It was brilliant. 8 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: It's just gorgeous sound little fishing village We've been going 9 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,360 Speaker 1: to for nearly twenty years and absolutely nothing much changes. 10 00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: I love it. Oh nice, that sounds awesome. Hey, I 11 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: see it was actually a reasonably successful night in terms 12 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:39,319 Speaker 1: of those rallies and riots. Yes, so the police are 13 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,160 Speaker 1: very very pleased this morning here across England because all 14 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:46,320 Speaker 1: of the talk yesterday had been of one hundred planned 15 00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: protests by the far right, and look we've seen all 16 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: the rioting of the last week or so and all 17 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:55,520 Speaker 1: of the arrests and the dreadful, appalling behavior, the racist 18 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: abuse of many many minority communities in the UK. People 19 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,640 Speaker 1: messaging me yesterday saying should I come to work where 20 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: a hit job is you know, just we've seen the 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: absolute worst of Britain in the last week and what 22 00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,520 Speaker 1: we saw last night I think was the best. People 23 00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: turned out and they turned out to counter protest. So 24 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: in all of these towns and cities where they felt 25 00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: that the far right we're going to turn up and 26 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: wreck places and burn businesses and hurt families, pens of 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:27,480 Speaker 1: thousands of people turned out. They lined the mosques, they 28 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:32,399 Speaker 1: stood outside asylum seeking centers, they stood outside immigration lawyers' offices, 29 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 1: and everything passed off peacefully. There were three arrests in 30 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: the town of Northampton last night for public disorder and 31 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,639 Speaker 1: that was pretty much is so. I think the police 32 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: will be hoping that that is now the end of 33 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 1: all of the awful rioting that we've seen. Do you 34 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: think it's going to change the government's approach, the government's 35 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: policies at all in terms of asylum seekers and migrants 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: and so on. No, not at all. I don't think 37 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,520 Speaker 1: anything is going to change. I think we've had four 38 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: weeks of clere starmer and I think in all honesty, 39 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: what people should be thanking their lucky stars right now 40 00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:07,160 Speaker 1: is that the UK has a prime minister who has 41 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,880 Speaker 1: a background in law and was the chief prosecutor here. 42 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: So there was a message that went out yesterday very 43 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: very clearly from the courts and the judges. Three of 44 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 1: the rioters from Southport got seven years jail between them 45 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 1: yesterday one guy got two and a half years for 46 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: punching a police officer. And you think back. You know, 47 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: in the last few governments, we've had a hedge fund 48 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: manager in Rischie Sunek, We've had Liz Truss, let's just 49 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: not even go there, Boris Johnson, a failed journalist. You've 50 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: actually got a guy now who's a serious man, who 51 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,680 Speaker 1: wants to work for the country and as a background 52 00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,799 Speaker 1: in prosecuting criminals. You know, this week could have been 53 00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: far worse had any of the other been in power. 54 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 1: But I don't think anything is going to change. And 55 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: I think, look, there is a conversation to be had 56 00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 1: about immigration, but abusing people who are out there working 57 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,799 Speaker 1: and paying tax I mean, it broke my heart yesterday 58 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,680 Speaker 1: to see people posting messages on social media, doctors and 59 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: nurses saying we're thinking about leaving this country and why 60 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: because they've had racist abuse off the scale. And this 61 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: is I'm just going to say it. Heather this has 62 00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: been people have been empowered to speak in such racist 63 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,400 Speaker 1: fashion because of some of the poor leadership and really 64 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 1: poor politicians and journalists who've been peddling an awful lot 65 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: of this racism in the last decade. Interesting. Heyinda, thank you, 66 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 1: it's really nice to have you back. I've actually missed 67 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: having you on here.
