speaker:life. I hadn't really given it too
Speaker:much thought, to be honest.
Speaker:You know, I go to weddings and I go
Speaker:to christenings and,
Speaker:you know, I occasionally
Speaker:go to midnight mass at Christmas,
Speaker:but I never really gave it
Speaker:too much thought.
Speaker:And over the last
Speaker:two or three years, it's
Speaker:something that has entered my psyche
Speaker:a lot more. And I really do believe
Speaker:we are in a fight of good against
Speaker:evil.
Speaker:And I and I do believe that
Speaker:we are both spiritual
Speaker:beings and believing
Speaker:the the energies and frequencies
Speaker:on the planet are incredibly
Speaker:important.
Speaker:And yeah, I've started to have a
Speaker:little bit of an awakening on that
Speaker:front as well.
Speaker:Yeah, I think it happens to all
Speaker:of us. You know, when you start
Speaker:looking into things, it's, you know,
Speaker:is when does this when you change
Speaker:the way you look at things, the
Speaker:things you look at change.
Speaker:And I think the one thing that's
Speaker:been very clear at
Speaker:whatever is whether it's the
Speaker:COVID pandemic, whether it's 9/11,
Speaker:whatever it is that started to make
Speaker:me look at the world differently.
Speaker:Once you start looking differently
Speaker:than all the bits of the jigsaw
Speaker:puzzle start falling into place,
Speaker:don't they.
Speaker:Yeah, definitely found that.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:Um.
Speaker:In terms of...
Speaker:You know, you're still really
Speaker:looked up to by so many people
Speaker:so if you were to give...
Speaker:You've already given some advice to
Speaker:people about moving forward.
Speaker:But my feeling, I don't know how
Speaker:you're feeling about it, but we need
Speaker:to be doing a lot more
Speaker:very quickly because we're starting
Speaker:to see the 15 minute cities coming
Speaker:in.
Speaker:I don't know if you remember at the
Speaker:beginning of the
Speaker:lockdowns, they were able to fill
Speaker:shortages and look how quickly
Speaker:that grounded everyone straight
Speaker:away. So it's pretty obvious that
Speaker:the evil geniuses
Speaker:who are pulling the purse strings
Speaker:or controlling a lot of this have
Speaker:still got a lot of power in
Speaker:their hands to make things very
Speaker:difficult for the normal
Speaker:normies, as we call us.
Speaker:You know, what would be some of your
Speaker:main areas of advice that you've
Speaker:been saying to people you've been
Speaker:involved in some of the protests?
Speaker:What would you hope people are going
Speaker:to start doing now?
Speaker:Yeah, I think the protests are
Speaker:pretty important.
Speaker:So I think if you can get behind
Speaker:them whenever you can, because the
Speaker:one thing I've kind of realised
Speaker:is that
Speaker:the people in charge,
Speaker:the evil ones,
Speaker:I think what I've realised is that
Speaker:they actually need our
Speaker:consent to do most of this stuff
Speaker:and they're very clever at getting
Speaker:that by coercing and
Speaker:manipulating things to make you
Speaker:think in a certain way.
Speaker:So the one thing you can do
Speaker:and everybody kind of says,
Speaker:"Oh, what can I do? I'm just one
Speaker:person".
Speaker:But if but if one person
Speaker:does something small
Speaker:and every single person does
Speaker:something small, you'd be amazed
Speaker:how quickly that turns into
Speaker:something very big.
Speaker:So I would suggest
Speaker:boycott any companies that don't
Speaker:take cash.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:First of all, I think that's a
Speaker:massive one to just cash
Speaker:is freedom.
Speaker:Secondly, if if
Speaker:somebody tries to impose a rule on
Speaker:you and it doesn't make sense to
Speaker:you. Don't go along with it.
Speaker:Don't just do it for a quiet life.
Speaker:If it makes no sense.
Speaker:Don't do it. Do not comply
Speaker:to stupid legislation,
Speaker:which is what I've done.
Speaker:I never wore a mask
Speaker:for the whole time
Speaker:and just go about your
Speaker:life in in high...
Speaker:what I call high
Speaker:vibration. So go about your life
Speaker:with a smile on your face,
Speaker:you know, let everybody see
Speaker:how you want to live your life and
Speaker:people will react to that.
Speaker:You know, so when I was
Speaker:going into shops in the
Speaker:in the height of the mask madness,
Speaker:everybody had a mask on in the shop.
Speaker:And I would walk in with no mask on
Speaker:and I would make sure I had the
Speaker:biggest smile on my face, I would
Speaker:say hello to everybody.
Speaker:I would be so nice to people
Speaker:in that shop and let them see just
Speaker:how good a life I'm having
Speaker:without my mask on.
Speaker:And I believe that
Speaker:that makes a difference to people I
Speaker:think that can make a difference to
Speaker:people in that way.
Speaker:So I
Speaker:think mass non-compliance,
Speaker:peaceful, but
Speaker:just don't don't adhere
Speaker:to stupid, stupid rules
Speaker:and your little bit of what
Speaker:you do.
Speaker:You know, go into your local
Speaker:greengrocer instead of going to a
Speaker:supermarket,
Speaker:buy local and try to support
Speaker:all the local little businesses and
Speaker:stop giving your money to the global
Speaker:corporations.
Speaker:And so I think
Speaker:there's a lot of little things like
Speaker:that that you can do, which you
Speaker:might not think makes
Speaker:a lot of difference. But I think we
Speaker:have made a huge difference.
Speaker:If you look at how we are as a
Speaker:country.
Speaker:Look at places like Canada,
Speaker:Australia and
Speaker:America, which you've still got to
Speaker:be vaccinated to get into America
Speaker:as a non-American at the moment.
Speaker:So, you know, we've
Speaker:come I think we fought a
Speaker:lot of battles and we've had some
Speaker:big victories.
Speaker:I believe
Speaker:the fight is nowhere near over.
Speaker:And I agree with you there.
Speaker:But I believe that the people
Speaker:on our side of the fight have
Speaker:a will about them, that
Speaker:they will not give in and we will
Speaker:not give in. And it will take it
Speaker:might take another few years.
Speaker:But I'm in this fight for the long
Speaker:run and I will do everything to
Speaker:stop those stupid 15
Speaker:minute cities and all the nonsense
Speaker:that is coming in with the net zero
Speaker:climate change nonsense, which
Speaker:funnily enough, that also happens to
Speaker:enrich the same people that have
Speaker:been enriched by the Covid stuff.
Speaker:So I will just keep encouraging
Speaker:people to think, keep
Speaker:encouraging people to
Speaker:look at the facts that are
Speaker:developing. Look at the way this is
Speaker:developing and look at what the
Speaker:conspiracy theorist was saying two
Speaker:or three years ago and ask yourself,
Speaker:were they right?
Speaker:I absolutely love it.
Speaker:And it's so important what you said
Speaker:there about, because a
Speaker:lot of people that I know of
Speaker:and I've been there at times as
Speaker:well, the more you find out this is
Speaker:so horrendous, what you
Speaker:do find out. I mean, going back to
Speaker:what you said about the child
Speaker:trafficking and the censorship.
Speaker:Now, before I started speaking
Speaker:out about all this a few years ago,
Speaker:I thought, wow, I believed
Speaker:the story, that it must be very
Speaker:difficult for them to catch
Speaker:paedophiles online.
Speaker:Because I thought, how do you do it?
Speaker:Then I started a YouTube channel
Speaker:and I got deleted overnight with
Speaker:God knows how many subscribers,
Speaker:because if I say one word
Speaker:like vaccine or anything like that,
Speaker:they can find you and delete you
Speaker:straight away. So then I realised
Speaker:that was a complete lie.
Speaker:Of course they've been able to stop
Speaker:this going on. They've chosen not
Speaker:to.
Speaker:But what you said about still
Speaker:living your life, so when you find
Speaker:out this stuff it's so important,
Speaker:isn't it, not to go into a spiral of
Speaker:depression and make the most of the
Speaker:time we've got in these bodies,
Speaker:particularly since you're Matt Le
Speaker:Tissier?
Speaker:Yes.
Speaker:It's a pretty good body
Speaker:to have chosen.
Speaker:Yeah.
Speaker:I think I think you're absolutely
Speaker:right. I think there was maybe
Speaker:a time in 2020
Speaker:where I was kind of got
Speaker:pretty obsessed with with
Speaker:researching and looking and
Speaker:wondering what was going on.
Speaker:And I probably at that point
Speaker:neglected my family a little bit.
Speaker:And so I had to
Speaker:kind of just reel back a
Speaker:little bit and make sure that I got
Speaker:my priorities right and make sure
Speaker:that I had a good balance in my life
Speaker:again.
Speaker:And that's so that's what I did.
Speaker:So, yes, it's not to get obsessed
Speaker:about it
Speaker:because that can be unhealthy.
Speaker:But yeah, you still got your life to
Speaker:live. You've got your family to look
Speaker:after.
Speaker:Don't let personal relationships
Speaker:go. You know, I've I've managed
Speaker:to get through all of this despite
Speaker:having a lot of
Speaker:what's been said
Speaker:was a controversial opinion
Speaker:on things.
Speaker:But I've got through this last three
Speaker:years without losing
Speaker:any of my family, without
Speaker:losing any of my friends, because we
Speaker:disagreed on on our
Speaker:opinions on COVID.
Speaker:So
Speaker:it's important in life to be able to
Speaker:disagree on things and not fall out
Speaker:about it.
Speaker:And that's it. So I've been very
Speaker:diplomatic in how far
Speaker:I've gone in conversations
Speaker:with family and friends,
Speaker:and I believe that's helped because
Speaker:it kept the channels open.
Speaker:And it's also meant that now,
Speaker:you know, I've had family and
Speaker:friends come up to me
Speaker:and actually come to me and
Speaker:apologise and said, Blimey, we're
Speaker:sorry. We thought you were a little
Speaker:bit mad a couple of years ago.
Speaker:But actually
Speaker:I think you were right, you know,
Speaker:and, and the thing at
Speaker:that point that you have to, you
Speaker:have to really fight the urge to do
Speaker:is, is you still got to
Speaker:be humble about it and don't you do
Speaker:not do the "well I told you" and
Speaker:you know I hate being that person
Speaker:says I told you so.
Speaker:I don't want to be that person.
Speaker:I don't even want to be right.
Speaker:I'd much rather be wrong about all
Speaker:this stuff.
Speaker:I would much rather be wrong
Speaker:than have what is happening going on
Speaker:now. So
Speaker:just just be careful with the
Speaker:conversations that you have with
Speaker:people. Don't fall out with your
Speaker:loved ones. Don't fall out with your
Speaker:best friends over it.
Speaker:It's
Speaker:important to keep those
Speaker:communication channels open for
Speaker:as and when these people do
Speaker:see the light.
Speaker:Yeah, I completely agree with you
Speaker:because if not, then, you know the
Speaker:great thing is, is there are so many
Speaker:solutions, you know, for people that
Speaker:have got vaccine damage and things,
Speaker:there's massive solutions out there
Speaker:right there, right now.
Speaker:But it's being made very hard
Speaker:for them to access those because, of
Speaker:course, we're not allowed to talk
Speaker:about them. And it's a little
Speaker:bit like an echo chamber because
Speaker:like today I can't put this full
Speaker:interview on YouTube.
Speaker:And so therefore, the people, you
Speaker:know, most normal people don't know
Speaker:Rumble exists, for example.
Speaker:But keeping the channels open
Speaker:is is so, so important.
Speaker:I mean, loyalty has always
Speaker:been one of your strong points.
Speaker:So throughout your football career,
Speaker:you stayed loyal, you stayed at
Speaker:Southampton, you got a little
Speaker:bit of stick on that.
Speaker:It's such a core value that we
Speaker:really need now, isn't it?
Speaker:Yeah, yeah,
Speaker:I do. It's quite funny that,
Speaker:you know, something that is
Speaker:a virtuous thing to have
Speaker:was actually something that I was
Speaker:criticised for,
Speaker:which I found a little bit odd, you
Speaker:know, that you had
Speaker:no ambition.
Speaker:Well, what I tell them that I was
Speaker:a little kid in Guernsey.
Speaker:I grew up on a tiny channel island
Speaker:three miles wide, nine miles long,
Speaker:and nobody from my island
Speaker:had ever represented England
Speaker:at football before, ever.
Speaker:Now, I grew up as a little kid
Speaker:and my ambition was to be a
Speaker:professional footballer and my
Speaker:ambition was to play for England.
Speaker:Nobody had ever done that from the
Speaker:island where I came from, and
Speaker:I did that and I achieved that.
Speaker:So for people to just sit there and
Speaker:go, Oh, you had no ambition.
Speaker:Go and tell that to a ten year old,
Speaker:Matt Le Tissier, who wanted to be a
Speaker:professional footballer and play for
Speaker:England, telling him he had no
Speaker:ambition.
Speaker:And so these people
Speaker:that have mostly thrown that
Speaker:accusation at me
Speaker:have achieved
Speaker:a fraction of what I've achieved in
Speaker:my life. And yet they sit there and
Speaker:want to go, "Oh, you had no
Speaker:ambition".
Speaker:While writing for the Daily
Speaker:Echo newspaper in Southampton.
Speaker:I would never dream of going to a
Speaker:Daily Echo reporer and go
Speaker:"you've got no ambition, you're not
Speaker:working for the Times or the
Speaker:Telegraph" or whatever.
Speaker:I would never, ever dream of doing
Speaker:that. And yet these people think
Speaker:they can sit there and go, "Oh,
Speaker:you've got no ambition".
Speaker:Whilst in in that kind
Speaker:of job. So it's,
Speaker:it's not something that I
Speaker:kind of put
Speaker:too much credence in, to
Speaker:be honest. I think
Speaker:I'm very happy
Speaker:with the way that my life panned out
Speaker:with the way I chose to live my
Speaker:life.
Speaker:That's not to say I haven't made
Speaker:mistakes. I've made mistakes.
Speaker:I've put my hand up when I was when
Speaker:I've made those mistakes and happy
Speaker:to acknowledge that.
Speaker:That sometimes gets you in trouble
Speaker:as well.
Speaker:Because, you know, when
Speaker:you when you hold your hand up in
Speaker:the knowledge that in
Speaker:this society today,
Speaker:actually apologising gets you
Speaker:nowhere because the woke mob
Speaker:will come for you.
Speaker:And you saw what happened when
Speaker:Jeremy Clarkson apologised.
Speaker:An apology is never
Speaker:enough for these nutters on the
Speaker:other side of the argument.
Speaker:And it's always more about them,
Speaker:isn't it? That's the trouble.
Speaker:But it doesn't make it any easier at
Speaker:the time. And I think
Speaker:when I look at where we are and I'd
Speaker:love your opinion on it, the whole
Speaker:point is you can't solve
Speaker:a problem from the same reality it
Speaker:was created.
Speaker:So you can't solve lies with lies.
Speaker:And this ability
Speaker:that you've got to actually,
Speaker:one, be very composed
Speaker:in the way you put things across,
Speaker:which is something I've still got
Speaker:some learning to do. I
Speaker:tend to be a little bit more
Speaker:emotional about things, but I'm
Speaker:learning. I'm learning.
Speaker:But also secondly, we've got to be
Speaker:able to say when we're wrong because
Speaker:new evidence is always coming out.
Speaker:You know, no one knows everything,
Speaker:but with
Speaker:this in mind it's so, so important.
Speaker:But leading by example,
Speaker:like you all with with truth,
Speaker:your truth, your truth, and
Speaker:constantly re-examining that because
Speaker:otherwise, surely we're just as bad
Speaker:as the evil bastards
Speaker:that are controlling us.
Speaker:This. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker:No, no, you you have to keep an open
Speaker:mind. You have to be humble enough
Speaker:to say when you've got something
Speaker:wrong.
Speaker:And I think that's incredibly
Speaker:important.
Speaker:And going forward
Speaker:it's...
Speaker:It's difficult because people kind
Speaker:of lose hope a little bit sometimes,
Speaker:but you shouldn't lose hope.
Speaker:You should keep an eye on the bigger
Speaker:picture and realise that actually,
Speaker:I think we foiled
Speaker:a lot of what their plans were.
Speaker:You know, when you look back two
Speaker:or three years ago, you were talking
Speaker:about people like Nicola
Speaker:Sturgeon saying, oh, you know,
Speaker:Anthony Fauci saying,
Speaker:oh, you know, "we'll never go back
Speaker:to the old world.
Speaker:We'll never go back to shaking hands
Speaker:again. You know, people will never
Speaker:shake hands again".
Speaker:All that kind of stuff and nonsense,
Speaker:as you think...
Speaker:actually, most people
Speaker:are now, in
Speaker:this country, pretty much going back
Speaker:to normal.
Speaker:You know, I see people I see
Speaker:people shaking hands.
Speaker:I see people hugging each other.
Speaker:And I think we are winning this
Speaker:fight. And I think it's just a
Speaker:matter of time before we before we
Speaker:have complete victory.
Speaker:But I think we are on the way.
Speaker:So don't give up and
Speaker:keep being positive about it.
Speaker:Yeah, absolutely.
Speaker:Do you think, being really honest,
Speaker:with what you know now and
Speaker:continuing to find out, do you think
Speaker:as a species, as humans did
Speaker:need some sort of reset,
Speaker:not their reset, but do you think we
Speaker:were on such a trajectory
Speaker:of going off track that we needed
Speaker:something to stop us in our tracks
Speaker:and make us get back to some core
Speaker:values?
Speaker:Yeah, I do.
Speaker:I think there was there was
Speaker:definitely
Speaker:a need for an awakening.
Speaker:I think we've gotten away from
Speaker:a lot of the core values of our
Speaker:society, which is, you know,
Speaker:kept us moving forward.
Speaker:And I think we've gone away
Speaker:from those. And we've allowed...
Speaker:Because we've been and I think it's
Speaker:because we've been so tolerant
Speaker:that we've allowed
Speaker:the lunatics to take over the asylum
Speaker:because we've all been too kind of
Speaker:we didn't want to upset people.
Speaker:But actually, sometimes in life you
Speaker:do have to upset people and you have
Speaker:to stand up for what you believe in.
Speaker:And I think it's time.
Speaker:And I think you're right.
Speaker:I think this is an awakening and
Speaker:people to to stand up and be strong
Speaker:and go, "no, we're not putting up
Speaker:with that nonsense".
Speaker:You know, you've got you've got your
Speaker:your little way down the line.
Speaker:I mean,
Speaker:it started for me.
Speaker:It started with, you know, kind of
Speaker:people pushing for gay marriages and
Speaker:all that kind of stuff.
Speaker:And then the transgender stuff,
Speaker:you know, they're pushing on people
Speaker:and they basically bullying
Speaker:you into accepting that that's
Speaker:normal. And that's, you know, that's
Speaker:okay. And that's.
Speaker:Now what's to say
Speaker:that the next step along that route
Speaker:isn't for them to go?
Speaker:Yeah, paedophilia is actually
Speaker:normal. You know, having sex with
Speaker:children, that's normal.
Speaker:But they are in a lot of countries aren't they.
Speaker:That's Yeah, that's what they're
Speaker:trying to do. That's down the line.
Speaker:At some point you have to put
Speaker:your foot on the floor and
Speaker:just go, No,
Speaker:that's not normal and I'm not having
Speaker:that anymore. That is taking
Speaker:our society down a route which
Speaker:is evil and
Speaker:I believe is probably
Speaker:a little bit satanic.
Speaker:And I don't...
Speaker:I think it's time for us
Speaker:to stand up and go
Speaker:back to being spiritual
Speaker:beings and
Speaker:believing and trusting in our gut
Speaker:instincts.
Speaker:Here. Here.
Speaker:So if I ask you to say
Speaker:right, what are some of the key
Speaker:things you're hoping to see over the
Speaker:next year or so?
Speaker:What would you say?
Speaker:I would say
Speaker:what I would like to see is
Speaker:obviously people who have committed
Speaker:crimes against humanity arrested.
Speaker:That would be a big step down the
Speaker:road.
Speaker:We started to get some victories in
Speaker:the courts.
Speaker:Peter McCullagh I think the big
Speaker:victory this week
Speaker:where his medical council were
Speaker:trying to strike him off and
Speaker:we've seen last
Speaker:night I think it was the COVID
Speaker:vaccine, COVID 19
Speaker:vaccine mandates in California for
Speaker:schoolchildren to go to school have
Speaker:been rescinded or will be rescinded
Speaker:at the end of this month.
Speaker:So we keep seeing little
Speaker:victories like that.
Speaker:And we keep we have to keep pushing
Speaker:because I think we'll see more and
Speaker:more of those victories as more and
Speaker:more people see the
Speaker:commonsense.
Speaker:And the more you stand up to this
Speaker:nonsense that's going on, the more
Speaker:chance we have of doing it quicker,
Speaker:I believe we'll win this.
Speaker:I believe we'll win this because I
Speaker:think there are way more good people
Speaker:on this planet than there are evil.
Speaker:And I think eventually those good
Speaker:people will stand up.
Speaker:And I just believe we're going to
Speaker:win this. It just it's just a matter
Speaker:of time as to how quickly we
Speaker:do it.
Speaker:Yeah, I'm 100% with you.
Speaker:And I think, you know, there's
Speaker:nothing more important that for
Speaker:people to be doing with their time
Speaker:now. I think it's
Speaker:been very interesting to see how
Speaker:when you're caught in that trap of
Speaker:it's not even 9 to 5, you know, it's
Speaker:much longer hours and just literally
Speaker:caught in that hamster wheel of life
Speaker:trying to pay the bills from one
Speaker:week to another. It's very difficult
Speaker:for people to have time to look into
Speaker:all of this. And for me,
Speaker:that's where compassion is needed
Speaker:and making sure that those of us
Speaker:that have got the time to did the
Speaker:research are strong enough to
Speaker:actually share it so that
Speaker:even when people want it.
Speaker:Absolutely.
Speaker:I couldn't agree more.
Speaker:Yeah. So you personally then,
Speaker:just to finish off you
Speaker:personally, a lot of the ancient
Speaker:traditions, the Toltec traditions,
Speaker:say that, you know, all human lives
Speaker:are a tapestry, they're a work of
Speaker:art.
Speaker:Your picture is already pretty
Speaker:full with all you've achieved so
Speaker:far. What else are you looking
Speaker:to achieve personally in your life?
Speaker:That's a good question.
Speaker:I think I've been striving
Speaker:ever since I finished playing
Speaker:football to make myself
Speaker:a scratch handicapper at golf,
Speaker:and I'm pretty close to that at the
Speaker:moment. So that's
Speaker:kind of my immediate sporting
Speaker:aim. In terms of
Speaker:life, I just want to see
Speaker:my children grow up happy
Speaker:and make sure that they're
Speaker:they're all okay in life,
Speaker:you know, try and try and
Speaker:have as normal life as possible,
Speaker:you know, spend good quality time
Speaker:with my family.
Speaker:And, you know, my parents are
Speaker:approaching their eighties,
Speaker:you know, and I just want them
Speaker:to stick around a long time
Speaker:so I can I could still spend a lot
Speaker:of time with them.
Speaker:Love my mum to bits.
Speaker:They were a massive influence
Speaker:on my early life
Speaker:and they're still my heroes to this
Speaker:day. So yeah, I just want to
Speaker:be able to spend more time with
Speaker:them.
Speaker:Yeah, Unfortunately my dad...
Speaker:I'll probably cry now!
Speaker:Died in 2020, but he was a massive
Speaker:fan of yours.
Speaker:He'll be watching.
Speaker:Oh, bless.
Speaker:He'll be sending messages
Speaker:down from heaven saying, "Why didn't
Speaker:you ask him this?" So
Speaker:don't worry, Dad, I'll do that next time.
Speaker:So I just want to thank you so
Speaker:much for your time today.
Speaker:And I just want to thank you
Speaker:so much because I, you know,
Speaker:sometimes I wonder how much
Speaker:you realise how important
Speaker:the role you're playing is,
Speaker:because it's the people with
Speaker:a high profile.
Speaker:That's the society we live in,
Speaker:that whether you know your
Speaker:getting state fair or not, you are
Speaker:the ones making a difference.
Speaker:So please take all our
Speaker:thanks from us and the listeners
Speaker:I've really enjoyed talking to you
Speaker:today. Anything else?
Speaker:Any other messages you want to leave
Speaker:people with?
Speaker:I think
Speaker:it's important to realise
Speaker:that real life
Speaker:experiences are way better than
Speaker:social media stuff, so I would urge
Speaker:people not to take too much
Speaker:notice of social media.
Speaker:If I tell you...
Speaker:In the last three years,
Speaker:given that I've been fairly
Speaker:controversial, apparently, according
Speaker:to the newspapers,
Speaker:I can tell you in real life when I
Speaker:meet people face to face, I've had
Speaker:one person
Speaker:who was brave enough to shout
Speaker:something at me, call me an
Speaker:anti-vaxxer in public,
Speaker:and it was at Cheltenham Racecourse.
Speaker:I think he was a bit drunk
Speaker:and but from about ten yards
Speaker:away, you know, he was it was brave
Speaker:enough to come and say it to my face
Speaker:from about ten yards. But he shouted
Speaker:"Oh it's that anti-vaxxer".
Speaker:And, and so that
Speaker:was one person, that's the only
Speaker:person in public
Speaker:that I have had do that to me.
Speaker:I can tell you with
Speaker:my hand on my heart, I have had
Speaker:hundreds upon hundreds of
Speaker:people come up to me in
Speaker:the street, complete strangers
Speaker:and shake my hand and thank me for
Speaker:what I've been doing.
Speaker:So the ratio
Speaker:of the people in real life that
