1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:02,840 Speaker 1: Riding high to the UK. We go, Roderick, very good 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,000 Speaker 1: morning to you, my frame, Come on in, Mike errold Mike, Tommy, 3 00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:06,680 Speaker 1: what have they got him? 4 00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: Full this time GBH or alleged GBH assault. What happened 5 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,159 Speaker 2: was that this I dare say if your audience is 6 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,959 Speaker 2: familiar with the name Tommy Robinson by now, given that 7 00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:25,159 Speaker 2: he's the kind of right wing icon of protest and 8 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: activism and very very much disdained by everybody else. He 9 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: was actually seen on a coast circuit television walking away 10 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:40,920 Speaker 2: from a man who'd clearly been hit. The question is 11 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 2: whether Tommy Robinson hit him. He flew straight off to 12 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,600 Speaker 2: Portugal and the police arrested him on his way back 13 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: from Pharaoh. It'll be interesting to see if he gets 14 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 2: a fair trial, because hitherto he hasn't been given a 15 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: fair trial. Now you might argue enough is an awful man, 16 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 2: but the way he's been treated by the law courts 17 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 2: in the past has inflamed the views of the far right, 18 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,440 Speaker 2: and they feel they've got a point. You know that 19 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 2: there is a conspiracy against them. Always treat these people 20 00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: the way you treat anyone else. 21 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 1: All right, now, farage so he wants the immigration status 22 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: of people who are arrested. I'm watching yet again, Rod, 23 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: another summer of I if honestly, if I was in government, 24 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: would I promise to stop the boats? Knowing surely in 25 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: my heart of hearts, I didn't stand a hopenhill. 26 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: Well, yeah you might if you actually did it. I 27 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 2: think Germany has cut its it's refugee asylum seekers numbers 28 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 2: by fifty percent. America has cut its asylum seeker numbers, 29 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 2: you know, people coming over from Mexico, primarily by some 30 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 2: way the region of eighty percent. It can be done, 31 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: but it needs it needs to take of action and 32 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 2: severity which the Labor government, and in fairness before it 33 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,480 Speaker 2: the Conservative government simply wasn't prepared to adopt. You can 34 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: do it. I think you know. One answer was the ruanderance, 35 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,079 Speaker 2: which is to send all the asylum seekers to Ruanda. 36 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 2: What should certainly be done, and has never been done, 37 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 2: is to say to all of them, if you attempt 38 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: to enter this country, illege to me ut facto will 39 00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 2: not be given asylum. And that seems to me to 40 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: be the most sensible route out of all of this. 41 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 2: It would be a deterrent, but anyway for ours wants 42 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: Faras wants police to release the immigration status of the 43 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 2: criminals who are arrested for serious crimes. And this is 44 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 2: based around one in Warwickshire in which it's suspected that 45 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 2: the people who sexually assaulted a twelve year old girl 46 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:57,679 Speaker 2: were Afghans Flores. 47 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,079 Speaker 1: Has it been through going through as we speak? He 48 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: gets it? 49 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 2: Am all right. 50 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 1: It seems to be the north of Scotland. 51 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 2: It's where I am. That's why I mention it. You see, 52 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,679 Speaker 2: if you were talking to some bloke in London, he 53 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 2: wouldn't even know the florists existed. But up here, I'm 54 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 2: telling you the trees are down. You can't get out 55 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: your drive because of all the debris. But no one 56 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,400 Speaker 2: south of what will notice for a second. 57 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: And what's it like in the middle of summer with 58 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: a storm? What have you got? Warm temperatures but big wind. 59 00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's exactly it. Warm temperatures, big with occasional very 60 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 2: dusty showers. But it has been seasonably warm. It's been 61 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 2: nice weather here. We're having a good summer. But these 62 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: storms come and you know August in Fairness is known 63 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: for storms that I dare say the BBC will be 64 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: telling us it's all climate change. But I remember being 65 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 2: August storms back when I was a. 66 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 1: Kid exactly, Hey, listen, just while I've got you and 67 00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 1: quickly this I find hard to believe. So the government 68 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: will restrict civil service internships to students from poorer families 69 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: and they want to make Whitehall more working class. This 70 00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: is driven by somebody called mcfed and pet Chancellor of 71 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 1: the Duchy of Lancaster. And you are judged by what 72 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 1: your parents were earning and doing when you were fourteen. 73 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: How mental is this? 74 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:29,039 Speaker 2: Well, well, okay, let me be devil's advocate for a second. 75 00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: It is unquestionably the takes that the civil service is 76 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 2: of a simle view politically into monoculture, and they are 77 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: largely they are almost entirely middle class people who've been 78 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:49,120 Speaker 2: to Oxford got a PPE and a very pro remain 79 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: in the EU, very pro assylum secrets, etcetera, etcetera. So 80 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,200 Speaker 2: they're out of step with the majority of opinion. And 81 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 2: I don't know that this is Labour's way of doing 82 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,280 Speaker 2: Some think about it. It wants to enfranchise the working 83 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,839 Speaker 2: class a bit poor, but I don't know how you 84 00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 2: can accurately tell who's working classes who isn't And I 85 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 2: suspect that this will simply be a brief spurt of 86 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: de Yeah, I suspect it's just a quick burst of 87 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 2: that and then we'll hear no more about it. It 88 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: seems to me an absurdity. 89 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: Right, Rod go, Well, we'll see you Thursday, roder Little 90 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: and Britain. By the way, other matters, they plan to 91 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: evacuate more seriously ill children injured in Gaza. It's unclear 92 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 1: how many. They'll allow up to three hundred to enter 93 00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: the UK to receive free medical care. Some have been 94 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: brought in privately so far, but the government's going to 95 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: get involved via metrics next time. In your europe entry 96 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,400 Speaker 1: exit system, the ees will replace the current paper chicks, 97 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: which means they're going to go biometrics in the European Union. 98 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: And the population just for funzis England and Wales population's 99 00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: gone up up one point two percent. They've gained seven 100 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 1: hundre six thousand, eight hundred and eighty one people. The 101 00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 1: population now officially sits at sixty one million, eight hundred thousand. 102 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,279 Speaker 1: For more from the Mic Asking Breakfast, listen live to 103 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,479 Speaker 1: news Talks at b from six am weekdays, or follow 104 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 1: the podcast on iHeartRadio
