1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Britain, we go Roderi Kitt good morning, my frame, Good 2 00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: morning to you mate. I've been looking at pictures in 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,039 Speaker 1: East London. There seem to be protests about protests, so 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: the anti racist protesters are out after the racist protesters 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: have been out, So you've got a lot of protests 6 00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:13,159 Speaker 1: going on. 7 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,840 Speaker 2: Yes, it's a summer of protests. It's nice weather. The 8 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,160 Speaker 2: weather forecast actually is rained for the next few days, 9 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 2: so we might see the protests dying down a little bit. 10 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, we've had the full frontal attacks from the 11 00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 2: far right which have resulted in chaos in a few 12 00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:40,600 Speaker 2: places middles for a, Sunderland, Harleypool, Liverpool to a degree. 13 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,879 Speaker 2: And now we're seeing the other side of things. And 14 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: we're also seeing a kind of re energized Asian population 15 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: attacking white folk wherever they see them. So it's all 16 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: very cholly over here. 17 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 1: You ought to drop by, well said, it's funny you 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,280 Speaker 1: should say that we have an issued one yet, but 19 00:00:57,320 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: Australia hasn't. About four other countries there are sort of 20 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,840 Speaker 1: trail warnings going out about the UK. Would somebody like 21 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: key As Starmer be worried about the international reputation of Britain. 22 00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 2: At the moment he should be. His response to this 23 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: hasn't been great. It's been kind of knee jerked. This 24 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: is the far right, this is the far right, Well, 25 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 2: it's not quite. It's both more and less than that, 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 2: with not an awful lot of it is coming from 27 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,680 Speaker 2: football hooligans, but that nonetheless, underneath all that lies a 28 00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:32,480 Speaker 2: deep dissatisfaction in the disenfranchised towns of the Northeast and 29 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: Northwest that they haven't been listened to properly about issues 30 00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:39,440 Speaker 2: such as immigration, that their towns have changed in front 31 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,200 Speaker 2: of them, and that they've been cut out of the equation. 32 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: There seems to be no shrift whatsoever given to them 33 00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 2: by Sophia Starma and that has I think it's affected 34 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,840 Speaker 2: as opinion poll ratings, which are already well well well down. 35 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,080 Speaker 2: The Holleymoon is definitely over. 36 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: What is the sense of how the police are handling this. 37 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: Not too bad? There is a the allegation that's always 38 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 2: been made as this is two tier policing, that whilst 39 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: the police are quite heavy handed when it comes to 40 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 2: dealing with these particular protesters, they were nothing like as 41 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 2: bad when the pro Palestinian protesters were in London or 42 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: indeed the extinction rebellion protesters. That being said, the extinction 43 00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 2: rebellion protesters and the Palestinians didn't on the whole set 44 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 2: fire to cars and try to break down people's doors. 45 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,639 Speaker 2: So I think the robustness of the police isn't really 46 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: an issue at the moment. 47 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: Is the system able to cope because one of Labour's 48 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: policies was to more the new government's policies was to 49 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: lit people out of prison early because there were too 50 00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 1: many people in prison and they couldn't hold them anymore. 51 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: But I'm looking at looking at old Liam Ryan who 52 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: burst into tears and caught at age forty to day 53 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: to be seen away. If they seen all these people 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: away to jail the way they claim is a room 55 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: the jaw of seen all these people away. 56 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 2: Well, according to Starmer, he's freed up five hundred and 57 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 2: forty odd places in prisons for these people to go to, 58 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 2: and five hundred and forty should just about to deal 59 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: with this. So you look at Middlesbrough, which was one 60 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 2: of the worst riots, forty odd people arrested. My guesses 61 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 2: that of those you know, maybe five to ten will 62 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 2: get custodial sentences. So if he's right and he has 63 00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: freed up there, I don't know how he's done that, 64 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: by the way, but if he has freed up five 65 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 2: hundred and thirty five hundred and forty places, then he 66 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,240 Speaker 2: should be just about okay. 67 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: What about these so called keyboard warriors that the police 68 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: keep talking about, and you know, the old Tommy's who's 69 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: on holiday wherever he's on holiday, do they actually ever 70 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,560 Speaker 1: catch up with him or is that just just verbiage? 71 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: I think it's just verbuge. I mean, they're undoubtedly right that. 72 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,560 Speaker 2: You know, all of these rights have been organized through Facebook, 73 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: very straightforward. I've seen the clarion call which went out 74 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 2: in Middlesbrough, ill spelled full of emojis, come and fight 75 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: for Britain, Come and fight for Britain and all that 76 00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:15,720 Speaker 2: kind of stuff. So social media has been absolutely vically 77 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:21,320 Speaker 2: dissimilating the message of sedition out to the public. Tommy Robinson, yeah, 78 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,880 Speaker 2: he is still I think, selling himself on a beach 79 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:28,359 Speaker 2: in Cyprus, right. I don't know if he's planning to 80 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: come back. My guess is if he does come back, 81 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 2: he'll probably be arrested, though what for I'm not sure. 82 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: Okay, make a call Rod. As we've said here talking 83 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: to you on this Thursday morning, when we ring you 84 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: next week, is it over or we still got a problem. 85 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: I think over. I think over, But we still have 86 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: a problem underneath about the levels of immigration and the 87 00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: decent people. The person who said to me in Middlesbrough yesterday, 88 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 2: which was there's no sense in torturing cars, there's no 89 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 2: sense in beating up hard working immigrants who've come here 90 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: and devoted their lives to the community. But we've got 91 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: to talk about immigration and stop being called racist. 92 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 1: What we do, all right, Rob, appreciate it.
