this continue enough is enough. what does he instead .7 he what does he do instead? he tweets xl bullies . yeah, tweets about xl bullies. yeah, fantastic . where's keir starmer fantastic. where's keir starmer on this ? well, he's conducting on this? well, he's conducting focus groups on how to get the muslim vote back. so he's hardly going to come out all guns blazing is he? ed davey. well there's no way a liberal democrat leader would come out and admit that his ideology has helped britain helped turn britain into a poster multicultural poster nation for multicultural failure . the police have let failure. the police have let protesters , which include rabid protesters, which include rabid anti—semites , rampage around anti—semites, rampage around london every flipping saturday for the last three months. and today they are finally saying that they don't support some of the protests , which in the past the protests, which in the past have included a now banned terror group and people holding up anti—jewish signs . as they're up anti—jewish signs. as they're saying, please don't march down whitehall. all right. but will you do anything to stop them if they ignore you, i doubt it. the genie is out of the bottle. this is like when sajid javid was home secretary, right? he should have turned the first migrant boats back in the channel and
3:05 am
now wouldn't have problem now we wouldn't have a problem there. police there. politicians and police should have clamped on should have clamped down on jihadis immediately instead of being too scared of being called islamophobic to act. i honestly cannot believe that we have sunk to the level where a serving minister stands down because of threats from extremists and our prime ministerjust doesn't feel prime minister just doesn't feel the need to address it, neither does the leader of the opposition, former immigration minister robert jenrick, has been very strong on this. he said it is shameful that an mp has been intimidated out of office. our political discourse should improve , but the far should improve, but the far bigger problem for our liberal democracy virulently democracy is virulently anti—british, islamist extremism, which is both deeply homophobic and anti—semitic and in this case, violent. the ideology has to be confronted and comprehensively defeated . i and comprehensively defeated. i am absolutely fuming about all of this now , and you have to add of this now, and you have to add that, don't you, to the fact that, don't you, to the fact that today, as it currently stands, we have a former asylum
3:06 am
seeker on the run as a result of an alleged alkaline attack . why an alleged alkaline attack. why was that man in this country as robert jenrick says, why is our beautiful country putting up with all of this anti—british ideology? but let's get the thoughts now of my panel. i have got daily telegraph columnist allison pearson. i've got conservative peer lord sean bailey, and i've also got former labour party adviser matthew laza allison. i'll go to you now . i mean, we have capitulated and rolled over and let some mad fundamentalist tickle our nation's belly, haven't we? >> yeah, we absolutely have. >> yeah, we absolutely have. >> it's a dark day for democracy . when an elected representative, mike craig, a great mp for golders green and finchley for 14 years, has stuck up for jewish constituents , up for jewish constituents, backed israel. and he has been subject to these absolutely vile, anti—semitic and anti—british attacks. and as you
3:07 am
say, patrick, our political class are terrified of the word islamophobia. they are more worried about being islamophobic than serving the duty of sticking up for the british way of life, of british people and they are, as you said, spineless , despicable. i am like you. i'm absolute fuming. this poor mike, mike freer , you know, he's mike freer, you know, he's joining us later in the studio, by the way. no. you know, office burnt got an email saying people like you deserve to be set alight. we shouldn't have democratic representatives subject to threats like this. and these groups because we've seen these marches in london. metropolitan police have been having a hands off approach . having a hands off approach. they are emboldened. patrick they are emboldened. patrick they are emboldened. patrick they are laughing. they think these people are weak. and we are going to press for more and more. we're seeing it in schools. we're seeing it in attacks on mps. we're seeing in, you know, people being hounded, threatened when they vote the wrong way. this really needed to be the bud and it's
3:08 am
be nipped in the bud and it's disgusting that a rishi sunak and keir starmer have not come out and said enough , enough. yeah. >> where is rishi sunak ? i'm >> where is rishi sunak? i'm sorry, but if a minister resigns or whatever doesn't stand for re—election because because of islamist threats and death threats as well, and the fact that their office has been a victim of an arson attack, the exact motive of that, we're yet to find out, of course. and our actual prime minister doesn't come out and say anything about that. , but what's the that. i'm sorry, but what's the point anything? mean , how point of anything? i mean, how that says he doesn't care that to me says he doesn't care about his own ministers. about one of his own ministers. he doesn't care about does he doesn't care about us, does he? i think it's things. he? i think it's three things. >> bullies. firstly, the >> xl bullies. firstly, the prime minister come out prime minister should come out and should and say something. so should keir because the idea keir starmer, because the idea that you can intimidate mps into going your way or not is disgraceful. let's be clear, disgraceful. and let's be clear, this happens to people all up and the political and down. the political hierarchy as it happens to councillors. and now it's got all the way up to ministers. so somebody needs something. somebody needs to say something. i the prime i think a word from the prime minister the from keir minister and the word from keir starmer have been starmer would have been powerful, would have meant something. this
3:09 am
something. of course, this is just cancel just another arm of cancel culture. if you're a tory, it culture. so if you're a tory, it feels like it's open season on tory. write in tory. you can write in newspapers and whatever you newspapers and do whatever you say. abuse you online say. people who abuse you online are then in the are then supported in the newspaper. what that's done newspaper. and what that's done that's emboldened people come newspaper. and what that's done thaand mboldened people come newspaper. and what that's done thaand get>ldened people come newspaper. and what that's done thaand get inened people come newspaper. and what that's done thaand get in your people come newspaper. and what that's done thaand get in your faceile come newspaper. and what that's done thaand get in your face and come newspaper. and what that's done thaand get in your face and say�*ne up and get in your face and say things ultimate things to you. and the ultimate expression of that, of people getting the fray, of getting in the fray, says, of course, mps, two course, we've had four mps, two murdered two and two. and murdered and two and two. and mike freer and also stephen mike freer now, and also stephen timms, who stabbed timms, who was who was stabbed very badly. and if we don't nip this in bud, democracy this in the bud, our democracy is because what it is at risk, because what it means is, as someone in public life, someone in elected life, as someone in elected pubuc life, as someone in elected public will public life, you will think twice you express twice before you express an opinion and that destroys democracy. that democracy. it's a disgrace that it's to happen and it's been allowed to happen and somebody needs to get handle somebody needs to get a handle on starts with the on it. and it starts with the pm, sir keir starmer coming out and saying they do not support this. >> look today they we have a government minister standing down. announced last down. he announced it last night. to be joining night. he's going to be joining us studio later standing us in the studio later standing down threats okay. and we down over threats okay. and we have a former asylum seeker as well on the run this evening at large as it currently stands

3:11 am
know, on a corner shop. and know, get on a corner shop. and so, we need make so, you know, we need to make sure that have systems in sure that we have systems in place to protect our politicians so they speak and so that they can speak out and that don't as mike's that people don't feel as mike's made that very personal decision that can't carry on. that he can't carry on. >> but it goes protecting >> but it goes beyond protecting our politicians, if you >> but it goes beyond protecting omthat, icians, if you >> but it goes beyond protecting omthat, politicians if you >> but it goes beyond protecting omthat, politicians would you do that, politicians would become and be become an elite and we'd be separate, b it'd be, you separate, and b it'd be, you know, line of police between know, a line of police between politicians. have to do politicians. what we have to do is stop this everywhere. you've seen that seen the pressure that certain schools under when schools have come under when they've tried dragged they've been tried to be dragged into political you've into the political arena. you've seen when you go online how certain direct the certain outlets direct the public's order to make public's ire in order to make people about people angry about that individual than individual rather than the politics. they're things politics. they're the things that get on top of, that we need to get on top of, because i really want to get this you're in this across. if you're in political and you to political life and you have to worry about statements you're going to make, you won't make them. when it comes them. and then when it comes to do we to face the boats, do, we need to face the boats, do, we need to face the boats, do we need to talk about islamist terror? we won't. let's be i remember a be clear. i remember reading a report level of terror report about the level of terror we and they kept talking we had, and they kept talking about right wing terror and a police said to me, the police officer said to me, the reason they do that, sean, is
3:12 am
because in comfort because it's in their comfort zone. they're able that zone. they're able to do that and no, they won't be and not and no, they won't be approached for being racist. and the thing, the other thing, it seems tangential, it's true. tangential, but it's true. everything british seems to be second, know, it's okay to second, you know, it's okay to abuse history, but you abuse british history, but you can't anybody else's can't speak about anybody else's history. all those things history. and all of those things play history. and all of those things pla and i think need to >> and i think people need to speak about both. but but remember that jo cox was killed by extremist, uh, by a right wing extremist, uh, that the mp west lancashire that the mp for west lancashire was, respect, they were was, with respect, they were they were delighted. >> obviously, they >> i mean, obviously, they were very that had happened very sad that what had happened to jo cox. but the relief when it wing lunatic like it was a right wing lunatic like they are. you said that, sir lindsay hoyle, the speaker of the of commons, had spoken the house of commons, had spoken out that he said was out what i saw that he said was basically mps should bit basically mps should be a bit nicer other. there nicer to each other. there is this huge elephant in the room and we poor david and when we saw poor sir david amess to death in amess yes, stabbed to death in his leigh on constituency his leigh on sea constituency office, what did, uh, members of parliament should have parliament do? they should have been they were been standing there. they were so know so embarrassed. they didn't know where and they stood where to look. and they stood there. talked about social there. they talked about social media and tweeting. and you just thought this is an ideology is clearly a big part in this. in
3:13 am
this instance. want to this instance. don't want to confront it's too confront it because it's too big. and these people are they intimidate them. it becomes intimidate them. so it becomes a vicious circle where no one will talk about everyone shouts talk about it. everyone shouts islamophobia to shut people up, and cannot be these people. and we cannot be these people. they do not want to fit into our into britain. patrick they want britain to fit into them. >> i think i think the concern for lot people, and i think for a lot of people, and i think it's a very valid concern, is if we have imported and allowed to fester and become home fester and then become home grown as well. medieval grown as well. a medieval ideology and people who are also deranged. why are we having to live like this? everyone can see it coming. everyone can talk about it. we're all shouting about it. we're all shouting about it. we're all shouting about it. why are we having to pay about it. why are we having to pay the consequences for it? i just want to say again a little bit later on in the show. not so long now, we are going to be joined mike that mp joined by mike freer, that mp who to walk around who has had to walk around wearing vest. now he's wearing a stab vest. now he's stepping down as a of stepping down as a result of death threats, so we're death threats, etc. so we're really get his views on really keen to get his views on all that. a little bit all of that. and a little bit later on in the show as well.

fresh and fit and the whatever podcasts and the the podcasts and the like. the problem is problem with this is, is that it's of weaponizing it's kind of weaponizing male resentment, and it's not teaching them to be responsible husbands and fathers. instead teaching them to be responsible hussayingand fathers. instead teaching them to be responsible hussayingand “should instead teaching them to be responsible hussayingand “should go .tead teaching them to be responsible hussayingand “should go and teaching them to be responsible huss.aingand “should go and teaching them to be responsible huss.a corporate|ould go and teaching them to be responsible huss.a corporate jobd go and teaching them to be responsible huss.a corporate job and and teaching them to be responsible huss.a corporate job and get work a corporate job and get a harem of women out in dubai and intimidate them into being attracted like attracted to you, just like andrew. don't think that's a andrew. i don't think that's a helpful message for many. >> okay, look, firstly, >> okay, okay, look, firstly, i'm go to anna. uh, on i'm going to go to anna. uh, on this and then we'll then this and then we'll and then we'll respond to all we'll let people respond to all of um, so anna, of that obviously. um, so anna, you've what carlos said you've heard what carlos said there. that's that's conner's lived do lived experience, right? do you do conner's do you disagree with conner's lived experience difference here? >> of course i do. only a man could make feminism about him. i mean, it really is nothing to do with men. it's about moving women forward. men should women forward. and men should welcome it. that real men will welcome it. that real men will welcome it. that real men will welcome it. starting in the domestic setting and then moving out into the world, into business, into education, into culture. it should all be a joint thing. so it's about women , but it needs everybody to get on board. so what you've just said is a load of nonsense .
3:28 am

3:35 am
day and it's been a quite traumatic experience . traumatic experience. >> it's it's a real wrench to >> it's a it's a real wrench to walk away from a job that you love, but also a constituency that you've become. you know, i lived there, it's my home and i regard many of my constituents as friends . and, um, it is an as friends. and, um, it is an amazing, amazing place. and to walk away from that is really quite it's quite emotional. um, renee to think this was a job i loved and but unfortunately , i loved and but unfortunately, i can't do it anymore. >> can you talk me through the process because you mentioned about the alleged arson attack, etc. being the final straw, but this has been a really quite vile journey to get to this point. so what kind threats point. so what kind of threats have what's that look like? >> well, like every mp, i mean, day in, day out, you get abusive emails, you get low level stuff that whether we should accept it, but we it's graffiti, it, but we do. it's graffiti, you know, um, things like, you know, it's um, things like, you know, it's um, things like, you i've in the past, you know, i've had in the past, i've a mock molotov cocktail i've had a mock molotov cocktail left on the door, meaning left on the office door, meaning we to evacuate the whole we had to evacuate the whole building . i've and out building. i've come out and out of house and found a, you
3:36 am
of my house and found a, you know, a note on my car . of my house and found a, you know, a note on my car. um, where i live is common knowledge, but what i drive is less so. and there's a few weeks after john mann had had the afterjohn mann had had the wheel nuts and his car tampered with. that kind of makes with. so that all kind of makes you bit. you know, what on you a bit. you know, what on earth's but i've had earth's going on. but i've had two run ins with the organisation muslims organisation that was muslims against crusades people like against crusades and people like anjum behind anjum chowdhury, who was behind that been that organisation in, um, been to prison. online it said i to prison. but online it said i used to do surgery in mosques , used to do surgery in mosques, surgery, mosques, so i wanted to go out and see people and online there's a picture of me saying, you're not welcome in our our mosque. like stephen timms. be a pointed reminder. so it's not very subtle. well, for just our viewers and listeners, you might not timms, not remember that stephen timms, of stabbed by a of course, was stabbed by a woman who'd been radicalised. um, heavens he survived. um, thank heavens he survived. so a very unsubtle saying, so he's a very unsubtle saying, we're coming for you as well. and you, they did. they came to the mosque. they broke into the surgery. um, pushed surgery. they, um, pushed someone out of the way, and they basically then started abusing me. and i was moved into the
3:37 am
office for my safety the office for my safety until the police they came police could arrive. they came back the next surgery. back at the next surgery. luckily police were there, luckily the police were there, but demonstrating but were demonstrating an abusive was the abusive outside. so that was the start it . and you kind of as start of it. and you kind of as mps, kind of shrug it off. mps, we kind of shrug it off. it's the course. it it's par for the course. it shouldn't be. and then the shouldn't be. and then just the routine stuff. and then we had ali harbi ali, when he went ali harbi ali, who when he went on to kill david, was then on sadly to kill david, was then obviously arrested and they went the police were thorough, went through phones and found through his phones and found he'd several recces on he'd done several recces on finchley, evidence , finchley, and in his evidence, terrifying. the time , terrifying. surely at the time, of course, i was no idea. but of course. and when i was told it wasn't that he'd done recces, but actually come to but actually he'd come to finchley and he told the police he with the intention he was armed with the intention to it's by a to harm and it's only by a stroke of that on that stroke of luck that on that thursday night, boris often joke, saved my life . not joke, boris saved my life. not many say that. yeah many people can say that. yeah um. it moved me from the whips office to so instead of office to export. so instead of being in finchley, i came into westminster. otherwise i'd have beenin westminster. otherwise i'd have been in my office that friday. and that was really when the rot set in. >> do we take now ? it's
3:38 am
>> do we take now? it's important to say that there was this arson attack at your office. don't yet know the office. we don't yet know the root cause behind that. and so i don't really want to speculate there because there's also enough to go out. right. so when it to the attacks that it comes to the attacks that you've you've faced, do we take islamist threats seriously enough, do you think? >> well, i don't think it's just, um, it's threats. i don't want to tar a whole community because my local mosque, my nonh because my local mosque, my north finchley mosque, were amazing. they were horrified by what had happened. and that's not a reflection on my local community, but we do have a problem where people and i think my personal view is this is where social media has a lot to blame because people get their news from social media, and it's kind of unfiltered. and if it's on social media, it must be true. but the social media companies really don't do enough to take harmful content off. if or you complain about or when you complain about something that's on there, basically, either you don't get an answer to your complaint or
3:39 am
nothing happens. and so i think there's two parts. one is social media with content that allows people to be if like indoctrinated and i think and beyond that, slightly broader problem we have is , is, you problem we have is, is, you know, we do need to do far more to ensure that people in the uk side own up to our british values . you know, i'm a gay man. values. you know, i'm a gay man. that's not a that was one of the reasons why i'm muslim. games, crusades also came after me as being pro—israel and gay in a mosque that's a whole different story. but it's like, i don't need like me . i don't need you to like me. i don't need you to like me. i don't need accept but i do need you to accept me. but i do need you to accept me. but i do need to understand that this is britain and these are our values. you don't like values. and if you don't like it, well, that's going to be your problem. expect your problem. i don't expect you to me. um, one thing to come after me. um, one thing i expecting was maybe rishi i was expecting was maybe rishi sunak to a bit more vocal sunak to be a bit more vocal about this. >> are you a bit disappointed that he hasn't made more of a statement, do you think? >> um, i think it's difficult for, um, for rishi. i've spoken to him. in fact, i've just, um,
3:40 am
we had an event for the parliamentary party, and to be fair , absolutely , um, fair, he was absolutely, um, effusive about , uh, how this fair, he was absolutely, um, effusive about, uh, how this is not acceptable . but equally , um, not acceptable. but equally, um, for him, this is obviously a very personal decision . he very personal decision. he understands the motivation for my decision. and you know, to be fair to him, he's giving me lots of support, but also giving me a lot of space for me to handle it the way i want to handle it. so i wouldn't criticise the prime minister for that. >> okay. all right. well, we >> okay. all right. and well, we do a look at this arson do have a look at this arson attack that took place at your, um, constituency office. again, we don't know the motives behind that at the moment or certainly not publicly. um, but can you just talk me through what happenedin just talk me through what happened in terms of what that was for you? was like for you? >> well, i don't think i you know, appreciate that . you know, i appreciate that. you know, i appreciate that. you know, there's a court going know, there's a court case going on, individuals have on, uh, two individuals have been in prison, on, uh, two individuals have be
3:41 am
more than that. the police and the fire brigade were exemplary in terms of responding. but what he's for me. he's he's done is it for me. he's like , you know, the alarm goes like, you know, the alarm goes off. christmas eve. oh, here off. um, christmas eve. oh, here we another false alarm. i we go. another false alarm. i won't to the office on my own won't go to the office on my own at night. so, angela, my husband came and then we pull came with me, and then we pull up and see the whole area cordoned off and fire engines, and just stand watch and you just stand and watch the, know, of your the, you know, the back of your office burning with a massive police and fire presence. and then you see the damage afterwards. and you think , why afterwards. and you think, why does someone do this? you know , does someone do this? you know, is it, is it just random? is it because and you can't because of me? and you can't divorce it what's gone divorce it from what's gone before? so i might be jumping to conclusions. we'll see what the court from point court trial. but from my point of a pattern of of view, it's a pattern of behaviour. now and my behaviour. now and angela, my husband, rightly said husband, is quite rightly said this enough. this has got to stop. >> so did it this decision, was it driven a bit by your husband as well? i mean , because it must as well? i mean, because it must have. also, i did want to ask you this actually, which is that, you know, this must have had a huge impact. it would on
3:42 am
anyone close to you. you know, if fiance, for if it was my fiance, for example, anything like that. example, or anything like that. absolutely. be going out of absolutely. i'd be going out of my know? so what was my mind, you know? so what was that home? if you that like in the home? if you don't me asking, it's don't mind me asking, it's difficult because obviously, you know, as mps, we kind of shrug it off a bit. >> know, or wrongly, >> you know, rightly or wrongly, but we forget the impact, not just our partners, just actually on our partners, but staff who have but also on our staff who have to with it a day to day to deal with it on a day to day basis. you know, they're the ones answer the phone and ones who answer the phone and open door. but, you know, open the door. but, you know, when come home and know when you come home and you know your spouse and partner, um, is worried safety, you worried about your safety, you know, the ali habib know, and after the ali habib ali incident , know, and after the ali habib ali incident, um, angela doesn't let me walk in the streets to the tube station. it wants to drive me to the tube. if he even likes me on the tube, i tend to drive to work now, but if am drive to work now, but if i am on the tube he wants to pick me up. you know, it's like, well, you know, what are doing you know, what are you doing today? um, wanted know, today? um, wanted to know, you know. you know. are you inside? are you outside? and also, when i do, like many mps do what's called supermarket know, like many mps do what's called sup
3:43 am
people to come and talk to you. um, know, he'll see me in um, you know, he'll see me in a stab vest. and so, yeah, it's been tough on him. >> just on that. just one more with if that's all right. with you, if that's all right. which is the stamp vest point the calls for more more security for mps and what that would look like in practice. i don't know, a personal bodyguard for every mp or whatever. where are you on that ? because you know, this is that? because you know, this is this something to consider this is something to consider now, people? now, isn't it, for people? >> um, mean, i was lucky is >> um, i mean, i was lucky is probably wrong but, probably the wrong word, but, you the number of you know, after the number of incidents, office incidents, my office is a fortress . it's my home after fortress. so it's my home after the big incident with the guy that kill david, my that went on to kill david, my house was kind of ripped apart. but that's fine. but actually, where vulnerable where are you? more vulnerable is travelling to is when you're travelling to the, know, to the office. the, you know, to the office. when about doing when you're out and about doing your school visits, doing your supermarket searches. that's where you're more vulnerable when you're doing it, just when you're just doing it, just doing shopping . so security when you're just doing it, just dcfine shopping . so security when you're just doing it, just dcfine , shopping . so security when you're just doing it, just dcfine , but;hopping . so security when you're just doing it, just dcfine , but it)pping . so security when you're just doing it, just dcfine , but it doesn't so security when you're just doing it, just dcfine , but it doesn't solve curity is fine, but it doesn't solve the root cause . so just wrapping the root cause. so just wrapping us in, you know, a ring of steel , it's just a symptom . what?
3:44 am
, it's just a symptom. what? it's what is causing people to feel that mps are are, you know, it's open season on mps. feel that mps are are, you know, it's open season on mps . that's it's open season on mps. that's the issue that needs to be. i just think it's absolutely desperate state of affairs. >> if we've got good people like yourself who feel as though they can't serve a community anymore, then something has gone in incredibly, incredibly wrong. and very fearful. but thank and i'm very fearful. but thank you very much for coming. >> for inviting me. >> thank you for inviting me. >> thank you for inviting me. >> and look after yourself. obviously and hopefully we'll stay well going stay in touch as well going forward. that's mike ferrier there. gosh. look there. mp oh gosh. well look coming have you seen this coming up. have you seen this man year abdul azadi has man. 35 year old abdul azadi has been by police as the been named by police as the alleged chemical attacker of a mother and her two children. he's believed to be from, or at least living in the newcastle area. have very latest area. i'll have the very latest with former met police with a former met police officer, brennan , and as officer, norman brennan, and as well an acid attack survivor to discuss what their life was like following that incident . but following that incident. but next, greta thunberg was on trial british courtroom trial in a british courtroom today, widdecombe tells the today, and widdecombe tells the climate sort her act climate activist to sort her act out. and will have a huge out. and we will have a huge pharma kicking off

4:10 am
mate. the way he was stood about two foot down. um, and he threw it in an upward motion. so it came, splashed on my left hand side, more so from the way i opened the door. >> it hit the ceiling above me and rained acid down, and i had dropped marks all down my back. um, see, fully, fully um, as you can see, fully, fully full facial scarring. scarring to scarring on my arms to my torso. scarring on my arms and scarring to back . i lost and scarring to my back. i lost my in my left eye. and for my sight in my left eye. and for a time i was very limited. sight to my right, but thankfully to a lot of operations, i've got my sight back. back to quite a good standard on that. i um, i knew instantly it was acid when it hit me. i don't know, i don't know how, but i knew my t shirt disintegrated. it just rolled away. i think that was the real telltale sign . i'd worked around telltale sign. i'd worked around corrosive substances a lot in the hospitality industry, and i think that as a lot think that as well. a lot swimming pool, chemicals, you know, aware of in the know, being very aware of in the past . and knew there and then past. and i knew there and then that i had just been attacked with acid. my wife had been up
4:11 am
all night with my young, my young son at time. so she young son at the time. so she was bed out of harm's way. was in bed out of harm's way. um, yelled up to her, call um, and i yelled up to her, call 909. someone had thrown acid in my obviously she was my face. obviously she was bewildered going on. bewildered to what was going on. um, ran through my ran um, and i ran through my ran through the house, got to the kitchen, took off the clothing that i was covered in that i that i was covered in acid dousing myself acid and started dousing myself with water as could , with as much water as i could, not knowing that was the right thing the time, it thing to do at the time, it seemed logical. um, if i'd known what i know i would have what i know now, i would have gone the shower and gone and got in the shower and stayed there until the paramedics. arrived? paramedics. paramedics arrived? >> and look, it must >> oh, okay. and look, it must have been, i imagine, just agony i >> -- >> it's an inexplicable pain . >> it's an inexplicable pain. i've been asked to put it into words. so many times. it's so difficult. it's not like being burned with fire. your my burned with fire. your skin, my skin , it swelled up very quickly skin, it swelled up very quickly . um, but it felt dead. >> it felt touched. >> it felt touched. >> like it just didn't feel like my face anymore. um, but it was agonising pain. absolutely agonising pain. absolutely agonising pain. >> and since then, you've had around 60 operations. is that right ? um, i stopped counting. right? um, i stopped counting. >> right a long time ago. um,
4:12 am
yes. the nhs saved my life. they really did. um mark steyn. i got taken to on the first night. i got taken to hospital, our local hospital, and they sat down with my wife and my mum and said, look, we don't think he's going to make it. you've got to prepare for the worst. and this is why i always say i'd rather be shot or stabbed. puts me in the of survival. the same category of survival. but the recovery from being shot or recovery from being or the recovery from being stabbed in the ocean stabbed is a drop in the ocean compared have to compared to what you have to recover from. when you full recover from. when you have full facial or even less facial scarring or even less than that from an acid attack. facial scarring or even less than they from an acid attack. facial scarring or even less than they eventually id attack. facial scarring or even less than they eventually got ttack. facial scarring or even less than they eventually got mek. um, they eventually got me stable about hours. uh, stable after about 24 hours. uh, it them that long to get me it took them that long to get me stable to move by plane up stable to move me by by plane up to burns unit. up. up to morrisons burns unit. up. up in swansea. whereas in an induced for the first five induced coma for the first five days made icu for well days and i made an icu for well over a month and we heard that quite a lot of stats norm brennan. >> i'm pretty sure you're across some of the as well. it some of the details as well. it does appear as though acid attacks are becoming more frequent maybe than they were. what do you put that down to? i
4:13 am
mean, or what can we do to stop it? because it seems i would imagine it's quite an easy thing to get hold of these kind of corrosive substances, you know , corrosive substances, you know, it's when i got attacked in 2014 that, for me, seemed like the start of a crime wave. >> from then, things just escalated quite, quite badly . escalated quite, quite badly. um, i've campaigned for years for, for tougher sentence. so my, my attacker, david phillips, he was originally sentenced to life with minimum of eight life with a minimum of eight years. we appealed to sentence we i think the attorney general had close to 70 appeals all of the same nature, that eight years isn't long enough. no, we got told that the judge acted fairly in line with other case law. is no appeal to be granted. unbeknown to us, at the same time, he had appealed the life aspect of his sentence and his appeal got granted. so he went up to the to the court of appeal myself and the senior police officers from devon and cornwall police went up. we were the only people in the room that day
4:14 am
along with the three judges and they deemed him not to be a danger to society and lifted life sentence, um, of life from his sentence, um, of which sentence, which lightning a sentence, 16 years was only to years of which he was only to serve eight. in prison he only actually spent five and a half serve eight. in prison he only actuaiin spent five and a half serve eight. in prison he only actuaiin prisonfive and a half serve eight. in prison he only actuaiin prison befored a half serve eight. in prison he only actuaiin prison before he half serve eight. in prison he only actuaiin prison before he gotf years in prison before he got moved to an open prison near his family. um, i've campaigned for years. i've called for tougher sentences, still stand by sentences, and i still stand by that as the primary deterrent for wants to cross for anybody who wants to cross that anybody to that line. anybody who wants to use corrosive substance as a use a corrosive substance as a weapon should be facing life with a minimum tum of 20 years. yeah. you know the deterrent. it works. there many countries works. there is many countries in this world who base their legal system on the legal legal system on the uk legal system, and they have even managed to take steps to create more stricter laws with acid crime. the uk government have yet to do so. um, so the tougher sentences i would like to see decanting legislation where it becomes as um, an offence to remove acid and put it in an unmarked bottle. yeah >> because what are you planning on doing with that? there's no
4:15 am
reason for, for that. >> you know, you talk >> and it's, you know, you talk to people. it seems very simple. and the two strike policy, if you're in you're caught carrying acid in boston, in london once, that's okay. twice you face jail okay. twice you can face jail time. why is that? as twice time. why why is that? as twice thing. um, and ultimately better understanding from the judges. i feel let down by the justice system. i feel let down by those three judges who deemed my attacker not to be a dangerous man. and i don't think that that day they understood the severity of the injuries. i don't think they realised that in ten years time, i would still be this. i'd still be having regular surgery. i'd still be having regular hospital appointments. i've been backed up by two great charities, the katie piper foundation and face forward in la, have picked up the la, who have picked up the pieces from then on. >> now, can i just ask you, i'm going to get shouted out here because i know i'm aware that i'm a little bit over time, but i'm a little bit over time, but i think this is really important. actually there is believed to be a woman and we understand a child that have sadly latest, i think is
4:16 am
sadly got the latest, i think is life changing they life changing injuries. they said. wondering if said. i was just wondering if you just give a little you could just give a little message to them , you. message to them, you. >> it's tough. everybody handles their situation differently and i would never have expected me to do come through it the way i have. um, a big part of surviving, though, for me was normality finding, chiselling out those moments of just watching trashy tv with my wife in an icu just, you know, those moments to remind you that there's still a life there, and then you build back up on those, and you keep building and you keep building. >> thank you very, very much for coming and speaking so openly coming in and speaking so openly and about that . it is and honestly about that. it is seriously much appreciated . so seriously much appreciated. so thank very much. take thank you very much. you take care all right. gosh, look, care all right. um, gosh, look, i've got a lot more coming your way over the course of this show. i'm going to be doing all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages keep a pages today, so we'll keep you a little bit ahead of the curve when it comes to being top of when it comes to being on top of tomorrow's news. i'm also going tomorrow's news. i'm also going to konstantin to be speaking to konstantin kissin, most

am legitimately, incredibly angry. we've got an mp who is frankly, having to give up because of largely islamist extremist , because of largely islamist extremist, um, a prime minister who doesn't feel the need to say anything publicly about that. a leader of the opposition who doesn't the need to say doesn't feel the need to say publicly anything about that. i mean, what the heck is going on here? >> well, patrick, we shouldn't be that you remember, >> well, patrick, we shouldn't becourse, that you remember, >> well, patrick, we shouldn't be course, very at you remember, >> well, patrick, we shouldn't be course, very well,j remember, >> well, patrick, we shouldn't be course, very well, the nember, >> well, patrick, we shouldn't be course, very well, the tragicer, of course, very well, the tragic murder of sir david amess, after which mp after both which cowardly mp after mp, both tory and labour went into the chamber after their colleague tory and labour went into the charjust after their colleague tory and labour went into the charjust been their colleague tory and labour went into the charjust been murdered aague tory and labour went into the charjust been murdered by ue tory and labour went into the charjust been murdered by an had just been murdered by an islamic extremist and pretended that he had in fact been murdered by a tweet , that he had in fact been murdered by a tweet, uh, when they talked endlessly about onune they talked endlessly about online hate , digital harm, the online hate, digital harm, the online safety bill, uh, to do , online safety bill, uh, to do, uh, the one thing that they always do, which is avoid naming the problem, which is we have a major issue with islamist , uh, major issue with islamist, uh, extremists in this country who are using violence to intimidate other people into silence. >> and into, uh, doing whatever it is they want. and as long as
4:24 am
we continue to cower and bow down to this, it will continue, because, uh, one of the most depressing things about, uh, watching the reactions today is, as you've alluded to , not only as you've alluded to, not only have the prime minister or the leader of the opposition said anything but actually nobody has anything but actually nobody has anything say. even the people anything to say. even the people who are deeply concerned, as you anything to say. even the people who i|re deeply concerned, as you anything to say. even the people who! are, eeply concerned, as you anything to say. even the people who! are, they're)ncerned, as you anything to say. even the people who! are, they're not rned, as you anything to say. even the people who! are, they're not sayings you anything to say. even the people who! are, they're not saying we»u and i are, they're not saying we must have a task force within the police, or we must do x, or we must do y. they're all expressing their concern . i have expressing their concern. i have had enough of people's concern. i would like the government to actually do something and the police to actually do something , police to actually do something, to the point where maybe an elected member of parliament can go their business without go about their business without being threatened submission being threatened into submission . could we maybe have that? is that to ask in that unreason to ask in a democratic free country like ours ? ours? >> well, no it's not. but again today, lindsay hoyle, who i think is probably all right, decides to come out and say , decides to come out and say, look, mps need to be nicer to each other. i'm sorry, but it's not mps that have made mike fray
4:25 am
quit, is it? it's not mps that stabbed david amess to death. it's not mps who are rampaging through london every single saturday with anti semitic signs and occasionally beating up jewish people that they happen to pass in the street. you know, we a massive problem here we have a massive problem here that islamist that is radical islamist ideology , but it's been allowed ideology, but it's been allowed into britain though hasn't it. and people like you have been have been calling this out. why have been calling this out. why have we developed this massive self—loathing in britain, do you think? well one of the things, first of all, that shows the level of fear and cowardice and self—loathing that we have is the fact that a couple of weeks ago, you'll remember patrick, i'm sure you covered it on the show. >> the banning of the islamist group hizb ut—tahrir. uh hizb ut—tahrir banned in the uk. ut—tahrir was banned in the uk. finally, a couple of ago . finally, a couple of weeks ago. do you uh, other countries do you know, uh, other countries where ut—tahrir has been where hizb ut—tahrir has been banned time? banned for a long time? pakistan, , every arab pakistan, bangladesh, every arab country, but three every muslim country, but three every muslim country in central asia, indonesia , the most populous indonesia, the most populous country in the world. and what it shows you is we basically are
4:26 am
more islamist more tolerant of islamist extremists than muslim countries are , and the muslim rulers are. are, and the muslim rulers are. and muslim governments are. and the muslim governments are. and the muslim governments are. and i just and to say nothing and so i just and to say nothing of the fact, of course, a subject that has been covered both on gb news and on trigonometry, uh, the grooming gangs, again, why were they not given the attention and the police action that they should have been given because people were afraid and initially sensitivities about , quote, race sensitivities about, quote, race and diversity become fears when we allow people to use violence to silence people , uh, into an to silence people, uh, into an action. so until we have a leader or a government or a police constable or chief constable or whoever it is that actually gets a grip of this issue and says, we are not going to tolerate violent extremists in our country silencing mps. uh, this will continue and it will only get worse . will only get worse. >> yeah, indeed. but they're also going to have to be up for the fight constantly. and this is, frankly , a problem that is, frankly, a problem that i can see a mile off. can see coming a mile off. right. which is i don't think
4:27 am
they are clearly not. i mean, they're all at the moment willing to just roll over and have tickled by a have their bellies tickled by a load right. load of mad islamists. right. and to have to be and they're going to have to be prepared for massive protests. they're be they're going to have to be prepared death threats. prepared for death threats. they're have be they're going to have to be prepared people up prepared for people lining up outside primary schools and trying down. trying to shut them down. they're have to be they're going have to be prepared for all of this stuff. but fact they to but the fact that they have to be prepared surely shows be prepared for it surely shows that have a massive problem. that we have a massive problem. and i don't about you, but and i don't know about you, but i think there's a to lose i think there's a lot to lose here in britain. got here in britain. we have got a lot to lose. and just before i get your answer on this, i know that you think that there's a lot to in britain because lot to lose in britain because this is what happened when you were time. just were on question time. just saying. hope you find saying. i hope you don't find this insulting. quite this insulting. it's, um, quite bafic this insulting. it's, um, quite basic how great basic stuff about how great britain right? is the britain is, right? this is the reaction you got. here. it is. >> i think sunny is absolutely right practical level, but right on a practical level, but i think a cultural level is i think at a cultural level is something perhaps even more important, which is we've got to stop talking country. stop talking down our country. i'm generation immigrant i'm a first generation immigrant to i get to this country, and i get annoyed hearing people talk endlessly how the
4:28 am
endlessly about how we're the worst country the world. worst country in the world. we're most sexist country in we're the most sexist country in the we're most racist the world. we're the most racist country. it's all nonsense. this is places to is one of the best places to live world. and that's live in the world. and that's what should talking about. what we should be talking about. the that we're. shameless. the fact that we're. shameless. well is is exactly. well this is this is exactly. this is the problem that this is exactly the problem that i'm talking about. >> why do you get >> constantine. why do you get that reaction? how concerned should we be? well one of the things that you would not have seen on your tv screen, patrick, but you would have seen if you'd been there, uh, in the audience or on the panel, actually or on the panel, is actually she was the only one shouting. was not the only one shouting. >> have heard other male >> you may have heard other male voices well. so voices shouting as well. so there several people, uh, there were several people, uh, who offended by the idea who were so offended by the idea that actually that britain is actually a really country , uh, that that britain is actually a reall'felt country , uh, that that britain is actually a reall'felt the)untry , uh, that that britain is actually a reall'felt the need , uh, that that britain is actually a reall'felt the need t01h, that that britain is actually a reall'felt the need to shout|t that britain is actually a reall'felt the need to shout me they felt the need to shout me down. and i think, uh, in her case, as we later discover , it case, as we later discover, it speaks to an issue that we've covered, uh, obviously quite extensively. now which we're extensively. now which is we're educating young people to hate their country . uh, there's their own country. uh, there's no doubt about that. one of no doubt about that. and one of the things that happened with this afterwards, this young woman afterwards, one of uh, one of her
4:29 am
of her tweet, uh, one of her teachers tweeted at me saying how proud she is of her student for shouting down somebody on the panel . for shouting down somebody on the panel. uh, so. and when i pointed this out, she of course blocked me because these people can dish it out, but they can't take it. how ever. my point is this if we continue to be a society that teaches its young people to hate their own country, own values, their country, their own values, their own civilisation, then we will have the same time, have this. and at the same time, of there unholy of course, there is the unholy alliance of the kind of woke progressive islamists , progressive left and islamists, uh, who, who, who work hand in hand. uh, and you know, as long as we continue to have that, we will continue to have the problem. so the number one thing that i always try to tell british people is, the british people is, uh, the country not perfect. country is not perfect. of course, is not course, the culture is not perfect. history is not perfect. the history is not perfect. the history is not perfect. this a great perfect. but this is a great place by comparison to everywhere has ever everywhere else that has ever existed history existed in the history of humanity . and we to embrace humanity. and we have to embrace our values. the most our values. and the most important you can do important thing that you can do is teach your children the values society, values of your society, the importance valuing you importance of valuing what you have, grateful for the have, of being grateful for the
4:30 am
opportunity to enjoy the privilege that no one ever talks about. but it's the one privilege that we all have, which is first world privilege. and if people were actually to understand just how fortunate and they are living and lucky they are to be living in societies that are as free and prosperous still as ours and as prosperous still as ours are, maybe , maybe at that point are, maybe, maybe at that point we wouldn't listen to the lunatics who shout out and want to down our country as much to talk down our country as much as people do. as these people do. >> well, i could listen >> well, i mean, i could listen to you all day, so thank you very, very much. constantine. and, um, yep, got and, um, yep, you got trigonometry. you got a couple of other things out there. do you want to just give a bit you want to just give them a bit of shout out while we've got of a shout out while we've got you? please >> patrick, i'm afraid lost >> patrick, i'm afraid i've lost you there. i hear you there. i can't hear you better. thank for having better. um. thank you for having me. really appreciate it. and, me. i really appreciate it. and, uh, night. uh, have a great night. >> all right, take care. >> all right, mate, take care. look yourself. uh, you can look after yourself. uh, you can check him out online. of course. and does have fabulous and he does have a fabulous podcast. shows as well. podcast. and uh, shows as well. uh, trigger commentary. they are. you're aware are. i'm sure you're all aware of but there we are. of it anyway, but there we are. right. look, coming with right. look, coming up with harry working on harry and meghan working on a bunch projects for bunch of new projects for netflix, including a hollywood

4:35 am
telegraph chemical attacker was failed asylum seeker. astonishing detail . they put astonishing detail. they put chemical attacker in quotation marks by the way, is alleged. but the astonishing details about this man emerging reporter . he came to britain in the back of of a sex of a lorry, convicted of a sex offence in 2018, failed asylum twice and you know, now here we allegedly uh, mail allegedly are uh, the mail manhunt . yeah. there's a theme manhunt. yeah. there's a theme here, isn't convicted sex here, isn't there? convicted sex offender flask of offender through flask of chemicals at woman and her daughters. clapham suspect later seen on cctv with severe burns across his face. he's from afghanistan. he's 35 years old. he twice denied asylum, he was twice denied asylum, succeeding by claiming to be christian. there we go. all right. this is again the daily mail's coverage of that. uh, i can't see this is on top of the sun. uh, it's same story. so, uh, we are all right. okay look, time to take a look at tomorrow's newspaper front pages. now, with my press pack, it's daily telegraph columnist allison pierce and conservative peer lord bailey, former labour party adviser matthew laza . party adviser matthew laza. look, before i move on to
4:36 am
another story , it was important. another story, it was important. i'm just going to stress this again. you know, this is alleged at the moment. this chap has not been found or arrested or charged with anything but astonishing emerging charged with anything but astonaren't emerging charged with anything but astonaren't they emerging charged with anything but astonaren't they justnerging charged with anything but astonaren't they justnerl ing charged with anything but astonaren't they justnerl mean here. aren't they just so i mean , heart sinks, doesn't it? , the heart sinks, doesn't it? >> i mean, so it's such a >> i mean, just so it's such a familiar story as well, isn't it? because obviously applied it? because he obviously applied for rejected twice for asylum once, rejected twice rejected, third time lucky because he suddenly discovered he was a christian. we actually saw that. you'll remember that. we that liverpool. we saw that with the liverpool. the guy who tried to blow up the maternity hospital. and this is very, very common. now that either decide they're gay either decide that they're gay or christian and it's or they're christian and it's just completely cynical. and i just completely cynical. and i just have to say that, um, when i was growing up, we didn't have acid attacks in our country. we got think about the kind of got to think about the kind of people we're allowing come people we're allowing to come here, allowing to come people we're allowing to come here, but allowing to come people we're allowing to come here, but to allowing to come people we're allowing to come here, but to stayowing to come people we're allowing to come here, but to stay to ing to come people we're allowing to come here, but to stay to be to come people we're allowing to come here, but to stay to be an come here, but to stay to be an asylum seeker. and as you say, patrick alleged now, um, he horrible. i got so upset reading the details about a woman and two little girls who are
4:37 am
probably scarred for life , if probably scarred for life, if indeed this man has thrown this stuff over them. the only the only good point to come out of it, it seems to have splashed himself and taken out half of it, and presumably can't go to hospital as well. can't go to hospital. >> yeah, exactly. and sean , your >> yeah, exactly. and sean, your thinking on this, i mean, what this people like this regardless of whether or not he's even done this right? you just look at his rap sheet. what would let people like this? >> two things leap at me. one, the really important thing is that people are gaming the system and we talk about asylum seekers. we talk about economic migrants people a migrants and people all of a sudden they're leaning sudden they're always leaning towards and talk towards asylum seekers and talk about, be helping about, we must be helping the world. should be world. of course we should be helping world, but also helping the world, but we also have acknowledge system have to acknowledge the system is and this looks is being gamed. and this looks this example of this seems to be an example of that. the other piece that really bothered me, this is this is young and young is young woman and young children, attacked children, and he attacked them in that simply in a way that is simply allegedly them in that allegedly attacked them in that way. no way. there's absolutely no justification and justification for that. and i hope do him, the hope when they do catch him, the book thrown at him because
4:38 am
book is thrown at him because they to send a message. they have to send a message. because i come from a community that suffered avalanche that suffered from an avalanche of and the only of knife crime, and the only thing was more terrifying thing that was more terrifying than was acid than knife crime was acid attacks. it's real weapon of terror. >> i think we've look, we've obviously a heck of a lot obviously said a heck of a lot on now. so, matthew, if on this now. so, matthew, if it's all right with you, i'm going whizz us on an going to just whizz us on to an inside story. and i'll start with this. so combined with you on this. so combined efforts british police efforts of the british police and 13 year old and interpol, a 13 year old british has been british schoolgirl has been rescued pakistan and saved rescued from pakistan and saved from to her from a forced marriage to her cousin. alarm was raised by cousin. the alarm was raised by the girl's brave mother, who said pakistan last said we went to pakistan last august holiday. when august on a family holiday. when we i found out my we got there, i found out my husband had tricked us both. his family over our lives and family took over our lives and his said, daughter his sister said, my daughter will be married to a 19 year old cousin though she's cousin even though she's a child. i was desperate to save her, so contacted her, so she contacted a neighbour in england who works for abuse for a women's domestic abuse charity. they alerted the authorities and, well, thankfully, not thankfully, uh, that's not happened. this is happened. matthew this is absolute story and absolute disgraceful story and it how it does make me wonder how commonplace is . commonplace this actually is. >> yeah. i mean, look, i'm actually very glad the systems
4:39 am
worked in this instance because to government its to give the government its credit, two really credit, it's taken two really big should big actions which should have been long time before, been taken a long time before, one which to make forced one of which is to make forced marriage a crime. obviously, child marriage has always been that. and crucially, to raise the age of marriage from 16 to 18, because you used to be able to if your parents signed a piece of paper, you could get married at 16. that's gone. it should have gone a long time ago. so the systems work now. but we must. whether you're on the left or the right of politics, half the cases politics, this is half the cases involve pakistan. we cannot be afraid. seen in afraid. as we've seen in rochdale elsewhere, if we rochdale and elsewhere, if we need need to call what it need to, we need to call what it is, what it is. if this is a particular problem with pakistani and bangladeshi communities, on communities, we need to carry on working we to working and we need to ask questions. when are being questions. when kids are being taken out of school to go to pakistan, why they, why are pakistan, why are they, why are they and this is not this they going? and this is not this is know, and mustn't is not, you know, and we mustn't we never again have a fear we must never again have a fear of being accused racist as a excuse for not tackling a problem which is about the rights women and girls. rights of women and girls. >> can i say that i had
4:40 am
