why did you take that course. i've always been very aggressive. i was a pole in sort of very political house so my mother would say i'm my father before he was killed of parent members of the communist and then when he was a young teenager maybe 13 of boards he'd one day my mother said to me you know roger you're going to come up against difficult decisions that you have to make you know and when you do. strip. joint tenancy party that has a decision that's been made and then you have to reset it you have to look at these questions from every pippen and the kind that some won't commands. and then you will down the day and you will have done the difference whether it's on certain of to die or hunts next because you simply do the lines think ours will lessen the mom she's been saying. that's and that's and.

if you center. imagine if every prayer in the world with satan was in the sails of the child my mom and since then you have to educate yourself nuff to take stringent care to chart find out what's out there and before you make a decision. and then having made that was that you have to do why her name was brightest. in all beings deserve their pretty than their parents. and the. impact she'd been beans in knots and universal declaration from the united nations parents so she actually believes that the. codes of thought that the nation should be implemented saved

an exception 8 instance of system of instruction if they were. almost all of the problems that we've given race that just care in open arms. but of course the only dogs the 1000000000 plus 2 not all of them in the ones. they believe in the rights of the wealthy and the author and they couldn't give anybody in substance this is quite clear they paid lip service to because it's politically convenient. but the missing don't trump my pencil mark. on the pretty beat in human rights. not interesting that's not even there of citizens they couldn't couldn't came to peace with the citizens of the united states and. never mind citizens of any other than i you've been quite vocal about your opinion

about donald trump you among other things you called him a mass this troyer of everything that any of us might love what do you mean. don't track has no interest for instance and nobody he has never been interested in . he has no interest in compassion he has no interest in me and. he has no interest in the chair he has no interest in the post you have special interest in geography gets no interest in a cup of tea he has no interest in why he has no interest in these things or he has an interest in his needs in several and he's. and isn't tani can stand for his life to be one big reality t.v. show where he said in the developing it's good about him so he has a very very small mean spirited it never paid of them out on their well

that i would like to him because each of to be 19 is when we. grew very rare. axioms no and wisdom is joe is joe biden the better choice joe biden is no different joe it's a puppet he's just he's he's the other glove puppet you know that both they're both culprits the monster that lives in the suckers which he hates well i've been trying to describe which is which has created the monster that it's the united states of america and you know the seats that come from for 3 or 400 years got it all comes from european colonialism the british empire was a disgusting monstrosity we were pouring we could we didn't exactly what the americans are doing now and we did it for several 100 years along with the punch he was now the spanish and the germans and the dutch and the better chance than we and

we we went around the planet stealing rape and destroying. everything just so that we or few of us could be a stream even of the constitution in the united states was very carefully written by the founding fathers to make absolutely certain that power would never orleans people understand and certainly it's not going to deal with the current system he has used to. jump and. sniping at each other it's called the outputs and when it's where you keep a conversation so tightly focused on in this case there is action but it's completely elections rather than the picture around it it's the going to make sure that they don't let the people look at that. because it because

if they did start looking acid they would start undermining the power base and they would start removing. from the very very wealthy and you don't you don't have to be able to do simple arithmetic to see fit once what i say is. look at not a shoot at you seem quite involved in the palestinian one you have been very vocal against israel's occupation policy and that backfired people like is being anti semitic and it was specially because you showed support for the boycott this invest in sanction movement to be the yes move it but why did you get involved because the palestinian people lost. back in 2006 in 2000 fine. it's palestinian civil society starts to repeat yes and they asked people who were not mistaken and i asked

anybody in the rest of the. to join. in and find. see if they could get paid say human rights for them so quite clearly i'm not and it's not safe never. never spoke a single absence and it's a word or has in mind forgotten once it's mentioned so what's in my head in. the prop and counted machine is rate is run is huge and he spent millions and millions and millions of dollars simply trying to spread his mind that anybody can speaks against israeli government forms it is nonsense and some have criticized you saying that sometimes you have conflicting positions. like on one side you are

defending the rights of the palestinians and then on the other hand it seems that you supported russia russia's move in crimea and many a crane is would tell you well that's an occupied land as well at the moment so how can you explain that. and explain it simply that the narrative accepted in the west about the russians annexation of crimea is complete. as you only have to look at what actually happened in crime had a web crime it came from crime and was created up to the 2nd one. so it's been a deeply divided country with the south and east being predominantly occupied by russian speaking. people who adhere to the kinds of russian for additions and the most recent so when they missed this illegal. the whole

question made protests and what happened is open to interpretation and i'm sure there will be many history is written up anyway but we know that the victorian unions and the cia were complicit in setting up this western. aid all cia and united states government opus reiki against the jews you know that jade's president and government of the crane back in the day or he is and the imposition of this new government so the country became entirely fractured that. there are them our staffs other than the excepted western narrative which was overlooked with screening the people of ukraine from the russian comply however the russian government was put in a very difficult situation because suddenly now there was a government in kiev that was extremely right wing controlled entirely

by the americans and they were concerned about civil the poem about their own supply of oil. cust didn't see you say she's cold or down so i'm not so that there was a population in something that was still cool the crimea because people who remember the war has made history who did not want this new government to the most of these not the friends of the people of the current man. and so actually the people of the crying man well code for 98 percent of them said we don't want to be any off of this new illegal government of the criteria we wish to join. the russian federation we want to be russia please send not excuse me not the shock was gone will be an exception in the crimea and such since

it's cool that school be an exception but russia now the legal niceties so what were the. contracts between khrushchev the ukraine back in the years when problem. and that's constitutional or something but i do know that. the people who live there say no we want nothing to do least no city no people in the eastern ocean it wasn't quite so easy for them i'm not sure why this is no where but when i'm standing in these you cannot you cannot talk about a 70 year old. israeli occupation of palestine and the relatively recent annexation or change of power in crimea in the same breath they are in this highly different things one is that there are it's not as if the palestinians in 1948 suddenly said could you send

a load to jewish people from from north eastern europe please. throw us out of our homes and 700000 of us and sent us that we have to get off the land because they are going to make a jewish state and they don't want those that didn't happen there was no home with 98 percent pumice didn't suddenly say oh you know come on come in terms for us from the russians are throwing out the people who live in the ground near there supporting i'm sorry to interrupt because i just want to ask about a few other issues and we're going to run out of time so i wanted to go back to do you k. a bit you know the labor party is under accusations of being added to semantic allegation that jeremy corbyn is the man who took the labor party in that direction do you think that these are a fairly gazin is there

a labor party anti semite the conspiracy or. the plan. to spread free and submitted. i mean story about people like me. and and about like the poets in england. brought it probably censored and came out of the ministry of its strategic. intent of reading this was completely respected and very well. and succeeded totally in destroying jeremy colvin's chances of becoming the next prime minister of the u.k. churches that were very good seemingly a year before 2 years before what have they absolutely use the anti semitic smear. campaign to destroy jeremy coatings chances of

winning the election and they did it very very successfully and i succeeded in destroying jeremy cool women in my view made terrible mistakes along the way the biggest mistake that he and the labor party made was to the labor party conference in 2090 where they fail to totally dismiss the new i h r a n international public roles remember alliance definition of bentley summonses of the rewriting. and cio that nobody even heard of and that is completely irrelevant in sense of history of politics sort of. definition offensive semitism so includes any criticism oh the policies of the government of the state of israel. and the labor poets he did knock. say rubbish throw out the bill

dosed it and jeremy colvin did not resign and should have done he's sure it he should on those grounds of resigning as leader of the potency anybody with a hawk also should have resigned at that point because it is such a huge and numbs how come how come criticizing israeli israeli policy of occupation and satans which is what they're operating how come and he said mincing. that would be like calling criticism of the south african adminstration before the end of the post say stuff africa and christian all and christian yeah we could like courting anti christian oh you know you just hate white people don't hate the system that europe moves in. against the

cover of us pin on your religion just as i have nothing against jewish people. you know i'm an atheist so other concepts cripes in the mist you know the mystification if you want to call it would probably. to any of the ever how many religions or any religion and it just doesn't make any sense to me but i wouldn't dream of sending people that they call believe whatever they want to believe in the meat well it's plot a look people do in texas by the way so said the neighbor labor and also the labor party under the new leadership of kissed on backed down from this bridge to keep this. case in the high court just a few weeks ago. and the documentary that john well made about it a year earlier and just where it's now saying he made he made soup jeremy cool and

. these are rabid zionists and their are involved in a smokescreen a human being to cover up their violent more crimes that have been perpetrate seats every single day against the people of palestine by . their. ministration initiative in the state of israel has been going on for 7 millions since none since or since and it's nonsense to hear expansion so anybody of good conscience and good heart houses continue in the line and do you think labor can recover from this if labor get its labor yes maybe it you know actually this fight she's taking place it's really a fight between. can the truth is i know it's not just rhythm but the meat you are

generally control now by very very very rich very very powerful people and it's no coincidence that jeff bezos which many thousands 160000000000 dollars now odom's the washington post on his young one man and influence who printed all the papers or by. the times of london it's a. huge school forums probably hermione's the times and they all come from a member anymore you know but civic this is a fight between. it's it's well it's your lunch in 94 it's a fight between we the people who live winston smith sound. and the ministry of truth who are telling you mine's 24 ounce of 37 they simply and who are pulling the wool of all of the others but with the people who continue to do so until we stand

up and say we need education and we need a system and we need because we are so we can buy you. turn your neo liberal economic policies that it's hard to see them through. which is why a lot leg movement nazis. actually die streets of american citizens is something to assume someone planked them from the you know struggle we're going to have to wrap up very soon bafta questions to ask you and which aging gears here somehow back in 97 did not and you wrote mother and you osted that song mother should i trust the government have you found the answer to that. yes of course not unless of course i'm a wager no you know or danish or somewhere where there is
