In short
Kerry Voellner, owner of Manchester’s Lifestyle Lounge (a rebranded, private adult lifestyle/swingers club), discusses “cultural screening” at the door to prevent men she says treat the venue as a brothel and to protect women and vulnerable guests. She also criticizes public “sex parading” by adult performers (Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue) as misleading about swinging, and argues for safer environments for LGBTQI+ people, including trans women.
Guest backgrounds
Kerry Voellner runs the Lifestyle Lounge; she says she took over the former Adam and Eve’s sax club in 2022 and relaunched in April 2025. She describes herself as openly bisexual and a trained kickboxer. Liam (host) interviews her and references CCTV/voice notes.
Key claims
The club is 80% social with private floors for sex; non-members are screened. She claims specific groups (she names Albanians, and says she now excludes people from Afghanistan and Somalia) have repeatedly tried to force entry, demand “women/girls,” and assault staff/guests. She says she’s “not racist,” but “realist,” and that screening is necessary for safety. She claims Lily Phillips/Bonnie Blue’s content isn’t swinging and could degrade women.
Notable examples
A violent incident where men she says were not members kicked/attacked her manager at the doorway; she shows CCTV to police. Friday “payout” attempts she links to an Islamic centre nearby. A separate incident where a fan allegedly tried to attack her with a Zimmer frame, stopped by Turkish members. She also recounts her early work in the gay village and her support for trans people.

Light your candles, draw your pentagrams, and prepare for a supreme surprise. FX's American Horror Story 13. Now streaming on Hulu. You fell in love at First Crunch, and now the crispy chicken crunchwrap slider is back at Taco Bell. But with a twist, it's crispy all-white meat chicken nuggets inside a slider-sized crunch wrap. But now you can enjoy them with the kick of Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch. Or try the tortilla chip-coated nuggets on their own.
0:47They're waiting for you. The crispy chicken crunch wrap slider, a brand new classic, is back. Only at Taco Bell. I like men just as I like women. What's your favourite? Depends. Tough one, isn't it? I like both at the same time, if I'm being really honest, Liam. If I was to knock on your venue's door and say, can I come in, what would I be greeted with? No. People who can't understand English as a first language think it's a brothel, and it's not. We are now culturally screening people on the door. Every Friday, they must get the payout. Straight from the Islamic Centre, crisp£50 notes. We want women, we want women.
1:20They're not taking no for an answer. How does a 15-year-old girl cope when they're not taking no for an answer? We don't like people from Afghanistan or Somalia in now. 20 of them living in a flat, throwing rotten meat out the windows, nappies out the windows. We have a real problem, and we need to deal with it before this problem has gone past the point of no return. Young girl went missing last week. That's not on the news. Do you think I'm letting my nieces play out? It's like a war zone. People being scared to go out on their own streets in case your kid gets kidnapped. Now, Lily Phillips, why did you fall out of her?
1:47I'm telling you, none of them are slapped with a thousand people. It's absolute bullshit. Jealousy is a real dangerous trait. You know, just because you're a swinger doesn't make you a cheat. What's wrong with a pair of tits? Your kind of lifestyle is going to attract lunatics.
2:08I want to say a quick thank you to our sponsors Gold Seal. I use their products every single day and now I finally get to work with them. I use their products for anti-inflammatory, reduced anxiety, better sleep and mental clarity. I'm going to put a link to their website in the description along with the 10 % discount code for you to take advantage of. Go and have a look at their website, see if there's anything in there for you. I hope you enjoy this week's episode. and good health. Kerry. Liam. Thank you for coming on. Thank you for reaching out to me to want me to be the person you share your story with.
2:42Absolutely. I've seen the CCTV footage, which we can't put up online because it's now with the police, going to be used as evidence. We're going to come to that. I'm going to call it a harrowing scene, but you can explain in a minute. But before we get to that stage, because it was in the doorway at your place of work, which is an adult lifestyle business. That's correct. So can you tell me about your business? Yeah. We're called the Lifestyle Lounge. We were traditionally the oldest sax club in the UK that was there for 40 years and it was called Adam and Eve's. Now, it closed down during the pandemic, so it was left.
3:15I took it over in 2022. So it had been closed for three years. It had been running as a swingers bar for 40 years. When I took the club on in 2022, unfortunately, I took on the reputation. and no matter what I did to try and manage that reputation it kept becoming clear in waves that that the reputation was entrenched there was nothing much I could do to change it so we went back to the drawing board and said right well the lifestyle what I'm in is not this seedy place that everybody thinks it is it's vibrant it's all different people people wanting to enjoy themselves and themselves sexually and freely so we went back to the drawing board, I've got a team of managers and we decided to launch the Lifestyle Lounge because the lifestyle is now encompasses everything that's not vanilla, you know, swinging, kink, fetish, LGBT, anything like that.
4:07So we've gone through a major rehaul and a rebrand and we launched in April 2025, which is great. I've got new hosts, great staff. I've already got quite a large following myself and so have my staff. So we've made this work. And that's when obviously, because we work with people in the adult lifestyle, other people miscommunicate what that is. And we have now got to a point where we are now culturally screening people on the door. And that is because people wonder, and when I say culturally screening, I don't just mean people who are non-British, you know, we screen the British as well, because you may not culturally understand what our lifestyle is.
4:48What is your life? If I was to knock on your venue's door and say, can I come in, what would I be expected to be greeted with? No, because you're not a member. Okay, let's say I was a member. If you are a member, you'd come in, you'd probably know everybody anyway. It's not, people get this very, very muddy conception of what we are. We are a lifestyle and it's 80 % social. So if you came into my club as a member, to all intents and purposes, you wouldn't know you were in a sax club because it's a social club floor that I've built. So we've got a jacuzzi, a sauna, a pool table, a little social nooks, you know, dance floor area.
5:29It's only if you go up or down on other floors that you are then in private areas where consensual sex may or will happen. So this is where we get to the cultural screening because people, and especially people who can't understand English as a first language, think it's a brothel and it's not. So they think they're entitled to women and they're not, you know, and we deal with this every single day. You can imagine we're on a main commercial street in the middle of Salford, one of the busiest and, you know, most ethnically dense areas of Great Manchester, which isn't a bad thing, you know. The irony here is, for me, we culturally scream because we have a lot of people who, like I say, think it's a brothel, think they're getting to women, and a lot of it's people who are not born in this country.
6:13I'm going to be dead straightforward with you. The ironic thing here, Liam, is the street I'm on is a multicultural street and I'm the only British business. But it's not a bad thing because we all look after each other. We've got a Turkish community. The Turkish lads are great. Ten of them are my members. They come in, they know me. I care who stand out in the front having brews. We've got, you know, a Kurdish community, Polish community. We don't have problems with any of them. To all intents and purposes, I love having my business on that commercial street. We'd probably get protected more than if it was on a white street.
6:43I'm being really honest, you know. When that incident happened the other month and I sent you the footage, Liam, the whole street knew about it before I'd come back in work the next day and I had people coming up to me asking was I okay. Explain exactly what happened. So we are a full private members club and we've gone to full private members ever since the relaunch and a lot of this is to keep certain people out. So full private members is for you to become a member of my club you have to either come in with another member on their recommendation let's say or you have to apply via the website.
7:15We'll get your application, we'll screen it. we will then offer you to come in for an interview. I mean, even that screening on the website tells people we shouldn't be coming in, you know. It's one simple question. What do you understand about the lifestyle? Some of the answers we get. I don't know, do I get women? Fail me. You're not even getting through my door. You know, I'm screening this before it happens, you know. And what happened the other week when I sent you that footage, Liam, when I broke down the next day, I said, we've just been through a refurb. I've been doing this for three years.
7:46somebody's just kicked the shit out of my manager because they think they were getting to women and I'm cutting this right off I'm that incensed about it you know I'm not being funny I'm stood at the door I'm a grown woman I'm also a trained kickboxer so I'd probably kick this guy's head and let's have it right but he doesn't know that and I'm stood there my manager's stood there he's a big bloke there's two full-grown humans saying no no you're not coming in they weren't taking no for an answer. And this one of them shouting in my face, I am member. And I'm like, you can't be a member. I'm the only one who gives memberships and I don't know you from Adam.
8:21And he kicked off. And you've seen the footage. We cannot get them out the door. Now, this is one incident in three years. It's very isolated. However, it's enough for me. Where do you think they were from? I think they were from Albania. We have had a problem with Albanians trying to get in the door. We don't let them in. We don't let people from Afghanistan or Somalia in now. Any other country are probably all right, but there's three that we've had that many problems with them. And it's not us being racist, it's us being realist. You know, any business owner should sit down with their team once a month at least to say, where are we going right?
8:53Where are we going wrong? In my business, my whole business model is safety and safe spaces for people that might be vulnerable. I can't let people who don't have a cultural decent attitude towards women over my door and therefore put my guests in vulnerable positions. When you're doing your screening and you're looking for the cultural differences, give me a few typical questions that are on that screening form. Well, it depends on if it's online or at the door. And we do have screening questions at the door. If it's online, it's a very basic question. What's your understanding about our lifestyle?
9:26Just that one question, and you've got to see the answers we get. You know, it's a shame they're not asking questions like us on the border, isn't it? Because I think we'd be a lot bloody safer. It's true. It's true if people need to start having these conversations. I am one woman in a backstreet Little Swingers Bar in Salford in Manchester going to extreme lengths to protect her people. Why isn't the government doing it? It's a very, very serious and very honest frank question. And what frank questions do you ask them on the door when they're trying to get an entry? Oh, so are you part of the lifestyle?
9:54Of course they'll say, oh, yes. OK, can you prove to me you're part of the lifestyle, darling? Oh, yes. Go on then, what app are you on? I'm not on an app, off you go. We were literally at a point one time and we're refusing more people than letting in. And, you know, I've even had people say to me, well, you know, what if that guy was all right? What if he wasn't? I've got to make that call now, and we are stereotyping. And it's a shame, but we have got no choice. Do you get many people turn up in religious attire? We had this last week, and I've now banned religious attire. Do you know, there's one thing I can't stand, Liam, and it's a hypocrite, right?
10:29There's a mosque at the end of the street, sorry, an Islamic centre of studies at the end of my street, Liverpool Road where I have the business and every Friday, here's one for you, every Friday they must get the payout Friday afternoon because we're not open on Friday day times now but when we were we would have an influx of maybe six, seven every Friday trying to get in crisp£50 notes. I don't get crisp£50 notes and I work 100 hours a week. Where are they getting this money from? And they're there, we want women, we want women. You know what I mean? We're not closed, we're not open Friday afternoons now.
11:02So that managed that problem. But somebody turned up last week. He's walked straight from the Islamic centre, straight to Swinger's bar. I mean, I don't want to say the word hypocrisy, you know. Or haram. Yes. And you've got a big sign, you know, we want to kill the infidels on the side of your building. Don't come to my building then, you bloody hypocrite. No. And he just looked at me because we've got three doors. You've got the door onto the main street. You've got the security door and then you've got the third door. Now, sometimes if we don't no, we'll let somebody in the security door so we can see him more visually because we've got all these parameters of safety.
11:35And he'd ended up at the hatch and he went, yeah, can I come in? And I went, just looked him dead in the face and I went, no, mate. I've got no expression. And I think just that no, mate, just threw him. He didn't know what to do. And he went, why? And I went, that's your reason why. Shut the door behind you, hypocrite. Well, because what he was wearing. Yeah, yeah, don't go and call us infidels in one minute and walk down the street and go and get in a swingers bar the next. No, come on. was sat opposite an imam not too long ago. And I was asking him questions and I asked him a few bits and pieces as to what is and isn't haram, forbidding the Quran, behaviour that will not be accepted within Islam.
12:12And I can safely say that visiting sex, swinging, any kind of lifestyle for adults club is haram off the menu completely. So don't try and do it. Now, the old school, we call it the old school and the new school because the old people, the old club, like I say, I kind of only owned it for two and a half years. But before that, I have, you know, no control or say what happened. But it was, to all intents and purposes, a free-for-all until I come along. And I start to say, oh, this isn't my lifestyle. And I've completely flipped the dynamic. And there's a lot of people who don't come to the club anymore.
12:45And I'm glad, good riddance, seedy bastards. And then there's a lot of new people with a whole new wave and a new lifestyle. And I'm glad I've done what I've done. However, with that, we have got a team of people, some of them quite in the public eye as well, and we sit there and say, how do we want this club to work? How do we want people to feel? How do we ensure safety? And it comes down to everything, keeping the right people in and the wrong people out. And that is my hardest part of my job. The absolute hardest part of my job. I wonder what the police would think about your discriminatory screening process.
13:17If people want to call it discriminatory, I'm fine to be called discriminatory. Well, you know that they will. Because, you know, I've had Somalians trying to smash my windows, trying to get to women, you know, standing there, I want women, trying to smash them in my windows. I'm in a position where I've got to provide safe spaces and I cannot practice what I preach. If I'm letting cultures in who think that raping women is normal, you know, I'm not saying not every Somalian couldn't come in, you know. There might be a case where one's westernised and he's a very nice person and if that's the case, then yeah, okay.
13:47But my personal experiences, I lost my home in 2017 because of the Somalian influx. I lived in a place called Old Trafford, which is on the border of Moss Side. Now, I moved to Moss, I'll call it Moss Side. I moved to Old Trafford in 2007. It was a highly multicultural area and I loved it. I was the only white girl on my landing and I loved it. Let's get one thing straight. Black people, when they came to this country, they embraced our cultures. You know, my granddad, his sister's married black men. My dad, his sister's married black men. So all I've known all my life is multicultural in the correct way, you know.
14:25Black people came to our country. They brought music. They brought the food. They integrated, hence why there's so many mixed race, beautiful people in the country, you know. Black and white people, a team in forcing up like never before. I'd have a club full of black people before anything else, you know. Black people are not the problem. Black people are fighting for us. it's people of black coloured skin from different countries, like Somalia, who don't have any respect to women. Rape is normal. I've had them trying to smash through my windows. What other cultural misunderstandings have you experienced?
14:54We've had cultural misunderstandings from white guys. Like I say, this isn't just an ethnic issue. Give me some examples of that. I remember once I was at the hatch and two lads, it was dinner time. We used to open in the day we don't anymore. We're actually going to be a photo studio through the day. and they've both got branded jumpers on, you know, gardening jumpers. Dead on 12 o 'clock, Liam. I know what you think this is, guys. One of them stood there and I'd actually seen him nudge his mate, right? So, can I help you, lads? Because I'm a bit feisty on the door, as you can imagine. And one of them has obviously egged the other one on.
15:27He's like, so his mate, he went, yeah, got any girls for me? And I went, got your shoes on? He went, yeah. And he went, off you fuck then. And he just went, he just looked at his mate and he went, I think we better go. I said, I think you better add. So, yeah, we get it all. It's not just set prescription to one kind of person. We get cultural misunderstandings all the time. But it's always on the front door, I suppose, if you don't let them pass. So your members are nice and safe. Yeah, the members are great. I mean, you know, we will give people chances. You know, we've got, like I say, we've got a big Turkish community.
16:00I'd have a club full of Turkish people, beautiful, beautiful people. We have a big Indian community. We have, I mean, like I say, people don't realise our lifestyle. I've got doctors on my books, scientists, teachers. Our lifestyle is full of people you would never even imagine. We have a couple of police on my books, you know. Oh, I bet you do. Yeah, not like that. It was funny. I actually went to Parklife a couple of weeks ago with a friend. And as we've gone in, there's two policemen stood there. And I've got to think about uniforms and I don't make any bones of that. So as of that, I'm like, hiya guys, can I have a picture with you?
16:35And one of them went, why are you a celebrity? and I went no and the other one went yeah but you're well known aren't you I know who you are and I went oh really and he went yeah I follow you online I think what you're doing is great I had a picture with these two guys and I'm like you know the police are great with us the police are wholly supportive we've had when they came out that night and well obviously the story I'm going to tell you shortly they were so respectful of our environment and they come in and I said look I'm going to move all my guests to the other room would you mind and I actually sent a letter to their seniors just saying, I just want to let you know, your lads and girls have done an exemplary job.
17:13You know, it must be so hard for them in this sticky situation because I'm there. I was in tears that night. I said, somebody just battered my manager because I think they're getting to women. And you could see that they wanted to say something, but legally they're not allowed to because of all the red tape. You know, we're not allowed to say anything anymore, are we? Did it scare you? Yeah, I nearly closed the business the next day. You don't strike me as someone that scares easy? I'm not. I'm not really scared of anyone. But if it comes to people I'm there to protect and if I can't protect them, then, yeah, I am scared.
17:42But like I say, it's one incident. We can't have any more cameras and we've got a big police camera over. In terms of security, we're up at the top. We're doing everything that we can. But we have no control over attitudes and behaviours that walk through the door. You know, we try everything. We've got a membership form. We've got rules. We've got everything. And no matter how you try and tell people, they just won't take no for an answer. I mean, these two blokes, Liam, you know, I'm outside saying no, no, no. One of them's screaming, I am member, I am member. So my manager has gone to open the doors to let them out as your assertiveness training tells you to do.
18:18You know, you go and open the door. That's your way out. You know that yourself being in security. And he's gone to let them out. This young man slammed the door in his face, nearly smacked his face in with it, and then they just jumped all over him. You've seen the footage itself. Two of them jumped all over him, and they were like feral, rabid dogs. One of them was a big guy. Yeah, one of them's like six, yeah. And he completely overpowered your old man. Yes, yeah. Now, I've already barred him before. Now, so the taller one, I'd seen him before, and he'd actually been in the club, and he would pesty towards a woman.
18:51I barred him, don't ever come back. What happened when we rebranded, they clearly must have thought I didn't own that business and it wasn't me that was still in the new business so he's come back thinking it's a whole fresh business which it is but doesn't know that I'm there so as soon as I've seen him I've just put him on the watch to the staff that he's not allowed in so that's when it happened we've gone his mate was with him we don't have two blokes together none of them are members you're only allowed in if you remember no matter how hard they were trying again you're not getting in you know and no matter what we were telling and they're just not taking no for an answer.
19:23Now, here's another question, Liam, right? I'm a grown adult. So, Stuart, they're not taking no for an answer. How does a 15-year-old girl cope when you're not taking no for an answer? Do you know what? I mean, this is fucking serious business now. I lost my home in 2017 through the Somali influx. I was living with a black man, so I'm not racist. Living with a black man, I went to take my stepson on the park. He was a young boy of mixed colour, and I got told to get off the park because I was white. I went back to my ex-partner that day and I said, we can't bring, I'm not going to obviously name names, but we can't bring Little Unup Rounder.
19:58I was moved out a week later. I was just about to sign the paperwork to buy that home. I loved that home, even though it was right in the middle of Moss Side. I loved it. The black people and the white people got on. You know, I'd walk past the local pub, the Seahawk, and all the black guys would be out there drinking. Yeah, all right, shawty. And I'd be like, all right, guys. We loved it. Never had a problem. Never had any of this. And then in 2017, there was a Somali influx in the flats where I lived. There'd be 20 of them living in a flat. They were throwing rotten meat out the windows, nappies out the windows.
20:27Rats started to form. You'd get in the lift, they took the backs to you. And then another icing on the cake was when I was told I wasn't allowed to use a certain island because I was white. And then I just said, I've had enough. This is not getting any better. That was in the space of two months. Ten years ago now, can you imagine what it'd be like now? It's like a war zone. So I lost my home in 2017 through the Somalian flux. I've now got this problem on my door where I've got them trying to smash my windows. I want woman. And now I live in Cheshire, right near Crestocourt Hotel, where they're all outside there cooking and smoking.
21:01Young girl went missing last week. That's not on the news. Do you think I'm letting my nieces play out in my garden? No. So it's the thing is, Liam, I've come to your show because this is dripping down on people like me. This is ground level stuff. You know, you've got all these posh people in the nice posh houses. It's not happening to them. So it's okay for them to vote what they think's right. you wait till you walk in my shoes and you've got a duty of care to protect people and you've got people trying to smash through your windows. I want women. Not on my watch. So if I'm racist for trying to stop certain people trying to get to women, to attack women in my club, then I'm racist.
21:33Not bothered. It's got to a point now. I think people really need to open their eyes and see how this is affecting people because it's affecting me. Well, when it's affecting women and children, you have to make a stand. Of course. And I admire you for that. There'll be people watching this and they'll find it unbelievable that there is an anti-white movement. There is an anti-white movement. Especially like up north. Yeah. It's insane. The amount of northerners that come to me and say, Liam, you won't believe this. And they send me videos that they can't... Yeah, like I said. They're too frightened to publish them online.
22:00Yeah. I mean, you've got really intelligent black voices out there now who are sticking up for the anti-white movement. Look at... Is it Kami Badenock? I can never say a name. Kami Badenock? Kami Badenock. Kami Badenock. I can never say a name. If that lady is not an example of what pure immigration should look like, You know, her parents came over legally. They studied. They sent her to private school. Now look at, you know, a leader of a political party. That is what immigration looks like. That is what successful immigration looks like, you know. That's what integration looks like. Integration, yes.
Read the full transcript
22:32Assimilation. Absolutely. That is what you, you know, my nephew, Jean-Paul, he's a black man. He's just come out of university. He's going to America to, you know, to study law. I've never been so proud. That is what integration looks like. Not people being scared to go out on their own streets in case your kid gets kidnapped. No. It needs to stop. And I'm not being funny, but some of the things I've seen on that door, I mean, even like some of the questions we get on our screening online is ridiculous. You know, I played you a voice recording before, didn't I? Have you know somebody thinking he's going to get to a girl in my club?
23:08It is important that I put, because obviously we can't publish that. Yeah. Because if it jeopardises the case, I don't want to be responsible for that. But I want the viewers and listeners to take note that I've listened to what Kerry brought in. I've seen CCTV footage. I've listened to voice notes of phone recordings of men, clearly foreign men, asking if there's girls available. Not ladies, not women, girls, which is, I believe this is what's inspired you to want to come and share your story with me. Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, you know, people are ringing up, you know, do you have girls for me?
23:44Well, that question in itself, come on, Liam, what are we dealing with? And that's not to say that white middle-aged men don't do the same, but it's okay to speak about them. Yes, yes. No one's scared to call out the nonce white guy. Yeah. And so they shouldn't be, but the rules should apply across the board. Yeah, exactly. You know, I'm not saying we don't have problems with white guys. We have, but when we're sat back looking at it from a very top level, 90 % of the issues are with people of foreign origin. Now, Lily Phillips, she's not foreign. Why did you fall out of her? I've not fell out with her.
24:18I've never met the girl, but I had an email from her PA. Could she perform at my club? And the answer was a clear no. Because what Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue are doing isn't swinging. It is so far from swinging, it couldn't be any further. But what they are doing is they are sending the wrong message out, what swinging is. And again, it brings it back to, you know, miscommunication. You've got people coming over on votes and they're getting given phones, okay? Then they're obviously going to go on Facebook. Now, I went through about a month of every time I went on Facebook, seeing that Bonnie Blue's face, and I'm getting to the point where I just want to smack her, and she's probably a really nice girl.
24:56But I'm don't, you know, when you're doom scrolling, Bonnie Blue, Lily Phillips, these guys are coming off votes. Bonnie, you're giving the wrong message, all white girls like all that. I don't be surprised if Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue's name isn't cited in gang-raping cases in court in the future because you are sending the wrong message out to women. Now, this email was, can she perform? And I just said, no, we won't facilitate that because I don't have to give any kind of explanation. And then the woman challenged me, can you tell us why for future reference? Well, yeah, because it won't be a future reference because you're not coming to my club and it's completely not what swinging is.
25:31And here's the thing, they were only bringing one actor and she wanted my members to be part of it. Oh really? Yes really and I can show you that email as well Liam because that whole thing is staged. For somebody who manages big scale events of a thousand people or more and have done for a very long time I'm telling you none of them are slept with a thousand people. It's absolute bullshit. Very very cleverly staged I'll give them that but it's bullshit but while they're doing all this demonization you know again it's dripping and down to businesses like me. I had an inquiry yesterday. You know, we've been looking in the swinging scene.
26:05No, you've not even been looking at Bonnie Blue and Lily Phillips, nothing to do the swinging scene. And we'd like to ask you a question. I'm like, go on. I always know where it's going. So I said, go on, lad. I said, you know, we do newbie nights every Thursday if you want to come and meet me. No, me and my girlfriend have been talking. We'd like to get involved, but we'd like to bring her mum. The answers are clear, no. So basically he's asking me, can he bring his girlfriend and his girlfriend's mum for a threesome at my club? No, Paul, you can't. It's incest and it's disgusting. And all these inquiries have only seemed to have risen up since them two have been parading themselves online.
26:38And here's the other one, Liam, both saying you're pregnant at the same time. Well, that's funny because you're suddenly not pregnant anymore. You know, what happened? Did you both have a miscarriage at the same time? Did you both have abortions at the same time? Or are you both lying through your back teeth for media publicity and likes. I know it's the latter. But you've got women out there who can't have children. You know, when you're parading yourself all over, a thousand baby daddies and all that, it's really, really grotty journalism. And even the people who are printing it should actually be looking at themselves now thinking, you know, it's not news, that, is it?
27:09It's not news. It's debauchery and degrading to women. And that's from somebody who owns a sex club. Well, here we go. You own a sex club. You're a swinger by your own admission. Where do we draw the line with this modern-day degeneracy? I totally understand that's a very good question. The swinging environment draws the line because it's all private and indoors. But where is the line? You know, you've got privacy and you've got people who won't like myself. Okay, I'll use myself as an example. I'm very happily single. I'm a career lady. I don't want a relationship. I have a couple of couples I have a bit of fun with.
27:39I'd call myself a soft swinger. But I don't go and parade myself publicly going and, you know, doing all kinds of porn and stuff. There's nothing wrong with porn. You know, I've got a lot of friends who are porn stars. But when you're actually lying and you're getting to a point of you're scraping the bottom of the barrel, you're wanting to put yourself in a cage to be in a petting zoo. Come on, there's got to be a line. That is a line. That has nothing to do with swinging. You know, swinging is behind closed doors. What they're doing is not. And it's public parading just for degradation. There's a big difference.
28:08There's a huge difference. Your whole take on the whole Lily Phillips and Bonnie Blue thing. Yeah. You're not the first person to say that. Let's get it right. Let's put it to the bones. I'm a woman who owns a sex club. and if the sex clubs don't want you, what's that saying, darling? You mentioned to me that you get or you have been mistaken for a prostitute yourself. Yeah, we get that a lot. I mean, you've met my best mate who's outside the studios. We stand outside the club and people drive past like, hey, prostitute, and I go, swing it, you da. Like that. And then the Turkish lads will be like, go on.
28:40It's quite funny because I actually got mildly attacked a couple of years ago, some fan who'd got a bit obsessed and I'm actually on the door of the club and he had a Zimmer frame of all fucking things and he tried to attack me with his Zimmer frame. I'm coming in. I'm like, no, you're not. The Turkish lads come out, seeing what had happened and one of them baits him and said, I think you better go pal before we remove you sort of thing. And he looked at him and I looked at him. So they all look at, you know, we look after each other sort of thing. And it's very, like I say, it's very, very, very strange.
29:12You'll have to come one day. If you're ever in Manchester, still have to come and visit us. But like I say, my whole street is multicultural. I'll have to bloody decline. Yeah, I get free membership, Liam. But, you know, everybody looks after each other and they know, you know, they just see me as a businesswoman. And that was one of the things I was very conscious of when I thought the business because of how multicultural the street was. You know, are we going to be accepted? Are people going to think this? And we couldn't have been accepted more, you know. And my landlord's a Kurdish guy, you know, and he loves what we do, you know.
29:42So we are very, very, very well integrated. It's a brilliant street we're on. But like I say, there's certain cultures we just cannot let in because they're the way they've acted. And it's not like it's, you know, we've had it a few times. Do you keep a supply of prayer mats in your sex club? Absolutely fucking not. I'll tell you what, I'd probably double my door take if I did. It's like I say, you know, I've took hits on my door. I've took hits of thousands on my door. So, you know, even like we're saying culturally screen, it comes to, you know, British lads, I'm not letting the stag do crew in, you know, because they're not there to swing.
30:18They're there because they think they're getting a shag. There's a totally, totally different thing. So your establishment isn't a covert brothel? No, absolutely not. As far from it as you could think it is. I'd say it's more of a social club with a bit of a kinky twist. With a twist? Yeah, yeah. So all members are free to sleep with one another if they feel the need? If they want to. Like I say, most people know each other. Do you get any awkward situations where someone wants to and the other doesn't really fancy them and it's a bit like... Oh, that happens all the time. Yeah, that happens all the time.
30:44That's dynamics, but I don't really get involved with that. I provide the facilities. I do the entertainment. We do things like Kerry's Kinky Quiz on a Thursday. You know, when your job entails knowing how many calories of sperm are in a teaspoon, you know you've hit gold and you'd say the question, you know, how many calories are in a teaspoon of sperm? You see all the women doing this. But yeah, we do the Kinky Quiz. We do Buttplug Bingo. We do all sorts, you know. Butt plug bingo. Yeah, that was just a name we came up with and it stuck. We don't use butt plugs or anything. You might win a packet of butt plugs for winning, you know.
31:19We do all sorts and it's very, very entertainment value. People, I mean, we have a lot of straight people, a lot of non-swingers in our environment and they come because they love the lifestyle. You know, we went to an awards night on Friday. I took 32 people with me and about half of them weren't swingers. They just love the lifestyle, love what we've achieved. Just a bunch of perverts, isn't they? Yeah, yeah. I mean, I have some of my brothers working for me. You know, they'll work behind the bar. They won't leave the bar. It's not their scene. They won't leave the bar, but they love the bar.
31:47They love the people. What's a swing-a-thon? Swing-a-thon is the UK's biggest sex festival. So it's basically a festival for everybody in the lifestyle to enjoy themselves, be sexually free. I'm a DJ there. They have lots of DJs, performance stores. It's essentially a festival as like any other, but for the adult world. And I love being part of it. It's honestly the best three days of the year. Was it marquees outside with separate rooms to do your thing? All sorts. All sorts. So you've got all the private marquees because people can obviously prepay for their little tents, whatever they're called, little teepees.
32:23And then we'll have a main stage. We'll have lots of different play tents. People can go and play with each other if they want to. Bars, stalls. So you play a role in it as well? I'm a DJ and an organiser. Yeah, I'm one of the organisers. Well, I'm an assisting organiser. The owners, Matt and Stacey, are two of my best friends. Is there any cultural screening for the Swingathon? Oh, yes, yes. Some of the emails we get. So Matt's biggest job, we've obviously got loads of WhatsApp groups and we get sent all the kind of enquiries that we get. And we had one yesterday. You are bastard. We want that.
32:59And so obviously Matt's saying, you're not, definitely not coming in the festival, mate. And then he just got sent this big barrage of abuse. Very, very broken English. Yeah, we will make sure that you're on certain apps, you've got certain verifications, or you have to be a member of a club. You can't just go into that festival. You wouldn't, with all due respect, you wouldn't just be able to get in. Unless you come in on my recommendation, of course. So it's got to be, you know, recommendation of somebody through a club or through certain verifications. It's very, very strict. You couldn't just get in that festival.
33:29What's the capacity? Might be 1 ,000 this year. I think it's 1 ,000 this year. So the swinging scene is a growing scene? It's massive. It's huge. It's a lot bigger than I ever anticipated when I went into it. It's huge and it's just growing daily. And we do a newbie night every Thursday. We have new couples every single week. And like I say, a lot of people come. And what I say to people is, please don't come into the club with the notions of sex. You're not here to have sex. You are here to meet new friends. learn about an environment and if anything does happen it's a bonus it might not happen for weeks it might not happen at all you know we've had couples who've come in they've really enjoyed you know spending time with us the club and they've said you know it's not really for us this sex side but can we come back as non-swingers of course you can we have it's very ironic because you say from my club a sex club than you are in any club in manchester because we because people if you were not a member on the database bearing in mind if you are a member of the database all your data is captured if you are not a member and you do come in as a guest you have to register your passport and that gets kept for six months and I tell you that gets kept for six months that deterrent on the door stops bullshit behind it it's all about door management and I've learned more about door management in the past three years than anything and I'm actually at a point now where I feel there would be less police call out reps less people getting stabbed spikes and everything if they had adopted this model in every pub and club across Britain nobody had a problem in Covid scanning the phone because they wanted a pint, did they?
34:55Why would people have a problem now? I tell you what, if you brought that, in fact, you brought my structure in, so pubs and clubs across the UK, the crime rate in the pubs would go like that. And I know that because when the police have been in my club and I've shown them the date structure, one of the, it was actually a licensing officer, said to me, he went, do you know what, love? He said, if every establishment run it like this, he went, my job would be easy. Well done. And I do think that business model now, we're at a point where people don't understand our cultures and that's just not in the adult game.
35:21That's just in the normal socialising game. You know, you go to Manchester. I've stopped going out in Manchester now. I don't go out in Manchester. You guarantee every time you go out in Manchester, someone's getting their head kits in, someone's forcing someone to take coke in the toilets, people are stabbing each other. The clubs are pretty empty in Manchester. Like the gay villages, I know it. I was going there for 10 years, 20 years. I worked there practically since being 15, as was the culture then. And it was a vibrant community then. No, it's not. There's lads on bikes. The gay people and the trans people don't feel safe.
35:51Canal Street is nothing like it used to be. Hence why I'm going to recreate a bit of that mine. You know, these problems in pubs and clubs and alcohol being a big thing, you know, is ruining people's social lives. Strip it back to basics, you know. Get people to be accountable and show their ID. If you've got nothing to hide, what's the problem? You know, I honestly think it's a point where this needs to happen in the UK. FX's American Horror Story returns for an unrivaled 13th instalment with the iconic horrors you love to fear and an all-star cast reprising fan-favorite roles. Light your candles, draw your pentagrams, and prepare for a supreme surprise.
36:35FX's American Horror Story 13. Now streaming on Hulu. You fell in love at First Crunch, and now the crispy chicken crunchwrap slider is back at Taco Bell. But with a twist, it's crispy all-white meat chicken nuggets inside a slider-sized crunch wrap. But now you can enjoy them with the kick of Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch. Or try the tortilla chip-coated nuggets on their own. They're waiting for you. The Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider, a brand new classic, is back. Only at Taco Bell. You mentioned the LGBTQ movement or LGBT. But you've also told me that you speak and create safe spaces for the LGBTQI plus community.
37:21So that's all of them. So what is it you do and what compels you to do that? Well, actually, I'm openly bisexual myself. So when I was 16, I was in the care system. I couldn't live with my parents, long story. I ended up in a place called Walter Greenwood Court, which was run by social services. all the naughty kids went there right in the middle of Salford Precinct it was rough it was rough and my first job was actually working in the gay village as a glass collector at a place called the Hollywood Show Bar by a lady called Julie now I was working for Julie for about two months and I loved her she'd become a second mum she took me under her wing she always told me everything would be okay she paid me a little bit of extra wages she was a mum to me then I seen her on Trisha she used to be called George and I had no idea She'd gone through the whole trans and she then gave me a book from George to Julia.
38:15Anybody can Google this. And she was the most incredible woman I ever met. She collapsed in Canal Street because obviously she'd been through the whole change. They thought, well, she was a woman, so they took her to hospital, give her a D &C because they thought she was having a miscarriage. She wasn't, nearly ripped her insides out. She nearly died. She went to prison mid-trans, got her head kicked in and she came out and she fought and fought and fought to be herself. and I was privileged to be her daughter for a short time. Does that scenario not make you more inclined for men to identify as men irrespective of how they feel because they nearly killed him?
38:51Yeah, right. So I've... Do you know what I mean? If it was called correctly biologically... I get what you mean. I do understand what you mean. But for me, I've got a lot of trans friends, you know, And I don't think us as people can say there's no thing as trans unless it's happened to us. You know, you wouldn't know unless it's happened to you. You know, I've got a trans friend who tried to throw herself in front of a train because she lost all her family and her friends, you know. I've got another trans friend who actually doesn't want peanuts and she cries. I just want it off me. I've got feelings down there.
39:23We can't say there's no such thing as trans unless it's not happened to us. Now, I've worked with trans people for most of my life and I've seen the most harrowing case studies, you know, and I just don't think anybody has a right to say there's no such thing unless it's happened to them. You know, we're not medical scientists, we're not biologists. All this whole new movement, this anti-trans movement, is based on hatred of people who've got no medical or scientific background. You know, writing fairy stories and then you think you've got such a prowess and such a social say in society. What, because you've got money?
39:54You know, we were all all right a couple of months ago and suddenly there's been an attack on the trans. Next thing you know, I won't be allowed to be bisexual. You know, at the end of the day, live and let live. I will provide safe spaces for trans ladies. I've got a massive trans following and that's something I will never, ever stop doing. So do you think a woman can have a penis? Yeah, unless she's got... If a woman is born a woman, is a woman inside and is a man outside, then yeah, until she gets it taken off. I do believe a woman can be trapped in a man's body. I absolutely believe that.
40:25And that's because I've got friends. You know, you have a look in a trans girl's eyes, somebody who's that lost and desperate. I have. I've interviewed a trans man and a trans woman yeah you've seen both sides of it yeah I've interviewed both but I still don't buy into their fantasy well we're going to have to agree to disagree on this Liam we agree on most things we're going to have to agree to disagree on this that's what this show's all about of course it is and that's what I really respect and like about you there'll be people watching this that are that are on the same page as you and there'll be other people saying well of course biologically but this will be good for the comments yeah and I think you know at the end of the day people are entitled to their opinion you know again we don't have to force opinions on people and that's getting back to the kind of the crust of what we're talking about.
41:04You know, people are coming to this country and forcing their objectives onto us. Well, no, you come to the country, you embrace our country. You're very much a live and let live kind of person, aren't you? I am, yeah. And I think, you know, I've been beaten up because of my sexuality. Could I have a vagina? No, because unless you're a woman trapped in a man's body. So if I felt like a woman, could I have a vagina? You could buy them these days, couldn't you? Yeah. Let's change the subject. Go on, we'll move on. Okay, so what does the TQIA stand for? I think it's intersexual and asexual. I don't know.
41:41I've never met. We just open up our doors to anyone. I don't think I've ever met anybody who hits that category, but I'm sure they're out there. And what about the pluses? Is there minor attractive person? Absolutely not. No, that shouldn't even be a thing. The LGBTQ movement, people who just want to live how they live. How I describe this to people, Liam Wright, Say me and you were sat in a restaurant and there's a couple of people sat over there and one of them's a trans lady. We're having a conversation. Does her having that meal affect us? It depends. Does it affect us? Her having that meal over there and us having this conversation, having a meal together, does that affect us?
42:15It depends if it makes my vagina rich. So the answer is no, it doesn't affect it. No, of course it don't. So why does what they do in their life affect us in our lives? I think the bone of contention is people that are trying to ram their beliefs down people's throats. But the trans people out there, they don't want that. Everything, there's a process in marketing. I thought we was moving on from trans. I'm just going to say this one thing. You sat me back in. There's one thing I am going to say about this. Can't you have a penis? I've got a big strap on, yeah. I've got a lovely big collection of them.
42:44I'm in a real one with foreskin and everything. And I wouldn't go that far. One thing I will say, though, is the whole thing has been gamified. So in marketing, there's a thing called gamification where they will make something cartoonised, a bit like they did it in France, they did it with the depictions of Mohammed, didn't they? They gamified it, the cartoon. That's the one, the Charlie Hebdo. Horrendous. They've kind of done the same thing with the trans movement. You know, they're making out that if trans ladies, you know, you're going to get a bloke walking into the toilets where these kids with a wig on and he's suddenly gone from Simon to Susan.
43:19That's the kind of narrative they've gone down. What they've not realised is you've got trans ladies who might have gone through the change 30 years ago and all they ever know is living as a woman and then suddenly you've got to go in a bloke toilet? What, because of someone's hatred and money? It's a mess. So what's your opinion of J.K. Rowling? It doesn't need to be voiced. What about Kelly J. Keene? I love her. I don't know who she is. Oh, she's a marvellous woman. Oh, I've not. She's been here. Oh, is she? I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, she's great for females. Yeah, she puts the power back in there.
43:46Not like the Spice Girls did. I mean, she really puts the power into females. You recently won a court case. Yes. Something to do with discrimination? Yes. I know we touched base on that, but let's fire into that. So, as you know, I'm involved with a festival called Swingathon. Matt, the owner, and his wife, Stacey, are two of my closest friends. Now, what happened in 2023, we had the festival all laid out, all ready to go. Six days before the festival got hauled into court, and it was a licensing court, and what had happened was it was basically this policeman, you know, not my back garden sort of thing, and he'd objected the whole thing.
44:22now how it was insinuated gamification again was that it was just going to be six blokes in towels around a little tent in a field not that it's a full festival with a full operational business model and there's a lot of business owners behind this so um i said to matthew and marta said we're going to write a justification document of why this festival should go ahead so we did we did a 10-page document on you know we're all private members clubs who are running the festival therefore we're not open to public scrutiny anyway you know this is creating jobs it's creating voluntary opportunities our festival doesn't have one piece of rubbish every single person gets on there you know gets the bags together by the time that festival's finished you wouldn't even know the festival had taken place very different to the other festivals and we always seem to be stereotyped and put down and slagged off and it's completely opposite it's very respectful so anyway we went to court and I'll never forget it Liam there was just Matthew and I and we were outnumbered by about 16 to 2.
45:20And when we went in, we gave this document out, we'd printed it out, and you could see the police were all here in the corner and this guy, this one particular guy, he just looked at it and his jaw dropped, you know, because we'd put some really intense research into this. We also had a supporting letter from Newcastle University because I do a lot of work with them and a professor I'm working with about the swinging world, you know, and we're actually contributing to academia with some of the stuff that we're doing. What about biology? No good apology. So it was really weird because this lady who was a barrister, bearing in mind she's took a bar exam for the police, you know, you should be educated to a level where you know about discrimination.
45:59I'm no barrister, but I've got a journalism degree, you know, and even I know that, so come on, it was a bit like, it was very shoddy how they approached it. They mustn't have done any research like we did. They must have thought, we've got this in the bag, we're just going, tell them the festival's over. They weren't ready for us doing a bit of research and sticking up for ourselves. And I'll never forget it till the day I die, and I talk about this quite publicly now. This woman stood up and she'd give her opening statement and she literally went like this, and I'm going to copy it, exactly what she did.
46:26She went, I hope I've painted a picture of these types of people. I remember just looking at her thinking, you're going to regret that, honey. So yeah, I stood up and I said, yeah, I said, this lady has certainly painted a picture, you know, but unfortunately she's done it with imagination and assumption. I'm here with data and facts. and it just went on. Then it was, you know, we're scared about children breaking into the festival. Insinuating borderline that, you know, that children, we're at risk to children. It was all these borderline insinuations. You know, in the back of my head, I'm like, I'm more concerned about children being on the A1 without the parents.
47:02It's on the A1. Come on, Liam. You know, anything. And it got to the stage where towards the end of it, I even said to the court, this woman is now scraping the bottom of the barrel. She's actually embarrassing herself. One of the other things, Here's a Google map of the village affected. And I went, that's the Google map of the equestrian centre we've rented. Oh, my God, this is getting beyond incompetent. So, yeah, we pulled them on incompetence, basically. Everything they threw at us, we threw it back and we got out. We come out and we ended up in the front page of the press next day. But you were successful?
47:33Successful, yeah. The outcome went in your favour? The outcome went in our favour and very, very oddly, now the council are completely supportive. They couldn't be more supportive. It's literally done a 360 turnaround. And that, again, it's a lot of the press coverage. You know, last year, the Ladbible quoted me when I'd never spoke to them. Also, there was loads of articles, you know, the villagers can hear screaming, we're four and a half miles away from a village. How can they hear screaming? I was a sound engineer for years, you can't hear no screaming. Again, it's just marring the environment.
48:08So the press, we've actually done a bit of a turnaround with the press, The press, the sun especially, have been really supportive. They couldn't be more supportive. You know, they've done an article on my club opening. They've done an article on Swingathon. They've actually flown over to Spain last year when we got with the Swingathon team. I went to Gran Canaria and did a video of us all in Spain on the nudist beach and all that, enjoying ourselves. So the sun are really supportive. The other press are starting to really change. Three years ago it would have been different. Now, looking at last year's articles, it's changed massively.
48:39but there are the press that have did lie because they took transcripts and words from stuff they've never been interviewed like quoting me and Ladbible I've never spoke to them so there's a lot of things like that that go on that's just again part of the reason I left journalism is because I wanted to be a journalist but I quickly realised from going back about 15 years now Liam that when you are a journalist as we knew it things have radically changed with radical journalism and rebel journalism, as you know, things like you're doing. I think this is the only way forward. You know, the mainstream media is not covering the real things.
49:13They're not on our side. They're not on our side. They're on their own side. They're on their own side, but their own side is ruining our country. You know, it's great having all this lefty, you know, all this lefty, let's love everyone, you know, blah, blah, blah. And it's like, come on. There was a Facebook comment the other day. Some woman had put, I'd love a street full of immigrants. I would if they're the right immigrants. I've got a street full of immigrants where I work. I love it. but the way she was contextualising it was you know the people who were coming over illegally and I put under it with all due respect darling I lost my home in 2017 because of them I'm now struggling on my door and I now can't let my children play out and my nieces play out because of them so when you're in your nice area you haven't got room to speak because this isn't affecting you it's called the proximity effect so the proximity effect is how much you will do when something is that close to you in proximity for you to make change it was very weird my first academic paper was actually wrote about the proximity effects in hyperlocal journalism because that's what I wanted to do.
50:08I was actually a hyperlocal journalist. I run Old Trafford News for two years. We took it from print to digital and that was, I worked with Mothers Against Gangs. Mothers with guns. Mothers with guns. Might as well be in Manchester. You're going to need them now, aren't you? But Mothers Against Gangs, that was one of the projects I worked with, you know, and then again, 2010, All the money was stripped away for local charities. Our newspaper didn't continue. And that was a newspaper that was really bringing people together from all aspects of the community. But again, everything comes down to money and funding.
50:44Well, I could see you coming back full circle and being an independent journalist yourself. I'd like to do that. I'd be doing this. Adult glamour modelling. Yes. Is that past or present? Present. So that's what you're doing now? I do bits of it, yeah. Yeah, I've done quite a bit of it. And what does that entail? It takes getting your kit off. I love it. Getting your willy out. Yeah, well, my plastic one. No, I love it. I lost a lot of weight. I was in a very abusive relationship. I actually got gilleted at the altar. Four weeks before my wedding day, I found out that my partner was sleeping with his boss.
51:23We'd just had a joint stag and henday. We'd had about 250 people at a big party. I had no idea it was coming Was this boss man or woman? Woman Okay Yes You never can tell you mob You never know with us a lot do you? But yeah I got tilted at the altar And I'd put on a lot of weight Because I'd lived for him You know I slowly started disassociating with my friends Slowly my life was about his life And when you're in that kind of abusive relationship Not physical but emotional and mental you lose all your character I'm a completely different person than I was five years ago you wouldn't have recognized me five years ago I was a size 18 and put a lot of weight on and like I said I lived for him then when that happened I started to go on a bit more of a self-discovery journey you know I wanted to go back to being slim and healthier then when obviously I took the club on I ended up getting involved with Twisted Edge magazine good friends of mine and I did a couple of photo shoots and then I got somebody actually found me on Instagram said we really like you know your style your dynamic and it just went from there so I ended up being published all over the world now which is I'm quite proud of considering I was quite a big girl as well yeah good for you thank you cutting weight isn't easy it's not it's not we do it all from emotion especially if you're in a bad place we eat for comfort not for hunger yes and if you're in a bad place losing weight's the hardest thing food is my go to if there's any problems this is why I've started to do a lot of I've had so many TikToks taken down else I would have had a lot more followers.
52:53But this is why I've started to do a lot of the shake videos and stuff because I have a lot of women. I probably have more female followers than male followers. And I think that's because of how I talk about my sexuality and I talk about you can change and, you know, drop parameters of jealousy, this kind of stuff. But I do, I've started to do a lot of fitness videos and a lot of shake videos, you know, protein shakes. And the people that are messaging me off it, you know, saying I just want to say thank you. We don't want to say it publicly because, you know, I'm on my own little journey. and my husband doesn't know I'm on a diet.
53:22I'm trying to do this. I have all sorts. So I try and do that. You become a bit of a counsellor as well. Yeah, you do. You do. How much do you show of yourself in these photo shoots? I go to topless. Yeah, I go to topless. I don't do anything more than that. Okay. Yeah. And it's more, a lot of it isn't topless. It depends on the magazine because some magazines will print topless and some magazines won't. Some magazines will print implied. It depends on the publication. Yeah. I'm actually looking to launch my own glamour magazine in 2026. Ah, well, you're the kind of person that could pull that off.
53:52I want to bring back page three. You know, what's wrong with a pair of tits? Who didn't mind opening up page three in the morning and having a pair of tits? Do you know what? I'm going to back you on that. It's right, though. Bring back page three. It was inoffensive. Exactly. What? Because people don't like it. You know what my answer is? Don't like it. Don't fucking read it. And also bring back page seven. Remember page seven? What was that? You had the topless hunky man. Oh, well, it's funny you say that. It's good for the goose. It's good for the gander. It's funny you say that because I used to work for a magazine called Skip Hire Magazine because when I decided that I wasn't going to be a journalist, I went into trade publications.
54:22I loved it. So I used to do a column called Skip Chick and Skip Hunk. So you can imagine in the waste industry, they love getting them articles. It's bringing a bit of realism and character into it. So would you scrap OnlyFans and bring back Page Free? Absolutely. What's wrong with a pair of tits? You know, I'm from an era like growing up in the 80s and 90s where everybody had a laugh and there was nothing wrong with it. And then because some other people don't like it, you put a stop to it. Don't read it. But yeah, that's one of my key things I want to do next year. I want to bring back page three.
54:53I want to reach out to the readers, Housewives Market. I want real ladies, say ladies in my club, or just real women. Why shouldn't you get published? I've been published. Why shouldn't you? No different than me. All women are beautiful. All women have something to offer. Whether you're curvy, tall, black, straight, it doesn't matter. Why? It doesn't matter. Every woman has something to offer. and I tell you now, I've worked with women who would have never got in front of a camera without a bit of pushing and then they've been in front of a camera, they've been published and they're like, wow, I cannot believe I've achieved that.
55:24Now, the alternative model market is so important. You know, again, I've just won an award from the Alternative Awards because the Alternative Awards and 13 Events Official and Twisted Edge, they all work together to put real people in the limelight. You know, you don't have to be the stereotypical five foot nine you know and a size four and that look like this you can be you know you can you can look like anyone any lady can model so that's why the alternative market is so important and I think that's where I really want to go with this I really want to everybody can have that opportunity you know being a published published for a lady can you imagine that the boost that gives her you know and I've worked with some ladies who've come from real shit places and then they've been put to real high places just through self-confidence belief and a bit of photography And a support network.
56:14And a support network, yeah. Which it sounds like you provide in your own way. Yeah, we do, we do. A few more questions for you. Has any of your lifestyle choices ever caused you any problems? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So being, I'd say I'm bisexual. I like men just as I like women, which can cause real problems. What's your favourite? FX's American Horror Story returns for an unrivaled 13th instalment. with the iconic horrors you love to fear and an all-star cast reprising fan-favorite roles. Light your candles, draw your pentagrams, and prepare for a supreme surprise. FX's American Horror Story 13.
56:58Now streaming on Hulu. You fell in love at first crunch, and now the crispy chicken crunchwrap slider is back at Taco Bell, But with a twist, it's crispy all-white meat chicken nuggets inside a slider-sized crunch wrap. But now you can enjoy them with the kick of Hidden Valley Diablo Ranch. Or try the tortilla chip-coated nuggets on their own. They're waiting for you. The Crispy Chicken Crunchwrap Slider, a brand new classic, is back. Only at Taco Bell. Depends. Tough one, isn't it? I'll add both at the same time, if I'm being really honest, Liam. That's why I'm a swinger. I've got couples. There's two couples who I play with.
57:37Really bastard. I know, it's great. But there's two couples and I actually class them as my best friends, you know. They're in very, very happy relationships. I am the third wheel and that's exactly how I like it, you know. You go home to peace and they stay where they are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I call World War III and then bugger off. No, but, you know, they're like my best friends. I can call them for anything. In fact, they actually help me construct the club, you know. I'm talking with real, real, real friends, you know. And like you say, the problems it's caused me, I've been beaten up because of my sexuality.
58:07I've been beaten up by men, been thrown down the stairs, called a dirty dyke. I've been called all the names under the sun. I went through a very abusive childhood and my stepdad beat me to a pulp one day because he overheard me telling my mum that I like girls. That's shit. Yeah, and I was in a relationship with a woman for five years and ironically she's my best friend now. We split up in 2015, ten years ago, and it was because she was fully gay and I was bi and I couldn't not just make that sacrifice without having a man because my body craves it and we couldn't get past that point and I ended up speaking to somebody behind her back which I shouldn't have done and I know that's wrong and it's one thing I regret for the rest of my life.
58:51We ended up splitting up. It was the most amicable split in history. You know, we went to the theatre, we went to the cinema, that was it. So we went to the cinema, we went for a meal, we sat down and we talked and I said, I can't be in a relationship where I can't have a man, you know, and it broke my heart because she's the most beautiful person in the world. She's still my best friend now. You know, we've managed to get through that, you know, my kids in my family call her auntie. She's the most incredible lady. I couldn't commit myself to her because I wasn't gay, you know. And then if I'm in, like I say, if I'm in a relationship with a man and a man doesn't understand it, then you're always stuck, you know, the amount of people who said to me, oh, you know, it's a, You've got the best of both worlds.
59:30And I'll say, no, it's a curse because if you're with a man, your body craves a woman after a while. And if you're with a woman, your body craves a man after a while. You are literally in limbo mode. But this lifestyle helps me achieve what I need and I don't have to be stuck in a relationship. I was in a relationship recently. It was split up at the end of last year. And he got that jealous. Basically, I'd given a policeman a lift home, believe it or not. It was very, very odd. We had a young lad in the club. Kerry, you do know that I pay full attention in these interviews, don't you? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
1:00:00You like a man in uniform. I do. Yes, I do. I do. I've got a real big thing for a man in uniform. I can see how the jealousy creeps in. Yes, yeah. But go on. Carry on. Yeah, yeah. So, but it was a Sunday night and this young lad was in and it was very odd because he said, you don't recognise me, do you? And I went, and he went, I'm one of the managers at Aldi. He said, you're a bit of a talk of Aldi. A few pictures are in the back of the lads. I'm like, Aldi of all places, you know. So anyway, the conversation continued and he said, no, he said, I've kind of left now. He said, I've done all the training for the police.
1:00:32I'm joining the force. I said, you know what? Fair play to you, lad. It's hard to get out of the streets of Stretford. You know, Stretford, it's not the best, it is, but it's not the best area. I'm glad you've escaped the rat race. Good on you. I'm dead proud of you. It was a conversation like that. Anyway, me and another friend, another male friend who was with me, we'd locked up the club and we'd come out and it was one of them nights when there'd been a match on or something. This guy couldn't get a taxi. He can usually get a taxi straight away. so I've got in my car drove off and I've drove around I went in wherever he still stood there this is odd so I've drove back I said look I said are you okay struggling to get a taxi right I'll tell you what give you a lift so I've given this policeman policeman to be and his missus a lift home I was an hour late I walked into World War III I got attacked I walked into World War III because apparently that had been transcribed in this guy's head that I'd pulled up on the M60 and shagged a copper on the motorway.
1:01:22So I just cut that relationship off. That relationship did not continue after that. I'm not having that level of jealousy when I'm just giving someone a lift home. The jealousy is a real dangerous trait. Now, when I meet somebody, I'm very, very open. It's not like I can't be open about what I do. You know, just because you're a swinger doesn't make you a cheat. You can see how your lifestyle would be riddled with jealousy, though. Oh, it's crazy. How do you manage that? I don't sometimes, you know. You can't be being attacked. That's a no-no. Yeah, that's an absolute no-no. But, you know, it's like some of the messages I get, you know, the messages, I've actually now given some of my social accounts to friends to manage because it's got that stressful.
1:02:02You know, I get things like, hiya, Red. How are you doing? Yeah, how are you doing, Red? Yeah, I'm bringing my wife in for you tonight. Sorry? I'm bringing my wife in. Well, you can bring her in all your life, but I'm not even on shift, darling. You know, it's this assumption that I'm there waiting to shag everyone's wife or I'm just waiting on me back, you know. there was a guy who travelled 50 miles, listen to this one Liam, this is a belter. So Michelle, you met before, my best mate, also works at the club. She rings me one day, she says, Kerry you're not going to believe this. I said oh go on.
1:02:33And we've got a guy in, well he's just left, go on. What had happened was we were on this app where you'd put meets up to see who was what, where and when. It's just like a social app. And what the staff used to do is change the picture of the profile every other day for the algorithms to keep it fresh picture of me because I'm the face of the club. This one day, Michelle's put a picture of me in a swing. Nothing unusual about that. This guy has travelled 50 miles, right? So bearing in mind, everyone who comes to the club, if you are a guest, you get a tour, you have to read the rules to us, you have to acknowledge, you know all the rules, you get showed to every room, so there's no confusion.
1:03:11So anyway, this guy's had a tour. He's about 10 minutes late, Michelle's on the laptop. she said she just looks up, he's stood there. She said, can you help me, darling? Because I went, what time is she back in the swing? This guy's travelled 50 miles, Liam, because he thinks I'm just there swinging away, waiting to get railed. She gets let out at 10 past two, and then she goes back in at three o 'clock. Where's the mentality? 50 miles because he thinks I'm swinging away, waiting for him. Some of the stuff, I'm actually writing a book on this. And so you should, because it will make for an enthralling read.
1:03:45but I know that your kind of lifestyle is going to attract lunatics. Oh, yeah, it does. It does. And that's our hardest job for myself and the festival is keeping these lunatics out. Well, this is my final question to you. Okay. My final question to you, but then you get one more crack of the whip at the end. So my final question was going to be, how are you going to keep your community safe from these dangerous deviant perverts? I am just going to continue what we're doing. I've got a very strong team. team of ex-licensees business owners you know we're a bit of a force to be reckoned with and we have um when we have hosted nights we have extra staff we've installed extra cameras and i'm now working with the police i'm going to be working with the police on any strategy i can and like i say that incident that i've shown you the footage of was an isolated incident it's very rare we have anything like that i don't want people to think oh god i'm not going to go something like that will happen because it doesn't, you know, like I say, is isolated.
1:04:42However, it doesn't mean that it can't happen again. So I just have to continue practicing what I publicly preach. And if that does come at a cost of somebody might not get in when they might have been all right, tough shit. It's a numbers game. You know, I've got to make a call on people. I'm in a position where I have to stereotype. And this has got worse over the past two years since all this, you know, since the floodgates have opened and there's no control of the borders, you know. I've got good control of my club, but people haven't got control of the bleeding borders. It's quite an easy question.
1:05:14You know, what people need to start making that disassociation with is legal and illegal. You know, what about the poor guys who have worked their arses off to come over here legally, and then they're getting tired of different brushes, you know. I've got friends who are immigrants who come over here the legal way. They work hard, they run limited businesses, and they deserve a place in this country. They've, you know, like you say, assimilated, not trying to come and take over. There's two totally different things. You know, people need to get a grip on race and culture are two completely different things, you know.
1:05:47Legal and illegal. I don't know how people aren't making that a disassociation. That just shows the kind of society we're living in. And then again, you've got what I would class as a real Muslim. And you've got male and female. And a radicalised Muslim. How people struggle with that. Yeah, exactly, exactly. But, you know, like you say, we're going back to what we're talking about. You've got the real Muslim people. I've got a lot of Muslim friends. And can you imagine how offended they are by all this? They're probably going to get mistangled, scary. No, we have a big Muslim community, but people who I call real Muslims, there's a big difference.
1:06:18Oh, the imam will go mad if you usually say that. Well, no, we do have people of all different orientations and backgrounds in our club. But they can't turn up in religious attire and they can't pray in there. No, you're not turning up in religious attire. I'm just absolutely cutting it off. I don't like that kind of level of hypocrisy. I don't really care. And what's your final message to the masses? Whatever you want to say, whatever you want to tell them. You sign off. One day I will get Liam's Huff in my club. Can I say that? Say what you want. You're the star of the show. You're the guest.
1:06:47No, I just want to say a massive, massive thank you to you and Simon and the team for having me. I think I've done well in getting my point across. You have. And the reason I've taken the plunge to do this today and the reason I sent you that footage because I feel like people like me who are on the ground dealing with this, and if we don't speak out, then we have to have a voice. There's people on ground level who are dealing with this shit every day. We have to have a voice. And I think myself, I'm in a double trajectory point because I'm in the adult world. Again, the Turkish lads on our street, they've had people trying to force their way into their shop.
1:07:27We're not paying for air cuts. The same kind of people we're talking about. so it's not just businesses like mine that are suffering but this is dripping down onto ground level businesses and where does it stop where does it stop do i have to close my doors next year because i have that every weekend trying to get to women you know where does it end it doesn't end if it's not getting solved it's only going to exacerbate so i think it's people like me who need to have a voice and talk to people like you to get that out there so that we have a real problem we have a real problem and we need to deal with it before this problem has gone past the point of no return and, you know, nobody can go out at night.
1:08:02You know, it is dangerous and people need to start speaking out. Well, I make you right. And if you also agree with Kerry that you think we have got a problem, remember to like and subscribe to the channel because you will not find these conversations on the mainstream media. Kerry's been great, brave. We didn't agree on everything, but that's the beauty of life. And I hope you can take something away that you don't have to fall out just because you disagree. Yeah, exactly. Disagree and move on. So Kerry, I appreciate you coming on, sharing your story with me, trusting me enough. Thank you. Good on you.
1:08:29Thank you very much. And I hope you keep your community safe. I will do. Good elf. Thank you.
