The Dozen with Liam Tuffs

UK's Survival Depends On THIS

23 Apr 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 19.842 Bob of Speakers' Corner

There is no such thing as a nine-year-old woman. The Quran permits you. It says in black and white that you can marry prepubescent children. The idea that it was different back then is nonsense because according to Sharia law, according to all the madhabs, you can still marry children today. And he was wise enough to tell us not to eat bacon sandwiches, but not to shag little children.

20.083 - 37.142 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Over 9,000 crimes in a two-year period against Christian churches. Over 1,000 of them were acts of violence. There's been murder attempts of Christians at Speaker's Corner. Churches that have been there for centuries suddenly catching fire. We're in a very crucial stage in history for the fate and future of this country.

Whilst working with Change, I've seen life changing money be made and community members free up more time to spend with their families. A successful business is not built overnight and you would need to put in the work before reaping the rewards. The more you put in, the more you get out. The community are full of like-minded people, all striving for success and all willing to help each other.

Happy St George's Day. Happy St George's Day. How are you? I'm good.

95.028 - 99.936 Liam Tuffs

Well, let's start with the real story of St George. Jumping in, right? Straight in.

100.056 - 135.871 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Fine, yes. So St George, he was born in occupied, what is now occupied East Turkey or Cappadocia, born to a Roman family. His father was a Roman soldier who became a Christian and was then martyred for the faith. His mother then took him back to Lida or Diaspolis, which is in what we now call Palestine or Israel, you know, near Beirut. Well, maybe that's even Lebanon, actually.

136.892 - 168.683 Bob of Speakers' Corner

But he was raised by his mother to be a Christian. He was a very pious Christian. And then as he grew up, he decided to join the Roman army himself. And he excelled. He was a A courageous soldier, a talented soldier, and a proven soldier. And he rose quickly through the ranks, became a tribune in the Roman army, in the Roman legions. And...

168.663 - 193.745 Bob of Speakers' Corner

And this is all around, he was born around 280 AD, and his life goes into the early 300s. And in 303 AD, Diocletian the Oppressor, launched a major persecution against the Christian church. He was a pagan himself. This was before the conversion of the Roman Empire. And this was the last great persecution of the Christian church.

Chapter 2: What is the true story of St George and why is it significant?

444.581 - 481.343 Bob of Speakers' Corner

George, which became linked to St. George during the time of the Crusades, when he made St. George the patron saint of the chivalric order of the garter, which is the highest and one of the oldest chivalric orders in the U.K., That is how the English flag of St. George became the English flag of St. George. And he embolizes our relationship as Christians

0

481.323 - 498.859 Bob of Speakers' Corner

as a Christian people to the church, to the greater confederacy of the universal church around the world, and also of our own Christian character and a Christian nation and a rallying point for English patriotism.

0

498.923 - 513.917 Liam Tuffs

And so, irrespective of whether you're religious or not, because we know there's a lot of people that aren't Christian, but this is a Christian country, and as you know, I'm all for Christianity steering the ship. As far as faiths are concerned, that has to be top tier.

0

514.718 - 532.343 Liam Tuffs

And there's so much division, certainly amongst the right-hand side of politics, which we're going to segue into that now, because I can't wait to pick your brain on that. But if for nothing else... this has got to be a great day and an opportunity to grab with both hands to unite something we're lacking.

0

532.363 - 555.3 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Amen. Very true. And I think, I think these emblems of England, which are, when you go down through it, when you look at all the emblems of England, like the shivel recorders, like the, you know, the, the, the Order of the Royal Garter, the Order of Bath, as well as the English flag, which is the Cross of St. George, Westminster Abbey, which is connected to Edward Confessor.

555.701 - 582.728 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Everything about all the totems of what it is to be an English nation are wrapped and clothed in Christianity. They are voiced in Christian grammar. And so for us, if we're going to find a unity, as being English, then it has to be a unity of being Christian, you know, and of applauding, lauding, upholding, and reviving our Christian culture.

582.792 - 588.986 Bob of Speakers' Corner

You know, and so people can honour this day by just literally toasting St. George.

589.507 - 590.088 Liam Tuffs

Celebrate it.

590.108 - 603.737 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Yeah, celebrate the life of St. George because St. George is, and we might get onto this a bit later because you've said so, but, you know, the saints are meant to be lessons to us, right? And St. George is meant to be a lesson to us.

Chapter 3: How does St George symbolize courage and Christian values?

1799.767 - 1823.459 Bob of Speakers' Corner

on the day of her marriage. Now, according to Islamic law, according to Sharia law, if you're playing with toys, you're still a child. You're not mature enough, right? But she was still playing with dolls when she got married. And so, you know, it is a really poor argument, an incredibly poor argument.

0

1823.539 - 1845.834 Bob of Speakers' Corner

And the thing is, and this is one of the differences between Christianity and Islam, is that Christianity allows us to incorporate new knowledge and to develop our understanding of things. So we've developed an understanding of childhood development. And that's why Christian countries have increased the age of consent. because we can learn, we believe in learning, right?

0

1846.195 - 1867.01 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Whereas Islam is fixed to the prototype of Muhammad. And so if Muhammad did something, unless he expressly prohibits it for you, like for instance, Muhammad had 11 wives, but then prohibited every other Muslim to only having four wives, which is kind of good for him, isn't it? You know, a bit like a Joseph Smith move, founder of Mormonism.

0

1868.953 - 1884.587 Bob of Speakers' Corner

But if Muhammad did it and he didn't prohibit it for you, then you can do it. It doesn't mean you have to do it, but it means you can do it, which means that there isn't a Muslim reason to say you can't have sex with a nine-year-old child if she's got precocious puberty. Right?

0

1885.328 - 1906.87 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Now, the thing is, if you study childhood development, we now know that adulthood kind of emerges between sort of 18 and 24. That's why everybody feels like they're 20-year-old their entire life, is because the brain finally stops developing around 24 years old, sometimes a bit earlier, sometimes a bit later.

1907.191 - 1930.466 Bob of Speakers' Corner

And that's why everybody feels in their heads that they're still 20, even though everything about their body is telling them that they're not. Right? So we know from the study of childhood development that there is no such thing as a nine-year-old woman. And we know, I mean, it's ridiculous to claim that in 1,400 years, human beings have evolved differently.

1930.847 - 1948.368 Bob of Speakers' Corner

The most ridiculous argument I've ever heard from a Muslim apologist is, oh, it's because of the heat. People develop faster in the heat. Nonsense. Even if it makes a small little bit of difference, it's not going to be the kind of difference that will justify sleeping with a nine-year-old.

1948.388 - 1964.126 Bob of Speakers' Corner

So I felt sorry for him, really, that he was so brainwashed that you could tell by him dancing around the topic that he knew that it was wrong. And didn't he say in the interview, it doesn't apply today? Is that something he said or am I just making that up?

1964.206 - 1969.651 Liam Tuffs

And if I remember rightly, he did condemn that behaviour should it be done in modern times.

Chapter 4: What are the current fractures on the political right in the UK?

2472.615 - 2477.222 Bob of Speakers' Corner

What we've got is policing by the easiest route.

0

2477.642 - 2481.488 Liam Tuffs

And sorry, it was the Met Police that banned the walk, not the council.

0

2481.728 - 2504.897 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Yeah. So the fact that the Met Police basically said things are going to kick off is an admission by the Met Police that the Muslim community will use violence or elements of the Muslim community will use violence and that they can't guarantee to have a control of that. And so what we're going to do is we're going to deprive other people of their liberties.

0

2505.818 - 2528.364 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Now, I didn't agree with the UKIP march because I think that they are genuinely just using Christianity as a vehicle of recruitment to UKIP. I'm not denying Nick's genuine faith, but I think his faith and his politics are so mixed up together that the two things just go hand in hand for him.

0

2529.785 - 2557.652 Bob of Speakers' Corner

And I don't agree with weaponizing a procession, a Christian procession, which should be about celebrating the Christ as a way of just pissing off anyone. But at the same time, I want to live in a society where just because you're pissed off doesn't mean that you get to threaten the state with force and then the state go, oh, well, we can't let that march go ahead.

2558.092 - 2580.767 Bob of Speakers' Corner

He should have been allowed to do the march and they should have been allowed to protest against it. And I would have said that the march was unwise and pointless and a bit misdirected. But the state shouldn't have allowed itself to be intimidated. Right. And that is what we see increasingly is the state allowing itself to be intimidated. It comes down heavy on people in the political right.

2582.07 - 2592.608 Bob of Speakers' Corner

And I've had three people inside the Met, two serving police officers and a civilian worker, who've all told me independently that two-tier policing is happening. Oh.

2592.672 - 2593.052 Liam Tuffs

Blimey.

2593.293 - 2594.294 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Yeah, they've told me that.

Chapter 5: What challenges does uncontrolled migration present to the UK?

3347.103 - 3374.32 Bob of Speakers' Corner

You can't get to a GP when you want one. You're paying all this tax. You're seeing money getting squandered, sent off to France to pay for it to stop illegal boats. But then the illegal boats come over anyway. It's just the sheer waste of public money that is going on. And yet all the response of the elites is just to keep raising the tax bill. And we're not getting anything.

0

3374.341 - 3396.583 Bob of Speakers' Corner

We're paying more and we're not getting anything back. And the problem is, we talked about Britain's got the ingredients of a civil war. It certainly has all the ingredients of a civil war. The thing that's likely to spark it, if, God forbid, there is one, is economic collapse. You can't have a society...

0

3396.968 - 3425.572 Bob of Speakers' Corner

that is balkanized, divided, culturally separated, religiously separated, economically struggling, and socially dissatisfied with the institutions. And yet that is the direction of travel. And that just increases the heat. But my biggest bugbear, if the thing that I wake... I've got lots of things. I'm talking just as a person.

0

3426.633 - 3433.66 Bob of Speakers' Corner

It's just the sheer waste of public money that then leads to increased taxes. And you just know it's getting flushed down the toilet.

0

3433.88 - 3456.446 Liam Tuffs

And it is making everybody angry. This is why I can sort of smell a civil religious... I can smell something in... I can smell civil unrest in the air because wherever I go, people are angry. Even the people that would never have said anything Two years ago, they're speaking out loud in changing rooms, in restaurants, in cafeterias. The vibe has changed and it's not a positive energy out there.

3456.506 - 3457.609 Liam Tuffs

There's anger in the air.

3457.809 - 3484.962 Bob of Speakers' Corner

There is. And the thing is, in terms of that anger, it's like the elites have... an opportunity to fix it, but they've got to fix the real problems. But the point is, we're living in a society because of short-termism, because of the five-year cycle, election cycle. Previous governments from 20 years ago, from 30 years ago, have kicked systemic problems into the next election cycle.

3485.302 - 3505.035 Bob of Speakers' Corner

And then they've been kicked again into the next election cycle because to solve them is so painful to the liberal elites. that it was easier just to make someone else deal with. But now we've run out of field. We can't kick the balls down the field much further, and we can all tell that we've got to deal with the systemic problems in the country.

3505.055 - 3527.668 Bob of Speakers' Corner

And the systemic problems are your imports versus your exports, the tumorous way that the NHS and the welfare system work on the body politic and absorb so much resources, the declining military, uncontrolled immigration, and a lack of integration, which is a really massive one.

Chapter 6: How does two-tier policing affect communities in the UK?

3731.302 - 3756.257 Bob of Speakers' Corner

In the past, the Code of Chivalry was created in France, so it's a French code. But the point about being a Christian is that you're not xenophobic, so you can learn and take from other cultures. And at the time anyway, England and France were pretty much the same place. Half of France belonged to England at one point. But that code was designed to take brutal men...

0

3756.862 - 3782.698 Bob of Speakers' Corner

and to make them into gentle warriors. We need that code again to take gentlemen and to turn them into gentle warriors. And so I fully encourage people to learn about chivalry and to recover it. C.S. Lewis wrote a brilliant essay on it. I've started a society called The Order, and central to The Order is the idea of teaching chivalry.

0

3783.099 - 3783.96 Liam Tuffs

Where can people find that?

0

3784.58 - 3792.15 Bob of Speakers' Corner

They can find it on my website, which is soldierofchrist.online.

0

3792.13 - 3793.952 Liam Tuffs

We'll put that in the description anyway.

3793.992 - 3810.126 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Yeah, and the idea is that it's about learning fitness through martial arts. But central to our understanding of martial arts is the idea of chivalry. Just because you're strong doesn't mean you bully the weak. And that's what Jesus said, be meek. Being meek is not about being a doormat.

3810.326 - 3829.566 Bob of Speakers' Corner

It's about not using your own strength to your selfish opportunity, but controlling your passions and being in control of your passions. And that's what it is to be a Christian warrior. A Christian knight is to be in control of your own passions and not to bully or oppress others just because you're stronger than them.

3830.147 - 3831.909 Liam Tuffs

And we spoke about the saints at the start.

3832.049 - 3832.209 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Yeah.

Chapter 7: What role does ethno-nationalism play in current political discourse?

4232.242 - 4260.869 Bob of Speakers' Corner

I think that he is exactly what he looks like. He is a liberal Christian monarch who is powerless to an establishment and an elite that actually set the agenda and he knows that the family that he belongs to sits in comfort and prestige only because the elites of this country allow them to do so. And so he's keeping the family firm going by doing exactly what the elites want him to.

0

4262.372 - 4276.573 Bob of Speakers' Corner

But I think as a Christian, because he was raised, taught in the traditions of the Church of England, I don't think he's well-formed in the Christian faith. And I actually think we need to change the constitutional arrangement of this country.

0

4276.833 - 4278.655 Liam Tuffs

He's supposed to be the defender of it, isn't he?

0

4278.675 - 4304.796 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Well, he can't. There's no... He's not. Well, he can't. Constitutionally, he's powerless. He's a toothless tiger. All that he can do is influence people through friendships, maybe. Put a suggestion out here and there. That's it. That's all he can do. But I actually want there to be a change to the constitution. I either want the monarch to be separated from the church,

0

4305.147 - 4326.41 Bob of Speakers' Corner

and for him not to make the vow to defend the faith because it is a really serious thing to make a vow before God and then not act upon it and then not follow it. And no monarch has and can. And so actually it's hypocritical and it mocks God to make the monarch take a vow to God that he can't keep.

4327.01 - 4345.853 Bob of Speakers' Corner

So we either need to get rid of that part of the constitutional arrangement or, and this is my preference, We actually give him a power of veto, that we give the monarch a power of veto according to his Christian conscience, so long as it's not an explicit promise in a manifesto.

4346.98 - 4364.08 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Because a lot of times governments pass things that are not in their manifestos, like the abortion bill that they're trying to pass or the euthanasia bill that they've tried to pass or getting... I'm not sure about if getting rid of juries was in or out of the Labour manifesto. But lots of governments, they pass things that... I can almost guarantee it wouldn't have been. Yeah.

4364.52 - 4391.651 Bob of Speakers' Corner

Well, a lot of governments do that kind of stuff. And I think that I would want the monarch to have the power to veto things according to his conscience... which is a Christian monarch should be a Christian conscience, so long as they're not an explicit manifesto pledge, which is the balance between his promise to God being one that he can fulfil and the democratic mandate of a government.

4392.172 - 4407.36 Liam Tuffs

I think he's a wanker. Anyway, final question, or really a request. Something to give people of Great Britain a little bit of hope. In fact, England, it's St George's Day. That's what we're celebrating. What would your final message be to England on St George's Day?
