Kim Leadbeater has been an MP since winning the Batley & Spen by-election for Labour in 2021. She was elected to the constituency that her sister, Jo Cox, had served until she was murdered during the 2016 Brexit referendum campaign. Having pursued a career in health and fitness, Kim hadn't initially intended on a life in politics, but she went on to champion social and political cohesion through the Jo Cox Foundation and the More in Common initiative. More recently, she has led the campaign to legalise Assisted Dying. The Bill is currently making its way through Parliament and has been described as the biggest social reform in a generation. On the podcast, Kim talks to Katy Balls about finding common ground with other Yorkshire MPs (including one former Prime Minister), why she thinks the growing popularity of Reform is a worrying sign of disillusionment in politics, and how she is more likely to retire than pursue a third career. The debate around Assisted Dying has been more ‘unpleasant' than expected but she has no regrets, and thinks that – most importantly – the national conversation around death has moved on. Despite a proposed extension, Kim hopes the Bill – if passed – will be implemented within 2-3 years. Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Through the early 2000s, a satanic, paedophilic sex cult, with dozens of members and an obsession with Ancient Egyptian iconography, ran totally undetected in an unassuming cul-de-sac in south Wales. And its depraved, shabby and mostly toothless kingpin, Colin Batley, was perhaps the most unlikely cult leader imaginable…For over a decade, Batley used his twisted free-love philosophy to groom the children of his besotted followers – some as young as seven – into believing that their ‘spiritual path' was to satisfy his sinister desires. And that was only the beginning…Exclusive bonus content:Wondery - Ad-free & ShortHandPatreon - Ad-free & Bonus EpisodesFollow us on social media:YouTubeTikTokInstagramVisit our website:WebsiteSources available on redhandedpodcast.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In the first half, Dave Schrader, paranormal expert, and former Coast to Coast AM host, joined George Knapp to share tales of paranormal forces interweaving with our world, including ghostly visitations, monsters, and unexplained supernatural encounters. Schrader, who revealed having personal experiences with the paranormal from an early age, has collected accounts told to him by witnesses as well as his own for his new book, Theater of the Mind: Tales from the Darkness. One of his strange encounters occurred when he was recovering from surgery in the hospital. In his hospital room, when closing his eyes, he could see a group of about 14 spirit beings pacing around. They were a washed-out gray color, and though they were trying to communicate with him, he was unable to understand them, which frustrated them. While he acknowledged he was on painkillers at the time, his memory of the incident was very clear and not foggy.One of his insights from this incident and others is that spirit beings often just want to be heard and recognized. "That's why I show such respect and reverence to haunted locations because some of these spirits that lash out, I think, are more out of frustration than they are trying to actually hurt or terrify us," he said. Schrader recalled a story told to him about a man who reluctantly attended psychic fairs with his wife, but the psychics would always refuse to give him a reading. Finally, one admitted that the man had a "dark being" that was attached to him, possibly for a long time, and this caused the man to look at parts of his life differently. Schrader also related how, as a radio host, he learned to understand that even with the most outlandish stories, such as when a caller said he'd been terrified by a 4 ft. tall frog creature, these experiences can be very real and powerful to them.---------------In the latter half, Chris Evers, editor of Outer Limits Magazine, presented reports of unidentified craft, and the extraordinary number of different shapes and sizes they come in. He recounted an early sighting that occurred back in 1215 AD in Japan during the execution of a priest. Just as the priest was about to be beheaded, a silvery disc was seen in the sky, and because of the unusual event, he was let go rather than killed. Other early sightings include that of Emperor Constantine, who witnessed a flying cross. "We tend to view these sightings with the technology and the beliefs that we have at the time we are witnessing them," he commented, though he added another 'flying cross' sighting was seen again in 1967 in the county of Devon, in the UK, by a photographic expert. Simultaneous witnesses may describe an object's shape differently, as George pointed out how this occurred with some of the aerial phenomena at Skinwalker Ranch.The recent military reports of a 'Tic Tac'-shaped UFO are a kind of modern equivalent of the cigar-shaped craft, Evers remarked. He detailed a fascinating mass sighting at an Italian soccer game in 1952, when multiple aerial objects, including egg and cigar-shaped craft, were seen by thousands over the stadium. A kind of silver glitter fell from the sky that was described as "angel hair." Some called it flying spiders, which Evers think David Bowie may have picked up on for his band name, "The Spiders from Mars" for the Ziggy Stardust album. A fleet of stubby cigar-shaped objects were also seen in '52 at a school in Batley, England. Evers noted that black triangular craft have been seen for decades, and that a V-shaped formation somewhat akin to the Phoenix Lights was observed in Ireland in 2022. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/georgenoory/message

pWotD Episode 2495: George Galloway Welcome to popular Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of a popular Wikipedia page every day.With 392,626 views on Friday, 1 March 2024 our article of the day is George Galloway.George Galloway (born 16 August 1954) is a British politician, broadcaster, and writer who has served as member of Parliament (MP) for Rochdale since the 2024 by-election. He has been the leader of the Workers Party of Britain since he founded it in 2019. Between 1987 and 2010, and between 2012 and 2015, Galloway served as MP four constituencies, first for the Labour Party and later for the Respect Party, the latter of which he joined in 2004 and led from 2013 until its dissolution in 2016.Galloway was born in Dundee, Scotland. After becoming the youngest ever chair of the Scottish Labour Party in 1981, he was general secretary of the London-based charity War on Want from 1983 until his election as MP for Glasgow Hillhead at the 1987 general election. In 2003, he was expelled from the Labour Party due to his prominent opposition to the Iraq War. In 2004, Galloway became a member of the Respect Party, and then the party's leader by late 2013. He was elected as MP for Bethnal Green and Bow at the 2005 general election. After losing in neighbouring Poplar and Limehouse in 2010, he returned to the House of Commons after being elected at the 2012 Bradford West by-election; he lost this seat at the 2015 general election. After unsuccessfully standing as an Independent candidate in two seats in the 2017 and 2019 general elections, Galloway founded the Workers Party of Britain; he stood for the Workers Party at the 2021 Batley and Spen by-election, finishing in third place, and won the 2024 Rochdale by-election with nearly 40 per cent of the vote.Galloway testified to the United States Senate in 2005 over alleged illicit payments from the United Nations' Oil-for-Food Programme against Ba'athist Iraq. Among other international issues, Galloway has voiced his anti-Zionism and supports the Palestinians in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, and was also involved in the Viva Palestina aid convoys to the Gaza Strip. He opposes India's role in the Kashmir conflict with Pakistan, and has voiced support for the insurgency in Indian-administered Kashmir. He voiced support for Jeremy Corbyn in the 2015 Labour Party leadership election and during Corbyn's leadership of the party. In the 2016 European Union (EU) membership referendum, he advocated a "Leave" vote, campaigning with the cross-party, pro-Brexit organisation Grassroots Out, while before the 2019 European Parliament election he announced, "for one-time only", he would support Nigel Farage's Brexit Party. He opposes Scottish independence and founded All for Unity, a party that campaigned on support for British unionism in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, where it captured 0.9 per cent of the vote. He has defined himself as socially conservative. Galloway hosted the TalkRadio show The Mother of All Talk Shows between 2006 and 2010 and between 2016 and 2019 until his dismissal. He then broadcast on Russia Today (RT) until 2022, defending Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine, after which sanctions were imposed on RT. Galloway's talk show moved to social media platforms.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:48 UTC on Saturday, 2 March 2024.For the full current version of the article, see George Galloway on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Niamh Neural.
I'm on a first-name basis with the people who work in my local charity shops. I love them. In fact I'd say nearly all of my wardrobe is second hand. And it's not just me, studies suggest the market for ‘pre-loved' items could even become bigger than ‘fast fashion' by 2029, so it looks as though thrifting is here to stay - but why? I'm Mary Mandefield and in this episode of Noted, I want to dig deeper into why secondhand shopping is becoming more popular and the real impact of fast fashion. I'll speak to environmentalist and ethical influencer, Laura Young and I also visit Oxfam's Northern Logistics Centre in Batley, to find out what happens to clothes that don't get sold in their shops. And I've got tips on how you can save some money on your clothes, and help make a difference to the environment, too. Oh and just to let you know, we've come to the end of this series! All episodes of Noted are still available, so go back and explore. I want to say a big thank you for listening and hope you have a wonderful new year. Noted is an original podcast production from The News Movement and Persephonica. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Show Notes and Transcript Tommy Robinson's first autobiography was called Enemy of the State. And everything the legal system, police or media does just seems to reinforce that sentiment. The latest example of two tier policing was just days ago when Tommy was arrested while eating breakfast in a café in London. He returns to Hearts of Oak to discuss why the police issued a section 35 order and detained him. Why was he prevented as a journalist from reporting on a pro Hamas demo? And why do the media hate him so badly? So much to discuss and only Tommy himself can shed light on all these questions. Connect with Tommy...

It's so good to have you with us. Thanks so much for your time today. (Tommy Robinson) I can be named now. I'm being named everywhere. It is crazy. But let's look, there's so much to get into, your arrest for, I don't know whether you were just arrested for a bad breakfast, but anyway, first person arrested for having breakfast. It was bad. We'll get into that social media reach. But actually people can find you obviously @TRobinsonNewEra. The problem is they won't be able to find that. They will if they put the address in. Because I'm still shadow banned on Twitter and profile banned. So if you just go and search Tommy Robinson you can't find me. Which is good that 120,000 extra people have found me in the last three weeks considering you cannot search for me on Twitter. Which I'm frustrated about. If it's a home of citizen journalism, give me back my account, why limit who can see me? Maybe it's already on from before when I was de-platformed before and maybe they had the search ban on there previously. Maybe they haven't realized that, I hope so. I hope that my reach, I'm given the ability to reach the masses. That's what it should be. So there shouldn't be limits on who can find me, which is currently there are. So, but yeah, @TRobinsonNewEra. That's where I'm at. I sometimes think, crap, what's Tommy on? I'm on my phone and don't have it saved or whatever. Oh, no, of course I can't find it. Let me check his feeds. And at least you're there, certainly in our feeds. The one other thing is trsilenced.com for your books. Maybe mention that before we get on because... I'm on a grift. It's Christmas. I don't care. As I said, I've got three kids and they've got big lists and you can, this is enemy of the state. If you watch what happened recently in my arrest in London, you watched that little clip and you saw I done nothing. Yeah. If you go on my Wikipedia and read my criminal convictions, literally it's a list of the things you just witnessed and I get put before a judge, not a jury. I've never had a jury ever. I won't have a jury this time. I will not have a jury for an upcoming trial where I face two years. It's insane. This details my life story. You get to understand the person I am, not the person they say I am. I bought this out in 2015. I then wrote another book, was to talk about big tech censorship, government interference, the interference in government and influence they put on private businesses in order to silence you, control you. But when they control me, they're controlling what you hear. This talks about that. This was banned. Ironically called silenced. I put it on Amazon. This went to number one, three times, four times on Amazon. This was up to number three in the first five days, it was going to number one, and then they cancelled it totally. So the only place you can get these you can get this now is trsilenced.com. You can buy you can get personalised copies, signed copies. But this was banned, when you think about it like Mein Kampf Hitler's book is not banned on Amazon. You can write about Hitler on Facebook On both of those platforms, if you mention my name, or if I try and bring out a book detailing my story, they're both banned. They want to control and tell the public who I am. They don't want them hearing from me. It's quite a worrying level of censorship and control that we see. But yeah, you can get those books if you want to know any more about my life and the reality behind the headlines, the truth behind the headlines, and I'm actually just putting pen to paper on another. Because I want to get more side of course. Well, that is the two books there. Make sure and go to the website, click on the shop tab and you can order them. And by doing that, it's a way of supporting Tommy. And actually I know people who bought two, three of them had one for themselves and passed on to friends and family. So it's a perfect opportunity. Why not? I know many of our friends who won't talk to us about any of this, they'll be desperate for a Tommy Robinson book. So why not make their Christmas, give it to them, but challenge them because Tommy, all this is word of mouth, isn't it? If a friend recommends something, then that person is more likely to have a go and have a look. And I think that's the best way of recommending. Do you know how many emails I'm receiving daily? Do you know how many notes I'm getting with the orders of these books? Do you know how many people have just turned, just realizing, now they're searching, they're shocked what they're finding. I've gotten so many apologies from people who hated me, people who said they, judged me on what the media were telling them and they can't believe how fooled they've been. What that then does is make people question everything, which is what Covid helped with this. People saw the lies, they saw the pushing of the vaccine, they saw them not telling the truth, they saw all these different things and then it's made them question a lot more. And then when they see little snippets like you saw the other day of my arrest, it opens their eyes. So really it's enlightening for people, it's good for our cause. We want people to question everything, we want them to see that they're being fooled by the media, and lied to by the media. The media are not there to give them the news, they're there to tell them how to think, what to think, and who to think that about. So yeah. Yeah. And I certainly, whenever I've been with you, going around anywhere in a town, the support you get is 95, 98% positive. I just remember on a train in London, this is probably four years ago, sitting on a train and I had messaged you something and you were there, Tommy Robinson, on my phone, probably stupid but hey. And suddenly the guy beside, packed in, the guy beside me said, hey mate, was that the Tommy Robinson you just messaged? And I said, yeah, and he goes, the actual Tommy Robinson. I said, okay, how's this got to go? Yeah, and he goes, no way. And then he shouts over to his mate, who's like six seats along. This guy knows Tommy Robinson. He goes, no way, holy shit. How do you know Tommy? And tell us about, suddenly I'm thinking, oh no, how's this going to go? But it's the norm. It's when you mention your name, the reception by and large hugely is positive. But that's the opposite of what the media try and portray. I will do one day. I'm just going to get someone to stand back and film me as I walk through places because I obviously am aware of the perception of the reception I receive. So that gives me, does inspire me. It makes me aware that they're not winning. So I get most of the time a hero's reception when I go places. And I understand. Yeah, so that they they have wished to portray this image of we're part of a fringe movement, we're not, we're mainstream. People are thinking what we're thinking, they feel the way we feel, they're seeing what we see. So they want us to be some little fringe movement and they want to portray that I'm the most hated man in Britain, total opposite. So yeah, and I know that, and luckily for me, my children have been able to see that everywhere I go. And it's not, and do you know what, their attempt to portray us as racist, I was walking through the airport yesterday, majority of people come up who shake my hand, ask some photos, weren't white. So it's like, yeah, they're not winning. They haven't won. Their lies have been seen. I know. Okay, the arrest. So you went to report as a journalist, which is what you've been doing for years, reporting on news, bringing information to the public on grooming gangs, and of course, people can watch the Rape of Britain episodes. This was something different. This was going to report on the Palestinian pro-Hamas, demonstration and you go for a breakfast and then everything kicks off. What exactly happened and then we'll maybe touch on what exactly the powers the police currently have in the UK? Do you know what I find it frustrating. I see so many people who for once have actually defended me or defended what happened. News presenters, television presenters, radio hosts, but they still want to put this doubt over the fact I'm a journalist. I have produced in the last 24 months six feature-length films and investigative pieces. It's more than any other journalist or any other documentary has made. I go to events. I put one up yesterday. I went to Poland to cover their Independence Day. Why did I go there? Because the BBC News told you it was 60,000 Nazis marching. So I went there to give a fair appraisal of what was happening on the ground. I put another one up last night when I went to the Football Lads Alliance march. I went there because the BBC decided, because there was no trouble, not to even cover it. And anyone else labelled them as far right. So I went to see who was there. Lo and behold, lots of non-white people, people weren't far right, political persuasions from all different. I go there to give the public, which the public trusts me to do, a fair appraisal and I ask questions that I think should be asked as a journalist, which unfortunately mainstream journalists do not ask. And when I go to these events, I also question the journalists. That's why I went to this anti-Semitism march to do. I have done countless demonstrations like this. I've done pro-EU demonstrations where I've gone and questioned people about the European union, the money, the influence, who's in control of it. I've done this, it's what I do, yeah, it's my full-time job as a journalist and I went there this day, I would have gone and supported because I'm on that side, yeah, but I was there in the capacity as a journalist. When I see people casting doubt over this, I just think you're casting doubt, you're not even a journalist, you don't investigate anything, you just repeat what you're told to repeat and then you've got the audacity, like I had some Sky News presenter when I was at the Anti-Semitist one, questioning me. I think you've just bought Hamas's propaganda. I've watched you. I've watched your news channel. I've actually exposed your news channel, Jason Farrell, through covert recordings. I've exposed that you manipulate the public, you fool them and lie to them and deceive them, where you put voiceovers that weren't to a certain question. You actually change the entire narrative of what was said and fool people. So I went there to give a report. When I arrived, I sat down in a cafe to get breakfast. I was then approached by the police, who told me that my presence could cause alarm and distress. To whom? And then they stood and watched outside waiting. And all they would have seen was me have a great reception from people. Photos, smiley, happy, all normal people, not far right like the usual accusations by them. But they then, when I went to leave the cafe to start my reporting to question people, and I sat and done it in the cafe, I asked people why they're here, why is it important for them to be here, what's your views of the police's response? Because when they're talking about alarm and distress, my presence causing alarm and distress. We have 40,000 Muslims on a terror watch list, yeah? We have Hizbut tahrir, prescribed terrorist organisations in most countries, holding rallies. The day before I was in London, holding a rally, calling for Muslim armies, Muslim armies, they're meant to be on a ceasefire protest but they're calling for Muslim armies, all these different things. We've got people calling from the river to the sea, we've got people calling for the destruction of the only Jewish state, we've got them calling to gas the Jews, we've got all, we're witnessing this, we're seeing mosque after mosque after mosque, preacher after preacher after preacher, spouting the most hatred we've seen and the public have seen. No one's facing arrest, no one's facing prosecution, none of their freedoms are limited, they're not being kicked out of their capital cities. So the exposé of a two-tier policing system, Sadiq Khan's Met Police Force, coming down on me, who was totally law-abiding that day, I was at work. In fact, section 35 of their own legislation says that if someone's at work, paid to be somewhere, they cannot give them a dispersal order. But this comes into the argument where they do not want to recognise I'm a journalist. And that's because they wish to control what journalists they have. The mainstream media never give the true effect. None of their reporting is factual. They do not ask the questions that need to be asked. Whether it be grooming, whether it be the Hamas conflict, none of them go where needs to go, where you need to go and the questions that need to be asked. So they wish to control it. As anyone would have seen, I was calm. I left the cafe. I didn't get a chance to leave. I was surrounded by 30 police officers. I was manhandled, they dragged me the wrong way, realised they dragged me the wrong way, pulled me back the other way. I was trying to explain to them, if you're gonna kick me out of here, he's got my car keys. I need my car keys, my mate, that you've just dragged me away from. So if you just think you're dumping me down the road and saying, leave, I can't. My car's here. So I was trying to explain this and then boom, then they started manhandling me more. They pulled me down, they put my hands behind my back, handcuffed me. During this process, he pulled my head back and CS sprayed me from point blank range. Insane when you watch this. If this had happened to a non-white citizen, in fact, If this has happened in China, Russia or any of these countries, every politician in our country would be up in arms. They'd be screaming about it. They'd be talking about free speech, about the importance of freedom of the press. And I haven't seen one single politician mention the fact that I was manhandled, violently attacked by the police and had my rights and my freedoms taken from me. And right now they're taken from me still, Peter. I'm supposed to be in London in two days. I was supposed to be in London on Thursday to interview the Jordanian opposition leader I was supposed to be interviewing. I was supposed to be doing a sit-down with a Dubai News Channel. My job is now affected, my activism, if I want to do activism is affected. I'm currently banned from going within the m25 or I'm taking straight to prison. I'm not allowed to associate, protest, be involved in a protest. Like, they're my rights. I didn't do anything. It's like you may want to take my rights but I'm not going to surrender it to you. That's why on that day it's like leave. Why would I leave? I haven't done anything. I'm not just going to let you take my freedoms like without... Well, the whole thing of journalism because there, up to now, thank God, we haven't had an official list like you may get in some countries where the government approve some and don't approve other. It is if you're producing content, if you're interviewing, if you're putting news out, then you are a journalist. There is no, you don't have to have a NUJ card to define you as a journalist. I don't think our politicians or police know that. Police think you do. It's like, no. I've actually gone through court cases where I've got the transcripts and the judges recognize me as a journalist. I'm recognized as a journalist. It's my full-time job. You don't get to choose who's a journalist, thankfully, yeah, because we know what you do when you control the media. When citizen journalists started rising and challenging your narrative, you then try to control it through big tech. The government's put pressure on private businesses to influence. We've seen it on the Twitter files. You've seen it time and time again. We saw with Russell Brand recently. Exactly what's happening there has happened to all citizen journalists. It's why X, Twitter, is so important, as Elon Musk said, citizen journalism is the future, yeah? No one can sway what I say, or the narrative, or the news I give, no one can do that. So I don't have no big sponsorships or advertisers that can tell me what I can and can't say. So I will go and ask raw questions and give raw detail and raw footage, and challenge them, and challenge what they're saying. And they don't like that. It's not just that they don't like that, I believe there was a total other plan to this. I believe that if you look at, I organised for people to come and defend Armistice Day to make sure that our two-minute silence was not disrupted by Hamas jihadi supporters. Thousands upon thousands of men attended. Within 48 hours of being given back my social media and my voice, I received a letter from the Attorney General warning me that they're looking at prosecuting me for contempt of court because I created a film called Silenced. They gave me an injunction preventing you, the public, from seeing what's in that film. That film is a total expose with covert recordings. It shows that they are corrupt. They spent money to control the truth. They silenced people. The lengths they go to, to make sure they are in control of that narrative, is insane. All documented in the film. They really don't want the world watching that film, so they then give me an injunction saying I get two years in jail if anyone watches the film. The film was leaked seven months ago, but for seven months I heard nothing. I'm giving back my voice on social media. 48 hours later, I'm threatened by the Attorney General. I told the Attorney General politely with my legal team to fuck off. Again, you are not... In good Elon Musk style. You are not taking my freedom of speech. I'm not surrendering to you. I will not give it up to you. You may wish to take it. Well, to take it, you're going to have to put me in jail. I'm not just going to accept that you are limiting my freedom of speech, limiting my freedom of assembly when I've done nothing wrong. If I get before a judge on contempt of court, tell me what's in the film that's incorrect. There's nothing in that's incorrect. It's a school record. It's covert recordings of seven teachers saying that they were paid. You paid them. Who paid them? The leader of the Muslim, the leader of the local Kirklees council who's now resigned for fraud, whose brother is the Islamic radical imam who made sure the Batley school teacher is still in hiding. He's the one who has organized all the protests. Our councils have been infiltrated, our governments have been infiltrated, every institution in our country been infiltrated. I made a documentary that proved it and guess what? The judiciary's infiltrated and all and it all proves it. So as I said within 48 hours I received that letter. I now face two years in jail for that film. It's not a film I put out, it was leaked, I didn't put it out, so I will fight it in court and when I fight it in court they're just going to bring more attention to the film. Like hopefully and especially when people see what just happened last weekend, people are going to realise, shit, they're going for him, this is an establishment attack, they're attempting everything they can and this isn't just, I keep saying it, this is far bigger than Tommy Robinson, you don't have to like me, you don't have to like my history, you don't like my past, you don't have to like what I've said, what I've done, to realise that we should not live in a society where government overreach, police are used, the police are used to attack people and they're not, and then they're used to enforce their laws and actually corrupt their laws and abuse their laws on certain people with certain ideas and then totally stand by with their hands tied behind their back with jihadists and extremists. People have seen it, we just saw the arrest of the Muslim who was kicking off up in Manchester and then the police let him go. They de-arrested him because they faced a mob. So who controls the streets? The mob. The mob. What they're sending out a message is, get violent. Be violent and you'll get what you want. And of course that's going to embolden these Hamas supporters on our streets. But it's also outraging the entire British public who are watching this. And it's something I've spoke about for 15 years I've spoke about from, in fact, if you dig up the article I wrote in 2004 which I used in my Oxford Union speech. I spoke then in my local newspaper about the two-tier policing. Iron fists for us, kid gloves for them. Yeah same with funding. It's funding for their community through the roof. We're ignored, white working class, we're totally ignored by our government and our politicians and our councils but that's something like I think a lot of people have watched what's happened, they don't agree with it. I'm actually going to be in court, Peter. I'm just waiting for a message now. I think I may be in court this Wednesday, if not Monday. So I will be in court to challenge the legalities of my bail conditions. Because if you watched it, I've done nothing wrong. Why am I banned from my capital city? Why are these jihadists not banned from their capital city? Why did you abuse the law to arrest me for doing nothing wrong, yet you pat them on their back when they climb up and desecrate our monuments. Why? It's so blatant what you're doing. It's so blatant to every member of the British public. I don't know if you watched the recent interview I've done with a gentleman up in Leicester, a 70-year-old gentleman, who was also issued a section 35. He was also dragged through his town centre and arrested. So what people need to realise is, if they can do this to me, you may think it's funny that they're doing it to me if you don't like it, but if they can do it to me, they can do it to you. And they're using this to abuse their powers up and down this country against one community. Not against everyone. One community gets off scot-free, the Islamic community. The jihadists, the far-left extremists, if this hasn't been a wake-up call, the unholy alliance of the far-left and the far-right and the Islamists all joining together on this one issue of hating Jews. That's what we're witnessing. So... Well, look, that's been a... I will pick up on those who have supported you, pick up on your social media reach, but it is that... it's very weird. I'm scratching my head trying to work out this hatred of Israel, calling everyone Zionist shills is the term. I try to scratch my head because my support for Israel is biblical. As a Christian, it goes back to Jerusalem being 3000 years of the capital of Israel. So for me, it's on that history. And then you've got individuals who say, no, these Palestinians, whoever, whatever Palestinians are, and the hatred against the Jews. I've been really surprised at the veracity, the aggression against Israel. I never expected that to happen. It's not against Israel. Israel's an excuse. It's against Jews. And essentially, you are looking, what you're witnessing with the far right alignment of them, Iran has as much money given to them by America mainly. But Iran, all of these countries are now influencing, They're influencing social media influencers, are receiving funds and money to promote the Quran, to promote Islam, to convert to Islam, all across the globe. You're seeing TikTokers now pushing it and spreading it. There is a bottomless pit of money coming out of that Middle East and they all make the accusations against us. If you don't hate Jews, you're Zionist, you're Mossad, you're funded by the Jews, etc. There is the total opposite. We're witnessing an Iranian proxy army online and on the streets, funded en masse, yeah? Funded en masse. So, and when they go on about, it's like we talk about Jew hatred or we talk about Israel. As I said, I've said this multiple times recently, people need to understand. Mein Kampf's book, Mein Kampf, Hitler's book, has 7% Jew hatred in it. The Quran has 9%, the Hadith have 12%. If a political organisation set up today, and as part of its manifesto, 9% of it was hatred of Jews. Would it be outlawed? Would it be banned? Yes, it would. Why are we giving a special protection to the ideology, not religion, the ideology of Islam, that promotes violence, that promotes hatred, that promotes intolerance, it promotes Jew hatred, it promotes sexual enslavement of non-Muslims. Why is it given a protection that we're not even allowed to talk about it? You're not even allowed to question it. You're not allowed to criticize it. You've thrown out accusations of hate speech. The only real hate speech is coming out of the mosques and they're getting away with it. You're not using the laws you've created. If anyone hasn't seen now, the hate speech laws are not there to stop hate speech. They're there to stop you criticizing what they're pushing. And Islam is being pushed on all of us. And it's like Mein Kampf is banned? The Quran is pushed and celebrated and the influence and the social media influences that everyone can now see all over the world who are pushing this agenda, in America, across the globe. They're pushing this agenda, they're the ones receiving their funds, they're the ones getting paid for it. I've always stood and said openly, look it's not difficult. Hamas are ISIS. Hamas have already come out and said, first the Jews then the Christians. Their statement, not mine. Listen to what they're saying, they're not talking about, they talk about the kuffar, they talk about the infidels, it's all of us. If you do not think, and I keep saying even to these far-right morons. Say listen, if they've murdered 1500 Jews and they've slaughtered, they've raped, look how emboldened they've become in every Western nation. They're not bothered. This has given them, we will see more jihad. We've just seen an arrest yesterday for a planned attack in Las Vegas, We've seen a French attack. The man who'd done the France attack had already been arrested previously for planning another attack. Yeah, planning. What's he even doing on the street? These people are at war with us. Intern them. Get them off the street. You know they're a risk. Get rid of them. 3,000 Muslims are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week because we know they're planning to attack us. Get rid. If they've got dual nationality passports, fuck them off. They've got to go. The time for sitting anymore is gone. How many more of our people do you want to see killed? Now if Israel was conquered by these jihadists, they've tried it many times before, they made it clear in the seven-day war all the leaders of the surrounding Islamic nations come out and said we're gonna take your women, we're taking them as slaves. Everything is Quranic, everything is scripturally inspired. Stop pretending it's about Israel. And if they've done that, if say for example to these brain-dead morons who keep talking about freeing Palestine and attacking Israel. Do you think if the jihadists conquered Israel and they wipe out and then they're in control of Jerusalem and every Christian holy site, do you think you're going to have the right to go there to all the Christians? What do you think it's going to look like as a nation? What's it going to look like in the Islamic State? And do you think they stop there? Do you not understand jihad? Do you not understand their mindset of Islamic supremacy to rule and dominate the world. Not to rule and dominate Israel. Israel is the first step and it's coming for the rest of us. You don't see them coming through Europe. You don't see what's going to happen. It's just, it's pretty infuriating when you see the alignment of all these people joining together and it has become vocal and it has become loud and that's because they are, I'd say many of them paid, but they are also, they also have their staunch beliefs so they're very loud, isn't it? But if you go out day to day and get out of the bubbles of online, you realise the vast majority of the British public stand on the side of Israel. Maybe not the youngsters, which is why, so you see the American election now, I've been watching what's happening in America, this American election 2024 is the most important in their country's history. You see, if the Republicans do not win this, and the 4 million that have come through the borders now becomes 8 million, 12 million, of dependents who will vote for Democrats. There will never be a Republican government again. And not just there will never be a Republican government again. If you look at the mindset of the elders and the youngers in the United States and in Great Britain, our education systems have been totally infiltrated. They are winning that war. So the 16 to 24 year olds hate Israel. The extremism, look at teachers having to hide because they went to a pro-Israel rally and hundreds of students getting violent. In universities across the United States, you have one chance now, it's 2024, You need to elect a leader who's going to challenge it, stop it, stop the funding to these universities, schools, colleges, stop the sexualisation of the kids, stop the transgender movement and the push for it, stop the Islamisation, stop the anti-Jew hatred. You've got one chance. It's this year. Because after this year, America, I'm surprised how fast it's accelerated. We've been warning about it. I've been trying to warn America and giving speeches back to America since 2009, simply saying, listen, I know, I've had it, I've seen my town change. One mosque in 1982 to 45 now, you're in trouble. And we're seeing now the influence like, you're seeing all the politicians who are resigning from the Labour Party, they're on their stance on the Israel-Palestinian conflict. They're the ones that have large support, they're voters are Muslim, so they're changing their stances based on their base, yeah? Well that Muslim population, the majority of them want homosexuality outlawed. At which point in the future do you not think these politicians are going to be pushing that? The majority of them, 50 percent, said they would not report on a, 50 percent of British Muslims, not report on someone if they knew they were fighting for ISIS. 50 percent, 75 percent wouldn't report on someone getting involved in extremism. We've got a massive problem here, a huge problem. Four times as many British Muslims joined ISIS, went to fight for ISIS, never joined the British military. So we have their alignment will be with Islam first, Islam second, Islam third. Not democracy, not our rule of law, not their political parties, Islam. You have to understand Islam. People need to get their heads out of their arse, start researching who Muhammad was, start really understanding what the agenda of Islam will be. What do you think, and I'm going to do this, I'm working on something now, yeah. You go to cities, go to Manchester, look at the Christmas market. It's fortified. It has bollards this big. We'll call them diversity barriers, yeah. It's fortified. You've got armed police with machine guns. Do you know the promotion for the Manchester Christmas market is where you can buy your halal meat at the Christmas market. Your halal meat. Where do you buy your bacon sandwich? At the Eid celebrations. We're totally changing everything. Now you look at Manchester, then look, they've just banned the one in, they've cancelled the most historic Christmas market in the UK has now been cancelled. The Jewish festivals are getting cancelled. Go to Paris, Christmas market was cancelled. Go and look in Germany, we've just had more arrests this week of men who were planning another terrorist attack on a Christmas market. We had the previous Christmas attack. I'm going to Germany in two weeks to show people what their Christmas markets now look like. 5% Muslim population, yeah. I'm going to also go to Eastern Europe to show you how beautiful their Christmas markets are, how free and safe they are. What's the difference? It's the Islamic community. Now 5%, what do you think it looks like when you've got 20%? Do you think your children are going to enjoy the same freedoms you've enjoyed? Do you think your Christmas celebrations are going to continue to be the same? No, they're not. More are going to get massacred, more are going to get killed. It's going to become dangerous. say this out loud, it's now dangerous to go to a Christmas market in Great Britain. What do you want for your kids? What point do you say enough's enough? What point do we look and say hold on a minute, we're losing our freedoms, we're losing our culture, we're losing our identity, while you throw diversity down our throat and we're not going to tolerate it anymore. I want my kids to go to a free and safe Christmas market but we don't have them anymore, yeah, but that's at five percent. The increasing demographic of the Islamic community is going to continue to rise yeah because we're allowing it to. We give benefits, stop benefits for more than two, my local imam's got three wives and 14 kids. End it! Stop it! We're paying for it. They've got three houses. Just that one Muslim man has three separate houses with 14 children in it that we pay for. Okay, we are paying for our own demise. We are funding our own takeover. So at some point, and again I'll stress, yes there's some lovely Muslims, but I want freedom for my children, okay, and those lovely Muslims ain't stopping anything. Yeah, they're not stopping it. We need to stop it. Our governments need to stop it. We need to elect leaders like Geert Wilders, Hopefully Le Pen wins, I hope Filip Dewinter, I hope we see the rise of these leaders. I know that overton window is going to shift, what is acceptable to say now, certainly after Geert Wilders' election, after he stormed the election. The mood of Europe has changed, the people are awakening and unfortunately we still have total cowards in our parliament. I can't see one political party in the UK, currently the main ones anyway, that will address these issues or talk about. I've seen many people even on our so-called GB News saying, well, Geert Wilders can't agree with all of his policies. Really? Which one? Because he's putting his people first. He's defending his country first. And that's his job. That's why he's elected to do so now, yeah, is to protect Dutch people. End the immigration now. Stop endangering us now. Stop adding to the problem. When you solve the problem, maybe look at it, but at the minute it needs to stop. But we're seeing that political hoop across Europe, AFD, they're panicking with their rise and of course Freedom Party in Austria. But I want to ask you about support. I've been pleasantly surprised with some of the voices who've come out to support you and I don't know on the journalism side, I don't know whether, not on the political side, of course not, but on the journalism side, and I don't know whether some journalists are thinking, well, if they come for Tommy because he's simply reporting on an event, they'll come for me. I don't know if it's about themselves, but maybe talk about some of the, when this goes out tonight, you'll have been on TNT with James Freeman. I saw you with Mahyar Tousi. Tell us about some of those positive sides because journalists are wakening up and therefore the message gets out further. I'll say certain ones of them are legit, Mahyar Tousi's legit. I've watched him for not just recent but before it was acceptable to speak out, he was speaking out. Some of them now I think are turning because they realize it's acceptable to turn. It's like, they realise that the public mood's there. You just have to read the comments on any article that's negative about me. Read the comments. Any journalist that comes out and slates me and says anything negative about me, just read the comments. They realise the public are not on that side, yeah? The public are awake and they're just jumping, like many of them do, like politicians do, when it becomes mainstream. All the people who have said Tommy Robinson's toxic, don't want to stand near him, can't speak about him, they'll all then be wanting to. And I find it frustrating at times, as I see people and I think, mate, since 2009 we've been banging this drum. If you'd have listened back then and you wouldn't have gone with the far-right racist label, which is total lies, totally unfounded, zero evidence of, in fact all the evidence that any research has done shows the total opposite. We're a moderate voice. You will end up getting real extreme voices if you continue to suppress the public. But I just think I've been encouraged as well that people are, I've been encouraged that mainstream platforms are having these discussions. And unfortunately a lot of people have had to sacrifice a lot of things. I'm not just talking about myself. There's lots of people who are tempted to have these conversations, who would have lost their jobs, who would have been frowned upon, who have been labelled by their families, by their friends, by their community, by politicians, anything. We're seeing it in Ireland now. Ireland's going through the same faze. Anyone who says anything racist, far-right, extremist, that will break. That dam is breaking. It's going to break and people will not care. Influential figures like Conor McGregor help that. The more influential figures that have these discussions, I just watched the Trigonometry podcast recently with a grooming victim and the fact that she's sitting explaining to them that it is religious, it is racial, yeah, it's unthinkable that a mainstream podcast would have been too scared to have that discussion. A truthful, honest discussion on where the hate comes from, which is what we need to do. We need to understand where the hate's come from. Stop, oh it's from, it's because of the Israeli conflict. No, it's not, right. What, take Israel out of the equation, you don't think there's no hate here? What about all the rapes of the entire generation of our daughters? Where do you think that comes from? We're not even allowed to examine it. You're just called an Islamophobe or an ist or an ism, whatever word they use at the minute to beat you down. No, I want to stop the rapes. I want to stop the Islamisation of my nation. I don't want to just stop it, I want to de-Islamise it, because there's so many people here who shouldn't be here. They're guests here. Many of these people, the man who beheaded Samuel Paty, the schoolteacher, who the pupils actually set him up, children set him up to be beheaded. The man who beheaded him was not, he had come to France, he's a guest in France. These are radical jihadists. Get rid of them, right? Send them back. We don't want them here. At that point of just worrying about offending people has gone. The whole European Court of human rights. They're jihadists. We're at war, they want to kill us. Get rid. We're fed up of watching as children or families are blown to pieces and forever have to pick up the pieces for someone who shouldn't even be here. We just need leaders to come out and be strong. I think that Douglas Murray has been incredibly strong on this issue and helping to make people aware. And it's so important that people who have platforms just start speaking the truth. It's not hatred to say you do not want jihadists walking the streets with us. It's not hatred to point out that you have no idea who's coming in. They just admitted they've lost 17,000. In that 17,000 migrants, how many of them have a jihadist mindset? In fact, all you have to do is go through Pew Research of the countries they've come to, to understand that they shouldn't be here anyway. Their values and their mindset and their beliefs don't fit with Western values. Sharia law of the European Court of Human Rights already rules Sharia law, this is coming back to 2007, is incompatible with Western democracy and freedom. So anybody wants Sharia law, see you later, you've got to go, you're not welcome here. And to say that is not extreme, it's not hatred, it's now current, it's needed. We have to have brave, fearless voices in this debate and argument and sensible as well. It's sensible to say we do not want an alien ideology here that wishes to enslave our people, that wishes to overthrow our democracy and replace it and that voice will only get louder as the demographic changes. Tell us, just to finish off with you on, obviously, when actually did you find out you were back on Twitter? I was in Spain, sitting in a restaurant, and I was just... I saw... It pop up, @TRobinsonNewEra. I was like, what the fuck? And I was like, and so I had to check. And I was like, that's my account. It had 300,000 followers, it had 305,000, but my account had 475. So I was a bit confused. That shows they must've deleted another 170,000 people. They deleted our whole movement. They deleted, the same with Facebook. When Facebook, when Facebook deleted me, I had 1.2 million followers. But what they'd done is, anyone who had shared my stuff positively was also then deleted. So what they'd done was they cleared Facebook of our entire movement. They got rid of the entire movement of truth-tellers, people who were opposed to the Islamisation and open border immigration. They got rid of all of them. And that wasn't, so they made me a person of hate in 2019 or whatever, yeah? They went back to people who had posted three years prior, before I was a person of hate, and started deleting all their accounts. But yeah, I realised and then I looked and then do you know what? I don't remember any passwords. Anyone who knows me knows this, yeah? every time I get locked out of my phone, or every time I get a phone taken off my by the police, I can never get back into my iCloud. I have to start a new iCloud. So what happened, I sat there and I thought, well, that's my account. I don't know the password to the email address. I don't know the password to the account. So I'm looking at it. I want to be straight on there. It was a frustrating 48 hours. I'm thinking, I want a tweet. I'm back. He's giving back my account. but I couldn't so it was a yeah it's frustrating and then, and then thank you to Ian in the United States who managed to get my email address changed for me so then I received an email and then I was thinking is it true, is it real, are they gonna do this and then I received an email from them saying here's access to your account. Then I danced around my room, screamed a lot, shouted a lot, and thought, here we go, we're back, let's awaken the British public. I had to watch as all the hard work we'd done to educate people from 2009, 2015, 2017, was being undone through a highly funded propaganda piece to make Islam fashionable. It was then becoming fashionable. It's like, what? Influencers were all converting, probably under the influence of mass amounts of money, mass amounts of money. I think that what Qatar, what Saudi Arabia, what Dubai realise, do you know if you look at the figures, I've gone through this, of how much they spent to influence Islam in Europe. Look at Qatar and France. Qatar literally funds the entire Islamic community in France to build mosques, to build madrasas. Their goal, like Luton town centre, my hometown, has a shop called Discover Islam. It's funded hugely. It has a shop. Their job, and I'll quote the man who opened it, who when he opened it, my local Luton council opened it with him, his job was to bring Islam into every home in Luton. These are conversion centres funded massively. And that's where the influence used to be, getting them out on the street and converting them. Then they realised the influence is with this. It's with social media influencers. If they can get certain individuals, Andrew Tate, lots of others, Sneako, all over people are converting, boxers are doing it. I'd ask how much are these people receiving? Because what they now realise is, if we can get in, he's got the next generation of youth. If we get him to start putting out Quranic verses, how cool Islam is, telling people that Islam is the only solution to these problems, then they are converting more than they could ever dream of for a fraction of the money, because they spend billions building mosques, building madrassas, pushing it and their goal, all of them, is to influence with Islam on our country, on our people, on your children. So now I'm back. I feel that I can enlighten the public to the true nature of Islam and the dangers of it and that again is not like, look, not every Muslim, but I think most Muslims are naïve to the agenda of Islam. Most Muslims who you say are beautiful people, who I know are beautiful people, do not follow the Quran to the literal interpretation. They're not following it word to word. They pick the good bits and ignore the bad bits. I'm sorry, with the growing influence of Islam on Europe, you cannot ignore the bad news. We cannot continue to have our borders open with all this hatred that spewed against us, with these people who are being brought up from the age of four or five, indoctrinated to believe this is the word of God, to believe Mohammed who beheaded 600 in one day, who raped children, who murdered, who tortured, to believe he was perfect. Far from it. We need a big discussion on it and now's the time. It was great to see you back and when you and Katie were put back on the same day. I messaged Katie and she didn't know. I said, your account's back, our account's back. She was like, what? She didn't know, she looked the fuck out. But she didn't know, yeah, I messaged her. And then she put a tweet out and I was thinking, I can't even put a tweet out. It was so good. And of course, the other two that were persona non grata are Bannon and Alex Jones in the States. And I'm intrigued why they... Gavin McInnes got his back recently. Gavin McGuinness got his back. Okay, yes, I saw Gavin get his yes, yes. I have hope. And everyone who hasn't broke the law, these are Elon Musk's words. If you haven't committed a crime, if you haven't used your platform to commit a crime, I've never been arrested for anything, hate crime, racial, I've never even been arrested for any of it. Everything I put out is factual and backed up by scripture or evidence. And unfortunately, we went through five or six years where the truth and facts were deemed as hate speech. Elon Musk has given us back our ability to have discussions, free and open discussions, which is the way, which is what's needed, even with Muslims and with their imams and with their leaders. Let's talk, let's debate and let the public make their own mind up. They're going to be on our side. 100%. Let me just leave people with the books again. Trsilenced.com, trsilenced.com. Get a hold of them by buying the books you support, Tommy, and if you've had them before, or get another copy and pass it on to a friend, wrap it up as a Christmas gift. Tommy, thanks so much for coming on. Always good to have you and thanks for coming. If I'm successful in having my conditions removed, I'll see you on the 12th. Sounds good, I will see you then. Thanks so much, Tommy. See you later, bruv.

DIRTY SECRETS, 4min., USA Directed by Prathiba Natesan Batley DIRTY SECRETS is autobiographical dance short film with an all women cast and crew, that traces a lifetime of sexual abuse and harassment across my lifespan in both the east and the west which is a surprisingly common story. This is an international collaboration across a cast and crew from the US, Malaysia, and India. https://www.eyakkamdance.org/ https://www.instagram.com/eyakkamdance/ Get to know the filmmaker: My dance company Eyakkam's mission is to make the beautiful, traditional dance form of Bharatanatyam which has a troubled past and present more current. Eyakkam means movement in my mother tongue Tamil meaning a social movement, a political movement, a physical movement, or a musical movement. I want to remove the caste and religious hegemonies from the dance form while giving women more agency as actors and creators. I want to use this dance form to talk about current issues and take it to the masses rather than to just a few classes or castes. I cannot exactly point out when I started thinking about writing/making Dirty Secrets, but I remember being affected deeply every time I or someone else experienced sexual harassment/abuse/violence. Like I say in my film, we share, comment, like, subscribe, or cancel but often do nothing. When the Nirbhaya gang rape case (in Delhi) and a series of inhuman sexual violence cases became more public in India I realized how women and their bodies were weaponized by the political organizations or groups in question. It is perhaps the anger or ineptness that I cannot change people's minds or perhaps it is the hope that I might spark a debate amongst survivors to come out and discuss their struggles more openly that motivated me to make this film. And finally, the chair I sit on has four legs – my husband without whom I could not have had the courage to talk about my personal experiences, my brother who is an unwavering supporter of my works, my dance teacher who is like my second mother, and my late mother who trusted me to do what I believed in irrespective of popular opinion.

Wembley is still weeks away, but we're excited at the prospect of three finals in which we have no real idea who is going to win. Leopard print gear is about to sell out across Leigh as they at the national stadium for the first time since 1971, and Hull KR are hoping for a better time than in 2015, as they return there too. The Wigan/Saints final is in the bin, but will the neutrals turn out now those "boring old sides" won't be there. In addition, Leeds and St. Helens will make history in the first Women's decider there, while Halifax and Batley meet to guarantee a new name on the 1895 Cup. Plenty to talk about on the pitch, which is what we want!
This week we move into the political and interview Tim Dixon, Co-CEO of More in Common. He speaks of the profound impact of the death of his friend, Jo Cox (Labour MP for Batley and Spen) who was brutally murdered in 2016 in a politically motivated attack by a constituent. Tim is no stranger to crises but aptly describes his longest day as one where the professional and personal collide.

David Atherton is a journalist and broadcaster and a prolific tweeter. His regular updates and commentaries on the clash between Islam, our Western freedoms and the impact of uncontrolled immigration have made him a voice of reason. He joins us to discuss the latest grooming gang trial that is simply the latest of regular instalments of an ongoing attempt to punish these Muslim Pakistani rape gangs. And with the BBC now producing documentaries on forced marriages we need to ask what is the cost to our society of uncontrolled immigration. So join us this episode as David covers all of this and much more. David Atherton is a London-based journalist and broadcaster. He writes for 'The European Conservative', and a number of leading publications as well as being a regular on national TV and radio stations, as well as his popular Twitter account on social media.

Transcript (Hearts of Oak) Hello, Hearts of Oak, and welcome to another interview coming up in a moment with David Atherton, who I followed for many years @DaveAtherton20. And I think I started following him because of his exposure of the grooming gangs and willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with Tommy for what he is doing. Anyone who does that is a brave individual and seeks truth more than position or fame. So I think that was why, we haven't met before. So first time we met on the interview, always good fun doing it that way. You never know how things will go. We had a great conversation. We look into, obviously, some of the more recent cases of groups of Muslim Pakistani men who have been part of rape gangs going through the legal system and being prosecuted. All historic, but they're also more current. But this is historic the one we looked at from 2000 to 2006, 11 men jailed, or 11 men about to be jailed, being charged. Only three of them with the first name Muhammad. And we also look at the failure of the authorities to deal with this. Turning a blind eye, council leaders, police, politicians, all turning a blind eye. Basically not wanting a race war, a religious war. So we go into that and then we end up looking at immigration and how that is the, part of driver behind this, that clash that we have between Islam and the freedoms we have in the West and those from Islamic nations and that incompatibility that we are finding with the freedoms that we, have had, still have. So I know you'll enjoy David's expert thoughts on this as I have over the last few years. And it's wonderful to have David Atherton with us today. David, thank you so much for your time. (Dave Atherton) Pleased to be here. Thanks a lot for the invite. Not at all. I enjoyed following your Twitter feed that people can see there @DavidAtherton20 and they can follow that. So I wanted you on for a while, but sometimes things take longer than expected. But thank you for coming on. Before we get on to some of the topics that you have been posting on, could I ask you maybe just take a moment and introduce yourself to our viewers? Yeah, sure. No problems. I spent most of my life in recruitment. So I've always had a real job, so to speak. And funny enough, it was when the smoking ban came in in 2007 that I became quite politically active. I always had an opinion, but then I became politically active about trying to get it reversed, or at least amended to a certain extent. That took me into writing about it. I've got a lot of invites for TV and radio to defend smokers' rights. Last night I was on talk TV. That came up in conversation and it's still one of the things I talk about. And from then on, you know, I was asked by Raheem... Kassam. Yeah, one and only Raheem to write with a commentator, then he took me with him to Breitbart, and here we are today, journalist and broadcaster. So yeah, I can't forget Raheem's name. You picture him in the head there. So that's my background. And one of the things that I've, you know, I think politicians think far too short term. They want an instant fix, you know, to the problem so they can get re-elected. And they completely fail to see the world ahead of them. Where will mass immigration take us into the future? I'm not suggesting that all immigrants are bad, certainly not. The vast majority are perfectly decent people who make a contribution to this country. But unfortunately, there are certain sectors of the community that don't. And this needs to be pointed out, it needs to be discussed. But without being called gammon, racist, bigot all the time. Yeah, that does come up. So, well, let's, I think the focus probably, and was our initial focus whenever we launched and then COVID tyranny all took over. But was on the culture clash that we see, the clash with Islam and our freedoms in the West, and the clash from other cultures that aren't suited to a Western lifestyle through all types of restrictions on freedom, restrictions on women's position, restrictions on right to choose and change religions, all of that. So that was certainly want to be our focus and then we get thrown a COVID curveball and the focus. But one of your, maybe we'll start on one of the ones recently is this here, 11 men charged in Rochdale grooming investigation. And this is a story we see time and time again. I always have interested that the BBC covered this, but they didn't cover it. It's not a proper story to them. It's a, oh, we'll put it in the Manchester section. So it's not on their main, because they think 11 men getting arrested for rape, basically more or less weekly, isn't an issue. But this is between 2000 and 2006 at Greater Manchester. This is obviously a story that you see regularly and you report on regularly and highlight. Tell us about this. Right, indeed. Right, well, obviously, you know, for 30 years, you know, Pakistani heritage, rape gangs, they were either protected, ignored, or covered up by the establishment, and by the establishment I mean by the Labour Party, social services, and local councils particularly, actually, will cover things up. Yeah, so what I'll do is I'll try and dig out a quote in the wake of the 2015 jailing of 22, Pakistani heritage rapists, where a moderate imam commented that they actually, local imams actually encouraged the girls, sorry, encouraged the men in the congregation to go out and rape white girls because they wore short-sleeved shirts and mini skirts and things like that. No, it actually says they deserve to be treated like filth. This was published in the Telegraph. This was published in the Telegraph. But anyway, moving on from here, one of the Greater Manchester Police. Rochdale's in the Greater Manchester Police Area. And the Greater Manchester people were put in special measures and Maggie Oliver fought valiantly to get these girls justice from the Greater Manchester Police. I think we have now turned a corner in the sense that the councils won't be allowed to get away with this. They're probably the main offenders, because the Labour Party, 90% of Muslims vote Labour. It's their core vote they don't want to lose. For example, Kim Ledbetter, the Batley and Spen MP, she spent her time talking about the Batley grammar school teacher. She was talking about Palestine in Parliament, you know? You know, what's that got to do, you know, what's that got to do? Because all her constituents are Muslims and they are, by and large, most of them are anti-Semitic. So I look upon this as a positive, positive thing. That girls, women now, obviously women now, are feeling bold and brave enough to go to the police. And report their past rapes and full marks to the police for actually following through and arresting these people and investigating the cases. So I look upon that as being quite positive now. And I must say, the people we have to thank for that, for keeping it in the public eye, are people like Tommy Robinson. I had no idea. I remember, I think it was 2007, I think, you know, Nick Griffin is not my cup of tea. He really is a genuine, foul, nasty fascist, you know. But, you know, when he was accused, when he was up in court, he was accused of citing racial hatred because he suggested that there were white girls being raped by Pakistani heritage men. And I thought, well, mate, you've really done it now, haven't you? You deserve every single year you get for that, mate. Oh, but you're right. Again, it was Tommy Robinson. I dismissed what he said at the time, it was 2006, 2007, whatever it was. But when Tommy Robinson formed the EDL and he brought it to our attention, There's a video of him from 2011 on BBC's Newsnight been interviewed by Jeremy Paxman, and he said the same thing in I thought, Tommy mate. You're gonna be in trouble, you know and then we move onto 2013 when the Xerof cell I mean God you're gonna give the guys full credit, practicing Muslim director of public prosecutions in the Northwest, he brought to trial the Rochdale rapists, and they were all jailed. And you've got to pay tribute to the guy. You've got to be fair here. He was the person, I think, who moved the Titanic around, or the ocean liner around. And it was not a figment of our imagination, and it moved on. And there was a Alexis Jay report of 2014, you know, really makes your hair curl. I'm surprised the government appointed a vi that was so blunt, so blunt about what was going on there. And there's an article also in the BBC that one of the local women who voted community leaders said that the whole of the community knew what was going on in Rotherham, but they turned a blind eye. The Imams, the Muslim establishment, the local councils knew exactly what was going on. They turned a blind eye. Yeah, we see that time and time. I will get on that in a bit, but two things pick up. One was, I love when you watch Tommy with someone who, I mean, Tommy is very much like Nigel Farage and that Nigel would be horrified to have the same sentence, but actually they're individuals who are Marmite and yet they are lovable characters. You put Tommy with someone and actually he's such an infectious personality that if you put someone who disagrees verbally, then if they give him 10 minutes after that, they would actually see him quite differently because he is a warm, hospitable, friendly person. And that goes in, and he's not doing it out of hatred, but he's doing it out of concern for country. Sure. Well, he grew up in Luton, he went to school with other Pakistani heritage children. Some were his mates and some were nasty bullies and pieces of work, you know, who beat you up nicked your wallet and took your lunch money. You know, he saw some of the women who did marry some of the Asian men and they lost contact with their family, you know, they were forced to wear burqas and hijabs and what have you. He saw what cultural devastation that was happening. And it's all too difficult to mention publicly. I think what the government is doing here is, we talked about different cultures here. I think, I always like pointing out on Twitter, you know, I always like to ask the question, why do you think Britain is a relatively rich country and countries like Afghanistan and Pakistan and what have you are relatively poor countries? They can never answer the question. The answer is, we went through the enlightenment in the 17th century, whereby logic and facts and truth overrose superstition and religion. And it led us to free speech, free inquiry, and led to scientific and intellectual developments. And from 1215 Magna Carta, we believe in the rule of law. I've seen lots of Asian men turn around and say, If this was reversed, if white men were raping Muslim girls, they wouldn't bother going to the police. They'd go round mob handed and give the geezer a good spanking. You know, we want the rule of law, we want to go to the police, we expect the police to look into it for us, and justice take its course, you know, and that's how you get a civilised society. You know, their culture seems to be based around mob rule, you know, who's got the biggest baseball bat. Yeah, and with those 11 men, another aspect, I'm intrigued to know your specific thoughts on this, but out of the 11, three of them were of course with a lovely name Muhammad. Only three actually this time. But how, because I see it actually as probably even more of the religious influence. Because of Islam historically spreading by the sword, because of Muhammad having sex slaves, because that was the norm. So it very much being rooted in Islam but also the added view of women in a Pakistani culture context, but that is predominantly from an Islamic heritage. So how do you put, because again, I'm intrigued that, who's the home secretary, it wasn't, not Priti Patel, Suella Braverman, that she has talked about Pakistani gangs, Pakistani individuals, but yet is still afraid to use the word Islam. And I think everything should be on the table to have a proper discussion. Well, indeed. Well, my analysis of the Pakistani-Asian Muslim community is 80% decent, moderate people. They might be a little bit more conservative than us. They might not be pro-LGBT. There was a survey done in 2016 where they found that 52% of Muslims in this country would like to see homosexual acts made criminalized and people jailed, 52 percent. But 80 percent, by and large, rub along, moderate, decent, some are actually quite liberal people. What you got from there on is the 20 percent extremist nutters or whatever you want to call them. And unfortunately, from what I can see of the Islamic community, is the 20 percent tail wags the 80% moderate dog. You know, I was reading about a mosque in Glasgow, there was a battle between the moderates and extremists. And of course, the extremists won. And they won by going around and physically intimidating people and beating them up and things like that, you know. And, you know, you carry on your campaign, we're going to do you sort of attitude. So the problem we have is, is this permeates throughout throughout the whole religion. For example, to give you an example, from the Bible, Leviticus says something along the lines of, man shall not lie down with a woman as he does with a man. It's an abomination. So the Bible is full of quotations about justifying slavery, justifying killing gay people and what have you. We ignore it. We come from the Enlightenment and we believe what goes on in the home, privacy in your own home and club or whatever, is your business, not religions or the states. Now with the Koran, from what I can work out, is, do you know what I mean by abrogated or unabrogated? Yep, yep. The later verses override the earlier verses, the violent verses override the peaceful, which is a real bummer for Muslims. Sure, indeed, yeah. Well, indeed, yeah. From what I can work out, the Koran in its current form will never be abrogated, it will never be changed, it will not have new interpretations or things ignored. It is the final word of God and has to be done to the letter down to the last full stop. You know, it can't be changed. And the Qur'an says that us Kafirs, us infidels, are second-class citizens. It is quite straightforward in saying that you can do what you like to people who are non-Muslims. Because it's written in our book. And that includes rape, slavery, and everything else. And until you convert to Islam, you have no choice but to pay, at the best pay extra taxes. Jizya I think they call it, don't they? And so this is what we're up against. It's a fund, you know, the minority of fundamentalists who rule the public space on Islamic spaces. And, you know. The government knows that. Did you see Robert Jenrick's, Jenrick speaks recently, comments? No, no. Okay, the immigration minister. He said the far right, oh blimey. The far right is something we should not, we should listen to, some of the far right, excuse any paraphrasing here, should be listened to and not private or made private or marginalised. And he actually said, these people who had different cultures to us. No, he sounded like Tommy Robinson on an average day. Right, it's amazing how terms are used and never defined and that's where the confusion, but actually just another spot, of course, if we had an issue with Orthodox Jews running around killing and raping on the basis of Leviticus or something then that would be an issue, but you're right that doesn't happen. It is the problem with Islam and the understanding the basis does seem to be historically in Islam. But this is another, and this is an issue I think my frustration and anger is against the Muslim Pakistani community but also is against the English system. And here your story, Rouhan Adil when age 15 filled himself raping a schoolboy, shared photos of paedophiles online and the police found hundreds of pictures, and he got sentenced to 28 months detention in a young offenders institution of which he will serve half because that's what happens to those who rape children. So he will serve just over a year and I'm amazed that the English legal system thinks that raping children is punishable by a one-year sentence. That's where I think we've got, because if the sentences were huge, if people were locked away for life, then actually that would be a deterrent. A year isn't really a deterrent, is it? No, it's not. No. Um, someone, someone like that should be in jail for what he's like. You probably take his age as mitigation. I would have given him five, six years. personally speaking. If he was 18 at the time I would have given him... 10, 15 years if I've been the judge. And also as well, you know, I really, maybe I ought to do some research, maybe some research here as well, but I always get the impression white people get treated more harshly than the Asian people. I just get this impression, you know, when you were abused multiple times, you know, a 13 year old girl, you know, maybe literally hundreds of of times. There was a one about the greater Manchester which I've forgotten her name now. But she had 177 Asian names, I say Asian, it's interchangeable with Pakistani heritage. And she had 177 names on her phone and she went to the police. You know, her mother went to the police to report it. And they did absolutely nothing. You know, when you're being gang raped by 177 people or possibly up to 177 people and you're 13 years of age, that is 20 years in prison, at least. And, you know, if you're coming out in 10 years, I'll probably give you 30 years for that as well. You know, I don't know whether the judge is being culturally sensitive or whether they think the girls were, to a certain extent, culpable for the wrong behaviour? I don't know. It is just completely unacceptable. And also, one thing I noticed as well, a lot of them get let out a lot earlier as well. There's one guy who was given 20, he was a gang rape leader who was given 20 years, he was let out after five. You know, I just don't know how this is going on. And I'll tell you what, you know. When they do come out of jail, they still don't think they've done anything wrong, some of them anyway. Maybe a majority still think we haven't done anything wrong. Well, that's this. So I wonder, actually, and I'm I'm not someone who is for capital punishment. I believe that life is sacrosanct. So I set that aside. But I do think that actually jail has to be a deterrent, but it has to be rehabilitation. And if someone has not been rehabilitated, then I don't see how they can be let back into society. So I actually think if you cannot, if you do not know whether someone will actually not carry out raping children once again then I think they can be released and that means they need to be held until it can be said that actually they're no longer a danger to society. Although they should go through physical or chemical castration. Yep, yep, yep. I think it has to be looked at and how the conversation to the British public because it's to let someone, we've, the legal case we have been involved in with Liz. I mean, her perpetrator, rapist, was in the open prison after something like three years. Ready to be released. An open prison where you're free to come and go and the individual is raping children. It doesn't connect at all. That is not a punishment. No, that is not a punishment. You know, for example, date rape, for example, you know, assume there's sort of two Europeans, you know, involved in date rape. You know, he said, she said sort of type of thing. Most get five, six years for that. That's two adults. I don't want to be a rape apologist or whatever and minimise the crime. But you know, there's obviously some degree of cooperation, as it were, obviously went back to somebody's place. And, you know, of course the geezer deserves five, six years. But, you know, when you're doing that, you know, you're feeding a 12, 13 year old alcohol and drugs and you're your mates are coming around and, you know, in some dirty little flat above a kebab shop, you know, that's got to be as far worse, worse crime, you know? Yeah, yeah. I want another video you'd reposted was about Oldham, council leader. So let's play this lovely individual. I've just had local elections, but really if you're a UK viewer, you get what you put in. And if you don't go and vote, don't engage, then actually you get individuals like this who are happy for children to be raped but let's just play this 30 second clip. Let me play it oh bless Emily I know let me play her... (video plays) Our publication of that report two weeks ago, I spoke to a number of victims and they came forward and rang me that week the victims that were referenced in the report but also other victims of CSE and Oldham and speaking to those people and how it has affected their lives. You can't say it's destroyed their lives because the people I spoke to, it hasn't, but it has had an impact into adult life. Oh, well, that's rape apologist. It hasn't, it hasn't destroyed their life? And the thing I can't get around is, if you are men, women will obviously were built differently, I will not even to get into the gender conversation. But I thought as a woman that she, when she saw the stories, when she met with these girls that she would be horrified because, and yet she seemed to say, being raped as a child does not destroy your life. Where do you go with that? Whenever that's what our politicians believe. You know, it's an overused cliché, mic drop time, you know, but, I'm sorry, that is just so offensive and revolting and disgusting. You know, it really renders me speechless on this one. You just, you know, what the hell are you saying, darling? You know, you know. To my mind, you know, if I was Keir Starmer, I'd suspend her for that. And make her come out with a full apology. I've got an idea for a letter. Thank you very much for that one, Peter. You know, you cannot say that. I believe she has slightly retracted that. One of one of her fiercest critics on Twitter, Roger, I think his name is. She has backtracked on that to a certain extent, but really, she should be banished from polite society for the rest of her career for that. She should not be holding any positions of power or authority. She should retire. She should be suspended. should be fired and disappear into the distance and never heard of again. If only, I think probably Sir Keir Starmer will get down on his knee instead to the to the rapist and that's what his response seems to be to crime. This was interesting, you'd put this post up and it's looking at the crime index for cities in Europe and you said does anyone see a correlation? Now, I do see a correlation, and actually number 20 doesn't come in there, which is number 20 is Brussels, which is, of course, 30, is it 30% or 35% is Islamic. And then we've got the beautiful city of Bradford there in the UK at the top and all in between. But to me, actually, it connects the dots of mass immigration, changing cities, and also very high Islamic populations, and our politicians are wondering, why is crime going up? Sure, absolutely. You know, we're back to cultural differences here, whereby we, one of the reasons I believe Europe has, and America has advanced so much, is we've learned to cooperate at a non-family level. The reason, you know, the Middle East and parts of Asia, that the reason they employ a family because they're the only people they can trust. I'm sure we all nick pens and elastic bands from work, but we'd never think of defrauding the company of a substantial amount of money. Most employees in this country want to do the best for their company because they get a pay rise and things like that. We've amongst ourselves at a business level and it's worth to a certain political level as well have learned to engage with each other and just trust each other. Now it's one of the reasons why in Scandinavia that the government spend so much of their money because the people actually trust their government and the civil servants to spend their money properly. But we've learned cooperation. That's the reason why places like Somalia and Afghanistan and Pakistan and places like that, they're always fighting each other. It's clan warfare. They haven't learned to cooperate as a society. Obviously this is a conversation that politicians don't want to have and you see snippets of it, certainly with the grooming gangs, with the rape gangs you see papers putting it out, as a story I remember the Daily Mirror I think did a massive like 18-month investigation in Telford, they put out a story and it seems to be more entertainment than actually solving an issue, it's simply they get an exclusive story, they're happy to talk about rape on their front page and a couple of pages inside, it maybe does it for a day or two, and then it moves on to whatever. Coronation or the weather or something else. And I'm wondering, I mean, are you more positive that actually we will address this as a society? Because these cases, they're still happening more or less every other week. I believe we are actually in the present sense, we are addressing it to a certain extent. I had a guy from LBC in touch with me a couple of weeks ago, and he wanted to do a piece on grooming gangs. And put me in touch with a couple of people and did a five-minute segment for the Nick Ferrari show. So I was able to point him in the right direction. You mentioned the Daily Mirror there and the BBC are covering it to a certain extent. I think they have no choice. This is where social media, particularly Twitter and Facebook, have done such a good job, and GETTR, that you can actually go out there and report on it and let people know. And so I look upon that as a positive sign here. But the thing about the BBC, and what I noticed about the LBC report, and probably Sky as well. And GB News have touched on it as well, I know Charlie Peters has. GB News is quite different. I'll leave GB News to one side if I can. But if you look at the Sky News articles and the LBC article and Daily Mirror article, they talk about grooming gangs, but they don't talk about the ethnicity. You notice that? They don't say, oh, well, you know, well, this needs to be disproportionately, you know, Asian or whatever. They don't mention it. Let's go to the story of how they were raped and what have you. GB News is quite, and Talk TV to a certain extent, are really quite different. When I was on Talk TV last night, I mentioned I got into broadcasting from Defending Smokers' Rights. We had somebody from Ash actually not smoking a health one last night, and it was the first time she's had three people who were against her and disagreed with her. You get on the BBC and ITV like I've done, you know, even the cameraman hates you know, you know, and this is, you know, I've been in touch with Charlie on a couple of matters. And I get the impression he's a genuine guy who wants to do good. And it's really the fact he will go out and call spades, spade shovels and things like that, and tell it how it is. I think it's great news to GB News' credit, and to him personally. You know, and Talk TV, you listen to some of the phone-ins, some of the phone-ins on Talk TV. And so, you know, they know that if you want the screen to light up with phone calls, we're going to talk about immigration today, you know. I don't know if you've seen it, but Talk TV, they've got this screen and there's a room for about 100 phone calls or something like that. And when there's somebody waiting to come on hold, you know, it lights up. And I imagine it'll be great if the whole screen goes white, you know. And I can't believe, you know, some of the language that some of the callers use that go on unchallenged. I'm really, really quite impressed, actually. We've been invaded. They're changing our culture. They don't fit in. I don't think their religion is what we're looking for in this country. I can't believe how much free speech is allowed these days. I think that has changed in that narrative as well. And where I think these people got their ideas was from social media. For example, I was chatting to a producer last night, a presenter of Talk TV, and he said, well, I've never heard of Dave Atherton, how come he's got 58,000 followers? He's not a celebrity, which is true. It's true, isn't it? I got it simply because I've covered immigration on Twitter. That's the reason I've got so many followers. I've been nobbled by Twitter. I posted a Halal slaughter. I put a sensitive marker over it. I didn't go out as it was. Some lefty reported me and now I'm completely nobbled. My impressions are down 80% now. I'm trying to get that reversed. I've tried and I've tried. Anyway, that's by the by. If I had been nobbled, I'd probably have 70,000, 80,000 followers by now. I can just about maintain it at 58,000. The point I'm making here is I think social media and particularly Twitter was crucial in getting the message out and you know that people could see for themselves what was going on. No completely and you have those numbers because people want news and they find you're putting it out so where else do they go? I want to end on one or two of the immigration stories but when you talk about people phoning in and being angry at what immigration has done and the change. And this is one of them. This is Yasmin Mohammed. Very good in what she does. And this is a video of her. I think it's her talking about forced wedding when she was at her forced wedding, she was so disassociated. She didn't really know what was happening and crying and talk about the trauma, the millions of women. And then Emily talks here about the BBC touching on, I think BBC do it for entertainment, but anyway, the forced marriage unit nowadays is over a thousand cases a year. And I would actually love the government to actually go and focus where this is, because I remember just one, I remember my older son in his class, they had a special class, none of the parents were told, and it was about FGM. So I've got my child, my boy being told about it, what has that got to do with him absolutely zero one it should be the girls and two should be the girls from Islamic backgrounds or Asian backgrounds where it happens, like Somalia where it's what 90% or whatever but the, It seems as though our government is wasting resources because they're so scared to be called racist or Islamophobic. Well, they could have stopped FGM in one fell swoop by prosecuting both parents and sending them to jail. You know, it's a case of, you know, you can't make an omelette without cracking some eggs. You know, I'm sorry, if there's got to be five or six parents who've got to go to jail for allowing their daughters to be FGMed. So be it. If they've got to go to care while they're in jail, so be it. Because that would stop at one fell swoop, FGM in this country. And another thing we need to do is, we've got to stop chain migration. Get the mother-in-law in as well, that kind of thing. Also, I think we should, it was Saeed, the Times journalist, Matthew Saeed. He's of Pakistani heritage. He's suggesting that cousin-cousin marriages should be made illegal. And you have to stop, you know, arranged marriages from Pakistan. That has to stop. And you wonder why it's not illegal already. That's the scary thing. Yeah, I think when it comes to genetic births, genetic deformities from birth, 38% come from the Pakistani heritage community. It should be stopped. I'm sorry, arranged marriages are now finished. You can't have any more. I'm pretty sure this needs to be fact-checked. But I still think even in arranged marriage that there are basic requirements for the English language. If there are not, you can't speak English, you can't have a conversation in English, you're not allowed to come into this country. You know, basically, you know, I think something like 59% of marriages in Bradford are with cousins. And it's basically to keep the wealth into the family. That's the reason they do it. And actually, one of the Islamic sects, Tablighi Jamaat, 80 million, I think, out of New Delhi. And actually, in those marriages, actually, the woman does not even attend her own wedding, because she's a woman. So her father attends the wedding on her behalf. She has zero right. And that is the same in the UK for typically up in Dewsbury. That's typically the amount and the government could stop that in an instant. Sure. I know. But you know what will happen, won't you? You know, if we clamp down on in any shape or form, they know they will be out on the streets, you know, vandalizing stuff and being violent. They're going to have to send the riot police in, possibly even the army. No Home Secretary wants to do that, so they appease them. I'm pretty sure you saw the Wakefield 14-year-old boy who's scuffed at Koran. By the way, the people from the mosque, went knocked on her door and threatened her. You know, and, you know, and they obviously the boy, the autistic boy had death threats. And she thought the only way to get out of this is go to the mosque, put a silly veil over her head and, you know, prostrate herself. And did you see the audience? No, no, I missed that. I didn't see no. It was packed to the rafters of middle age and elderly Asian men sitting sitting cross-legged on the floor. Talk about intimidating, intimidating environment, you know, and she had a grovel and apologize and things like that. The thing that really, really stuck in my craw was the chief inspector for the West Yorkshire Police there condoning everything that had happened, you know, because he knows if he'd gone after the people who threatened the autistic boy, you know, the whole of the community will be after him. Whole of the community will be be after West Yorkshire police. This is violence and intimidation, which one day we will pay the price. We've got two ways of going here. We're going to have to go through a period of civil unrest, or we're all going to have to bend the knee to Sharia law. There is no middle ground here. There's no compromise. There's a guy, his surname is Salih, and he heads up the Five Pillars Fundamentalist media site. And people on Twitter were saying, oh, isn't it wonderful that these Muslims are going into Christian churches and preaching and things like that. And someone asked him, well, can you ever see a Christian priest, a vicar or priest being allowed to go to a mosque? And he put one word. Never. It's always one way, it's always one way. But no, you're, I just, one, I think on the FGM and then we'll finish on immigration, but the FGM, I actually think that it's not just actually children should be in care for a while while the parents are in jail. Actually, the children should be taken away. It is better for the children not to be cut up with knives and blades. So whatever the alternative is, is better than child abuse. So I think they should be completely removed. And if that means thousands of children removed from families. But you're right, it will be riots, religious race riots, everything will get burned down. They'll accuse the Home Secretary of, I don't know, folding the page of a Quran, and therefore they can kill her. We see what happens across the world. So yeah. Well, absolutely. This is one of the reasons the government is so pathetic and weak, is they fear the civil unrest repercussions. Well, let's end up on immigration. There are a load of different stories, but this, I thought this was Noah's Ark, but no, it's not Noah's Ark, it's the immigrant ark. Barge to house 500 male migrants off Dorset Coast, says government, and this was last month. But it gives you an idea of what we're facing, because when the government said they were going to house migrants on boats, I thought they were just taking the mick, but no, this thing has come on. They'll need maybe a hundred of these, but 500 male migrants will be housed in this barge, poor people in Dorset that will see this. And it's coming in the coming months. And the vessel, which is currently in Italy, to break from Italy, there must be only one vessel in the world that can host them, but it will be significantly cheaper than hotels. Obviously, if we need to bring boats from Italy to put people in who are illegally coming in the country, we have a problem. And yet, the government don't seem to want to address the problem. They're just going to get barges. And I guess we'll have hundreds of these off the coast. Sure. It's sticking plasters rather than cures, isn't it? And until, well, the long-term solution for this is, we need to go to maybe an American style of public administration, whereby the top civil servants are appointed by the government. That doesn't seem to work that badly, in a sense. So what happened was, six migrants had had enough of Britain, and they got back on the ferry to go back to France. And they were dragged back by the police and brought back to Britain. Because the permanent second, yeah, this is the reason why, the permanent secretary, Matthew Rycroft, or one of his officials, they have a gentleman's agreement with France. They won't return people. And so when Suella Braverman was told by a civil service, we can't send them back. To my mind, Rycroft should have been fired on the spot. But any civil servant, if he doesn't have the authority, primary legislation should be done in a day for that to be done. Three line whip, 80 majority, whatever it is. We have the right to hire and fire anybody in the civil service. And anybody who was in the way should be fired on the spot, over you go. And I'm sorry, Macron, I'm sorry, this might sound a little bit over the top, but if we're returning migrants back to France and they didn't need a Royal Navy escort, so be it. You know, I'm sorry, to my mind what Macron is doing, this is a punishment beating for leaving the EU. And quite frankly, Macron can learn how to behave like a civilised human being, or he needs to be taught. And I'm sorry, I think longer term, there is an existentialist threat to this country from terrorism and other social ills, which in five years' time we'll be bitterly regretting what we did. And this needs to be addressed immediately and with robust matters. And quite frankly, if the whole of the Home Office needs to be fired and we've got to start from the beginning again, so be it. It has to be done. And if we've got to find volunteers to man the border force boats. And also as well, one of the first things I would do if I was Home Secretary, the RNLI, the Royal National Lifeboat Institute, have... what's the word I'm looking for? If due to their actions somebody dies, they can't be accused of corporate manslaughter. They have no legal immunity from what they do. And the first thing I would do is I'd take that legal immunity away. And so if you do make a mess of things, you're going to jail for corporate manslaughter. And that would stop the RNLI boats a split second. Also, these are practical short-term solutions. And so you look, the people in the Border Force, you're staying in port. I'm sorry. We can go out to France, you go to the camps, you hand out leaflets saying, we're not going to pick you up anymore. And that's the end of the thing. And I'm sorry, Macron doesn't like that, too bad mate. Well, let's end just on a picture, which kind of connects with the RNLI, although I don't think Macron can behave like a grown up. I think that's impossible, but I'll let you keep your fingers crossed, David. This was a lovely, lovely poster. 80 years ago, we stopped an entire German army crossing the English Channel. Now we can't stop an effing dinghy. Love it. That is through the RNLI, which have become basically a... Do you want to, for our non-UK viewers, for US viewers, do you want to just let them know what the RNLI is and what it's become? Right. Yeah. The Royal National Lifeboat Institute is a civilian fleet of boats, which is entirely paid out of charitable organizations, and the people are volunteers, but the chief executive earns 180,000 pounds a year, whilst the people who are risk their lives on the sea barely get their expenses covered. They have to give up work, they live self-employed, they lose money. And if they get a 999 call equivalent to a 911 call, they're expected to drop what they're doing, jump in the boats, and rescue the people concerned. In fact, there was actually one guy who was getting married and he got a bleep, but just as he was about to put the ring on her finger, but he had to go. So I believe also there are quite a few RNLI people who actually resigned in protest, over being sent out to pick up migrants in the middle of the sea. It might be 10%, but it is. But the whole point is, like in America, we have this woke culture, the ESG woke type culture, whereby Professor Matthew Goodwin reckons about 16% of the population, the sort of the degree-educated people, you know, the bon passant thinking people, you know, who believe in ultra-liberal policies. And there's nothing at the moment us plebs can do about it, despite the fact that 85% of people oppose it. In Britain, something like 60-70% of people are opposed to immigration still, at the numbers and what have we. You know, the vast majority of people don't mind genuine refugees, you know, fleeing. We don't mind that. The Ukrainians is a good example. They are genuine refugees. But we really do object to all the people who are coming over here freeloading economic migrants. Oh, by the way, let me quote, I don't think I mentioned it, but in Sweden, A research company interviewed refugees who had been given asylum in Sweden because they were fleeing persecution, oppression, wars and what have you. They've asked the question, have you returned home at all? 79% have returned home, gone back to their home country on vacation. 79%. You know, if that's not the biggest sign that, you know, the government are mugs, aided and abetted by the liberal and woke classes, and these people are pathological liars. I've just got, you know, chances, and what have we. I know you have to be stupid, naïve or a complete idiot. Yeah. Well, on that, I think we'll finish up. Before we go, Peter, can I just quote to you very briefly? I managed to find it as we've been talking. Here we are, yeah. I'll just quote you the attitudes that some Muslims have in this country. In 2018, seven men were jailed for raping and pimping out girls from the ages of 11 to 15. Dr Taj Hargey, the imam of Oxford Islamic Congregation, said it was, quote, "bound up with religion and race", adding, quotes, "In mosques around the country a different doctrine is teached" One that denigrates are women who treat whites with particular contempt. "Men are taught that women are second-class citizens, little more than chattels or possessions over whom they have absolute authority." "Their dress code from mini skirts to sleeveless tops is deemed to reflect their impure and immoral outlook." "According to this mentality, these white women deserve to be punished for their behaviour by being exploited and degraded." End of quote. I've seen some things that Tariq has put out and he does seem to be trying to highlight some of that, but it's wonderful. Well, it isn't wonderful, but it's good when you hear the community discussing the problem and hopefully others will wake up to that. Well, David, it's been good to meet you at long last. It happens regularly, but thanks for coming on. I know that if people are not following you they certainly can do, @DaveAtherton20 go and follow David on Twitter.
In broad daylight, on a warm summer afternoon in 2016, British politician, and MP for Batley and Spen, Jo Cox, was murdered in cold-blood. Horrified witnesses at the scene, scrambled at the sound of gunshots, and the sight of an unknown attacker with a sawn-off rifle, and knife in hand. Jo Cox's death stunned the nation, and sent shockwaves through Britain's political circle.As investigators begin to gather evidence that would explain the horrific murder of a beloved politician, wife, and mother of two, the nation is left with a pressing question–what could have possibly led a man with seemingly no history of violence to brutally murder a female MP that he had never met? The answers to that question were more troubling than anyone could have imagined.Join my Facebook group for some great giveaways, discuss case theories and take part in polls for future episodes.

Many are already feeling the pinch of the cost-of-living crisis. Choices between ‘heating and eating' have become routine for some households, as bills and food costs rise. With money at the forefront of everyone's minds, feelings of stress, shame, and embarrassment are causing a decline in mental health. Research has shown that the cost-of-living crisis is having a significant impact on people's mental health, disproportionately affecting women and those from low-income households. Combatting mental health can come from peer support, professional help and public policy, but is the issue ever taken seriously enough? What can be done to address the shame and guilt linked to money worries? For this episode, Katy Balls is joined by Maria Caulfield, who is the Minister for Mental Health where her department also oversees Women's Health. Catherine Rutter, the Director for Customer Inclusion at Lloyds Banking Group. And Kim Leadbeater, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, who received an MBE for her services to social cohesion and combatting loneliness. This podcast is kindly sponsored by Lloyds Banking Group.

Despite the number of documented cases, the poltergeist has consistently been one of the most difficult forms of paranormal phenomena to define with very little consensus over what they are actually supposed to be. Spirits, invisible, unknown energy or childish hoaxes all form the basis of the most common theories that have been presented. In England, the Enfield case is without doubt the most famous poltergeist case and has, over the decades, had all three theories put forward by those that investigated the small, London house. Hundreds of miles north and over the Scottish border in a tiny village named Sauchie is another case that has proven just as difficult to define, despite the contemporary investigator, George Owen concluding, “In my opinion the Sauchie case must be regarded as establishing beyond all reasonable doubt the objective reality of some poltergeist phenomena”.

A Christian chaplain was dismissed after refusing to chant 'smash heteronormativity' at inclusion training at a fee-paying boarding school, an employment tribunal was told. Reverend Dr Bernard Randall, 49, from Long Eaton, Derbyshire, did not join in the 'chant' when urged to do so by the leader of Educate and Celebrate Dr Elly Barnes during an inset session at the independent Trent College, Long Eaton. Extremist groups are using blasphemy to silence free speech, a counter-terrorism expert has warned. William Shawcross, who was appointed by the British government to lead the review of the Prevent counter-terrorism strategy, said the Batley row was an example of how some groups were using blasphemy as a way to curtail free speech. Enoch Burke was arrested yesterday morning for breaching a court order not to teach at his Westmeath school, or be physically present there. After Judge Michael Quinn made his ruling, Mr Burke said: 'It is insanity that I will be led from this courtroom to a place of incarceration, but I will not give up my Christian beliefs.'
Motherslug is the bastard child of Sleep and Electric Wizard after a night of drinking and drugging with Neurosis and Kyuss, very heavy stuff! The group's gargantuan sound must be heard to be believed, which is why guitarist and riff lord Regan was asked to testify on the show. In this chat, we dive deep into the mechanics behind the group's monstrous sound and have a grand old time celebrating their killer new album, Blood Moon Blues.
Reflecting on a superb weekend of international action, a Wheelchair Challenge Cup Final with skill and suspense, all the other stuff that happened, including staying awake during Warrington vs. Hull FC, Batley's win at Post Office Road, and why Fev fans shouldn't be too worried and more. Plus, as a bonus on the podcast, Tom Halliwell and James Simpson speak after that Final and and interview Richard did with Harry Gration back in 2009, to mark his passing.
While polling revealed exclusively by the New Statesman suggests that voters aren't divided on so-called culture war issues, the Johnson administration is putting them at the centre of its political project. To understand why the Prime Minister seems intent on winning a war that doesn't exist, Anoosh Chakelian is joined by Kim Leadbeater, Labour MP for Batley and Spen, who received an MBE last year for services to social cohesion, and Rory Stewart, senior fellow at Yale University's Jackson Institute for Global Affairs and a former Conservative MP and leadership rival to Johnson. They discuss why everything is being cast as a culture war and the strategy's limited success, the real-life consequences of this way of doing politics, and ultimately how we can learn to disagree better.Podcast listeners can subscribe to the New Statesman for just £1 a week for 12 weeks using our special offer.

Devolution, levelling up and local leadership As part of a special series of events on devolution and levelling up, featuring local leaders from across England, the Institute for Government was delighted to be joined by Tracy Brabin, Mayor of West Yorkshire and leader of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority. After just under a year in office, Tracy Brabin discussed her role as mayor, working with the UK government to make levelling up a reality in West Yorkshire, and how she would like to see the powers of mayors evolve. Tracy Brabin was in conversation with Akash Paun, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Government. This event was broadcast live from Leeds in front of an invited audience. There was an opportunity to put questions to the mayor from both the online and in-person audience. Tracy Brabin was elected as MP for Batley and Spen in October 2016. She was appointed Shadow Minister for Early Years in 2017; Shadow Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport in January 2020 and Shadow Minister for Cultural Industries in April 2020. She was elected as the first Mayor of West Yorkshire in May 2021, at which point she was required to step down as MP. #IfGdevo We would like to thank Manchester Airports Group for kindly supporting this event.
Four recent by-elections in the UK - Airdrie and Schotts, Hartlepool, Amersham and Chesham, and Batley and Spen - tell us four different stories about who we are and what determines who we vote for. So how well do we know who we are and how has that ‘who' changed over the last thirty years?Joining David Aaronovitch in the Briefing Room are:James Kanagasoorium, CEO of Stack Data Strategy Paula Surridge, political sociologist from the University of Bristol Rosie Campbell, Professor of Politics at King's College, London Rob Ford, Professor of Political Science at the University of ManchesterProducers: John Murphy, Kirsteen Knight and Ben Carter Editor: Jasper Corbett Sound Mix: Graham PuddifootImage: Liverpool by night Credit: Jenna Goodwin / EyeEm / Getty
After a decade of abuse at the hands of Colin Batley, a young woman made a desperate escape. Early one morning, with her baby in her arms, she ran out of the cul-de-sac that Batley and his church called home and never came back. Now, out from under his grasp, she could bring Batley down.

After Labour narrowly held Batley & Spen in the recent by-election, former Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell talks to me about how the party is losing voters who stuck with it in 2019, let alone failing to win over new supporters; how Muslim Labour voters feel utterly betrayed and disillusioned; how the Tories have been allowed to get away with their catastrophic handling of COVID-19, and Labour aren't setting out a clear vision; whether the left is about to be crushed by the leadership, whether Peter Mandelson is running the party - and what next for the left.Help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

After Labour narrowly kept its seat in the Batley & Spen by election, Keir Starmer's leadership has been spared any challenges. Can he now defy his critics and return to his promises of offering the political vision that is currently lacking, uniting the party and reversing the slide to electoral calamity? We're joined by John McDonnell to discuss the future of the Labour party, Ali Milani and Hamza Ali Shah to discuss Muslim disillusionment with Labour, and Young Labour Chair Jess Barnard to discuss whether young people are permanently going to be turned away.Help us take on the right-wing media here: https://www.patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Former Labour MP George Galloway is one of Britain's most controversial individuals, and is standing in Batley & Spen with the slogan 'STARMER OUT'. We talk about his pitch for the seat, including Palestine - but why he's focusing his fire on the opposition, rather than the Tory government which presided over 150,000 deaths; why he campaigned alongside Nigel Farage after denouncing him; why he campaigned for Brexit after declaring that he'd campaign for Remain like "anyone with any brain cells will be doing"; why he voted Tory after declaring he'd rather remove his eyeballs; and much else.Help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Kim Leadbeater is standing to be Labour's next MP for Batley & Spen. The sister of Jo Cox - who was murdered by a far right terrorist four years ago - she is an energetic campaigner who is fiercely proud of her local roots. We discuss the far right, why she is standing, Labour's vision, why Muslim voters are disillusioned, Palestine and Kashmir, and Keir Starmer's leadership.Help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

When Labour got clobbered in May's elections, Andy Burnham defined the trend by winning a landslide in Greater Manchester's mayoral elections. He tells me what Labour can learn from his success, about whether he has ambitions to replace Keir Starmer, about how devolution is Labour's routemap back, and why the people of Batley and Spen should vote for Labour's Kim Leadbeater.Help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Launched to throw petrol on the raging fires of Britain's culture war and take on the BBC and Sky News, GB News has been an embarrassing flop. Technical failures have been followed by ratings in freefall, and Andrew Neil - founder and the flagship presenter - has taken himself off the air indefinitely after just two weeks. Why was it such a failure, what does it tell us about the media landscape - and is it too soon to write it off completely? We're joined by Director of CLASS think tank Ellie Mae O'Hagan and media expert Leo Watkins.Also, we talk about Matt Hancock's resignation and, with days to go until the Batley & Spen by election, things are getting tense on the ground. We talk to Oli Dugmore, head of politics at JOE, who was there this week, about the latest developments.Help us take on the right-wing media here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.

Weeks after losing Hartlepool to the Tories, Labour has another major test in the Batley and Spen by-election. This is the constituency once represented by Jo Cox - murdered by a far right terrorist in 2016 - and it's a diverse community. But many voters feel disillusioned with the current main opposition, not least British Muslims, 86% of whom voted Labour nationally in 2019 but who feel that loyalty is not reciprocated. With the controversial George Galloway standing, some are determined to vote for him to give Labour a bloody nose. How much further does Labour's electoral coalition have to fragment as its naturally most loyal voters feel taken for granted?I visit the constituency to speak to everyone from George Galloway to Andy Burnham - presumed to be a likely successor as Labour leader - to Kim Leadbeater, Labour's candidate, to local voters to work out what's happening to the opposition - and where that leaves our crisis-stricken country.Videographer: Jack Barraclough.Help make these documentaries happen here: https://patreon.com/owenjones84Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-owen-jones-podcast.
