Please consider supporting my channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠I teamed up with journalist Renate van der Zee to uncover the truth about Amsterdam’s Red Light District, and it’s far darker than I expected. This isn’t just about girls in windows or tourist fun—think pimps forcing women to earn $2,000 or face eating dog food, or a woman from Uganda trafficked, starved, and blackmailed with videos. Renate’s spent over a decade researching this, even working in a shelter for trafficking victims, and what she found is grim: 50-80% of these women are controlled by pimps or trafficked, and legalization isn’t fixing it—it’s making it worse.In this video, we dive into the real stories: manipulation by pimps, the racism behind who ends up here, and how tourists unknowingly keep it going. Renate used to think legal brothels were a smart idea, but after hearing from survivors—like one forced into a bondage brothel—she’s completely changed her mind. It’s heavy stuff. Watch to see why Amsterdam’s “clean” sex trade is a myth and what might actually help.

After the Southport stabbings many protests were planned around the UK. I went to the one in Hull organised by John Francis Gillings of the Hull Patriotic Protestors and United Hull. Gillings has links with far right groups Hull United and Patriot Alternative. I first saw the protest advertised by ActivePatriot aka Alan Leggett. I went to see what it was all about and if it was really the far right event the media portrayed it as. It quickly descended into racist riots and this is what I learned from the people there.
