channel >> well, i see that multicultural ism and diversity is going really well at the moment. an asian shopkeeper is alleged to have assaulted a black woman who is alleged to have been stealing stuff from his shop and now a paramilitary style organisation of black activists called the forever family force have been protesting for the best part of a day in a bid. this is the same group who turned up outside a school kent after a black school in kent after a black pupil was involved in a fight with some white children. believed to be the believed to be from the traveller community. they also turned up the home of the turned up near the home of the parents of the kids responsible for wearing for the alleged attack. wearing stab reportedly . now stab proof vest reportedly. now that appears to be part that actually appears to be part of uniform by the way, of their uniform by the way, stab proof vest, walkie talkie somewhere, black berets, somewhere, black berets, somewhere balaclavas and face masks . so you somewhere balaclavas and face masks. so you can't quite somewhere balaclavas and face masks . so you can't quite see masks. so you can't quite see their identity , which is their identity, which is a little bit strange because they're so—called company values are integrity , are listed as integrity, transparency accountability. transparency and accountability. but that note, is also but on that note, it is also unclear how the group are funded, possibly just through donations. it is just a really

bonkers situation . and the point bonkers situation. and the point is it isn't really clear what's actually happened to cause all of this. here's a bit of a video of this. here's a bit of a video of the incident at the moment . of the incident at the moment. so there's a shopkeeper involved here, allegedly refused being a black woman a refund . he then black woman a refund. he then wrestled with her after suspecting her of stealing , suspecting her of stealing, apparently, and appeared to put his hands around her throat. at one point. so he says he was detaining her and then when police arrived, they initially only arrested one person, which happened to be the woman for an alleged she alleged assault after she apparently bopped him over the head with bag. now been head with a bag. she's now been bailed . so then what happens? bailed. so then what happens? well, sister space, a charity which supports women of african and heritage, which and caribbean heritage, which became famous ngozi fulani became famous after ngozi fulani real , marlene hadley, real name, marlene hadley, accused lady susan hussey of being a racist, accused lady susan hussey of being a racist , criticised the being a racist, criticised the police for arresting the woman they've called for the shop to be shut down and this pseudo paramilitary organisation called forever family force turns up .

forever family force turns up. they start chanting things. i think like you touch one, you touch us all. the shopkeeper has shut his shop at the moment. he's got posters all on the outside of it now, accusing him of racial and misogynistic violence. the mayor of london has waded in, saying that he's urgently seeking information has waded in, saying that he's urgerpolice.king information has waded in, saying that he's urgerpolice. i ng information has waded in, saying that he's urgerpolice. i don't ormation has waded in, saying that he's urgerpolice. i don't recallon has waded in, saying that he's urgerpolice. i don't recall him from police. i don't recall him saying too much about knife crime at notting hill carnival recently , which is interesting. recently, which is interesting. now, all that the now, after all that the shopkeeper has been interviewed under caution , the protesters under caution, the protesters say that they want a boycott of the shop. i'm sorry, but can we all agree that this is absolutely insane ? this is absolutely insane? this is literally a prime example of how low britain has fallen ? well, low britain has fallen? well, we've got an asian shopkeeper who may or may not have been out of order or a black female customer who may or may not have been trying to steal stuff. and customer who may or may not have beerwe'ing to steal stuff. and customer who may or may not have beerwe have) steal stuff. and customer who may or may not have beerwe have whatl stuff. and customer who may or may not have beerwe have what is;tuff. and customer who may or may not have beerwe have what is essentially now we have what is essentially a tinderbox of a race riot brewing. i mean, do these people honestly have anything honestly not have anything better to do? can how this better to do? i can see how this ends. ultimately, the police will be blamed for all of this. and we'll have another saga

about institutional racism and then there'll have to be some kind inquiry. there? kind of inquiry. won't there? i just thing just find the whole thing pathetic very, pathetic and actually very, very worrying. any time somebody worrying. so any time somebody from the black community is involved in anything like this , involved in anything like this, do we get a pseudo paramilitary force mobbing up outside and screaming blue murder ? i just screaming blue murder? i just ask you this question. okay who is actually stoking racial tensions and division here? and is it all necessary . yeah i want is it all necessary. yeah i want to know what you think of all of this. gb views gbnews.com and again, i want to stress that as things currently stand, it is not clear who has done what wrong here and what action the police may or may not be taking . so that's where we are as things currently stand. but i am going to be asking over the course show this course of the show whether this was all a really big misunderstanding. there might misunderstanding. if there might be kind of agenda of sorts be some kind of agenda of sorts taking here. i'm joined taking place here. i'm joined now by anti—racism campaigner

bushra sheikh . bushra, thank you bushra sheikh. bushra, thank you very, very much . i just look at very, very much. i just look at this and i just think this is absolutely ludicrous. your views totally petrified . totally petrified. >> i really echo what you're saying here. the fact that an indian dependent store has had an incident at its shop and it has been broadcasted almost it, you know, ignited flames of racial hatred to me is beyond comprehension. i have been involved in this in the last 24 hours because i was told that protests were going to happen outside the shop in peckham . outside the shop in peckham. >> you know, there was going to be what i would deem incredibly it's false outrage . it's false outrage. >> what are you doing? this is a man who's been who's got this shop for ten years in that community. >> and you are now going to protest against him, make these outrageous claims because they believe the south asian community has ingrained

prejudice against black people . prejudice against black people. oh, what planet are we living on today? >> honestly , i just wonder >> honestly, i just wonder whether or not really this is a very concerning sign of things to come where an incident like this and again, it remains to be seen what action the police take, if any. >> it remains to be seen exactly who the police find responsible, if anyone. but regardless, we have people , you know, in kind have people, you know, in kind of berets, paramilitary style gean of berets, paramilitary style gear, mopping up outside a shop and forcing a shop to close for and forcing a shop to close for a bit . it's and forcing a shop to close for a bit. it's threatening. it's ridiculous behaviour. have they not got anything better to do ? i not got anything better to do? i mean, i don't know. did they not have work yesterday ? have work yesterday? >> i mean, look, i mean i had a thought and i thought this seems like real life tiktok to me . like real life tiktok to me. >> we have situations which are institutional problem in this country that's still very much exist and as an anti—racism campaigner myself, i find it

frustrating to see this kind of level of division on street level of division on street level when there are bigger fights to fight if we need to. it really undermines what it means for somebody to be racist when we use that term. so loosely, we can no longer really establish and understand what's going on here. this is a generation problems in society that are coming to life that we are seeing that are far from what we really want to have to move forward . i find it move forward. i find it completely bizarre, to be honest, and the fact that they are what is it that what does it say about diverse city and multiculturalism in britain from the outside observer looking at this , who is nowhere near this, who is nowhere near london, you know, someone who's just living in a rural community somewhere in up north, somewhere , and they look at this now and they must just be thinking, what they must just be thinking, what the heck is going on here? >> i mean, this is >> seriously? i mean, this is like a kind low level race like a kind of low level race riot taking place over a relatively low level alleged

incident in a shop. relatively low level alleged incident in a shop . okay. and incident in a shop. okay. and what does this say ? that just what does this say? that just like that. just like that , it like that. just like that, it can blow up into some kind of tinderbox of a race issue ? tinderbox of a race issue? >> totally. if you're outside and you're and you're looking in to see what's happening here, this that we are this is showing that we are actually , as community, actually, as a community, haven't progressed much. haven't really progressed much. when talk about when we talk about multiculturalism . and we should multiculturalism. and we should actually we've moved actually say that we've moved forward finding forward, that we are finding ways live together ways to live together harmoniously from the harmoniously and from the surface. that's what it seems . surface. that's what it seems. but when you dig a little bit deepen but when you dig a little bit deeper, perhaps there are sentiments people are not sentiments that people are not openly talking about . if the openly talking about. if the black community feel ostracised by the south asian community. but but on face level, by the south asian community. but but on face level , they're but but on face level, they're saying that we're together, but really they're not. >> then why are we not actually having those conversations? >> for me, this is really >> so for me, this is really about posturing. and look, also, patrick, you have to understand that we have a culture of wokeism there is this wokeness thatis wokeism there is this wokeness that is ingrained somehow that is ingrained or somehow infiltrated amongst our communities , and people are just communities, and people are just pandenng communities, and people are just pandering to it all. >> yeah, i do think that

ultimately i can see how this ends, which is i think that ultimately we're going to end up with the police. bizarrely being blamed for this and then the police force, which has been done recently for institutional racism, still as a kind of racism, seems still as a kind of a white entity. the metropolitan police force , despite the fact police force, despite the fact that my understanding is that the local superintendents involved in all of is not involved in all of this is not white, the way, can see white, by the way, i can see that up falling at the that this ends up falling at the door sir mark rowley, who's door of sir mark rowley, who's just it just sitting there. well, it doesn't to hair pull doesn't have any to hair pull out, but if did, out, does he? but if he did, i imagine he'd be pulling it out saying, look, why is this now a police this on police issue? why is this now on us? level us? we've had a low level incident shop. had incident at a shop. we've had people outside start people mob up outside and start calling , crying, screaming, blue calling, crying, screaming, blue murder and just see how this ends. i mean, not not everything has about surely has to be about race. surely >> we totally and i think, you know what if people just took a little bit of personal responsibility and understood that actions have that their actions have reactions then reactions and consequences, then perhaps we could leave the police to do the jobs that they really need to be doing. we shouldn't like

shouldn't have situations like this arising right this is this arising right now. this is the that we found the stuff that we found happening ago that my happening years ago that my grandparents used to talk about how we in 2023 dealing with this stuff and to talk about the police. why sahel, police. the reason why sahel, who's the shop owner of peckham , was involved in that situation because he already felt like the police don't really do anything with this stuff because it's so low level that they don't have the time to deal with it. and unfortunately, going unfortunately, you are going to find take advantage find people that take advantage of that. but this seriously is a question about holding yourself responsible . this is a total responsible. this is a total misunderstanding and has been blown out of proportion. blown way out of proportion. >> it is, yeah. >> it is, yeah. >> and again, as you've been at pains do , and i will do pains to do, and i will do again, it absolutely remains to be what action the police be seen what action the police decide to take on this, whether or not anybody is charged with anything, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. i to that anything, etcetera, etcetera, etcet clear to that anything, etcetera, etcetera, etcetclear the 0 that anything, etcetera, etcetera, etcetclear the moment.1at anything, etcetera, etcetera, etcetclear the moment. but very clear at the moment. but bushra, much. bushra, thank you very much. bushra, thank you very much. bushra anti—racism bushra sheikh, those anti—racism campaigner, that campaigner, i just saw that story thought was story and just thought it was absolutely to honest absolutely bonkers, to be honest with your views coming with you. get your views coming in, views at gb in, of course. gb views is at gb

news but shoplifting in news dot com, but shoplifting in general . okay. right across the general. okay. right across the country. i mean , whether you're country. i mean, whether you're in the north of england, whether you're in the east or west, wherever scotland , wherever you're in scotland, wales, northern ireland, etcetera, is etcetera, shoplifting is becoming massive becoming an absolutely massive issue right around the uk and it's costing retailers hundreds of millions of pounds every single year. and the rise has been put down largely to the cost of living crisis. hey, do you buy that ? do you think that you buy that? do you think that there is ever a justification? actually, if you've got a young baby, do you go in and steal nappies, for example? if you can't it, a bit can't afford it, that's a bit different from going in somewhere some dvds somewhere and stealing some dvds if even those anymore. if they even sell those anymore. but police but last year, police recorded a total. but last year, police recorded a total . of 342,343 offences in total. of 342,343 offences in england and wales. that is up from a total of 275,076 offences dunng from a total of 275,076 offences during the previous 12 months. that's a significant increase of around 24% and you can see why people are referring to a shoplifting epidemic. i'm joined now by james lowman , who's the

now by james lowman, who's the chief executive of the association of convenience stores. and james, can i thank you very, much coming you very, very much for coming on, just to say to on, please. and just to say to you what kind of protection do you what kind of protection do you you're from you think you're getting from the police, from shoplifting? how problem ? how bad how bad is the problem? how bad is there ? is it out there? >> yeah, we are seeing a significant increase in those figures, probably massively underreported and don't really capture the full scale of shop theft. but the relative change is certainly something our members are seeing. they're seeing significant increase in in shop theft . and it's not just in shop theft. and it's not just the volume of it, it's in shop theft. and it's not just the volume of it , it's the the volume of it, it's the impact. and it's , i'd say the impact. and it's, i'd say the brazenness of that, that crime. we're seeing people coming in and clearing shelves now in stores and apparently feeling they have no fear of any repercussions for that. so i think our members do feel let down by the lack of police response. and i think over a number of years, there's almost been this idea of screening out low level crime and not investigating it. well, firstly, all these incidents have an impact. they all have a victim.

but actually look at it the other way round. they also provide a really rich pool of data from which we can understand and who are the prolific repeat offenders committing these offences and many other offences as well. and actually, if we use this information to target those people, take them off the streets, put them into rehabilitation , or it could rehabilitation, or it could be a prison sentence or whatever's most appropriate, we can actually really make a difference of just difference in terms of not just shop other shop theft, but lots of other offences the community. offences in the community. >> is a sense now amongst >> is there a sense now amongst shopkeepers it's >> is there a sense now amongst sh0jdefenceless it's >> is there a sense now amongst sh0jdefenceless ? it's >> is there a sense now amongst sh0jdefenceless ? like, it's >> is there a sense now amongst sh0jdefenceless ? like, you:'s just defenceless? like, you know, you open your doors one day and there's every chance that at some point during that day to walk day someone's just going to walk straight brass put straight in bold as brass put a load of things in their bag, walk off, then might be walk off, and then it might be up to decide whether or up to you to decide whether or not want to try to tackle not you want to try to tackle them. not a position them. and that's not a position anyone be in. anyone wants to be in. >> yeah, look, i think it's not universal. i mean, there are there are different experiences in different parts of the country . but fundamentally, yes, country. but fundamentally, yes, retailers shop retailers are now expecting shop theft as certainly weekly, probably daily occurrence in their store . and often it comes

their store. and often it comes with this very brazen approach . with this very brazen approach. and if you do challenge and some retailers have a policy where they're challenge, they're likely to challenge, perhaps independent perhaps particularly independent retailers, but across the retailers, but but across the board, we say everyone, people are property are more important than property and so be very careful in doing that. and we urge people not to challenge normal challenge as a as a normal policy. they and they know policy. but they and they know that when you do challenge, that can often be a trigger for violence, abuse and it really escalating quickly but not challenging doesn't mean doing nothing. it's really important to report every incident to the police can get a picture of it. but first, on an overall scale of what's happening, but also identifying those individuals and most retailers now, they've got cctv, they've got other systems they can identify. they can get evidence and capturing that evidence is really important, obviously, for that to have to to be worth anything, we have to have the police a real have the police making a real commitment to investigate. and that think , has been lacking that i think, has been lacking in areas . we are hearing in many areas. we are hearing from government much more and from government much more and from a lot of police officers and police and crime commissioners bit more of a

commissioners is a bit more of a commitment really commitment here. and we really need push on need to push push through on that because with that commitment, we can start to see this least trying this problem at least trying to make this problem at least trying to ma look, if i had a magic wand >> look, if i had a magic wand now, what would you want? because is the kind because this is the kind of thing we continue to thing that we can continue to talk try and push talk about. we can try and push for we can and for here. we can try and put a bit of pressure on this. the government, opposition, government, the opposition, whoever, government, the opposition, whoe like year government, the opposition, whoelike year or so's look like in a year or so's time. what's your magic time. what's what's your magic wand dream here, then what happens for you? sadly there is no magic wand. >> patrick it's a number of things. it's retailers reporting crime every time. as i said , crime every time. as i said, it's the police committing to investigate . it doesn't mean investigate. it doesn't mean they'll flashing blue lights investigate. it doesn't mean they'll aroundiing blue lights investigate. it doesn't mean they'll aroundiing cornerghts investigate. it doesn't mean they'll aroundiing corner every investigate. it doesn't mean they'there'sndiing corner every investigate. it doesn't mean they' there's aning corner every investigate. it doesn't mean they' there's an incident.r every time there's an incident. we might like that, but frankly, that's not the for that's not been the case for many, many years . what many, many years. what we do need commitment need is a commitment to investigate crime then investigate that crime and then a commitment courts to a commitment from the courts to take that seriously. and cps take that seriously. and the cps to that seriously and see to take that seriously and see appropriate penalties used so that might rehabilitation, that might be rehabilitation, it might might be fines, might be prison might be fines, whatever is . at the whatever the approach is. at the moment, are too many moment, there are too many points chain where it's points in that chain where it's just too difficult to get hold

of. it's too difficult to deal with. they're too much of it. and got to crack so and we've got to crack that. so unfortunately, there's magic unfortunately, there's no magic wand. it's complicated, it's hard everyone. we have hard work for everyone. we have to that. absolutely. hard work for everyone. we have to look, that. absolutely. hard work for everyone. we have to look, james, ll. absolutely. hard work for everyone. we have to look, james, thankolutely. hard work for everyone. we have to look, james, thankolutevery >> look, james, thank you very much. chat to you much. great to chat chat to you again soon. it'sjames again very soon. it's james lowman the chief lowman there. he's the chief executive the association executive of the association of convenience executive of the association of c

sunday mornings from 930 on gb news as . welcome back. news as. welcome back. >> it's 326. you're watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news on tv, radio and online. now, in a few minutes we will discuss ben wallace. remember him? former defence sack. he's claiming that human rights laws are protecting terrorists . so i'm human rights laws are protecting terrorists. so i'm just going to ask, is there such a thing as too rights and too many human rights and there's the latest on the future

of mullah tobias ellwood after he a video that jacob he released a video that jacob rees—mogg , mogg said could have rees—mogg, mogg said could have been issued by the taliban tourist board. don't worry, i'll be playing you a bit of that a day after some senior tory mps warned that westminster could have been infiltrated by a chinese ring. there's chinese spy ring. well, there's been another major development. it's that the it's emerged that the conservative party dropped two potential candidates to become mps after m15 warned that they could be chinese spies. concerning stuff, it comes after a tory parliamentary researcher was arrested on suspicion of spying for beijing. although it's important to say , he says, it's important to say, he says, that he's completely innocent . that he's completely innocent. let's speak now to our deputy political editor, tom harwood . political editor, tom harwood. tom, fantastic stuff . okay. so tom, fantastic stuff. okay. so yeah , what's the latest then yeah, what's the latest then with another development ? i with another development? i mean, how deep does the alleged chinese rock go ? chinese rock go? >> well, there are now four potential areas of concern . potential areas of concern. >> we'll remember the absolutely extraordinary, unprecedented step a year ago when m15 decided

to name one christine lee as a quote , agent of influence for quote, agent of influence for the chinese communist party . the chinese communist party. >> she was the individual who donated to several politicians, including barry gardiner and sir ed davey . and indeed, her son ed davey. and indeed, her son had been working in parliament as well. that was the first step on this road and of course, later only last week or so, we learn of this arrest of an individual who had worked for two conservative mps who most media outlets are choosing not to name, because, of course, this individual individual maintains his innocence, saying that he has no links to the chinese communist party and in fact abhors their worldview. however, the latest development is that two individuals on the conservative party's candidate list . now conservative party's candidate list. now it's important to stress that these aren't individuals who have been selected for seats . they're

words of m15. similarly when it comes to the individual who had been a staff member for two separate conservative mps, and when the prime minister knew about that individual whose arrest we are not getting any confirmations from number 10, saying the line out from number 10 is that this is an act of police investigation and therefore they will not comment i >> -- >> yeah, i mean, it's concerning stuff . it's hardly a shock, stuff. it's hardly a shock, i think, is it, that china would be trying to spy on us? i mean, that much is pretty obvious, no doubt. we try and do a fair bit of i think it's the of it back. but i think it's the idea, it, that maybe they idea, isn't it, that maybe they have managed to infiltrate the governing say it, governing party, dare i say it, elements the opposition as elements of the opposition as well should be a concern for people. look, tom, thank you very much. it's also incredibly nice to see you your nice to see you with your clothes your recent clothes on after your recent houday clothes on after your recent holiday deputy holiday in mykonos. deputy political editor, the tom harwood lighting up your television screens. not for the first time now, though. still to come after come between now and 4:00, after ben criticised what he ben wallace criticised what he called of laws that called the lunacy of laws that protect suspect terrorists. when

rights and does human rights legislation actually put us all at risk because it protects people who want to do us harm ? people who want to do us harm? former defence secretary ben wallace has criticised what he called the lunacy of laws that prevent britain from carrying out raids abroad to capture terror suspects. he said the uk was being forced to kill enemies of britain or leave them to continue plotting attacks. i know the human rights issue has raised its head as well, quite a lot to say the least when it comes to people crossing the channel comes to people crossing the channel, they're channel, whether or not they're allowed on barges allowed to be housed on barges in bases, return to in military bases, return to their countries . et cetera. their own countries. et cetera. et cetera. do we have too many human rights? is there such a thing? i'm joined now by international human rights lawyer david haye. david, do we have too many human rights ? have too many human rights? >> i think. good afternoon , patrick. >> i think from my side, the short answer is no. >> you know, there are some bafic >> you know, there are some basic human rights which various instruments protect. the issue that we're seeing again and again is how those again and again is how those have interpreted . and

have been interpreted. and obviously things change over the years when look at when the years. when you look at when the european on human european convention on human rights put in, we're a rights was put in, we're in a different world. and may be different world. and it may be that hasn't that the interpretation hasn't kept modern kept up with the modern situation we're but situation that we're in, but we certainly have too many certainly don't have too many human rights. >> okay . all right. i mean, the >> okay. all right. i mean, the protection of those human rights i was to protect i thought really was to protect people i aren't people like you and i who aren't terrorists , least last terrorists, at least not last time checked. but if time i checked. right. but if they protecting they end up protecting terrorists and putting at terrorists and putting us all at risk, that's bad human rights, isn't it ? isn't it? >> well, i think the issue that you have with human rights is for be effective human for them to be effective human rights effectively. rights laws effectively. they need universal. need to be universal. >> or sinner , because >> so saint or sinner, because at point of deciding who is at the point of deciding who is at the point of deciding who is a then you bring into a sinner, then you bring into things fair trials. things like fair trials. >> now, the issue that we're seeing with ben seeing with with with ben wallace to, it's wallace boils down to, and it's something that's been going on for essentially in the for decades, essentially in the european human rights european courts of human rights , down to what is , and it boils down to what is juristic action? because under the the european the convention of the european convention, uk , are convention, we, the uk, are basically that people in basically saying that people in our jurisdiction basically saying that people in ourjurisdiction are afforded the human rights in the act and

then when you're looking at, say, for instance, a military raid in an overseas country, if we shoot and kill that person in that raid, they're not in our control. but if we and this is where this ridiculous, where this this ridiculous, absurd come from, absurd situation has come from, if capture them , then they're if we capture them, then they're in jurisdiction of the uk in the jurisdiction of the uk technically, and you need to then afford them the human rights. an absurd rights. so yes, that's an absurd situation one which the situation and it's one which the conservatives going to conservatives were going to address the bill of rights, address in the bill of rights, which scrapped. yeah. which which they scrapped. yeah. which specifically of specifically took it out of that. you know, the scenario. >> but also, you know, as we know, they dropped that. >> get that, you know, people >> i get that, you know, people like essentially are god on a like me essentially are god on a stick might nightmare for stick might be a nightmare for somebody a human stick might be a nightmare for sometlawyer. a human stick might be a nightmare for sometlawyer. but a human stick might be a nightmare for sometlawyer. but i a human stick might be a nightmare for sometlawyer. but i look a human stick might be a nightmare for sometlawyer. but i look at) human rights lawyer. but i look at this now and i read what this now and i just read what ben wallace said. there are ben wallace has said. there are a number individuals pose ben wallace has said. there are a rimminentindividuals pose ben wallace has said. there are a rimminent threat uals pose ben wallace has said. there are a rimminent threat ualthe pose ben wallace has said. there are a rimminent threat ualthe tho an imminent threat to the uk who i would prefer to captured i would prefer to have captured rather than deal with by a strike. but we can't do that. but then i would look at that and go, well, so what we break a human rights law once by capturing no one's human rights law once by capturto; no one's human rights law once by capturto complain no one's human rights law once by capturto complain . no one's going to complain. >> agree. mean, it is it is

>> i agree. i mean, it is it is absurd. but equally, those same human rights laws protect our forces when they go to, for instance, afghanistan and the british ministry of defence hasn't given them enough equipment them. it equipment to protect them. so it protects those protects them in those situations, stops situations, it equally stops foreign countries doing military raids in our country without knowledge of our a government and abusing people's human rights. so it goes both ways, but it does it is something that needs attention because that is an absurd situation where he goes goes on. goes on, he goes on. >> sorry to interrupt. but david, goes on to david, i mean, he goes on to say, had found osama bin say, if we had found osama bin laden, wouldn't have been laden, we wouldn't have been able the raid that the able to launch the raid that the us i think is by most us did, which i think is by most people's metrics , absolutely people's metrics, absolutely absurd. i mean, we, we could have found the guy who masterminded a plot to fly planes into the twin towers, etcetera. we could have found that guy and we wouldn't have been able to do anything like the americans did. >> yeah, correct . and that's >> yeah, correct. and that's absurd. and that's, i think, down to because the law the law basically says jurisdiction and

it's the judges that have interpreted what is or isn't jurisdiction . and that's the jurisdiction. and that's the problem . problem. >> right. right. and this is this is the important bit of this is the important bit of this discussion now, which is about of the about the application of the human rights. isn't it? because we lot, don't we? where we see it a lot, don't we? where again, from where i'm sitting, only think human rights laws are there taking because there for the taking because i think quite easy to think it's quite easy to manufacture a certain claims whether it's oh, i've got a deep seated of water, therefore seated fear of water, therefore i can't be housed this , this i can't be housed on this, this migrant barge, for example, or i'm, , a homosexual. i i'm, you know, a homosexual. i can't possibly go back to my home country, all of that stuff . it does appear to me that it's quite easy to game the system when it comes to human rights at the moment. and you do see it as well. i mean, like, for example , the some of the people who were convicted for the grooming gang scandals in britain, which was lowest low , was like the lowest of the low, invoking human rights laws to try to sure they can stay try to make sure they can stay in this. and in the uk and all of this. and i think just sticks craw think it just sticks in the craw a little so so do judges a little bit. so so do judges need be given rocket ? i

need to be given a rocket? i mean, that work ? mean, how does that work? >> i that's the that's the >> i think that's the that's the thing. law fairly thing. the law is fairly straightforward in that it says, for instance, in this case jurisdiction in. now, normally we that meant we would assume that meant the uk. this has been expanded uk. this has now been expanded to places within our to mean places within our control , people within our control, people within our control. judges over a control. it's the judges over a couple of decades in the european have european courts that have literally and literally gone backwards and forwards in what they believe is and . so it's forwards in what they believe is and moving . so it's forwards in what they believe is and moving and . so it's forwards in what they believe is and moving and so . so it's forwards in what they believe is and moving and so it'so it's forwards in what they believe is and moving and so it's thes ever moving and so it's the judges that perhaps need to be looked at and addressed and the interpreted version of those laws. like i said, was laws. now, like i said, it was the had that the bill of rights. had that gone had gone through specifically had a provision to pull out of the jurisdiction , military jurisdiction, military operations. but but then by doing that, then that could also lose protection for our troops if the ministry of defence, for instance, doesn't provide them with the equipment they need. so it's a very difficult situation . but i absolutely agree with you. there's some absolutely absurd cases and the laws are being abused and that that needs to stop. yeah i mean, i look at who enforces that, know what

nationality they are enforcing laws . laws. >> laws that could mean that british citizens are put at risk by not being able to go and capture an isis jihadi abroad. i mean , do they include countries mean, do they include countries like luxembourg and san marino, for example ? for example? >> absolutely. i mean, in this case, it's the european court of human rights effectively and in certain cases, our own our own our own courts as well, applying that law so effectively . but that law so effectively. but what we've got to remember is that previous governments entered into these obligations. they signed these laws and brought them in. so what we need to do and i say it a few times before, if we want to get out of them, then we our government needs to change the laws and pull of these jurisdiction. >> so we're going would >> so we're going to we would have to would leave have to we would have to leave the in in this the echr for in in this scenario, i think i think we would i mean, i'm not in favour of i think this of that, but i think in this scenario , unless can change scenario, unless we can change the applicability of how the current interpretation of these laws is , yeah, we'd have, we'd laws is, yeah, we'd have, we'd have to leave .

have to leave. >> and you know, even when the bill being bill of rights was being proposed, was a provision, proposed, there was a provision, like i said, that would us like i said, that would pull us out jurisdictional out of this jurisdictional problem. it came to problem. when it came to military operations, but that would complete loggerheads would be a complete loggerheads with echr. so you'd with the existing echr. so you'd have then had more court battles. think, you know, battles. so i think, you know, a government does need to address this, i don't think one this, but i don't think the one that has the time that we've got has got the time or the ability to. and as i mentioned, the bill mentioned, they pulled the bill of yeah, exactly. look, david, mentioned, they pulled the bill of ye youexactly. look, david, mentioned, they pulled the bill of ye you very.y. look, david, mentioned, they pulled the bill of ye you very much.., david, mentioned, they pulled the bill of ye you very much. fascinating thank you very much. fascinating discussion really discussion. really, really informative , informative stuff. david hague, there international human there is an international human rights lawyer. am deeply rights lawyer. i am deeply interested in what ben wallace has had to say. i think many people, not all, but many people, not all, but many people, ben as people, regard ben wallace as being pretty straightforward people, regard ben wallace as beingof retty straightforward people, regard ben wallace as beingof chap.;traightforward people, regard ben wallace as beingof chap.;traightf defence kind of chap. former defence minister, course, know, minister, of course, you know, basically the echr just basically blasting the echr just saying lunacy that now, saying it's lunacy that now, as you , that there can you heard there, that there can be judges from places like luxembourg and san marino and other minnow nations really who could have a say not just in the old border debate about who we can and can't deport, for goodness sake, which i think should be a complete matter of sovereignty complete

sovereignty, complete matter of national but also national sovereignty. but also about we can about whether or not we can launch that launch operations abroad that could end up saving lives, certainly when it comes to protecting from protecting ourselves from terrorists. i don't see why any other country in the world should have any say over that. but alas, here we are. how do you feel? does this latest kind of developmental revelation or comment ben wallace make comment from ben wallace make you likely to want you more or less likely to want to in the echr? get in touch. to be in the echr? get in touch. let me views let me know. gb views gbnews.com. but tory mps. let me know. gb views gbnews.com. but tory mps . tobias gbnews.com. but tory mps. tobias ellwood ah yes . well he could be ellwood ah yes. well he could be forced out as chairman of the defence select committee. he's in trouble after releasing a controversial video that was compared to the sort of film that would be done by the taliban on tourist board. we will have the latest in an exclusive, our political editor very shortly. patrick christys gb news is britain's news

claims the police then sent his phone to gchq to be examined, demanded to know how he voted in the brexit referendum , and even the brexit referendum, and even contacted the wife of his vicar to find out what they prayed about. this is just absolutely bonkers, isn't it? obviously he wanted to complain about this, as anybody would , so he did so as anybody would, so he did so to the met police claiming that the officer's treatment of him was absurdly heavy handed and violent and left him with post—traumatic stress disorder. now, according to the telegraph, who've done great work getting this piece, the way, a police this piece, by the way, a police investigation by the professional unit, professional standards unit, which apparently operates from the same building as overseas complaints involving counter terrorism command did shockingly not uphold any of his allegations. so he then went up the chain to the independent office for police conduct. who in june ruled that it had not been properly investigated . so been properly investigated. so now they are going to reinvestigate it. well, it sounds very much like they should , doesn't mean, should, doesn't it? i mean, goodness i new being goodness me, i new being a brexiteer and wanting to stop

illegal immigration in the channel got your bank accounts at closed but had no at coutts closed but i had no idea that having a selfie with jacob rees—mogg meant that you could be considered a far right extremist. your house could be raided by terror cops before your you made catch yourself your you made to catch yourself in the back of a police van and then sit in it all night. look, dare i say it, but that's the kind alleged police activity kind of alleged police activity that actually be worth that might actually be worth protesting in the street about . protesting in the street about. it's i'll have a little bit more on this later. vaiews@gbnewscom. but anyone out there now , if you've got a out there now, if you've got a selfie, if you've got a selfie with jacob rees—mogg on your phone , you want to be very phone, you want to be very careful, let tell you. careful, let me tell you. but yes, said, more that yes, like i said, more on that later. but our top story this houn later. but our top story this hour, a violent exchange between later. but our top story this h

listening. on radio, there is a shopkeeper there who appears to be accosting a black woman in the shop and there's a little bit of a fracas, to say the least. you can see in the video. there are some kicks and a bit of waving, etcetera . anyway, of bag waving, etcetera. anyway, a around 100 a group of around 100 demonstrated accusing the shop owner of racism and misogyny . owner of racism and misogyny. police did arrest the female suspect. they also questioned the shopkeeper under her caution. so in a nutshell, it's alleged that the shopkeeper didn't offer a refund to her for some products . she then some products. she then allegedly said , well, i'm going allegedly said, well, i'm going to take some stuff. then there was that fracas, and now this is a massive racial issue on the streets of peckham. i'm joined now social policy analyst dr. now by social policy analyst dr. raqeeb hassan. doctor raqeeb, thank very much. forgive me, thank you very much. forgive me, but is this a visible sign of diversity in multiculturalism in britain failing ? britain failing? >> well, i think that it shows that diversity in our inner cities is by no means an unadulterated good . patrick and

unadulterated good. patrick and that's a point that i've made in many of our previous interviews that some of the most , many of our previous interviews that some of the most, um, sharpest social tensions in modern britain do not involve the white british mainstream at all. and i'd make this point that tensions between elements of the black and asian asian populations in our country see, this is not this is not new. we had the 2005 birmingham riots, which i'm sure you can remember, in areas such as lozells, where there were tensions between the asian and community. is there specifically communities of pakistani heritage and black canbbean pakistani heritage and black caribbean origin? so my point is that when we look at community relations, i think there's far too many people, patrick, who look at in white versus non—white terms, when the reality is far more complicated than exactly. >> and i'm really pleased that you've made that point. i am now going read some of the signs going to read some of the signs that have been posted on this shopkeeper's shop in peckham,

and they say things like parasitic merchant , it's out of parasitic merchant, it's out of our community. we've also got another one here. go to hell, east asians . black women matter east asians. black women matter . there's a lot of this going around. and yeah, quite a lot of it. i can't read for obvious reasons. now, if people in the white community had done that, that would be overt racism, wouldn't it? why is this different ? different? >> well. >> well. >> well, it is racism. it's clear as day. and i think that in ethnically and racially diverse communities , there's diverse communities, there's elements of the asian heritage population in the uk which are anti—black , and there's also anti—black, and there's also elements of the wider black population in the uk which are anti asian. i think that all anti asian. and i think that all too these various too often these various prejudices , they're overlooked prejudices, they're overlooked largely because we have supposedly pro diversity advocates. they're busy focusing on bigoted attitudes and the white british mainstream when

they don't realise there's some deeply bigoted attitudes and prejudicial views within minority communities themselves i >> -- >> yeah, indeed. so i mean, what has to be done about this now? because to be honest with you, i don't really want to live in a society. i'm sure you don't. i'm sure our viewers and listeners don't in society don't want to live in a society where, you know, a relatively minor alleged incident, a shop in peckham where somebody may or may not have been too heavy handed with somebody who may or may not have been shoplifting. right. in, you know, right. can result in, you know, massive racial tensions on the street. the mayor's got involved. he said he can't piped up.the involved. he said he can't piped up. the police need to urgently have a look at this and was pretty quiet about what went on in notting hill carnival by the way. there go . we way. but alas, there we go. we don't want live in this don't want to live in this society, we? were. that's all society, do we? were. that's all it takes to start kind of very it takes to start a kind of very low riot now. low level race riot now. >> absolutely. if you want to live in a truly successful, multiracial democracy, you have to be honest about the drawbacks of diversity . and diversity is

of diversity. and diversity is not a strength unless it's tied together under shared values and a sense of common purpose . have a sense of common purpose. have to be honest about that. and i think that in order to manage that diversity , there needs to that diversity, there needs to be strong law order. some of be strong law and order. some of the most enthusiastic pro diversity know diversity advocates i know they're liberal when they're incredibly liberal when it to law and order, and it comes to law and order, and they've abandoned integration it comes to law and order, and tipriority.)andoned integration it comes to law and order, and tipriority. it'sioned integration it comes to law and order, and tipriority. it's simplyitegration a priority. it's simply unworkable. you want to make unworkable. if you want to make progress, have be honest . progress, we have to be honest. if you to live in a if you want to live in a progressive, multiracial democracy, be democracy, you need to be conservative when it comes to law and order. and instead of having faire approach having a laissez faire approach to multiculturalism, you need to focus more on integration and shared otherwise we're shared values. otherwise we're simply make any simply not going to make any progress . progress. >> now there's this kind >> yeah, now there's this kind of , more paramilitary of bizarre, more paramilitary style group that popped up. i first saw it in the wake of the george floyd issue that took place in america. and then when that kind of spilled out over here, it's the forever family for bts, they're called. and it's a group of black men and

women who were for paramilitary style gear. i suppose you could call it as that. there's a lot of berets, a lot of balaclavas doing the rounds, the kind of stab proof, bullet—proof vest, whatever you want to call them, walkie fatigue walkie talkies, military fatigue , walking around in formation , , walking around in formation, doing a lot of shouting about how they're here to protect a black community and things. and i don't know if having a paramilitary style racial force on the streets of a country does anything for race relations . anything for race relations. >> well, i i'd have to agree with you if we really want to talk about the protection of british black communities, especially in a city london, then we need to be honest about then we need to be honest about the realities of knife crime. and when we're looking at gang related knife crime, the perpetrators and victims are disproportionately young black men. and i think that all too often we see anti—racists . they often we see anti—racists. they want to overlook that particular

kind of violence within british black communities. kind of violence within british black communities . and i think black communities. and i think the more generally when you're looking at london as we've discussed, patrick, it's incredibly complex when you're looking at how different communities interact with one another. what we're seeing in peckham, i think there's a degree of resentment, if truth be told, different ethnic groups have different rates of business ownership for example. ownership, for example. and interestingly, peckham, ownership, for example. and interestingly, peckham , the interestingly, in peckham, the black the black population outnumbers the asian population a fair asian population by quite a fair bit . but the businesses that bit. but the businesses that cater specifically for british black customers , they are many black customers, they are many of them are actually asian owned. and i think that we need to ask why is that the case? and i think that more generally, what you're seeing there is you have ethnically diverse communities. there's socioeconomic disparities between particular groups, and there may be ethno racial prejudices feeding into all of that. and if you put all of that together. well, i'm sorry, it's very difficult to maintain social cohesion under those kind

of conditions. >> how scared should people be going forward as we continue to see rapid levels of legal and illegal migration in this country? huge numbers of people coming from all over the world with a variety of different religious and ethnic and racial backgrounds mixing together in giant melting pots like we see in london, like we see in birmingham, like we see in manchester, see in vast manchester, like we see in vast swathes of yorkshire. probably every let's swathes of yorkshire. probably evehonest let's swathes of yorkshire. probably evehonest you. let's swathes of yorkshire. probably evehonest you. and_et's swathes of yorkshire. probably evehonest you. and now be honest with you. and now increasingly the increasingly spilling out the urban into urban areas as urban sprawl into urban areas as well . how concerned should well. how concerned should people be? i don't really want to use the phrase indigenous brits because i don't really know what that means anymore. but people who've lived here their whole lives etcetera, their whole lives or etcetera, of issues that have got nothing to with them really being to do with them really being fought on the streets of britain i >> -- >> no, absolutely. and i think , >> no, absolutely. and i think, you know, we're approaching the one year anniversary of the large scale public disorder that we saw leicester, example we saw in leicester, for example , is primarily between , which is primarily between hindu and muslim youths. , which is primarily between hindu and muslim youths . and how hindu and muslim youths. and how i describe that as the spilling

of subconscious mental style communalism on the streets of an engush communalism on the streets of an english regional city. and i made the point that when you look at the politics in leicester, for example , much of leicester, for example, much of it's focussed on indo—pak tensions surrounding kashmir, for example , and that can be for example, and that can be incredibly alienating for white working class communities. there who want to see the bread and butter focus of education, employment , butter focus of education, employment, health care and all the rest of it. so, so in short , i— the rest of it. so, so in short , i think we need to guard against complacency . we now, as against complacency. we now, as against complacency. we now, as a multiracial democracy , we may a multiracial democracy, we may be far better positioned than france, germany and the netherlands. but that's not to say that there aren't significant improvements to be made. are. and made. they certainly are. and i think that we shouldn't too think that we shouldn't be too complacent front. think that we shouldn't be too conlook,ent front. think that we shouldn't be too conlook, doctor. front. think that we shouldn't be too conlook, doctor. q front. think that we shouldn't be too conlook, doctor. q iront. think that we shouldn't be too conlook, doctor. q i want >> look, doctor. q i want to thank very much for coming thank you very much for coming on. speak on. you always speak so intelligent about very, intelligent really about a very, very minefield very complex minefield of an issue. would just urge issue. and i would just urge everybody as well to just go and look up doctor ricky burson, go and some the stuff and look at some of the stuff that about other that he's written about other

incidents past and his incidents in the past and his general musings on society, really analyst really social policy analyst dr. raqeeb . look, what you raqeeb ahsan. look, what do you make that? make of all of that? vaiews@gbnewscom? i think it's incredibly concerning. it is incredibly concerning. it is incredibly concerning. it is incredibly concerning an incredibly concerning that an incident like that can go and cause extreme . cause something that extreme. um, and frankly, long is it um, and frankly, how long is it before we see something else? he's mentioned different he's mentioned a few different issues certainly am issues there. i certainly am very we are going very concerned that we are going to issues between different to see issues between different communities out on the communities spilling out on the streets of britain. i'm just saying you know why. saying why you know why. and again , can't but feel as again, i can't help but feel as though ultimately and bizarrely, it will end up being the police who carry the can for this, who are seen as a white authoritarian organisation anyway, for something that isn't their we go . their fault. but there we go. shoplifting in general is becoming growing issue in the becoming a growing issue in the uk costing retailers uk and is costing retailers hundreds of millions of pounds every as the rise every single year as the rise has been put down to the cost of living crisis. now last year police recorded total of police recorded a total of 342,343 offences in england and wales . that is up from a total wales. that is up from a total of 275,076 offences during the previous 12 months. that is a

significant increase of around 24. you can see why people are referring to it as a shoplifting epidemic . the cost to uk epidemic. the cost to uk retailers has been estimated to be around £660 million in the year ending march 2022. i find that astonishing. i'm sure a lot of people will, as well. it really must be a desperately sad situation if you are a shopkeeper owning a small corner shopkeeper owning a small corner shop or something to know that when you pull your shutters up in morning, is every in the morning, there is every chance potentially chance that someone potentially using is going to come using violence is going to come in and just take things from your there's very your store. and there's very little can about it. do little you can do about it. do you fight back? can't you fight back? well, you can't really can you? as vigilante stuff, do the police bother to turn well, apparently not. turn up? well, apparently not. according shopkeepers, it's according to shopkeepers, it's almost someone should according to shopkeepers, it's almost a someone should according to shopkeepers, it's almost a campaign|e should according to shopkeepers, it's almost a campaign aboutrld according to shopkeepers, it's almost a campaign about this. launch a campaign about this. isn't lots isn't it? but you can get lots more story on our more on this story on our website. the fastest website. gbnews.com. the fastest growing national news site in the best the country. all the best analysis, and the analysis, big opinion and the latest breaking news now as the nhs under the strain of nhs creaks under the strain of the obesity crisis, tony blair. yes, the man himself, he's back.

he's called for a junk food tax . he wants to make it impossible for poor people to buy junk food. good grief. tony patrick christys gb news, britain's news

online gb news. britain's news. channel >> well welcome back it is 424. you're watching and listening to me patrick christys on gb news on your tv, radio and online. in a few minutes i will talk about

the former civil servant who says that police used a photo of himself with our very own jacob rees—mogg as evidence that he was a far right extremist. it andifs was a far right extremist. it and it's emerged that the tories dropped two potential candidates to become mps after m15 warned that they may well be chinese spies . but that they may well be chinese spies. but captain unflushable is back. tony blair has claimed a junk food tax would help people to lose weight because it would make unhealthy meals more unaffordable . okay, so blair unaffordable. okay, so blair compared the policy to the ban on smoking in public places, which came in when he was prime minister in two thousand and seven, almost two thirds of adults in england are overweight or obese . but forgive me, you or obese. but forgive me, you don't encourage, quote unquote, encourage people to stop doing something by making it completely unaffordable for them to do it. well, you encourage poor people not to be able to go on holiday and bore a borough. do you, by pricing them out of it, you encourage them not to

eat by making it too eat lobster by making it too expensive. it's the same logic. it in view , the kind expensive. it's the same logic. it logic in view , the kind expensive. it's the same logic. it logic that view , the kind expensive. it's the same logic. it logic that a view , the kind expensive. it's the same logic. it logic that a totalitarian kind of logic that a totalitarian dictator would use. but am dictator would use. but who am i to possibly allege such a thing? i'm joined now by the emeritus professor and health professor of food and health policy at the city university of london, professor martin caraher . martin, thank you very, very much. great have you on the much. great to have you on the show. there any merit the show. is there any merit to the idea making impossible for idea of making it impossible for poor afford junk food ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think 7— >> i think it's em 7 >> i think it's not just poor people. >> it's the whole population , an >> it's the whole population, an the whole population are getting heavier . heavier. >> people on low incomes are getting are heavier, proportionately . more of them proportionately. more of them are heavier. but we already have are heavier. but we already have a soft drinks levy , a soft drinks industry levy, which was introduced by george osborne . um, and that's been osborne. um, and that's been working and it's cut it. it has succeeded in reduce the consumption of soft drinks . consumption of soft drinks. it's, it's essentially a sugar levy. the national food strategy, which was commissioned by michael gove when he was at defra and produced by henry

dimbleby, recommended a reformulation tax on salt and sugan reformulation tax on salt and sugar, which the government, i have to say, have kicked into touch. but i think could we not, could we not do something a bit different? >> right? could we not look at it completely differently and instead well , it completely differently and instead well, make good instead of make well, make good food cheaper ? food cheaper? >> exactly . mean? i think one of >> exactly. mean? i think one of the things we'd have to subsidise good food. one of the things the marketing budgets for unhealthy food is for times that of unhealthy food because the price differential on fresh fruit and veg is so marginal, people don't have the money to advertise . so you're right. and advertise. so you're right. and that was one of the things that the soft industry, the soft dnnks the soft industry, the soft drinks industry levy done, it collected the tax to help with good works to promote healthy eating . so we could you could do eating. so we could you could do both. i don't see the one prickly the other personally . prickly the other personally. >> you don't think there's anything morally wrong about saying that you're going to make it harder for poorer people to buy the foods that they may

enjoy ? i mean, i don't think enjoy? i mean, i don't think it's making it just harder for poorer. >> it's also young people, young people are at risk. and the young people across all socioeconomic groups that are at risk. so i think there's a case there for putting. but the industry levy is important to remember. the levy is levied on the producer. of remember. the levy is levied on the producer . of course, remember. the levy is levied on the producer. of course, there's a fallout for the consumer there. but what's happened is most of the if you think the soft drinks levy, most people have reformed related to the correct side of the reformulation. so they've reduced their sugar and most people haven't noticed it's the same with salt and bread. we've reduced salt in bread massively through agreements with the industry and most people haven't even noticed the difference. and this has a population effect as opposed to an individual effect i >> -- >> you don't think this just has the hallmarks of something like quite totalitarian about it, really. i mean , if it's this now really. i mean, if it's this now , you know, what next?

>> well, maybe we ban smoking completely. maybe maybe we. yeah, but this is it, though, isn't it? >> you know, let's be honest. that's the next logical step, isn't you so you ban isn't it? then you so you ban the sale of smoking. i mean vapes are thing it vapes now are the thing where it goes, know, right . okay. so goes, you know, right. okay. so some getting and some kids are getting hooked and we've why we've got to ban it. well, why do to ban everything? do we have to ban everything? we're looking at slaughtering every as we're looking at slaughtering everythat's as we're looking at slaughtering everythat's about as we're looking at slaughtering everythat's about it as we're looking at slaughtering everythat's about it . as we're looking at slaughtering every that's about it . why well. that's about ban it. why aren't this? can't we aren't we doing this? can't we just can't you just wheel out jamie wheel jamie oliver? right. wheel out jamie oliver? right. wheel out jamie again ? get him to jamie oliver again? get him to go to school. show go round to the school. show them of a chicken and them the inside of a chicken and go. eat go. look, you don't want to eat that. hopefully they that. and then hopefully they buy apples. >> it won't because those >> but it won't because those mean the inside of a chicken on some of our high streets is cheapen some of our high streets is cheaper. it's cheaper to buy that than to buy healthy food. i mean, jamie's had a profound impact on making us aware of these things. but he hasn't brought about the change in behaviour here. the problem is we're looking to individual change behaviour and go to change in behaviour and go to the national food strategy , run the national food strategy, run written henry dimbleby , who written by henry dimbleby, who ran the lion restaurants before

he sold it on, you know, hardly a left wing advocate is saying we need to control this, what he calls the junk food cycle. one way, not the only way is to impose some control on it, not to ban it, but control. impose some control on it, not to ban it, but control . well, to ban it, but control. well, what about personal responsibility , martin? responsibility, martin? >> what about, of course, we all have, but i still want to have my chocolate bar. >> you know , you're not going to >> you know, you're not going to stop. i'm banning chocolate. >> it. no, i'm >> i'm banning it. no, i'm taking chocolate off taking your chocolate bar off you. you be you. martin. you can't be trusted chocolate bar. trusted to eat a chocolate bar. honestly i'm going that honestly i'm going to prize that chocolate bar. >> million prize ireland. >> £1 million prize in ireland. come patrick. you know, come on, patrick. you know, there are around you there are ways around that. you know, chocolate is better know, irish chocolate is better than i'm sure it is. than english. i'm sure it is. >> i'm sure it is. my. my irish relatives be screaming at relatives will be screaming at the tv saying, you are the tv now saying, you are exactly . martin, thank exactly right. martin, thank you very chat . you very much. enjoyable chat. you okay? martin caraher there, who is the professor emeritus, professor nicholas of food and health policy at city university of london. look, i in case you couldn't tell, i do not think the right answer here. right. we've got an obesity epidemic.

linking a civil servant to right wing extremism. >> andrew hale byrne was arrested in october 2020 and the police decided a few months later not to charge him. he says the officers were heavy handed , the officers were heavy handed, an aggressive during interviews . they say a lot more than that. it must be said as well, he says that officers , 14 armed that officers, 14 armed officers, according to him, decided to raid his house. he was recently recovering from a cancer operation and they did not give him the opportunity to go to the toilet before he was in the back of a police van. they joked about that he should defecate in his own trousers, which unfortunately he then did . he then was denied a shower capsin . he then was denied a shower caps in cold cell caps in a cold police cell demand to know which way he voted during the brexit referendum. and even apparently the local vicar was the wife of his local vicar was contacted to out what he contacted to find out what he prayed about . contacted to find out what he prayed about. hm. joining me now is the founder and general secretary of the free speech union , toby young. i mean, toby, union, toby young. i mean, toby, this is well, i mean, this is the kind of behaviour that one would imagine is warrants a

protest on the street, doesn't it ? it? >> it is absolutely shocking. >> it is absolutely shocking. >> patrick. >> patrick. >> the counter—terrorism unit went complete over the top in their investing nation of andrew. >> they were trying to find the person who had leaked something about kim darroch, the us ambassador to washington. he'd made some critical remarks about donald trump while in post. those remarks have been leaked to the press. but the distribution list for the document , which had been leaked, document, which had been leaked, was 35,000 strong. but for some reason, i think andrew's theory is that he'd made some enemies in the department of trade, which he was then working for. so they gave his name as the suspected leaker to the metropolitan police and the metropolitan police and the metropolitan police and the metropolitan police sic the counter—terrorism unit onto him. and they behaved abominably. and the questions they asked him were just unbelievable , highly were just unbelievable, highly intrusive , and certainly a intrusive, and certainly a

breach of his human rights. and i think it's illustrative of a wider problem in the police, patrick, which is the lack of any training about what are free speech rights are the free speech union did a survey we find all the police forces in england and wales to find out what sort of free speech training police officers were receiving. because this kind of thing happens is again and again. and we discovered that 78, at least of those who responded to our foi request, not all did. 78% of forces were providing no free speech training or absolutely negligible free speech training to their officers. meanwhile, they get obviously voluminous amounts of training , which is amounts of training, which is why things like the incident happened last couple of weeks ago in hebden bridge, which the woman being being questioned by west yorkshire police for having taken a photograph of a sticker on a hebden valley pride poster. they really need to understand

why free speech is important and what the legal protections are for free speech. and hopefully if they did , things like this if they did, things like this wouldn't happen. nearly so often. i mean, it's one thing, isn't it ? isn't it? >> we know now, we know that voting for brexit and wanting to control our borders is the kind of thing that gets your bank account okay. we know account closed. okay. we know that think you that. i didn't think that, you know , essentially having know, essentially having a selfie rees—mogg selfie with jacob rees—mogg could well be as evidence could well be used as evidence that you are now a far right extremist . but it that you are now a far right extremist. but it is extraordinary. >> i mean, you think we'll all be taken into custody? well, i've one on my phone. i've got one on my phone. >> i mean, grief. yeah. how long is hear if the is it before they hear if the bar is that low? >> i mean, we saw jacob rees—mogg being treated in a similar way in the prevent report . the report that sir report. the report that sir william shawcross produced on the prevent program and how it had really lost its way and had stopped investigating islamic extremism and was focusing entirely on what it perceived to be right wing extremism and in

an internal report ever since that you were a right wing extremist . it is that you were extremist. it is that you were sympathetic to the views of jacob rees—mogg , who the report jacob rees—mogg, who the report described as sympathetic to far right audiences. another another another trigger which showed you were at risk of radicalisation was if you enjoyed the newspaper columns of douglas murray. rod liddle and melanie phillips. i'm amazed. i wasn't on the list myself. patrick and suella braverman in parliament earlier this week actually condemn formed the prevent programme for citing what was made extreme conservative views as evidence of far right extremism. but these organisations joins the police, as we know, prevent programme are now so captured by woke ideology that if you're anywhere to the right of jeremy corbyn, they think you're in danger of being radicalised and becoming a far right terrorist is just absolutely bonkers . is just absolutely bonkers. >> i mean, we have had in the last day so quite obvious last day or so quite obvious instances of racism towards an asian shopkeeper. we've had kind

of paramilitary style activity on the streets of london of people classed themselves as black rights activists. i'm not really sure what the proper definition is. you know, all that stuff's fine. that's all right . that's okay. you know, right. that's okay. you know, jacob rees—mogg, for goodness sake , i mean, he's a he's the sake, i mean, he's a he's the problem in society . sake, i mean, he's a he's the problem in society. he isn't seeing it. and if that happens, it's heavy handed nature of it's the heavy handed nature of it's the heavy handed nature of it as you've just it as well as as you've just said, know, 14 armed said, you know, 14 armed officers up his door, officers rocking up at his door, supposedly. unfortunately , supposedly. and unfortunately, i'm situation i'm getting into a situation where him in a where them putting him in a situation he's deeply situation where he's deeply uncomfortable of health uncomfortable and sort of health issues he's you know, issues that he's got, you know, ends a in a state where ends up in a in a state where he's forcefully defaecating and having to sit it . i having to having to sit in it. i mean, appear as though mean, it does appear as though there excessive there is an almost excessive focus on i mean, dare i say it, far right ideology that said, what they will say, though, is that far right threats are the fastest growing threats that might find face. so maybe they've got that in the back of their heads when they're knocking someone's door through it. >> yeah, h- hu— >> yeah, but when they come up

with stat, bear in mind with that stat, bear in mind that they're definition of what a far right person is, is someone who enjoys watching jacob rees—mogg on gb news and reads rod liddle's column in the spectator . so if your definition spectator. so if your definition of a far right extremist is so unbelievably broad and absurd , unbelievably broad and absurd, then little wonder you conclude that far right extremism is on the is on the rise. it is. that far right extremism is on the is on the rise. it is . it's the is on the rise. it is. it's absolutely ridiculous. and this is why. >> toby, just one more with you. i think that we are in the situation are in as a society situation we are in as a society where, you know, you now where, you know, if you now express stuff like express a view on stuff like border control or, you know, you are unquote , gender are quote unquote, gender critical you voted for critical or you voted for brexit, it's very easy now for people to just lob things out there like, you are far right. you are the hard right mean that's just rubbish . i mean that'sjust rubbish. i mean you're not you're not part of the national front because you think that we shouldn't necessarily have uncon trolled border situations going on by the national front because you thought maybe we better out thought maybe we are better out of union in the

of the customs union in the single market. >> and it's a way i think of trying to delegitimize is anyone who doesn't conform to the bjorn johnson opinion of the metropolitan elite. so it's a cluster of supposedly dangerous views which which put you at risk of being radicalised if you oppose 15 minute cities, if you oppose 15 minute cities, if you oppose the expansion of ulez , if oppose the expansion of ulez, if you're not completely convinced that we're in the midst of a climate emergency in which everyone is going to be boiled alive within the next few months, if you're opposed to open borders , if you're a open borders, if you're a brexiteer, this poor gentleman that was so mistreated by the counter—terror police was, as you said at the beginning , asked you said at the beginning, asked whether voted for brexit, whether he'd voted for brexit, as though that would have been evidence extreme evidence of his extreme right wing . let's not wing sympathies. let's not forget, 52% of the british population then voted for brexit. are they all extreme right wing potential terrorists? i mean, it's extraordinary. >> this is this is again, it's the double standard as a society

, right. you know, this is a thing that that's happened. yeah and yet we hear so much about like microaggressions or, you know, institutional racism in the police force, all of that stuff. i'm not dismissing completely out of hand some people's negative experiences with the police or or whatever. but you look at something like this, there's something that's actually happening. you think, where's mass where's the where's the mass outrage to this? anyway, so outrage to this? but anyway, so we very, very much. we thank you very, very much. it's is the it's toby young who is the wonderful founder and general secretary of the free speech union . make sure you check the union. make sure you check the free speech union announced on all the platforms. but tory all of the platforms. but tory mps could be forced mps bias ellwood could be forced out defence out as chairman of the defence select committee. he's in trouble releasing trouble after releasing a controversial video that was compared to the sort of film that would be done the that would be done by the taliban board . i will taliban tourist board. i will show you that wonderful video complete with complete by the way, with backing music . and we've got a backing music. and we've got a little exclusive for you as well. patrick christys gb news, business news

sunday mornings from 930 on. gb news. >> well, welcome back. it's 447. you're watching and listening to me. patrick christys on gb news on your tv, online and radio. now at 5 pm, we'll have more on that altercation that of a violent altercation between shop and a between a shop owner and a suspected shoplifter, which has caused race row . are the caused a huge race row. are the accusations of racism justified? but a day after some senior tory mps warned that westminster could have been infiltrated by a chinese spying cell, there's

been a major development. it's emerged that the conservative party dropped to potential candidates to become mps after mi5 candidates to become mps after m15 warned that they could be chinese spies . it comes after chinese spies. it comes after a tory parliamentary researcher was arrested on suspicion of spying for beijing. he says he's completely innocent. but look, let's speak now to our deputy political editor, tom tom harwood. tom, thank you very much . so what is the latest then much. so what is the latest then , this chinese infiltration , an , this chinese infiltration, an alleged appears to be going even further than first thought . further than first thought. >> absolutely. this is a sprawling alleged network uncovered for the most part by mi5, uncovered for the most part by m15, our home security services. but let's zoom out a little bit. people might remember that last yean people might remember that last year, m15 took the unprecedented extra ordinary step of naming someone. they described an agent of influence from the chinese communist party , someone they communist party, someone they referred to as having networked within the top of government.

her name was christine lee. she donated to political candidates andindeed donated to political candidates and indeed mps, people like barry gardiner and sir ed davey received money from her and she had photographs with many people at the top of government as well . mi5 at the top of government as well . m15 published her name in order to warn people about the extent of potential chinese influence operations in westminster and at the heart of government. but a year later, and it seems like that was not the end of the matter, that was only the very beginning because a week or so ago we learned that perhaps as much as six months ago, an individual who had been working for senior conservative mps had been arrested. now most media outlets are choosing not to name this individual because he maintains his innocence and has put out a pretty forthright statement, both condemning the chinese communist party and saying that he is not an agent of that country or that regime

team. but however , of course, team. but however, of course, his arrest must have been predicated on some sort of evidence. and then most recently, we learned aside from those two cases, two further individuals have been flagged to the conservative party from by mi5, the conservative party from by m15, two individuals who were sitting on the conservative party party's candidate list. now, to explain what the list is. these aren't people who had been selected for seats to become mps, yet they were sort of sitting in an approved pool of sitting in an approved pool of candidates that various constituency associations can then pick from to choose to be their candidate, to be an mp. so still a couple of stages removed from actually being elected to parliament, but still through some of those processes already and questions are rightly now being asked why did it take for mi5 to being asked why did it take for m15 to raise questions about these two individuals? how did they get through those initial filters of the conservative party? it's something that has

been asked of cchq as it's known. concerns of campaign headquarters. but they're saying that they do not comment on security matters. and more than that , when it security matters. and more than that, when it comes to the individual who was working as a staffer for various mps who was arrested, number ten are not even telling us when the prime minister was told about this arrest, saying that they will not comment on an active police investigation. goodness me, extreme granular detail there from our very own tom harwood, our deputy political editor. >> thank you very much. now, tobias ellwood, could lose his job as chairman of the defence select committee over a controversial video where he praised the taliban . i'm sure praised the taliban. i'm sure you remember this, if not, i'm going to jog your memory in a second. but ellwood visited afghanistan and then afghanistan in july and then released was released a film which was referred essentially referred to as being essentially a pr job for the taliban . i a pr job for the taliban. i particularly enjoy the backing music to this. take it away, mr ellwood . ellwood. >> and all that's happened here since 911, this is a very

different country indeed. >> it feels different now that the taliban have returned to power. >> well, it may be hard to believe, but security has vastly improved. corruption is down and the opium trade has all but disappeared . disappeared. >> pylons distribute electricity to the cities. >> solar panels are now everywhere, powering irrigation pumps, allowing more crops to grow . grow. >> bannau haven't stoned a woman yet today, but let's talk now to our political editor, christopher. christopher >> so is he. he has gone is he is he . is he. >> christopher hope. hello our political editor is there, i believe. yes. good stuff. >> hi, how are you? >> hi, how are you? >> i'm all right. so what's the latest with tobias ellwood, then? is he clinging on? >> he's clinging on. i mean , >> he's clinging on. i mean, yes, we're not. he is clinging on right now as we speak. patrick if he were to go, he'd be the first committee chairman to go. and almost being losing the confidence of his own members since this new idea of

having elected committee chairman was set up a few years ago. by then speaker john bercow i >> indeed, why is this just come to a head now? because that video was a while ago, right? so why it why is this an issue why is it why is this an issue now ? now? >> it's a slow movement of democracy. patrick because when that committee, that video emerged, there was it was the mps put down a vote of no confidence in him. that then takes ten working days, ten sitting days in parliament. and because we've had a long period of holiday in between when it was put down in july until now, the 10th day runs out tomorrow. so today is the day when he's got to work out are you got to work out what are you going do ? going to do? >> i'll tell you what, you know, the move that the taliban don't move that slowly. tell you. the taliban don't move that slowlythank tell you. the taliban don't move that slowlythank you tell you. the taliban don't move that slowlythank you very, tell you. the taliban don't move that slowlythank you very, veryyou. the taliban don't move that slowlythank you very, very much. look, thank you very, very much. it's on there, it's great to have you on there, christopher. there are our christopher. hope there are our political editor. just filling you ellwood's you in on tobias ellwood's travails. now a violent altercation between a shop owner and a suspected shoplifter in south—east london has caused a

huge race row. look, our accusations of racism justified or frankly , is this a visible or frankly, is this a visible sign that multiculturalism and diversity in melting pot? britain is failing? what can be done about it? do we really want to live in a society where a little flashpoint like that can lead to huge racial divisions within communities ? isaac levido within communities? isaac levido patrick christys gb news. britain's news, gentlemen , the britain's news, gentlemen, the temperature's rising . temperature's rising. >> boxt solar proud sponsors of weather on . gb news. weather on. gb news. >> over the next few days, we are going to see the risk of a few thunderstorms, but it's also heavy rain. many places will see due to an area of low pressure that's currently pushing its way in. you can see that low then just to the northwest of northern ireland. at moment, northern ireland. at the moment, it's making its way it's gradually making its way eastwards through today eastwards as we go through today with fronts . and it's with associated fronts. and it's these fronts that are bringing heavy parts heavy rain across parts of northern into scotland northern ireland into scotland as go through the rest of as we go through the rest of today. that rain then is going today. that rain then is going to way eastwards and

speaken radio, and on your smart speaker. by saying play gb news now back to . patrick now back to. patrick >> well, i see that multiculture ism and diversity is going really well at the moment. an asian shopkeeper is alleged to have assaulted a black woman who is alleged to have been stealing stuff from his shop and now a paramilitary style organisation of black activists called the forever family force have been protect ing for the best part of a day and a bit. now this is the same group who turned up outside a in surrey after a black a school in surrey after a black pupil involved in a fight pupil was involved in a fight with some white children believed be the believed to be from the traveller also traveller community. they also turned the home of the turned up near the home of the parents of kids responsible turned up near the home of the parthey of kids responsible turned up near the home of the parthey of iattack,ponsible turned up near the home of the parthey of iattack, wearing for the alleged attack, wearing stab vest. now that, as stab proof vest. now that, as far can see, appears to be far as i can see, appears to be part of their uniform stab proof vest, walkie talkies, some wear black berets somewhere , black berets somewhere, balaclavas, face masks. so you can't really identify a lot of them , which is a little bit them, which is a little bit strange because their so called company values are listed as integrity, transparency and

accountability. but on that note , it is also unclear how the group are funded, just group are funded, possibly just through . now it's just through donations. now it's just a really bonkers situation really, because this is the point. it isn't really clear what's happened to spark all of this. i mean , here's a video of this. i mean, here's a video of the incident, right? so the shopkeeper allegedly refused a black woman a refund , which black woman a refund, which let's be honest, he may not have been entitled to do. he then wrestled her after suspecting her of taking some items . he her of taking some items. he then appeared to put his hands around her throat at one point. so, again, the optics of that, of course, aren't great. but he says detaining and says he was detaining her. and then when police arrived, they did only arrest one did initially only arrest one person, which happened to be the woman for an alleged assault after apparently after she apparently hit him over the with a bag. she's over the head with a bag. she's now been bailed. so then what happens? a charity happens? sisterspace a charity which women of african which supports women of african and caribbean heritage, which became after ngozi fulani became famous after ngozi fulani real marlene hadley, real name marlene hadley, accused susan hussey of accused lady susan hussey of being a racist at the palace, criticised the police for

arresting the woman they have called for the shop to be shut down and this pseudo paramilitary organisation called forever family force turns up . forever family force turns up. they start chanting things like i think you touch one, you touch us all. the shopkeeper has shut his shop, quite possibly never to reopened. let's be honest to be reopened. let's be honest . got posters on the . he's got posters all on the outside of it accusing him outside of it now, accusing him of misogynistic of racial and misogynistic violence. mayor london violence. the mayor of london has in, saying it's has waded in, saying it's urgently seeking information from the police. i do not recall him about knife him being too vocal about knife crime in notting hill carnival recently, which is interesting. now, of that, the now, after all of that, the shopkeeper has actually been interviewed under caution . so interviewed under caution. so the protesters say that they want a boycott of shop. want a boycott of the shop. look, i'm sorry , but can we all look, i'm sorry, but can we all agree that is just agree that this is just absolutely right. this absolutely insane, right. this is a prime example, in is literally a prime example, in my of how britain has my view, of how britain has fallen. got asian fallen. we've got an asian shopkeeper who may may not shopkeeper who may or may not have been out of order, then a black female customer who may or may not have been trying to steal stuff. now we have what is essentially tinderbox essentially a tinderbox of a race brewing . i mean, do

race riot brewing. i mean, do these people honestly not have anything to do? i can see anything better to do? i can see how though, because how this ends, though, because ultimately will be ultimately the police will be blamed this we blamed for all of this and we will have another saga about institutional . and then institutional racism. and then there'll be some kind of inquiry . the whole thing . i just find the whole thing pathetic very pathetic and actually very worrying. so any time somebody from community is from the black community is involved in anything like this, do we now get some kind of force mopping up screaming mopping up outside, screaming blue murder? i don't know. do we? i'll just ask you, who is actually stoking racial tensions here? it necessary . to here? is it necessary. to gbviews@gbnewscom get in touch. i'm going to get stuck straight into this with a man who vehemently disagrees with me, as isindeed vehemently disagrees with me, as is indeed his right. okay. this is indeed his right. okay. this is the race row issue in peckham, south—east london that i was talking about. and it's ken hines, who's the chair of the haringey independent. stop and monitoring and and search monitoring group and campaigns right ken, where discrimination. right ken, where are you on this? because to me, it just seems massive . the whole

it just seems massive. the whole thing is ridiculous . thing is ridiculous. >> the first i'm here as as a black man, as an independent black man, as an independent black man, as an independent black man, talking about something that that i saw on that went viral on the social media that did stir me. now, when you talk about a paramilitary force in in forever , our family, they're not they're one of the gatekeepers for the black community. so when things happen, things of this nature happen. we are marginalised at the best of times . and i've got nothing but times. and i've got nothing but respect for people like beck, who who's one of the founders of this group here. and what they do, they might look a bit military or whatever or militant , but it's not they do look maybe to yourself, but when you get to talk to them, the people that i mean, they aren't they they dress up in military can't you that's personally as i said i know some of the members and they are people are highly intelligent members who knows what the law is and knows how to

go about conducting themselves . go about conducting themselves. and it's quite to me, it's quite refreshing that when these things happen that you've got people like them up appear to go down and make a stand. >> do you not think it's a bit ridiculous over an incident where somebody has supposedly gone into a shop, as far as we understand it, asked for a refund. the guy has apparently said no. okay. which again, and by the way, i'm not condoning. i mean, if that is the case, i would. and it was faulty goods or something. i would want a refund. so but then the refund. right. so but then the supposedly she's then gone to take stuff off shelves. allegedly. he's then had a pop in the middle of a shoplifting epidemic. is this really epidemic. i mean, is this really worth mobbing up and going outside and putting outside and then putting putting, by way, quite, putting, by the way, quite, quite racist stuff on his on his shutters, you know, asian men out of this community. >> i'm not advocating any sort of violence. i'm all in favour of violence. i'm all in favour of even supporting peaceful demonstration and highlighting certain situations. now, let me say this much to you. under the sales of goods act 1979, if you

buy 40 goods and you take it back to the shop, you you're not entitled to a credit note or anything. you're entitled to a refund. your money back and the shopkeeper,if refund. your money back and the shopkeeper , if he doesn't know shopkeeper, if he doesn't know that, what is he doing in business if he doesn't know what the law is around here? secondly, i do security. if i held any a customer up like the way he did with my hands around their around from what i saw around their throat, i would lose my badge. i would lose my livelihood. >> even if that customer is hitting you over the head with a shopping trolley. >> what happened was >> no, no. what happened was he had hand around the throat had his hand around the throat and out to save, to and she lashed out to save, to safeguard herself. see? see what's it's not like. look at the size of him compared to the size of the little young sister there. she could be my sister. she could be my aunt. she could be my niece. the simple fact is, is that it's unaccept label. now, that shot target black women because it's black women here product that they're selling. and if that's how they're going to treat their

their their customers, then you know what? we have to stop going into places like that and say it's unacceptable for you to take our money. and it's not only young people . the place only young people. the place thatis only young people. the place that is to treat that way. they also treat elderly black women in the same disgusting way. it has to stop, right? >> but i mean, as far as i'm aware, this is the first incident that's happened. incident that's ever happened. there to stress there i just want to stress again, this again, it's very important this that the shop owner as that neither the shop owner as yet or the lady has certainly been found guilty with anything or charged with anything, as far as you're aware, which adds to the that this is of the fact that this is among of you. and it's a ridiculous you. and it's still a ridiculous situation don't know you. and it's still a ridiculous si'in|tion don't know you. and it's still a ridiculous si'in the don't know you. and it's still a ridiculous si'in the eyes don't know you. and it's still a ridiculous si'in the eyes of don't know you. and it's still a ridiculous si'in the eyes of the don't know you. and it's still a ridiculous si'in the eyes of the law, 't know you. and it's still a ridiculous si'in the eyes of the law, if know if in the eyes of the law, if both or neither of them have actually officially done anything here, and yet we anything wrong here, and yet we do or had a group of people do have or had a group of people who were willing to then go outside for somebody to shut a shop, to put things like about the asian community on that shop front. i mean, that's

intimidation, isn't it? >> personally , as i said, i also >> personally, as i said, i also got concerned with the way the police handled this situation . police handled this situation. why is this let me let me say i'll tell you why i've got serious misgivings about the police, because they came in. an allegation was made. now they've got cctv footage in the shop. now, as a police officer, you should have gone back and reviewed the cctv footage before . before you decided on yourself to go and arrest that woman. the young girl. now, she was a victim . she's a victim. and victim. she's a victim. and you're taking her and you putting into custody . you're put putting into custody. you're put into custody. how long was she into custody. how long was she in custody? they can keep you up to 24 hours. hold on. but to 24 hours. but hold on. but but the shop owner was but yet the shop owner was ianed but yet the shop owner was invited to come and have a conversation at the police station that is wrong with absolute respect. >> right? with absolute respect . genuinely, you know . do you . genuinely, you know. do you not think that there is a chance at some point here that people saying what you're saying might end up looking a little bit silly if in a day or two's time you know, other details emerge

about this that appear to indicate something a little bit different went on. if people have gone in all guns blazing, of course. >> of course . but you know what? >> of course. but you know what? it doesn't make sense to me. and judge judy said it doesn't make sense. what? it's sense. you know what? it's nonsense it's lie. my nonsense. it's a lie. now, my thing simply this. why would thing is simply this. why would a woman of good character in a woman of good character go in and see someone and tell a person , you know, what do you person, you know, what do you know? i want i want i want my money, want back. and money, i want my money back. and if to give my if you're going to give me my money going money back, i'm going to take something of that. something to the value of that. you think what shoplifter tells you do and you what they're going to do and anyway, that mist now , you anyway, that red mist now, you can't shoplifting until can't commit shoplifting until you cross that threshold. you go out shop , then he can out of the shop, then he can detain while you're in that detain you while you're in that shop. yourself down shop. you can calm yourself down and return everything back to back to the shelf or wherever it is pre—empted whatever . is. so he pre—empted whatever. he brought his own emotions. do you think triggers right? >> do you right again. >> do you right again. >> allegedly. because we don't know if he's going to be charged with anything or neither. >> should. with anything or neither. >> he should. with anything or neither. >> he needs;hould. with anything or neither. >> he needs to uld. with anything or neither. >> he needs to be. with anything or neither. >> he needs to be he needs to

be. he doesn't he be. because if he doesn't if he doesn't. be. because if he doesn't if he donkay. problem. yeah. >> okay. it's a problem. yeah. okay. that. but okay. i understand that. but obviously, have to obviously, you know, we have to we do have a rule of law in this country. wait and country. we'll have to wait and see there. it see what happens there. so is it right, in your that right, in your view that he never shop because never opens his shop because this out of this won't be put out of business because of that? >> way conducts >> if that's the way he conducts business, he shouldn't be in business. and he's doing that business, he shouldn't be in buaness. and he's doing that business, he shouldn't be in bua predominantly's doing that business, he shouldn't be in bua predominantly's doinarea,t in a predominantly black area, he somewhere else he needs to go somewhere else and but learn and do that. but but learn the lessons what the lessons from what this what the what him. what this has taught him. because he was in business for what this has taught him. becalthere was in business for what this has taught him. becalthere and in business for what this has taught him. becalthere and he'susiness for what this has taught him. becalthere and he's doings for what this has taught him. becalthere and he's doing good years there and he's doing good business. he stayed open. >> and can i open. » and open. >> and can i just put this >> and then can i just put this to you? >> just put this you? >> can i just put this to you? if in for years if he's in business for years there, to doesn't there, right. that to me doesn't look like a man who's looking at the first time he ever thinks someone might be taking something from shop . now, something from that shop. now, if a problem with shop, if there's a problem with shop, we in the country there's a we know in the country there's a problem shoplifting. problem with shoplifting. right? we am we know in the country and i am not saying this what this woman was doing, but i am was necessarily doing, but i am saying problem saying there's a problem with shoplifting in this country if that end because that blokes is wits end because he keeps having stuff nicked from steps in from his shop and he steps in and does that. could you understand that? >> no, couldn't because you

>> no, i couldn't because you know got like know why you've got people like me security, are me who are security, who are trained, to go trained, who are qualified to go and in that shop and to and stand in that shop and to deal with any sort of confrontation that might occur . confrontation that might occur. we could have i would have held her in the way that we've been trained to detain and hold people. and i would make sure that they don't leave. they don't leave the shop. >> should employ >> you think he should employ a full time security guard just in case a woman comes in and kicks off? >> well , if what's if off? >> well, if what's if you think that £24 is worth going and losing his livelihood as it stands to me , it would be much stands to me, it would be much cheaper for him to have a security in on that day because the whatever money they're paying the whatever money they're paying for that security would have safeguard not concerned. and he would have been in business today. >> concerning here >> is it not concerning here that as a result of that there has as a result of this, there has been an inflammation of tensions rapidly between an asian business owners and the local black community, the black community outnumbering

the black community outnumbering the asian community quite significantly peckham that significantly in peckham in that part and part of the world there, and also now subsequently the met police, which as far as i can tell, local superintendent tell, the local superintendent is way, but is not white, by the way, but the police is deemed to a the met police is deemed to be a white authoritarian institution. and i can see why historically that would be the case. but how quickly racial tensions just go as a result of what is , as it as a result of what is, as it currently stands, an incident that nobody has been charged for yet . yet. >> but my thing is simply this. if you saw the excessive force that was used , that it triggered that was used, that it triggered george floyd, all over again. right. so i'm just saying to you, we've got to be mindful that these things people are still carrying the hurt and the trauma they have seen . and trauma that they have seen. and when see these sorts of when you see these sorts of incidents these of incidents in these sort of situations in it, it's not surprising . it triggers the surprising. it triggers the people from the black community. but my thing is there was no one that got up there and there was a peaceful demonstration . there a peaceful demonstration. there was nothing there, even stuff written written walls. written on written on the walls. i don't know. i haven't seen

anything written on the wall. but what i'm to you , from but what i'm saying to you, from what i saw on the social media, people peaceful and people there were peaceful and they were cordially and i'm saying this is the way that we need to do things. so does need to do things. so it does appear a peaceful appear not to have a peaceful protest. nothing wrong appear not to have a peaceful protethat nothing wrong appear not to have a peaceful protethat . nothing wrong with that. >> can i have a chat with you a little bit about this forever family force? right. because i saw them first became saw them the first time i became aware of them was in the wake of george and then we george floyd. and then when we started some things spill started having some things spill over here, i then saw them pop up after an incident involving a black girl at school in surrey who was allegedly beaten up by some white kids who turned out, i think, to be travellers, etcetera. and then they turned up outside the house of the people who they believe were the parents of those kids and the school. and then i've seen them again now. do you again here now. i mean, do you think really to think it's all right really to kind of mob up whenever anything like that happens? what kind of what kind of message do you think that ordinary think that sends to ordinary people know, people out there, you know, who are all this? are involved in all this? >> advocating violence >> i'm not advocating violence in whatsoever, but i'm advocating that you exercise

your right to peacefully protest and demonstrate wherever it's appropriate. now, in that case that you mentioned there, it turned out that the mother of the travellers was egging on her, the youngsters to go and do something to this girl here. right. and that's disgusting . right. and that's disgusting. but, you know, response to that is the response to that. >> genuinely, though, to help create a situation that visibly highlights racial tensions. >> so if i was as bold as as respect and forever family . respect and forever family. >> he's one of the guys behind us. >> us. >> yeah i know i would have gone down there and supported that just like i would go down to peckham and peacefully demonstrate what demonstrate after what i've seen. what that action seen. because what that action is, unacceptable in this day is, is unacceptable in this day and time that we have shop keepers who think that they can act on their customers as, let's just say, let's just say this, this this hypothetical situation happens genuinely hypothetical situation happens where i a shopkeepen >> okay ? and someone who happens >> okay? and someone who happens to be black walks my shop to be black walks into my shop and just genuinely just nicks

stuff. right? and i then as a as a shopkeeper who doesn't feel like they get any support from the police at all and tries to grab that person and said, look, give stuff back . you know, give me my stuff back. you know, am at risk of people am i now at risk of people turning up and shutting my shop down and accusing me of racism ? down and accusing me of racism? >> all. not at all. if >> not at all. not at all. if you if she shopkeeper had you if she if the shopkeeper had grabbed her by her arms, held her arms down and restrain her, that would be the problem was when he put his hands around her neck, even he held around the waist. that wouldn't have been a problem . but it's it's what problem. but it's the it's what he did his size compared here to the customer's size. she was just lashing out in self—defence . she wasn't lashing out to say, i'm going to get away. she's saying, call the police. you can hear her quite saying, call the police. call the police because she was the one that's being assaulted. and when police assaulted. and when the police come, yet again come, lo and behold, yet again in that situation, it's always the black person seen black people who are arrested. it was always a black person got arrested . arrested. >> yeah, but it might not have

been white police officers who arrested is, it's arrested who it is, but it's still the black it's the still the black it's still the black person detained. black person who gets detained. >> detained, >> and when they get detained, things slows down in custody. and you can bail. yeah, but you can spend up to 24 hours in a police cell. that's very uncomfortable . and that's very uncomfortable. and that's very true. more emotionally traumatising for that victim . so traumatising for that victim. so she's going to need some counselling. she's going to need some help and i'm welcome to come give the come and give her all the support come and give her all the supcani come and give her all the supcan i do always enjoy our >> can i do always enjoy our rigorous forth. and rigorous back and forth. and i must i always am very must say i always am very disappointed when the end because talk to you because i could talk to you about this stuff right? about this stuff all day. right? i very much for i do. thank you very much for coming ken hines there. i coming on as ken hines there. i also given nature of also again, given the nature of what talking want what we're talking about, want to the moment the to stress that at the moment the police have decided not to charge far we're charge anybody as far as we're aware, and certainly nobody's admitting guilt admitting any kind of guilt about any of this whatsoever . so about any of this whatsoever. so that's are at the that's where we are at the current state of play at the moment. i want to make that crystal now right close crystal clear now right close more story our more on this story on our website goes to gbnews.com. it's the growing national website goes to gbnews.com. it's the website)wing national website goes to gbnews.com. it's the website>withe1ational website goes to gbnews.com. it's the website)withe country website goes to gbnews.com. it's the website )withe country . news website in the country. best analysis big opinion, all the breaking news when we the latest breaking news when we

we have too many human rights? all right. and does human rights legislation actually put us all at risk because it gives excessive protection to people who want to do us harm? former defence secretary ben wallace has criticised what he calls the lunacy of laws that prevent britain from carrying out raids abroad to capture terror suspects . a bit of context . if suspects. a bit of context. if we had have found a osama bin laden. okay apparently we would not have been able to conduct the kind of raid that the americans did . and he said that americans did. and he said that the uk is being forced to kill enemies of britain or leave them to continue plotting attacks, mainly , it appears down to the mainly, it appears down to the echr. i'm joined now by immigration lawyer ivan sampson and barrister and writer for the spectator , stephen barrett. both spectator, stephen barrett. both of you, thank you very, very much, chaps. great to have you on show. stephen i'll on the show. stephen look, i'll start do we have too start with you. do we have too many human rights laws ? many human rights laws? >> well, it's really interesting that you phrase the question that you phrase the question that way. >> it's because what happens is

there's absolute atrocity in central europe. >> we all know about the second world war. we come out of it, we say, well, everybody can have their own legal system and be implicated again. >> but here's a short list of bafic >> but here's a short list of basic stuff you must never do make. >> you know, this is the absolute fundamental . absolute fundamental. >> and since then i've just been worrying them. >> we've been pulling on the threads of we have a court which is declared that that list which should be a comprehensive list , should be a comprehensive list, is what they call a living document. >> now, patrick, that is not an act of law. >> that is an act of magic. >> that is an act of magic. >> and what it allows them to do is to completely rewrite the words that original document. words of that original document. >> so from having a document >> so far from having a document which records basis which actually records the basis of everything, have of everything, we have a ridiculous magic document and this is not the classic narrative of sort of right wingers versus left wingers and liberals and all the rest of it. >> what you are, what we have reached or what ben wallace has disclosed, is that because of

the european court of human rights , we are killing people in rights, we are killing people in circumstances where we wouldn't otherwise be killing them . and otherwise be killing them. and that that is quite shocking given the right to life. >> is one of those supposed human rights. what's quite shocking it is it is shocking . shocking it is it is shocking. >> look, i'll bring you back in now. immigration lawyer ivan sampson for an increasingly especially, he what's been going on in the channel. it does appear to me as a human rights laws and echr, etc, being laws and the echr, etc, is being abused in order to get laws and the echr, etc, is being abusethey in order to get laws and the echr, etc, is being abusethey want in order to get laws and the echr, etc, is being abusethey want andi order to get laws and the echr, etc, is being abusethey want and sometimeset what they want and sometimes what they want and sometimes what want is not good for what they want is not good for britain. mean, this is just britain. i mean, this is just the classic of the latest classic example of this. should judge this. why? why should a judge from san marino or luxembourg, maybe be able to dictate whether or not we can go and slaughter jihadi? >> well, look, the government can't be judge and jury of people they identify as terrorists. >> that's the first thing. quite often in the information government gets as flawed. >> we know that from the iraq war. so i think you need to have safety nets .

safety nets. >> everyone has a right to challenge a decision . challenge a decision. >> and if there's no right to challenge a decision, then we're living in a communist putinist type state and we can't have that. everyone has rights. >> so if somebody is identified as a terrorist and then where's the evidence the government is? well within their rights to put forward evidence to substantiate what they're saying and so and the laws are there to protect all of us. >> okay, look, stephen, i'll throw it back to you. i mean, there is this particularly bizarre situation , though, isn't bizarre situation, though, isn't it, where now we would be allowed to exterminate someone but not capture them? i mean, what would happen if we just did what would happen if we just did what wanted ? seriously, can't what we wanted? seriously, can't we do it and just go, well, we just do it and just go, well, no one's going disagree with no one's going to disagree with us? sod it. well it is a very bizarre position. us? sod it. well it is a very biz'you position. us? sod it. well it is a very biz'you know, n. us? sod it. well it is a very biz'you know, the that there >> you know, the idea that there is no there is no route to appeal if you've just been bombed by a drone. >> know , the idea that bombed by a drone. >> most know , the idea that bombed by a drone. >> most important he idea that bombed by a drone. >> most important thingea that bombed by a drone. >> most important thing isthat bombed by a drone. >> most important thing is some the most important thing is some sort of route appeal is sort of route to appeal is clearly not to up. clearly not going to stand up. >> problem that we

>> what the problem that we have with human rights is that with with human rights is that they're really doing law. they're not really doing law. >> so i find it very difficult to describe that building in strasbourg as a court in the way that i understand a court which is you take laws, they're known in advance what we call posited in advance what we call posited in advance. >> they're written down. so, you know what they are. >> and then, of course, in interprets them applies them interprets them and applies them interprets them and applies them in way. in a consistent way. >> actually what strasbourg >> and actually what strasbourg doesis >> and actually what strasbourg does is not that. >> because it's set free >> and because it's set free from law , the only, the only from law, the only, the only guide it's got is politics. >> it's been following for the last 25 years. >> they egli centre—left politics. >> that's absolutely fair. and it may well be almost charitable to strasbourg that this is happening because there is clearly a change in general politics which is exposing the fact that this is happening . fact that this is happening. >> whilst everybody believed it and liked centre—left politics, you sort of expose the you couldn't sort of expose the court as a as a politician. >> but it's now going to come out politician and it's out as a politician and it's probably out as probably going to come out as quite one the

quite a bad one as the mood changes want things changes and people want things like dealt with. like asylum dealt with. >> it fair to say >> okay. ivan is it fair to say that people , including jihadi that people, including jihadi terrorist and in some cases bogus asylum seekers , are now bogus asylum seekers, are now just looking at the current legal structure that we have? the current setup of human rights that we have, and they're just completely abused it? >> no, that's not fair. for example, refugee convention example, the refugee convention prohibits from prohibits terrorists from claiming asylum and article one. and so anyone who's a terrorist cannot claim asylum. >> so the laws are there to prevent them. >> and look, the european convention on human rights is implemented into domestic legislation the human legislation through the human rights act. that's an act of parliament. >> parliament has a right to amend that act. >> they could amend that act, something in line with article one f to stop terrorists from seeking protection of the human rights act. >> but there has to be decided by the courts and you can't have governments being judge and jury. >> you cannot that is not in a

democratic society. you cannot allow that happen. >> you must have the courts able to grant protection to those that have been unfairly treated and expose the abuse of power by governments . governments. >> okay. >> okay. >> look, both of you, unfortunately , i'm going to have unfortunately, i'm going to have to leave it there, because in an ironic human rights go ironic twist, my human rights go out the window. if i ever run a break, i just get taken outside and shot. but as ivan sampson, their lawyer their immigration lawyer and barrister the barrister and writer for the spectator, stephen barrett. so take easy. i'll see you live take it easy. i'll see you live to fight another day. now, as the nhs creaks under the strain of the obesity crisis , tony of the obesity crisis, tony blair has called for a junk food tax . is it blair has called for a junk food tax. is it just blair has called for a junk food tax . is it just totalitarian? tax. is it just totalitarian? he's got a brilliant new idea. this is how we stop poor people from getting fat. what we do is we incentivise them to not eat junk food by making it far too expensive for them. yeah. all right. how's mick jagger's yacht tone? patrick christys gb news births news
