he was raising a pillow as high as he could and throwing that little with all his little girl with all of his might repeatedly on the floor. i've got goosebumps tell i've got goosebumps when i tell you you absolute scumbag . you that, you absolute scumbag. you can see this person on the screen content with that . screen not content with that. there's chemical attack screen not content with that. th

the newcastle area, and i say that with a with a hint of sarcasm because it has now been confirmed to us by government sources that actually , uh, he sources that actually, uh, he has been given asylum in the uk. ineed has been given asylum in the uk. i need to be clear about this. as we understand it, he failed twice in previous asylum applications, but he was then ultimately sukh peaceful. i'm sorry, but i think this is an absolute disgrace . and i'm going absolute disgrace. and i'm going to say a sentence now that i know will probably get me into trouble, but if you insist in this country on importing essentially the third world when third world things happen like this on the streets of britain, how anyone dodi be surprised how can anyone dodi be surprised 7 how can anyone dodi be surprised ? it is an absolute disgrace. i'm furious about this story today. anyway, matt goodwin, your thoughts ? your thoughts? >> i found it really difficult to listen to the description of this hideous crime . um, i have a this hideous crime. um, i have a two year old daughter. i just cannot imagine what this family is going through . it's as simple is going through. it's as simple as this for me. michelle, i

think if you're a foreign national and you're committing crimes, you should be removed from the country and 75% of british people agree with that . british people agree with that. i've polled them on that. this quy's i've polled them on that. this guy's clearly a nasty piece of work. i hope the police have caught him by the end of today. and if it was up to if it was up to me looking at foreign nationals who commit these hideous crimes, they'd be removed from the country altogether. many altogether. and i think many people at people are going to be sat at home watching story, home watching this story, listening story and listening to this story and thinking, hey, you know, thinking, well, hey, you know, we hear all time diversity we hear all the time diversity is strength. look at the is our strength. look at the wonders all of the things wonders of all of the things like multiculturalism and so forth. that's forth. clearly, that's that's that's this time around. >> um, aaron, your thoughts. around. >> yeah,iaron, your thoughts. around. >> yeah,iar0|a your thoughts. around. >> yeah, iar0| a really houghts. around. >> yeah,iar0|a really just hts. around. >> yeah,iar0|a really just a s. >> yeah, it's a really just a appalling thing to hear. and like you say, when you were describing it, i just can't imagine anything worse. one question for though, which question for me, though, which is question to is an interesting question to sort of follow up from matt saying, what's the appropriate solution with this man? should he incarcerated should he be incarcerated or should he be because obviously be deported? because obviously this is a horrific crime and it's almost letting him off the

hookif it's almost letting him off the hook if he's deported because he's not having to then face justice, he come justice, he could come back equally, he's incarcerated, equally, if he's incarcerated, the taxpayers spending money, um, just in a side. but the taxpayers spending money, um, just in a side . but this is um, just in a side. but this is appalling. he obviously shouldn't be in the country. he i say with regards to what i would say with regards to what matthew said, in terms of matthew said, um, in terms of committing crimes, serious crimes, obviously, if crimes, i agree, obviously, if it's offence or it's a driving offence or something, i don't think we should serious should be too ott, but a serious a serious offence . i agree i a serious offence. i agree and i think questions have to be asked as to how somebody with this kind character has been able kind of character has been able to get right to remain or to get the right to remain or british citizenship , i don't british citizenship, i don't know. a very serious know. that's a very serious question to ask. and importing the world, mean, it the third world, i mean, it sounds emotive. i would say sounds emotive. what i would say is are often very is these are often very traumatised, brutalised and brutal people from . places that brutal people from. places that we cannot comprehend in this country . we and like you say, country. we and like you say, that's going to have a serious self consequences. i don't really care if sounds really care if it sounds amazing. no, no, but that's amazing. no, no, no, but that's what i care more about. >> sure. get wrong. >> sure. get me wrong. >> sure. get me wrong. >> that's what we're that's that's of though,

that's the reality of it though, right? we've got very right? i know we've got very brutal people in this country. >> trying make out >> i am not trying to make out that every british citizen in this role model. this land is a role model. i don't think that's i know you, i know you definitely got our own wrong'uns. thank you very much. which the more reason which is all the more reason then should doing our then why we should be doing our absolute our absolute absolute damnedest, our absolute best be trying import best not to be trying to import anybody when anybody else. because when people around, uh, people are in and around, uh, warzones, in around warzones, they're in and around environments where, you know, standards kind advanced standards, the kind of advanced society that we have, the kind of advanced culture that we have. you pick someone have. when you then pick someone up from a completely up that's from a completely different world. i agree, without those normal standards, i mean, that is not how you you don't wander around. lord watching three year olds onto the floor. no, i and throwing chemicals at them. not even these. >> what i would say is some somebody like that, these are somebody like that, these are some of the most psychologically damaged people imaginable. i'm not pity them. not saying that to pity them. it's just a fact. there was another example relatively recently, ago, of recently, about a year ago, of an national stabbing an afghan national stabbing somebody bournemouth somebody in bournemouth, where i'm a i'm from, in the neck on a friday night they fell

friday night because they fell oven friday night because they fell over, over an fell out over an e—scooter. you know, that again is but if is incomprehensible. but if you've country you've been raised in a country where war, violence . where decades of war, violence. uh, horrific things like you say, huge problems, therefore war can occur when tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of people from that environment. just a fact, find themselves side by side with everyday brits. >> what i'd like to see is a conversation shift from observation how respond observation to how do we respond to i think if you ask to it. and i think if you ask ordinary brits out there and they ask them about these they you ask them about these cases. michel, say, this cases. michel, as i say, this isn't just a 52% issue. the vast majority you're majority are saying if you're a foreign national and you're committing crimes, we've committing serious crimes, we've got foreign got about 10,000 foreign nationals prisons at the nationals in uk prisons at the moment. uh, you should be deported. should be removed deported. you should be removed from and not from the country and it's not just this case. people have seen the increasing number of cases online, police officers being attacked, collapse attacked, the complete collapse of morality , of standards in in of morality, of standards in in particularly in areas like london. >> and does that not let this monster off the hook if he's

deported or not punished? >> i, i, i would hazard a guess. well i know this for a fact because i poll people every week that the vast majority of british people would say, you know what? we're not going to have guy sitting in a have this guy sitting in a prison a taxpayer's expense. prison at a taxpayer's expense. let's him out of the let's just get him out of the country. that as country. let's do that as quickly possible. uh i think quickly as possible. uh i think that's a reasonable way forward. and i would take issue with, well, these are brutal people who have been experienced by conflicts. actually, i bet what we're going discover this we're going to discover is this guy or form, felt guy in some shape or form, felt that he was shamed or he was embarrassed behaviour of , embarrassed by the behaviour of, i presume, a relative or, and he's taken it out on his daughter. we've had a number of these cases in recent years. >> i have just say as well >> i do have to just say as well that there are images that >> i do have to just say as well tiperhaps are images that >> i do have to just say as well tiperhaps will images that >> i do have to just say as well tiperhaps will put images that >> i do have to just say as well tiperhaps will put on �*nages that >> i do have to just say as well tiperhaps will put on the es that >> i do have to just say as well tiperhaps will put on the onthat >> i do have to just say as well tiperhaps will put on the on the i perhaps will put on the on the screen in a second that some of you may find disturbing. and i have to say that this is the suspect. you can see, if suspect. he, as you can see, if you're listening, not watching, he's apparently quite he's apparently got quite a damaged , uh, right side of his damaged, uh, right side of his face. his good. sorry. i know

that's not the way that i am supposed to speak, but you know what? i hope that he is suffering. and i hope that he is in pain. and i hope the next time i see this picture. uh, it has a strap underneath it that's telling he been telling me that he has been caught. but just to be clear, this the screen, this this person on the screen, this is that is suspected of is the man that is suspected of doing those appalling things that at the start that i mentioned at the start of the program, slamming, the program, body slamming, essentially , a three year old essentially, a three year old little girl yanking her out of a car, throwing her onto the floor over and over , throwing over and over, throwing chemicals at the little children. the mom , and then children. the mom, and then attempting to hit the mum, uh, with a car and running off. it was ours. ladies and gentlemen , was ours. ladies and gentlemen, before we even had a description of this person. yet the police were appealing to the public. if you've seen anything, here is the number they were then doing. subsequent appeals saying that. have you got any dash cam footage? um, have you got any doorbell footage? well, i happen to know that area incredibly well. and at the end of that

road, essentially where this incident place, there is a incident took place, there is a big, massive green park called clapham now there are clapham common. now there are god knows how many people running repeatedly in and around that area. that's what people do . they jog, they run. it's a very, very, area . how very, very, very busy area. how can you appeal for people to share with you footage if you do not even know what it is that you are looking for? if you ask me, i'm sorry i think there is an element of political correctness at play because i bet my bottom dollar if that was a white fella, we'd know about that instantly . am that almost instantly. am i being harsh? >> well, we never know what goes on police investigations. on with police investigations. they have had a lead, uh, they may have had a lead, uh, concern earning individual. concern earning that individual. they been concerned they may have been concerned about relatives about perhaps other relatives being harmed or whatever. so we don't know ins and the outs, don't know the ins and the outs, but think that what we do but i do think that what we do now, response to cases now, in response to these cases is british people are is what the british people are going be looking for, and going to be looking for, and they're to be looking for going to be looking for, and tivery�* to be looking for going to be looking for, and tivery hard, to be looking for going to be looking for, and tivery hard, quicka looking for going to be looking for, and tivery hard, quick response,for a very hard, quick response, something that unfortunately we've number of we've not seen in a number of other cases. >> so question that i put,

>> so that question that i put, um, we've just pondered, i um, that we've just pondered, i think it is a very interesting one because once this one because of course, once this fellow is caught, of course there need to legal there will need to be a legal trial, etc, and, um, you trial, etc, etc, and, um, you know, if then this person or someone like him, let's just broaden it out. >> let's not make it specific to him. but if someone is found guilty of crimes like this, what is then the appropriate treatment and response? it treatment and response? is it deportation aaron's point? deportation to aaron's point? does that just let them off the hook? you're and see you hook? you're off and see you later uh, incarceration later. uh, is it incarceration in this country? is that what we should be doing taxpayers should be doing at taxpayers expense, for this guy to expense, paying for this guy to essentially live his life for, however many years in a prison ? however many years in a prison? what's your thoughts on that one? sorry remind me. deportation or incarceration? >> what do i think foreign nationals who commit serious crimes should be deported . they crimes should be deported. they should be removed from the country, think, and also, if country, i think, and also, if you look what's you look at what's happening elsewhere europe, say elsewhere in, in, in europe, say germany the germany is an example, the number deportations is now number of deportations is now going up. if you look at what's been happening recent been happening in recent weeks, and a people in and i think a lot of people in europe, in france , two, by the

europe, in france, two, by the way, where had a number way, where they've had a number of islamist terrorist of serious islamist terrorist atrocities against atrocities committed against teachers public teachers and against public officials, now officials, i think people now have enough . and i think have had enough. and i think people are beginning to look around you know what? around and think, you know what? actually start actually it's time to start pressuring politicians be pressuring our politicians to be doing, something on this. i doing, uh, something on this. i know we're going come on to know we're going to come on to talk the of talk about the case of politicians security and the politicians and security and the growing threat islamist growing threat of islamist terror. um, but here again, we're know, the we're looking at, you know, the way we're importing way in which we're importing cultural beliefs that cultural practices, beliefs that that really are fundamentally at odds with the british way of life. that's the key point. everybody who knows acid attacks knows what what this is about. right they know fundamentally this will be about some sort of honour issue that this guy will have most likely . and i'm have most likely. and i'm speculating, but probably will have felt that his honour was was was , was, was shamed in some was was, was, was shamed in some way. is not part of our way. this is not part of our culture. this is not part of our way of life. in the way that it is within within some religions. and increasing people and i think increasing people are to up and demand are going to wake up and demand are going to wake up and demand a stronger response to these

cases. cgses. >> ? know what you speak >> do you know what you speak about, response about, stronger response to these about, stronger response to the i; about, stronger response to thei cannot help but feel, you >> i cannot help but feel, you know what probably upset a few know what i probably upset a few people already. it's only 6:20. i well carry on. but i might as well carry on. but when i see cases like this , i when i see cases like this, i can't help it. i do. i think to myself, if you're found guilty, if these kind things, the if these kind of things, the death penalty, help me understand is not an understand why that is not an appropriate response. >> you know what? >> well, you know what? instinctively feel the same instinctively i feel the same thing instinctively. but instinctively i feel the same thin reasonictively. but instinctively i feel the same thin reason whyzly. but instinctively i feel the same thin reason why iy. but instinctively i feel the same thinreason why i don't but instinctively i feel the same thinreason why i don't support the reason why i don't support the reason why i don't support the is the death penalty is miscarriages justice in miscarriages of justice in a case like this, that's not going to that's to happen. clearly but that's why support the death why i don't support the death penalty. but look, here's a question for watching, question for people watching, listening. if you lost a relative and they were murdered, what you want? somebody what would you want? somebody deported would want them to deported? would you want them to stay be punished? stay here and be punished? i would like been let would feel like they'd been let off were deported off if they were deported personally. get personally. but i totally get what matthew saying. >> do you know what? i'm just. i'm angry. you can probably i'm very angry. you can probably tell. angry tell. i'm just so angry about this. government has this. our government has a primary responsibility to protect every single protect each and every single one. of us, as british one. one of us, as british citizens in this country. one. one of us, as british citizens in this country . and i citizens in this country. and i am not saying, i shall repeat

myself. i am not suggesting that every single british citizen is an upstanding member of community. i'm not suggesting that i know we have our own wrong'uns, but when you are bringing people in from essentially war zones or wherever it is, you have an absolute responsibility to make sure that these people are safe to be in this country and to make sure that citizens in this country are equally safe to be around these people . this is around these people. this is government failure , isn't it? government failure, isn't it? get in touch and tell me your thoughts. and speaking of government failure, how on earth are we in a situation in this country where we have a long standing public servant who has now announced that he is not going to be running for election again? why well, you probably guessed it, didn't you ? death guessed it, didn't you? death threats from who? well you probably guessed this one as well. radical islamist fundamentalist . what on earth is fundamentalist. what on earth is going on? tell me and i'll see

you're listening to gb news radio show .

radio show. >> hello there. i'm michelle dewberry and i'm with you till 7:00 tonight alongside me. fabulous panel. no offence to any of my other panellists. if you're watching, i love you all. but this one in particular, i do have a soft spot for them. the professor of politics at the university of kent, matt goodwin, and the co—founder of novara bastani. novara media, aaron bastani. we've started the program we've just started the program talking the absolute talking about the absolute horrendous in. it's horrendous situation in. it's really angered me. and no, it's angered a lot of you guys at home. what kind of society are we turning into when on the streets of britain, you have people wandering around snatching , people wandering around snatching, and i do apologise if you've got sensitive ears because this is a horrendous story. so i don't to cause story. so i don't want to cause any i must say. but any distress. i must say. but the case is the case as it stands, three year old child snatched out of a car repeatedly , lifted up, smashed repeatedly onto the ground. chemical attacks, then a car driven into

the mother of these children. and can i just say, because as often, we often have a conversation about people not getting involved, bystanders not involving themselves. i do have to say credit to everybody who got involved in this situation, because variety of members of pubuc because variety of members of public got involved and helped the police , of course, did the police, of course, did a great job. lots of people that helped out were actually hurt as well by whatever this chemical was. and got to say my was. and i've got to say my thoughts. i know your thoughts at home, i'm sure are with this family, and i hope and pray that all of them are actually come out of this with no long lasting injuries . government sources, as injuries. government sources, as i've said to you, have told us that this person in the alleged perpetrator apparently has been granted asylum in this country, having had two previous pass fail attempts. uh, i, i'm really, really hoping that that is confirmed by the actual government asap. it's those sources that have told us that thatis sources that have told us that that is the case, that angers

me, ladies and gents. and i'm sure you will have many similar sentiments too. i was asking you , well, what do we do about this situation then? you guys situation then? uh, you guys have in touch your have been in touch in your droves about this one. um, many of you are saying that if found guilty crimes like this. guilty of crimes like this. well, prison and then deportation afterwards . so deportation afterwards. so a blend of the two, um, that that ihave blend of the two, um, that that i have to say, that does seem to be the primary response . um, be the primary response. um, barbara says just deport us. but then what about to aaron's point there? does that just let them off? they are i don't know, you know what as well, i wonder whether or not there is because there's so many cultural differences on here. differences going on here. and i just wonder whether not just wonder whether or not there's this whole notion that for in certain for certain people in certain communities, not a communities, women are not on a par with men. do you do you think there's a of that? think there's a sense of that? i do anyway, look, another story that my today . i've that caught my eye today. i've got say, uh, it's caught the got to say, uh, it's caught the eye few of you guys at eye of a few of you guys at home, which i appreciate. the mp for golders green, for finchley and golders green, mike freer. he has said that

a little bit of self—censorship before get into trouble? before i do get into trouble? uh, goodwin, you uh, matt goodwin, where are you on issue, 2024. and we've on this issue, 2024. and we've got a situation, uh, where a long standing public servant who's mp as well for who's been an mp as well for many years now not going to many years is now not going to run again. he's going to leave pubuc run again. he's going to leave public office essentially because threats life. because of threats to his life. it's completely disgraceful. >> this story should be on the front page every major front page of every major national and the national newspaper. and the prime should be issuing prime minister should be issuing a statement. is a robust statement. it is unacceptable that our elected politicians are fearing for their lives, fearing , uh, of their lives, fearing, uh, of radical islamists. their lives, fearing, uh, of radical islamists . let's be radical islamists. let's be clear. let's call this what it is radical islamism. the same thing that resulted in the murder of david ames. the same thing that tried to murder stephen timms. thing that tried to murder stephen timms . we have got a stephen timms. we have got a serious threat in this country that we need to be talking much more openly about. and, you know, if you look at the recent review of terrorist activity in the uk, the shawcross review, it was very clear, you know, william shawcross looked at this and he said, we have got to get

real about the threat from radical islamism within this society. it isn't a 5050 threat yet . yes. there was a case of jo yet. yes. there was a case of jo cox and there was the tragic case of jo cox and the far right extremist william shawcross makes the point that actually , makes the point that actually, about 80% now, of all open case investigations by the police involving terrorism concerned radical islamism and of the, uh, i think of 13, uh , serious cases i think of 13, uh, serious cases of violence and murder. he looked at about seven, ten of those had been on the radar of the security services. i think this is a scandal. i think we've become normalised into basically accepting an ongoing threat from radical islamism. and we should not be accepting this. we should be standing up and saying, this is not on. we're not having our elected politicians being harassed and pushed out of office in this way. >> aaron. >> aaron. >> well, quickly, on william shawcross. i mean, he's one of these people who's a commissioner, and i would scrap

lots of commissioners and quangos because we waste lots of money on if somebody has a money on them. if somebody has a strong going to strong view, which is going to influence government policy on people's the safety influence government policy on pe politicians the safety influence government policy on pe politicians , the safety influence government policy on pe politicians , there the safety influence government policy on pe politicians , there shouldety of politicians, there should be a officer, there should a police officer, there should be servant or a be a civil servant or a politician, not some commissioner. park that a commissioner. so park that for a moment. well as moment. i would say, as well as everything what matt just everything to what matt just said you said there, the technology, you know, last 15 years, you know, in the last 15 years, you can access people's voting records where are, where records where they are, where their surgeries are, their wikipedia no wikipedia profiles. it's no coincidence that period, coincidence that in that period, we've had multiple mps we've also had multiple mps being so i think a lot's being killed. so i think a lot's changed technologically , changed technologically, culturally, and yet at the same time, we've not really given these people the safety these people the sort of safety and security deserve . and security they deserve. >> next at 7:00, of >> well, up next at 7:00, of course, you'll know by now nigel farage, been listening farage, he's just been listening in, little bit of that. in, uh, to a little bit of that. nigel, evening to you. what nigel, good evening to you. what do make to it all? do you make to it all? >> good evening. well, i mean, i know threats, violence know all about threats, violence and the need for security because i had to live like that, michel, for many, many years. >> but i think what the mike freer case really says us freer case really says to us writ large is we've now got political ,

writ large is we've now got political, religious sectarianism in the country. we've never had it in the mainland uk before either. and as a result of it, i really believe that our members of parliament need security and need protection . and that's the need protection. and that's the argument i'm going to make at 7:00 tonight. yes i know it'll cost taxpayers money, but if we finish up , if we finish up with finish up, if we finish up with mps to scared to say what they think , our democracy would be think, our democracy would be a big loser . big loser. >> yeah, i think you're absolutely right. i look forward to that, nigel. that's nigel. he will be getting into that and more, i'm sure at 7:00 tonight, you see, what i found interesting today is people's responses, um, to mike fryer's resignation letter. so you had people like suella braverman varne. she basically says this is a serious indictment of where we are in society. i found robert jenrick. uh, his response quite interesting. uh, ladies and gents, because he basically tweeted out and he linked back to an article that he'd written

when david amess was killed. and what he reflects on is that there was this whole notion that even though people knew that this was linked to radical, uh, islamist extremism , there was islamist extremism, there was this whole notion that actually within politics, instead of talking about that stuff , they talking about that stuff, they were actually talking about how do be nicer to each other on do we be nicer to each other on social media, etc. etc. what then , um, talk about then struck me, um, talk about history repeating itself . is history repeating itself. is lindsay hoyle. so, um , uh, he lindsay hoyle. so, um, uh, he has come out today speaking about this subject , saying he's about this subject, saying he's urged mps to turn down the heat. people reflect how we treat each other, and that's why i want us to have a nicer politics within the house. uh, now, i don't mean to be funny, uh, sir lindsay hoyle, or to stay at the bleeding obvious or anything, but , people, this bleeding obvious or anything, but, people, this mp has not been getting death threats. um, there's an alleged arson attack. i can't get into the specifics of that because it's an ongoing court case. the stuff that's been levied at this guy is not because question time because mps during question time are being a bit feisty and

called each mr whippy or called each other mr whippy or whatever was that they were whatever it was that they were launching at each other. why is this try and this desperate attack to try and divert course instead of focusing on what it actually is? matthew >> because firstly, some people are scared. they don't want to call this what it is, which is the from radical islamist the threat from radical islamist terrorism . um, and also, i think terrorism. um, and also, i think some people are sort of part of this alliance now that i would call an alliance between a sort of soft left and radical islamism. and we've seen this through some of the protests recently, the advance of radical islamist terror and violence within our society is being enabled by a radical left, which is encouraging us all to basically be look down on israel, consider ourselves as oppressors , um, elevate oppressors, um, elevate minorities and give radical islamism a free pass. we should call this what it is like after the manchester evening news bombing. uh, like after the teacher that i think is still in hiding from birmingham. um, like

after the attacks on school children in kent and other counties by asylum seekers, dark , depressing sexual attacks , we , depressing sexual attacks, we should be able to call this what it is. you know, this is a growing threat from radical islamists. we need a serious response to it. we need to stop cowering in the aftermath , and cowering in the aftermath, and we stop making these we need to stop making these ridiculous what's ridiculous excuses as to what's going are radical going on. these are radical islamists. trying islamists. they're trying to disrupt overturn our disrupt and overturn our civilisation. let's call it what it is. >> and what happens, aaron, as well, is because most people can actually see this for what it is. they're not stupid . so then is. they're not stupid. so then when the political class start doing things like , oh yeah, turn doing things like, oh yeah, turn down the heat , uh, people down the heat, uh, people reflect on how we treat each other. that's why i want us to have a nicer politics within the house. by house. i don't dispute that, by the way. yeah, let's all be nicer to each high nicer to each other. high five to that. but what that has got nicer to each other. high five to do it. but what that has got nicer to each other. high five to do with|t what that has got nicer to each other. high five to do with thisiat that has got nicer to each other. high five to do with this is that has got nicer to each other. high five to do with this is a1at has got nicer to each other. high five to do with this is a nonsense. and people at home, they know that. and then it just creates disconnection the political disconnection with the political class. we there and disconnection with the political cla wonder we there and disconnection with the political cla wonder things there and disconnection with the political cla wonder things likezre and we wonder on things like elections, why is our turnout so low? >> think that's right. what

>> so i think that's right. what i would though, michel, i would say is though, michel, i actually the whole nice actually think the whole be nice thing daft . i think it's thing is, is daft. i think it's stupid. i think something that gb right, that you get gb news gets right, that you get right is that should be right is that people should be able to have opinions, strong opinions, them, discuss opinions, debate them, discuss them, then you reach them, and then you reach a really, you know, sensible position. really, you know, sensible posi another. and that's one another. and that's precisely what the political class in this country is afraid of. thing. of. the whole be nice thing. i think actually is part and parcel with the whole union party we weren't really party thing. we weren't really discuss facing discuss the problems facing society. offer society. we weren't really offer solutions. we'll take solutions. we'll just take 80, 90 a and we'll go to 90 grand a year and we'll go to our one dinner parties and our zone one dinner parties and we'll basically the same we'll basically do the same thing done for 30 thing we've done for the last 30 years. so whole be nice, be years. so the whole be nice, be kind thing. very wary of. kind thing. i'm very wary of. um, and also like you say, it's just inappropriate just completely inappropriate here talk about here when you talk about substantive proposals, security, law enforcement at the police in this country have no resource to do anything. we keep asking do anything. we keep on asking them to do more and more and more and they get less more and more, and they get less and resources. and let's be and less resources. and let's be real, we have people in media saying need to the saying we need to police the persian arabian sea. saying we need to police the per�*need arabian sea. saying we need to police the per�*need to arabian sea. saying we need to police the per�*need to police irabian sea. saying we need to police the per�*need to police globalsea. we need to police global shipping lanes. with

shipping lanes. start with my local high street, yes, local high street, please. yes, because police aren't there. so. >> but you you must know and accept that we could have the best policing in the world, the best policing in the world, the best funded policing in the world. unless we deal with the underlying drivers of what's going large scale going on, which is large scale migration and a broken of migration and a broken model of multiculturalism, migration and a broken model of multicultdealsm, migration and a broken model of multicultdeal with issues going to deal with these issues over longer terme. these over the longer terme. these issues are only going to grow. in fact, i wrote this week, britain to the britain is going to see the biggest of european biggest increase of all european nafions biggest increase of all european nations number of muslims nations in the number of muslims between and 2030. we know between now and 2030. we know we've levels of we've got high levels of segregation large parts of segregation in large parts of the but time the country, but every time somebody whispers , we might somebody whispers, we might have a problem multiculturalism . a problem with multiculturalism. um, commentariat shut that um, the commentariat shut that debate to say, debate down. i'd love to say, well, on a minute. well, hang on a minute. diversity is our strength. if diversity strength, why diversity is our strength, why are leaving public are politicians leaving public office? because scared office? because they are scared for their this this for their lives. this is this ridiculous we have ridiculous debate that we have in this country has to be exposed. >> well, they go and says he wants to respond. so he's going to do that after the break. that is the million dollar question, isn't it? why have we got this situation in in this country? i

think might few think you might have a few suggestions we find suggestions as to why we find ourselves, why where we do. but what on earth we going to do what on earth are we going to do about it? let's continue this conversation couple of

earlier on gb news radio . earlier on gb news radio. >> hi there. i'm michelle dewberry . this is dewbs& co and dewberry. this is dewbs& co and we're with you till seven alongside with the professor of politics at the university of kent, matt goodwin , and the kent, matt goodwin, and the co—founder of novara media, aaron bastani. we're going to pick left off. um, pick up where we left off. um, you wanted respond to points you wanted to respond to points that matt goodwin was making a second ago. yeah. >> so, i mean, the idea that, you know, majority—muslim countries can't be safe . anybody countries can't be safe. anybody that's to uae or qatar that's been to the uae or qatar or arabia that know, that or saudi arabia that know, that knows categorically not or saudi arabia that know, that knowthey're categorically not or saudi arabia that know, that knowthey're categsafeally not true. they're very safe countries . if you're going countries. if you're going there. >> @ reason for that, >> there's a reason for that, though. >> well, quite. and that is there's a strong state, there's a rule law. and you a strong rule of law. and you can't about. and you can't muck about. and if you transgress, in trouble. transgress, you're in trouble. now, go as far now, i wouldn't quite go as far as arabia, but there's

as saudi arabia, but there's something to that. and then on the multiculturalism, the point of multiculturalism, same with singapore, a multicultural the multicultural society in the 60s, people thought actually it was multicultural. was too multicultural. there were and is were race riots and now it is one wealthiest, most one of the wealthiest, most prosperous, most cohesive societies earth. why societies on planet earth. why again, state, strong rule again, strong state, strong rule of institutions, of law, strong institutions, strong sense of shared identity . strong sense of shared identity. and those are the things i think we should be focusing on. yeah what brings us together and what institutions do institutions are going to do that. strong rule of law that. and a strong rule of law if muck you'll be if you muck about, you'll be punished. it's nothing personal. that's just how it works so good punished. it's nothing personal. thatpunishesw it works so good punished. it's nothing personal. thatpunishesw it wo you;o good punished. it's nothing personal. thatpunishesw it wo you won'td punished. it's nothing personal. thatpunishesw it wo you won't be punished. >> i mean, listening to you. >> i mean, i'm listening to you. i'm i'm not. yeah, if you i'm like, i'm not. yeah, if you if you do wrong, you should be punished. you won't be punished. you should be. you barely even get caught. the police can barely talking barely stop themselves talking about and about tweets to go out and police streets. about tweets to go out and police need reets. about tweets to go out and police need reechange >> we need to change that, though, michel. >> we need to change that, though,the :hel. >> we need to change that, though,the management and their >> it's the management and their strategies . strategies. >> to change that. >> we need to change that. >> we need to change that. >> we do. um, are are. i'm >> yes we do. um, are are. i'm in a bad mood tonight. >> well, they need to be consequences you break the consequences if you break the law country, need law in this country, there need to seriousconsequences. law in this country, there need to serious consequences. but to be serious consequences. but also model migration and also our model of migration and multicultural ism

also our model of migration and multiculturalism completely multicultural ism is completely broken. things that broken. one of the things that came this week, as saw came out this week, as we saw the new forecast from office the new forecast from the office for statistics, shows for national statistics, shows that now 2036, not that between now and 2036, not a long , just the next 12 long time, just the next 12 years, we're going to have 6.6 million more people in the country 6.1 million of those because of immigration, an immigration from largely outside of europe. now, when we talk about building a cohesive, integrated society, it sounds very nice, sadiq khan says. diversity is our strength. what we importing actually are we are importing actually are lots of people that don't share our values , that don't share our our values, that don't share our culture, our history , that don't culture, our history, that don't really relate to who we are fundamentally, as a people . and fundamentally, as a people. and what concerns me. lastly, and just, just please go on me out. what concerns me is we don't have any serious plan in this country or in government for how we're going to manage immigration and multiculturalism over the next 20, 30 years. all we know is there's going to be a lot more of it and it's going to happen very, very quickly. and a lot of people are going to feel very concerned about it. but i

haven't any serious haven't heard any serious frontline out frontline politician come out and say, here's our strategy for managing ten, managing this over the next ten, 12 just don't do that. 12 years. we just don't do that. we're not a serious country when it to these kinds of it comes to these kinds of issues. yeah, think issues. so yeah, i think i actually with you, actually disagree with you, matt, because because you're saying people coming saying that people are coming over values. over here with different values. >> think very >> i actually think very frequently decision makers, policy people policy makers, the people of real country, real influence in this country, they're proud of the values they're not proud of the values that be proud of. that were meant to be proud of. well, agree with, you know, so well, i agree with, you know, so i think that's that's so, you know, so think if somebody is know, so i think if somebody is coming here, my father is coming over here, my father is an he came an iranian immigrant. he came here. because he here. he came here because he loved this country, loved the idea of this country, rule of law, fairness. you can get on if you work hard. he loves still loves idea. loves he still loves the idea. he won't ever hear a bad word said about britain it's said about britain unless it's really merited. like the iraq war something crazy. so i, i war or something crazy. so i, i think actually more people buy into of a strong sense into this idea of a strong sense of identity, strong institutions, of institutions, strong rule of law. think that's law. then don't i think that's a complete the problem complete misnomer. the problem is we an establishment who is we have an establishment who aren't say, what aren't willing to say, what do we about gender equality, we care about gender equality, fairness, . you can fairness, rule of law. you can be you want to be. hard work

be who you want to be. hard work pays. these are things we all believe in. and yet there's a political class that really doesn't don't doesn't i don't know. they don't want foster a sense of want to foster a sense of vision, of that stuff actually encompassing people that when they need to they come here, you need to adopt if you don't, you're adopt this. if you don't, you're probably not going to work out well don't believe probably not going to work out wethe don't believe probably not going to work out wethe nation don't believe probably not going to work out wethe nation state.ion't believe in the nation state. >> i mean, they are basically to use word that some my use a word that some of my fellow writers come up fellow writers have come up with. anywheres they'll with. they're anywheres they'll be comfortable anywhere. they don't believe don't fundamentally believe in the the nation state the concept of the nation state and to build and what it takes to build a strong, prosperous nation state. that's why that's the problem. that's why they struggled with brexit. that's to that's why they don't want to reduce why reduce migration. that's why they're this new reduce migration. that's why they're of this new reduce migration. that's why they'reof importing:his new reduce migration. that's why they'reof importing hundreds of model of importing hundreds of thousands from outside thousands of people from outside of yean thousands of people from outside of year, even of europe every year, even though they take more out of the economy in. economy than they put in. they're this broken they're happy with this broken economy. don't economy. they don't want an economy. they don't want an economy that is organised around productivity outside of productivity areas outside of london back against london that pushes back against big business, that pushes back against globalisation. i agree with on all of these with that. on on all of these things. i think we agree where maybe we what maybe we disagree. we is what i'm saying we are also i'm saying is that we are also rapidly importing not just an

economic problem, but a cultural problem. are importing problem. we are importing a cultural in this cultural problem in this country, which i would argue is rooted in groups and a religion that has a fundamental, rooted in groups and a religion that has a fundamental , totally that has a fundamental, totally different view of the world than britain, and that i think , is britain, and that i think, is reflected not just in this case, about an mp who's being chased out public office, but in out of public office, but in lots similar cases of lots of similar cases of violence harassment and violence and harassment and abuse up and down this country , abuse up and down this country, among people that don't really share our values. among people that don't really share our values . well, there share our values. well, there you go. >> that's an interesting point. and let's explore it then, shall we? i will back with that in we? i will be back with that in a couple minutes. your a couple of minutes. your thoughts gb views us at gbnews.com. make gbnews.com. what do you make to it all? tell me. see you in

hi there . i'm michelle dewberry hi there. i'm michelle dewberry with you till seven on dewbs& co here on gb news. professor of politics at the university of kent , matt goodwin politics at the university of kent, matt goodwin alongside me, as is the co—founder of novara media, aaron bastien bannau. um,

you , moira, i think you've you know, moira, i think you've made a really interesting point. you said diversity is not a strength. it is unity that is our strength. i think i completely agree with you . uh, completely agree with you. uh, there, jeff says, i don't believe extremism will be tackled with the current government or labour. is there anyone actually , uh, jeff, i'll anyone actually, uh, jeff, i'll put it to you that you think would would, um, actually be able to fix this issue or not? malcolm says nigel farage says mps need protection, but who then is going to protect the rest of us? uh way too many mobs get in their own way through threats, says joe. indeed. you've got to stand up to these people. uh, look, one of the things that i thought was quite interesting , uh, we're talking interesting, uh, we're talking about mike prior, this , um, uh, about mike prior, this, um, uh, mp who says that he's not going to run again. he he he's got lots of death threats . we've lots of death threats. we've spoken this at length spoken about this at length throughout program. i won't throughout the program. i won't repeat one of the repeat myself anyway, one of the topics causing a lot topics that's causing a lot of division, he would suggest, is the israel hamas conflict. and the israel hamas conflict. and the response to and the the uk response to that and the

uk response to that, uk government response to that, etc. where are you on that? matt >> well, i mean, i irrespective firstly of where i am on that specific issue, any mp who's been elected to parliament should be able to say what they think about any issue without being threaten ed, uh, with murder. so, so that's the first point. and the moment we start to retreat on some of that is the moment that we start to lose our, our liberal representative democracy. the second thing that i would say is, yeah, i think the aftermath of the october seventh hideous seventh attacks, the hideous atrocities committed by an islamist terrorist group against israel, has really has really pulled back the curtain for us all to see what's going on in this country. and i've written about combination about this toxic combination that see in britain today, that i see in britain today, which is a sort of toxic alliance between kind woke alliance between a kind of woke radical left that is obsessed with politics, obsessed with identity politics, obsessed with identity politics, obsessed with seeing israel and jews as as oppressors and radical islamists who are given a free pass by that group. as we saw on

the protests, you know, they're allowed to you know, sort of walk along with hamas insignia and sing these gruesome songs. and left kind of and the radical left kind of gives a free pass. is gives them a free pass. that is what worried about. it's the what i'm worried about. it's the alliance those alliance between those two groups i think become groups that i think has become pressing and visible to everybody. after the attacks. aaron, with regards to israel, gaza, israel , palestine, israel, gaza, israel, palestine, israel, hamas, the question i think people need to ask is how are britain's interests being served here? >> you know, a few days ago there was a conference in jerusalem, i believe, led by settlers , was attended by about settlers, was attended by about a third of the israeli cabinet, one of the primary speakers there to there said, we need to ethnically cleanse gaza. they need leave the palestinians. need to leave the palestinians. they leave. go they need to leave. they'll go to where england and to guess where england and scotland, 2.5 million people would come to europe . how are would come to europe. how are our interests served ? by our interests served? by aligning ourselves with people who say, you know what? send them the soft touch of them to the soft touch of europe, because and europe, because then gaza and beaches can become israeli beaches. more, if they beaches. further more, if they go to egypt, people say, why don't egyptians take them? don't the egyptians take them? eqypt don't the egyptians take them? egypt if they get 2.5 egypt has 35. if they get 2.5 million palestinians is very ,

million palestinians is very, very major problems for them. if that becomes a failed state, it is 100 million people on the mediterranean sea, right? if iran becomes a failed state, that's 90 million people. 190 million people potentially in failed states over the next 20 years. if certain people in the united states foreign policy establishment get their way. so that's question. how that's the question. how are britain's interests served? and i how they're served i don't see how they're served by on the same side. an by being on the same side. an israeli government that is openly talking about millions of people coming to europe, can i just say, can i ask because, you know, you would self—identify as being on the left? >> absolutely. so why haven't i seen on the left the seen people on the left over the last hours coming out en last 48 hours coming out en masse denounce the attacks masse to denounce the attacks and harassment of this and the harassment of this member who took a member of parliament, who took a pro—israel position? has pro—israel position? where has all condemnation been? all the condemnation been? where? are people online where? where are people online saying, you know, it's outrageous, that radical islamists been harassing islamists have been harassing this mp and making him feel that his is under threat, his life is under threat, because seen them. his life is under threat, becaimean, seen them. his life is under threat, becaimean, i seen them. his life is under threat, becaimean, i said een them. his life is under threat, becaimean, i said it,1 them. his life is under threat, becaimean, i said it, ithem. his life is under threat, becaimean, i said it, i mean, >> i mean, i said it, i mean, i don't know how many other people
