my point is this when it was black lives matter, when it was black lives matter, when it was black liveswas the riots in 2010, there was a police and a political engagement with the communities to try and understand why those riots happened. that's not happening with the yvette coopeh happening with the yvette cooper. she is simply saying that they're all far right thugs and we won't listen to them at all. that's what's happening. that's my point. now, i'm afraid we have to move on with. go on. >> i was i was just going to say, those people are all far right thugs who need to go to prison. that doesn't mean there's an issue. it doesn't mean there shouldn't be a sensible debate about immigration. but that's not the way to go about it. good, good. >> i think we've agreed on that. thank you for joining >> i think we've agreed on that. thank you forjoining us >> i think we've agreed on that. thank you for joining us there. former labour mp sean simon, always a pleasure to have you on the show. lots more still to come to you now. 4:00 anger erupts in a village in norfolk over proposals to fly

certainly not enough black lives matter was an american. s we've seen, that there just aren't enough police to respond to what's going on at the moment. so i don't think black lives matter were completely wrong when they said we need to restructure the police. >> they didn't say that they said defund you, but you can't turn defund into reform defund does not mean get rid of the police. >> you say that money away doesn't. it means restructure the police. >> so he was on the side of people who wanted to defund the police and now he's not on their side, but he also wants to give them public prosecutions are following the london riots. >> he dealt with the london riots completely efficiently and demonstrated just how good a job can be done to solve this. >> does he still think he's dpp because he seems to be trying to tell the police what to do, which constitutionally isn't correct. >> i think that he's he's he. no, he's not, he's not at all. he came out of that press conference. >> he just said this is what i've told the police. >> we do imagin

black lives matter didn't cause the same kind of mayhem that these people are.y're the ones we must focus on. hopefully things are dying down, but we won't know

crowd: black lives matter! so, we're in civic park.s extra illegal to have a firearm... ..and there's just guns everywhere. when one person fire a shot, i think all hell is going to break loose. i'm from wisconsin. 0pen carry is a thing that we have here. but this was an accident waiting to happen. anthony and i, we were acutely aware of all these militia _ people around us... ..but we got skateboards. like, we can dip out of there real quick if we need to. _ it was the last picture i ever took of him. i that night was going to be, like, i the largest gathering of protesters, and itjust felt like the right thing to d0~ _ protester: black lives matter! police: please continue to clear the area. - please do not destroy people's property. alarm/explosion. coughing. it got very chaotic very quickly. crowd: our streets! 0ur streets! if you're not 100% "i support the police", they don't - protect and serve you. there are literally hundreds of law enforcement officers pushing everybody back here. the plan was just to i stay put in civic park.

certainly not enough black lives matter was an american. been as we've seen, that there just aren't enough police to respond to what's going on at the moment. so i don't think black lives matter were completely wrong when they said we need to restructure the police. >> they didn't say that they said defund you, but you can't turn defund into reform defund does not mean get rid of the police. >> you say that money away doesn't. it means restructure the police. >> so he was on the side of people who wanted to defund the police and now he's not on their side, but he also wants to give them public prosecutions are following the london riots. >> he dealt with the london riots completely efficiently and demonstrated just how good a job can be done to solve this. >> does he still think he's dpp because he seems to be trying to tell the police what to do, which constitutionally isn't correct. >> i think that he's he's he. no, he's not, he's not at all. he came out of that press conference. >> he just said this is what i've told the police. >> we do

this two tiered double standard mentality goes right back to sir keir's response to the black lives matteress than 48 lives matter riots. less than 48 hours after a riot culminated in the pulling down of the statue of edward colston, which was then dumped into bristol harbour. the then leader of the opposition took the knee with angela rayner. this was an acceptance that rioting and violence can be justified and that weak, namby pamby policing is all right. it's also an endorsement of the extreme ideology of critical race theory that was the driving force behind the blm movement . the behind the blm movement. the prime minister needs to confess that he was wrong to take the knee and to endorse the blm riot, and that his majesty's government's position is that last night's activities by an armed mob in birmingham were wrong, and inexcusable. otherwise, he is calling his endorsing. he is the proponent of two tier policing and the only way to restore order in this country is to ensure that the law is applied equally to all. it's no excuse for rioting in a democratic country that has just had

whether that's leeds, in harehills or anywhere else, and any violence that took place in those black lives. mattersotests in 2020. i was on the radio covering them at the time, and another broadcaster. any violence that took place is completely unacceptable. so you talk about underlying issues. i think it was absolutely right that what the government did , and indeed the government did, and indeed what the courts have done, is crack down, first and foremost on the appalling racist violence that we saw in those far right riots of a couple of weeks ago. you say that we're not tackling or that the government is not tackling, that we're not having a conversation, we're not having a conversation, we're not having a conversation, we're not having a conversation about what you describe as underlying issues. no, no, let me finish. let me, let me, let me finish. >> who are these far right people? >> people, for example, who set to fire property around an asylum hotel? if that's not far right, tell me what is and let me finish my point. you talk about underlying issues. we've been talking about immigration a

we all thought it was for black lives matter so we asked them and they are like yeah, think what you black lives matter was on the upswing. so i checked my facts on this book and i called jpmorgan and said we're going to talk about this knee thing. he's like no, no, everybody thinks it's about black lives matter. no, that was jamie taking a knee to fit in the picture. he just wanted to fit in the picture, but it was a wide screen picture. i was like it took you four years and basically, black lives matter being uncovered as financially suspect, radical organization, to say that, and you know? it's budweiser, disney. stuart: but is woke definitely in retreat? charlie: okay the last chapter is woke is broken, so it is in retreat. now, how far in retreat? you literally got a presidential candidate who i want to thank because she said this. that said how great woke is. remember? stuart: she did. charlie: kamala harris. i'm going to sign a book for her, you know that? because she is putting the idiocy of wokeness on the map in the presidential campaign and she helps me sell books. stuart:

in the name of black lives matter. armer, taking the knee to black lives matter. we saw the metropolitan police and in the light, the social fabric of where we are at the moment with all these riots, and we're seeing people go to prison for facebook posts or for saying the wrong thing. mickey, you know football fans as well as i do some of them, we can like it or lump it, but some of them will probably boo when players take the knee. mickey, they could be recorded doing that. they could face bans, they could face worse. so i put it to you in this environment, is this the right time to be bringing back, taking the knee ? taking the knee? >> i don't think it should be every game of football. and basically you just said some, some fans are not comfortable with it. some fans think it's an american issue, which we know it's not. it's far deeper than that. it is about racism, but if the, you know, the premier league made a statement today, if they came out and said this is purely about racism and you know, the fight against r

given that keir starmer was an open advocate of the black lives matter movement, even as its supportersrioting and committing acts of violence on the streets of america. he tweeted out we kneel with all those opposing anti—black racism, and he was observing the activist decree there that the b of black must be capitalised. now while i have no doubt that starmer would have opposed the violence and the murders that took place under the auspices of blm, he was also aware that the riots were a symptom of a broader cultural malaise that required attention. so why should the same principles not apply to the recent unrest in the uk? now, there are certainly far right agitators exploiting the current situation , but there the current situation, but there were also violent far left agitators exploiting the blm movement . in both cases, it agitators exploiting the blm movement. in both cases, it is perfectly possible to address the concerns that have led to civil unrest. whilst simultaneously condemning illegal misconduct. now, inevitably, social media companies are now under pressure to censor p

and it was quite an extraordinary meeting, actually, because it was right after black lives matter, during had no idea how i was going to feel about it and no idea how i was going to, you know, what was going to happen. and it was an extraordinary meeting. and david is a really open, gentle man. and we actually had a really open chat. and i said to him, and his answer really impressed me. i said, "do you feel guilty? "you know, having inherited all this wealth and money from off the proceeds of slavery"? and he said, "well, i don't feel guilty because i'm not responsible, but i can be accountable". and that's exactly what he's made it his mission to be accountable for that history. and part of that accountability is to have much more literature in the house about where the money came from. and i think he's the first lord harewood who's genuinely been open about where the money came from, the history of the house, where the wealth, family wealth came from. and i recently went back there to unveil a portrait. so i am the first black harewood to have a portrait in harewood house. and some peo

i mean, sorry, he's not a policeman when he's coming out and he's saying that the black lives matterelates to grievances over police violence and racism in this country, whereas attacking and setting to fire a hotel, terrorising people, setting up roadblocks and asking people if they are white, pulling people out of cars in organised violence. this is not a protest against an injustice. this is a got up, racist political movement , got racist political movement, got up racist political movement, got ”p by racist political movement, got up by large sections of our media and our politics, who like to push the sorts of lines that you're pushing about how this is a natural reflection of the failures of multiculturalism or whatever it has, when actually whatever it has, when actually what we see in our society, for the vast majority of our society is communities coming together, people living where their neighbours, things like we're seeing in southport, what we are, what we see from that other side, from the racist end of politics, is turning tragedy into more tragedy. >> the blm injusti

a good question shown sounds like insurrection to me in the governor tim walz promoted the black lives matter rioters who set minneapolis on fire destroyed a lot of black businesses and wealth in these historically black neighbourhoods and it really caused poverty to skyrocket in minneapolis. the fact he was supporting rioters burning down minneapolis' harris but tried to bail them out of prison they are the wrong team for the country we don't want that nationwide. >> sean: senator we appreciate your time and know you have a busy day out travelling in a

i had slides for historical fiction, and there was a picture that happened to be of the black lives matterhe lesson spoke at a school board meeting. in the library, my kid and others were shown a picture of a black lives matter protest, and then a cover of the book. and i read the book, and it's full of cop bashing, critical race theory, justification for violence, political activism. the mom was upset 'cause her husband's a police officer, and so she was worried that i was teaching our students to be against police officers. i teach my children the truth, and this librarian does not get to use her power of influence to undermine my values to my children. then her husband stood up and spoke out against me as well. since when is it appropriate for a librarian to expose children and young adults to books promoting white hate? this city hasn't been hit by the antifa/blm chaos that others have, but they're here, and they are waiting for their numbers to grow before they make their move. don't be afraid to be called a racist in this fight. in my line of work, i've been called a racist nearly ev

there's a reason why black lives matter emerged in the obama years. remember, obama in some ways became the object of a lot of the grassroots organizing izing that happened before he became the president of the united states. there was organizing on the ground around police brutality in los angeles and new york and chicago. and there was also this mass of anti-iraq movement and obama emerged. and then people green screened it. they made him this progressive of candidate. and when he got into office, you know, he did what he had to do symbolically, we can never take away the significance of the first black presidency. you can never deny the importance of that. but in these moments, he became this kind of arc. how can one put it this kind of containing voice? right. you know what happens if obama doesn't tell the nba players to go back to the court, right. to play basketball? how how far do they push the matter? in so many ways. and so part of what i'm trying to suggest early on in the book, but again, it gets beyond it goes beyond obama. right. is that

but what they've not done is what we saw during black lives matter, which is what keir starmer did thenwhich is say, actually there are wider grievances and concerns here that we need to talk about. it's not just a law and order criminality issue . and order criminality issue. there are, you know, there is systemic racism and discrimination. there are issues within the black community that we need to talk about this time around. it seems labour are falling over themselves to, to, to not talk about those wider grievances. i mean, i've got flack all week on social media for saying this is clearly about the collapse of our borders, mass migration, broken model and multiculturalism because nobody, it seems, within the labour movement, except maybe bill wants to talk about the wider grievances that many people in this country feel. >> is that fair, bill? >> is that fair, bill? >> no it's not. we've been talking about this right the way throughout the general election campaign and we'll be talking about it beyond. but what we saw you've been talking about what about immigration, that it's too

one mike blamed america for the black lives matter riots and said they were exciting. >> a society that does not put equity and inclusion at the centre of it is certainly going to eventually come to the places where we are at. they are going to want fundamental change and that is what i think -- that's one of the exciting things in the midst of all this. you can feel a sense of optimism coming back. >> jesse: the minneapolis mayor was begging governor walz to deploy the national guard and he told the guard standdown. he told the police to surrender their precincts and once the city was a pile of ashes he defunded the police. what kind of midwestern dad with midwestern values let's a city burnt to a crisp? and then let's crooked donors swoop in and buy up the real estate on the cheap. when haters were ripping down statues of columbus, walz didn't stop them. >> it was an act of civil disobedience that we need to make sure people feel that there is a proper outlet to address the legitimate concerns around what they view as a genocidal monument that they have to walk to in their democracy.

you know black lives matter. of course we're against racism and discrimination.ally was a bit of a scam, didn't it? >> i just think the virtue signalling it's pointless and it has to stop. i think i want to keep politics out of sport and sport out of politics. i hate it when mp you know , when the prime when mp you know, when the prime minister pretends that he's a fan of whatever , whatever, a fan of whatever, whatever, a supporter of whatever. i think that, you know , absolutely. that, you know, absolutely. footballers can do meaningful things. look at marcus rashford, look at his 2020 parliamentary petition. look at his campaign. amazing campaigning on child, child food poverty and free school meals and all of that stuff. someone like marcus. marcus rashford has done amazing work and is really powerful. when you have this pointless taking the knee. apparently they've already planned, they've got six. they're going to take the knee on six occasions over the knee on six occasions over the next season. like just what doesit the next season. like just what does it

the black lives matter movement has centered the deaths of black youth and adults from martin and michael brown to tyree nichols and breonna taylor. to tell as many of the dominant narratives that circulate why these people were killed just as till mobley wanted us to see her son as a human being first not a victim, a martyr or a racial stereotype. we see similar acts from black mothers today seeking to protect their children's legacies via the complete and truthful stories that they share about them and the ways that they keep their children's memories alive via political, ethical, educational, and community activism and. for the remainder of my time today, i like to share with you snippets of tell mobley as an orchestrator, orator and educator. when we think of the details of the emmett till case, what perspectives our vantage points get amplified the most. in other words, what do we choose to circulate about this? public knowledge. the case usually unfolds in this way on august 28th, 1955, about a week into his summer of visit to the mississippi delta, emmett till, a 14 year old black

now, this is the most serious violence we've had since the black lives matter protests in the wake, ofck in 2020. funny must have, so keir starmer, our prime minister, at the time of the black lives matter if riots when police were being injured and historical monuments being torn down, he chose the take the knee in solidarity with the aims of those who were out doing the protesterring -- protesting and causing the violence. but now the boot's on the other foot. now it's seen to be white, working class british people that are protesting, and, by the way, i'm not defending violence in any way at all -- maria: of course. >> now he wants to take control of the narrative. now, look, nobody should use any social media platform to genuinely spread hate or incitement to violence. and that, that free speech rule i think all of us would support and agree with. what we are allowed to do on social media or should be allowed to do is to speculate, is to ask questions with -- maria: yes. >> is to try and put facts out, try and put facts out that wake up the rest of the community. and when you're en
