7:25 pm
show that because because w pat's their entire kind of way of operating is hashtag no debate. they don't debate. they shut people down. they they, you know, they absolutely defame. people are certainly they make very little of an awful lot of people's reputations . and as people's reputations. and as a result, arguably , an awful lot result, arguably, an awful lot of people have been cowed and silenced out. and so we started to say, well, we're going to have to offer something and we're going to have to go head to them. and we to head with them. and we have created and as said, a think created and as you said, a think tank that kind of is putting what we think are the best minds together . here to talk what we think are the best minds together. here to talk about genderin together. here to talk about gender in a more rational way and in a healthier way, because our approach to gender is a healthy approach to sex and genden healthy approach to sex and gender, i.e, create a framework where people can be diverse . where people can be diverse. it's maybe little boys can run around in dresses, but nobody wants to call him a girl. well, and nobody is making him take puberty blockers or offering a fast track of a medical medic illicit pathway and so we're
7:26 pm
creating a gender care framework and we're going to release it as such at our next conference. so i'll bring joe in at this ti. i ” irix. i�*7ti;”ti; so i'll bring joe in at this point. tts— i'll bring joe in at this point. tt-s wew— i'll bring joe in at this point. it's very interesting what stetta — it's very interesting what stetta ts— it's very interesting what stella is saying about the aettwtsts— stella is saying about the activists insofar as there have teen— activists insofar as there have teen-trans— activists insofar as there have. been _trans-groups been sort of trans gender groups in been sort of trans gender groups tn-tnat— in the past that weren't eapturet— in the past that weren't eapturet by— in the past that weren't captured by these activists. if you— captured by these activists. if you 90— captured by these activists. if you 90 past— captured by these activists. if you 90 past 12— captured by these activists. if you go back 12 years, mermaids even-sawtnt— you go back 12 years, mermaids even saying sensible even were saying quite sensible tntnts— even were saying quite sensible things promotional things in their promotional ttterature— things in their promotional literature-how- things in their promotional literature how for the literature about how for the mast— literature about how for the mast part.— literature about how for the most part, puberty resolves a lot most part, puberty resolves a tat at— most part, puberty resolves a tat at tnese— most part, puberty resolves a lot of these feelings of gender twspnarta— lot of these feelings of gender twspnarta tn— lot of these feelings of gender dysphoria in childhood. but now tnew— dysphoria in childhood. but now tnew-tnts— dysphoria in childhood. but now tnew-tnts ttnt- dysphoria in childhood. but now they-this kind of- they do have this kind of strttent— they do have this kind of strident activist quality . and strident activist quality. and as strident activist quality. and -assasw— strident activist quality. and as says, no debate . they as stella says, no debate. they wtt— as stella says, no debate. they wtttlataut— as stella says, no debate. they will-about their— as stella says, no debate. they will about their opponents , will lie about their opponents, tnew— will lie about their opponents, tnew-snear— will lie about their opponents, they-smear them,- will lie about their opponents, they smear them, they will they will smear them, they will just— they will smear them, they will just nat— they will smear them, they will just not interested— they will smear them, they will just not interested in participating in like adults. no.— participating in like adults. we. nat— participating in like adults. we. not at— participating in like adults. no, not at all. _ participating in like adults. no, not at all. and- participating in like adults. no, not at all. and that's why we are going to them. we're following them where they're holding their conference is and saying, yes, debate , we will saying, yes, debate, we will debate. we will present a totally different point of view totally different point of view to yours. at the same time and in the same place. this is what we did in april in cologne. in the same place. this is what we did in april in cologne . we we did in april in cologne. we had a conference with educators, lawyers, feminist , a lot of

bizarre everything bizarre idea that everything should rewritten make should be rewritten to make it relevant day and relevant to the current day and to strips away all of to me, that strips away all of the reading fiction. when the joy of reading fiction. when you clarissa from the you read, say, clarissa from the 18th century or you read the works of trollope from the 19th century, works century, or you read the works of wodehouse we mentioned of pg. wodehouse we mentioned from century, from the early 20th century, you do because you want do so in part because you want to know what it was to live in a different age. yes, even if in the of wodehouse, these are the case of wodehouse, these are highly fanciful ideas about a very narrow selection of that age. but you don't do it because you think that you're somehow going find a reflection of going to find a reflection of the it all the current age. but it all seems-arbitrary.- the current age. but it all seems-arbitrary. i- ri... ”ti“. 3 but it all seems arbitrary. i mean, the current age. but it all- seems.arbitrary. i mean, the seems so arbitrary. i mean, the autnors— seems so arbitrary. i mean, the autnors-tney— seems so arbitrary. i mean, the authors they choose. you authors that they choose. you nenttonet — mentioned clarissa, the richardson— richardson novel, but, you know, tnere-s— richardson novel, but, you know, tnere-slrape— richardson novel, but, you know, there'slrape and— richardson novel, but, you know, there's rape and dies in there's a rape and she dies in tnat— there's a rape and she dies in tnatltut— there's a rape and she dies in that.-but sorry— there's a rape and she dies in that.-but sorry to- there's a rape and she dies in that. but sorry to it that. but but sorry to spoil it put— that. but but sorry to spoil it put tut— that. but but sorry to spoil it but but there's— that. but but sorry to spoil it but but there's no warning on tnat— but but there's no warning on tnat as— but but there's no warning on tnat as yet. — but but there's no warning on that as yet. there's no warning on-tnose— that as yet. there's no warning on-those classics- that as yet. there's no warning on _those classics .- that as yet. there's no warning on those classics . but on some of those classics. but wnat— on some of those classics. but wnat ttn— on some of those classics. but wnat ttn saytne— on some of those classics. but what i'm saying is,— on some of those classics. but what i'm saying is, is that will tnat— what i'm saying is, is that will tnat no— what i'm saying is, is that will that now become— what i'm saying is, is that will that now become the norm, do you tntnte—tne- think? well, i think if the putttsntnt— think? well, i think if the publishing who does seem publishing staff who does seem nat— publishing staff who does seem we've had analogous cases, for nstane— we've had analogous cases, for tnstanee-wttet— we've had analogous cases, for instance, nigel biggar's instance, with nigel biggar's toot— instance, with nigel biggar's book colonialism , where the book on colonialism, where the ortttnat— book on colonialism, where the original publisher— book on colonialism, where the original publisher bloomsbury , original publisher bloomsbury, the original publisher bloomsbury, tne-went— original publisher bloomsbury, the-went mad— original publisher bloomsbury, the went mad about it, and the staff went mad about it, and so tt—

7:52 pm
years, in fact, since the trial of dh. lawrence's book, lady chatterley's lover, which was only published despite being written in 1928, it was only published in an unexpurgated form . in 1960, there was a trial form. in 1960, there was a trial . it was prosecuted. the publisher was prosecuted under the obscenity act of 1959, and then the judge , after taking then the judge, after taking evidence from people like ei then the judge, after taking evidence from people like e! m forster and many other literary luminaries, luminaries of the time said there is a clear work of artistic merit here that was the trial during which famously the trial during which famously the prosecuting counsel said, is this a book that you would wish your wife or your servants to read? we knew kind of read? so we knew what kind of viewpoints we were dealing with at yes. and so i'd at that time. yes. and so i'd have past have thought that for the past 60 we've had it as 60 years we've had it as a fairly well established fact that dislike the that even if you dislike the content of something, it should be to be published. be allowed to be published. and if it, you don't if you don't like it, you don't have read it retrospectively have to read it retrospectively to go back and to be trying to, as the case of ian fleming's as in the case of ian fleming's estate, the writer james bond estate, the writer of james bond themselves changing the themselves to be changing the language. i think is very language. yes. i think is a very
7:53 pm
odd that is odd thing because that is a distortion . if you want if you distortion. if you want if you think it's really necessary, if you think your readers so you think your readers are so stupid that they can't understand books published understand that books published a time express a long time ago express different of view in different points of view in different points of view in different you different languages, if you really it's necessary , really think it's necessary, then fine, a little warning then fine, put a little warning on but to start rewriting, on it. but to start rewriting, as some authors estates are doing, think is a quite doing, i think is a really quite dangerous trend. i mean, it's tnteresttnt— dangerous trend. i mean, it's interesting the— ig ”ti“ri i mean, it's interesting the rewriting thing. ig ”ti“ti i mean, it's interestitherez rewriting thing. ig ”ti“ti i mean, it's interesti there wasiriting thing. ig ”ti“ti i mean, it's interesti there wasiri'backlash. ig ”ti“ti i mean, it's intere they ere wasiri'backlash. ig ”ti“ti i mean, it's intere they were asiri'backlash. ig ”ti“ti i mean, it's interethey were startingklash. when they were starting to rewrtttnt — when they were starting to. rewriting _yes. when they were starting to- rewriting _yes. the rewriting pg wodehouse. yes. the very— rewriting pg wodehouse. yes. the very-tnese— rewriting pg wodehouse. yes. the very-tnese are— rewriting pg wodehouse. yes. the very these are these very idea that these are these son— very idea that these are these sort ot— very idea that these are these sort ot zo— very idea that these are these sort ot to year— very idea that these are these sort of 20 year old activists pretenttnt— sort of 20 year old activists pretenttne to— sort of 20 year old activists pretending to publishers can pretending to be publishers can wrtte—woutt- pretending to be publishers can write _would-is| write better than would have is nttartous— write better than would have is hilarious-begin— write better than would have is hilarious begin with. but but hilarious to begin with. but but tnen— hilarious to begin with. but but tnen-a— hilarious to begin with. but but then-a difference- then there's a difference between— then there's a difference between putting between that and maybe putting a warntnt— between that and maybe putting a warntnet-e— between that and maybe putting a warning even warning warning on. but even the warning trouttes— warning on. but even the warning troubles-because— troubles me because the tnptteate— troubles me because the implicate person behind it is tnat— implicate person behind it is tnat tnese— implicate person behind it is that these books are sort of potenttatty— that these books are sort of potentially dangerous and that tney— potentially dangerous and that tney nave— potentially dangerous and that tney nawe to— potentially dangerous and that they have to kind of paternalistically after the paternalistically look after the putts.— paternalistically look after the putts-tnat-s— paternalistically look after the public, that's their job. public, that that's their job. tts— public, that that's their job. tt-s not— public, that that's their job. it's not their— public, that that's their job. it's not their job. well, that's tnat— it's not their job. well, that's tnat tn— it's not their job. well, that's that in itself— it's not their job. well, that's that in itself is,— it's not their job. well, that's that in itself is, i— it's not their job. well, that's that in itself is, i think, a ratner— that in itself is, i think, a rate ott— that in itself is, i think, a rather old fashioned and rather old fashioned idea. and it's rather old fashioned idea. and nts—tney- rather old fashioned idea. and it's—they should. rather old fashioned idea. andi it's—they should be it's curious that they should be existing together. now. wonder existing together. now. i wonder if would, instance, re if they would, for instance, re or reinstatement or support the reinstatement of the chamberlain the role of the lord chamberlain who 1737 and 1968 had

7:55 pm
banned. it's proscribed that they're not being burnt anymore, but and we've seen in many regimes throughout history that once ideas and control, once there an idea that some there is an idea that some things dangerous as ideas things are so dangerous as ideas that they can no longer be read , you to go down a very , you start to go down a very difficult about free difficult path about free expression itself and what concerns here they're concerns me here is that they're beginning they're beginning with language. they're beginning with language. they're beginning those particular beginning with those particular touch of today's touch points of today's language, race and class . and i language, race and class. and i just don't think that there's a possibility of it ending there. and this another and i think this is another instance slippery instance where the slippery slope is not a logical fallacy . slope is not a logical fallacy. it's a very clear indication. and seen this in so many and we've seen this in so many instances recently, once control is exerted over language, which is exerted over language, which is a principle method we have of expressing our ideas, those ideas become ideas themselves become circumscribed and indeed proscribed. david alright, paul, thanks ever so much joining thanks ever so much for joining me. greatly it. me. greatly appreciate it. okay.— me. greatly appreciate it. okay. ttats— me. greatly appreciate it. okay, that's the— me. greatly appreciate it. okay, that's the end of our first hour on free speech nation. but there is much more to sonne— nation. but there is much more to come, including— \r but there is much more to come, including discussion of the to come, including discussion of tne wtntrusn— to come, including discussion of the windrush generation , the the windrush generation, the trtsn — the windrush generation, the trtsn tate— the windrush generation, the irish hate crime— the windrush generation, the irish hate crime bill and more

8:18 pm
of discrimination. then there was the 1958 notting hill riots , where so—called teddy boys were encouraging white british residents to keep britain white. but then over time , when you but then over time, when you move into the 1960s, with the passage of race relations legislation , the situation did legislation, the situation did improve over time, and that did facilitate the integration of migrants , which was a real migrants, which was a real positive development. and a lot of these people, of course, were very coming very well educated, were coming here really much here and doing really much needed , and yet they still needed jobs, and yet they still had to put up with this hostility. but it does just go to hostility. but it does just go ie snow.— hostility. but it does just go to show, doesn't— hostility. but it does just go to show, doesn't it,- c can but it does just go to show, doesn't it, how far wewe-on.- to show, doesn't it, how far wewe-on. no.- to show, doesn't it, how far- we've-oh, no, absolutely. we've come? oh, no, absolutely. and that i've and that's a point that i've made on occasions . made on numerous occasions. andrew, look at the andrew, when you look at the kind of in—your—face racism that was faced by members of the windrush generation back in those days , we've really made those days, we've really made fantastic progress when it comes to racial equality in our country. and that was demonstrated in a new report published by british future, which showed that a comfortable majority ethnic minority majority of ethnic minority brits feel that over the last 25 years we've made significant
8:19 pm
progress when it comes to racial equality and 80% of ethnic minority brits believe that it's better to live in britain as an ethnic minority when compared to other countries such as usa , other countries such as usa, france and germany. and that's something that i've argued for something that i've argued for some time, that brexit, britain actually outperforms a range of eu member states, such as france, germany and the netherlands. it comes to netherlands. when it comes to providing anti—discrimination protections on the of protections on the grounds of race, ethnicity religion . race, ethnicity and religion. so to what extent do you think inni— so to what extent do you thinkl inn—in that the windrush generation in of that the windrush generation in ei—neinei- that the windrush generation in ei—neinei io- that the windrush generation in of helped to forge of themselves helped to forge inn— of themselves helped to forge inei progress— of themselves helped to forge that progress that the country nee— that progress that the country has gene— that progress that the country has gone through as a whole? iieii— has gone through as a whole? iieii i— has gone through as a whole? iieii i inink— has gone through as a whole? well i think that— has gone through as a whole? well i think that originally wnen— well i think that originally wnen yen— well i think that originally when you look— well i think that originally when you look at the anti—racism nneveineni i— when you look at the anti—racism movement, i think— when you look at the anti—racism movement, i think the anti—racism- movement, i think the anti—racism movement, by the way,— anti—racism movement, by the wen-nun— anti—racism movement, by the wen-nun ieei- anti—racism movement, by the way,-truly lost its- anti—racism movement, by the way, truly lost its way way, it has truly lost its way in ieeeni— way, it has truly lost its way in recent times— way, it has truly lost its way in recent times because much of it in recent times because much of ii nee— in recent times because much of it has brainlessly_ in recent times because much of it has brainlessly imported us reeiei— it has brainlessly imported us racial identity— it has brainlessly imported us racial identity politics. but back— racial identity politics. but back in— racial identity politics. but back in ine— racial identity politics. but back in the 1950s- racial identity politics. but back in the 1950s and 60s , you back in the 1950s and 60s, you had a legendary figures such as salieri, constantine , who really salieri, constantine, who really did do fantastic work in terms

8:21 pm
want it to be properly managed. i-think that was the case.l i don't think that was the case. when the windrush when we look at the windrush scandal, ultimately we scandal, because ultimately we were people were were looking at people who were being discriminated against, people who had provided people who had who had provided a deal of loyal service a great deal of loyal service to the especially in the country, especially in sectors, as i said, in health care and transport. i think that my main worry is that the level of damage that it did already of damage that it did to already disaffected communities of black canbbean disaffected communities of black caribbean origin, especially communities that felt that, for example , the metropolitan police example, the metropolitan police service in london had grossly mismanaged the racist murder of stephen lawrence. so i do think that there are lessons to be learned from the windrush scandal, and we have to really speed up that process of compensation as which has compensation as well, which has been slow and been far too slow and inefficient. i ask you about inefficient. can i ask you about your book beyond grievance what the left gets wrong about ethnic minorities? it's quite provocative -, - minorities? it's quitej provocative -, but provocative title, but potentially - provocative title, but potentially you might be wgeeiiing— potentially you might be upsetting some people the upsetting some people on the inn.— upsetting some people on the en nui— upsetting some people on the en nwe-going— upsetting some people on the left. but going ask you upsetting some people on the left. do going ask you upsetting some people on the left. do the going ask you upsetting some people on the left. do the leftig ask you upsetting some people on the left. do the left get ask you upsetting some people on the left. do the left get wrong'ou upsetting some people on the left. do the left get wrong ? what do the left get wrong? i inini— what do the left get wrong? i inini inew— what do the left get wrong? i inini inew gei— what do the left get wrong? i think they get a— what do the left get wrong? i think they get a great- what do the left get wrong? i think they get a great deal wrong. andrew, think you're wrong. andrew, i think you're fantastic at highlighting that yourself, think looking at yourself, but i think looking at it from from my point of view
8:22 pm
and in terms of what i've written in my new book, beyond grievance, it's a tension between to be between what i consider to be a radical cultural liberalism , radical cultural liberalism, which has taken hold on the modern british left and the more patriotic and traditional sentiments that you'll find in many british ethnic minority communities. so i talk a great deal about family values. i also talk about how ethnic minority, ethnic minority people in the uk , a lot of them don't want to be seen as victims in their own country. they belong to robust family units. they really want to strive to do better and make the the opportunities the most of the opportunities that provided in british that they're provided in british democracy and said democracy. and as i said earlier, they're very much aware of and freedoms of the protections and freedoms that provided their that they're provided in their country compared to ethnic minorities living in other countries, as france and countries, such as france and germany. so i think that what the offers is a more the book offers is a more positive account of britain's record on race relations and more broadly on matters of equality . motty and it really equality. motty and it really what it is , it instructs the what it is, it instructs the left that when you're looking at
8:23 pm
inequalities, not to look at everything through the prism of race, also look at social class or even things such as might or even things such as it might sound a boring, things sound a bit boring, but things like a geographically like living in a geographically isolated think isolated community. i think things like that are far more important comes to important when it comes to shaping chances. in modern shaping life chances. in modern day . motty you mentioned day britain. motty you mentioned that day britain. motty you mentioned inn we— day britain. motty you mentioned inn we-e— day britain. motty you mentioned that we -a tendency- 2pi " motty you mentioned that we a tendency here to that we have a tendency here to ingen— that we have a tendency here to ingen-eiewi- that we have a tendency here to import-about race- import narratives about race nen— import narratives about race non-us— import narratives about race non-us eni— import narratives about race from us and kind of impose from the us and kind of impose inen — from the us and kind of impose inen onio— from the us and kind of impose them onto our— from the us and kind of impose them onto our situation and them onto our own situation and them onto our own situation and ine-wiin— them onto our own situation and ine-wiin inei. - them onto our own situation and the-with that. but- them onto our own situation and the with that. but if the problems with that. but if i eewii— the problems with that. but if i could mention,— the problems with that. but if i could mention, robin diangelo's neet.— could mention, robin diangelo's teen—eni- could mention, robin diangelo's book,_and robini book, white fragility and robin niangeie— book, white fragility and robin diangelo believes that actually in en— diangelo believes that actually in present— diangelo believes that actually in our present day things are worse for ethnic— in our present day things are worse for ethnic minorities than new— worse for ethnic minorities than new wee— worse for ethnic minorities than they were during— worse for ethnic minorities than they were during the period of jim they were during the period of in crew.— they were during the period of jim crow, because her argument is jim crow, because her argument ie inni— jim crow, because her argument is net ei— jim crow, because her argument ie net at ine— jim crow, because her argument is that at the time— jim crow, because her argument is that at the time of jim crow, it is that at the time of jim crow, ii wee— is that at the time of jim crow, ii eti— is that at the time of jim crow, it was all overt.— is that at the time of jim crow, it was all overt. you could see ine— it was all overt. you could see tne neeien— it was all overt. you could see the racism, but— it was all overt. you could see the racism, but-it's- it was all overt. you could see the racism, but it's been the racism, but now it's been ewiewnei— subsumed, so it's often inwieiiie— subsumed, so it's often invisible and- subsumed, so it's often invisible and it's happening. iwen— invisible and it's happening. ewen-cent— invisible and it's happening. even-can't see- invisible and it's happening. even can't see it. what even if you can't see it. what do even if you can't see it. what to wew— even if you can't see it. what to you newe— even if you can't see it. what do you make argument? do you make of that argument? wew.— do you make of that argument? wew-in— do you make of that argument? wew-in tne— do you make of that argument? well,-in the british- well, i think in the british context, i make the point in the book still improvements book there's still improvements to about the to be made. i talk about in the labour market that, you know, names culturally names which are culturally distant sounding tend fare distant sounding tend to fare worse traditionally english worse than traditionally english sounding even when you sounding names, even when you control experience ,
8:24 pm
control for work experience, skills and educational qualifications . and i talk about qualifications. and i talk about having a more efficient and responsive care system , responsive health care system, which is which functions better in the face of having an ever diversifying population. i do talk improving police talk about improving police community relations as well, but i think that the and i think i think, for example, i think of runnymede trust in 2000, they published the report which which provided which provided the view that to suggest that racism is widespread in the britain of 2000 was a partisan and skewed view. and then more recently they published a report which said that our systems in england are deliberately rigged against ethnic minorities. i simply don't believe that. and i don't believe that this argument that racial and ethnic minorities more generally in the west, in the western world, are worse off now compared to before. well, it's interesting that— now compared to before. well, it's interesting that you- it's interesting that you mentioned— it's interesting that you mentioned the runnymede trust. they— mentioned the runnymede trust. new—nei— mentioned the runnymede trust. inew—nei e- mentioned the runnymede trust. inew—nei a see. they seem to have had a sea enenge— they seem to have had a sea enenge nen— they seem to have had a sea change from that— they seem to have had a sea change from that attitude back in 2000. — change from that attitude back in 2000-imit— change from that attitude back in 2000-that just- change from that attitude back in 2000. that just because in 2000. is that just because eeiiwiete— in 2000. is that just because activists have— in 2000. is that just because activists have kind seized activists have kind of seized net—newe- activists have kind of seizedi that—have with that group, as they have with even—tent-

' 2 give around that. and an absolutely and i've even included it at the point in the book. for example, when you saw the blacklist being used to directly target members of the gypsy and traveller communities. so, so, so i do include episodes like that in the book. but i think that when you compare that to what i'd consider a very aggressive form of racial discrimination , when of racial discrimination, when you're looking at violence, harassment and intimidation, i do think that we've made
8:26 pm
significant strides from that. but as i say in the book, i don't think i look at britain through rose tinted spectacles. i say that actually what we should strive do is make should strive to do is make these improvements in various spheres of british life. so with the gold standard the ultimate gold standard example of a successful multiracial democracy in the modern world, ricky besson, thanks so much forjoining me today. really appreciate it. wants.— today. really appreciate it. inane-.— today. really appreciate it. inentel se— today. really appreciate it. thanks,-. so next- 2 really appreciate it. thanks, . so next on free thanks, ipp. so next on free seeeen— thanks, ipp. so next on free speech nation,— thanks, ipp. so next on free speech nation, top irish iewnneiiei— speech nation, top irish journalist david quinn will be newe— journalist david quinn will be nene te— journalist david quinn will be here to discuss— journalist david quinn will be here to discuss the potential ramifications— here to discuss the potential ramifications of— here to discuss the potential ramifications of the hugely contentious— ramifications of the hugely contentious hate crime bill. see you— contentious hate crime bill. see wew in— contentious hate crime bill. see wew in e— contentious hate crime bill. see you in a moment— contentious hate crime bill. see you in a moment .— contentious hate crime bill. see you in a moment . woo

8:35 pm
like hear response on like to hear your response on this . can we like to hear your response on this. can we play the clip? when you think about when you thinkyabout it, all law when you think about it, all law all legislation— when you think about it, all law all legislation is— when you think about it, all law all legislation is about the restriction— all legislation is about the restriction of— all legislation is about the restriction of freedom. that's exeetw— restriction of freedom. that's exneew wnat— restriction of freedom. that's exactly what we're doing here, is we are restricting freedom, but we're doing it for the common good. you will see throughout our constitution , throughout our constitution, yes, you have rights, but they are restricted for the common good. everything needs to be balanced. and if your views on other people's identities go to make their lives unsafe, insecure and cause them such deep discomfort that they cannot live in peace, then i believe that it live in peace, then i believe thatitis live in peace, then i believe that it is our job as that it is ourjob as legislators to restrict those freedoms . so restricting the freedoms. so restricting the freedoms. so restricting the freedoms of the population for the common good. where have we newne— the common good. where have we tend inn— the common good. where have we heard that before?— the common good. where have we heard that before? oh,— the common good. where have we heard that before? oh, in- 2" 32 where have we heard that before? oh, in every eingie— heard that before? oh, in every single tyrannical— heard that before? oh, in every single tyrannical regime that's exieteei— single tyrannical regime that's ever existed, can— single tyrannical regime that's ever existed, can the can newiine— ever existed, can the can pauline o'reilly not see that wnen— pauline o'reilly not see that win eie-e— pauline o'reilly not see that what she's advocating for there is authoritarianism ? wick
8:36 pm
is authoritarianism? well, i mean, she completely gave the game away because the government itself was trying to minimise what this bill is going to mean in here have in practise. and here we have somebody who's a member of one of coalition parties, in of the coalition parties, in this greens, and she's this case the greens, and she's saying enough somebody saying this enough to somebody who unsafe or insecure and who feels unsafe or insecure and are uncomfortable, utterly subjective terms. and she says, we can't live in a society where people who belong to certain protected groups unsafe, protected groups feel unsafe, insecure or uncomfortable. so to my mind, that shows just how far reaching this bill is potentially going to be. and what's really alarming is the lack of proper debate about it. so there's been some in the upper the senate , but upper house, the senate, but it's obviously less important, just house lords just like your house of lords and so the bill is ultimately going to sail through. there's some small possibility of some kind amendment might kind of amendment that might soften the blow this thing soften the blow of this thing a little bit . and our media here little bit. and our media here have mainly been in favour of it, are silent. our equivalent of the bbc has been nearly utterly silent about it. in fact, the weird thing is here we are in gb news and gb news is
8:37 pm
showing more interest in it than our broadcaster is and our national broadcaster is and so most of the opposition to it within ireland has been occurring on social media. so that clip you just showed is had something 2 million something like 2 million views. now, them are because now, a lot of them are because people like you, andrew, retweeted it and like about six weeks ago, we had elon musk coming onto the bill and we also had people like jordan peterson also cottoning on the bill. also cottoning on to the bill. so got these really big so we got these really big figures from overseas saying, hang minute, we've got hang on a minute, we've got a problem in ireland. and the problem in ireland. and the problem in ireland. and the problem in ireland problem by the way, in ireland is used be most is we used to be the most catholic country in the world, and we're kind of moving and now we're kind of moving over most over to being the most politically correct country in ireland. kind of ireland. so we're kind of overcompensating for it. but we're from one type of we're going from one type of authoritarianism in the past to authoritarianism in the past to a form today. i did a brand new form today. i did want to ask you about- want to ask you about that, newn— want to ask you about that, devin-in- want to ask you about that, david,-it does- want to ask you about that, david, it does strike want to ask you about that,- david,-it does strike me david, because it does strike me inni— david, because it does strike me inn-new— david, because it does strike me inei-neei ine- that there is a real the eeiiwien — that there is a real the activism within ireland is far more extreme and aggressive and niiiieni— more extreme and aggressive and niiiieni inan— more extreme and aggressive and militant than you— more extreme and aggressive and militant than you see even over nee.— militant than you see even over nene. ani— militant than you see even over nene. and i— militant than you see even over here. and i wonder— militant than you see even over here. and i wonder to what extent— here. and i wonder to what extent tnat— here. and i wonder to what extent that was— here. and i wonder to what extent that was because you have this extent that was because you have tnie nietenw— extent that was because you have
8:38 pm
tnie nietenw et— extent that was because you have this history of catholicism, wnien— this history of catholicism, wnien we— this history of catholicism, which was then— this history of catholicism, which was then sort of swept away— which was then sort of swept away in— which was then sort of swept away in tne— which was then sort of swept away in the public consciousness by away in the public consciousness iw tne— away in the public consciousness iw tne ee— away in the public consciousness iw tne ex— away in the public consciousness by the same sex marriage. and tnat— by the same sex marriage. and we ee— by the same sex marriage. and that since then,— by the same sex marriage. and that since then, you have eetitieiene— that since then, you have politicians and- that since then, you have politicians and the media class in ineient— politicians and the media class in ireland using— politicians and the media class in ireland using terms like wneete— in ireland using terms like unsafe, which— in ireland using terms like unsafe, which is straight out of the unsafe, which is straight out of tie texieen— unsafe, which is straight out of the lexicon of— unsafe, which is straight out of the lexicon of critical social iwetiee— the lexicon of critical social justice. otherwise known as wexeneee— justice. otherwise known as wexeneee . — justice. otherwise known as wokeness . you- justice. otherwise known as wokeness. /n:::n. wokeness. you see, i think ireland is a country because we're a small country. ireland is a country because we're a small country . we're we're a small country. we're extremely consensus driven . and extremely consensus driven. and i think what's turning out in ireland is we kind of only allow oneidea ireland is we kind of only allow one idea at a time. and if you don't go along with that idea, you're cancelled, you're silenced, you're not given platforms. and this happens in all kinds of informal ways, like britain . um, all kinds of informal ways, like britain. um, so all kinds of people now simply don't get ianed people now simply don't get invited to universities anymore to part in debates. um, we to take part in debates. um, we had, by the way, a couple of years ago, richard dawkins was supposed at trinity supposed to speak at trinity college dublin to college dublin due to his society, historical society. society, the historical society. but apparently the oldest debating in the world. debating society in the world. but in uk came in and they but in uk he came in and they disinvited him because a few years he described islam as years ago he described islam as the greatest force for evil in
8:39 pm
the greatest force for evil in the world today. so they said, we him. now it's we can't have him. but now it's coming along is so there's all kinds informal ways of kinds of informal ways of censoring people . so now they're censoring people. so now they're going along this going to come along with this bill, which is a formal way to do it. and ironically, a few years ago, ireland got rid of the law the blasphemy, the blasphemy law from constitution . so you from its constitution. so you can blasphemous things about can say blasphemous things about god, but the new form of blasphemy you can't say blasphemy is you can't say blasphemy is you can't say blasphemy a thing. it's like blasphemous things about certain minorities. the ironic thing minorities. so the ironic thing again, is we've replaced this really strict kind of catholic consensus with this extremely strict one. and the same people who kind of were extremely opposed to the church and its dominance are the same people who are introducing a lot of this sort of stuff. and they can see the irony and they can see the standard involved. the double standard involved. david quinn, thank you so much for joining me today. thank you . so i just for joining me today. thank you . se i iwet went— for joining me today. thank you . so i just want to— for joining me today. thank you . so i just want to quickly- " g 2 thank you . so i just want to quickly ask my— . so i just want to quickly ask my genet— . so i just want to quickly ask my eenei etewt— . so i just want to quickly ask my panel about this because i do tint— my panel about this because i do tint it— my panel about this because i do find it interesting,— my panel about this because i do find it interesting, leo. you knew.— find it interesting, leo. you know, scotland _ find it interesting, leo. you know, scotland has passed a einiien— know, scotland has passed a einiien-et— know, scotland has passed a similar-of hate- know, scotland has passed a similar of hate crime bill,
