1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:06,840
I wanted to just come back onto 
the opening news item, right? 

2
00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:12,000
And somebody in the chat box had
said, or at some point it made 

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,320
the point that Tommy Robinson, 
if it wasn't for Tommy Robinson,

4
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,360
we wouldn't know anything about 
the grooming gangs. 

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,800
Now, this has got to be 
controversial thing to say, but 

6
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,880
I just would invite people to 
consider what's being said here.

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:33,240
Because the fact of the matter 
is that grooming gangs, as 

8
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:37,440
reprehensible as they are and as
needing prosecution as they 

9
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:45,600
have, as they are, that entire 
thing was, in my opinion, and 

10
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,560
aside from the criminality of 
it, an operation by the deep 

11
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:57,120
state designed to incite strong 
feelings in the community on 

12
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,560
whichever side of the argument 
you have in the sit, whether 

13
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:07,360
you're Asian or white British. 
Because the point that we've 

14
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:11,800
been trying to make for since 
the beginning of that issue was 

15
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,440
that the grooming gangs could 
not have operated without the 

16
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:18,640
full complicity of the state. 
They were permitted to do what 

17
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:21,360
they did. 
And we need to be asking why 

18
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,560
were they permitted to be, to do
what they did. 

19
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:28,880
Now, the excuse which is given 
is that people didn't step in 

20
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,920
because of concerns that they 
would be accused of being racist

21
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,400
in some way. 
Sorry, that does not wash. 

22
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,160
Criminality is criminality no 
matter who does it. 

23
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:47,280
And so that's an excuse. 
The other thing that I want to 

24
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,600
make, the other point that I 
want to reiterate once again, is

25
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:54,240
that contrary to much of the 
rhetoric which is right there, 

26
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:00,000
there is zero evidence to 
support the claim that there is 

27
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:05,240
a greater preponderance of 
sexual abuse of children in one 

28
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:08,759
community over another. 
And in fact, we have been 

29
00:02:08,759 --> 00:02:14,360
working with the abused in this 
country for 20 years. 

30
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:22,240
And we can absolutely say with 
certainty that the vast majority

31
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:25,720
of the people that we have been 
working with have been abused by

32
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:31,560
people who are not Asian. 
And certainly, well, let's just 

33
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,840
leave it, leave it at that point
there. 

34
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:40,640
So the question is, if Tommy 
Robinson has gotten the lid off 

35
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:45,240
grooming gangs, he did so with 
the support of the mainstream 

36
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:48,880
press in a sense, because 
suddenly that issue became an 

37
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,480
issue which hit the mainstream 
and therefore into a much 

38
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:55,640
broader public awareness than it
had been. 

39
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:01,280
And then again, we should be 
asking the question, why did the

40
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,760
mainstream media get onto that 
story and why now? 

41
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,440
The other thing that I would 
make the point, the other point 

42
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,800
that I would make here is that 
if you've been watching the UK 

43
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:17,480
column since I think around 
20/16/2017, we have been 

44
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:22,760
highlighting the fact that we 
started to see rhetoric from 

45
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:29,640
the, the, the police agencies 
that the, and the intelligence 

46
00:03:29,640 --> 00:03:34,040
agencies suddenly talking about 
the rise of a far right in this 

47
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,360
country. 
And at that time, we said that 

48
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:41,320
there was no such thing as a far
right in this country and that 

49
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,560
if there was a rise of the far 
right going to take place, it 

50
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,280
was going to happen because of 
the efforts of the British deep 

51
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,760
state. 
And I believe that's exactly 

52
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:58,680
what has happened in the sense 
that people of all classes are 

53
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,400
being radicalized to a certain 
degree. 

54
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:07,760
I say this is probably quite 
difficult for some people to 

55
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,680
hear somebody saying, but I 
think we've got to consider the 

56
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,720
possibility that that's what's 
been going on. 

57
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,279
And I think that's really what 
you were attempting to start the

58
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,760
conversation about with your 
report at the beginning of the 

59
00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,840
program, Charles. 
So I mean, what are your 

60
00:04:24,840 --> 00:04:26,200
thoughts and what I've just 
said? 

61
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:28,840
Yeah. 
Well, I would absolutely agree 

62
00:04:28,840 --> 00:04:31,600
with that. 
I would also cite very early on 

63
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:38,840
Raja Meer because UK column now 
has I think 2 interviews with 

64
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,280
Raja Ben. 
Ben Rubin's done 2 interviews 

65
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,600
with Raja Meer and indeed he 
spoke at our on location event 

66
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:50,240
in Cheltenham back in April. 
And absolute case in point, I 

67
00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:55,600
mean he, he, he, I would say 
would be the go to person on the

68
00:04:56,120 --> 00:05:00,040
the wider issue and the enabling
of the grooming gangs. 

69
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,000
So I think that's absolutely 
right. 

70
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:10,640
I think the danger with, and I'm
not, I don't actually mean to 

71
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:14,680
necessarily single out Tommy 
Robinson because he has become 

72
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:19,520
an icon in certain quarters and 
because he does receive much 

73
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,040
more publicity than anybody 
who's in effect sending the same

74
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:29,640
message. 
It is, it is very easy to see 

75
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:38,200
that every single, every single 
but, but the, the narrative that

76
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,200
he puts out, the things that he 
investigates or expose, expose 

77
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,880
or, or whatever terms these 
things are put in, always have 

78
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:51,880
the same conclusion, which is 
that the villain of the piece is

79
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:56,840
a Muslim. 
And that that is, that is 

80
00:05:56,840 --> 00:06:02,240
problematic when it's, when it 
overlaps with, let's say what's 

81
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,600
going on now, which is this 
campaign to do something that 

82
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,040
should be totally innocent. 
It's the, the operation raise 

83
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,440
the colours. 
So to put, to put flags 

84
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,080
everywhere. 
I mean, you know, you go to any 

85
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,360
European country and people 
absolutely are flying the 

86
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,480
national flag off their house. 
It's, it's completely normal. 

87
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,000
It should be totally normal, but
it's not. 

88
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,080
It's, it is absolutely being 
turned into a divisive issue and

89
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,360
it's, it just crosses that line 
from being proud to be British 

90
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:34,680
to proud to be British at the 
exclusion of whatever else it 

91
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:36,680
is. 
And it's just that the most 

92
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:39,880
obvious one at the moment, as as
evidenced by that. 

93
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,880
OK, admittedly only one video, 
but absolutely there are lots 

94
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:47,040
more out there of people tearing
down Palestinian flags in order 

95
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:51,720
to replace them with Saint 
George's crosses or Union flags.

96
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:56,480
And and I think my contention 
would be that Tommy Robinson's 

97
00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:04,120
work and the various causes that
he promotes and the engagements 

98
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:09,680
that he has in a sort of media 
context are aggravating or 

99
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,240
creating tensions where none 
really should exist. 

100
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:16,680
And I think that's the problem 
and I think people for for the 

101
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,280
absolutely vast majority of 
people who are perhaps 

102
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,520
considering that what's 
happening with flags and the 

103
00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,440
sort of, you know, people are, 
you know, feeling some sense 

104
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,240
sense of national pride and all 
the rest of it, absolutely fine.

105
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,840
But I think that there will be a
huge lack of awareness amongst 

106
00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:39,000
those sorts of people about the 
way in which they are in effect 

107
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:43,600
being manipulated, I think, and 
how how that campaign can very 

108
00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:47,840
easily be weaponized. 
And how again, the other video 

109
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:53,480
that showed those chaps who were
as well as painting St. 

110
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,720
George's crosses on the side of 
the house, then shouting at 

111
00:07:57,720 --> 00:07:59,840
people that they considered to 
be Muslim. 

112
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:02,880
I mean that, you know, 
seriously, who does that 

113
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,640
benefit? 
But it but it, I think it is 

114
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:09,320
easy to plot a line backwards 
from that to somebody like Tommy

115
00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:15,200
Robinson, simply because none of
the material that he covers has 

116
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,200
anybody else as the wrongdoer. 
And therefore it's very, very 

117
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:22,720
obvious. 
And this is the way that that 

118
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,600
sort of media works in terms of 
messaging. 

119
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:30,600
It is very obvious that not only
is every single 'cause that he 

120
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:35,840
brings out one that does down 
Islam as a faith and 

121
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,679
specifically people who are 
described as Muslims in the UK, 

122
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,760
but, but on the obverse, and 
this is exactly what David 

123
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,560
Miller was talking about, this, 
this is to the advantage of the 

124
00:08:45,560 --> 00:08:48,560
Israel lobby and and the Zionist
agenda. 

125
00:08:48,560 --> 00:08:50,440
And that is really, really 
dangerous. 

126
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,800
Funding and and that's why 
that's why that's the 

127
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,000
destination of everything that 
he does is because that is that 

128
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,560
is who is promoting exactly. 
No, but the question in the chat

129
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,840
box then was why was Tommy 
Robinson imprisoned and 

130
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,480
demonized? 
Look, we've got to get our heads

131
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,320
around how these gang counter 
gang operations work. 

132
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,840
If that man is standing up, 
funded by Zionism, pushing out a

133
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,480
particular type of message, and 
then the state puts him in 

134
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:23,040
prison for some of something 
that he has done, what's the 

135
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:25,160
reaction in among his 
supporters? 

136
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:27,800
But even in among the the 
broader population? 

137
00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:32,920
Why is the state putting people 
in prison who were who, who have

138
00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:37,800
been making comments on social 
media about on, on so-called 

139
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:39,680
right wing issues on immigration
or whatever? 

140
00:09:39,680 --> 00:09:41,800
Why are they putting those 
people in prison? 

141
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:48,200
Why they don't put people in 
prison for other on on other 

142
00:09:48,480 --> 00:09:55,080
left wing topics? 
Why did they have this two tier 

143
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,240
care policing 2 tier everything 
at the moment. 

144
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:05,640
It's designed to wind people up.
I would really urge everybody to

145
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:09,240
read Frank Kitson's book Gangs 
and Counter Gangs. 

146
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:16,880
He was in charge of the British 
military operation in Kenya, in 

147
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:20,680
Malaya, in Northern Ireland at 
the at the very beginning and so

148
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:23,120
on. 
He wrote several books on this 

149
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,560
type of thing. 
We need to sort of try to get to

150
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:32,400
get to grips with the types of 
psychological operations which 

151
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:36,320
are run by the state. 
And you know, this comes back 

152
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,240
once again, we'll say it once 
again comes back to the change 

153
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,480
in military doctrine in this 
country and in other countries. 

154
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:48,680
But in this country in recent 
years where, where this type of 

155
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:53,920
activity was something that we 
exported to other places to some

156
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,600
to a greater or lesser extent. 
It is a game that we have played

157
00:10:56,600 --> 00:10:59,080
domestically as well. 
But it is absolutely all the 

158
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:02,440
stops are off now. 
And the British government is 

159
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:08,160
absolutely using these tactics 
on its own population for 100 

160
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:11,120
different reasons. 
And, and if we don't understand 

161
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:14,840
the tactics, then we don't 
understand what's going on 

162
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:18,400
around us and we're going to 
fall into traps. 

163
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:20,680
Well, this is it. 
I mean, I, you know that, which 

164
00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:23,760
is why I sort of wound up by by 
saying it's, it's digital ID. 

165
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,120
You know, you create, you create
enough of this madness and 

166
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:27,320
people will kind of accept 
anything. 

167
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,880
Sandy, we've banged on and what 
what do you think about about? 

168
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,120
This no, it means it's too 
fascinating. 

169
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:34,720
I don't think it's banging on at
all. 

170
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,640
It's, it's interesting because 
we, there's, I just feel with 

171
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:44,080
this tinderbox point that, you 
know, it is really a tinderbox 

172
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,120
at the moment. 
And, and it's very difficult 

173
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,440
because yes, everyone is being 
played by the establishment and,

174
00:11:53,560 --> 00:11:57,200
and beyond. 
And I think, you know, it's 

175
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:02,000
about I, I would like to ask you
to, what would your message be 

176
00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,760
to people who are going to turn 
out on the 13th of September in 

177
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,600
London? 
What would your message be to 

178
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:12,280
them? 
Well, my message, but, well, 

179
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,960
where do we start with that? 
I mean, that's a big question, 

180
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,400
sadly, frankly. 
Sorry, sorry, it's just. 

181
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,600
That you know. 
You're saying, you know, I'm 

182
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,960
playing devil's advocate here 
because there are people who are

183
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:28,440
genuinely concerned about the, 
the you know, about what's 

184
00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,680
happening to their country, the 
destruction in every single way 

185
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,400
of their country. 
And and then they're being fed 

186
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,160
all this stuff. 
All the, you know, these 

187
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,080
migrants are staying in 
four-star hotels. 

188
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,560
Look at what they're eating. 
They're eating better than you 

189
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:42,400
at home. 
You're struggling to feed your 

190
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,840
children, but look at them. 
It's all you know. 

191
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:48,600
It is a big. 
Big and right there with that 

192
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,280
comment, you, you have 
absolutely hit the nail on the 

193
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,520
head that that is that is what's
being done to us all. 

194
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,200
So what? 
And people are going to turn 

195
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:03,240
out, I mean, I met 2 very, very 
normal, kind of ordinary women 

196
00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,640
the other day who stopped me and
they, they recognised me in the 

197
00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:08,600
street and they said you're 
Sandy, aren't you like, oh, are 

198
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,280
you going on the 13th of 
September? 

199
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,160
And I said no, not me. 
And, and it was really 

200
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:14,760
interesting. 
They said, oh, we're going. 

201
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:18,960
And they seemed so normal. 
And I said, well, you know, I, 

202
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:22,560
what do you say to them? 
Because are they being drawn 

203
00:13:22,560 --> 00:13:26,240
into some sort of the thing 
where they could be used and, 

204
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:29,160
and end up being arrested or I 
don't know. 

205
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:32,720
I mean they or their, their 
argument to me was, well, we 

206
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,560
went on the last time in 
Robinson March and it was well 

207
00:13:35,560 --> 00:13:38,160
organised and he was saying 
you've got to keep calm. 

208
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:41,280
You mustn't, you know, and what 
do you say to that? 

209
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,880
Because we all know what he's 
about and we know what Farage is

210
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:46,360
about. 
We know that everybody's being 

211
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,360
manipulated. 
So what do you say to them when 

212
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:50,880
they say we're going on that 
March? 

213
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:53,760
Yeah, but you say we know. 
Who knows? 

214
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:56,480
I might know. 
I might know the people in the 

215
00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,720
chat box. 
Might I did tell them I, I spoke

216
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,680
to them and I said, look, you 
know, this is, it's, it's really

217
00:14:02,680 --> 00:14:06,120
difficult because people do want
to fight for their for their 

218
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,480
country. 
They do want to be able to, to 

219
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,640
fly their flag. 
But is it at the, at the expense

220
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:14,960
of pulling down a Palestinian 
flag when you know what's going 

221
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,360
on there is horrendous? 
And it's the same hidden hand 

222
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,600
that's organising everything in 
that respect. 

223
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,720
And so I, I just feel that 
there's so much that people 

224
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,400
don't understand and it's, it's 
almost impossible. 

225
00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:34,360
I mean, we do our best here to 
explain it, but I think a lot of

226
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,400
people are, it's almost like a 
very emotive thing. 

227
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:41,480
And they are patriotic and they,
they don't like the destruction.

228
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:45,360
But this destruction is coming 
in, as I said, with Agenda 2030 

229
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,480
in every direction they're being
hit. 

230
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,440
And this is just a scapegoat. 
This is the way they vent their 

231
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:53,640
anger, and This is why we have 
to. 

232
00:14:53,640 --> 00:14:55,520
Be careful. 
But yes, absolutely. 

233
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,320
My, my worry is that that their 
anger is going to be vented in 

234
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,120
the wrong direction. 
And I'm not saying that the, 

235
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,720
the, the immigration issue is 
not an issue that needs to be 

236
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:10,400
resolved, but I don't, I think 
that we're very, very close to 

237
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:14,760
the point where that issue is 
going to be resolved violently. 

238
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:19,560
And no matter who's saying keep 
calm and carry on, that, that 

239
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,560
ain't how it's going to be 
because, because you're 

240
00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:23,920
absolutely right. 
People have been, are, are, have

241
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,080
been wind up to boiling point. 
Now that on the issue of the 

242
00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:31,360
flags, umm, Charles said that 
flying flags in other countries 

243
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:35,720
is normal. 
Uh, if you think about it, the, 

244
00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:39,640
the George Cross has been 
demonized in this country for 30

245
00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,680
years, 40 years, because it has 
been, it is, it is a flag which 

246
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:49,400
has been, uh, associated with, 
uh, the National Front or with 

247
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:55,120
the various other so-called. 
Football supporters. 

248
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,160
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Well, yeah. 

249
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,480
And the only time, but but who's
who, who made that, who 

250
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,880
demonized it in that way the 
mainstream press did. 

251
00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,280
And the only time that you were 
allowed to bring the the George 

252
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,360
Cross out was when England was 
playing in, in the World Cup or 

253
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,320
in the EUR or something, right? 
That was the only time you're 

254
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,040
allowed to bring it out. 
Otherwise it was a symbol of 

255
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:18,680
right right wing extremism, 
right? 

256
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,480
That should that should be given
people a clue. 

257
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:26,640
Yeah. 
Right on the issue of of so I'm 

258
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:29,280
not, I'm not for one second 
suggesting that the migrant 

259
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:35,760
issue should not be dealt with, 
but dealing with issues when, 

260
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:41,760
when feelings are high as they 
are at the moment, you're likely

261
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:43,240
to end up with the wrong 
outcome. 

262
00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,240
It's the same with, you know, 
the fact of the the fact of the 

263
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,200
matter is, Sandy, as you know, 
with devolution and so on, 

264
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,840
constitutionally this country is
screwed. 

265
00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:55,440
Our our governance is screwed in
this country. 

266
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,600
How do you deal with that? 
Well, obviously you've got to 

267
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,400
have a conversation about how we
intend to be governed in the 

268
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,040
future. 
But the danger with things at 

269
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:06,359
the moment is that actually 
there aren't very many people in

270
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:11,359
the country know enough about 
how governance works and how it 

271
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:15,400
should work that they won't be 
taken down the an even more 

272
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,760
extreme version of the 
devolution agenda that we're 

273
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:20,520
seeing at the moment and, and 
right into the arms of Agenda 

274
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,800
2030. 
That's very, very likely. 

275
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:28,400
I believe that the migrant issue
is aside from digital ID is on a

276
00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,400
more broader on a broader issue 
is absolutely going to bring us 

277
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:37,520
into the arms of Agenda 2030. 
It's also going to encourage us 

278
00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:42,360
to support further activities 
abroad. 

279
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:47,320
And so you know it, it's what do
you say to people. 

280
00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:52,600
There is no simple one line 
thing that you can say to 

281
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,080
people. 
It has to be a conversation. 

282
00:17:55,400 --> 00:18:00,720
And so that conversation, I 
think as David said, Charles's 

283
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:07,680
first segment today begins this 
conversation, this particular 

284
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,080
conversation today. 
And but it doesn't end today 

285
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:13,280
because it has to be something 
that we have over a longer 

286
00:18:13,280 --> 00:18:17,200
period of time. 
And and so I don't think there's

287
00:18:17,360 --> 00:18:19,200
a quick and easy answer to that 
question. 

288
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:24,160
No, it's difficult because when,
when when you look at the 

289
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,240
Olympics and I always remember, 
you know, weird though, it was 

290
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:31,520
the Olympic ceremony when it was
in London and they had, they had

291
00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,840
Glastonbury tour and they, 
everyone was sticking their 

292
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,320
flags in it. 
You know, everybody's proud to 

293
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:41,200
stick their flag into, you know,
they were proud to stick their 

294
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,800
flag in flag into the tour and 
say, you know, This Is Us, we're

295
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:47,040
from Denmark, we're from. 
And there there is that sense of

296
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,640
national pride, which I think is
actually quite healthy in lots 

297
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,280
of ways, so long as it doesn't 
become extreme. 

298
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:56,160
And and I don't think most 
people in this country are 

299
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:59,000
extremists. 
They're not they are concerned. 

300
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,360
But there is an element 
obviously of extreme racism 

301
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:05,720
going on. 
And as we saw in that, in that, 

302
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:09,800
I mean, you know, big sort of 
thuggy people, you know, really 

303
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:14,240
behaving very badly. 
And so, you know, whether 

304
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:18,440
whether that will will, will 
take hold, I, I'm not so sure it

305
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:21,560
will. 
I hope not, but I would hope 

306
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:26,320
that people are more measured 
and, and really understand. 

307
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:30,200
And if they do go to these 
marches, they, they actually 

308
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:34,440
keep their cool and you know, 
do, you know, don't, don't, 

309
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:37,240
don't get involved because what 
they want is civil war. 

310
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,240
And we, we can't descend down 
that way because. 

311
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,120
Then they can. 
You're not saying the the the 

312
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,960
people on the March want that, 
but the government wants that. 

313
00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,760
Yeah, the government want that 
exactly. 

314
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,800
Yeah. 
I mean, I mean, I think, I 

315
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,880
think, I regret to say, I think 
that's, uh, absolutely the case 

316
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,840
because, you know, if we think 
about the emergency cars that 

317
00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:02,720
were brought in as a result of 
COVID and those become much 

318
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:08,640
more, there's certainly much 
more scope for even more 

319
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:12,840
draconian limitations placed on 
people if you are on war 

320
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,280
footing.
