 Right, so today we're going to talk about the prime minister of the UK, Rishi Sunak. He's a new prime minister, he used to be like the treasurer or something, but he's besties with Boris Johnson, he's conservative, he seems like he grew up middle class or higher class and now he's in charge of the country. Interestingly enough though, he was born and raised a Hindu, but the reason Rishi is on topic this month is that Generation Vegan, formerly known as Million Dollar Vegan, who I've done a bit of work with and collaborated with a bit, they have actually challenged Rishi Sunak to go vegan for a month in exchange for one million pounds and not one million pounds for Rishi to chuck in his back pocket because I'm sure he wouldn't mind that, hey Rishi, but to a charity of his choice. So I kind of put a bit of pressure on him, hey Rishi, we want you to lead by example and is it just about Rishi like privately going vegan? No, it's more about Rishi being in such a powerful position, using this as an opportunity to campaign, to put a little bit of pressure on Rishi because it like it's win-win, all you have to do is cut the animal products out of your life for a month and a million pounds goes to charity, come on Rishi, a bit of pressure mate, it's pretty easy, but also they want him to lead by example, let's just go to the generation vegan open letter to Rishi, look Rishi mate, they've got some pretty good stuff here, agriculture is the primary land user in the UK covering 71% of total UK land area, around 17.5 million hectares and animal agriculture accounts for up to 85% of this land, what? So 85% of the agricultural land in the UK is being used for animals, that's most of it, it only provides 32% of our calories and less than half of our protein so it uses 85% of agricultural land in the UK and only provides a third of the calories, do the Master Rishi, you can actually support farmers too with a plant-based food system, when we say farmers it's always about the dairy farmers and the egg farmers and but you can actually also support plant farmers which vegans are big supporters of because that's the only people we support because we're always supporting the plant farmers, they go on to about protecting the planet, they're very environmental focused with this which I kind of get because you know a lot of people don't care about animals, they don't see animals as primary victims but here it is, the last paragraph, be compassionate Rishi, in the UK's meat dairy and egg industries we needlessly kill around 1.2 billion land animals for food each year, wow it's growing, it's growing and most of those are chickens actually in the UK, I think a billion of those are chickens, for example in the dairy industry 2.6 million cows go through unimaginable cruelty all their lives and eventually killed for meat, Rishi as a Hindu, as a Hindu a Hymsa is the central tenant of Hinduism, a Hymsa meaning non-violence, they then go on to talk about dairy cows that are pregnant when they're slaughtered, half of the veal calves in the UK actually now eaten in the UK which is a crazy start that's gone up, thousands of male calves, 29 million male chicks unwanted by the industries they're born into are killed each year within days or hours of being born, pretty crazy Rishi killing babies here, millions and millions of babies, so we hope you'll consider our sincere offer and lead the UK towards a more sustainable and promising future, sounds very very very reasonable you know Rishi lead by example you're now the leader of this country so why not lead by example I mean it's a it's kind of like what's he gonna do because he's got a lot of our farmers going Rishi let's get let's go let's go let's get into this because there's a there's a bit here but also before we get into the juicy stuff there's a little bit here on uh look what Gen V have done boom look at the train stations just covered just covered with it with all this information come on mate the science is clear Rishi look at this factory farms boom Britain's a nation of animal lovers come on Rishi so are you so are you you're supposed to be look at this will you go will you go vegan for a million pounds imagine if someone put that on you a million pounds to your charity look at this even stickers this is fantastic the whole like even the railings when you go into the train station and and the escalator railings are all covered wow okay that's pretty good that's pretty cool and then we got um oh we've even got to wait there's a news report yeah campaign group is offering Rishi Sunak a million pounds to be paid to a charity if his choice if he goes vegan for one month here to tell us more about it is Generation Vegan CEO Nemi Hallam hello Nemi thanks for coming in hey Nemi just takes the million that would be fantastic has the charity gotten a million just go just go for it Rishi say yes say you go vegan Rishi go vegan for the animals okay we better edit that out because that is so cringy all right now he definitely probably just won't go vegan because I did that stupid song I think but anyways let's keep going look at these look at all the people I really I really sorry I couldn't be there to be on the ground for this because this is so cool look at this they've got tractors with blow-up Rishi's on there driving through London and a blow-up cow look at that that's absolutely crazy who's driving these track are they vegans driving these tractors because that is that's dedication and then it's just the old London Bridge and over the river Thames they've got some banners here anyways it's a cool campaign and it's a very clever campaign because it you know there's a bunch of media that has arisen for this important talking point important topic so Rishi will he go vegan let's go through let's have a little little delve into Rishi as a character here I mean in my personal analysis of Rishi he would care about public opinion more than making actual real change I think he would rather keep the status quo and try to make the status quo look more squeaky clean than actually be more progressive but you know we could be wrong because Rishi born and raised as a Hindu he believes that cows are sacred here he is performing the gao puja sorry all the Hindus out there if I've absolutely ruined the pronunciation here but here he is what are they what are they doing with this guy with the paint on them but it looks like he's performing some type of sacred cow ritual here so Rishi Sunak's visit to Bhaktipadantamana and we've got Prabhupada there I remember Prabhupada a very important figure in Hinduism his visit culminated in feeding the cows the mana has 62 Belgian freshened cows at what has been described as the hilton of dairy farms promoting the welfare of cows and bulls and compassionate farming techniques well you know exploiting cows is that really compassionate I don't know but a him to dairy they don't kill cars they don't do they don't kill the animals but it's just it's just not scalable and it's still treating the animals as a product and a resource but their little video here explaining why cows need protection right so cut cow protection when you think of protection you might be thinking oh they're not endangered species or you may be thinking it's some form of worship but actually it's the fact that they have a conscience just the way that we do they have feelings just the way that we do they have emotions just the way that we do so why don't they deserve protection why don't they deserve a home just the way that we do you heard a Rishi now you went down here Rishi you must agree that cows are sentient beings now you believe that cows are also holy and deserve worship and here at the mana that you that you visited they believe cows are conscious just like we are now if you believe that in principle you have to extrapolate that out to other animals who generate who have the capacity to generate consciousness just like cows like chickens pigs fish okay other birds because if you don't extend that inherent value that principle out to these other animals then that is a form of speciesism where you're favoring a cow because your religion says that cows are sacred it's like an arbitrary value that you're bestowing upon one species of animal but if you use logic and reason you have to extrapolate that out to the other animals don't you from the sources that I can see I believe that Rishi avoids eating cows because of his hindu beliefs I don't know if that's 100 percent true but I believe he avoids eating cows now Rishi you know half the beef in the UK comes from cows that have been slaughtered because of the dairy industry so wouldn't it make sense to kick the dairy and why not advocate against these industries you know these industries abuse torture kill kidnap infanticide where they're killing baby carves now the dairy industry should be just diametrically opposed to everything you believe in why wouldn't you just bestow some of your hindu principles on UK animal agriculture practice a hymsa and put a hymsa into law that would be great for animals wouldn't it that would really protect them now hypocritically but not surprisingly Rishi also promotes the slaughter of other animals he's on sky news here carbon emissions is that the best place for you to be this morning well actually on that point see this thing as we've mentioned it we're almost out of time you are at a meat market today why are you in a meat market when we're told to eat less meat to try and cut down on carbon emissions i mean i i'm not telling anyone to eat less meat and you mentioned children actually yesterday's budget confirmed he skipped right over a day i mean you're at a butcher Rishi the environment is getting destroyed animals are getting chopped up behind you there are cows that you worship or that you've been known to worship chopped up into pieces behind you and then you go on to say i'm not telling anyone to eat less meat that there shows a lack of backbone a lack of spine and apologism you're you're being you're sitting on the fence like a true politician here you're not saying hey you know what decapitating animals is actually one of the biggest moral crimes of our generation and it's destroying our earth and if we keep going like this we won't have an earth who's lobbying the government to to have the chancellor that he was the chancellor at this time stand in front of meat while he does a little interview on sky news do you know what i mean like who's doing that who's got that lobbying lobbying power well lobby groups like dairy uk nfu national farmers union there's always a reason why why politicians say what they say and and protect these the meat industry but old mate rishi served up a big plate of controversy when he was bestowed with the title the worst waiter we've ever seen let's have a look at this little little youtube link here here he is what are you doing rishi hello this is one of my friends this is the vegan there we go thank you oh may rishi tried to serve a chopped up little bird to some vegans rishi sunak is the worst waiter we've ever seen the chancellor serves chicken to vegans like come on rishi mate come on i mean i wouldn't if i was rishi i wouldn't even be picking up that rishi and putting it on the table i'd be like i'm not even touching that chicken chopped up birds factory farmed little baby birds um you know what i'd love to do rishi you're not going to accept this offer but i'm just going to say it for for i don't know theatrical reasons this is a challenge that i always put forward to people and i will if you ever accepted it i would do it 100 i would love to take you into a factory farm you would never come but i would love to show you what happens to these birds inside every single factory farm in the uk i could probably emphatically make that claim unless someone proves me otherwise right at a certain point in time when chickens are ready for harvest in this country right they are falling over on their face and dying in their own feces and suffering immensely and you know dying at about a four percent death rate and you'll see bins full of dead chickens who have suffered and died before they even make it to the slaughterhouse and they get dragged into crates slammed into a truck and sent to a gas chamber i would love rishi to experience that first hand the fear and the suffering and the smell um and maybe he would think twice before making a little little error there um serving chicken to vegans here's another bit of controversy from rishi we're grilling rishi a bit but we do want him to go vegan but we're just showing i'm just i'm just showing like will rishi go vegan morning morning right how are you good yeah that's right rishi what's your name rishi Dean how are you you're hungry hungry well we're getting some good breakfast you're giving some good breakfast so you're serving him a class one carcinogen a pig no different to a cow which you believe are sacred animals no different morally in their inherent value to a cow have suffered to death in a gas chamber in the uk probably factory farmed as well most likely factory farmed especially here in the uk we're talking about high 80 of pigs are factory farmed but i think it's 90 actually serving eggs as well a product of extreme suffering to this person rishi you're not really like what you're doing is a good gesture mixed with a horrible moral crime here you know um it's you're feeding someone the bodies of someone else who didn't want to die so yeah i mean there's rishi serving chopped up bodies of uh pigs and the eggs from suffered hens to an individual when he could have easily scrambled up some tofu you know what i mean you could have easily you know got him some hash browns i don't know uh there's ways of helping people who are less fortunate without gas chambering other beings who are also less fortunate now we're going to we're going to the prime minister's questions here the pmq's maybe this one here he supports the idea of a plant based diet being good for the planet and uh and good for animal rights and stuff like that let's have a look that is a fact so who does he agree with the obr or his Tory minister sir here we go mr speaker one of the great opportunities of brexit is our ability to trade more with countries around the world and actually i know the honorable i know the honorable lady will actually want to speak to many of the welsh farmers who are enjoying selling their lamb to the new markets that we have opened up for them that's what we'll get on and deliver okay so he's talking about decapitating actually and no word of a lie decapitating like you know electrically stun decapitating beautiful little baby lambs adorable dog-like creatures so a lamb is no different morally to a cow either but he's here supporting welsh farmers selling their decapitated dismembered body parts overseas to be eaten by humans instead of making the stand against it which he could easily do and you could do that this month rishi by going vegan for a million pounds worth of charity let's keep going what else we got here in our little box of goodies here rishi backing british farmers mr speaker right now we are suffering the worst outbreak of avian flu ever recorded okay there's a there's a really bad outbreak of avian flu right so their solution has to be let's stop mass breeding chickens actually let's not stop mass breeding turkeys and other birds because you know they can cause pandemics look at this look at this avian flu this could turn into a virus that could infect humans and kill us all let's let's keep going let's see what their solution is here hundreds of thousands of birds are being destroyed to stem the spread of this terrible disease the government's acted quickly so they're worried about about birds being destroyed so maybe they care about birds actually okay let's go to bring forward compensation to for live birds culled to 48 hours after confirmation of disease for even this short delay is causing significant losses to farmers in broadly as the disease wreaks havoc to flocks dead birds are not compensated okay so they just want compensation for the people who are mass exploiting them and killing them there's nothing to do with the birds or nothing to do with the virus that could infect and kill the entire population it's about giving farmers compensation i wonder who lobbied you to say that in parliament was it the nfu who was it was it chicken lobby is uk is that is that a little bit of a little bit of chicken money in your front pocket there mate let's see what rishi says today is back british farming day oh back british farming day is an nfu campaign funny that hey funny that they're also a lobby group for farmers and now you're standing up in parliament well my right honorable friend take this opportunity to back british farmers and agree compensation for all affected birds from the date when disease is confirmed it's all about the farmers all about back and farmers but chicken farmers what about back british potato farmers or back british you know maybe soya farmers you could grow a bunch of soya instead of feeding it all to the chickens and the pigs in factory farms that have all these viruses spread out of them you know you could actually make some more soya products hey how about that how about back british soya farmers that'd be good wouldn't it anyway here we go the honorable prime minister rishi sunak is he gonna say he's gonna say you know what mate you've got the wrong perspective you should be thinking of the rights of these birds their inherent value and how much they suffer in these factory farms and you should also be thinking that h1n1 is a very serious bird flu that could evolve and and destroy us all so we really got to think about phasing out these industries and compensating farmers to phase out of these industries because you know they cause so much suffering environmental damage and they're going to kill us all in in a massive pandemic that's what he's going to say let's go rishi well mr speaker and somebody who represents a very rural and farming community it is a great pleasure to back british farming day enjoying with colleagues oh god damn you rishi what are you doing prapubhada would be very disappointed in you mate what is this what is this you're going to back the national farmers union campaign which is directed at encouraging people to consume the products that are destroying the world and could cause the next pandemic and and decapitating sentient beings so you'd prefer to uh wait a second what's that is is that is that a bit of farming money in his pocket too what is this this is a very peculiar coincidence but my honorable friend is right to highlight that outbreaks of avian flu this year are on track to be some of the worst on record that's why we've toughened up biosecurity measures on poultry farms and i can also just toughen up biosecurity measures hey is that we and how are you going to enforce that across the factory farms of the uk you're going to stick cameras in to watch the farmers at work to watch the farmers stick dipping their little shoes in the solution now how are you going to tighten up biosecurity measures what does that mean what does that even mean and say to him that we have confirmed we will now pay compensation from the outset of planned culling rather than at the end a request i know he in the farming sector will warmly welcome okay so instead of saying let's phase out the these industries they're actually causing outbreaks and they could destroy us all and you know what what was his solution is actually to avian flu is not to phase out these disgusting industries that we're only doing for taste pleasure for the corpses of these little baby birds that suffer you know because people want their chicken wings and because the nf you have lobbied you and because you've got to be you know these poor farmers right these poor factory farmers who have 50 000 birds in a shed right you're not talking about your old little backyard farmer here we're talking about factory farmers this is where bird flu happens predominantly and these are the vessels where it's most likely to flourish in these big massive factory farms his solution is to tighten up biosecurity measures whatever that means how are you going to enforce that farms are enforced by themselves anyway there's no independent scrutiny of these farms so how are you even supposed you're going to send the cops in to make sure they're you know they're doing everything right whatever whatever that means and then you're going to compensate farmers further so these birds all die from avian flu and there's an outbreak you're going to give farmers more money more subsidies you're going to subsidize them for a problem that they are causing that's how much you'd rather support those who are mass exploiting and killing these birds than try to put that money into evolving past these industries and making plant-based products which would avoid this problem altogether actually you're not giving me too much hope that you're going to go vegan but you know but the point is i'm pointing out the the problem to rishi and the solution is very simple you know you could lead by example go vegan this month and beyond and start implementing policies that help solve this issue instead of putting a band-aid on it throwing money back at farmers because they're lobbying you um here's a bunch of uh stuff here there's so much more of rishi talking to butchers rishi supporting beef and lamb industries on twitter you know we've got rishi uh on animal welfare here rishi promises to ban animal exports and and hunting trophies um why would you why do you want to buy uh ban animal exports rishi do you care about animals it's probably something to do with um wanting to to kill the animals here and sell them on on our shores something to do with supporting local farmers here it wouldn't be anything i don't see it as they don't make these welfare decisions unless there's some type of benefit to the pocket here it's not it's not they don't do this because animals have they believe animals have inherent value and shouldn't be exploited and killed or put on these boats and ships they would have done it for some other financial reason that's my that is my uh experience an honest opinion on this although it's a good thing that the animals are not exported i just don't think that he done it for some ethical reason but there could be hope there there could be hope there rishi promises to ban animal exports and hunting would you ban animal exploitation and hunting in the uk it was hunting trophies by the way not hunting so he's just he's a massive supporter of animal farming you know um that that's that's what we can get by rishi's rhetoric so the article on his website here's delphi to save our dairy farmers rishi save our dairy farmers we all know that dairy exploits and kills cows who rishi you know claims our holy animals and shouldn't be exploited and killed so rishi sunak um i hope the the gen v letter has reached you well i hope you've read it and analyzed it and seen the logic in what gen v are saying about you know the environment the fact that you can still support british farmers without supporting animal exploitation and mass killing now i can see that you are born and raised the hindu who believe animals like cows are sacred why not just extrapolate that out to the other animals and to the dairy industry and things like that i get at your uh you're a politician so you have to be careful about public opinion don't you but when are we going to have a leader who puts the rights of animals first puts the environment first and no matter what it takes start implementing real changes that are actually going to make a difference and not just cucking to the establishment cucking to lobbyists and you know cucking to public opinion you're trying to play both sides of the fence which is very clear why not stand up like great people like mahatma ghandi stood up you know you could be a new leader a real leader and someone who doesn't just talk out both sides of their mouth and uh just repeat the same rhetoric verbatim as every other conservative prime minister you could really make a stand here you could really do something progressive and you know start to phase out these horrible industries because at some point in time it's going to be too late so there we go rishi sunak time to go vegan mate what do you guys think of this campaign you can tweet at rishi sunak i'll leave that link down below you can go to gen v's website you can go click here we go tweet at rishi sunak and you can say hey rishi why don't you go vegan mate this month and a million pounds a whole million pounds go into charity come on mate you're gonna brush that off you're gonna brush that million pounds off um or you're too scared of pissing off the nfu what is it which one is it this is a million dollars mate to charity let's see how big that rishi heart is and let's see if rishi sunak leads by example and lives vegan
