7:05 pm
we're all nobody's free until we're all nobody's free until we're all nobody's free until we're all free, right? so they're banding together. trans ideology , which includes, i ideology, which includes, i guess, queer gay people and women as well . yes. and they're women as well. yes. and they're going and they're banning that with the palestinian cause . and with the palestinian cause. and the irony is, of course , that in the irony is, of course, that in a place like gaza with hamas, a terrorist organisation and islamic terrorist organisation, all of those things would be banned. all of those things would be banned . they would be murdered banned. they would be murdered for. so, i mean, it's ridiculous. and the other thing is when they say white supremacy or whatever, it's an american idea that they've tried to transpose across the world, israel, it doesn't apply to the majority of israeli jews are from middle east and they from the middle east and they look palestinians. so it's look like palestinians. so it's a idea. look like palestinians. so it's a yes. idea. look like palestinians. so it's a yes. so idea. look like palestinians. so it's a yes. so it'sea. look like palestinians. so it's a yes. so it's like you say , >> yes. so it's like you say, the americanism, i think is exactly this exactly right. but this is a group that gathered in group that have gathered in london lot to sort of london quite a lot to sort of put this together. but this group already got in group have already got in trouble they, trouble before, haven't they, kristen? have they? >> they're i mean, first >> they're very i mean, first of all, when the name all, when you hear the name

7:09 pm
>> a genius >> this week had a genius episode which just totally blew >> this week had a genius episoiideology just totally blew >> this week had a genius episoiideology out totally blew >> this week had a genius episoiideology out oftally blew >> this week had a genius episoiideology out oftallywater. woke ideology out of the water. yes, been on it. yes, they've always been on it. >> a good. yes. >> they had a good. yes. >> they had a good. yes. >> south park try to answer the questions. they say questions. do they always say that to hold that we're here to hold up a mirror? yeah tell you mirror? yeah not to tell you what do? yes exactly. we what to do? yes exactly. we won't you strangle won't tell you not to strangle your kids. >> but was anyone seriously thinking that was to thinking that that was risky to have his kid? have homer strangle his kid? >> they weren't. i don't >> i hope they weren't. i don't think marge's think anybody copied marge's hair although they hair either. no although they probably have. actually hair either. no although they probablsaid have. actually hair either. no although they probablsaid tblue actually hair either. no although they probablsaid tblue actu.isy having said that, blue hair is in good in now. it's a good look. >> good. but like >> it's a good. but like roderick the point that roderick makes the point that the early simpsons much the early simpsons are much better. true, you know, better. and it's true, you know, they've just lost. definitely. >> yeah. time to just >> yeah. maybe it's time to just retire show. quite retire the whole show. quite a violent to quite extreme. >> but yeah, you know, fair enough. we're going enough. okay. we're going to move a question alan. move on to a question from alan. where is alan? hi, alan. >> are we winning the >> hi there. are we winning the battle cancel culture in battle against cancel culture in the yeah, this a this >> yeah, this is a story this week, 100 academics british week, 100 academics at british universities. formed a universities. they formed a new council freedom. council for academic freedom. and here is they're and the idea here is they're going combat culture. going to combat cancel culture. now to greg now i was speaking to greg lukianoff recently, who's written good with written a really good book with ricky about the problems ricky schlott about the problems of particularly of cancel culture, particularly in he makes
7:10 pm
in universities. and he makes the they make the the point they both make the point book that you'd point in the book that you'd have to go back to mccarthyism to bad as the to have anything as bad as the number getting number of professors getting fired at the moment on university campuses us. university campuses in the us. and in their research has and in fact their research has shown more professors have shown that more professors have been within this era been fired within this woke era than during mccarthyism. people don't believe that, but it's true. so that's a right? true. so that's a worry, right? >> absolutely. mean, i look >> absolutely. i mean, i look fonnard reading book >> absolutely. i mean, i look fonnalit reading book >> absolutely. i mean, i look fonnalit comes ing book >> absolutely. i mean, i look fonnalit comes out book >> absolutely. i mean, i look fonnalit comes out in book >> absolutely. i mean, i look fonnalit comes out in like ok >> absolutely. i mean, i look fonnalit comes out in like comic when it comes out in like comic book yeah, exactly. book format. yeah, exactly. >> read my book >> we haven't read my book yet, so i'm for comic book. >> the comic book's out, but yes. and this is i actually think this ties into much larger picture of society where we picture of our society where we see people where we see these marches on. know marches going on. i know we're going about going to talk about that in a bit, but it's because the far left ideology , whatever you left woke ideology, whatever you want call identity want to call it, identity politics, hasn't been properly challenged as people challenged because as people have been afraid and the people who stood up have lost who have stood up have lost their they that's their jobs. they have. that's why been to rise to why they've been able to rise to such prominence and go unchecked . what i believe the . yes. and what i believe the next now to just for next step now to just for getting out this getting ourselves out of this quagmire we find ourselves quagmire that we find ourselves in having this in the west is having this robust ability to challenge
7:11 pm
those ideologies and to show them to be incredibly stupid. >> well, this is the point. i mean, i hear really offensive opinions all the time, sometimes directed at me. i never think to myself, person fired myself, i want that person fired and want person to shut and i want that person to shut up. rather expose that up. i'd rather expose that person's arguments person's stupid arguments for what rather what they are. i mean, rather than kind of than give them a kind of dignity, know, silencing. absolutely. >> mean, weird, isn't it? >> i mean, it's weird, isn't it? oh take the floor more, please. carry completely. completely. oh take the floor more, please. carry me completely. completely. oh take the floor more, please. carry me armpletely. completely. oh take the floor more, please. carry me a job.etely. completely. oh take the floor more, please. carry me a job having ompletely. oh take the floor more, please. carry me a job having t0|pletely. oh take the floor more, please. carry me a job having to explain save me a job having to explain why you frustrate me. carry why you frustrate me. just carry on.but why you frustrate me. just carry on. but how do we get to >> but i mean, how do we get to this point? because now in universities, case universities, it is this case all studies show this, all of the studies show this, that there's of that there's a kind of groupthink on that groupthink going on and that actually people more actually people who have more traditionally conservative views, to views, they tend to keep them to themselves views, they tend to keep them to themsgetes views, they tend to keep them to themsget promoted if they won't get promoted if they even i that's for i mean, that's a lot for university. what's going on? >> isn't it? >> it's terrible, isn't it? i mean, it's 20 years since i was at university and we just didn't i like i don't remember it being like that read philosophy. that at all. i read philosophy. i time. we used to i had a good time. we used to kick an idea around. we kick an idea around. no we panicked. went into a dark panicked. if it went into a dark corner that was you have to go into corners to find corner that was you have to go intowhere corners to find corner that was you have to go intowhere your)rners to find corner that was you have to go intowhere your limitsto find corner that was you have to go intowhere your limits are. 1d corner that was you have to go intowhere your limits are. don't out where your limits are. don't you? absolutely. if you don't

7:13 pm
you've seen what happened here where suella braverman not always a big fan of, but she has tried these tried to implement these policies and told like the police to stop , you know, police to stop, you know, following through on some the following through on some of the stuff been doing stuff that they've been doing and haven't done it. and then they haven't done it. and what it's the same thing in france couple years france like a couple of years ago. stop it. ago. they said, stop doing it. yes. didn't so now yes. and it didn't stop. so now they've had to make it they've literally had to make it law. seems that's law. and it seems like that's the to really fight the only way to really fight this is to take it to that level. >> i mean, what do you think about this? because i mean, this idea of activists trying to change language that change the language that we use and all the time. and and they do it all the time. and the trouble the media in the trouble is that the media in this takes on board. the trouble is that the media in this you takes on board. the trouble is that the media in this you everkes on board. the trouble is that the media in this you ever haven board. the trouble is that the media in this you ever have you ard. the trouble is that the media in this you ever have you tried have you ever have you tried recently an article recently reading an article about the singer smith about the singer sam smith because most articles, most articles they articles will use they them pronouns. time you pronouns. and by the time you get second paragraph, it get to the second paragraph, it doesn't anymore. doesn't make any sense anymore. i'm like, what are they talking about? now do i'm like, what are they talking abouthey're now do i'm like, what are they talking abouthey're talking now do i'm like, what are they talking abouthey're talking about do i'm like, what are they talking abouthey're talking about who do i'm like, what are they talking abothey y're talking about who do i'm like, what are they talking abothey talkingiing about who do i'm like, what are they talking abothey talkingiing atnow? ho do are they talking about now? and everyone everyone everyone knows this. everyone knows no one knows it's incoherent and no one speaks that. it just hasn't speaks like that. it just hasn't caught on. >> know? i was >> who doesn't know? i was absolutely week. absolutely crushed this week. i saw miriam margolyes. saw a clip of miriam margolyes. yes graham yes saying this on graham norton. know how old the
7:14 pm
norton. i don't know how old the clip but she was saying, clip was, but she was saying, now harm does it do? and now what harm does it do? and i was we know it was thinking, oh, no, we know it does it just doesn't does harm. it just doesn't make sense. doesn't sense. sense. it doesn't make sense. it's verging on compelled speech. >> but this is the problem, you see, language see, because if the language naturally the naturally evolves so that the word a singular word they becomes a singular pronoun, whatever. i will pronoun, then whatever. i will accept it really accept that. but it really hasn't. the vast majority hasn't. and the vast majority of people on board people just can't get on board with they're still with it, but they're still trying they're trying to impose it. they're trying to impose it. they're trying it. trying to impose it. they're tryi and it. trying to impose it. they're tryi and it it. trying to impose it. they're tryi and it doesn'tt. trying to impose it. they're tryi and it doesn't make logical >> and it doesn't make logical sense. it's actually sense. no. so it's actually making extra sets, sense. no. so it's actually making it extra sets, sense. no. so it's actually making it harder. extra sets, sense. no. so it's actually making it harder. and sets, sense. no. so it's actually making it harder. and lets, sense. no. so it's actually making it harder. and i think that macron, thinking of that macron, he's thinking of all those poor students all those poor gcse students out there he's he's implementing. >> what about people learning the language abroad? the language from abroad? i mean, it must be it's a nightmare enough it is. nightmare enough as it is. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> good luck. it's un problem. may we be, sir? and we can all do that. all right. we're going to on now to a question to move on now to a question from armin to move on now to a question frorgood armin to move on now to a question frorgood eveningn to move on now to a question frorgood evening . do you think we >> good evening. do you think we should be able to trust keir starmer his flip flop starmer with his flip flop backwards and fonnards and he can't even wear his poppy all the time? well, yes. >> i mean, he is known as a bit of a flip flopper, but this poppy of a flip flopper, but this poppy issue. so i saw this
7:15 pm

7:20 pm
7:21 pm
7:22 pm
radio. welcome back to free speech nation. >> with me, andrew doyle, vaishnavi sundar is a feminist writer, activist and acclaimed filmmaker. her upcoming project is a documentary called behind the looking glass , which is the looking glass, which is about the lives of women whose
7:23 pm
partners have or want to transition . it's the first film transition. it's the first film ever made about this topic. let's take a look . let's take a look. >> get out . get yourself out of >> get out. get yourself out of this . this. >> do not allow yourself to be persuaded or influenced by blandish agents and manipulative arguments. >> try to extricate yourself. figure out the finances. >> there is nothing you can be or do that will make you the object of his affection. >> he is the object of his affection. >> it's like my dad died when i was 11, but i didn't realise . was 11, but i didn't realise. and i've been mourning him . for and i've been mourning him. for 40 years . 40 years. >> and vaishnavi sundar joins me now . thank >> and vaishnavi sundar joins me now. thank you forjoining me. a lot of people will see that and not understand the idea of trans widows. what does that mean ?
7:24 pm
widows. what does that mean? >> well, thank you so much for having me. trans widows basically is a term that was coined after a group of women decided that it was suitable to call themselves that because their husbands or their partners have decided to leave them to become a woman. yes, i understand. evidently left their family behind, their children behind . and these women feel behind. and these women feel widowed by their husbands. >> and you've been speaking to a lot of these women for the for the new documentary , but not in the new documentary, but not in india, elsewhere here. yeah. >> i mean, i've been speaking to women , to anybody who would women, to anybody who would speak to me, to be honest. yes. and the challenge about speaking on this subject in india is the language, because we speak hundreds of languages and it is very difficult to unite women together for them to understand what trans widow means in the first place. yes. and there are so many different socio cultural communities that these women might coming to might not be coming fonnard to speak they speak about this. and they probably don't think that they can speak about this divorce . can speak about this divorce. these are being granted on the
7:25 pm
grounds of the husbands getting cross sex surgeries. yes, but that's not because they care for the women . but that's just the women. but that's just because the court believes that he is no longer a man. therefore, the marriage is not valid. >> so that's very interesting because i think a lot of people make the assumption that gender identity ideology has only make the assumption that gender identiispreadogy has only make the assumption that gender identiispread iny has only make the assumption that gender identiispread in thes only make the assumption that gender identiispread in the anglo really spread in the anglo sphere and that it's really sphere and that it's not really happening in many other countries. from countries. but you say from india, from an indian perspective , actually it really perspective, actually it really has taken hold there . has taken hold there. >> things have taken hold and things very fast things are moving in a very fast direction for the worse because now trans identified males are directed towards female prisons, female only prison estate men with their preferred gender identity are allowed to participate in any sports of their choice and there are puberty blockers and cross—sex hormones as part of training manuals for teachers who teach primary school children in school. >> and this is happening in india because all of those things you've described are happening here, and we've discussed a lot on discussed them a lot on the program. me program. it's a surprise to me to hear it's so it's so
7:26 pm
to hear that it's so it's so widespread india. widespread in india. >> is surprise lot of >> it is a surprise to a lot of people well. consider us people as well. consider us being about five years behind you and more people you right. and with more people going through this process , going through this process, maybe resisting it at some point would probably create some awareness amongst people. yes but within this demography . but within this demography. right. you can imagine that these men, when they trans, identify the wives and the children that these men leave behind have absolutely no voice. they no voice here. they they have no voice here. they definitely don't have voice back they have no voice here. they definitandion't have voice back they have no voice here. they definitandion't difficultce back they have no voice here. they definitandion't difficult forjack home. and it is difficult for people to take this into consideration because you wouldn't about it. you wouldn't hear about it. you wouldn't hear about it. you wouldn't hear about general domestic violence cases in the first place. nobody cares about what happens to the wife, even in the generic domestic violence, not the neo domestic violence, not the neo domestic violence . we have about 470,000 violence. we have about 470,000 pending cases in the supreme court. we heard that is under domestic violence act 2005. but now trans identified males can claim recourse under this act, which is meant exclusively for females. and the chief justice
7:27 pm
of india considers male and female not to be absolute concepts . concepts. >> absolutely fascinating. so you've made this film or are making this film. you're in the process of raising money to complete the film, but you yourself , complete the film, but you yourself, an acclaimed film maker in india , you've done all maker in india, you've done all this work, but you yourself have sort of been cancelled, haven't you, for taking interest in you, for taking an interest in this topic ? this topic? >> yeah, it happened because i apparently she wrote some tweets on twitter back when on my personal twitter back when nobody even aware that i nobody was even aware that i exist in the internet web sphere . but i exist in the internet web sphere . buti basically exist in the internet web sphere . but i basically made tweets about not wanting safe, safe spaces for women and how men shouldn't participate in women's sports . absolutely basic stuff. sports. absolutely basic stuff. boilerplate fairly standard views, just yeah, just, you know, standing up for women. you know, standing up for women. you know, classic feminism . but that know, classic feminism. but that was apparently absolutely horrible of me to say that. so there was a screening that was supposed to happen in new york by this organisation called polis project , by this organisation called polis project, and they
7:28 pm
cancelled it, i think or cancelled it, i think 2 or 3 days before it because of my transphobic views. and they did not allow opportunity to not allow me an opportunity to speak it. they did not get speak about it. they did not get back persons who asked back to media persons who asked for comments. they just shut me out completely and that drove me to finding out about how deep it is in india, actually. and i doubled down on my activism to be honest. since then it was as if they shut me down and i just came out screaming out of it. >> well, i mean, i hear a lot of stories from from women who've beenin stories from from women who've been in that position where they've of they've been accused of transphobia bigotry transphobia or hatred or bigotry or even fascism even or even fascism for even expressing a view, a view or an interest in this area. but their response isn't to shut up. and i suppose that's the intended outcome people outcome, that it shuts people up, intimidates them. right. but not the in your case. well. not the case in your case. well. >> well, they tried, but because . because i. i'm by i don't know , by principle. i don't like bullies and misogyny is i just don't like listening to them . don't like listening to them. and if they try to shut me down, i will only scream further. yes.
7:29 pm
and i used to write for a lot of indian media companies, but they've just stopped commissioning gigs to me they've just stopped comnnowyning gigs to me they've just stopped comnnow .|ing gigs to me they've just stopped comnnow . my gigs to me they've just stopped comn now . my filmsjigs to me they've just stopped comnnow . my films used) me they've just stopped comn now . my films used t0|e they've just stopped comnnow . my films used to be right now. my films used to be platformed in so many different places, but they don't even respond to my emails anymore. well, that not hinder my well, that does not hinder my you know, promotion of the films and everything . what i have and everything. what i have gained by losing these erstwhile friends is that i've gained a global sisterhood from around the world who have helped me to promote all my work. they champion all my work, and i'm truly grateful for that. it's as if was the if this cancellation was the best thing that happened to me. >> really? >> really? >> yes. >> yes. >> that's very interesting. so do you think that the way through and a lot of through all of this and a lot of people in your position and people are in your position and are but are worried about speaking is it going be speaking out, is it going to be global? going to be sort global? is it going to be a sort of network people resisting ? of network of people resisting? >> me, people are >> oh, trust me, people are afraid about this. afraid to speak out about this. even that's why there even in india. that's why there are very people challenging are very few people challenging this ideology. they are against it in principle , but they can't it in principle, but they can't put their name and their face out saying that they are
7:30 pm
standing against it. and these people could be, you know, working organisations that working in organisations that promote in way promote gender ideology in a way that insurance companies provide full coverage for all sorts of gender ideology , surgeries like gender ideology, surgeries like double mastectomy , hysterectomy double mastectomy, hysterectomy and everything, and they provide you paid holidays to recuperate from these surgeries and things like that in american and british companies who have offices back home. also have this culture of having gender neutral toilets and things like that. so you have the forstater case here. you can say you are being discriminated for having jk views. we don't have that back there, so i can't oppose to wanting to use not wanting to use a mixed sex toilet because is because here we've got the legislation behind it. >> but, but it's not there in india. not yet. so what next for the film? you know, you want to complete film. what else do complete the film. what else do you have do? oh i want to you have to do? oh i want to finish this and i want to finish this film and i want to screen everywhere and want screen it everywhere and i want to scream at of my voice to scream at the top of my voice because have to take into because they have to take into account children account the wives and children of you hear of these men, because you hear the brave stories
7:31 pm
the stunning and brave stories of men non—stop every day, of these men non—stop every day, all every channel all day in every channel in india, well. india, as well. >> the media has been , the >> the media has been, the academia has been. law and police have been. so if you want the voices of the wives and children to be taken seriously , children to be taken seriously, ihope children to be taken seriously, i hope that this film would come in handy. and you can say that there was a film that was made on this subject. well, if people wanted donate your film, wanted to donate to your film, the on the screen the website is on the screen right vaishnavi . right now, vaishnavi. >> very much for joining right now, vaishnavi. >> thank very much for joining right now, vaishnavi. >> thank you�* much for joining right now, vaishnavi. >> thank you so uch for joining right now, vaishnavi. >> thank you so muchrjoining right now, vaishnavi. >> thank you so much .joining right now, vaishnavi. >> thank you so much . and ng right now, vaishnavi. >> thank you so much . and next me. thank you so much. and next on free speech nation, we'll be discussing a worrying case in which a trans police officer hounded a free speech campaigner with abusive messages before eventually being dismissed. don't go away .
7:32 pm
7:33 pm
7:34 pm
gb news radio. >> welcome back to free speech nation. later in the show, i'll be turning agony uncle with the
7:35 pm
help of my panel, cressida wetton and josh howie to help you deal with your unfiltered dilemmas. you've got any dilemmas. so if you've got any problems, email us at problems, do email us at gbviews@gbnews.uk .com and we will do our best to answer your problems. a trans police officer has been dismissed after calling free speech campaigner harry miller, a woman beater and a over a period of 18 months. lindsay watson sent miller, himself a former police officer, over 1200 messages, abusing both him and his campaign group, fair cop. police misconduct panel was told that miller was the victim of this campaign because his views on gender identity were in direct contradiction to those of watson . so here to discuss this watson. so here to discuss this case, i'm joined by barrister sarah phillimore ihra. now you've had a run in with this police officer yourself, right? this is it sounds incredible, the idea that a serving police officer would be sending abuse given amount of time given the amount of time that the spend tweeting, the police spend tweeting, saying anyone online saying don't abuse anyone online because offence i >> well, the whole story is incredible . about 18 months ago, incredible. about 18 months ago, harry to chief
7:36 pm
harry wrote to the chief constable of leicester police saying got problem. saying you've got a problem. a member your force is behaving member of your force is behaving in got the in this way. and he got the brush the chief brush off from the chief constable. problem. constable. not a problem. harry did in getting did actually succeed in getting lindsay watson arrested, but they then let the offence time out. it had a six month time limit, but so then came the misconduct hearing . and the misconduct hearing. and the really astonishing thing for me that was revealed the police that was revealed was the police admitted that they'd given watson the advice to tweet anonymously to carry on. >> so they'd said that specifically. i mean, that's incredible. yeah, that's i mean, fair cop. we should explain. fair cop is a is a group that stands up and says, no, the police should be impartial when it to ideological ideas. it comes to ideological ideas. and taken and they've clearly taken a side. what offended side. and that's what offended lindsay watson. side. and that's what offended linnright. atson. side. and that's what offended linn right. atson. correct side. and that's what offended linnright. atson. correct you, >> right. i need to correct you, andrew, obviously, andrew, because obviously, according andrew, because obviously, accorwe; andrew, because obviously, accorwe are is an anti—trans what we are is an anti—trans hate group who he's reported to the anti—terrorism unit. i think 60 times and with impeccable timing. the day i was reading about his misconduct hearing and his dismissed all the bar standards board sent me an email saying, do you like to know
7:37 pm
we've just dismissed this complaint about you. so oh, how exciting clicked on it. it was from watson referring to from lindsay watson referring to when i appeared your show on when i appeared on your show on the 11th of june. >> and sorry about that, but yeah, notably you got off scot free. >> but it we were talking about the ideology, freedom of speech . the ideology, freedom of speech. and i said something like, i have a right not merely to criticise but to mock and to be offensive about this ideology . offensive about this ideology. erg yes, because it's both mockable and offensive. now, lindsay wrote to my lindsay watson wrote to my regulator to say that watching that made him nauseous and he shook for hours watching my show i >> yes, well, at least it's a reaction, i suppose so. >> either andrew he was lying about that in an attempt to get me disbarred or that really was his reaction. and remember, in june when he did this, he was still a serving police officer. yes. now, imagine if you were a woman making a complaint that you harassed for your you were being harassed for your gender critical views. and that's sent to your that's who gets sent to your door investigate . door to investigate. >> that's what's so >> well, that's what's so worrying. i mean, i don't know what's worrying, what's more worrying, actually.
7:38 pm
the serving the idea that there's a serving police that police officer who has that reaction to just a tv show that they just off they could easily just turn off and watch or the and not watch or or the alternative, which is that they're cynically using alternative, which is that theyto cynically using alternative, which is that theyto and1ically using alternative, which is that theyto and get ly using this to try and get you disbarred. either way, disbarred. yeah, either way, it's situation. but it's a terrible situation. but lindsay watson has been dismissed has gone dismissed now and that has gone through. goodness for through. thank goodness for that. that abuse through. thank goodness for that stop. that abuse through. thank goodness for that stop. i that abuse through. thank goodness for that stop. i will that abuse through. thank goodness for that stop. i will assumeabuse through. thank goodness for that stop. i will assume so.se will stop. i will assume so. we'll hope so anyway. now i want to talk to you about another issue, sarah, because this week there a court case there was also a court case which seems to have kicked self—id out the back door. is that right? >> yes, it's confirming the earlier judgement from the scottish court about what was meant by sex in the equality act, saying that sex doesn't just mean biological sex, it means legal sex. >> so men with a grc come under the heading of sex in the equality act. and i think there's a real link between this and the lindsay watson case, because what that's done is okay, it's been quite clear and helpful that we know if you don't have a gender recognition certificate, you remain the sex that you were born. now that seems to have come to a shock to
7:39 pm
quite lot of people. there's quite a lot of people. there's been obfuscation around been a lot of obfuscation around that i think that's that law. so i think that's actually helpful. i actually really helpful. and i say let's the obstacle the say let's make the obstacle the way it very clear way let's make it very clear here that a grc matters . so here that a grc matters. so you're going to need to start carrying it and showing on carrying it and showing it on demand , because my understanding demand, because my understanding of is if you have a grc, of the law is if you have a grc, then prima facie you're allowed in two female spaces unless it can be shown, there's a reason to exclude you. if you don't have a grc prima facia, you are excluded. it's very tricky this because of course a grc effectively it indulges in a kind of legal fiction . kind of legal fiction. >> so for the purposes of the law, treated the law, you're treated as the opposite of it opposite sex. but of course it doesn't biological doesn't negate biological reality . reality. >> it can never do that. >> it can never do that. >> this is why i say it's >> and this is why i say it's unked >> and this is why i say it's linked to lindsay watson, because it's really interesting linked to lindsay watson, becau back; really interesting linked to lindsay watson, becau back; rethe interesting linked to lindsay watson, becau back; rethe home sting linked to lindsay watson, becau back; rethe home office going back to the home office report gra report before the gra was written the time, there was written at the time, there was i think, 4000 trans identifying men 400 men and about 400 trans identifying . and it was identifying women. and it was very much a recognition that these are poor, unfortunate people . we must do our best to people. we must do our best to allow them to live their best lives, to comfortable as
7:40 pm
lives, to feel comfortable as the want to be. now the people they want to be. now no consideration whatsoever of the impact that that might have on women. and that's very telling. so i think what has happened and is both the equality act and the gender recognition act have been built on that foundation is our primary goal is to help these poor people who are suffering, who wouldn't want that, who wouldn't want to do that, right. there's never any discussion impact discussion of the impact on women and what it's ended up doing the number of trans doing as the number of trans identifying increase , identifying men increase, increase, think is in increase, increase i think is in powered a group of men who by definition are mentally ill . and definition are mentally ill. and lindsey watson is a very good example of that. you've got example of that. if you've got somebody narcissistic who feels entire entitled to compel everybody else to do as they say , you're going to end up with a lindsey watson . and when that lindsey watson. and when that person is in uniform , when that person is in uniform, when that person is in uniform, when that person is in uniform, when that person is a police officer , person is a police officer, yeah, that's terrifying. >> but i have seen some gay and lesbian campaigners raise concerns judgement concerns about this judgement because they're saying that associations designed , associations that are designed, say, that say, a lesbian association, that they be forced by law to they will be forced by law to accept into association.
7:41 pm
accept men into the association. is or they got is that right, or are they got that wrong? >> i saying, i reread the >> as i was saying, i reread the judgement on the train and i was quite by least quite happily struck by at least we've clarity now. no grc, we've got clarity now. no grc, you're not coming in. >> does mean sex for the >> so sex does mean sex for the purposes the equality act? purposes of the equality act? yes. biological yes. sex means both biological and sex. and legal sex. >> if you've got a grc, you've got the sex of a woman , if got the legal sex of a woman, if you're claiming that as a man. but thing but the really horrifying thing about judgement, i think a about the judgement, i think a lot of people have up on about the judgement, i think a lot equality) have up on about the judgement, i think a lot equality commission up on about the judgement, i think a lot equality commission gavenn about the judgement, i think a lot equality commission gave an the equality commission gave an example of why this biological and legal sex was a mistake and they gave a specific example of lesbian associations because what the court has ruled is if you are a man with a grc, you claim to be a legal lesbian and you can come into this lesbian group fully intact. as we know 80 to 90% of trans identifying men are. and you are suddenly a lesbian and the courtjust lesbian and the court just didn't dismiss that argument. ant from the statutory body , ant from the statutory body, which is there to assist with understanding the equality act. it dismissed it in a really
7:42 pm
quite contemptuous way, saying it just couldn't understand the problem. >> can not understand the >> how can it not understand the problem that quite strai ghtfo nnard. >> straightfonnard. >> back the earlier >> we come back to the earlier point if all of this is point i made. if all of this is built foundation that built on the foundation that we're all of this for the we're doing all of this for the poon we're doing all of this for the poor, mostly men, the majority of men who feel so upset with the sex were born in. there the sex they were born in. there never been a culture of never has been a culture of thinking, well, hang on a minute. what the women? minute. what about the women? what who really, what about the women who really, really penises in really don't want penises in their spaces? >> the lesbians? exactly. >> the lesbians? well, exactly. >> the lesbians? well, exactly. >> i mean, i have sympathy >> i mean, i can have sympathy with who struggles with anyone who struggles in that feels can't that way and feels they can't live they live their life unless they present have present differently. i have total but the total sympathy for that. but the kind person who would kind of person who would say, well, going to remain an well, i'm going to remain an intact male go along to a intact male and go along to a lesbian, you know, speed dating event, which is what happened to jenny i have jenny watson recently. i have less sympathy that. less sympathy for that. >> sympathy and >> i've no sympathy at all. and it's frightening >> i've no sympathy at all. and it's if frightening >> i've no sympathy at all. and it's if that's frightening >> i've no sympathy at all. and it's if that's frighte like because if that's a man like lindsay watson , i mean, i'm told lindsay watson, i mean, i'm told that maybe reason the that maybe the reason that the police so police were backing off so quickly was that this person has caused a of trouble, caused a lot of trouble, particularly for female officers, had to work officers, that he had to work alongside and so that is the problem for us women . when
7:43 pm
problem for us women. when you're getting men who maintain their testicles, their penis, who've gone through male puberty , inevitably , they are almost inevitably bigger and stronger than we are and we don't want them in our spaces. and it's not just a matter of safety. it's a matter of dignity and for lesbians, well, it's matter their well, it's a matter of their entire it? yes. entire existence, isn't it? yes. how got this how have we got to this stage where the only people who've been deemed worthy of consideration are men with a serious mental illness and the impact of their desire to compel everyone else to go along with them is just not been thought about. >> yeah, very well put. sarah phillimore, thanks so much for joining me tonight. really appreciate it . joining me tonight. really appreciate it. and joining me tonight. really appreciate it . and next joining me tonight. really appreciate it. and next on joining me tonight. really appreciate it . and next on free appreciate it. and next on free speech nation dancer and choreographer rosie kay will be here to tell us about a new organisation. she has co—founded freedom in the arts. sounds great. see you in a moment

7:46 pm
7:47 pm
welcome back to free speech nation. we're now going to talk about freedom in the arts. it's an organisation which will tackle what it describes as the culture of fear and intimidation in the creative industries. the group will offer support to artists who find themselves or their work cancelled and they will also be directed towards legal advice if necessary. the organisation has been co—founded by dancer and choreographer rosie kay, who joins me now. welcome to the show . welcome to the show. >> well, say welcome >> well, i should say welcome back to the show, rosie. >> a lot of people who watch the show have seen you the show will have seen you on the show will have seen you on the show talking your show before, talking about your story this came about. story and how this came about. very us very briefly, just just tell us what happened you. very briefly, just just tell us whil happened you. very briefly, just just tell us whil hap defending ou. very briefly, just just tell us whil hap defending women's >> i was defending women's rights own home with rights in my own home with a cast of dancers from my production that was about to open and they took offence and complained. and that escalated. and in the end, i resigned my own dance company. so i've spent about the past 18 months working legally to make sure i own all my work and my name and i set up
7:48 pm
a new company and we've already been touring the uk. >> what's great that you've >> what's great is that you've actually done something. you've set up a new company, you're producing work again. you didn't allow to be cowed, but allow yourself to be cowed, but allow yourself to be cowed, but a people, they a lot of people, they just think, you know, if you if you have own company and you have your own company and you can cancelled from it, what can get cancelled from it, what what there for anyone else? >> well, that's and was >> well, that's it. and it was it just bizarre. and it was just so bizarre. and i sort fought my way through . sort of fought my way through. but one of but actually because i've one of the that spoken out the few people that spoken out in kind of stuck to in the arts and kind of stuck to like own beliefs and my own like my own beliefs and my own sort of saying that this is important needs be important and this needs to be talked became somewhat talked about. i became somewhat of, you know, a magnet for other people in the arts to come and talk to. and what i found out was horrific. and so i started to do like case studies and build sort of over like sort of 20, 30 people and just felt, i can't do this on my own anymore. ineed can't do this on my own anymore. i need some sort of umbrella organisation. so i'm not just organisation. so i'm notjust speaking on behalf of myself anymore. on behalf speaking on behalf of myself an other“. on behalf speaking on behalf of myself another artist. on behalf of other artist. >> really important because >> it's really important because it's not about gender it's not just about the gender issue. sorts of ways issue. there's all sorts of ways that you can you can tread on a landmine these days , which means
7:49 pm
landmine these days, which means that an artist, you're landmine these days, which means thelonger an artist, you're landmine these days, which means thelonger ito artist, you're landmine these days, which means thelonger ito artist, yowork, right? >> that's right. and right? >> that's right . and actually, >> that's right. and actually, that's really interesting that's a really interesting part about freedom the arts about this. freedom in the arts is any issue that people is about any issue that people have been told. they're not allowed to do this or their work's been cancelled or their shows have been cancelled. or we've this kind we've also found out this kind of secret rules you're we've also found out this kind of allowedt rules you're we've also found out this kind of allowed to jles you're we've also found out this kind of allowed to put you're we've also found out this kind of allowed to put thingsyu're we've also found out this kind of allowed to put things inside not allowed to put things inside your yes. so it can be your own work. yes. so it can be your own work. yes. so it can be your beliefs or it can be actually the work you make. so there's like there's an atmosphere of like extreme censorship going on on all levels . artists are doing all levels. artists are doing it, gatekeepers are doing it. producers are doing it. so the art is going to suffer. >> so, i mean, that's one of the other things about the artist is they should thinkers, they should be free thinkers, right? a healthy artistic right? and in a healthy artistic society, surely have lots right? and in a healthy artistic soldifferentely have lots right? and in a healthy artistic soldifferent types have lots right? and in a healthy artistic soldifferent types of have lots right? and in a healthy artistic soldifferent types of views lots of different types of views being represented and explored and interrogated. being represented and explored ancoh,5rrogated. being represented and explored ancoh, yes;ated. being represented and explored ancoh, yes .|ted. being represented and explored ancoh, yes. soi. being represented and explored ancoh, yes. so i wish i mean, >> oh, yes. so i wish i mean, i think the arts are also particularly vulnerable. yeah they have less security in terms of their contracts. there's also much less legislation. it's not like the universal, his free speech kind of act that's come in. we don't have that. and
7:50 pm
actually the even the legislation around freedom of expression is unclear. we are allowed to shock , disgust and allowed to shock, disgust and offend . yes. but even under offend. yes. but even under article ten of the european convention , there are convention, there are protections around national security or protections around morality . so it's really morality. so it's really difficult. and people in the arts, artists and arts organisations don't get any kind of legal training. well, it's so difficult. >> it's not like a regular job where you go in 9 to 5 and you know, if there's a dispute then there's tribunal, etcetera. there's a tribunal, etcetera. in there's a tribunal, etcetera. in the arts, if you have an opinion that considered unpopular or that is considered unpopular or unfashionable, that is considered unpopular or unfa well, able, that is considered unpopular or unfawell,able, won't put say, well, we just won't put them just won't cast them on or we just won't cast them on or we just won't cast them or we just won't commission them. and isn't really them. and so there isn't really sometimes can council sometimes you can be council without sometimes you can be council witiabsolutely. there's a lot of >> absolutely. there's a lot of ghosting on. and ghosting that goes on. and i think, let's be honest, artists just the just don't really have the sensitivity sensibilities to deal most deal with that. i think most artists concerned artists are very much concerned with what they're doing and they're heart and with what they're doing and they'ron heart and with what they're doing and they'ron stage heart and with what they're doing and they'ron stage to heart and with what they're doing and they'ron stage to be heart and with what they're doing and they'ron stage to be judged|d with what they're doing and they'ron stage to be judged by souls on stage to be judged by the that's not the public. but that's not they're even getting their they're not even getting their work out there anymore. that's not happening. work out there anymore. that's notand pening. work out there anymore. that's notand penin you work out there anymore. that's not and penin you get work out there anymore. that's notand penin you get idea >> and then you get to the idea of self—censorship, you know, >> and then you get to the idea of self—nansorship, you know, >> and then you get to the idea of self—nans0|ofip, you know,
7:51 pm
>> and then you get to the idea of self—nans0|of artists know, >> and then you get to the idea of self—nans0|of artists are ww, because a lot of artists are thinking, i produce because a lot of artists are tipiecej, i produce because a lot of artists are tipiece that i produce because a lot of artists are tipiece that explores produce because a lot of artists are tipiece that explores thisiuce because a lot of artists are tipiece that explores this sense a piece that explores this sense of issue, say, then it just won't get put on get a bad won't get put on i'll get a bad name. i won't be commissioned anymore. >> and you don't know what is >> and you don't know what it is that's going to explode that's actually going to explode and massive it and become this massive risk. it could actually anything. i could be actually anything. so i think what i've discovered could be actually anything. so i th that what i've discovered could be actually anything. so i th that the what i've discovered could be actually anything. so i th that the arts i've discovered could be actually anything. so i th that the arts are) discovered could be actually anything. so i th that the arts are just:overed could be actually anything. so i th that the arts are just avered is that the arts are just a place of absolute fear . fear and place of absolute fear. fear and loathing is how one senior leader described it . and so the leader described it. and so the that censoring on all aspects and all levels and it's very unpleasant. i mean, nobody's making lots of money doing this. no, they're doing it because they want to and that's being destroyed. they want to and that's being desthis�*d. they want to and that's being desthis all feels like it's >> this all feels like it's happened very quickly. >> insofar as i remember works of art. i'll an example. i of art. i'll give an example. i saw show by a company saw a show by a dance company called i'm sure you're called dv8, who i'm sure you're familiar years ago familiar with many years ago called. this, called. can we talk about this, which homophobe which was about a homophobe phobia muslim phobia within the muslim community? that's a very sensitive, hot topic , but it did sensitive, hot topic, but it did it really well. it was challenging. interesting. challenging. it was interesting. it a it was well researched. a brilliant performed. like brilliant performed. i feel like something that would something like that would struggle to on. struggle to get on. >> interesting . >> it's interesting. >> it's interesting. >> that's one of the case studies index on censorship
7:52 pm
studies that index on censorship looked and lloyd newson studies that index on censorship looked signed loyd newson studies that index on censorship looked signed ayd newson studies that index on censorship looked signed a letternson studies that index on censorship looked signed a letter tom actually signed a letter to support freedom in the arts. he's talked me lot about he's talked to me a lot about how that actually, i think, was a warning sign that was very difficult for him to put that work. >> oh, it? i didn't realise. >> oh, was it? i didn't realise. >> oh, was it? i didn't realise. >> i think that was sort >> and so i think that was sort of around time. it's been of around that time. it's been building ten years building up for about ten years and then i think with everything that's like we've that's happened, like we've talked you've talked talked about, you've talked about different about lots of different other organisations and industries have become captured. the arts actually have gone for it absolutely full hard. you know, there has been no dissent, very little anyway. >> but with freedom in the arts, you know, there's question you know, there's the question of self—censorship, then of self—censorship, but then there's of there's also the question of people explicitly people who are explicitly cancelled. spoke to cancelled. you know, i spoke to james who james dreyfuss on this show who had image removed had his name and image removed from project from a doctor who project because his opinions, which because of his opinions, which should happen . will be should never happen. will you be able people that? able to help people like that? >> we're to try . >> yeah, and we're going to try. we don't have our own like sort of legal department, but we do know people that can help advise and we know where to signpost people think the one side people to. i think the one side is looking artists is like looking after artists and helping them. the other is kind to arts

8:14 pm
see you shortly .
8:15 pm
8:16 pm
8:17 pm
radio show. >> welcome back to free speech nafion >> welcome back to free speech nation with me, andrew doyle, a pro—palestine rally has been organised for saturday, november the 11th in central london. >> estimates suggest that tens of thousands of people will assemble and the timing , of assemble and the timing, of course, is not accidental . course, is not accidental. november the 11th is armistice day. some have suggested the march has been scheduled to ensure maximum publicity . well, ensure maximum publicity. well, we're talking about it, we're already talking about it, so that's case, job done. so if that's the case, job done. but many have interpreted the choice of as a declaration but many have interpreted the ch contempt as a declaration but many have interpreted the ch contempt foris a declaration but many have interpreted the ch contempt for british :laration but many have interpreted the ch contempt for british valuest of contempt for british values and history. certainly the pro—palestine marches so far have been heavily populated by what we might call intersectional activists , those intersectional activists, those with pronouns in their bios , a with pronouns in their bios, a tendency to treat disagreement as a form of violence and a general disdain for western
8:18 pm
civilisation and all that. it has accomplished. these are has accomplished. but these are strange bedfellows in many ways. as one activist who attempted to raise the progress pride flag soon discovered in this footage, you can see that some other protesters took offence and tore the flag down. and why? well, because same sex activity is illegal in gaza and gay people there know better than to be out and proud . and indeed, we know and proud. and indeed, we know that there is a real problem with homophobia within the islamic community. even here in the uk. a poll for channel 4 in 2016 found that a little over half of british muslims believe that homosexuals ought to be against the law, not merely that they disapprove of it, but that they disapprove of it, but that they wanted it criminalised . and they wanted it criminalised. and activists at the time were quick to brush this off, claiming there was nothing to worry about, and they were thereby, of course, siding with the most reactionary ultra reactionary and ultra conservative elements of the islamic community at the expense of gay muslims . and this has of gay muslims. and this has always been the case. while unbelievably brave women in iran
8:19 pm
are risking their lives , are risking their lives, throwing off their veils and burning them in the street, some western commentator are claiming that the hijab is empowering and even a feminist symbol. these are what we call luxury beliefs. and this weekend , another left and this weekend, another left wing activist found himself colliding with the brick wall of reality as he tried to explain to his pro—palestine allies that kids could be trans. >> nobody is trying to propagate anti—lgbt anti—lgbtq propaganda. he's trying to tell children that they are not allowed to be trans at all, yet they're not. >> come on, bro. no, no, no , no. >> come on, bro. no, no, no, no. punish run as a man. >> stop talking religion. you can't do that. you have to respect that decision. but in legend. >> yes , an awkward situation . >> yes, an awkward situation. >> yes, an awkward situation. >> i'm sure you'll agree. but then this ideology that has infected so many on the left doesn't have for space nuance or complexities. these activists
8:20 pm
are reading from a script not thinking for themselves, and they are baffled when the minorities they support express prejudices of their own. and so we can expect to see many of these pro lgbtq+ identity obsessed britain bashing activists, turning up at the protest on november the 11th not because they have a secure understanding of the war in the middle east, but because it's what they're expected to do. they'll chanting the usual they'll be chanting the usual slogans like the in this slogans like the people in this video london tube just video on the london tube just yesterday go to the scene. >> homicide will be free. there is only one solution on the revolution . revolution. >> intifada . can it be the case >> intifada. can it be the case that they don't understand the implications of these phrases? the term intifada is most commonly associated with the suicide bombings and other terrorist attacks committed in israel in the 1990s and early 2000. and yet activists are now pretending these connotations don't exist just as they are pretending that from the to
8:21 pm
river the sea is a harmless phrase calling for equal rights . phrase calling for equal rights. well, here's a protester holding a banner with the phrase from the river to the sea accompanied by an image that celebrates the terrorist atrocities of hamas on october the 7th. so why does no one at that protest complain ? one at that protest complain? why does no one tell him to take it down? why is it tolerated? why or for that matter, aren't the protesters denouncing hamas publicly , given that this is the publicly, given that this is the terrorist group that boasts about using innocent palestinian as human shields ? one person as human shields? one person held up a placard pointing out that hamas, a terrorist and was attacked by protesters and was pulled away by police . pulled away by police. >> hamas terrorists . we . >> hamas terrorists. we. just so why did that happen? >> i mean, surely if the protesters are pro—palestine , protesters are pro—palestine, they would oppose hamas, given
8:22 pm
that the group represents such a major threat to the people of gaza, of course, any decent person will be horrified by the deaths of innocent civilians in gaza and calls for a ceasefire make complete sense. but why aren't these protesters therefore calling on hamas to release the hostages and thereby thereby make a ceasefire possible? which brings us on to the question of what we can do about the protest planned on november the 11th. many are calling for the protest to be banned. rishi sunak sunak has stopped short of a ban , but has stopped short of a ban, but has called on the met police to make robust use of its powers to prevent the remembrance events being disrupted. and yet a people polling survey for gb news has found that almost half of the population believe the march should not be allowed to go ahead. other jews have been calling for deportation , but calling for deportation, but this isn't the solution and liberal values are always hard to maintain in times of crisis. it's very easy to solve our problems through authoritarian means , to resort to censorship, means, to resort to censorship, to deport those citizens we
8:23 pm
disapprove of or yes, to ban protests. but by doing so, we effectively surrender our principles to the very people who do not value them at all. why give them that much power ? why give them that much power? some of the sentiments i've seen expressed by these protesters are genuinely disgusting and disturbing. and to see them declared on the streets of london on armistice day is going to upset a lot of people. but that's the price we pay for living in a free society. we shouldn't be banning any protests because we're better than criticism , ridicule, than that criticism, ridicule, counter—protest . these are the counter—protest. these are the tools for tackling intolerance in a free society . once we allow in a free society. once we allow our commitment to liberal values to fall away, we lay the groundwork for future tyranny . groundwork for future tyranny. and that's a mistake. we may very well live to regret . so i'm very well live to regret. so i'm going to talk to my panellists about this question because it is difficult, isn't it, josh? you know, we have this situation where, according to the poll, around half of the uk say we
8:24 pm
should ban the marches . you i should ban the marches. you i know have many objections to these marches. do you think they should be banned? it i feel very caughtin should be banned? it i feel very caught in the middle because you have have intellectual side have i have an intellectual side and i have actually read your free speech book and i, i get it. >> i can get it. i can i can take it in on an intellectual level. as someone who's jewish, who is on the you know, when you hear people chanting for intifada and you have seen the images of pizza places blown apart, when you hear from the river to the sea, which is based on an original arab arabic saying , which is basically saying, which is basically calling for genocide and the endless hypocrisy that's going on here. and when we talk about micro , um, what is it, micro micro, um, what is it, micro aggression and stuff like that, it's like, oh, don't use that word because field hand or is a or field is a microaggression because it has field. it's like the jewish population are telling you that this is a call
8:25 pm
for a genocide. and even if you don't though it don't believe it, even though it is , that's how it's perceived. is, that's how it's perceived. but that's okay. >> but this is why i wanted to play >> but this is why i wanted to play the clip, because i want people to understand, you know, if tube if they're on that tube carriage, jewish person carriage, if a jewish person was on carriage, how that on that tube carriage, how that would them feel, would that would make them feel, how would be. how intimidating that would be. and thing about it is, and the thing about it is, is you're absolutely right. lot you're absolutely right. a lot of activists say of these activists will say you've to ban you've got to ban micro—aggressions. to micro—aggressions. you've got to cancel people for saying offensive things. they're not like they're not like you say, they're not thinking about the offence caused like caused here. it's almost like that doesn't matter. no double standards, double standards. and them also >> and for them and also the victims 7th october victims of 7th of october don't matter. are dehumanised matter. the jews are dehumanised for them. they were not real victims as they don't want to address it. when the at these marches if they calling for marches if they were calling for genuine there was genuine peace if there was a call for the 8000 missiles that hamas have still sending over, if they were calling for the 230 hostages to be returned, including babies. and i mean, but they're not doing that. they're calling for genocide . they're calling for genocide. >> that's what i don't understand, why they won't, you know, because i believe that they hate jews.
8:26 pm
they they hate jews. >> just that's what they do. >> i'm just that's what they do. >> i'm just that's what they do. >> so even that so >> so even in that case. so let's that take let's take that let's take that point. even people who hate jews, even who have that jews, even people who have that sinister, deeply ingrained prejudice, should they have freedom this freedom of speech. you see, this is the question, isn't it? and you're right to raise the emotional because emotional aspect, because i think trouble with all think that the trouble with all of in times of of this is that in times of heightened we forget heightened emotion, we forget about the broader principle, which all eventually. >> there are broader principles for me to be able to live freely in the city that i was born in as a jew. yeah, to not have to put away my star of david and fear, of course, to be able to take my into town on a on take my family into town on a on a know, to go a saturday or, you know, to go to shops or whatever. to the shops or whatever. >> so it's difficult. and, you know, i mentioned know, the reason why i mentioned the the the idea of laying the groundwork is groundwork for future tyranny is to example during the to give an example is during the battle street, you battle of cable street, you know, left wing parties know, you had left wing parties saying order saying we need public order acts, we need to be able to prevent from prevent fascists from assembling. those assembling. all of those laws were against were eventually used against left people you left wing groups. people you know, always happens. i know, it always happens. i see this an this absolutely on an intellectual this absolutely on an inteandtual this absolutely on an inteand i'm not calling for these >> and i'm not calling for these marches to be banned as such, although i would say it's called
8:27 pm
remembrance day . it's the day of remembrance day. it's the day of remembrance . it's not the you remembrance. it's not the you know, they're saying, oh, we'll do hours after and down do it two hours after and down the no that's a day for the road. no that's a day for the road. no that's a day for the people who have fought and fallen so fallen for this country. so i think it should be think that it should be postponed following day. postponed to the following day. i harm of that. i don't see the harm of that. i'm not saying these marches shouldn't the thing shouldn't happen. the main thing i seen and there i think should be seen and there is of people exposing is a part of people exposing themselves, the thing themselves, but the main thing is these need to be properly policed they're just policed and they're just not being, have flags. being, you do have jihadi flags. you calls for you you do have calls for jihad. you do police making you do have calls for jihad. you do and police making you do have calls for jihad. you do and itylice making you do have calls for jihad. you do and it turns naking you do have calls for jihad. you do and it turns outng excuses and it turns out that the of advisory board the head of their advisory board is calling for the to river see themselves. yes. do your job. >> and again, there's all these language games going on, the people saying that the people saying that from the river doesn't mean river to sea doesn't mean genocide, people saying genocide, but also people saying when hizbut tahrir were calling for they just for jihad, they were just talking about an interior spiritual to say muslim spiritual struggle to say muslim armies behind muslim armies was the phrase that was used. so the problem with these activists is they word games and they play word games to try and gaslight you to sort of say, gaslight you and to sort of say, well, doesn't mean what you well, it doesn't mean what you think it means. do you think it means. what do you think, mean, the thing
8:28 pm

8:41 pm
fascist, your instinct is to pull your phone and film it. pull out your phone and film it. my is run a mile. my instinct is to run a mile. right. right here? right. who's right here? >> i'm not going judge >> well, i'm not going to judge you, it's important you, but i think it's important that these conversations that we have these conversations and there. obviously, and i'm not there. obviously, he's true he's not ready to receive true information. i just ask information. so i just ask questions to get them thinking , questions to get them thinking, you what is a transgender you know, what is a transgender child? can tell child? and they can never tell me. >> the point. you see, i >> that's the point. you see, i don't think when someone's screaming mind, screaming fascist in my mind, i'm someone i'm thinking that is not someone who's capable rational who's capable of rational thought. who's capable of rational thougian extremist. that's that's an extremist. that's someone who really needs to be de—radicalised than de—radicalised rather than persuaded. so but persuaded. right. right so but when i take a different approach. yeah >> capture these >> when i capture these conversations, helping conversations, it's helping to educate it's educate other people. it's helping watching. that's helping people watching. that's right. so there's two right. yeah so there's two facets to what i do. there's the conversation in the moment on the street, most of the time the street, and most of the time i'm having nice i'm just having nice conversations, helping to educate i record educate people. but i record them, them online. and them, i post them online. and those today are getting seen by 1 people. 1 million or 2 million people. so educate so it's helping to educate them how these how to deal with these conversations. it's helping to teach this because teach them about this because ultimately stop ultimately the only way we stop this through this child abuse is through educating the populace about what's and ultimately what's going on. and ultimately
8:42 pm
it's to be parents who put it's going to be parents who put a stop to this. we've had a stop to this. and we've had fantastic in fantastic success, especially in america. 12 months. 20 america. the last 12 months. 20 states have passed legislation america. the last 12 months. 20 stistopiave passed legislation america. the last 12 months. 20 stistop this passed legislation america. the last 12 months. 20 stistop this .iassed legislation to stop this. >> so that's a really interesting idea because i went on a show once. it's called on a tv show once. it's called the big questions, and i knew i was going person with was going to be the person with the view and the unfashionable view and i knew going shout knew everyone was going to shout at commentator called at me. and a commentator called melanie some melanie phillips gave me some advice said, don't even advice and she said, don't even think about what's in think about what's going on in the think about the room. think about all the thousands at thousands of people watching at home. really helped home. and that really helped because a sudden i because all of a sudden i realised the more they realised that the more they shout at me, the more my point will proved. that's will be proved. and that's really in really what you do in a nutshell, insofar you're nutshell, insofar as you're you're all this abuse you're taking all this abuse sometimes violence, but you're thinking people when thinking of all the people when these viral and how these clips go viral and how that appear. and be that will appear. and to be honest, those activists don't come well. right. come out well. that's right. >> i tell people come >> i always tell people who come out on the street with me, i want you imagine want you to imagine that a million people are watching us and and and behave accordingly. and because that's ends up because that's what ends up happening. because that's what ends up happeningi that video has moments, i mean, that video has been 20 million been seen probably 20 million times. my job times. wow so he's doing my job for and i want to thank him for me. and i want to thank him very much. >> but it is unbelievable. and
8:43 pm
|, >> but it is unbelievable. and i, i really do credit you with the courage of doing it because a lot of people wouldn't it. the courage of doing it because a lo you people wouldn't it. the courage of doing it because a loyou muste wouldn't it. the courage of doing it because a loyou must atvouldn't it. the courage of doing it because a loyou must at somei't it. the courage of doing it because a loyou must at some pointit. the courage of doing it because a lo you must at some point think but you must at some point think to do you know what? to yourself, do you know what? i shouldn't it's shouldn't keep doing this. it's too much. shouldn't keep doing this. it's too no, much. shouldn't keep doing this. it's too no, inuch. shouldn't keep doing this. it's too no, i never think that with, >> no, i never think that with, you know, these, i don't get worried people at all worried by these people at all anymore. beginning, anymore. at the beginning, it was bit different. yeah, but was a bit different. yeah, but honestly, in that moment, i think it's kind of funny. i'm not about what say not worried about what they say to me or them yelling at me or anything. it's interesting. to me or them yelling at me or awasing. it's interesting. to me or them yelling at me or awas talking it's interesting. to me or them yelling at me or awas talking with interesting. to me or them yelling at me or awas talking with jordanting. i was talking with jordan peterson's day. peterson's wife the other day. we i took his we did a podcast and i took his personality in personality test and i was in the second percentile for neuroticism, which basically means none of this stuff means that none of this stuff bothers me. so i guess i'm just kind this. kind of wired for this. >> what do you see happening >> and what do you see happening in the future? you're going to keep campaigning. keep on campaigning. i think things think things are changing. i think people aware. people are becoming more aware. so have that so do you have hope that eventually , at the very least, eventually, at the very least, our major institutions, nhs , our major institutions, our nhs, our major institutions, our nhs, our government will stop pushing this stuff and wake up to the problem ? problem? >> um, yes. i've never had any doubt my from day one doubt in my mind from day one that to put a stop that we're going to put a stop to simply a matter of to this. it's simply a matter of how many children are harmed
8:44 pm
before do. nhs conducted before we do. the nhs conducted a all the a systematic review of all the evidence that of evidence and found that none of this helping children this was helping these children psychologically. they've psychologically. so they've basically it. basically put a stop to it. sweden has sweden finland. same thing has happened. nonnay happened. denmark and nonnay are putting finally, putting a stop to it. finally, the american academy of paediatrics in is paediatrics in the us is conducting review conducting a systematic review and many parents and it's because so many parents have learned what's going and have learned what's going on and all other people all sorts of other people are starting to wear their we starting to wear their hats. we now firm in texas now have a law firm in texas solely dedicated to suing for these detransitioners men, these detransitioners for men, for between for dads with 17 kids between them their law firms them left their law firms because a calling to because they felt a calling to fight these kids. so they fight for these kids. so they have all sorts of lawsuits flying now. and that's one great way put stop to this. way to put a stop to this. >> chris elston, thank you so much me. thank you. much for joining me. thank you. thank you. >> thank you . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> and next on free speech nafion >> and next on free speech nation on a controversial christmas advert, a man drives around during a major storm and some guys drink beer from big glasses. it's almost time for social sensations . don't go social sensations. don't go anywhere .
