1 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,200 Hello and welcome. Today is Wednesday the 6th of 2 00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:16,600 August 2025, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News. 3 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:21,080 I'm your host, Brian Gerrish, delighted to be joined today by 4 00:00:21,080 --> 00:00:27,840 live video link by Vanessa Bailey and from Lebanon and also 5 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,680 Sandy Adams. So welcome to both of you. 6 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,080 Now we've got a very packed news today. 7 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,800 We're going to stick on the theme of immigration. 8 00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:42,320 And it was clear from our broadcast on Monday that a lot 9 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,320 of people are extremely interested in the subject. 10 00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,520 They're extremely concerned. They're also very concerned at 11 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,800 the way they perceive that the British government is 12 00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:57,320 suppressing any reasonable commentary and debate on this 13 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,520 subject. But we're certainly going to 14 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:06,280 dive into the mix and report. Vanessa's also going to be 15 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,880 having a look at what's happening in Cyprus with a very 16 00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:15,040 large influx of Israelis as a result of the conflict in Israel 17 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:18,040 and possibly other reasons. We're going to have a look at a 18 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,440 very interesting tribunal which took place some time ago when a 19 00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,640 man challenged the training that he was experiencing via the 20 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:29,880 Ministry of Defence. And we're also going to be 21 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:36,000 having a look at UAE and its dark roots into surveillance and 22 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,440 surveillance companies. And finally, we're going to end 23 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:43,200 on the subject of extremism. But we are going to try and 24 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:46,240 lighten the mood before we leave you today. 25 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,840 So let's get started by having a look at a video. 26 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:54,640 The Home Secretary talking or not talking depends how you see 27 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,080 it, on the subject of immigration, migration. 28 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,640 Provide a safe. Route and then that's somehow 29 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,120 going to stop people going on boats. 30 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,560 I just think is not understanding the way in which 31 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:10,320 these criminal gangs work. Whatever you do, you have to go 32 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:13,240 after the criminal gangs and you have to tackle these dangerous 33 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,360 boat crossings. That's what we're doing as part 34 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,200 of the returns pilot that we've agreed with France. 35 00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,840 That's also what we're doing as part of the stronger law 36 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,160 enforcement. It does mean that people who 37 00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:26,840 apply lawfully in France will be part of that exchange. 38 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,040 So it's all down to criminal gangs. 39 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,840 The government really doesn't know who's behind it. 40 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,000 They've no idea that their own policies on mass migration 41 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:42,080 throughout the world could possibly be helping the movement 42 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,280 of people. Nor does she apparently 43 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:49,840 recognise the UK, the US and the Westerns role in fermenting wars 44 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:54,000 across the globe as pushing people from one country to 45 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,640 another. It's simply, according to Yvette 46 00:02:56,640 --> 00:03:01,840 Cooper, to a few gangs, so she's barely believable. 47 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:06,200 But let's have a look at Nigel Farage, who's been getting very, 48 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:11,480 very hot under the collar about migration and other issues. 49 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,320 Turning a blind eye, not telling the British public the truth. 50 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:21,080 But when it comes to protecting children, we're not hiding 51 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,080 behind a flawed piece of legislation. 52 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:27,480 We genuinely intend to protect in particular women and 53 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:30,040 children. And I made this .2 weeks ago but 54 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:35,760 I'll make it again today. None of these young unidentified 55 00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:40,560 males that are coming into this country should be free to roam 56 00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,920 the streets. They should be detained ahead of 57 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:50,000 them being deported and that is absolutely what we stand for as 58 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,280 a party and we mean it. And we'll do that to protect the 59 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,800 British people. We have simply had enough. 60 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,560 OK, moving on. I have a list of questions. 61 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:08,720 Let us start with. Henry Zeffman. 62 00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:14,320 BBC, thank you very much. Can I just take you back 63 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,720 something you said right at the start you talking about? 64 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,519 The government and the Online Safety Act and you said they 65 00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,079 claim that protecting children is the sole purpose of the 66 00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:24,200 Online Safety Act. So you seem to think there is a, 67 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,280 a real hidden purpose. What is that? 68 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,800 Well, if it was to protect children, why on earth would an 69 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:33,160 elite police force be set up to monitor what people say online 70 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,520 about events such as what's occurred in Warwickshire just 71 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,800 last week? Why on earth are we seeing the 72 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,040 extent to which online material has been censored, including, I 73 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:48,560 was hearing this morning, even historical historical comments 74 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:54,280 about Richard the Third? So the point I'd like to make 75 00:04:54,280 --> 00:04:59,440 here is that the focus back on individual men coming across in 76 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:04,160 boats and these have got to be detained and deported when the 77 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:09,240 real policy, mass migration, vast numbers of people is coming 78 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,560 through successive governments and Nigel Farage has been well 79 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,600 aware of this for years. To deal with the problem we need 80 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,880 to deal with the government policies and not only are we 81 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,520 talking about vast numbers of people on the move, many of them 82 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,440 due to war in their own country, but huge amounts of money being 83 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,880 wasted. This was reporting the national 84 00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:38,280 UK wasted 38 billion on migrant arrival programs and that was 85 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,520 the cost over 10 years. And the actual report that that 86 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,720 article is referring to is this one from Global Exchange, the 87 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:51,320 Future of Welcoming in the UK. And note that it says that the 88 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,520 UK policy on landscape, on integration has often been 89 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,360 characterized by inertia. And what it says is a tangled 90 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,320 web of responsibilities, in particular in relation to 91 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:06,280 devolution, where local government has powers but few 92 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:10,280 statutory responsibilities and where funding flows are limited 93 00:06:10,280 --> 00:06:13,800 and uncertain. So in this crass report, it's 94 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:17,400 trying to get the public to believe that the problem to do 95 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:21,600 with migration is the fact that we haven't done enough European 96 00:06:21,840 --> 00:06:26,920 backed devolution so that local regions can control the 97 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,560 migration. No, no, no, the problem is the 98 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:34,480 government's own migration policies in the first place, 99 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:39,760 which is accepting huge numbers of people on one hand, which is 100 00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,280 unsustainable for the country, on the other hand, they are 101 00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:47,440 stirring up wars overseas to help promote the migration. 102 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,720 Sandy, let's bring you in. And you've been hearing from 103 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,920 some local people their concerns about migration and its effects 104 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:01,160 in particular areas in UK. Yes, thanks Brian. 105 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,480 Yes, I mean I've been I've been contacted by quite a few people 106 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:10,960 this week about what's going on in the UK and particularly in in 107 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,560 Weston Super Mare, which has been a a they they've got a 108 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:19,200 council of sanctuary there. But I'm I'm I want to kind of 109 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,080 focus at the moment I'll be coming back to that a bit later 110 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,520 in the show. But what I want to focus on this 111 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:30,640 morning is first of all is the I think people are worried about 112 00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,880 the speed and volume of the people coming in and the lack of 113 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:38,680 public engagement and that that I will back up a bit later. 114 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:44,600 But there, there is a, a problem within, within the migrant camps 115 00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:49,960 in France with a lot of infighting between sectarian 116 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:55,120 groups of, of, of, of people. And I'm just going to there's a 117 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:58,480 migrant who was shot dead amid, amid an increase in the violence 118 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,040 in the camps in northern France this week. 119 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:05,320 So I, I just want to sort of just have a little bit of a clip 120 00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:09,360 to, to, to let you see what, what is going on. 121 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,080 They seem to be armed, and we don't want this here. 122 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,280 And that's what this clip is all about. 123 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,000 Worth noting here is these migrants often stay in groups. 124 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,120 The Afghans, the Iraqis, the Eritreans and so on often stick 125 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:26,320 together. It's certainly what we saw when 126 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280 we were there at the height of the crisis there in 2016. 127 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:32,080 Sometimes there is tension between those groups. 128 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,000 So this fight involved two groups, Eritreans and Afghans. 129 00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,400 Another brawl erupted later nearby couple, 100 people got 130 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:41,640 involved. More than 20 people sent to 131 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,320 hospital. Police were called in. 132 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,160 And now the interior minister has announced today that he is 133 00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120 sending in police reinforcements to the Calais area. 134 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,200 At one point yesterday, someone pulled out a gun and started 135 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:55,440 firing. At least 5 migrants are reported 136 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,880 to have been shot. 4 remain in critical condition today. 137 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,800 The victims are all said to be between the ages of 16 and 18. 138 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,560 And this morning, French media reporting police are looking for 139 00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:11,720 one suspect, a 37 year old Afghan man who they believe was 140 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,360 the gunman. There's always sort of ebb and 141 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,440 flow of tensions in Calais, Michael. 142 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:22,920 Right now it seems it is again at a high point now. 143 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,400 You know, we, we, it's well documented that Western 144 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,880 interventions, you know, in the Middle East have exacerbated 145 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:31,920 under the banner of regime change. 146 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:36,560 And we, we know that, that a lot of Western hegemony has caused a 147 00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:39,960 lot of the extreme Islamic stuff. 148 00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:44,680 And we've, we've just got to understand that there is a role 149 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:47,760 that the, the United States and, and the British have played in 150 00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:51,200 this. But Even so, you know, we've, 151 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,600 we've got to realise that there's a, there, there is a, a, 152 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,760 a, a dichotomy of, of humanitarian help to these 153 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,120 people as well as our national security. 154 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:05,520 So that has to be looked at. And the next slide is there's a, 155 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:10,200 there's the Jean Christophe Kuvi who was there in the, in the 156 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,840 migrant camps and he said they are armed. 157 00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:15,960 It's, it's a real mafia with networks going all the way back 158 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,200 to Iraq. And unfortunately this is the 159 00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:24,480 case and, and you know, we, we can't, we obviously it is, it is 160 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,480 the West has a lot to blame for this. 161 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:29,560 And when, when you look at, you know, who, who, how did these 162 00:10:29,560 --> 00:10:33,440 extreme groups, umm, appear? And a lot of it is to do with 163 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:37,240 Western hegemony and umm, you know, going into these countries 164 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,560 and causing dissent. So I think, you know, we, we, we 165 00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:44,480 can't be blameless in all that. But E equally, the people of 166 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:47,640 Britain are genuinely worried about all of this and I think 167 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:50,120 they have, you know, reason to be so. 168 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,000 And, you know, you look at if Yvette Cooper, the police, you 169 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,280 know, she's, she's now saying the police should reveal 170 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:00,640 suspects nationality. And of course we've got the 171 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:04,240 worry now of digital ID being brought in as a, as a reason. 172 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,240 It's problem reaction solution yet again. 173 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:10,360 So I, you know, I, where is this all going? 174 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,600 Well, you know, we've got to, we've got to have this, this, 175 00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:18,800 this, this thing where we, we, we, we do welcome people, but 176 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:22,040 this is a huge volume and it's happening very quickly. 177 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,040 And we know that the government are pushing this agenda through 178 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:28,280 the office of the International Office of Migration. 179 00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:34,520 And so, you know, we've got the, the, the, the, the worry also is 180 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,840 that the, there's different factions here at play. 181 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:42,080 You know, you've got the, the Sunnis, the, the Shias and the, 182 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:47,680 the, the Afghan soldiers that came over here that were, that 183 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:51,000 were, you know, we had, we had this, this whole data breach 184 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:57,480 that, that happened in 2022. And they're, they, they've had 185 00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,520 threats, you know, in their own country, you know, in the UK, 186 00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,840 they've been these, these Afghan soldiers were brought over here 187 00:12:04,200 --> 00:12:09,520 and the data breach has really left them very vulnerable 188 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:15,280 amongst extreme Sunni factions that we have here already. 189 00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,760 So I think they are a little bit, you know, worried. 190 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,400 And I think I've got a slide about the, the spreadsheet of 191 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,880 the umm, super injunction that the, with the relocation scheme 192 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:30,960 of Afghan data, which, you know, is, has put them in a difficult 193 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:34,640 position here. Umm, so, you know, where does 194 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,360 this leave us? And I know people are really 195 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:41,080 worried and that Afghan migrant cover up has cost the British 196 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,400 taxpayers a massive amount of money, umm, because obviously 197 00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:46,080 compensation has had to be given. 198 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:49,920 And you know, all of this we have to look at the cost, as you 199 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,160 were saying, Brian, the cost of all of this and that there's 200 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:58,440 another slide here. The UK spends a record 5.38 201 00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:03,760 billion on asylum system with bills up over 30%. 202 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:07,840 So all of this, when we are in a cost of living crisis, is going 203 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,240 to cause problems. I, you know, it, it's got to be 204 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:15,800 said and people are genuinely worried and I think they have 205 00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:21,360 every reason to be worried. Sandy, Sandy, totally agree with 206 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,360 that. I think the the other point that 207 00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:28,040 we have to keep gently working through is that you could say 208 00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,760 what is happening. Many people do say that what is 209 00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,880 happening is shearing competence by the government. 210 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,840 But if you really dig, dig into the policies and you see the 211 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:45,040 amount of money and effort that is going into not only stocking 212 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:50,200 up the wars overseas but also then assisting these migrant 213 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:55,360 throat flows through Europe and into the UK in particular. 214 00:13:55,760 --> 00:14:00,800 This is not accidental. This is deliberate policy in 215 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:04,120 order to bring a very large number of people into the UK. 216 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,360 And then any person with a modicum of common sense would 217 00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,680 say this is nothing to do about with the colour of people's 218 00:14:11,680 --> 00:14:14,840 skin, It's to do with the volume of people coming into the 219 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:20,960 country and there is inevitably going to be problems due to the 220 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,880 sheer volume. So to me it's obvious that this 221 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,800 is calculated agenda by the by the government. 222 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:32,600 And then you say why would they want to create fear and 223 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,680 breakdown in UK? Well, the simple answer to that 224 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:40,520 is they need the chaos and the breakdown in order to bring in 225 00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:45,800 the more draconian agenda and we can see that coming in across 226 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:48,560 the board. So we are witnessing 227 00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,280 orchestrated breakdown and the migrants are being used as a key 228 00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,360 weapon to do that. So a lot of consideration and 229 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,480 debate needed and certainly we need to hold the government to 230 00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:03,640 account. But Vanessa, welcome to the 231 00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:07,080 news. Of course, it isn't just UK 232 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:11,600 that's experiencing problems with the influx of people and 233 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:15,760 Cyprus has now come into the bracket in relation to Israel. 234 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:23,000 Yes, it has, if we can just put this quote up on screen. 235 00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,080 This is from it's a speech from the Third Zionist Congress of 236 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:32,240 1899. David Treach, born in Germany, a 237 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:36,720 founder of the Zionist movement, one of the founders, believed in 238 00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:41,760 practical colonisation, not negotiations with Palestine. 239 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:48,320 In order to colonise Palestinian land from 1917 onwards, Jews 240 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,600 shouldn't seek refuge in lands favourable for European 241 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:55,040 settlement, as they would encounter resistance in every 242 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,800 such country. They also won't be able to 243 00:15:57,800 --> 00:16:00,240 efficiently settle in tropical regions. 244 00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:04,000 Given these conditions, Cyprus is the most suitable location 245 00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:07,160 for Jewish settlement. While the island isn't a magnet 246 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,200 for European settlers, it's climate is suitable for 247 00:16:10,200 --> 00:16:12,760 Europeans. And notably, it's in close 248 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:18,160 proximity to Israel, serving as a gateway to it. 249 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,920 And if we look at this looking back in history, this is from 250 00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:27,400 the New York Times in 1935. David Treach dies, they call him 251 00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,840 an outstanding Zionist. Of course that is not 252 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,800 necessarily a compliment in the view of those who condemn what 253 00:16:33,800 --> 00:16:36,240 the Zionists are doing to Palestinians. 254 00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:40,160 And he urged practical colonisation of Palestine, 255 00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:42,760 agricultural and economic experts. 256 00:16:42,760 --> 00:16:46,000 So that brings us very rapidly to what's happening in the last 257 00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:50,080 few years. This is very recently an article 258 00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,880 in Al Mayadeen. Cyprus faces outcry over Israeli 259 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,560 real estate surge and sovereignty fears. 260 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,800 Let's have a look at what's 1 of the politicians in I think it's 261 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:08,480 Greek Cyprus, said AKEL Leader warns of organized land 262 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,040 acquisition At a recent conference of Cyprus's leftist 263 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:15,680 Progressive Party of Working People, the Secretary General 264 00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:18,880 Stefano Stefano issued a stark warning. 265 00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,480 Lightning the patterning. Sorry, the pattern of Israeli 266 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,800 real estate acquisitions in Cyprus to the early stages of 267 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,560 settler expansion in historic Palestine. 268 00:17:29,360 --> 00:17:32,480 This is not just investment, it mirrors what happens in 269 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,280 Palestine, gradual land takeover, he stated, adding that 270 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,760 key purchases are being made in strategic areas that could 271 00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:41,920 eventually undermine Cypriot. National. 272 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:47,240 Control, and this, as I said, is is not necessarily recent, 273 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:48,880 although it seems to be ramping up. 274 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:55,440 This is the President of Greek Cyprus. neighbors, friends, 275 00:17:55,440 --> 00:17:58,240 strategic partners. This was a tweet he put out very 276 00:17:58,240 --> 00:18:01,200 recently, a forward-looking discussion with my good friend 277 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,880 President Isaac Herzog on addressing challenges and 278 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,040 creating opportunities for our neighborhood. 279 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:13,080 Cyprus is a reliable, stable, trustworthy partner committed to 280 00:18:13,080 --> 00:18:15,960 regional cooperation with the Israel. 281 00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:21,640 The Zionist flag on the on the post, and this was back from 282 00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:26,240 2024 in Daily Subba. Zionism's grip on Northern 283 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:30,800 Cyprus grows stronger each day. And what did they actually say 284 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,240 within the article? A couple of very important 285 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,560 points. First of all, they agreed with 286 00:18:35,560 --> 00:18:41,360 the idea that specific areas are being effectively occupied by 287 00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:45,800 Zionist, the individuals and corporations that have been 288 00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:48,720 increasingly investing in Northern Cyprus with a 289 00:18:48,720 --> 00:18:52,600 particular focus on the Escala region in close proximity to 290 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:57,080 Israel, Jewish investors or even establishing their own housing 291 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:02,320 projects and neighborhoods. And then basically the more 292 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:06,000 disturbing article that's come out very recently in Hebrew 293 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:11,760 media, this is in Israel. Hyom, Northern Cyprus is also an 294 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,200 Israeli problem and if we look at the text within the article, 295 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,640 I highly recommend people reading it because of course, 296 00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:23,160 what are they doing? They are raising the concerns. 297 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:28,480 Cyprus recently marked the 51st anniversary of Turkey's 1974 298 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:32,960 invasion, which of course was engineered by Kissinger at the 299 00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,080 time. The history on that is is very 300 00:19:35,080 --> 00:19:39,120 interesting. In practical terms, they say 301 00:19:39,120 --> 00:19:42,800 Northern Cyprus functions as an international no man's land, 302 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:47,320 enabling Turkey and terrorist groups like Hamas and Iran's 303 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:51,160 Quds Forces unrestricted operational freedom. 304 00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:56,360 So obviously now they're framing the entire subject as a 305 00:19:56,360 --> 00:20:02,200 potential for an Israeli need to conduct, as usual, pre emptive 306 00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:05,760 self defence for Israeli national security. 307 00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,760 And they go on to say within the article, they talk about the 308 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,360 potential for an operation to liberate. 309 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:15,280 Northern Cyprus. So if we could just have up the 310 00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:21,080 the next slide, it's there. Thank you. 311 00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,240 Threat reaches critical threshold. 312 00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,520 Israel, in coordination with Greece and Cyprus, must prepare 313 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:33,120 a contingency operation to liberate the islands N eliminate 314 00:20:33,120 --> 00:20:36,600 air defence systems in Northern Cyprus, destroy intelligence and 315 00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:41,000 command centres and finally remove Turkish forces restoring 316 00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,640 internationally recognized Cypriot sovereignty. 317 00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:50,680 And they go on to describe how the operation would would be and 318 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,640 have what they would call it. The contingency plan could be 319 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:57,720 termed Poseidon's Roth after the Greek God of the sea, 320 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,880 highlighting maritime dominance, which of course means trade 321 00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:05,080 dominance, effectively Turkey. And this is interesting because 322 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:08,240 now they're they're effectively bringing in the framing of 323 00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,480 Turkish weapons of mass destruction. 324 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,280 Of course, previously we saw them preemptively strike the 325 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:21,720 Osirak nuclear reactor in 1981 in Iraq and in 2007 they 326 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:28,160 preemptively struck an alleged nuclear reactor project backed 327 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,840 by North Korea in Syria. Now and of course Iran is the 30 328 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:38,960 year gag on on nuclear production, Turkey currently 329 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:43,080 constructing the problematic A Caillou nuclear plant on its 330 00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,680 Mediterranean coast. This should be internalised so 331 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:49,240 here in this article. Effectively what they're doing 332 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:53,520 is framing the potential for military intervention in Cyprus. 333 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:59,960 Of course, Cyprus is very much occupied by by British military 334 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:03,240 and Air Force. Air Force that has been used to 335 00:22:03,360 --> 00:22:08,880 sustain and assist the genocide in Gaza, allegedly surveilling 336 00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:14,840 Gaza for hostages, but of course providing equipment to the 337 00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:20,840 Zionist forces and surveilling Palestinian civilians inside 338 00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:25,080 Gaza that of course were then targeted by the IOF. 339 00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:31,520 So very disturbing times at the moment, the fact that they are 340 00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,760 declaring that Turkey has weapons of mass destruction. 341 00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:40,240 We know that Cyprus for a long time has been the money 342 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:44,680 laundering Center for the region, for the Israelis, even 343 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,680 for the Turks themselves. But also more recently, as I'll 344 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:53,440 talk about in my next section, for the AL Qaeda elements now 345 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:58,080 ruling and destroying Syria on behalf of the British, the UK, 346 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:03,720 the UK, the US and Israel. But it's also about, in my 347 00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:08,280 opinion, the wider war of preventing Turkish hegemony in a 348 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:13,320 region where Israel sees itself as being supremacist. 349 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:18,560 It's already prevented near Ottoman expansion in Syria by 350 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,680 Turkey. Now it is targeting effectively 351 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:27,760 Turkish held territory in Cyprus, threatening to push 352 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:32,400 Turkey out of a very strategic position in the Mediterranean, 353 00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,000 which of course is jam packed full of hydrocarbons and and oil 354 00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,880 resources and also challenging Turkey in the north of Lebanon. 355 00:23:41,320 --> 00:23:44,560 So we're seeing at the moment, in my opinion, a war between 356 00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:48,440 Greater Israel and Greater Turkey, if, if you like, which 357 00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:51,880 will take in Cyprus at some point, in my opinion. 358 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,680 Vanessa, thank. Thank you very much for that 359 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,880 comprehensive report. It, it is quite extraordinary, 360 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,760 isn't it, that you would have thought reasonable people would 361 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,000 be at least trying to deal with the, the chaos and the, the war 362 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,760 in Gaza before unleashing another front. 363 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,960 But here we are in Cyprus talking about effectively 364 00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:18,600 dealing with the with the north of the islands. 365 00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:22,720 Now Israel can only be making these policies and this type of 366 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:27,240 rhetoric. They can only do it with the 367 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,040 full support of particularly the UK because of EU KS military 368 00:24:31,360 --> 00:24:36,040 bases on the on the island but also the support of the 369 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,920 international community. So what do you think we're 370 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,840 seeing here? This is Israel, but I'd suggest 371 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:48,360 Israel can only do this because it has the full backing of what 372 00:24:48,360 --> 00:24:52,000 we will call the rules based international order. 373 00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:57,280 Well, effectively what we're seeing now, and we've, we've 374 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:02,400 touched on this in previous UK column news is almost 375 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:04,840 overarching the regional conflicts. 376 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:07,520 For example, in West Asia. I mean, you're talking about 377 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,040 it's extending to Cyprus, but of course it's extended into 378 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,600 Lebanon, into Syria, into Iraq, into Iran. 379 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,680 Israel is bombing Yemen. So Israel appears to have 380 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,640 absolutely no problem with overextending itself in the 381 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,880 region to achieve its Greater Israel project. 382 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:30,200 But also on behalf of the UK and the US to basically redraw the 383 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,480 borders. The, the Sykes Picot borders 384 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,480 from 1917, very dear to the British and the French are 385 00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:41,920 effectively being extended and redrawn to take in the global 386 00:25:42,360 --> 00:25:46,080 corridors. So the, the, the economic hubs, 387 00:25:46,440 --> 00:25:52,200 the transit routes through for example, Azerbaijan, we're 388 00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,680 seeing the US, Israeli, Turkish build up in the Zanguzur 389 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:59,960 corridor that is now being challenged by Russia and Iran. 390 00:26:01,120 --> 00:26:06,440 Cyprus, of course, is, is a, is a very important route from West 391 00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:10,760 Asia into Europe. So it's incredibly strategic 392 00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:16,640 both for Turkey and for, for Israel in its run towards 393 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,320 achieving regional hegemony with the help of the Arab Gulf 394 00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,360 states. And so I think, you know, it's, 395 00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:27,560 it's, it's really part of a much, much wider war that's 396 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,520 ongoing at the moment. And it is all about redrawing 397 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:34,280 the economic borders and securing and straddling 398 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:39,280 territory that incorporates those economic corridors for the 399 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:44,320 future, both to to compete with China, Russia and Iran and 400 00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:47,720 effectively to isolate Iran eventually, if you look at where 401 00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,720 the corridors are now being targeted. 402 00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,400 Vanessa, thank. Thank you very much. 403 00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:58,000 Really excellent and quite, quite extraordinary what's 404 00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,520 happening there in Cyprus. We'll definitely go into to this 405 00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:06,240 issue much deeper in UK column extra after the news. 406 00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,160 Let's move on to happier things and that must be the UK column 407 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:16,920 on location event coming up on Saturday 18th of October. 408 00:27:17,520 --> 00:27:20,800 Now we've been saying that tickets have been selling fast 409 00:27:20,800 --> 00:27:24,720 and we were telling the truth because we've sold well over 410 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,520 half the tickets now. And if you haven't bought a 411 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:31,760 ticket, we're going to encourage you to do that because we would 412 00:27:31,760 --> 00:27:35,240 love to see you there. But also, as we've said many 413 00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:40,240 times, a sell out of this event will give us the stepping stone 414 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:44,560 to what you have all asked us for, which is a weekend event in 415 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:49,080 2026 to celebrate 20 years of UK column. 416 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,520 It's almost difficult to say that actually because I think we 417 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,480 can say the time seems in some ways to have gone so quickly. 418 00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,360 But here we are. We're coming up to 20 years of 419 00:27:59,360 --> 00:28:03,560 the UK column and we've only been able to do that with the 420 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:09,080 tremendous support of people not only in UK but worldwide. 421 00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:14,240 If you're not a supporter of UK column, then get onto the UK 422 00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:18,840 column website and have a look for the click here and that will 423 00:28:18,840 --> 00:28:22,800 bring up the menu for you to make a donation or to join us as 424 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,240 a monthly subscriber, paid subscriber. 425 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,080 And that not only keeps us going but helps us to expand. 426 00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,400 So very, very important. And of course, you can also make 427 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:37,400 purchases from the shop as a way of supporting us. 428 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:43,560 Now on the subject of tickets for the event, Speaking of the 429 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:48,240 shop, a little video here to say that if you click on shop, the 430 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,560 tickets will come up on screen. You can select your option. 431 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:56,760 There's a ticket only or there's a ticket plus evening meal and 432 00:28:57,200 --> 00:29:00,720 you can make your purchase through the Through the UK 433 00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:05,040 column website. And also we are offering online 434 00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:10,920 stream tickets as well. So if you can't come to see us 435 00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:15,520 in person, then have a have a think about watching online from 436 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:19,480 the comfort of home. But first of all, huge support 437 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,400 to everybody that's bought tickets. 438 00:29:22,040 --> 00:29:27,840 We are, well, I'm lost for words and it's true because we haven't 439 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:31,720 yet announced all of our speakers and yet we still have 440 00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:35,160 this tremendous confidence from our audience that it's going to 441 00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:37,800 be a major and very enjoyable event. 442 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,040 So thank you for that confidence. 443 00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:43,680 And now tonight, another one of Germs episodes. 444 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,960 This is with Jamal Ruffolf. We'll be talking about the 445 00:29:47,960 --> 00:29:52,720 chemistry of Cyclone B. This is historical and deep 446 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,760 analysis. So that is out tonight at 7:00 447 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,400 and on Thursday we've got Ben Rubin talking with Escape Key on 448 00:30:03,400 --> 00:30:07,120 reverse engineering of the architecture of totalitarian 449 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:11,920 control. SO2 deeper interviews there, but 450 00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:16,120 I'm sure well worth watching. Now I'd also like to say we 451 00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:20,640 regularly get very nice emails and I would like to just 452 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:25,240 recognise Alexia from the Netherlands who took time to 453 00:30:25,240 --> 00:30:29,920 e-mail me a couple of days ago in the 1st place. 454 00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:34,680 But she says she found UK column on YouTube or Rumble in late 455 00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:40,960 2020 or early 2021. And excuse me, she realised in 456 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,840 the spring or summer of 2020 that there was a scam demic 457 00:30:44,840 --> 00:30:49,360 going on and she went searching for answers and came to the UK 458 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:52,320 column. And as a result of that, Alexia 459 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,960 is still a supporter of UK column and has taken the trouble 460 00:30:56,960 --> 00:31:00,160 to tell us so. So thank you very much for that. 461 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,960 And again, I'm going to say a huge thank you to people 462 00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:08,080 wherever you are in the world. And we know there's now a huge 463 00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,720 number of countries watching UK column. 464 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:18,440 Now just a little reminder that a week or so ago I put out this 465 00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:22,120 interview with Lynn Lopez Salzedo. 466 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:26,400 From Zionist to anti Zionist memories, dreams and visions of 467 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,840 peace. We've had a very good response 468 00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:31,720 to this interview and I'm looking forward to doing more 469 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:37,360 with Lynn and also with other friends and colleagues and other 470 00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:40,800 people from the Jewish community that have contacted the UK 471 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:45,640 column in order to give their views and concerns as to what's 472 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:50,800 happening in Israel and Gaza. And just to reinforce that this 473 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,560 is going back to 2016, but this is a collection of people's 474 00:31:55,560 --> 00:32:00,320 thoughts confronting Zionism, collection of personal stories. 475 00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,560 Excuse me. And this document was put out by 476 00:32:04,560 --> 00:32:09,240 Jewish Voice for Peace and we'll make sure there's a link for 477 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,600 that in the show notes so that you can have a look at that 478 00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:16,240 downloadable copy. Now, we'd also remind people 479 00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:20,920 that weekend of the 22nd, 25th of August is the Hope Sussex 480 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,240 event. This is camping, music, talks 481 00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:30,520 and people coming together to talk about serious matters in 482 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:33,840 UK, but also to be together for fun and enjoyment. 483 00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:39,360 If you use the UKC 20 code, you'll get a 20% discount on the 484 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:43,120 ticket. And to press home, the Point UK 485 00:32:43,120 --> 00:32:47,640 column will be there to put a stake in the ground for free 486 00:32:47,640 --> 00:32:49,960 speech. And remember that this wonderful 487 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:54,320 event has already been smeared by mainstream journalists. 488 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:58,160 Clearly they don't like good people coming together. 489 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,800 Now let's move on to the subject, excuse me, of the 490 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,920 government playing with our minds. 491 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:09,760 And I'm very grateful to AUK column viewer for sending me 492 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:11,760 this article. Now, unfortunately, I haven't 493 00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,880 got a date on it. I think it was a a few weeks 494 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:19,640 ago, possibly a month ago, but it's from Scottish Herald Daniel 495 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:23,160 Powell. Tribunal Glasgow civil servant 496 00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:26,400 loses case. Interesting that the headline 497 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:30,160 doesn't give any clue as to what's going on here, but if we 498 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:35,480 delve into reports around this, all becomes clear very quickly. 499 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:40,520 So Mr. Powell, a civilian based with the MOD in Glasgow, was 500 00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:46,240 forced to read a paper which suggested that white people are 501 00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:51,120 psychotic, cannot be reasoned with and must be destroyed. 502 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,080 And as a result he sued the government to race 503 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,200 discrimination and harassment, claiming the way that diversity 504 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,080 and inclusion is being implemented within the MOD 505 00:34:01,200 --> 00:34:05,680 breaches the Civil Service Code as he considers that what's 506 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:10,840 happening represents a left wing and Marxist political ideology. 507 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,840 But his case was dismissed because while the tribunal found 508 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,600 that the Psychosis of Whiteness paper had been part of the 509 00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:25,040 material given to managers within the MOD, Mr. Powell had 510 00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:28,960 apparently misread it. He was not bright enough to 511 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:35,040 understand what it said and effectively the tribal tribunal 512 00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:39,159 concluded that the MOD had never directly disseminated the 513 00:34:39,159 --> 00:34:44,120 document to staff, had never used it in training and did not 514 00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:48,800 endorse it's contents. But effectively the the 515 00:34:49,159 --> 00:34:53,800 gentleman claimed the MOD had been taken over by subversives. 516 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:58,200 But the judge said that basically it was important for 517 00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,240 democracy. The papers, like the one in the 518 00:35:01,240 --> 00:35:06,680 case, challenge people's views and as such its use by the MOD 519 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:11,840 could not be found to be discriminatory against its 520 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:15,280 staff. And I I think the final comment 521 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,160 by this lawyer, Andrew Gibson, says it all. 522 00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:24,960 Representing the MOD, the lawyer said that the claimant simply 523 00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:29,680 had a skewed view and sees himself as a spokesperson for 524 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:34,080 downtrodden white men. I'm just going to remind our 525 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,960 audience that some time ago I've put here circa 2019. 526 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:43,520 Apologies, this is not a good image, but this was a grid that 527 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,080 the MOD circulated, which was apparently to get people to look 528 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:52,600 for indicators and warnings against people who were right 529 00:35:52,600 --> 00:35:56,840 wing extremist within the military and the army in 530 00:35:56,840 --> 00:36:01,520 particular. And my point here is that this 531 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:06,400 type of policy is not only alive and well, it's being accelerated 532 00:36:06,400 --> 00:36:10,920 by the government in order not only to capture our minds, but 533 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:17,240 to control the way we think we speak and think and on the 534 00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:19,520 subject to manipulation of our minds. 535 00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:23,360 I'll add to this little section the fact that on the 536 00:36:23,360 --> 00:36:29,280 parliamentary website, fairly recently, the description as to 537 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,680 the role of an MP was changed. Now, luckily, one of our 538 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:38,160 supporters put in a Freedom of Information request asking why 539 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:43,600 the description was changed and where the orders for that change 540 00:36:43,600 --> 00:36:46,920 had originally come from. And I have to say that the 541 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,080 answer that came back was very dismissive. 542 00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:55,160 It says that the Freedom of Information Act 2000 only 543 00:36:55,160 --> 00:36:59,320 provides you with the public with access to recorded 544 00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:01,880 information held at the time of the request. 545 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:07,800 It does not extend to providing confirmations or explanations 546 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:11,760 which are not already held in recorded form, nor are we 547 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,720 required by the ACT to create information. 548 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,560 To answer your question. It goes on to say that that 549 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:24,040 said, it may help the person asking the question to know that 550 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:28,080 the web page they referred to is managed and updated by the 551 00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:34,040 Houses Inquiry service. So this is hugely important that 552 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:39,800 the actual description as to the official role of an MP was 553 00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:43,360 changed on the website. But when a member of the public 554 00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:48,600 asks what this was about, who did this, the answer is 555 00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,360 effectively a wall of silence. Sandy, I'll just bring you here 556 00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:57,440 in here because this is really bringing home to us that we're 557 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:02,160 now being governed not only by a cabal, but it's a cabal that's 558 00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:07,320 prepared to manipulate information and data in order to 559 00:38:07,320 --> 00:38:12,560 deny us knowledge and or to skew our views on particular 560 00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:15,520 subjects. Could be immigration or it could 561 00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:18,400 be politicians. What do you think? 562 00:38:19,040 --> 00:38:22,960 It yes, exactly. I mean, we, we've, we've noticed 563 00:38:23,840 --> 00:38:28,880 throughout the years for decades now, NGOs change agents coming 564 00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:33,880 into into communities with with that in mind, with, with this 565 00:38:33,880 --> 00:38:37,160 idea of actually changing and skewing people's minds to 566 00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:41,720 certain ideologies. And I think, you know, we this 567 00:38:41,720 --> 00:38:44,120 open infiltration, as you know, for common purpose. 568 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:45,840 It's been happening for years and years. 569 00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,080 And what we see is a very pernicious almost. 570 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:55,560 It is an attack on, on, on the UK and, and Europe, actually the 571 00:38:55,560 --> 00:38:57,800 whole of Europe. It's an attack on the West. 572 00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:01,280 It's to destroy the West. And we see this every single 573 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:06,240 day, different policies that are destroying our, our, our 574 00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:08,240 infrastructure. I mean, you, you look at the 575 00:39:08,240 --> 00:39:11,000 climate stuff, it's destroying our farming. 576 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:15,680 Farmers are not farming now because they, they're, they're 577 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:19,920 being prevented to by climate change, you know, policy. 578 00:39:20,240 --> 00:39:23,240 So we see this with, with the immigration as well. 579 00:39:23,240 --> 00:39:26,200 And you know, I don't, I don't know whether we're, we're, 580 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:30,280 we're, we're going into, into what's happening locally now. 581 00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:33,640 No, no, we'll come. We just we'll. 582 00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:36,280 Come back to that. I just wanted to reinforce this 583 00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:40,160 point that the manipulation of our minds is an attack on the 584 00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:43,720 public and we have to understand the government's attack US. 585 00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:47,600 Vanessa, let's bring you back in. 586 00:39:47,600 --> 00:39:51,000 Because if we're talking about an attack on our minds, part of 587 00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,560 that big attack comes through surveillance. 588 00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:57,480 And when we look into the Oddis that are involved in 589 00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,200 surveillance, we can often come straight back to the Israeli 590 00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:05,800 unit 8200, which I think forms part of your report here. 591 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:10,920 Yeah, it does. But perhaps even more sinister 592 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,440 than that, you're absolutely right, is to focus today on the 593 00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:21,520 UAE, the role of the UAE in furthering the Zionist agenda 594 00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,560 both regionally and in Cyprus. And of course, the normalization 595 00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:30,280 between Israel and the UAE was very much engineered by Tony 596 00:40:30,280 --> 00:40:35,240 Blair back in 2015, as we've reported on here, when he 597 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:39,280 introduced various members of the UAE leadership to various 598 00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:43,160 members of Netanyahu's cabinet. And that relationship then 599 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,520 developed into UAE being one of the first to normalize with 600 00:40:46,520 --> 00:40:49,240 Israel. And so this is an article when I 601 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:52,640 was looking into the Cyprus issue and and for people to know 602 00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:57,120 that I will be writing a very in depth article on Cyprus for UK 603 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,720 column, which we'll go into a lot more detail about what's 604 00:40:59,720 --> 00:41:02,640 going on. But this article which talks 605 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,800 about the outsized role of surveillance technology in the 606 00:41:05,800 --> 00:41:10,360 Israel, UAE, Abraham Accords. And then if we look at what they 607 00:41:10,360 --> 00:41:13,520 actually talk about with reference to the Abraham 608 00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:17,760 Accords, far from a peace milestone, the Abraham Accords 609 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:21,160 represent the public formalisation of a long standing 610 00:41:21,160 --> 00:41:25,960 covert partnership, as I said, very much begun by Tony Blair, 611 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,920 between two governments with interests in population control 612 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:33,280 and surveillance. We've been covering Unit 8200 613 00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,920 for some time. The UAE purchased and deployed 614 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:40,320 Israeli surveillance technology well before the adoption of the 615 00:41:40,320 --> 00:41:43,880 Abraham Accords. Leaked emails in 2018 revealed 616 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:47,720 that the UAE signed a contract with NSO, which of course is 617 00:41:47,720 --> 00:41:53,960 Pegasus, Sky Spyware and Israeli Cyber war company, to license 618 00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:58,680 surveillance software as early as August 2013, including the 619 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:03,520 infamous Pegasus spyware. And then this is where it gets, 620 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:08,000 in my opinion, very sinister. So effectively what the UA is 621 00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:16,000 doing is acting as an outreach settlement com country for for 622 00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:21,480 Israel, for Israeli expansion. One of the primary companies 623 00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:27,760 involved in in this very shadowy surveillance tech is the Dark 624 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,440 matter group. If we can just put the slide up 625 00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,800 and Abu Abu Dhabi based cyber cybers, can we just go back one 626 00:42:35,800 --> 00:42:43,600 please, Brian, Thank you. Cybersecurity firm Doc Matter 627 00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:48,120 recruited some NSO staff and former Israeli operatives from 628 00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,840 Unit A200 offering $1 million salaries per year and luxury 629 00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:58,120 homes in Cyprus. So here is the UAE effectively 630 00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:04,520 enabling the settlement or the expansion of Israel into Cyprus. 631 00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:08,680 And of course Dark Matter Group, which I will write more about in 632 00:43:08,680 --> 00:43:14,360 the article, were responsible for or or linked to the 633 00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:20,560 assassination of Khashoggi. They were also linked to Project 634 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:25,480 Raven, which in fact was established, including or 635 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:33,280 employing NSA employees to spy not only on internal dissidents, 636 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:37,840 which who were then arrested and subjected to torture, but also 637 00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:42,960 effectively on American individuals and on governments 638 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:47,640 outside of the UAE. It was a massive scandal, yeah. 639 00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:52,160 And, and this is something that I think we're seeing now in in 640 00:43:52,160 --> 00:43:55,240 the Gulf States, but particularly with UAE, that they 641 00:43:55,240 --> 00:44:00,760 are effectively taking on the mantle of authoritarian AI 642 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:05,440 development with the collaboration of Israel and the 643 00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:11,040 Unit 8200 and all of the other military linked spy agencies 644 00:44:11,040 --> 00:44:14,280 that are working and have been working to bring about the 645 00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:18,920 genocide of the Palestinians or or an intensified genocide from 646 00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:23,040 October the 7th, developing smart cities, for example, in 647 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:26,600 Hebron. And now the UAE will be used 648 00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:31,360 along with other Gulf states to effectively extend that AI 649 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:36,760 dictatorship influence that originates from the Zionist tech 650 00:44:36,760 --> 00:44:40,800 industry in in Israel. And as I mentioned in the in the 651 00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:44,840 previous report, also worryingly, the Cyprus 652 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:48,360 connection to NATO's Syrian caliphate. 653 00:44:48,720 --> 00:44:52,440 Interesting that Jonathan Powell, Tony Blair's former 654 00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,360 security advisor and point man in the Middle East, is back in 655 00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:00,680 Damascus today speaking to Jolani's al Qaeda 656 00:45:00,680 --> 00:45:02,680 administration. Members of. 657 00:45:02,960 --> 00:45:06,560 And we know that he has an office, a permanent office in 658 00:45:06,560 --> 00:45:11,160 the presidential palace. But it's been reported, and I've 659 00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:14,720 heard it from various sources inside Syria, that Jolani, since 660 00:45:14,720 --> 00:45:19,040 he took control of Idlib in the northwest of Syria prior to the 661 00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,920 coup in December 2024, he was siphoning Syria's wealth and is 662 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:28,360 continuing to do so through Turkey and into Cyprus, where 663 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:34,160 the al Qaeda extremists have bank accounts and are basically 664 00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:38,760 coordinating to establish territorial presence there and 665 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:41,440 to take gold and wealth out of Syria. 666 00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:45,040 Because, of course, Jelani understands that his role there 667 00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:50,480 will be temporary. Vanessa, thank you. 668 00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,480 We can see pieces of a very big jigsaw coming together. 669 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:59,520 I will say to our audience that if they are, I'm still surprised 670 00:45:59,520 --> 00:46:03,560 at the power and influence of of Israel in this internationalist 671 00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,480 sense. Remember it was Francis Maude 672 00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:11,000 from the Conservative Party here in the UK many years ago that 673 00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:16,200 suddenly announced A partnership with Israel through security 674 00:46:16,200 --> 00:46:22,080 that was linking GCHQ Unit 8200, which is Vanessa's mentioned. 675 00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:26,480 So our intelligence and our security services were being 676 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:30,480 directly linked with Israel. There was no debate in the House 677 00:46:30,480 --> 00:46:33,280 about this. And of course the other bodies 678 00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:36,320 that were brought into that agreement with the universities 679 00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:41,400 in UK. So all of this assembly of, of a 680 00:46:41,400 --> 00:46:47,120 joint power base with Israel was visible, hidden in plain sight 681 00:46:47,120 --> 00:46:52,240 in UK many years ago. And both Conservative and Labour 682 00:46:52,240 --> 00:46:59,200 governments have continued to push this amalgam of, of these 683 00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,840 very powerful globalist interests. 684 00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,440 Lot more to discuss, but thank you very much, Vanessa. 685 00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:11,040 Now we're going to return to UK and Sandy, this is the point at 686 00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:14,920 which you've been hearing concerns from local people and 687 00:47:14,920 --> 00:47:17,480 the subject is the creation of mosques. 688 00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:24,480 Yes, some people from Weston Super Mare got in touch with me 689 00:47:24,480 --> 00:47:28,800 because I know there's there's there's cities of sanctuary or 690 00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:31,640 towns of sanctuary or councils of sanctuary all over England 691 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:35,160 now. But Weston Super Mare is a, is a 692 00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:40,760 council of sanctuary and they've received a planning permit. 693 00:47:40,760 --> 00:47:43,160 The people have have realised there's a planning application 694 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:47,000 going through for a very large building, a very large mosque, 695 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,120 which is occupying 3 three buildings in the centre of the 696 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:54,600 town. And as you can see, and from the 697 00:47:54,600 --> 00:47:57,640 slide there there, you know, it's quite a big, it's a very 698 00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:00,200 big mosque. And actually it's, it's the 699 00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:05,600 biggest mosque between Bristol and and, and Bridgewater. 700 00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:08,280 And they're, they're, what's interesting is that they're 701 00:48:08,280 --> 00:48:14,430 talking about the expansion of the population of, of Weston 702 00:48:14,427 --> 00:48:36,400 Super So I don't believe that, that, 703 00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:39,640 that, that people are inherently racist here. 704 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,360 Um, obviously there are some we've got, we've got Tommy 705 00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,360 Robinson whipping things up and Farage, but on, on average, I've 706 00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:50,000 looked at this, um, 7 page document which has been put 707 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:54,160 through to oppose this mosque. Um, I'm just, uh, got the, the 708 00:48:54,240 --> 00:48:57,880 migration and, uh, of course it's all the 2030 agenda. 709 00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:02,520 As we know, uh, all of this is, is a, is a plan and it's rolling 710 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:05,920 out and it's having the desired effect because actually what 711 00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,760 they want is civil unrest. So we've got to be so careful. 712 00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,720 We've got to be very measured. And what I was impressed with 713 00:49:13,720 --> 00:49:25,920 was these people from Weston super It's, they've, they've 714 00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:29,640 produced A7 page document to back up the petition that they, 715 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:33,080 they raised of over 1000 people, um, against the planning 716 00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,400 application. Um, it's right in the Senate. 717 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:37,520 It was the residents association that did this. 718 00:49:37,920 --> 00:49:41,560 And I have to say, looking at it, it was a really, really, um, 719 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:47,040 considered and not inflammatory document. 720 00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:51,440 Um, but it was put, um, that the term in the terms of the 721 00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:52,800 planning application for the mosque. 722 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:57,480 The key thing is that that North Somerset Council has removed all 723 00:49:57,480 --> 00:50:01,480 the comments about this planning application, um, because they 724 00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:04,800 consider them offensive. That is because people would 725 00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:10,280 voicing genuine concerns, but they won't let anybody see the 726 00:50:10,280 --> 00:50:12,680 comments. So where is this coming from? 727 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:17,160 So who's deciding what can and cannot be said here and what is 728 00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:18,960 offensive? We, we don't know. 729 00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:22,720 The debate, you know, is in the conversation which nobody is 730 00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,960 allowed to have. Now, I don't believe that 731 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:35,200 everyone in in in Weston Super So it does speak volumes and, 732 00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,760 and The thing is there should be dialogue on all this and there 733 00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,240 hasn't been. And that's the main problem. 734 00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:44,640 It's all about speed, volume and dialogue. 735 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:49,040 There's been a lack of dialogue and this whole programme is 736 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,120 happening. I mean, the, the, the immigrant 737 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,800 programme has been happening at at great speed and at great 738 00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:57,120 volume. And that is the problem. 739 00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:02,320 You know, it's not people being uh, NIMBY or, or, or racist or 740 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:05,320 anything else. It's people being genuinely 741 00:51:05,440 --> 00:51:08,240 concerned about what is happening in the UK and we have 742 00:51:08,240 --> 00:51:11,800 to emphasize this. Um, so they, they, the residents 743 00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:15,560 association got in touch with me because they knew that the UK 744 00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:18,960 column could voice their concerns, uh, in a measured way. 745 00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:20,920 And I hopefully this is what we're doing. 746 00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:25,880 Um, so there's, there's been a lack of transparency that it's 747 00:51:25,880 --> 00:51:28,720 all been rushed through. The people are reacting to this, 748 00:51:28,720 --> 00:51:30,960 this way, the way it's been handled. 749 00:51:31,840 --> 00:51:34,120 It's not that they're far right, You know, the Council of 750 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:37,120 Sanctuaries, a national international network, but most 751 00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:50,760 people in Weston Super So let's look at the, the city 752 00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:54,360 of sanctuary charter. Um, now this was, this was 753 00:51:54,360 --> 00:52:00,320 brought in, you know, 2022 to 2025 and, and it's, it, it seems 754 00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:05,920 to be financed by lots of NGOs, the National Lottery, all sorts 755 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,080 of, you know, it's very, very shady where it's all come from. 756 00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:13,880 And it's just kind of tipped up in, in, in, in all these cities 757 00:52:13,880 --> 00:52:17,040 of sanctuary, there's a, there's always an office for the, for 758 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:21,440 the city of sanctuary charter. And that they, they, they, they 759 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:25,520 bring people in and they, they talk about stuff, but it's all 760 00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,920 about, we've got to be more inclusive. 761 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:30,640 We've got to do this. And it's a lot of DEI, but 762 00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,360 there's no real dialogue about what is really happening. 763 00:52:33,360 --> 00:52:35,160 And that's what people are concerned about. 764 00:52:36,320 --> 00:52:41,280 So let's have a look at this this the next slide. 765 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:44,040 Yeah, a lot of it's been brought through through through the 766 00:52:44,040 --> 00:52:46,240 national planning policy framework. 767 00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:51,240 And again, it's it's all it was first that was first published 768 00:52:51,240 --> 00:52:56,080 in in March 2012. And it it really is if I could 769 00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:59,680 have the next slide up with with that it regard. 770 00:52:59,680 --> 00:53:02,760 It's, it's all about, I'm just trying to read this because it's 771 00:53:02,760 --> 00:53:07,440 a bit small, but it's all it, it says, you know, it's North 772 00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,800 Somerset has always been and always will continue to be a 773 00:53:10,800 --> 00:53:14,160 place that celebrates and welcomes ethnic and cultural 774 00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,120 diversity. Well, of course it is. 775 00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:19,840 But at the moment this mosque, they're, they're worried about 776 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:21,880 it because it's going to be huge. 777 00:53:21,880 --> 00:53:27,600 It's going to be 24/7 with about, I think it's 341. 778 00:53:28,880 --> 00:53:33,560 You know, it's got the ability capacity of 341 men and that the 779 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:37,600 men have, you know, a, a, a, a, a different entry to the women. 780 00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,040 The men are going to be occupying this mainly. 781 00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:46,280 And you know that the, as I, as it says on, on the, the, the 782 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,920 planning application that they, they removed all the comments 783 00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:54,640 and people are worried also it will encompass a, a morgue, a 784 00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,440 24/7 morgue. But more than anything else, I 785 00:53:58,440 --> 00:54:02,480 think people are worried that this is a Sunni mosque and that 786 00:54:02,480 --> 00:54:07,440 with, with the tensions that are already firing up with the SEC, 787 00:54:07,680 --> 00:54:10,840 you know, the sex SEC, you know, the secular stuff that's going 788 00:54:10,840 --> 00:54:14,440 on in France, The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the troubles 789 00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:17,520 that they're having in the, in the migrant camps between 790 00:54:17,520 --> 00:54:21,920 different sectarian facts. We've just got to look at what 791 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,520 is really going on here because people are worried because 792 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:29,520 they've already taken in the Afghan population from from when 793 00:54:29,520 --> 00:54:34,760 Kabul was was very speedily evacuated and they brought the, 794 00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,000 the, the, the Afghan migrants here who were involved with, 795 00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,160 with obviously the, the western side. 796 00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,640 So you've got tension there and people are worried about that, 797 00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:47,520 very rightly worried about that. Now there's also the idea that 798 00:54:47,640 --> 00:54:52,440 this is, this is a bit like, I think the government are, are 799 00:54:52,440 --> 00:54:56,640 really pushing this through different NGOs and they're, I 800 00:54:56,640 --> 00:55:16,640 know Weston Super So you've got the the sanctuary 801 00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:21,440 awards and there's they, they mentioned within the sanctuary 802 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:25,000 awards, they mentioned the theory this, this. 803 00:55:25,360 --> 00:55:26,840 Could I have the next slide, please? 804 00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,440 Oh, this is their values. They've got inclusivity, you 805 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:35,120 know, openness, participation, inspire integrity. 806 00:55:35,320 --> 00:55:40,680 All of this sounds very, very good, but to to bring this into 807 00:55:40,720 --> 00:55:46,440 a very sleepy seaside town is going to cause tension between 808 00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:51,440 different factions there already within the UK of Islamic people, 809 00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:55,320 but also between the people that, that that live there. 810 00:55:55,640 --> 00:56:01,280 So this is the, I mean, This is why unfortunately we are a 811 00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:04,480 tolerant race. We always have been, but this is 812 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:08,280 kind of pushing people to be really concerned. 813 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:13,080 Now we've got the theory of change within that, that 814 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:18,120 document of the, the of the one that I mentioned earlier. 815 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:21,080 And it's the theory of change. They, they're pushing this whole 816 00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,080 theory of change. And the theory of change is 817 00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:26,920 really the NGO that's pushing a lot of this. 818 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:30,040 It's a, it's a theory. And I'd like to just flag up 819 00:56:30,040 --> 00:56:33,280 this video which explains what the theory of change is. 820 00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,000 A theory of change is a powerful tool that helps an organization 821 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:41,920 articulate the connection between their actions and their 822 00:56:41,920 --> 00:56:45,840 mission using the language of outcomes, a theory of change 823 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:49,480 helps you define your intended outcomes and the connections 824 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,240 between them. Identify the why and how of your 825 00:56:53,240 --> 00:56:56,600 organization. Create a foundation for 826 00:56:56,720 --> 00:57:00,720 evaluation, program development, organizational change, or 827 00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:04,280 strategic planning. Communicate more effectively 828 00:57:04,280 --> 00:57:06,760 with internal and external. Stakeholders. 829 00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:15,320 So what I'm seeing here is it, it is another sort of, if you 830 00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:20,920 like agents of change coming in to, to, to really push an 831 00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:24,280 ideology. And it's also heavily funded and 832 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:26,440 we need to find out who. And of course, when you look at 833 00:57:26,440 --> 00:57:30,000 it all, it all goes back to Agenda 2030. 834 00:57:30,360 --> 00:57:33,840 And what we're seeing here is a roll out of the the, the 835 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:38,520 infrastructure of Agenda 2030 within our communities that 836 00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:43,200 will, if we're not careful, end up being a bit of a disaster in 837 00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:47,200 my view. Sandy, thank you very much. 838 00:57:47,240 --> 00:57:51,120 Very emotive subject. The key thing is that we have to 839 00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:53,640 have dialogue in this country and we have to have 840 00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:55,880 understanding as to what's really going on. 841 00:57:56,400 --> 00:58:00,040 I'm going to end today's news by a very quick look at countering 842 00:58:00,040 --> 00:58:03,320 extremism, because of course we come back to this business that 843 00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:07,240 anybody who dares speak out about what's happening, not only 844 00:58:07,240 --> 00:58:12,400 here in UK, could be in Gaza or could be in Iraq or Iran, you 845 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,680 are going to come under the network of extremism. 846 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:20,840 So this is the government, the government's Commission 847 00:58:21,640 --> 00:58:25,280 Commissioner for countering extremism, Robin Simcox. 848 00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:30,040 And I just wanted to have a little look at what he said in 849 00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:34,120 part of the the commentary on the website, the government 850 00:58:34,120 --> 00:58:36,600 website itself. He says that the government's 851 00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:38,520 independent advisor on extremism. 852 00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:42,320 I have long observed A persistent debate around what 853 00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:46,560 motivates terrorism. Some point to the role, some 854 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:50,480 point to the role of ideas. Others emphasize socio 855 00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:54,240 economics, personal trauma or mental illness. 856 00:58:54,480 --> 00:58:58,640 This debate matters enormously for how we shape our counter 857 00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,000 terrorism policies. And he goes on to say that to 858 00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:05,760 bring clarity to this question, I've commissioned Doctor Donald 859 00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,480 Holbrook to conduct forensic research examining the 860 00:59:09,480 --> 00:59:13,720 electronic content collected from 100 UK terrorists over 861 00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:17,080 several decades. His findings published today, 862 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:23,600 are unequivocal and significant. Now, this is just one paragraph 863 00:59:23,600 --> 00:59:26,320 from the report, but I've decided to bring this to the 864 00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,040 fore. It says the evidence is clear. 865 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,560 And he goes on to say that what Doctor Holbrooke discovered is 866 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:35,160 striking. Terrorists do not merely dabble 867 00:59:35,560 --> 00:59:39,160 with extremist ideology. They immerse themselves in it. 868 00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:43,000 They actively seek it out. They consume, debate, and even 869 00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,520 produce ideological content that guides and justifies their 870 00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,520 actions. So, according to the 871 00:59:49,520 --> 00:59:51,600 Commissioner, it's all very clear. 872 00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:55,320 But let's remember what we discussed in Monday's news when 873 00:59:55,320 --> 01:00:00,240 Ben Rumid brought up this Policy Exchange document, which was 874 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:04,960 entitled Extremely Confused. The government's new counter 875 01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:08,960 extremism review revealed and this is because the document was 876 01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:13,280 basically saying that the government just had no idea what 877 01:00:13,280 --> 01:00:17,040 behaviour was what. It was confused, it was chaotic. 878 01:00:17,320 --> 01:00:20,520 It's a really interesting report to read. 879 01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:26,280 But whilst this tells us the chaos in government, the the 880 01:00:26,280 --> 01:00:30,480 Commissioner himself is appointing a man linked to this 881 01:00:30,480 --> 01:00:33,680 organization, the international, sorry, that should say 882 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,000 International Centre for Counterterrorism. 883 01:00:36,440 --> 01:00:41,640 And this is a think tank based in The Hague, Netherlands, 884 01:00:41,880 --> 01:00:44,560 providing research, policy advice, training and other 885 01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:48,480 solutions to support better counterterrorism policies. 886 01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:52,360 Well, here's if we just bring that, put that back on screen. 887 01:00:52,360 --> 01:00:54,800 Here's Donald, Donald Holbrook himself. 888 01:00:55,320 --> 01:00:58,640 And if you look at this organization, you quickly find 889 01:00:58,640 --> 01:01:03,880 that it's fully in bed with the European Union's own hub for the 890 01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:09,080 prevention of radicalisation. So we are not dealing with AUK 891 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:14,280 generated policy. We are still locked into an EU 892 01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:17,520 based policy. And as UK Column has said for 893 01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:22,120 many years, this is the reality of Brexit without the exit. 894 01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:26,800 Now, to end on a lighter note, but still with some teaching 895 01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:30,920 content, let's have a look at Yes Minister talking about 896 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,280 defence. I think we've shown this before, 897 01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,480 but I think it's an important one to review. 898 01:01:38,560 --> 01:01:40,440 Bernard, what is the purpose of our defence politics? 899 01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,400 To defend Britain is to make. People believe Britain is 900 01:01:43,400 --> 01:01:46,040 defended. The Russian. 901 01:01:46,080 --> 01:01:48,640 Not the Russians. The British Russians know it's 902 01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:49,800 not. For all our. 903 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,680 Simple, ignorant people. The aim of the defense policy is 904 01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:55,400 to make them feel secure. Bernard, we have a magic wand. 905 01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,920 It is called Trident. Nobody understands anything 906 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:02,000 about it except that it will cost £15 billion, which means it 907 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,680 must be wonderful. All we have to do is write a 908 01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:07,240 check and then we can all relax. But if people in government 909 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,680 start talking about it, in the end they'll start thinking about 910 01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:10,920 it. They will come to realize the 911 01:02:10,920 --> 01:02:12,880 problem, the flaws in the reasoning there. 912 01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:15,840 Is one thing there this TV broadcast is doing because he 913 01:02:15,840 --> 01:02:17,360 uses it to announce his new policy? 914 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:18,640 Regard firstly to have to go through. 915 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:20,400 Cabinet in the House? Well, you can do that if the 916 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:21,880 Prime Minister's made-up his mind then. 917 01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:25,120 He must unmake it. He's the Prime Minister, his 918 01:02:25,160 --> 01:02:27,360 own. Car, nice house in London, place 919 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:29,640 in the country, endless publicity and a pension for 920 01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:30,720 life. What more does he want? 921 01:02:30,720 --> 01:02:32,040 I. Think he wants to govern 922 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:33,480 Britain? Well, stop him, Bernard. 923 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:41,480 So comedy, humour, laughter, but a very strong message there that 924 01:02:41,480 --> 01:02:45,240 the people of Britain are to be deceived, they're be to be made 925 01:02:45,240 --> 01:02:49,000 to think what the power base wants and even the Prime 926 01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:53,320 Minister himself or herself is going to be controlled to do the 927 01:02:53,320 --> 01:02:55,240 bidding of those behind the scenes. 928 01:02:55,640 --> 01:02:59,600 So whilst we may laugh at that short clip, I think there's a 929 01:02:59,600 --> 01:03:03,800 lot of very serious comments and analysis has gone on in the 930 01:03:03,800 --> 01:03:08,320 background which reflects exactly on the position today. 931 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:11,080 We will leave it at we will leave it there. 932 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:14,080 Thank you very much for joining us, wherever you are in the 933 01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:17,240 world. And if you're Auk column member, 934 01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:20,680 we'll be back in a few moments for UK column extra. 935 01:03:21,560 --> 01:03:26,720 Vanessa and Sandy, I look forward to speaking in more 936 01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,200 detail about the subjects of today's news in our extra. 937 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:33,600 And thank you also for joining me on the news today. 938 01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:35,800 We'll leave it there. Bye bye.
