Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the podcast, The Lotus Seaters, for Friday, the 4th of April, 2025. Look, time, I'm too old to worry about time.

Time is a young person's game. I'm not worried about this. Transcended time. Yeah, I've transcended the concept.

It's just the forever now, okay? I'm joined by Bo and Lillani Dowding.

Thank you so much for coming in.

And today we're going to be talking about the very real fear of a British civil war.

The current kind of gender war that's going on in South Korea, in cells versus feminists, as I understand it.

Is that correct?

Well, that's one angle.

I was going to talk more about the actual legislative process and the news that broke overnight about their president. But that's one

element to it. I don't follow South Korean politics very closely, but go team insult.

Look at me on team feminist. And then we're going to be talking about the prejuvenation trend among Gen Z women.

Why are they getting their faces filled with Botox and lip fillers and making themselves look

kind of monstrous? It's a very peculiar thing and I don't understand it. But before we begin,

we of course have a lads hour at

3 o'clock this afternoon and we're going to be playing ethno-guessa to see how accurately we can

map the ethnicities of the world or something. I've not actually played it, but it looks like it should

be fun. Anyway, right, so let's begin. So at the last election, we were treated to, I think, signs of things to come,

which was the independent Muslim MPs who were elected in their constituencies on the pro-Palestine position,

which isn't really very closely tied to British politics.

How mad is that in and of itself?

Yeah, it's kind of mad.

Why should that ever be the case?
