Speaker 1 (0:02) Hey Speaker 2 (0:07) everybody, welcome back to the ones ready podcast. You're in the team room. We've got Trenton peaches with you. And this is one of our outside the wire episodes, series of whatever we're doing. Speaker 1 (0:18) Do we have theme music yet for this? Speaker 2 (0:21) No, we're still using the same bumpers, but there we go. Speaker 1 (0:25) Outside the wire with, Oh my God. Peaches and Trent. Speaker 2 (0:29) Yeah. So on the 19th of August, 2026, the British government, and I love railing on the Brits, even though I've got British people in my family. It's Speaker 1 (0:41) a Speaker 2 (0:41) weird way to say that. Railing on the Brits? Yeah, why not? Whatever. Speaker 2 (0:48) So what they did was they dropped a pamphlet and the name of the book is called Understanding Behaviors and Expectations in the United Kingdom. And it is a guide for asylum seekers. That is what it says on the cover. If you don't believe me, go look it up. I have a theory about Speaker 1 (1:08) this. Was this written by the same people that did our red dot green dot training? Speaker 1 (1:14) It's possible. It is very possible. Speaker 2 (1:18) Because some of it is really weird going through it. And some of it's like, wow, we really got to tell people about this? What did Speaker 1 (1:29) you hear your entire career? We wouldn't have to do this if someone hadn't shit their pants once, right? Like now we all got to wear diapers. Yep. Speaker 2 (1:39) So the funny thing about this is that this document is also written in English. Like there's no other languages. Now, maybe you can get other languages, but right now what I'm looking at is English. Table of contents is living in the UK, gender equality, domestic abuse, sex and consent, respect in public, and getting help. Speaker 1 (2:03) Uh-huh. How to be a British citizen in case you come from a savage country. Are we allowed to call you savages? No, you're not. Well, you're not. So, um... Speaker 2 (2:20) How things over here may be different in your home country. That's the sentence that the government is talking about in terms of cultural incompatibility. And they're arriving by dinghies, right? Actually, you know what? I wonder if I can find a picture of these dinghies. They're like 240 people. They are like these long dinghies. And they are essentially an airplane landing multiple times a day, dropping people off. Nice. Yeah, I should have had this pulled up. Speaker 1 (3:01) Dear Britain, how hard is it to stop people from rowing up onto your beach? Speaker 2 (3:07) Well, so. Speaker 2 (3:10) I'm getting off the pamphlet here, but there were, I think, two guys that flew over because essentially these folks are coming over from France, right? And the British government doesn't think that France is doing enough to stop these illegal immigrants from crossing. So these, I think it was two British dudes, went over there into France, hung out on the beach with knives, and were just slicing. the dinghies as they were going along. And of course they got arrested, but, um, I mean, dude, look at the size. Yeah. Speaker 1 (3:50) I mean, it's, Speaker 2 (3:54) it's Speaker 1 (3:55) a Speaker 2 (3:55) mega dinghy. Speaker 1 (3:56) Look at that. Speaker 2 (3:58) 200, see, see 230 people on that. That's an airplane landing. Speaker 1 (4:03) Did they count them and put them in the Guinness book of world records? Cause I said, that's a record. Speaker 2 (4:09) Well, what they did was they had buses waiting for them. And each one of them had essentially a swag bag, welcome bag. Speaker 1 (4:20) It's like what we were doing just a couple years ago. Yep. That had, you Speaker 2 (4:26) know, new clothes, new footwear. I think they had cell phones in there as well. And some gift cards like cash. That's what the British government was doing. Speaker 1 (4:40) That's what the British people were doing because the British government doesn't have any of its own money, by
