. >> five years in prison for roger hallam and the just stop oil protesters, the right sentence are toohink it was the right sentence. >> interesting. the right sentence? absolutely correct. well, one thing i know for certain is our viewers think it was the right sentence because ordinary folk going about their lives, running their businesses, going to funerals, going to hospitals should not be disrupted in that way. we've seen, of course, some quite prominent public figures coming out in support of the hallam gang. but a little bit like a legal immigration. we need some disincentives. in a moment, we'll talk washington , d.c, we'll talk washington, dc, we'll talk washington, dc, we'll talk washington, dc, we'll talk the visit of the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, and the scale of protests that took place outside the capitol building. has israel pretty much run out well big, big disruption in washington, dc. yesterday and a big boycott. a lot of people did not a lot of elected members did not a lot of elected members did not turn up to hear benjamin netanyahu. he was very p

. >> and the judge did compare the campaigners to fanatics in particular roger hallam, who is the extinctionebellion rebellion founder, and did one infamously say that he would be more than happy to stop an ambulance with a dying person in it with one of his protests? >> i think dawn, because their tactics have become more and more extreme as time has gone on.then more extreme as time has gone on. then sooner or later, a judge somewhere was going to make an example of them and was going to hand down a really stiff sentence, which a lot of their supporters will say, well, this is absolutely outrageous, but is anyone seriously surprised by it? i mean, you know, they were going to they were going to close the m25 cause massive disruption, cause an enormous amount of human misery as well. and at some point, i think the law has got to intervene and say, do you know what slaps on the wrist are not working and we're going to have to do something harder. i guessin have to do something harder. i guess in their defence, the only thing i would say is when you compare it against other sentences for peop

oil members have been sent down for some serious time, including the co—founder of the group, roger hallamas sentenced to five years imprisonment, while the other four defendants were each handed four defendants were each handed four years. they were sentenced for their roles in the m25 protest, which saw traffic being blocked with an economic cost of at least £765,000, and a cost to the metropolitan police of more than £11 million. and to add inqu than £11 million. and to add insult to injury, the protesters were driven from the courtroom in a diesel van. they must have hated that. that was probably worse than getting getting all the time. now. do you think this will make the rest of just stop oil calm down a bit? >> well, i think it's a good idea because what i'm worried about, i was saying to andrew earlier, is they're releasing prisoners at the moment because. so it's like a conveyor belt. so they're going to go in and they're going to go in and they're like release some like really dodgy criminal out into society. >> these are really dodgy criminals. >> they are. but they're just anno

, questioning lightly, you know, questioning of the verdict, given the sentencing given to the roger hallamoil and extinction rebellion, all of it serves to sort of undermine good, solid law and order in this country. but on the riots, what's your analysis of what happened? >> well, it looks as if an issue relating to the taking of children into care , then gated children into care, then gated and exploited by people who want to create trouble in that community. that's what it looks like. >> people were making the point. nigel farage and lee anderson was saying, oh, it's got something to do with sort of racial divides. i don't think that's what it was. it was actually just pure thuggery. but it's a terrible it's a terrible thing that people can jump on the bandwagon of an issue that has involved the police and then basically run rings around them. i mean, the police went into retreat. suddenly a bus is set on fire. i mean, i don't want to be harsh to west yorkshire police because those officers are brave people doing a good job there inside a car that's being rocked by a mob or whatever. bu

just stop oils chief roger hallam now has five years in jail after brazenly trying to actually lectureid you not. and it's part of one of the longest sentences for non—violent protest. so credit to suella braverman for pushing through these anti—road blocking laws . a un rapporteur said it laws. a un rapporteur said it was a dark day and compared britain to north korea. you would think it was benjamin butterworth in the position. the same un globalists who don't want us to control our own borders. i'm with the judge . he borders. i'm with the judge. he scorned those causing hardship to push propaganda, thinking it's their way or the highway. and that was an intentional pun, a clear message was unleashed. just stop oil is not above the law . law. >> god, you wedged immigration and the globalist agenda into there. i don't think it was relevant to that point at all. >> oh, someone's upset. i'm not upset at all. >> it was just totally irrelevant. >> but, on the on the point about the sentences, look, i think they should be punished. >> i just think at a time where we are literally releasin

so here's the co—founder of extinction rebellion, roger hallam, who had this cheery warning about thef a sustained climate change back in 2021. >> good thing about social collapse is the complete loss of material security or law and order, as you might say, a gang of young men come into your house, they take your girlfriend, they take your mother, they put her onto the table and they gang rape you, her in front of you . and then her in front of you. and then after that, they take a hot stick and a poke out your eyes, and they blind you . and they blind you. >> right. and look at the danger that those comments pose. so here's young just stop oil activist eddie whittingham speaking to me last year. >> i've decided that i won't be having children because i can't guarantee that there will be a habitable planet for them to grow up into. >> okay. is that a difficult decision for you? i mean, that's that's quite a bold decision to make, isn't it? well, i think it's the moral choice given the circumstances that we're facing . circumstances that we're facing. i mean, that looks a little bit li
