it's saturday night and you're with the saturday five. i'm darren grimes and i can promise that you're for in a very lively show. we'll crack on with tonight's first debate. who wants to kick us off in the colosseum? me. oh, well, we're all in trouble. makes sense. >> okay. what an orwellian world we live in. so this week, journalist alison pearson had the police knock at the door to accuse her of a non—crime hate crime. she wasn't actually allowed to know what the non—crime was or even who the accuser was. in fact, she was told in no uncertain terms that it wasn't an accuser. it was a victim . but surely the moment victim. but surely the moment that accusers instantly become victims , that must mean that the victims, that must mean that the perpetrators instantly become guilty. but not you. no, that's not what the police say. according to the police, it's easier for them to police our tweets than it is for them to police our increasingly dangerous streets. even more lunacy then appeared when we discovered that the police are intervening with nine year olds. so nine year olds in the

playground now are not allowed to call a fellow nine year old a word that means stupid and rhymes with leotard and they're not allowed to tell a friend that they smell like a fish. now, i know it's not nice, and i know it's not kind, but the playground is a theatre of gladiatorial survival. it's where children learn how to behave, how to deal with each other, how to be resilient, and what the real world is like. and you only need to look at young people today to see that they seem to have missed this teaching now. and we know why. because the police are actually policing them into submission submission of their minds. perhaps it's a it's a deliberate plan . the elites are trying to plan. the elites are trying to eradicate the thing that they despise the most free thinking people. let's face it, if they start with kids in the playground and they stop them arguing, teasing, debating, being unkind from time to time, eventually they will reach a point where they have adults like stepford wives and stepford wives are very easily pushed into the next level of social

credit systems. too far a plan? i don't think so . credit systems. too far a plan? i don't think so. i think it's where we're headed. essentially, police are compiling a database of people with dodgy thoughts, and from there, when you have lists of people with dodgy thoughts, you know what happens next. we've seen it in china, we've seen it in russia. you know, the pm this week thinks that these registers of non—crime hate crimes are a good thing, that they are a crime prevention tool. i wouldn't agree, i think crime is murder, rape, child abuse. so don't just sit back and accept this. we need to fight back. we need to speak up. we need to say no. i'm going to start right now. darren, has anyone ever told you you have a mouth like a dog's puckered up bottom? no they haven't. >> they've actually said far worse than that. i actually am the recipient, the owner of a non—crime hate incident. oh, yeah. non—crime hate incident. oh, yeah . yeah, yeah i am. yeah. yeah, yeah i am. i interviewed doctor david starkey on youtube, and i was they told me that they were going to arrest me and that for

broadcasting the interview, it was on the black lives matter moment and the madness that enveloped the country at that time. and so, yes, i enveloped the count
