7:06 pm
bill and the european court of human rights. >> i believe that asking him, including the rwanda part of it all, our plans to tackle illegal migration. let me just answer the question, harry. i believe that our plans are compliant with all our international obligations, including the echr. but i believe but not all right. i believe that security and that border security and controlling illegal migration is more important than our membership of any foreign court. >> well, there you are. it sounded really good, didn't it.7 but did he actually mean it.7 would he seriously consider us saying to the european court of human rights, we can't put up with this. we can't have you stopping planes going to rwanda as you did a year ago. we're actually going to leave. did he actually going to leave. did he actually mean it.7 well i tell you what, i was absolutely certain as soon as i heard about this that what he was doing was telling an audience what they wanted to hear, that he didn't mean it for one little bit.
7:07 pm
well, this afternoon we sought clarification on this and gb news political editor christopher hope asked this question of number 10, downing street . and he asked and he said street. and he asked and he said no. did you know gb news are reporting that rishi sunak would consider leaving the echr sr. and the response was no , only if and the response was no, only if the planes were stopped from going, then we would consider the option of leaving. well, you know, you know, let's , let's know, you know, let's, let's just think about those words one more time. you know, he's is he saying he just wants to look at it, or is he saying he really intends to do something? he's saying if it came to it and the echr was the block on the rwanda scheme, we would consider leaving. yes. so we would consider leaving, not we will leave not we will give the
7:08 pm
british people a referendum . i british people a referendum. i don't believe a single word of it. i haven't believed a single word sunak or any of his predecessors have said on stopping illegal illegal immigration, i'll ask you, what do you think? does sunak actually mean it? love to get your thoughts farage at gb news dot com i'm joined down the line by martin howe qc , barrister by martin howe qc, barrister specialist in european union law and somebody who has become after a period as chairman of lawyers for britain. but someone who's become, i think, increasingly disenchanted with the conservative party and with their statements , you saw what their statements, you saw what he had to say, martin on the sun yesterday. he didn't really mean it , did he? it, did he? >> i think i mean, i agree with you. i think that this was what our american friends would call a complete nothing burger , if he a complete nothing burger, if he was serious, you know, that the european convention on human
7:09 pm
rights has been causing disastrous problems with our ability to control our borders and prevent illegal migration for years , he has had 18 months for years, he has had 18 months as prime minister it was evident when he became prime minister that it was impossible within the context of the echr. and it's, very activist court, to maintain control of our borders. and he's done absolutely nothing about it. indeed, the only thing he's actually done was to sack suella braverman, because she wanted to get serious about the immigration problem. i think my assessment is that he has not the slightest intention of doing anything serious, to stop the boats. despite all his protestations, he will not do what is necessary, at his , you what is necessary, at his, you know, he ordered his whips to get the amendments to his around a bill that might have made it
7:10 pm
more effective. voted down, and, resulted in a bill which will be completely ineffective, and i think is a piece of performance art. it's not actually a serious bill intended to solve the problem. it'sjust a bill intended to solve the problem. it's just a piece of political theatre designed to make him look tough. >> it's also worth remembering there are quite large numbers in his own party who believe that membership of the echr is the right thing for us. and they point out that churchill, you know , over 70 years ago was one know, over 70 years ago was one of its biggest advocates . what of its biggest advocates. what would you say to that, martin howe? >> well, i mean, there's a bit of mythology about this sort of churchill advocacy, but of course , what we have to remember course, what we have to remember is the european convention on human rights. if you actually read the text, is pretty unobjectionable, it contains joins a series of rights that
7:11 pm
almost everyone across the political spectrum would endorse. but the problem has been not not the convention itself , but this been not not the convention itself, but this a court of human rights at strasbourg that spent, you know, the last 70 years since the convention was adopted, creating whole new doctrines and changing the meaning of the original convention. i mean, one of the most interesting things, important things, is the convention actually contains nothing at all about asylum rights. that wasn't a, you know, an oversight that was deliberate because, in fact, the subject of asylum was meant to be dealt with by a parallel convention called the geneva refugees convention. but what's happened is the strasbourg court has created a whole series of doctrines, and that power has gummed up , doctrines, and that power has gummed up, you know, completely gummed up, you know, completely gummed up, you know, completely gummed up the works, when it comes to trying to deport illegal entrants from the uk . illegal entrants from the uk. >> well, certainly how it looks
7:12 pm
to me. martin howe kc thank you again for joining to me. martin howe kc thank you again forjoining us on this again for joining us on this program . well, i'm joined down program. well, i'm joined down the line again by shoaib khan , the line again by shoaib khan, immigration lawyer. and you know the point that martin howe was making is that this was all well and good over 70 years ago. we know why the court was set up. we know what the convention was for. but through judicial activism, it's now on overreach. what say you to that ? what say you to that? >> yeah. hi. i'm not sure what we mean by judicial overreach, really. i mean, if we give, you know, judges a duty that they have to adjudicate cases according to a certain law, then that's a duty they should do that, but secondly, i think, you know, need just know, i mean, we need to just look statistics or the look at the statistics or the figures see it's hardly an figures to see it's hardly an interventionist every interventionist court, every year have two, three, year we have maybe two, three, four at the most judgements against uk. that's against the uk. that's absolutely , terms absolutely nothing, in terms of the percentage cases, only the percentage of cases, only 2, 3, of cases brought against 3, 4% of cases brought against the uk result in a violation or a breach being found , so
7:13 pm
a breach being found, so i think, i mean, if anything, that the court isn't intervention at all, it does apply what's called, you know, the margin of appreciation, or basically deferring to government saying, you know, they're the national governments, they know about their country. they know about their country. they know about the community. they know about their society. need to defer their society. we need to defer to and think the, you to that. and i think the, you know, european court is know, the european court is very, precious about that. very, very precious about that. and very, careful about and very, very careful about that, terms of, that, even in terms of, you know, 39, the interim know, rule 39, the interim orders, injunction, orders, the injunction, as they're the uk, that, they're called in the uk, that, you know, became, you know, a huge highlight the media as huge highlight in the media as well, a handful, huge highlight in the media as well, one, a handful, huge highlight in the media as well, one, two, a handful, huge highlight in the media as well, one, two, three ndful, huge highlight in the media as well, one, two, three inzul, huge highlight in the media as well, one, two, three in a., huge highlight in the media as well, one, two, three in a whole maybe one, two, three in a whole yeah maybe one, two, three in a whole year. think in the whole of year. i think in the whole of 2023, we only had one interim injunction against the and injunction against the uk. and that about, yes . that was about, yes. >> but here's the point. the rwanda bill is very much the centrepiece of what the government wants to do , wants to government wants to do, wants to show the electorate that we have the ability to send planes to rwanda. was an unnamed rwanda. and it was an unnamed judge that court at 10:00 judge from that court at 10:00 at night that stopped the plane from going . that's the point from going. that's the point here, isn't it? >> well, it is , but good for the
7:14 pm
>> well, it is, but good for the judge because look, look what happened. look at the chronology that now know. the high court that we now know. the high court at time, the uk high court at the time, the uk high court found the to be lawful. found the bill to be lawful. obviously those people went obviously those people then went to who stopped it and to the echr who stopped it and said the supreme court has said until the supreme court has had word, the flights had its last word, the flights will allowed go and will not be allowed to go and the court found it to be the supreme court found it to be unlawful. if those people had actually over, we actually been flown over, we would have had to them would have had to bring them back uk supreme court and back the uk supreme court and not on the echr, relying not relying on the echr, relying on convention found on the refugee convention found that have that that it would have been unlawful those have unlawful for those people have to been flown. i mean to be have been flown. so i mean thank the echr judge. our thank you to the echr judge. our high judge wrong at high court judge was wrong at that time. on that day, echr that time. on that day, the echr was our supreme court was right, and our supreme court proved that. so of course good. and imagine the and i mean, just imagine the hassle and the money. if we had flown those asylum flown over all those asylum seekers spent a seekers there, they had spent a year rwanda, and then we had year in rwanda, and then we had to spend money bringing them all back. need thank echr back. so we need to thank echr for that. >> yeah. so what really >> yeah. so what you're really saying is people can just saying is that people can just illegally pay young from all illegally pay young men from all over who their over the world who destroy their identity documents can just illegally into britain in illegally come into britain in unlimited numbers. and there's
7:15 pm
absolutely we can do. absolutely nothing we can do. >> no, what i'm saying is the government needs to act lawfully . the supreme the uk . the supreme court, the uk supreme found that the supreme court, found that the rwanda bill, as it was at the time, was unlawful. and look at what parliament instead of what parliament did instead of actually something on actually doing something on the ground making changes, actually doing something on the growyou making changes, actually doing something on the growyou know,ng changes, actually doing something on the growyou know, waved changes, actually doing something on the growyou know, waved a1anges, actually doing something on the growyou know, waved a magic, they you know, waved a magic wand. declared wand. rwanda is hereby declared safe . sorry, but that's safe. sorry, but that's absolutely ridiculous. that's such childish, immature thing such a childish, immature thing to do. the point is, you liaise with rwanda, liaise with the with rwanda, you liaise with the courts, work collaboratively courts, you work collaboratively with try to with the parties, you try to make safe. you bring those make it safe. you bring those guarantees before the supreme court. you just court. again, you don't just ignore supreme ignore the supreme court decision, in decision, reverse it in parliament. the of parliament. what's the point of the supreme then? every the supreme court then? every time declares something the time it declares something the government then government doesn't want, then then next day issues then parliament next day issues an you know, an order saying, you know, i mean, so think that's mean, so i think that's completely ridiculous. it just shows government, shows that the government, i mean, government isn't mean, even the government isn't claiming it's compliant mean, even the government isn't clainthe it's compliant mean, even the government isn't clainthe echr.t's compliant mean, even the government isn't clainthe echr. they�*npliant mean, even the government isn't clainthe echr. they failedt mean, even the government isn't clainthe echr. they failed to with the echr. they failed to make declaration make that declaration in parliament. bring parliament. as soon as you bring legislation, court, if you do believe, james cleverly believe, as james cleverly should have, if you believed it was in compliance with our
7:16 pm
international obligations, he could have made that declaration. he refused to. he knows it's not compliant either . knows it's not compliant either. >> i think you're probably right. shoaib khan, thank you >> i think you're probably ringutting ib khan, thank you >> i think you're probably ringutting the han, thank you >> i think you're probably ringutting the argument. you >> i think you're probably ringutting the argument. well, for putting the argument. well, folks, heard sides folks, you've heard both sides of the echr argument. very interesting that shoaib khan says, what's the point of the supreme court? i'm beginning to ask that question myself . i ask that question myself. i wonder whether these blairite reforms have just basically handed power away from parliaments and elected governments . overall, governments to judges. overall, ihave governments to judges. overall, i have to say i have no doubt that the echr is completely outdated and that we should leave it. that's my view in a moment i'll be joined by london bridge attack hero bridge terrorism attack hero steve gallant, who's got a really disturbing story about what is going on in britain's prisons
7:20 pm
the studio now. he's an author who was convicted of murder back in 2005, was in high security prisons, and went on to become a hero of the london bridge terror attacks. but steve has, i think, attacks. but steve has, i think, a deeply disturbing story. what he saw firsthand in franklin high security prison and he now believes is happening right throughout our prison service . throughout our prison service. steve, there were rival gangs inside this prison. islamist gangs against other gangs. >> yeah, well, you could say non—muslim, predominantly white groups of people. yeah. so, i mean, there's a lot of people. no i spent a very long time in prison. yeah, but one of the first prisons i went to was hmp frankland, which was relatively quiet at time until we had quiet at the time until we had an influx of people being convicted terrorist related convicted of terrorist related offences. at first, some of the prisoners were there, took an offence to their presence and they set about sort of attacking them and stuff like that, and then sort of very light for tat skirmishes started off, but then more started influx into the,
7:21 pm
more started to influx into the, into the prisons, numbers started to grow and they started to retaliate. and at that time we'd seen some pretty grotesque violence. i mean, some some guys had oil poured over their head, and there was a retaliatory attack of somebody getting attack of somebody else getting hot, poured over their head. hot, oil poured over their head. and just was bad stuff. and it just it was bad stuff. yeah. it just exploded into yeah. and it just exploded into this large, gang war this quite a large, gang war between two, two, two sides. >> but we've now got a situation where 18% of the prison population are muslim. as you said a moment ago, the numbers in prison are getting bigger and bigger and bigger , and the move bigger and bigger, and the move towards a quite extreme form of islam is there too. isn't it? >> yeah. i mean, my concern is that, look, you know, everyone has a right to convert to anything they want. you know, we have from have a free society, but from what saw in the prison system what i saw in the prison system was converting was people weren't converting because suddenly become because suddenly they become pious. people converting pious. i saw people converting because were because some of them were scared, coerced into scared, some were coerced into that. thought, this that. some thought, well, this is most powerful gang and is the most powerful gang and this i can get this is where i can get protection. and so they joined it. it in my, in my
7:22 pm
it. so it was in my, in my opinion, for the wrong reasons. and when i look at those, those figures now, i to what figures now, i wonder to what extent many those people extent how many of those people have reason? have converted for that reason? well, muslim well, 20% of the muslim population white christian population are white christian prisoners originally who have converted . converted in prison. >> they taking over? are >> are they taking over? are these i mean, there's these groups? i mean, there's even prisons of even talk in some prisons of them having their own sharia courts. >> yeah. well, i mean, look, i've never come across that because it's a very funny, dynamic place as the prison system things are hidden system and things are hidden behind doors, you can go behind closed doors, you can go behind closed doors, you can go behind door with behind your cell door with a group people and do what you group of people and do what you want. for example. i hear about that myself, i have that stuff myself, but i have seen of people being seen a lot of people being bullied, being influenced and you people. yeah, you know, some people. yeah, coerced no coerced into conversions, no doubt about that. >> the authorities >> what are the authorities doing? prison doing? what are the prison governors you know, governors doing? what you know, what the prison officers what are the prison officers doing are they scared, you doing or are they scared, you know, called racist if know, being called racist if they act? >> it seemed a lot of >> it seemed as a lot of timidity going on. i in timidity going on. i mean, in one prison, was in a camp one prison, i was in a camp called hmp at the time. called hmp gartree at the time. there i think, that allowed there was, i think, that allowed a number muslim prisoners to a number of muslim prisoners to start in the education start praying in the education block, is fine, then
7:23 pm
block, which is fine, but then it spread the wings and you it spread onto the wings and you know, again, know, yeah, know, again, you know, yeah, you're pray. but the you're okay to pray. but the problem these problem was that some of these gangs at five gangs were praying at five minutes been attacking minutes earlier, been attacking people. very people. and it's very intimidating for people on the wings. i felt was it was wings. and i felt it was it was done to appease, but it wasn't respected at all. it just done to appease, but it wasn't respesawi at all. it just done to appease, but it wasn't respesaw authority just done to appease, but it wasn't respesaw authority as just done to appease, but it wasn't respesaw authority as weak for they saw authority as weak for allowing that. so it allowing to do that. so it wasn't respected. and if people have radicalised prison have been radicalised in prison in in which you say they in the way in which you say they are not just in cathay, but in cat b prisons well. cat b prisons as well. >> all of which makes me wonder, what putting out onto the what are we putting out onto the streets? yeah, i mean, streets? well yeah, i mean, that's that's the obvious concern. that's that's the obvious conlarn. look, i saw it all >> i mean, look, i saw it all those years ago, and if i saw it, then surely the authorities saw the lack of action saw it. but the lack of action was profound. i mean, i don't know, mean, i know there's know, i mean, i know there's been some, some efforts to do something but when something about it, but when you look state prison look at the state of the prison system, when look at the system, when you look at the staff, know, lack of staff, staff, you know, lack of staff, you lack of you know, there's lack of attention, of resources, attention, lack of resources, bad morale, bad morale, and it's getting worse. bad morale, bad morale, and it's gettiit's worse. bad morale, bad morale, and it's gettiit's getting worse. bad morale, bad morale, and it's gettiit's getting worse worse. bad morale, bad morale, and it's gettiit's getting worse and worse. and it's getting worse and worse and worse. how these things and worse. how were these things which i saw all those ago which i saw all those years ago being tackled? know, being tackled? you know, it doesn't good. doesn't doesn't look good.
7:24 pm

catherine thank you for joining me on the show. so time and again, we've just said we're not going to put these taxes on. we're going to kick the can down the road. why are we doing it now? and what would it mean for consumers as we're doing it now. >> because we probably should have done it on the 1st of january 2021, le. when brexit occurred. but in fact, we weren't ready and it's taken us a long time to get ready. and as you said, we've delayed it five times. what you're seeing is charges, common user charges. if you want the technical terms and they're going to be levied in order to cover the cost of what's called biosecurity , for what's called biosecurity, for goods coming in to the uk from the eu, but also from elsewhere across the globe, via dover . across the globe, via dover. >> okay, i get the argument about biosecurity. you know, we could be taking in food or plants from parts of the world where we have genuine risks when
7:32 pm
it comes to french brie. for argument's sake, which we have been importing in very large quantities for a huge period of time, very often from the same producers and the same transporters . there is something transporters. there is something known globally as the trusted trader scheme. so if the brie is coming from central france through a firm that we know , through a firm that we know, what why on earth is there now a bigger biosecurity risk than there was when we were members of the european union? >> well, this is a one of the consequences of brexit. we've left the single market. we've left the single market. we've left the single market. we've left the customs union. and so we've got to secure our own borders , and there's a cost borders, and there's a cost attached. and the question is who's going to pay that cost? is it be for by the it going to be paid for by the taxpayer, is it going to be taxpayer, or is it going to be paid for importer? and paid for by the importer? and the taking the the government's taking the decision? to be paid decision? it's going to be paid for the importer. there for by the importer. and there are charges depending for by the importer. and there are level charges depending for by the importer. and there are level ofarges depending for by the importer. and there are level of risk.1 depending for by the importer. and there are level of risk. and ending for by the importer. and there are level of risk. and eveng on the level of risk. and even if goods aren't inspected, if your goods aren't inspected, you still going to have you are still going to have to pay you are still going to have to pay charge . it's £29
7:33 pm
pay that charge. it's £29 a throw, capped at £145. and the fact is , for big business, they fact is, for big business, they will afford to incorporate that charge. small businesses. it comes with a cost attached and it will cause problems for small businesses in answer to your question, why are we doing it when you've got a whole bunch of traders that we've been trading with forever ? well, part of the with forever? well, part of the answer is, in fact, because the french do it to us and therefore there is not a level playing field. and so what you're seeing is that from the 1st of january 2021, the french, the germans, anyone in the eu have been levying charges on british goods going into the eu and in fact, it's been pretty tough on british, companies because they have been subject to charges and the goods go into france or germany, but their rivals , goods germany, but their rivals, goods coming into the uk have not been subject to the checks and charges. and now the government is rolling it all out in order to have a level playing field.
7:34 pm
>> yeah, i have to say, just because the french are behaving badly, which not unusual, is badly, which is not unusual, is no my view, to punish no reason, in my view, to punish british consumers. but another point that's really important about you're right, about this is you're right, we're outside of the european union's single market. we're outside of the common agricultural policy , which of agricultural policy, which of course means we could be importing cut flowers and foodstuff from all over the world. and we've now got the freedom to remove the tariffs that were on them that we had as members of a single market. and from what i can see, catherine, unless i'm wrong, we haven't really done that. >> i'm afraid you're wrong, actually. but there's two things. there are two things at stake here. one, the common user charge. the one we've just been talking about is there to cover the costs of biosecurity. the costs of setting up border control posts, all of which cost money. that's entirely different to tariffs as far as tariffs are
7:35 pm
concerned. we have a global tariff , and concerned. we have a global tariff, and it's entirely up to us what on what goods we decide to put the tariffs on provided, provided that we impose the same tariffs, whether the goods come from, say, guatemala or whether they come from india, the different rules apply from goods coming from the eu because we have a trade deal with the eu andifs have a trade deal with the eu and it's zero zero trade deal, which means zero tariffs and zero quotas. >> yeah, but my yeah i understand the biosecurity point right. >> of course i understand that. and there are parts of the world where we ought to be very careful. i absolutely understand that. that completely. but that. i get that completely. but my is if we're paying my point is if we're paying tariffs on cut flowers, that are being flown in from kenya, we could if we wanted to just get rid of those tariffs and we haven't done it, we could, we could as long as we don't just do for kenya, but we do it do it for kenya, but we do it for goods from south for goods coming from south africa else that is
7:36 pm
africa or anywhere else that is absolutely our choice. >> that is one of the >> and that is one of the benefits, you might say, from brexit is that we can set our own tariffs. but what the charges that we're talking about at the moment are nothing to do with tariffs. they are just the charges crossing. the charges for goods crossing. the crossing . crossing. >> i completely i completely understand i get that understand that i get that point, but i wanted to broaden it out rather more , yeah. well it out rather more, yeah. well you can see why there are many frustrations on both sides of the brexit divide . catherine, the brexit divide. catherine, thank you very much indeed for joining me . thank you. now, joining me. thank you. now, disgraceful. it's been called the ministry of defence, evicting dozens of families from homes with just two months notice. now we have mod homes all over the country. and of course . as you know, there's course. as you know, there's been a significant reduction in the number of people serving in our armed forces over the last 14 years. and so many of these properties are put for lets

7:39 pm
mention it, but we do mention it . immigrants. >> yeah, well , . immigrants. >> yeah, well, i think the word that would be used would be either refugees or asylum seekers. but you're absolutely right. that is what is going on in your case. i'm 90% certain of it, and it's happening in many parts of the country as huge numbers of people come to the uk and we feel an obligation to house them . what is your next house them. what is your next step going to be folks , we've step going to be folks, we've been to the solicitor, we've taken legal advice , basically we taken legal advice, basically we just had an initial meeting. we really don't know what to do, neighbours have been to estate agents in the area and there's nothing available . nothing available. >> yeah, absolutely nothing around here. >> and you know what do you do? >> and you know what do you do? >> i've got a publishing contract. i've got to actually get 90,000 words to my publisher by christmas. i mean, this is history. imperial russian history. imperial russian history. and it's not something that you can knock off in five
