7:40 pm
sort far right conservative sort of far right conservative if if you want free speech, if you if you want free speech, because obviously the were incredibly keen on free speech. of course. yes. i mean , that's of course. yes. i mean, that's oi— of course. yes. i mean, that's oi tno— of course. yes. i mean, that's one of the things— of course. yes. i mean, that's one of the things that we try to do one of the things that we try to to witn— one of the things that we try to to wit tno— one of the things that we try to do with the summer school is to mix— do with the summer school is to mix it— do with the summer school is to mix it an— do with the summer school is to mix it an a— do with the summer school is to mix it up a little— do with the summer school is to mix it up a little bit. 'vt: c mix it up a little bit. and it is onon— mix it up a little bit. and it is open to— mix it up a little bit. and it is open to quite a wide variety of people. tend to get people of people. we tend to get people who have all sorts of different backgrounds, sorts of backgrounds, all sorts of different and different political views and interests. that the interests. and we find that the common starting point of an interest in freedom, i mean, obviously you're going to a living freedom school, then you've got that starting point. but really, there but beyond that, really, there is for discussion is so much for discussion and that's the sessions that's what makes the sessions interesting. even discussions around and free speech around freedom and free speech and how work. i think are and how they work. i think are very much open to interpretation . so to give example, . so to give an example, this year going to do a session year we're going to do a session on the hecklers veto, which is the commonly happen the protest that commonly happen outside university cities edinburgh and cambridge recently , which were on the show last week , where people are trying to week, where people are trying to stop films being being shown . stop films being being shown. and you think, well, on the one handifs and you think, well, on the one hand it's terrible . the hecklers hand it's terrible. the hecklers
7:41 pm
are trying to shut down someone's free speech, but on the other hand, some of the things that are happening to these banned from these hecklers being banned from campus from attending campus or banned from attending protests, you think? well, actually , that's mitigating actually, that's mitigating against freedom . so against their freedom. so i think these things are complicated . and one the complicated. and one of the things that want do the things that we want to do at the school is try and delve into school is to try and delve into things a little bit. and really try to get the people that attend work these attend to work through these issues themselves rather than attend to work through these issues tithe selves rather than attend to work through these issues tithe answers. ther than attend to work through these issues tithe answers. yeahhan attend to work through these issues tithe answers. yeah and assume the answers. yeah and what do your peers v4i;ct“ and what do your peers respond to you— what do your peers respond to yoa iiko— what do your peers respond to yoa iiko wnon— what do your peers respond to you like when you when you say yoa— you like when you when you say you're involved— you like when you when you say you're involved in— you like when you when you say you're involved in a— you like when you when you say you're involved in a free speech onont— you're involved in a free speech onont ant— you're involved in a free speech onont ant yoa— you're involved in a free speech event and you're going to be snoaking— event and you're going to be snoaking at— event and you're going to be speaking at it?— event and you're going to be speaking at it? i— event and you're going to be speaking at it? i mean, you speaking at it? i mean, do you get speaking at it? i mean, do you got maon— speaking at it? i mean, do you get much opprobrium from from people— get much opprobrium from from people-own— get much opprobrium from from pebble-own ago— get much opprobrium from from pebble-own ago i - get much opprobrium from from people own age ? \ti§i "tiacy people your own age? not really. i people your own age? not really. i think— people your own age? not really. i think before i started to talk about it, there was maybe i was about it, there was maybe i was a bit more nervous about what will people think and what reputation will i get. but actually, you know, most people know and i like to think i'm know me and i like to think i'm not this terrible person. and they that i wouldn't be they know that i wouldn't be involved in if it wasn't. so involved in it if it wasn't. so if anything, stimulates if anything, it just stimulates debate gets more people debate and gets more people

7:50 pm
who suffer with gender dysphoria . have absolutely no . i also have absolutely no doubt there lot of men for doubt there are a lot of men for whom it's fetish whom it's a fetish and apparently we're allowed to apparently we're not allowed to talk about that. yeah, i mean, the talk about that. yeah, i mean, to pebble— talk about that. yeah, i mean, the people making— talk about that. yeah, i mean, the people making the- yeah, i mean, the people making the making the fuss the people making the making the iass-making— the people making the making the fuss-making the— the people making the making the fuss making the violent fuss and making the violent tnnoats— fuss and making the violent tnnoats .— fuss and making the violent threats , they— fuss and making the violent threats , they don't to be threats, they don't seem to be tno— threats, they don't seem to be to son— threats, they don't seem to be to sont oi— threats, they don't seem to be the sort of genuine trans women wno— the sort of genuine trans women wno tast— the sort of genuine trans women wno iast want— the sort of genuine trans women who just want to _ the sort of genuine trans women who just want to pass in society ant— who just want to pass in society ant got— who just want to pass in society ant got on— who just want to pass in society ant got on witn— who just want to pass in society and get on with their lives . and get on with their lives. they— and get on with their lives. inoy — and get on with their lives. inoy to — and get on with their lives. they seem to be more like women like they seem to be more like women iiko mo— they seem to be more like women iiko mo wno— they seem to be more like women like me who are— they seem to be more like women like me who are just— they seem to be more like women like me who are just out there iooking— like me who are just out there iooking ion— like me who are just out there iooking ion a— like me who are just out there looking for a ruck— like me who are just out there looking for a ruck . tv4i;wit v“ ytiuit v“ looking for a ruck. yeah, yeah, totally . absolutely. i think. totally. absolutely. i think. i think that's that's part of the anger they feel it's quite often because it is in some ways motivated by a fetish which i think, you know, there's no surprise in a way that this movement has emerged at around the same time as free online has become a huge industry. so i think, you know, when you have a woman who says, no, i don't believe you, i think that's actually taken as a very visceral, personal reaction, which i think for a lot which i think accounts for a lot of the anger. and do you think mono-ii— of the anger. and do you think tnono-ii to— of the anger. and do you think tnono-ii to a— of the anger. and do you think there'll be a turning- ; and do you think there'll be a turning point soon wnono— there'll be a turning point soon wnono onoonony— there'll be a turning point soon where everyone settles down a bit where everyone settles down a

8:36 pm
that sentence, they need, we need to reintroduce them into society in a way that doesn't stigmatise them. so currently at 11 years old, if you commit an offence, that criminal conviction can stay with you for the rest of your life. so it's like a life sentence by installing agents through the stigma that's associated with it. um, when if you look at the history, not so much the prison service because don't actually think anybody is bothered about how what they get called because at the moment, um, 80% of british prisons are on 22 hours a day bang up . british prisons are on 22 hours a day bang up. now british prisons are on 22 hours a day bang up . now what that a day bang up. now what that really means is the un wrote a ruling through nelson mandela actually is incarceration and it said anything over 22 hours a day bang up was could be identified as torture . and identified as torture. and that's what we've got going on in british prisons. we've got these things they call 22 hours bang up just to just to clarify, that means 22 hours being locked up. is that in solitary confinement- up. is that in solitary- confinement-confined to confinement or just confined to a eerb— confinement or just confined to a eebb b — confinement or just confined to a eebb e se— confinement or just confined to
8:37 pm
a cell ? so cells— confinement or just confined to a cell ? so cells are- confinement or just confined to a cell ? c a”c; a”c; a cell? so cells are are solitary confinement . that's solitary confinement. that's literally that's literally the current. so you you mentioned about staff leaving in their droves. uh, chris grayling started the rehabilitation revolution . and literally so revolution. and literally so many prison staff left at that point or got fired and they've never been able to recoup that level. the level of staffing from pre 2010. and so then when covid hit, they recruited loads more staff. but because the lockdown conditions were such so such a level of like 23.5 hour a day, bang up , such a level of like 23.5 hour a day, bang up, as soon as those restrictions got eased a little bit, all the staff left because they'd never been used to deaung they'd never been used to dealing with prisoners before. so i can tell the public via your show that they're being fipped your show that they're being ripped off on a royal level because all the supply chains that are going into education and therapeutic etcetera , they and therapeutic etcetera, they can't get access to prisoners
8:38 pm
because they're behind a door and the regime is such they call it restricted regime . um, and if it restricted regime. um, and if you imagine , like you said about you imagine, like you said about rapists and you know, and this is the, this is the sort of media top line of it that's that's not who we lock up predominantly. we do mean who we lock up are the, the, you know, drug addicts , mentally ill drug addicts, mentally ill neurodiverse , etcetera, neurodiverse, etcetera, predominantly. and all we're doing is neglecting them, you know , we're they call these know, we're they call these distraction packs colouring books and remedial like maths and english being shoved underneath the door without any teachers, without any teacher support . and then those people support. and then those people are coming out in our society literally unrehabilitated and we've paid the same amount of money as what we did when the staffing was at full regime . staffing was at full regime. yeah. this seems this seems it seems ridiculous to not rehabilitate people and if people are locked up for for, 22 hours a day, like you say, there aren't the opportunities to, you know, even if there are classes , people going running
8:39 pm
, people going in running programs , they won't have that programs, they won't have that that access , that contact with that access, that contact with the to run those the prisoner to run those classes breaking that classes without breaking that link. you know, people are going to link. you know, people are going be me— link. you know, people are going be ebb— link. you know, people are going to come out and— c you know, people are going to come out and re—offend again wbbb— to come out and re—offend again wbrb bargbary— to come out and re—offend again wbrb bargbary er— to come out and re—offend again with burglary or whatever aegwbebbbve — with burglary or whatever acquisitive crime to feed a drug babbb— acquisitive crime to feed a drug babbb . — acquisitive crime to feed a drug babbb. webb— acquisitive crime to feed a drug habit. well, for— acquisitive crime to feed a drug habit. well, for 4— acquisitive crime to feed a drug habit. well, for 4 in- acquisitive crime to feed a drug habit. �*fb�*cgc ”' " �*0 habit. well, for 4 in 10 people leaving british prisons today leave homeless . right. they're leave homeless. right. they're given tents to go into the community with the probation service who are supposed to be this body that literally works with prisoners , you know, with prisoners, you know, supporting them and planning for their release. there are 100% capacity that's what they say. what i know from basically people that are coming out of prison is that they're completely neglected. again, they're not even getting basic like , um, sort of appointments, like, um, sort of appointments, referrals to drug centres. i mean , under this government mean, under this government there , they've literally closed there, they've literally closed down about two thirds of all drug rehabilitation centres in this country as well. so the services just aren't there . and
8:40 pm
services just aren't there. and i think, um , i think recently i think, um, i think recently dominic raab, who's no longer there and i'm very grateful for that. i've never really get political in my life, but um, what, what basically he was doing is fanning the flames around sensational and polarised views of like, everybody's a murderer in prison and then pinning the need to remove us from the european courts of human rights on the back of it. and that is literally getting politics meddling into sentence icing, which i think is really dangerous because the public is educated via the media. and i have to say, it's not an education in at all. i mean, it's just literally it doesn't work. it doesn't work like, um, it's literally you're going to be paying for it. they're proposal is 20,000 new prison places all of this neglect and we need to start to talk about what works regarding rehabilitation . we just we have rehabilitation. we just we have to do that and so if it means yeah. so no, i was just going to
