In this episode, we have a sobering conversation with Emily Edwards, Housing Development Officer for the Scottish Refugee Council. Emily spoke about the current challenges in claiming asylum in the UK, further challenges in the supply and standard of housing for refugees and migrants, and the importance of community integration, amongst a host of other things. A note on this episode, we recorded this conversation with Emily in June 2023, before the Illegal Migration Bill was passed into law in July.

“It was thanks to this country that lots of those rights and protections that exist for refugees are in place … but now… you get that sense in lots of parts of the world, frankly, that the UK isn't playing the active role that it has played historically.” The International Rescue Committee is a global organisation that helps people affected by humanitarian crises. The IRC supports people who have been caught in conflict and been forced to flee their homes, enabling them to survive, recover and rebuild their lives. Founded at the call of Albert Einstein in 1933, the IRC today works in over 40 crisis-affected countries, as well as with communities across Europe and the Americas. Laura Kyrke-Smith is the Executive Director of the International Rescue Committee in the UK. We talk about the current global context for refugees - 108 million people forcibly displaced around the world. Contrary to popular opinion, the vast majority of these displaced people are not in the wealthy countries in the Global North, but are either within their own country or within a neighbouring country, often also a low and middle income country. We discuss the UK's Illegal Migration Bill, which seeks to remove the right to asylum - a stance that is in stark contrast to Britain's position back in 1951, as one of the original drafters of the Refugee Convention. And how today, Britain's standing on the international humanitarian stage is sadly not, what it once was. Recorded June 2023.

In this episode we speak with Tigs Louis-Puttick, the founder of Reclaim the Sea, a UK-based organisation helping refugee women reclaim the seaside as a place of joy.   Tigs tells us about teaching refugees to swim and surf, about the UK government placing asylum seekers on a floating barge – the Bibby Stockholm – and the company which owns the barge's links to the trans-atlantic slave trade.   She also tells us how she was arrested in July 2023 during a protest outside the UK Home Office against the Illegal Migration Bill.     ---Get in touch--- Twitter: @FleetCivil Mastodon: @civilfleet@kolektiva.social Instagram: thecivilfleet info@civilfleet.com civilfleet.com   Support:  ko-fi.com/civilfleet    ---Show Notes--- Follow Reclaim the Sea on Twitter: @Reclaim_The_Sea You can read Reclaim the Sea's report on the financial and moral cost of the Bibby Stockholm here: reclaimthesea.org.uk/atwhatcost    Read Reclaim the Sea's open letter to UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman here: bit.ly/3DTusoT    Two days before this podcast was released, the people who were being held on the Bibby Stockholm were taken off the prison barge because legionella was found in its water supply.

Lesley's back frae her grand tour and it's provided her with plenty of food for thought on Brexit,land ownership,rural housing and the power of story to reconnect us with Scotland's past and potential future.Sir Keir Starmer is fond of repeating Harold Wilson's famous quote that Labour is a moral crusade or it is nothing. In the light of his abandonment of the pledge to get rid of the two child benefit cap, on top of all the other policy u-turns, we ask just what does Labour now actually stand for?We also look at the contortions performed by Anas Sarwar,Jackie Bailie, and Douglas Alexander et al to maintain the fiction that they oppose the cap,support Starmer's position, and it's all the fault of the SNP. The House of Lords caved in last night as all its amendments to the Illegal Migration Bill were defeated. The peers didn't even use their powers to delay the legislation for the permitted 12 months.

What is the REAL migrant boat crisis? The British media seem obsessed with small boats crossing the Channel, but there's been far less coverage of the vessels carrying hundreds of migrants from West Africa which have gone missing en route to the Canary Islands. They were seeking the relative safety of Europe, after fleeing instability in Senegal.   A fleet of three boats set sail a fortnight ago on the treacherous journey of more than 1,000 miles from the port of Kafountine. One has been rescued by the Spanish coastguard, but at the time of writing, two are still missing, the fate of their occupants unknown.   This follows the tragedy off the coast of Greece just a few weeks ago. The final death toll in that tragic incident hasn't yet been confirmed, but it's thought that more than 500 migrants drowned.   The British governmen has made it a defining mission to stop the small boats in the English channel, where 27 people died when an inflatable dinghy capsized in November 2021. The Illegal Migration Bill currently going through parliament will make it illegal to seek asylum to the UK if you've arrived by sea.   Despite the risk and the rhetoric, more than 12,000 people have arrived in the UK so far this year on small boats – a year on year reduction of just 7%.   Adrian Goldberg discusses the issue with Zoe Gardener, migration policy expert.

Mark sets out what he believes needs to happen for us to get there. Its a conversation full of passion, raw anger and hope. Enjoy. Recorded May 2023.

On the podcast this week we look at the UK's role in the defence of the Nordic region. Since the annexation of Crimea, the UK has taken a keen interest in the Nordic and Baltic regions, with the formation of the Joint Expeditionary Force. With Kyiv's counter-offensive now underway, we look at how Europe's security is being reshaped by events in Ukraine, what London and the JEF states are looking to achieve by operating more closely in the north, and the balance of forces between NATO and Russia in the Baltic now Finland is a NATO member. Also, this week, we look ahead to the NATO summit in Vilnius next month. With Finland now an alliance member, but Sweden still outside, are alliance politics (with Turkey and Hungary) leaving NATO's northern flank vulnerable. What role are key alliance members like France and the UK playing ahead of Vilnius, and in the face of intense fighting in the east, what kind of plan might the alliance offer Ukraine? Joining Roxanne Escobales on the show this week are Olivia O'Sullivan, Director of our UK in the World program, Alice Billon-Galland, a Research Fellow with Chatham House's Europe program and from Helsinki Matti Pesu, a Researcher with the Finnish Institute of International Affairs.

Thank you so much for being with us today. (Dr Niall McCrae) Always good to be on on a Saturday evening with you, Peter. What else would you be doing apart from having a one-hour chat with me? Always good fun. So let's play the first one. ChrisDavis33 is first on on GETTR. There you go. No prizes, but good to see you. Anyone else, put your comments and let us know how you're watching, as in where you are in the world. Always good to get an idea. We've got probably a 30%, 30% US, 60% UK and elsewhere. And if you see our nice, do you see the logo? We've just put a half a Stars and Stripes behind our oak and half a Union Jack. So we've tweaked a little bit to represent you, our viewer. But this was a There's a one minute comedy clip that James Wells had put up. I think Steve Kirsch also put it up. So let's play this. (video plays) I regret having gotten the, I really regret having gotten the vaccine. I'm sure it's fine, but I just wish when the state told me to do something, I'd be the sort of person who said no. But it turns out, I'm the sort of person who says, fine, I don't understand, you're telling me it's important, okay, and all they had to do was say, you won't be allowed to go into pubs for like a month, and I was like, put it in me. That's what I'm upset about, is that I had a principle, temporarily. Like, oh, if I was in Nazi Germany, I would have stood up to the regime. I wouldn't stand up to not being able I go to a pub for a month. I would have been like, Anne Frank, she's in that attic. There, I saw her. It doesn't matter what the point of principle was. The point is I would have been a chill. And that, I have to live with that for the rest of my three or four more years before I have a heart attack. Always good to start with a laugh. I think humour is one thing It's probably taken us through the last three years. I don't know about you, but I've certainly enjoyed many of the memes and artists people like Bob Moran, Abi Roberts, I mean tons of people who've helped us all through it. Oh yes, indeed. And a feature of the anti-lockdown rallies was the positivity and, humour and just humanity, really. They were trying to quash us. They were trying to to oppress us and deprive us of our kind of vitality. And it didn't work. And like you say, humour is one of the most powerful things. Definitely didn't work. Let's go to the next story. We might have a slight delay in sound, but let's bring it up. I'll read it and then we'll take it from there. And this is an article by Niall himself. And this is the Conservative Women who are regularly are the only voice on this issue. And they've blazed a trail and speaking truth on this when many others wouldn't. And this piece is towing the party line, MPs answers to the 10 big questions. And in this, I'll just read the first few lines. What do our parliamentary representatives really think about climate change, COVID-19, migrant channel crossings and transgenderism? Two months ago, I presented 10 questions for readers to send to their MPs. By the time of writing, 14 MPs had responded with 11 sets of answers. So you'd put a range of questions down and members of the public have taken those and sent them on to their MPs. And the answers have come back. And I, again, the link to this, if you're watching on, certainly on Rumble, the link will be there in the description. We will certainly be reposting this, if my mod team can hear me, on our social medias. But of course you can find it on Niall's Gab account. Neil, tell us a little bit about this, because what were you expecting? And tell us the response that you got back. Boris Johnson got that huge majority in December 2019, big mandate, and he could potentially have done everything that was pledged in the manifesto. Then COVID-19 came along and, well, you know, whatever you believe about COVID, let's just say that that was certainly a disruptor to the whatever program that Boris Johnson was going to carry out. But if you look at his behaviour, you know, once the sort of urgency of COVID, you know, that first wave, once that settled down, Boris Johnson went straight into this build back better mode, didn't he? Which is all about focusing on climate change. And he was allowing all this, he did nothing really to stop the Black Lives Matter, woke wave in summer 2020. And now that leads me to why we did this 10 questions for MPs. Because when you think about it, Peter, and I'm sure your viewers will be well aware of this, is that almost everything that's being done by those who are leading us are not things that we asked for. None of us asked for mass uncontrolled immigration. None of us asked for net zero. None of us asked for, well, I mean, obviously there was plenty of people that were in support of the COVID regime, but that wasn't part of the manifesto. None of us asked for our teachers in schools to be telling children that they can be whatever gender they want, and this transgenderism ideology. So there's all these things going on. The most prominent things going on in our society that none of us have asked for. So I put together a series of 10 questions for constituents to send to their MPs. And we got responses from just a few. It's just not a scientific survey. We don't know how many MPs were sent the questions, but we got responses from Rishi Sunak, no less, and some of his ministers, mostly Tory MPs. And we, I had this article published on Conservative Women two days ago. Since then, I've had two more responses. So it's just added to it a little bit. So there's an updated version going up on new Conservative website on Monday. But the thing is, Peter, that the sample size would sound very small. So 16 MPs, of which only 13 have actually provided a full set of answers to 10 questions. But what we found, you know, I used to teach research methods in university. And with qualitative research, something you teach is saturation point. Saturation point is where there's no point in carrying on interviewing people, because you're getting the same answers. And we very, very quickly reached what we might call saturation point with our responses to these questions. They are all following the narrative. There is hardly any. I mean, one of the respondents was John Redwood, and he was only one that gave any sign of scepticism about things that were going on, and even then only limited. Look, they're all following the narrative, it's like they're in a parallel universe and you know if anyone wants to look at the response to those, answers given by MPs go on the Conservative Women website where there's a couple of hundred comments from people, you know, just saying, if this is who's leading us, then we really are in trouble. And let me just, just as we finish, the questions are, do you believe there is a climate change? Do you believe that COVID was a deadly pandemic? Do you believe that lockdown was necessary? Do you believe COVID vaccines are safe and effective? So I have to even laugh whenever safe and effective is used now. Do you support billions of pounds of military supplies going to Ukraine? Do you regard the tens of thousands of people crossing the English Channel as refugees? Do you believe it's safe for dozens of undocumented male migrants to be housed in our towns or boats? Do you support teaching of transgender ideology to our children? If you do not agree with any of the above, what are you doing to oppose such a policy? And finally, what is a woman? I mean, it's a beautiful range of questions, Niall. I'd encourage everyone, the article there, toeing the party line on conservative women. Yes, and it's not too late for anyone who's watching tonight, if you want to take those questions and send them to your own GP, MP, sorry. And I'm always willing to update and refresh the results. A couple of interesting things about who answered the questions. So got 16 responses but only 13 actually really answered the questions. Only one of them was female. You know, we have all this much better female representation now, at least in numbers, but the reality is this type of woman who's representing us in Parliament has got little interest in the ordinary wishes of women and girls, for example, to have safe spaces. Their own toilets in a theatre, for example, they don't really care. The type of woman who is in Parliament, they don't care. And I reckon that the question in that survey, what is a woman, that made him think, I'm not going to get into this. Too much for the minefield. Yeah. Well, let's move on to something a little bit different, which is the election. Is this the election, ProJam? No. Let's pull up the election story. Obviously, we've had local elections, and this one was another very good article from Niall McCrae. A pattern here. You have to check out Niall on The Conservative Woman. It just happened these were the first two stories. But on this, empty polling stations, are we still living in a democracy? And Niall, you were pointing out that in many parts of the country the turnout was 30%. Which meant 70%. And I always kind of used, when I was growing up, thinking, well if people don't vote is up to them, it's their problem. But actually, everyone has to participate in the democratic process. If people don't participate, then it's no longer a democratic process. But tell us about your thoughts on this, that people can find on The Conservative Woman. Yes, well, are we living in a democracy when the vast majority of people don't vote? Now, obviously the rebuttal of that is that everyone can vote, you know, it's up to them and if they don't vote that's their own fault. But the trouble is that increasingly, certainly the last three years, people have woken up more and more to the fact that we're run by a uni-party. It doesn't matter whether you've got a Labour government or a Tory government and if we had a Lib Dem government or a Green Party government, we'd still get the same policies. There might be a slightly different flavour and there might be a slightly different presentation, but it would be basically the same thing that's going on. And what we're seeing increasingly, Peter, is that this isn't just something that applies to national government. Up and down the country, you've got councils introducing 15-minute cities and 20-minute neighbourhoods, low traffic schemes, that sort of thing, and they try and make out as if this is just something they've made up themselves, you know, to like make the air healthier and make the, you know, reduce pollution and so on. They're lying to us. This is all Agenda 2030. Right, or Agenda 21, it's basically the same ideas. This is United Nations, this is a globalist, this is a World Economic Forum. It doesn't matter who you've got representing you in your local council, your city chambers, or in Westminster, or in the devolved assemblies in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, it doesn't matter, they're all following the same agenda, as they are in all other developed countries. And people have woken up to this and unfortunately the response is not to all get behind some new party that's going to, overturn this establishment. It's very, very hard to do that. I mean there are some people working very hard such as David Kurten of the Heritage Party, Robin Tilbrook of the English Democrats, for example, and Andrew Bridgen joined Lawrence Fox's reclaimed party. But it is extremely difficult. I mean, we saw that with UKIP. Very, very, very difficult to get. You saw it with the Brexit party. They did very well in the last European elections, but they were not going to get anywhere, not get a single MP in the general election that followed soon after. So it's very, very difficult. And so people are responding to this situation by simply not voting at all, or going and spoiling their paper, saying none of the above, or more choice language than that. And I don't blame people. I don't blame people for feeling that it's futile voting. I wish there was a good party that we could get behind that would readily change things, but there just isn't that at the moment. But as I say, I do admire the people who are trying to change that situation. Can I ask just your thoughts for a minute on that, because I'm the same as you on the side-lines regarding political parties, and I couldn't, I would have difficulty voting at the moment for anyone. And I love what David's done with the Heritage Party. The English Democrats are wonderful in what they're doing. But with Andrew Bridgen speaking at that event I was at today, a name joining reclaim, I'm intrigued by that because he could have stayed as an independent but he's joined a party. Obviously reform were not an option because they've jab, jab, jab. I guess English Democrats could have been an option that's because heritage. But I'm wondering will that, not that that will change the whole landscape of British politics, no. But I think that will be a nudge, quite a big change and what are your thoughts on that? Yes, I've heard people raising this question, why didn't he stay as an independent? What you've got to try and do is put yourself in the shoes of Andrew Bridgen and, you know, David Kurten and I, who, you know, just mentioned a while ago, we've had many chats. David's been a keen student of cultural Marxism for many years. And, you know, one of the books that David and I often talk about is Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals. And, you know, the people that are in charge now are basically the anti-establishment types of the 60s and 70s. And they're now in charge, they've created a new establishment. And one of the rules for radicals is that if there's somebody kicking up some opposition to what you're doing, then you isolate them, you target them, you really freeze your focus on that person, and you make their life utterly intolerable. And that's exactly what was happening with Andrew Bridgen. Has any man been so disproportionately targeted in the last year or so? I mean, we can think of some other examples as well, such as Tommy Robinson or Julian Assange, but at the moment, it's Andrew Bridgen. And so I don't blame him at all for joining a party, a party that stands for free speech, and that he's now a member of a group. He's got people with him to support him. And I think that's important for the establishment to know, that if they do try and isolate people and persecute them, then there are sanctuaries. And that's what I see the Reclaim party as being, you know, Reclaim has got some quite, you know, genuine, really genuine people like Calvin Robinson involved. I've never been quite sure about Lawrence Fox, but he says a lot of the right things. He's doing a lot of the right things, but Martin Daubney was involved as well. So they've got some good people. And I don't blame Andrew Bridgen at all for taking the decision that he did. We'll see a play out in British politics. Let's stay on the Conservative Woman, but we are leaving the authorship of Dr. McCrae. Dr. Ahmed Malik, someone who is new onto my scene, and probably new into many people's scenes. He has written this piece for Conservative Woman, COVID, the Destruction of Medical Ethics and Trust in the Medical Profession, Part 1. It is a fascinating read from a doctor, someone who has qualified 25 years ago and he gave some of his story in this. And he talks about, just starts, when it comes to the last three years, there's a lot I do not know. What I do know is that I have many questions. Was the pandemic a plandemic? It certainly felt like it. Did the virus skip from a lab? What exactly is a virus? What's the role of the US Department of Defence? And he delves into this. And I am thankful to doctors like this for putting their thoughts down so openly and honestly in this article and it gives us an insight into their experience and how they're seeing things because many of us do not have a medical background and therefore we look at things through a simple lens. But Niall, it's people like Dr. Malik actually writing pieces like this and opening it up that will really help us the public. Yeah it's very necessary and you know there's some controversy about Dr. Asseem Malhotra the cardiologist you know because he'd been shilling for the the vaccines early on, but I think we have to give people... The opportunity, the potential, to change their mind. And I think that's what Dr. Malhotra has done. Andrew Bridgen has done that. Ahmed Malik goes a lot further, I think, than Asseem Malhotra. He's questioning the whole basis of the pandemic or pseudo-pandemic, as I see it. This article that you're bringing up is a really useful read because what we've seen over the last three years is a departure from medical ethics. And people may be aware of the white rose people that do the stickers that people put up on lampposts. Many of these stickers are about, if you wondered why the people of Germany fell for the Third Reich, now you know, because all the doctors and nurses in 1930s Germany were on board, you know. And how did that happen? And, you know, partly this was about them just keeping their heads down, but they also enjoyed the pedestal that they were being put on as officers of the regime. And Ahmed Malik has stepped away from that and he has reminded us what are the true ethics of medicine. And they are autonomy, justice, first do no harm. And beneficence, as in that's all doing good. And the first one of them, autonomy, was the one that was most controversially ditched. People were coerced into taking these experimental injections. But the other three principles as well, were just simply no longer followed. And I found this very difficult, Peter, because I sat on an NHS Research Ethics Committee for many years. And these principles were really important that you always stuck to them. Didn't matter how much you thought this research proposal was interesting. If they were going to be doing something which in any way threatened any of these principles, then you would reject the application. And that was for research. Well, this is for the whole of health care, the whole health care system has been poisoning people with Midazolam. Forcing people to take injections, closing down services, stopping screening and treatment of people with cancer. The mental health impact has been immense. It's really quite dreadful and this is still going on. In fact, in many ways, it's getting worse, where it's getting harder and harder for people to get face-to-face contact with practitioners of a service, national health service, that they've been paying for in their taxes and that they've always lauded and now they find that they're not welcome that um, access is often denied and this is really um quite appalling and so to have doctors like Ahmed Malik stepping out and saying this is not right we we need to get back to proper medical ethics as soon as possible. Yeah. Let's actually touch on that, the Andrew Bridgen as well. I don't know if I sent it over to Projam, we'll not play this, I just want to bring up the tweet. And this is, Andrew, the great vax debate that GB News talked about, and obviously, GB News under Ofcom. This is the regulatory body, communication regulatory body, so they can't say anything which goes against government propaganda. And this was basically Spiked, which is a publication here in the UK, and Andrew Bridgen. It was Fraser Myers from Spiked. And it was, I watched the 13 minutes of it and it's... I would have had respect for Spiked if they had put across a different position in this, but they were simply mocking, smearing, calling Andrew Bridgen anti-vaxxer, conspiracy theorist. And it was rolling out the terms the government use. And I know an organization has asked if they have received money from Pfizer, and then Andrew Bridgen has said it'd be interesting to see what happens in that. But I mean, what are your thoughts on this, Niall? When we see organizations which generally are there for free speech, full free speech, and yet you're not allowed to talk about this because it's dangerous to question the government line. Well, Spiked was my favourite website around 2015 to about 2019. It was actually the first website I wrote for. I met Fraser Myers several times and Brendan O'Neill was my favourite writer. I met him once. I thought these were very, very good people. But, you know, others have said to me, well, wait, just be a little bit cautious with how much you like a website that originated in living Marxism, which was a cultural Marxist organization. And people like Claire Fox, who's now sitting in the House of Lords. And Frank Faridi. You know, these are all people that I've really appreciated over the years. But I think what happened with, and their line on Brexit was very, you know, I thought was very, very good. You know, the way that they defended the working class against the sort of metropolitan elites that was trying to impose and, you know, deny them their, you know, the result of the fair election. But COVID showed that they were not quite what what we, people like me naively thought and they seem to take to lockdown and the COVID vaccine regime like a duck to water. I believe this brought out the, a side of them that, you know, they seem to enjoy this statist coup of the COVID regime. And of course, they've been shilling for the vaccines rather too enthusiastically and knocking anyone who, you know, comes, says anything heretical about vaccine injuries like Andrew Bridgen has done. I think they've lost a lot of trust and I think people are wondering what they're really about and I think we do need to look back to how they originated in living Marxism. They are and probably still are at heart cultural Marxists and I think the editor, you know, people call him Tintin, Tom Slater, I think his name is. Yeah, I think that's where they are. And I think for years that they've been fooling us because they've had things that, you know, I'm sure they genuinely believe that, you know, the working class people are being treated badly by the establishment. I'm sure that they really genuinely were writing on that, they were just pretending that they were on our side on that, but COVID has really badly exposed them. And, you know, they chose to write that hit piece on Andrew Bridgen. Andrew Bridgen wasn't coming out looking to attack them. This was a serious own goal. They've lost loads of followers, loads of subscribers and deservedly so, because, you know, if there's one thing that we've had to learn, it's a hard lesson we've had to learn over the last three years, that some of the institutions, some of the people that we liked, that we respected, we've had to think again about some of that and correspondingly people who perhaps we didn't like, organizations we didn't trust. We thought, well, maybe they had something good after all. It's been a steep learning curve for all of us, I think. Yeah. Who thought it would be shoulder to shoulder with Piers Corbyn. It throws out very strange thoughts. But here's the Daily Mirror. This headline really blew my mind. ProJam, if you can just scroll the headline up a little bit. Brits are dying in their tens of thousands. ProJam, can you scroll it up a little bit? So Brits are, no, we're not going to get, yeah, we are. Brits are dying in their tens of thousands, and we don't really have any idea why. And this is looking at excess deaths between May and December 2020 and talks about 32,000 excess deaths. It's this, yeah again the last three years I never thought I would be reading a headline like this that they are seeing the problem still not connecting the dots but it's getting out there that these excess deaths are there and the question is being asked. It's quite unbelievable they refuse to make the connection but it is a headline that will make people think? Yes, I think so. So the mainstream media are just not going to make that connection, as you say, you know, that you could read numerous articles like this now, all the papers are now covering it, but they simply will not make any link to the vaccine. But, you know, if you think about, you know, there's always been this large number of people, large, you know, maybe 50% of society throughout the COVID years that's been going along with their, you know, believing that the fundamental narrative that there was a deadly virus and they had to wear masks and take the jabs and that sort of thing, but increasingly sort of questioning that over time. And now that it's, you know, no longer in any way an emergency situation, people are asking even more questions from the, you know, because they feel safe to do that now. So when they read an article like this, even though it doesn't mention the vaccine. People will know, they will know from their own friends and family that there are vaccine injuries. And anyone goes on social media now. I mean, Twitter is just ablaze with stuff about the harm being caused by these mRNA injections. So it'd be quite difficult for people not to make that link themselves, even though the mainstream media aren't making it. And one other thing on the deaths, Peter, is I heard today that the NHS stopped reporting, or NHS England, whoever it is, it stopped reporting deaths from blood clots. And I haven't looked into this properly, but that they stopped reporting this back in 2020. Before the vaccine rollout. So they knew this was coming. Yeah. Well, they knew if they'd written, read what Pfizer, Moderna were holding back. I don't know if they had access to that, but yeah. Let's move on. We'll try and fly through our last, we'll do four stories. This is immigration. This is Wet Welby. I know it's not his speeding ticket, which is a whole other story. I'll leave the viewers to work that out. But this is the debate in Parliament on the immigration bill and this is the telegraph. Justin Welby is wrong to condemn illegal immigration bill as morally unacceptable. The Archbishop was told he was wrong. Speaking in the Lord's, the most reverent Justin Welby warned it risks damaging Britain's reputation at home and abroad and he failed to take a long-term strategic view in immigration challenges and blah blah blah. You expect this from him but the government are trying to deal with the problem and all Welby can do is criticize him because I guess he's an open border, everyone should come to the UK, but what were your thoughts on Welby? Well I mentioned cultural Marxism a few moments ago and a strategy of cultural Marxism was a long march through the institutions and of course we can see how almost every major institution in society has been well and truly marched through, not least the Church of England. I sometimes want to ask these people, although I'll never get the chance. And even if I did ask it, I probably wouldn't get a straight answer from them. I'd like to ask Welby... Where would you draw the line? What would be your limit? Because right now, there are pictures of tens of thousands of people in the north of France, who are going to be crossing the Channel and thousands of them are going to come over this summer. This is causing despair, anger. It's causing great economic hardship because these people are costing a hell of a lot of money as well. But it's like the government no longer cares for its own people. The first duty of government is to look after the safety of its own people. And that no longer seems to matter. And Justin Welby doesn't seem to give a moment's thought to these people who he classes as refugees crossing the channel without documents. Some of them will be fleeing justice in their own countries. Some of them will be rapists. Some of them will be paedophiles. Some of them will be murderers. Now, somebody might say to me in response to saying that, how do you know? Well, I don't. But how do you know they're not? Because they're not documented. Yeah and so this is what's being done to British society, and it's not just Britain of course, the same is being done to Ireland. Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, is a menace to the British people, as are almost all the leaders of our institutions, most of our politicians, as Michael Jackson says, they don't care about us. Exactly. Well, none of the bishops in the house care about any of us. Moving on to Brexit, and this is great from The Economist, trying to work out why Britain would be successful. Britain's services exports are booming despite Brexit. Why? And they try and look into this to try and understand why Britain is not doing worse. And Projam, can you just scroll down to the two graphs there? No, we're not going to get the graphs. But it's really interesting that obviously the left wing media want to bash Britain, and they can't because the service industry is booming in Britain despite Brexit. Who would have thought it, Niall? Yes, well, this is The Economist, so you would think that this is economic experts, but what I've found over the years, Peter, is that economics is not the sort of science of finance at all. It's a social kind of studies field which is heavily populated by people of particular ideological bent who use this kind of, you know, quite sort of serious sounding title of economist to give more value to what they say. But really, they rarely get anything right at all about finance, do they? I mean, the Economist and the Financial Times have been wrong on just about everything. If you look at the inflation problem at the moment, did the Economist and the Financial Times warn you, dear viewers, about that? Did the Economist and the Financial Times warn you about the global financial crisis in 2007, 2008? No, they didn't have a clue it was coming. Because they're not scientists, they're pseudoscientists. They are just social studies, kind of ideological narrative pushers. And of course, Brexit is something that really went against the narrative. Let's finish off on two gender stories. Let me see if we can bring this up. This is, so this is Starbucks Saks trans worker who accused customer of being transphobic then knocked a phone out of person's hands in confrontation after being misgendered. Let me bring, let me actually bring and play the video. The video, give me one second and I will hear it. There, let me see if I can play this. (video plays) I want to leave that. You're rude. Don't ever call me transphobic. Ever. You do not know me. Never. You do not call me transphobic. Ever. I want to leave that. Hi, get out. You are trespassing now. You are trespassing. Get out. Apparently, we said something that sounds phobic. You actually, actually, you actually. You want some, give me the phone. You want some, give me the phone. Let go of me, give me the phone. I've got plenty of witnesses, give me the phone. I said, let go. And it more or less finishes there. The funny thing is that, obviously, after that went viral, that the individual got sacked for that. But it's this sense of entitlement, Niall, and I guess we have a whole education system where people are going through it and told that they shouldn't be offended. And if they're offended, it's hate. And obviously, whenever you go and buy your coffee, if the person is offended by, I don't know, by a look or a walk or whatever it is. But I guess we'll be seeing more and more of this in our society. Yeah, and my advice to people is, if you get into a situation like that lady got into, don't engage, just walk away. Because that person, however unreasonable they are, they have got the law behind them, the Equality Act, and the whole narrative is in their favour. And so in this case, you know, this person was filmed and found out and the company Starbucks had little option but to sack this person. You know, whatever happened to the customer is always right? But no, it's not worth. And this is why I'd say there's one sort of protest that I would not go to, and that's the drag queen, trans child grooming events, which I think are absolutely abhorrent, but I will not go to a protest because you'll get all these shrill socialist worker types and the police will be on their side and anything you say, potentially you could be apprehended for by the police. So I think just don't engage. You can never be forced to use somebody's pronouns, they try and force you to use their pronouns. No, you can't be forced to use that. Just walk away. Now, it's not every situation, you can just walk away. But just don't get into a confrontation. But also don't feel that you have to accommodate some of this madness because it is madness. I'd say that as a mental health practitioner, what's going on now with this transgenderism is lunacy. But I think that there's a danger in tackling it in a situation like this. Best if possible to just walk away. Yeah, yeah. We'll finish off on the same topic but on freedom of speech, journalistic expression. This is a story in the Telegraph on the National Union of Journalists, who are of course the bastions of free speech and journalism. Fears for free speech after journalist union refuses refuses to defend gender-critical members and it's that Britain's leading journalistic union has rejected calls to defend members who cover trans issues and gender-critical beliefs. The National Union of Journalists was called upon at a meeting to issue a statement supporting members who covered the debate on sex and gender and to condemn abuse that they might receive for discussing gender. A gender-critical viewpoint is just a normal gender, that's just how it is. But they refuse to do it. And I guess it's, we've seen the capitulation of our media anyway over the last three years, but there is an absolute, as you said, I think a fear of the trans lobby. But again, you do expect a union to come and back you. Maybe this is why the Workers' England Union are needed so much. So I'll leave that to you, Niall. Yes, so certainly journalists if you have any concerns about the various woke agendas that are going on that you may profoundly disagree with, this is a clear message from the National Union of Journalists. They are not going to stand up for you. So yes, come and join the Workers of England. There's nothing to stop you joining an independent union that isn't tied to the establishment and to the official narratives like the NUJ is. Alongside that story, Peter, there's a school teacher who's been dismissed for refusing to use a pupil's transgender pronoun. So we really are getting into sort of Maoist cultural revolution kind of atmosphere now. And I reckon that it's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. But my hope is that this woke onslaught will eat itself. You know, that they'll cause so many schisms and such conflict with among themselves that they will, that we can just sort of, you know, enjoy the show and get the popcorn, but I think that the heat is going to be turned up quite a lot before we get to the point where we can see it coming to an end. It will come to an end, just like Mao's cultural revolution came to an end in China, but they had something like 12 years of that, and a lot of people died, a lot of people were persecuted during that time and what we've got now is persecution, you know, when people are hounded out of their jobs, prevented from getting any other work, they are, you know, portrayed on the media as being some, you know, diabolical person who everyone has to stay away from. I mean this is like the witch hunt hysteria of the 16th, 17th centuries. Yeah, no, it really is. Well, I think on that, we will finish up. The viewers can obviously, our listeners can find Neil, his handle is there @Dr_Neil_McRae, with two underscores. So it is there on Gab. Do go and make use of Gab, as do we. We post all the videos on Gab. So it is a wonderful social media platform and was free before Musk ever thought of having freedom, supposedly. We'll not even get into that. But Dr. Niall McCrae, thank you as always for joining us. Thank you. It's a pleasure to be on. And sorry about the glitches earlier, but we got there in the end. We always get there at the end, so no problem at all. But I wish our viewers and listeners a wonderful rest of your Saturday, rest of your weekend, whatever you're doing. Have a wonderful time on Sunday. Take some time off your normal work schedule. I say that to me as well as I say to you and on Monday we'll be back with you with Dr Peter McCullough will be with us on Monday evening so tune in for that. And on that, have a wonderful evening and we'll see you Monday.

The Archbishop of Canterbury has condemned the Illegal Migration Bill, calling it 'morally unacceptable'. Does he reflect your views over the bill? Also, the Mirror publisher has apologised to Prince Harry in phone hacking trial. Safeguarding Minister Sarah Dines joins to discuss new plans to tackle stalking and domestic abuse. All of that and more on this episode of the Nick Ferrari Whole Show podcast.

James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Stephen Bush about the Lord's debate on the Illegal Migration Bill. Now in its third reading, will the government face substantive amendments to the legislation?

Human rights are under threat in the UK, warns the Northern Ireland Human Rights Chief Commissioner Alyson Kilpatrick. While the immediate question is whether the British government will change the law in order to remove large numbers of asylum seekers to Rwanda, this is in the context of proposals for the UK to leave the European Convention on Human Rights. This would have significant, negative, implications for Northern Ireland, given that this is one of the foundations of the Good Friday Agreement. The future of human rights legislation is the subject of the latest Holywell Trust Conversations, our podcast series looking at contentious challenges facing Northern Ireland. This latest podcast contains an in-depth interview with Alyson Kilpatrick, along with contributions from the new director of the Committee on the Administration of Justice, Daniel Holder, and Queen's University Professor of Human Rights, Colin Harvey. Both Alyson and Daniel express real concern about the threats to human rights in all the UK. Colin shares those concerns, while suggesting that much of the rhetoric from government ministers is to create a political environment for exploitation in the next General Election, and may not be realised in the actual legal changes that will be approved by Parliament. It is important to recognise that the context is about much more than deporting asylum seekers to Africa, including those who are fleeing from wars and oppression in places such as Afghanistan, Syria and the Horn of Africa.  Questions were raised about the UK's membership of the European Convention on Human Rights – and being subject to the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights – during the Brexit referendum debates. This is despite the ECHR being separate from the EU; pre-dating the creation of the EU and its predecessors; having a much larger membership; and it having been an initiative of British Conservative Second World War Prime Minister Winston Churchill.  Three government Bills affect – diminish, argue human rights lawyers – human rights in the UK. The most profound of these is the Bill of Rights Bill, which was a pet project of former deputy prime minister Dominic Raab. Whether the Bill of Rights Bill will proceed given Raab's resignation over bullying allegations is not yet clear. If it does, it will remove some protections included in the Human Rights Act. In addition, the Illegal Migration Bill seeks to limit the European Court of Human Rights' role in adjudicating over British actions to remove asylum seekers to Rwanda. And the Government's Troubles Bill, often called the legacy bill, puts an end to prosecutions and investigations into Troubles deaths in Northern Ireland. Removing human rights protections is of serious concern to lawyers, but is relevant to the daily lives of much of the population. Indeed, the failure of successive British governments to deliver the promised Northern Ireland Bill of Rights is blamed by the podcast interviewees for holding back our society in achieving greater progress towards social equality within NI. The podcast can be listened to at the Holywell Trust website.  Longer versions of the three interviews are also available there.            Disclaimer: This project has received support from the Northern Ireland Community Relations Council which aims to promote a pluralist society characterised by equity, respect for diversity, and recognition of interdependence.

After a bizarre weekend of sports coverage without presenters, Gary Lineker will return to present Match of the Day on BBC this weekend. While it appears the story is reaching a conclusion, many questions still remain about how future issues around impartiality will be handled by the broadcaster, how political interference informs editorial decisions and how the Illegal Migration Bill, which was the focus of Lineker's original tweet, is progressing through the House of Commons. London Correspondent, Mark Paul and Media columnist Laura Slattery report. Presented by Aideen Finnegan. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The UK government has introduced an Illegal Migration Bill aimed at discouraging small boat migration, promising to remove all individuals who enter the UK illegally by any means. Critics claim that the bill is a political ploy by the Sunak government to benefit his reelection bid in 2024. However, several polls indicate that concerns regarding immigration have actually declined since the Brexit vote. What does this denote?And what is the monumental challenge in making this bill a reality? Listen in!

The Illegal Migration Bill is the latest government attempt to deter asylum seekers from making their way to the UK by irregular routes. But has Rishi Sunak come up with some substance to match his ‘stop the boats' slogan? How does the government intend its plan to work – and how likely is it to succeed? Will the legislation prove popular or polarising? And is the row about Gary Lineker and Match of the Day no more than a distraction? The IfG's Emma Norris and Rhys Clyne are joined by Sunder Katwala, director of British Future, and Madeleine Sumption, director of the Migration Observatory, for a deep dive into the government's asylum plan.  Presented by Emma Norris.

Rishi Sunak said migrants arriving in the UK illegally will be removed “within weeks” as the Government unveiled plans for fresh laws to curb Channel crossings. The Prime Minister also confirmed the Illegal Migration Bill – to stop people claiming asylum in the UK if they arrive through unauthorised means – will apply “retrospectively” if passed.

Home Secretary Suella Braverman insists migrants arriving in the UK illegally on small boats will be "removed swiftly" under the government's plan to tackle the crisis. The bill also includes an annual cap on the number of people entering via safe routes. But critics argue it's unfair, unworkable and, according to the shadow home secretary Yvette Cooper, "risks making the chaos worse". On the Sky News Daily podcast, Niall Paterson examines the plan with our political correspondent Ali Fortescue, discusses the legalities with UK immigration solicitor Harjap Singh Bhangal and explores how it will – or won't - work in practical terms with Lucy Moreton, from the Immigration Services Union, which represents Border Force officers. Annie Joyce - senior podcast producer Alex Edden - interviews producer Jada-Kai Meosa John - junior producer Philly Beaumont - editor

Suella Braverman unveiled the Illegal Migration Bill today in the Commons. The Home Secretary said that Britain had been 'taken for a ride', as she revealed the government's plan to detain asylum seekers for up to 28 days 'without bail or judicial review until they can be removed'. Will this contravene the European Convention on Human Rights? And even if it does, will it make a difference to small boats crossings?  James Heale speaks to Katy Balls and Fraser Nelson.
