3:29 pm
widow still does not have an understanding of who killed her husband. and stafford in the speech a minute later actually said that the lack of that murder being solved, that murdered police officer and some of us believe that's justice because when they kill us, nobody goes to prison. it's an extremely controversial statement. they're saying that the failure to solve a murder is justice and this is a group that was given a load of money by the national lottery . that's national lottery. that's correct. they've given a quarter of £1 million to run this initiative to commemorate the 1981 riots. and people could apply for up to £4,000 from that fund to run these events to commemorate the riots and to commemorate the riots and to commemorate the riots and to commemorate the story around it. this speech given by stafford scott was called war in a babylon . it was held earlier babylon. it was held earlier this month. some other comments he made very political, very controversial. he also that controversial. he also said that the quality ashes and human rights commission was set out to hang jeremy corbyn over the anti—semitism scandal. mr scott also said that tories don't give

4:12 pm
have been in the court behind me , patrick, is because the government is presenting this case for a national emergency declaration , the fact that declaration, the fact that things are so serious that now these planning objections that could be relied on by councils in a bid to try to stop the development, in a bid to try to stop the development , former raf development, former raf wethersfield up at raf scampton. well the government just needs to declare this a national emergency for that effectively to be accepted by the courts and then they have this rule under class. q it's described as that allows them to ignore the objection signs of local planners and as long as it sits on government land and crown property like of a ministry of defence base , then there is defence base, then there is pretty much nothing that a local authority can do about this. despite braintree district council other objectors to other accommodation centres across the

yesterday. the home office has decided only 13% of asylum claims lodged by migrants who arrived in small boats since the beginning of 2018. so how long is it going to for take us to process and get through all of these people? well given the large influx that's expected , large influx that's expected, the government is turning to old military bases to house asylum seekers. we know about all of this, don't they? they claim that are overflowing, that hotels are overflowing, that hotels are overflowing, that expensive and that it's too expensive and we've a lot here as we've been doing a lot here as a channel about the historic raf scampton , which being scampton site, which is being for prepared use as accommodation. it's despite local opposition and some other sites as well were taking the government to court, which is why today thanks to our home security editor mark white, being the court, we could being at the court, we could bnng being at the court, we could bring and bring you that breaking news and those but those breaking figures. okay but these sites, such as raf's scampton, for example, the government will have powers if it does invoke a national emergency to essentially run roughshod over campaign groups, over local people who are saying, look, this can't be good

the black community and he continues to be a hero. and i said , i look at him as a brother said, i look at him as a brother and as a brother. we may not always see eye to eye, but the simple fact is we must continue the good fight and not look at each other and try to marginalise one another. what is the good fight there then? because if i was just, well, just— because if i was just, well, iaa having— because if i was just, well, just having looked at that from the outside— just having looked at that from the outside right— just having looked at that from the outside right .— just having looked at that from the outside right . the takeaway the outside right. the takeaway naaa— the outside right. the takeaway that .— the outside right. the takeaway that . gaa— the outside right. the takeaway that i got from _ the outside right. the takeaway that i got from it— the outside right. the takeaway that i got from it would be if there— that i got from it would be if there ewe— that i got from it would be if there were young— that i got from it would be if there were young black people in mae— there were young black people in that audience,— there were young black people in that audience, which no doubt there— that audience, which no doubt there ewe— that audience, which no doubt there were, that— that audience, which no doubt there were, that you for politicians— there were, that you for politicians hate you and the peace— politicians hate you and the peace ae— politicians hate you and the police are racist.— politicians hate you and the police are racist. and it's okay to awa— police are racist. and it's okay to awe them— police are racist. and it's okay to hwt them . — police are racist. and it's okay to hurt them . not- police are racist. and it's okay to hurt them . \t:::t to hurt them. not at all. i think he was saying there's element now again, what bears that out? look at the casey report. look at the scarman report, the macpherson report. we can go through report after a report that says about institutional racism. and let me tell you, this institution lies. racism is just not where the police is around society . and
