#212 - Callum Smiles - "They Are Stealing The Country": Border Gangs, Fake Deliveroo Accounts & The Civil War

Callum Smiles is an investigative reporter and co-founder of the Wyvern Fellowship. Having spent years conducting on-the-ground reporting across Calais, Dunkirk, and the Spanish enclave of Ceuta, he has documented the operational realities of Channel crossings, NGO involvement, and human trafficking networks across Europe.In this episode, Callum and I discuss the true mechanics behind illegal migration - from TikTok marketing campaigns run by trafficking gangs to the widespread abuse of gig-economy delivery accounts within the UK. We examine the systemic collapse of public infrastructure, government procurement waste, and the rise of local "parallel institutions" designed to rebuild community resilience independent of central state control.- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 - A 200 Grand Crossing00:01:04 - The Failure of Modern Britain00:02:46 - Where Is The Tax Money Going?00:03:45 - NHS Inefficiency vs. Private Healthcare00:05:45 - Single Air Fresheners & £600 Bed Moves00:07:08 - The True Scale of Channel Crossings00:10:00 - UN Conventions & Albanian Marketing Campaigns00:12:30 - The Business Model: £3,000 Seats & TikTok Deals00:14:32 - The Deliveroo Black Market & Criminal Networks00:20:00 - What Are NGOs Actually Doing in Northern France?00:22:21 - Conditions in Calais & Human Exploitation00:26:34 - MOD Housing Contracts & Government Procurement00:31:28 - Where Do National Lottery Grants Go?00:37:38 - Undocumented Arrivals: Destroyed Passports on Planes00:41:21 - Demographic Shifts & The Risk of Civil Unrest00:44:25 - Legal Aid, Human Rights Laws & Border Enforcement00:47:31 - The Political Class vs. Productive Taxpayers00:52:48 - Eyewitness Report: The Ceuta Border Crisis01:05:08 - Repurposing Military Bases for Migrant Housing01:11:07 - Property Drop & High Street Decline in London01:15:00 - Building Parallel Institutions: The Wyvern Fellowship01:23:21 - Taking Back Local Control- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -CONTACT PETE› Website – http://petermccormack.com› Feedback – https://www.petermccormack.com/contact› Email – me@petermccormack.com› Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mccormack555/› X/Twitter – https://x.com/petermccormack/CONNECT WITH CALLUM SMILES› X/Twitter – https://x.com/FranklySpeakP› Website – https://www.callumsmilesmedia.com/SPONSORS› Venice AI – https://venice.ai/ – Code PETER15- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -LISTEN / SUBSCRIBE› Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/40ruY9K› Spotify: https://spoti.fi/3Wc94Vu› Fountain: https://bit.ly/FountainPM› YouTube: https://bit.ly/YouTube_PM› Rumble: https://bit.ly/RumblePMFILMED BY CURTIS TAYLOR› https://www.curttaylor.co.uk/› https://x.com/curttayloruk/EDITED BY CONOR MCCORMACK› https://x.com/ConorM04- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Hosted on Acast.
