I'm joined by Mr. Lukey Moe Luke I have decided I'm going to start a flippin cult okay some would say that you have

with this show I think so yeah I mean we're obsessed with batteries we're yet to turn this into money or a charitable organisation but one day we will I think so, yeah. I mean, yeah, we're obsessed with batteries. We're yet to turn this into money or a charitable organisation,

but one day we will, I think. What are you going to do? What's going to be the hallmark of the cult? Well, the Twin Flames universe I've become very obsessed with. What's that? Obsessed in the sense of I've watched one documentary about it. I've invested two and a half hours into it. There's a Netflix documentary about it. I've invested two and a half hours into it. There's a Netflix documentary about

Twin Flames where these two people have started what is effectively a cult. Jeff and Shalaya Devan. They are two people who are just schlubby

looking people who don't seem like they're able to administer a cult, but they managed it. And there's a TV show about it. It started in 2017, obviously took hold during lockdown. And basically they say through their infomercials, their guides online,

their little Zoom TED Talks about how in every world, are twin flames that um should be together you know what i mean so if you have me and you me and you yeah exactly we were pulled together by some unknown unseen force um and it was meant to be etc so um what actually happened is um a lot of these um mainly young women uh joined this organization this kind of cult this church um and they uh commit um the crimes of passion color me surprised so they so they they all get together and they are cajoled, coerced, convinced that a failed relationship that they left behind some time ago needs to be revisited. Oh, my God. That's terrible.

It's not the worst idea. Exclusion orders. Kind of. What is it when you get like an Asbol where people can't get restraining orders? That means nothing in the Twin Flames universe. does it when you get like an asbo where people can't get restraining restraining orders um that means nothing in the twin flames universe you simply have to go back and bother the person who didn't want to be with you uh until until you you batter them over the head you said it's on telly it's like a documentary about about three it's it's a documentary about how it's a cult and

how um these poor um women um go these adorable young people who are like 19, 20 who just want to find love and these two pricks just take advantage of that fact and charge them six grand, seven grand a year to go on these kind of courses on how to So it's basically like NXIVM then, that NXIVM course. Yeah, but they're manifesting

their own relationships and the thing that gets me is Luke, the main guy who's this kind of toxic man, men's rights guy. He looks like a lad baby going wrong. They basically do these things. And he's kind of like all about men are the most powerful things.

And the woman is just going, I'll say anything to be kept in Chanel kind of vibes. And they're just like really, even in the court of kind of like cults, like this is not, this leader is not a very measured or thoughtful man. Is he charismatic? He's not very charismatic.

He's just a dickhead, like a massive dickhead. It's well worth a watch. Twin Flames on Netflix. It's an astonishing example of the internet making heroes out of absolute losers. So it's called Escaping Twin Flames, apparently.

Escaping Twin Flames. An. Escaping Twin Flames. An intense variation of a soulmate. We've all got them, apparently. It's apparently from the same director as the NXIVM cult documentary. Probably is. I mean, there's probably enough of these kind of things because they're making a lot of money

off of people's need for companionship. And it gets to a point where he, he tries about five or six different hair-bearing schemes to make a load of money, like proper nonsense. And then obviously they sashay, by the end of the documentary, they sashay into being a legitimate church, which in America is obviously big, big business.

Yeah, it's kind of depressingly easy to do that in some parts of the United States. I think there's a special place reserved in hell for people who set about their business to make themselves wealthy by exploiting the frailties and insecurities of other human beings. Whether you're a kind of clairvoyant

or a kind of, you know... It's more like a Joe Pompey fan. Yeah, they're right at the fucking top of the list. Escaping parts, man, I think they're right at the fucking top of the list. Escaping partsmen. I do sometimes, under advice and under kind of caution, I do watch or listen to the occasional kind of Joe Rogan. And the one with Derren Brown is really interesting.

Right. Because what Derren Brown's able to do, you know who Derren Brown is, right? Yeah. Yeah. He's a deconstructor of this type of stuff. And he deconstructs it, I believe, by knowing how to do it, right? So it's a great thing he did where he, I don't know if you've ever seen it, but he plays chess against 11 or 12 other grandmasters.

Right. 12 chess grandmasters. And he beats like six of them. And the reason, the way he's able to do it is everyone thinks it's he beats like six of them. And the reason he, the way he's able to do it is everyone thinks it's amazing and the rest of it

and then he reveals how he does it and all he did is he just memorised the move from the chess grandmaster before. So actually he's just

been a conduit. They're playing each other. Right. But would that not, would you not get yourself into a terrible model where you would just do the,

I guess if you're mirroring. No, but you're mirroring it. It's basically just a trick of memory. It's not about being good at chess. Yeah. Anyway, that's just one example. But he talks a lot on that Rogan podcast about how it's being done, how hypnotism is done and all the rest of it. It's about interrupting processes and learning a little bit about the brain and really just moving on very quickly

from people who aren't that suggestible, et cetera, et cetera. It's about cold reading, which is basically what psychic mediums are, like just essentially picking up on little things and practicing that and then just exploiting the shit out of people who don't question it

because they're so vulnerable, right? It's probably so easy to do it now in the age of, I i mean if you were a clairvoyant and you had people attending a show that you were doing i mean just get the list of people who bought tickets and then get online and have a look that's probably what i do yeah if you've got one clairvoyant if you go to someone's facebook profile they'll have and they're going to and and you're sort of of wondering is that person is that person chances are they're gonna have like a love of mystical things on that you're just gonna buy if you buy a ticket for that kind of thing you're

open to it mmm yeah but you could literally research the person you literally research I'm getting this name and it's the person that they've named on their face but like soldiers some of them are so obvious like I mean there was one I saw maybe on YouTube where the medium is saying i'm i'm looking for someone who had a um a picture of a dog in their hallway growing up so a few people put their hands up and then um he says oh yeah and then was it a picture of your own dog and the person person says, no. And he says, okay, we're just getting a picture in the hallway. And for some reason they say something like,

oh, there was a picture of a Spitfire in the hallway in my house growing up. And he goes, oh yeah, yeah, that's it, yeah. And presumably you had someone who fought in the war. And it's like, well, anyone can fucking say that. I mean, any family is going to be able to find someone really that had someone that fought in the war going to be able to find someone, really, that had someone that fought in the war of that generation, right?

Yeah, of course. It's just all very kind of basic stuff. But anyway, it's pretty interesting. And I think what I get the impression about, because I once saw Derren Brown when I was out in town once. I was having a beer, and I went somewhere else further out of town, and I saw Derren Brown on the back of one of those tuk-tuks along quite a main road

nowhere near the centre of town and it made me think like he may be kind of hypnotised to go and just cycle him home because they don't go anywhere they don't go anywhere other than the centre of town no

they've got to be returned but what I like about Derren Brown is that I firmly believe that he could definitely use those powers for evil yeah and he doesn't but what's really interesting

is how is how he he kind of talks to the people that he say he hypnotizes afterwards and he says what's really interesting is that their descriptions of what they experienced are all actually quite different yeah some of them will say oh it was a bit of fun and i've had a few beers so i just went along with it some of them will say um you know, I realized what you were doing but I didn't really feel like I could stop it.

I didn't have the power to stop. And then the rarest, most interesting ones are the ones who say, like, I was totally convinced that like Elvis was, you know,

having a beer with me kind of thing, you know. It's like, it's quite fascinating how the human brain kind of works on that type of stuff,

right? Yeah, yeah. Do you think you'd be, I mean, you dress like a hypnotist famously. Do you think you'd be easily hypnotised? No, I don't think I would. I think I would just an unhealthy distrust of anyone,

of the showman. I don't like magic. I don't like any of that nonsense, really. Have you put it on any of your appeals for speeding tickets? Well, you sorcerers, only God can judge me, sorcerer. I wrote that on my little reply. I don't observe this court.

I don't observe the court. I don't respect any of this shit. Big news in my world, Peter, is that... Maybe you should point your cameras to the Bible. Yeah. What would it tell us about speeding? Probably something about an overladen camel trying to go through the eye of a needle, etc.

Yeah, don't ride the camel too fast, maybe. Big news in my world is that, and you'll have very little interest in this, I'm sure, is that Tyson Fury and Oleksandr Usyk have agreed to fight. Right. Was that something that was going to happen anywhere? Well, we were hoping it would. Tyson Fury at the press conference called Alexander

Usyk a sausage, an ugly little man, a rabbit. Right. Which is kind of what he's like, but he said, you're getting smashed to pieces, sausage. You're fighting the best British heavyweight there's ever been. I've come here to pick a fight. I didn't come here to play games. I came here to fight. You're an ugly

little man. So hugely respectful to the man who's flying the flag for the Ukrainians uh in the uh yeah I know yeah but and also I mean he's not much of a looker as Fury though is he I mean like he's did you see that clip of him talking to his daughter on his uh reality tv show where he's going what's it like going to school and you know um being the being the daughter of a of the champion being the world champion do people treat you differently is it quite difficult she went no not really he goes good good i'm glad uh it's like proper brent

well the reason it's a good it's a big deal is because this is the first time they're fighting i think in february of next year it's the first time that we'll have an undisputed heavyweight champion since 1999. So what does disputed versus undisputed mean? There's loads of different belts. Right. So at the moment, Tyson Fury has got three of the belts. No, sorry, sorry. Olesan Usyk has got three of the belts.

He's got the WBA, the WBA and the IBF and Fury's got one. He's got the WBC, which you've seen is quite an important one I mean they're all kind of major belts I suppose but the problem is boxing is preposterous

right so it's split about all these different kind of federations so the last time that one heavyweight fighter held all of them

and was therefore undisputed rather than unified or just a single belt champion was when Lennox Lewis beat Evander Holyfield in 1999

so it's the first time this century so it's actually a pretty big dealfield in 1999. So it's the first time this century. So it's actually a pretty big deal. Isn't that weird that it's never been? Well, it's because the politics mean

it's very difficult. Like, it doesn't, because what happens in boxing is that, you know, boxers not only have different priority rankings with different federations,

they also sign individual deals with different TV channels. Yeah, okay. So, for example, if you've got one who's signed a deal with Showtime in the US and say TNT Sports

and the other one's got a Sky Sports deal here and was with HBO in the US, there's so many stakeholders, it just becomes very, very difficult to make the fight happen. The thing that, looking at Usyk and I don't know a huge amount about him, but he looks better with hair and the thing

that excites me about these two wrestlers is that... They're not wrestlers, mate. They're boxers. Sorry, boxers. Very different. Sorry, boxers. Is that, well, comparing them to wrestlers, sort of chest muscles just don't matter. Like pecs, something that people obviously work on

when you look powerful and body beautiful and stuff. Pecs just don't seem to come into it. You can be quite lithe down the front. It's all about your weight distribution elsewhere and your legs and your back and your arms. It's absolutely wild.

One of the things about Tyson Fury that she's quite, I mean, he's an interesting character, I would say. I think he's not all good, he's not all bad, in my view. He said some difficult stuff in the past, which he's lately apologised for, and he's actually been very, very important,

I believe, for men's mental health in this country. But he's actually quite self-deprecating. Sometimes when he fights another boxer who's ripped, and he'll be like yeah not bad for a fat twat is it like that kind of thing because he talks about himself in that way but generally speaking the boxers at lower weights obviously have to be cut right because

they're they can only be a certain weight with heavyweight boxing there's no upper weight limit yeah so it's just about power it's just about power versus speed and what you really want to do so it's not necessarily other than for aesthetics and even then i suppose you know the criticism that some people would make of or a criticism that some people would level at anthony joshua is that he's too ripped yeah so he just gets knackered right right so he's too heavy where he doesn't need to yeah yeah that kind of stuff so like with fury and usic usic's probably a little bit better shape than Fury, but he's much smaller. But you're right, it's basically going to be

for the undisputed best heavyweight fighter in the world, it's going to be two blokes who don't look that amazing with their tops off. Yeah. Which is kind of wild to think about. I mean, they're just the general sort of real estate. You could get a big old tattoo on everyone's chest. There's a great little, there's a great kind of run of videos

that do the rounds on TikTok, and it's when boxers go to a particular TV studio in America, I think, and they make them as part of the feature, punch the punching machine that you get at a circus. Right, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it is extraordinary. Well, they've come back in a big way, punching machines, in a way that I just never thought would exist.

Southend, I think I could punch from my house, like from Southend Pier, I could punch a machine every 20 yards. Like there's just so many of those machines, and they're always getting pound after pound after pound, pounded into them. What's really interesting is that apparently like, it depends on the brand of machine. Right.

Some of them are pretty accurate. Right. And as long as their people are punching the same machine, it's a pretty good guide. And the average punching machine like like score i think is something like because it's out of a thousand it's like 300 or something and these guys are like punch at 995 996 and it's not just the score because it's a fucking arcade machine if at the end of the day it's just the sound and the power yes it's horrible isn't it and and and that's one thing

you never really get prepared for if you ever go have you ever seen a boxing match in the flesh no i don't think i have so if you go there even if you're not that near the front and you're not seeing fighters that are actually that good in the ground you go to york hall on like a friday night you can see one every week um the sound of the glove hitting the head yeah is rancid it's gut-wrenching yeah It's like a ship hitting a pier. Crunch. Yeah, basically, yeah. Didn't Fury fight that MMA guy? And I think he didn't.

Francis Ngannou. And Ngannou knocked him down. Yeah, I think his brother said that they weren't pumped like they were for any other fight. They weren't quite as excited. I mean, you say that afterwards. I'm not saying Tyson Fury looked past him

as an exhibition match to make a bit of money. If any fighter was going to do that, I think Tyson Fury might be up there. Tyson Fury would do that, right? Yeah. But I don't think it means much for the big one. They've got plenty of time to train. And Fury, that's the thing.

Fury is unquestionably one of the greatest boxers Britain's ever produced I mean he's incredibly good and he doesn't look good and he's quite controversial but he is fucking good

and so is Usyk and that's why it'll be a really interesting fight I mean Usyk basically toyed with Anthony Joshua twice you know

so and he like Tony Bellew for example who was a British cruiserweight champion stepped up the heavyweight got absolutely decimated by Usyk.

So he's good as well. So it's actually two amazing fighters. It'll be a really interesting thing. And I predict it'll be a really big event. It's in the middle of February, I think. So it's well worth a watch. Anyway, let's have a break. When we come back, I want to trawl through a few emails

because we've got a bit of a pile-up in the inbox, mate. And it's worth going through them. All right. Go back to school with Rogers and get Canada's fastest and most reliable internet. Perfect for streaming lectures all day or binging TV shows all night.

yes and he said it was such fascinating viewing the whole fake show thing even the point you realised it wasn't real didn't make it less entertaining

my 12 year old brother though bailed out 30 minutes from the end as he was too scared and so obviously he never knew that it was fake

and my dad realized this. And just seconds after the show ended, he tried to shit us all up by switching off the mains to the entire house and then repeatedly banging the ceiling underneath the bedroom with a broom. Right. Right. I think Gary is a few years older than his younger brother. I love how that's seen as responsible parenting

to a 12 and a 15 year old. Well, this will put the shits up them. This will put the shits up, yeah, yeah. I mean, you'd be terrified, wouldn't you?

Yeah, I think so. But I think, yeah, I just think, but if you're messing around with the mains, you've got to be very confident

of the wires, the components inside, the electronics you've got in the house. Explain that to the mother of your children when she comes home. Why is everything off? Why is the fridge ruined? Why is all the food? Why is

this week's food? We've got no housekeeping money left and why is all the food from the freezer all over the floor? What you need to know first and foremost was it was an excellent prank. It was a rib. It was a bit. When I was about 12, I went to the house of a friend of mine who, in retrospect, was a wrong-un

and has had all sorts of trouble as an adult and I wish him all the very best, but he was a naughty boy, right? A naughty little lad. And I told my mum I was going to someone else's house and it was only a few streets away, so there's no one anyone would have known. And when I went round his house,

it was during the day, I think it was a Saturday his mum and dad were out even though we were only about 12 and he said oh do you want to watch a movie

I was like yeah cool he said do you want to watch Nightmare on Elm Street right on VHS it was on VHS it must have been what year was that

Nightmare on Elm Street the first one 1984 so it had been out for ages this had been about 1992 so it went out on VHS by then and I didn't want to watch it because I was frightened

even though I'd only ever seen a picture of Freddy Krueger on the cover I think that's fair, he's quite scary isn't he? yeah but I didn't want to say that so I watched it with him and I was so terrified that I really just wanted to go home that's adorable

maybe I was a bit younger, maybe I was about 10 I just wanted to go home and it was still during the day so I made my wanted to go home. That's adorable. Maybe I was a bit younger. Maybe I was about 10. Anyway, I just wanted to go home. And it was still during the day. So I just made my excuses, went home. But obviously, I couldn't tell my mum that I'd watched the movie, let alone tell her that I'd been at that guy's house because I wasn't even supposed to be there. Yeah.

And I vividly remember walking home, the two or three streets home it was, in the middle of the day. And at one point, a front door slammed shut and i i honestly very nearly like properly pissed my pants it was like physically i almost pissed myself that's how frightened i was it was awful and what i think about what i think about you know the kind of the way parenting was in those days not long after that i was allowed to go to my mate's house at the bottom of our street and when i got there his old man right was chopping a tree

down in the front garden and it was consisting of so you know like the the formation of a cactus two big branches coming off a main trunk right he chopped the two branches off before he did the trunk while the branch was really big when he chopped off it landed on my head hang on how big was this cactus where were you living no i said imagine the formation of a cactus that's what oh that was the trick right okay sorry just give you a descriptor right i'm imagining i'm imagining the spine sticking in your head and the water from the cactus dripping down your face i got oh tequila lovely i i i am i don't remember that much about it what happened but i remember i was sick i was physically sick right because you got that sounds like cte that sounds like concussion or something concussion and then he put me he said oh you'll be fine and he put me in

my mate's brother's bed right i laid down I laid down there for a while. I think my parents might have been out for the day, so he was looking after me or something. And it was kind of fine. But looking back on it, that's not good, is it? That's not good. He shouldn't be... I mean, that information should be at least getting transmitted to your mom and dad. I'm looking for a hard hat, really, in that kind of situation.

Yeah, I think so. Getting bonked on the head. Yeah, you don't sort of think, do you? If it's a big bonk it makes you sick it's probably a hospital job isn't it that is a hospital job yeah just to check the art check the pupils and stuff the responsiveness and stuff but i didn't go to the hospital because it was the 80s yeah so no one gave a shit mate brain brain fluid coming out you know all right what about this one from anthony anthony says hi luke and the p Long time listener, first time emailer. I'm a just turned 36-year-old dad of two

who enjoys eating and drinking too much. I recently had an enlightening though and decided to join a gym at the local leisure centre not too far from Luke's hometown of Gosport. He did put the word enlightening in inverted commas, which sounds very much like it was a euphemism for health scare. Yeah, or diagnosis. Earlier today, I had my induction at the gym, lightning in inverted commas which sounds very much like it was a euphemism for health scare. Yeah. Or diagnosis.

Yeah. Earlier today I had my induction at the gym which is a multi-level gym. Now I am quite socially awkward and was finding the induction incredibly

painful. I don't know why they put three people through that. Is it just to upsell people to use personal trainers and stuff?

It's for insurance. Is it? It's got to be. You fuck yourself up they're going to say, well, you had an induction and you were told. Just look at the little diagrams on the side of the machines. They usually tell you everything you need to know. I mean, I was given the

induction at a local gym and I'll tell you something now, I was not listening at any point. He said, as we neared the stairs to the bottom floor where the freeway area and other big gym machines were, I blurted out, ah, this is where all the big boys are. Needless

to say, the member of staff looked incredibly awkward and the rest of the induction was significantly lacking any small talk. Anthony! What do you mean by that, Anthony? What I like about it is that he's tried to insert a bit of levity into some quite functional

dull admin um and he's come across as a pervert so it's good it's good and and also i think people who work in gyms don't realize uh that abnormal physiques you don't see them every day so when you see the big boys with the big weights you just i don't see this very often because i have no business being in this place i would never go to that part of the gym. Yeah, no, no. And also, they all seem to know what to do with the, you know, the cord ones that are sort of multifunction. They've got different handles on them

and you can change them and you can do pull downs and pull up and all that stuff. I can safely say in my life, I've never once touched one. No, I can never see myself doing anything with a weight that, um, that is longer than my body.

You know, those like big long weights that you do over the head. I can never imagine doing. At one point you were fairly kind of ripped. What were you doing then? Just for it, just a couple of free weights and a little, um,

doing them on my coffee table. Um, I'm back on a bit of a health kick at the moment. I think I've said I, I have, I have lost cracking on for three quarters of a health kick at the moment I think I said I have lost cracking on for three quarters of a stone like doing

but doing just not really eating all that much but I've tried this so many times and it's never worked and now it is working I'm concerned that it might be a health issue well no you'll be fine you go down the rabbit hole don't you you do sort of go

this has never worked before, and I've shipped a lot of weight, and I don't know how I've done it. It's just calories in, calories out. The thing about it is... Yeah, but they say that, though, I did that, but then I look back and I sort of go, I've not had a packet of discos for weeks, and I used to eat them almost daily.

So that must be something. Unbelievable. Yeah, but what you've got to remember is there's a lot of kind of opinion and emotion ascribed to what is essentially just basically a physical process it's just science just calories a unit of energy right you have an x amount of them and if you burn more than you take in you'll lose weight and obviously it takes time and your breath fucking stinks yeah i find when i go on this health kicks my weight fluctuates massively like my weight fluctuates about 50 or 60 pounds either way sometimes.

What's that? Speak English. What? We need stones. Four stone? Four stone? Hang on. Your weight goes from four stone.

That can't be true. That's mental. The lightest I've been right is I think just under 14 13 stone 10 I think right and the heaviest I've been

is definitely over 17 stone 100% that's wild god you must but I don't know this I'm tall and I've got a beard so you can't see my

double chin but the point being that like there's a lot of emotion that goes into it yeah there's a really good guy

on Instagram called the fit and the chef who's really science led and he's I think there's a lot of emotion that goes into it. Yeah. There's a really good guy on Instagram called the fitness chef. Who's really science led. And he's, I think he does a lot of positive messaging about like, you know, it's not about, you can never have a Mars bar again.

It's not about, you know, you have to run a marathon every day. It's just, it's, you know, it's just untenable. That's all you need to do is find out what your basic metabolic rate is,

how many calories you need a day and even out over a week. So if you have a busy night in the pub or whatever whatever just compensate on other days across a week or two weeks and you'll be absolutely fine the issue is that kind of process is a lot more emotionally led than for me at least than anything else it's very difficult for me to stick to that because my life isn't that linear and i've got a baby i'm tired and i want to just and because and it kills you because when you're tired in that way when you're raising your child obviously you crave like really calorie dense like salty foods or sugary foods and so it's oh i don't know how you maintain anything when you've when you've got much bigger i haven't maintained a single fucking thing there's no maintenance at all going on here mate the only thing people do it though they have to be very

focused and you know you just you just feel like if I'm hungry and tired and which accentuates any tiredness I may have I'm being a worse dad I would think you know what I mean

so give me the Mars bar the best dad joke about it I heard and this is going to sound pretentious but I very occasionally very occasionally

use a tailor for suits and the tailor that I use he's quite a funny bloke and he uses he's got a great line where he says when he delivered me occasionally use a tailor for suits. And the tailor that I use, he's quite a funny bloke. And he uses, he's got a great library.

He says, when he delivered me the last suit I got, he said, don't forget though, if that suit spends an extended time in the wardrobe, it'll tend to shrink. Nice. Basically being the older you get,

the fatter you're going to get, mate. Lovely stuff. Anyway, should we just, you want to go? Okay, we'll go. Let's go. I don't know. Well, nice basically being the older you get the fatter you're gonna get mate lovely stuff um anyway um should we just squeak squeak oh you want to go okay we'll go let's go i don't know well i've well i've got other things to do i suppose i don't know do you want to go do you want to do you want to read out a quick email i'll do one more quick one do one just because i feel bad that i haven't done the second as the email from matt he says hi guys well listen to monday's

episode i was delighted to realize i had a reason to email in um just this weekend i declared to my girlfriend i was boycotting asda and luke's disdain towards it resonated with me to the point i had to email in um it's not cheaper all the supermarkets price match anyway and for the weekly shop i go to tesco but the closest shop to our house is after so i'll go there in a couple of bits and my main gripe is that on the self-checkout of around 25 tills they only have one member of staff on

every single time I've been in there I've had to wait for someone to do the age check buying a load of booze by the sound of it or because there's

an unexpected item in the fucking bagging area and on Sunday there was 13 people standing waiting for this one old boy to come along

the supermarket is also laid out in a mental way with nothing in a logical place. They never have any stock. They don't sell basic stuff you'd imagine for such a large supermarket. And it's always messy.

Rant over, love the show. I love the catharsis of being able to email in about that and tell someone and us actually giving a shit. So that's why I wanted to include it because the man is virulently against ASDA and I for one support him. Good stuff. Well, if you've got issues with your favourite or least
