Transcript

00:00:00.560 You're listening to a Rebel Media Podcast.
00:00:03.820 Tommy Robinson is released from prison.
00:00:06.440 But what does it say about the United Kingdom?
00:00:08.740 It's September 13th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:13.840 Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:17.620 There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:21.680 The only thing I have to say to the government of a wire publisher
00:00:25.060 is because it's my bloody right to do so.
00:00:30.000 I'm coming to you from outside the prison in London, England,
00:00:37.200 where Tommy Robinson has been incarcerated these past 66 days.
00:00:41.520 The prison is called HMP Belmarsh, but it's been nicknamed Britain's Guantanamo Bay.
00:00:47.960 This is where the unlawful enemy combatants, as terrorists are now called,
00:00:52.840 were housed in the wake of 9-11.
00:00:54.580 In fact, there are many terrorists in here to this day,
00:00:57.000 including one of the murderers of Lee Rigby, Michael Abelago.
00:01:03.400 Some of the most notorious mass murderers are in here,
00:01:07.480 and also a civil prisoner, our friend and former employee, Tommy Robinson.
00:01:13.720 Tommy was not convicted of a crime to put him in this place amongst the murderers and the terrorists.
00:01:18.860 He was found in civil contempt of court,
00:01:21.520 a much lower standard, and not a crime at all, actually.
00:01:25.400 I know you'll find this hard to believe,
00:01:27.280 but he was found in contempt for merely standing outside the courthouse
00:01:32.560 of a mass rape gang trial in Leeds a year and a half ago,
00:01:38.520 and simply asking the rape suspects as they walked into court on Judgment Day,
00:01:43.760 asking them, quote, how do you feel about your trial today?
00:01:47.480 How do you feel about your case today?
00:01:49.600 He asked them this about three or four different suspects as they came in.
00:01:54.020 There was 29 people on trial that day.
00:01:56.680 All of them were convicted.
00:01:58.540 The trial was over.
00:01:59.520 The jury was rendering his verdict.
00:02:01.460 Tommy didn't swear at them.
00:02:02.680 He didn't block them.
00:02:04.220 He didn't threaten them.
00:02:05.280 He simply asked them, how do you feel about your trial today?
00:02:08.140 And for that, I was there at the Old Bailey Prison.
00:02:12.200 Dame Vera Scott, the head of the Queen's Bench here in the UK,
00:02:19.440 shockingly, laughingly, absurdly declared that to be a contempt of court
00:02:24.020 because it impeded and prejudiced the trial.
00:02:26.400 I'm not sure how that's possible,
00:02:27.940 given that the trial was over and he did not impede anyone.
00:02:30.960 But unfortunately, that's the state of the UK these days.
00:02:33.580 So for that journalistic act, Tommy Robinson was put in this prison for 66 days.
00:02:39.600 Now, we here at The Rebel are interested in Tommy for several reasons.
00:02:42.760 First of all, he's a personal friend.
00:02:44.520 And this came about because he was a former journalist with us
00:02:47.880 who worked for us for about a year before he went out on his own.
00:02:51.000 But it's not just the personal ties.
00:02:52.840 It's the fact that Tommy stands for two things that we stand for.
00:02:56.220 Number one, he reports on the Islamification of the United Kingdom,
00:03:00.300 especially this terrible phenomenon of rape gangs
00:03:03.760 that Majid Nawaz, a progressive Muslim reformist
00:03:07.400 at the Quilliam Foundation himself, admits are overwhelmingly Muslim men.
00:03:13.380 Here's Majid Nawaz saying what is hard for a non-Muslim to say,
00:03:17.960 but I suppose it's hard for Muslims to say.
00:03:19.920 Here he is saying it.
00:03:21.320 Why are we still, despite the years of evidence mounting up on this issue,
00:03:26.200 why are we still so uncomfortable talking about this issue
00:03:30.980 and accepting the fact that there is a hugely disproportionate number
00:03:35.540 of British, South Asian Muslim men involved in what can only be described
00:03:40.600 as a despicable crime?
00:03:43.500 The fact is that since 2011,
00:03:46.180 these sorts of crimes have occurred in cities up and down the country.
00:03:50.300 They are spreading.
00:03:50.980 They have occurred in Rochdale, Rotherham, Oxford, Telford, Leeds, Birmingham,
00:03:56.700 Norwich, Burnley, High Wycombe, Leicester, Dewsbury, Middlesbrough,
00:04:01.360 Peterborough, Bristol, Halifax and Newcastle.
00:04:04.920 And in only two of those cases I've just listed from all of those cities
00:04:09.260 were the men not of British, South Asian, Muslim heritage.
00:04:14.120 All of the victims in all of those cities that I just listed,
00:04:17.740 the list was very long.
00:04:18.960 All of the victims, except three, were white teenage girls.
00:04:26.740 And so the fact that this pattern,
00:04:28.420 the fact that 84% of these cases involve British, South Asian, Muslim men
00:04:33.160 must beg the question, why?
00:04:36.600 Majid Nawaz is very interesting.
00:04:38.300 Besides talking about the fact that 80 plus percent of these rapists
00:04:42.920 are Pakistani Muslim men,
00:04:44.200 even though they make up a sliver of a fraction of the British population,
00:04:47.340 he also says that the reason Tommy Robinson has grown so large
00:04:52.440 and this perplexes the British establishment
00:04:54.380 is precisely because the British establishment itself is AWOL,
00:04:58.400 is absent when discussing this controversial matter.
00:05:02.380 Take a look at this.
00:05:03.080 For too long in this country,
00:05:06.660 we, media, the establishment, society,
00:05:11.000 the chattering classes, the liberal elite,
00:05:12.940 whatever term you want to use,
00:05:14.800 have ignored the issue of grooming gangs,
00:05:17.980 of young, vulnerable teenage girls who have been victimised,
00:05:21.860 drugged and raped and abused.
00:05:23.760 Whether it's the Rotherham case
00:05:26.160 or all the other cases that were replicated across the country,
00:05:29.360 it is both the conclusion of the prosecutor in the Rotherham case,
00:05:33.620 British, Pakistani, Muslim, Nazir, Afzal,
00:05:35.920 or indeed the official inquiry into why it took so long
00:05:39.760 for these young, vulnerable, underage girls to get justice.
00:05:43.580 Both of those concluded that fears of racism
00:05:47.320 prevented us from coming to the defence
00:05:49.780 of vulnerable, underage girls.
00:05:51.940 Fears of racism meaning that the state was scared
00:05:56.300 that it would be accused of being racist
00:05:58.700 if it rightly arrested and prosecuted
00:06:01.600 British, Pakistani largely,
00:06:03.860 British, Pakistani, Muslim men
00:06:06.020 in their abuse of underage white teenage girls.
00:06:12.380 And so, from fear of appearing racist,
00:06:15.820 there was a silence across the country
00:06:19.080 as multiple cases of grooming gangs emerged
00:06:22.260 up and down the country,
00:06:24.100 as evidenced now due to multiple prosecutions,
00:06:27.920 successful prosecutions,
00:06:29.520 but sadly and unfortunately too late.
00:06:31.820 If we hadn't all been silent,
00:06:33.980 if we had all addressed this issue head on
00:06:37.120 when it needed to be addressed,
00:06:39.080 when it was time to address it,
00:06:41.660 then the void would not have emerged
00:06:43.760 for the populist agitators to fill that gap
00:06:47.440 and become popular, actually,
00:06:50.240 as a result of addressing what is a legitimate issue.
00:06:53.460 They ended up hijacking
00:06:54.760 what should have been the concern
00:06:56.800 of every right-minded citizen in this country.
00:06:59.980 So Tommy speaks out against these things.
00:07:02.000 I encourage you to read his autobiography.
00:07:04.240 It's called Enemy of the State.
00:07:05.940 It's really quite amazing.
00:07:07.960 It was the KGB that said,
00:07:10.360 I think it was Laurenti Beria,
00:07:12.460 the predecessor of the KGB,
00:07:14.320 I think it was him who said,
00:07:16.100 show me the man, I'll find you the crime.
00:07:18.400 And that's how it's been
00:07:19.620 with regards to Tommy Robinson.
00:07:22.160 When you throw enough resources at any human being,
00:07:25.280 if you scrutinize every single aspect
00:07:27.740 of their public and private lives,
00:07:29.540 you'll probably find something to get them on.
00:07:32.700 And so it is with Tommy Robinson.
00:07:34.420 I note that next month,
00:07:36.160 Tommy is on trial again.
00:07:37.280 They're trying to ban him
00:07:38.280 from attending football games.
00:07:39.980 That's what they call soccer over here.
00:07:42.240 It's just an absurd, punitive, trivial lawsuit,
00:07:45.980 but that's the point.
00:07:47.740 Take up his time and money and stress
00:07:50.240 and just harass him.
00:07:51.360 If he's busy defending stupid lawsuits,
00:07:53.260 he's spending less time politicking.
00:07:55.780 The entire British establishment
00:07:57.120 is against Tommy Robinson.
00:07:58.340 And I'm sometimes asked,
00:07:59.340 what about politicians?
00:08:01.540 Well, just as I was getting revved up there,
00:08:03.540 Tommy Robinson came out of the prison.
00:08:05.520 So I rushed over to live stream
00:08:07.700 what that looked like.
00:08:09.140 Well, where were we going?
00:08:10.200 Very insistent that I not.
00:08:11.800 Hey, Tommy, how are you doing, mate?
00:08:14.240 I'm doing great.
00:08:15.240 Look at you.
00:08:16.000 I know, man.
00:08:16.520 First stop hairdressers, yeah?
00:08:17.720 I know.
00:08:18.480 Have your fun with your memes.
00:08:21.260 Tommy, it's great to see you.
00:08:22.700 Good to see you.
00:08:23.220 You're in better health
00:08:24.960 than you were last time.
00:08:26.780 We visited you a few times.
00:08:28.000 Say a few words
00:08:28.800 to your supporters
00:08:30.200 who have been rooting for you
00:08:31.500 these past 66 days.
00:08:33.380 Yep.
00:08:34.220 I'd say it's been...
00:08:35.800 I've enjoyed reading the support
00:08:38.860 and hearing the support.
00:08:40.100 For me, the main thing for this
00:08:41.540 would be an embarrassment
00:08:42.320 to the British government,
00:08:44.060 an embarrassment to the judiciary.
00:08:46.080 In the judge's words,
00:08:47.320 so let's pretend I did commit contempt to court,
00:08:48.960 which I did.
00:08:49.520 In her words, it was unintentional.
00:08:50.940 So something that was unintentional,
00:08:53.280 something that was unintentional
00:08:54.440 that had zero effect on a trial,
00:08:56.180 would result in a man,
00:08:57.440 a journalist,
00:08:58.120 being put in prison,
00:08:59.500 spending two and a half months
00:09:01.040 of soldier requirement in orderly.
00:09:02.760 And this is the crazy thing.
00:09:04.340 I walked into Belmarsh prison
00:09:05.720 and walked out
00:09:06.600 without seeing another prisoner.
00:09:09.240 What's your message to the media?
00:09:10.660 I have to say the mainstream media.
00:09:12.280 The Daily Mirror's here.
00:09:13.280 They were here early.
00:09:14.060 You read their lies.
00:09:14.740 Can I turn you around
00:09:15.220 to get you with a pack?
00:09:16.140 No, you can't.
00:09:16.680 I'm from the prison man.
00:09:17.520 That's true.
00:09:17.940 You read their lies.
00:09:20.320 You read their lies.
00:09:21.380 The Daily Mirror lied
00:09:22.420 saying I was attacked in this prison.
00:09:25.600 You lied.
00:09:26.080 You lied to the public.
00:09:27.000 You made up an entire story
00:09:28.020 or you were part of the propaganda
00:09:29.780 that's pushed out.
00:09:30.920 My only message to them is
00:09:32.420 you're a disgrace and embarrassment
00:09:34.400 because if this happened
00:09:35.140 to a journalist in Hong Kong,
00:09:36.420 if what's happened to me
00:09:37.360 happened to a journalist in Russia,
00:09:38.800 in China,
00:09:39.500 you'd all be up in arms.
00:09:40.720 But because I talk about Islam,
00:09:42.300 you're all silent.
00:09:42.900 You're all complicit
00:09:43.760 in the attack on free speech
00:09:45.420 that we're witnessing.
00:09:46.040 You're all complicit
00:09:47.040 on what's happened to our country.
00:09:48.640 All of the media are.
00:09:49.400 Well, it's a great point.
00:09:50.680 Right now, there's Venezuela.
00:09:52.680 I was found guilty
00:09:53.920 by an appointed judge.
00:09:55.180 By an appointed judge
00:09:56.120 two weeks before.
00:09:56.680 That's how the rule works.
00:09:57.020 No, not by a jury.
00:09:58.140 Common law,
00:09:58.700 English common law,
00:09:59.420 says that if you can face
00:10:00.240 over six months in prison,
00:10:01.200 you get a jury.
00:10:02.160 I was not given a jury.
00:10:03.440 So you'd be not guilty
00:10:04.320 if it was a jury trial?
00:10:04.760 I know I've got found
00:10:05.600 not guilty,
00:10:06.160 and so do they.
00:10:06.920 It's the only offense
00:10:08.520 in the whole entire country
00:10:09.760 that you can get taken
00:10:11.420 to prison for up to two years
00:10:12.920 without a jury.
00:10:13.800 Well, that was interesting,
00:10:14.940 but as I said,
00:10:15.920 we needed to get that lad to,
00:10:17.740 well, he wanted a quarter pounder.
00:10:19.660 He had been watching ads
00:10:20.720 for quarter pounders
00:10:21.720 for 66 days.
00:10:23.180 The lad wanted his McDonald's,
00:10:24.920 and then, boy,
00:10:25.700 did he need a barber.
00:10:26.660 So we did that.
00:10:27.740 Well, we picked him up
00:10:43.720 at prison.
00:10:44.560 We got him a haircut.
00:10:45.920 He had a hot meal,
00:10:46.760 and now Tommy Robinson
00:10:47.680 sits down with me.
00:10:48.540 What a pleasure to see you
00:10:50.200 outside of prison
00:10:51.560 and free again.
00:10:52.900 It's good to be seen.
00:10:54.660 This time was a lot different
00:10:55.940 than your incarceration
00:10:57.160 and HMP only.
00:10:58.740 I would describe that
00:10:59.900 as torture,
00:11:01.040 physical and psychological.
00:11:03.400 How was it this time?
00:11:04.940 So I was in Belmarsh,
00:11:06.700 obviously,
00:11:07.460 and the governor of Belmarsh
00:11:09.220 made a complete effort
00:11:10.580 to make sure
00:11:11.420 that my rights were recognized.
00:11:13.980 I was in for a civil offense.
00:11:15.300 It's not a criminal offense.
00:11:17.040 As a civil prisoner,
00:11:18.160 you're entitled to more money.
00:11:19.680 So my big thing...
00:11:20.900 As in to spend more of your own money?
00:11:22.360 To spend more money.
00:11:22.780 £47.50 a week I could spend,
00:11:25.100 which meant I could buy
00:11:25.940 as much tinned food
00:11:26.880 as I wanted to
00:11:27.560 and really,
00:11:29.560 basically,
00:11:30.440 and fruit and things like that.
00:11:32.100 In Honolulu last year,
00:11:33.560 £10 a week I had
00:11:34.580 so I could buy
00:11:35.500 six tins of tuna.
00:11:36.840 That's it.
00:11:37.600 And you couldn't eat
00:11:38.340 the prison cafeteria food
00:11:39.800 because, of course,
00:11:40.220 it was made by
00:11:40.680 the prison Muslim gangs.
00:11:43.680 How was it in Belmarsh?
00:11:45.120 Did you feel comfortable
00:11:45.960 eating their prepared food?
00:11:47.440 So from when I was...
00:11:48.880 I went into Belmarsh prison
00:11:50.340 and come out of Belmarsh prison
00:11:51.580 without seeing a prisoner.
00:11:52.660 The only prisoner I saw
00:11:54.100 on two separate occasions
00:11:55.240 was Julian Assange.
00:11:56.780 Now that's amazing
00:11:57.980 to a lot of people
00:11:59.060 that...
00:12:00.020 Because...
00:12:00.500 I mean,
00:12:00.760 I don't know enough
00:12:01.600 about Julian Assange
00:12:02.500 to come to a firm conclusion,
00:12:03.780 but some people call him
00:12:04.700 a political prisoner.
00:12:05.980 He's certainly not a violent man.
00:12:07.820 You are definitely
00:12:08.740 a political prisoner.
00:12:10.460 For the two of you
00:12:11.380 to wind up in the same prison,
00:12:13.160 the same unit,
00:12:14.480 that's quite something.
00:12:15.300 Maybe it was inevitable.
00:12:16.280 I don't know.
00:12:16.460 So he's in healthcare,
00:12:19.200 which...
00:12:19.540 So basically,
00:12:20.520 where I was was...
00:12:22.120 It's a prison within the prison,
00:12:23.520 so essentially no one goes
00:12:24.660 to this section bit.
00:12:25.600 So you've got a corridor,
00:12:27.540 you've got a corridor along here,
00:12:28.980 and there's no windows
00:12:29.640 in the corridor.
00:12:30.160 So there's a corridor,
00:12:30.740 there's a door at this end
00:12:31.480 and a door at this end.
00:12:32.840 And on this strip,
00:12:34.580 there'll be four rooms.
00:12:35.580 There's a prison officer's room
00:12:37.440 where the staff will sit,
00:12:38.780 two members of the staff,
00:12:40.420 then an empty cell,
00:12:41.940 and then my cell,
00:12:43.280 and then the next cell,
00:12:44.640 which is another empty cell
00:12:45.900 with a exercise bike in it.
00:12:49.020 And at the end,
00:12:49.580 you'll have...
00:12:50.240 Then at the end,
00:12:50.880 there's a shower.
00:12:52.020 So...
00:12:52.620 And then my...
00:12:53.420 So for me to have it...
00:12:54.440 So the idea is
00:12:55.140 that you're contained on here,
00:12:56.620 no one sees you,
00:12:57.500 no one knows you're there.
00:12:58.380 They call it a suite,
00:12:59.520 don't they?
00:12:59.920 They call it the...
00:13:00.680 Yes, it's...
00:13:01.140 The suite.
00:13:02.060 For anyone who's stayed
00:13:03.580 in a suite in a hotel,
00:13:04.660 it's not...
00:13:05.240 It's not a suite yet.
00:13:06.720 It's basically three cells.
00:13:09.760 But...
00:13:10.160 So at nine in the morning,
00:13:12.340 so they'd come
00:13:13.040 and my door would be opened
00:13:14.100 at nine in the morning,
00:13:14.920 quarter to nine.
00:13:15.680 And then when my door's open,
00:13:17.060 then the officers
00:13:18.260 then sit in their room
00:13:19.580 and then I have
00:13:21.440 till quarter past eleven
00:13:22.400 to shower,
00:13:24.580 use the bike.
00:13:25.380 So you're on your own,
00:13:26.900 but I'll go on the bike for an hour.
00:13:28.040 The bike was a good sign.
00:13:28.940 The first day I saw the bike,
00:13:31.200 I was like,
00:13:31.480 because they said,
00:13:31.980 you've got your own gym.
00:13:33.220 Because I said,
00:13:33.740 I want to go to the gym.
00:13:34.480 You've got your own gym.
00:13:35.260 When I was coming in the reception,
00:13:37.480 I saw the bike,
00:13:38.280 I first went to the gym.
00:13:38.900 Is that all it is?
00:13:39.680 The bike did the bike saw?
00:13:40.580 Yeah, but it was actually good.
00:13:41.540 No, no, no.
00:13:42.080 That's it.
00:13:42.400 And then,
00:13:43.680 so then I'd do an hour on the bike.
00:13:45.700 I'd pace up and down
00:13:48.360 to cool down a bit
00:13:49.840 before I had a shower
00:13:50.680 and then I'd have a shower
00:13:51.860 and then I'd go on
00:13:52.900 an exercise yard,
00:13:53.980 which is a contained exercise.
00:13:55.760 So the exercise yard
00:13:56.740 backs onto where my window is
00:13:58.160 and it's like,
00:14:00.220 you see from the visit room,
00:14:01.560 it's four storey high.
00:14:03.080 But there's windows
00:14:04.080 looking on this exercise yard.
00:14:05.660 So it's a square,
00:14:06.740 it's a courtyard.
00:14:08.500 But there's no cells
00:14:10.300 that look onto it.
00:14:11.600 There's no cells around here.
00:14:14.140 This part of the prison,
00:14:15.480 this is all offices.
00:14:17.280 But then at the top,
00:14:18.420 there's four cells from healthcare.
00:14:20.360 So if you've had an operation,
00:14:21.680 if you're on a hospital wing,
00:14:24.260 there's four windows
00:14:25.640 that looked onto this courtyard.
00:14:27.500 Junior Assange's
00:14:28.260 was the second window in.
00:14:29.460 So you could holler up to him
00:14:31.940 and he could holler down to you?
00:14:33.440 Yeah, so two days,
00:14:34.700 where are we now?
00:14:35.360 Two, three days ago,
00:14:36.260 I spent 30 minutes
00:14:37.940 when I could see him then
00:14:39.640 because, again,
00:14:41.760 he's not having a good time.
00:14:43.820 He's been in the form of detention
00:14:46.200 for many years.
00:14:47.140 Yeah, and as he says,
00:14:48.900 the isolation has gained
00:14:49.900 or got to him.
00:14:52.560 I don't want to pry into any confidences,
00:14:55.020 although I don't think
00:14:55.740 I'd call it a confidence.
00:14:56.680 Obviously, every word he said to you
00:14:58.200 and vice versa
00:14:58.740 was tracked by the prison
00:15:01.060 and probably
00:15:01.640 various intelligence agencies.
00:15:03.460 I don't think there's
00:15:04.140 a private word spoken
00:15:05.380 in those contingency suites.
00:15:07.320 I know when I visited you,
00:15:08.380 there was a camera
00:15:09.160 at the ceiling.
00:15:09.900 There's cameras, I don't know.
00:15:10.640 Are you at liberty
00:15:11.440 to discuss what you
00:15:12.600 talked about with him?
00:15:15.780 Yeah, I wouldn't be aware.
00:15:17.320 That's why I wouldn't be aware
00:15:18.360 if he didn't even want me to.
00:15:19.680 So, through a mutual friend
00:15:21.580 that was...
00:15:21.960 You know what,
00:15:22.600 no problem,
00:15:23.620 I just was curious,
00:15:24.300 but the fact that you spoke
00:15:25.460 with him was interesting.
00:15:26.940 I spoke to him
00:15:27.820 about a mutual friend
00:15:28.800 we spoke about this morning,
00:15:29.840 so I knew,
00:15:30.420 and you think,
00:15:31.340 I'll say if I could...
00:15:31.820 No problem,
00:15:32.460 I was just curious
00:15:33.380 because I know our viewers
00:15:34.240 will be tantalized.
00:15:35.420 Now, when I visited you
00:15:36.460 on one of those occasions,
00:15:37.780 I heard some moaning
00:15:38.820 or some shouting,
00:15:39.960 obviously not from the science,
00:15:41.160 there's another prisoner,
00:15:43.020 was there a murderer
00:15:44.020 in the wing as well?
00:15:44.720 So, on healthcare as well,
00:15:47.340 so there's a prisoner who...
00:15:49.460 So, in the first week,
00:15:50.680 I was speaking to him
00:15:51.740 because I couldn't see him,
00:15:53.040 so I haven't seen him,
00:15:53.920 but he can shout out the window
00:15:55.660 and you can speak to the person.
00:15:57.040 There's four windows there,
00:15:58.000 but there's one lad there
00:15:59.840 who was feeling sorry
00:16:01.580 for him the first week.
00:16:02.800 He's having a terrible sentence.
00:16:03.880 He's 10 years in.
00:16:05.820 10 years in isolation?
00:16:07.380 No, so he's not in isolation.
00:16:08.660 So, he's in hell.
00:16:09.500 Yeah, for his door to open,
00:16:10.540 there has to be four security,
00:16:12.440 he's wearing full riot gear
00:16:13.620 every time.
00:16:14.460 Oh, my God,
00:16:15.240 he must be a monster.
00:16:17.020 Or maybe not.
00:16:17.960 Maybe not.
00:16:18.600 They could say that about you.
00:16:19.640 No, he is.
00:16:20.320 So, the crime he told me
00:16:21.600 he was in there for,
00:16:22.540 I checked out
00:16:23.240 because I didn't want to be talking.
00:16:24.340 I want to know
00:16:24.860 what he's in there for.
00:16:25.580 He told me he's in there
00:16:26.160 for murdering his mate.
00:16:27.460 He's not in there
00:16:27.940 for murdering his mate.
00:16:28.900 He's in there for murdering,
00:16:29.740 raping, 16-0,
00:16:30.580 girl, and phone.
00:16:31.200 I remember the phone was good.
00:16:32.180 So, he's having a bad tenure.
00:16:33.940 And when I found that out,
00:16:35.500 I thought it was good
00:16:35.980 that he's having
00:16:36.360 such a bad sentence
00:16:37.200 and I hope he has another
00:16:38.460 15 years of hell in there.
00:16:40.260 But, that's the only...
00:16:44.460 Anyone who's been in prison,
00:16:45.260 it's the hustle and bustle
00:16:45.980 of being in prison.
00:16:46.760 It's the noises of being in prison,
00:16:48.260 the environment of being in prison.
00:16:50.040 But, this wasn't like
00:16:51.000 being in a prison
00:16:52.280 because, as I said,
00:16:53.800 the only person I saw briefly,
00:16:55.900 which was once...
00:16:57.100 So, and again,
00:16:58.700 so when I got in there,
00:17:00.500 I expected the same as last time.
00:17:02.900 23 and a half hour bang up.
00:17:04.780 Them to block
00:17:05.580 and they blocked...
00:17:07.260 Like, last time,
00:17:07.780 the only time they'd get me out
00:17:08.780 was at lunchtime
00:17:10.680 for my shower.
00:17:11.940 And that's when I could use the phone.
00:17:13.340 And my wife, at the time,
00:17:14.160 was working actually
00:17:14.900 in a school.
00:17:15.900 She's not now.
00:17:16.480 But she was working in a school.
00:17:17.720 And my kids were at school.
00:17:18.640 So, I couldn't speak to my family.
00:17:20.500 And they'd purposely
00:17:21.360 done everything.
00:17:22.640 So, I expected the same.
00:17:24.080 But, um...
00:17:25.160 And I was probably quite rude
00:17:26.900 on the first day.
00:17:28.560 I remember when the governor
00:17:29.500 come down to see me
00:17:30.360 and I just said,
00:17:30.780 shut the door.
00:17:31.800 Because I expected the same.
00:17:33.240 But then,
00:17:34.080 it very...
00:17:35.420 I knew quite quickly
00:17:36.300 it wasn't the same.
00:17:37.180 I mean,
00:17:37.580 like, essentially,
00:17:39.240 that governor
00:17:39.760 is in a position
00:17:40.600 where I've landed in this prison,
00:17:42.600 which is why
00:17:42.900 I haven't got a bad word
00:17:43.600 to say about Belmarsh.
00:17:44.860 I'm annoyed and angered
00:17:46.160 and frustrated
00:17:46.660 at what they've been
00:17:48.040 allowed to do again.
00:17:49.160 By putting me
00:17:49.800 at the Old Bailey,
00:17:50.440 they know that
00:17:50.860 sends me to Belmarsh.
00:17:51.860 Belmarsh is...
00:17:54.120 houses the worst
00:17:55.300 terrorists
00:17:56.080 and the worst...
00:17:56.700 It's like Guantanamo Bay.
00:17:57.560 Yeah, it's the worst offenders
00:17:58.600 and the worst offenders
00:18:00.060 in the UK
00:18:00.540 are sent to Belmarsh.
00:18:01.640 Salman Abadie's brothers
00:18:02.940 believe in there now.
00:18:04.520 The man who attacked
00:18:05.720 the police officer,
00:18:06.560 the British order,
00:18:07.120 he come in there.
00:18:08.400 So it's terrorists and murders.
00:18:12.060 And you?
00:18:12.940 And a civil offender.
00:18:14.520 So that...
00:18:14.860 Ross Kemp...
00:18:15.420 That's what...
00:18:15.960 Because Ross Kemp's
00:18:16.580 doing a documentary.
00:18:17.480 He's a British journalist?
00:18:18.800 Yeah, he's doing it
00:18:19.760 and he come down...
00:18:20.380 That's what he come down
00:18:21.100 after a couple of days
00:18:21.940 and I don't put it...
00:18:23.700 I think he come down
00:18:25.220 after a couple of days
00:18:25.700 saying how do you feel
00:18:27.720 and you're not in...
00:18:29.540 You're not a threat here
00:18:30.860 and he's right.
00:18:32.160 And there was no...
00:18:33.460 No time in that sentence
00:18:34.740 after the first couple of days
00:18:36.640 did I feel in danger.
00:18:38.420 You know,
00:18:38.780 which is very different
00:18:39.720 to my last sentence.
00:18:41.040 So...
00:18:41.660 And then, as I said,
00:18:43.220 the office,
00:18:44.120 the governor,
00:18:45.320 once I'm in his jail,
00:18:46.180 he's got a duty of care
00:18:48.660 to keep me safe
00:18:49.280 so he's fulfilling
00:18:50.620 his duty of care
00:18:51.180 to keep me safe
00:18:51.660 but the argument,
00:18:52.680 what I was saying
00:18:53.160 to Ross Kemp is
00:18:53.940 in the last 12 months
00:18:56.900 I'm a journalist.
00:18:58.860 I work as a journalist.
00:19:00.260 Whether the media like it or not.
00:19:01.900 Whether Geoffrey Cox
00:19:04.160 or the British government
00:19:05.140 or any of them like it.
00:19:06.560 I've become the most watched
00:19:07.560 journalist in the UK.
00:19:09.580 They don't like that.
00:19:10.740 Now,
00:19:11.940 they don't like the stories I tell.
00:19:14.220 Now,
00:19:14.680 the judges sum it up.
00:19:15.640 Let's pretend for a second
00:19:16.420 that I did commit contempt of court
00:19:17.740 which I didn't.
00:19:18.500 Let's pretend I did.
00:19:19.740 Then,
00:19:20.100 in the judges summing up
00:19:21.320 when she sent it to me
00:19:22.020 because I had a write out of here
00:19:22.900 which I read to Ross Kemp
00:19:24.820 I said,
00:19:25.160 listen to what she says.
00:19:26.520 My offence was unintentional.
00:19:28.860 So she's not saying
00:19:29.520 I intended to break the law.
00:19:30.460 So what she's saying is
00:19:31.460 I committed an accident,
00:19:33.420 an error,
00:19:34.640 whilst working.
00:19:36.500 And for that,
00:19:37.780 for that error
00:19:38.500 that had no effect
00:19:39.840 at all
00:19:40.880 on the trial.
00:19:41.580 they see this
00:19:44.020 as a fit punishment
00:19:45.900 I've done
00:19:47.120 in the last 12 months
00:19:48.600 I've spent
00:19:49.040 two and a half months,
00:19:50.540 three months nearly
00:19:51.180 on solitary confinement
00:19:52.980 in awful conditions
00:19:55.320 in H&P only
00:19:56.400 with them messing with everything
00:19:58.080 they couldn't mess with.
00:19:59.180 This sentence was very different
00:20:00.580 in the sense that
00:20:01.820 the staff were great
00:20:02.800 when I saw them.
00:20:04.220 You know what I mean?
00:20:04.520 I only see them
00:20:05.160 for two hours
00:20:06.180 when my cell opens
00:20:07.060 and then because of the unit
00:20:08.300 because of this unit
00:20:09.460 that I'm on
00:20:10.020 I believe the unit
00:20:10.800 was built for Ian Huntley.
00:20:12.920 Who's here?
00:20:13.640 Ian Huntley murdered
00:20:14.360 two young children,
00:20:15.420 two young girls
00:20:16.000 regularly killed them.
00:20:18.160 So he's
00:20:18.580 Ian Huntley's on it
00:20:19.860 there was another
00:20:20.400 Abu Hamza I believe
00:20:22.220 has been on it
00:20:22.840 Michael Ola Bellagio
00:20:24.300 has been on it.
00:20:25.160 So it's an isolation unit
00:20:26.380 but there's
00:20:28.460 there's two
00:20:29.100 there's two free cells
00:20:30.540 so sometimes
00:20:31.320 when they've got some people
00:20:32.160 on they might have
00:20:32.700 a few of them on there
00:20:33.480 but essentially
00:20:34.560 when I was on there
00:20:35.160 it's just me on there
00:20:36.340 and so I said
00:20:37.980 I'm on this isolation unit
00:20:39.680 for a civil offence
00:20:41.560 where
00:20:42.420 and for me
00:20:43.720 that's what I said
00:20:44.360 where I'm feeling
00:20:45.680 sorry for myself
00:20:46.300 I said this is just bullshit
00:20:47.460 for the whole world
00:20:49.120 to see
00:20:49.560 and it sends out
00:20:50.500 a bad
00:20:50.820 I think
00:20:51.620 a terrible image
00:20:52.440 of this country
00:20:53.120 that a journalist
00:20:54.200 can get locked up
00:20:54.940 and it's not just locked up
00:20:55.980 it's not like
00:20:56.580 prison's prison
00:20:57.520 I've been to prison
00:20:58.340 multiple times
00:20:59.720 as people know
00:21:00.320 and I've had
00:21:01.420 in 2014
00:21:02.240 even when I was
00:21:03.360 violently battered
00:21:04.740 I still had an alright sentence
00:21:06.520 I was on the wing
00:21:07.360 I was working
00:21:08.020 so people understand
00:21:09.320 what your prison system is
00:21:10.520 even the terrorists
00:21:11.600 so the terrorists
00:21:12.240 in Belmash
00:21:13.660 HMP Belmash
00:21:14.340 on the terrorist room
00:21:15.700 they get out there
00:21:16.760 so late in the morning
00:21:17.520 they then get locked up
00:21:18.420 at 12
00:21:18.780 they then get out at 2
00:21:20.040 and they're locked up
00:21:20.840 at 6
00:21:21.320 they're out all day
00:21:22.180 they can work
00:21:23.260 they can have education
00:21:24.100 they can play pool
00:21:24.860 they can play snooker
00:21:25.580 the prisoners
00:21:26.720 have football pitches
00:21:27.600 you have
00:21:28.540 all these things
00:21:29.540 that keep you occupied
00:21:30.220 and get you busy
00:21:30.740 so essentially
00:21:31.280 your day
00:21:31.800 is like you're at work
00:21:33.720 and then
00:21:34.500 you're locked up at night
00:21:35.560 basically
00:21:36.220 so that's why
00:21:36.960 I said to him
00:21:37.980 I said I'm a civil offender
00:21:39.000 I'm the least offence
00:21:40.040 in this whole entire prison
00:21:41.160 but I'm locked up
00:21:42.580 the most out of anyone
00:21:43.460 in this prison
00:21:44.120 it doesn't make any sense
00:21:45.160 but I'm not having a go
00:21:46.500 again
00:21:46.800 because I've stressed out
00:21:47.800 I'm not saying anything
00:21:49.140 about Belmash
00:21:49.740 because there's nothing else
00:21:51.080 that governor could have done
00:21:51.920 once in a while
00:21:52.360 that prison governor
00:21:53.460 was sent to you
00:21:54.460 so what could he do
00:21:56.300 but do what he did
00:21:57.540 I asked when I got in there
00:21:59.620 to be located in a
00:22:01.120 I didn't ask for isolation
00:22:02.340 again
00:22:02.900 so I didn't go in
00:22:04.280 and say I need protection
00:22:05.120 you need to isolate me
00:22:06.140 they didn't even ask
00:22:07.800 a question this time
00:22:08.600 it was straight
00:22:09.160 you're going on
00:22:10.040 but they said
00:22:11.180 so I said
00:22:12.000 why can't I be sent
00:22:12.740 to a decap prison
00:22:14.100 which is a casual prison
00:22:15.860 like a low risk
00:22:17.260 you go home
00:22:19.160 on weekends
00:22:19.580 you don't get locked up
00:22:21.600 in fact my offence
00:22:24.820 is a decap offence
00:22:26.360 so I said
00:22:27.460 how can I walk out
00:22:28.300 of maximum security jail
00:22:29.360 for contempt of court
00:22:31.760 in a maximum security jail
00:22:32.680 did you ever get an answer
00:22:33.440 to that?
00:22:34.200 nah
00:22:34.460 and then it's like
00:22:35.840 so I said
00:22:36.700 and then even
00:22:37.560 even the location
00:22:38.600 so if they'd have moved me
00:22:40.140 to exit a prison
00:22:40.860 I'd have been fine
00:22:42.680 because they just
00:22:43.960 moved me in prison
00:22:44.980 with low Muslim population
00:22:45.920 I'd be fine
00:22:46.400 you know this morning
00:22:47.800 when you came out
00:22:48.840 of prison
00:22:49.520 I think there was
00:22:51.080 only one other
00:22:51.820 group of journalists
00:22:52.900 there might have been
00:22:53.920 a second
00:22:54.360 but the Daily Mirror
00:22:55.460 was there
00:22:55.960 and
00:22:57.000 it was remarkable
00:23:00.220 to me
00:23:00.800 the reporter
00:23:03.300 from the Daily Mirror
00:23:04.200 was not just
00:23:05.480 I mean I like a reporter
00:23:06.940 that asks a tough question
00:23:08.140 that's the only
00:23:08.980 interesting kind
00:23:09.960 of reporter there is
00:23:10.780 but he wasn't
00:23:11.820 asking you a question
00:23:12.740 he was prosecuting you
00:23:14.920 he was
00:23:15.500 he was telling you
00:23:17.340 why you were wrong
00:23:18.740 and why the system
00:23:20.400 was wrong
00:23:20.740 but he doesn't
00:23:21.600 I mean he's not
00:23:23.480 well briefed in the facts
00:23:24.340 but that's fine
00:23:25.360 a lot of journalists
00:23:26.000 are ignorant
00:23:26.340 I was
00:23:26.940 maybe I shouldn't
00:23:28.680 be shocked anymore
00:23:29.500 but he was saying
00:23:30.420 no this is excellent
00:23:31.640 you specifically said
00:23:33.200 if this happened
00:23:33.880 in Russia or Venezuela
00:23:34.900 we'd be shocked
00:23:35.780 he said
00:23:36.440 no this is exactly
00:23:37.380 I couldn't believe
00:23:38.760 a journalist
00:23:39.460 was exuberant
00:23:42.160 about your censorship
00:23:43.380 in prison
00:23:43.880 they're not
00:23:44.100 he's not
00:23:45.200 they're activists
00:23:46.180 rather than journalists
00:23:47.820 but I haven't seen
00:23:48.680 one journalist
00:23:49.600 in the entire United Kingdom
00:23:50.900 other than a couple
00:23:51.800 of guys at Breitbart
00:23:52.640 not one
00:23:53.200 at the Telegraph
00:23:54.340 at the Times
00:23:55.780 at the Mirror
00:23:56.700 at the Mail
00:23:57.280 at the Sun
00:23:58.440 not one
00:23:59.140 well my frustrating thing
00:24:01.360 is you said
00:24:01.820 he was from the Mirror
00:24:02.400 the Mirror
00:24:02.780 whilst I was in prison
00:24:04.200 the Mirror
00:24:04.580 ran a story
00:24:05.260 which actually
00:24:06.560 the Governor
00:24:06.980 come in with Ross Kemp
00:24:08.100 with the newspaper
00:24:08.940 to say
00:24:09.900 and his front page
00:24:11.160 of the newspaper
00:24:11.660 and there was this
00:24:12.140 story put out
00:24:13.000 in the Daily Mirror
00:24:13.620 so the audacity
00:24:14.940 of that journalist
00:24:15.620 to come from the same paper
00:24:16.700 which absolutely
00:24:17.320 made up a story
00:24:18.160 they said that
00:24:19.200 you were knocked out
00:24:20.540 in one punch
00:24:21.320 by a 70 year old
00:24:22.720 pensioner
00:24:23.660 in the showers
00:24:24.960 I got that news
00:24:26.720 in Canada
00:24:27.200 it was front page
00:24:28.280 news in the Daily Express
00:24:30.460 I think the Mirror
00:24:31.080 picked it up
00:24:31.460 the Daily Star
00:24:31.940 the Mirror
00:24:32.360 the Radio
00:24:32.840 the Star
00:24:33.140 that's right
00:24:33.480 it was the Daily Star
00:24:34.140 and I thought to myself
00:24:35.920 and you were in
00:24:36.900 Communicato
00:24:37.340 I mean
00:24:37.880 I thought
00:24:38.620 that can't be right
00:24:40.040 but maybe it was
00:24:41.620 if it's on the front page
00:24:43.160 of the Star
00:24:43.700 front page
00:24:44.200 the upsetting thing
00:24:46.320 for me is
00:24:46.700 I ring home
00:24:47.540 and my kids
00:24:48.100 have been sent down
00:24:48.920 so my kids think
00:24:49.820 I'm being attacked
00:24:50.320 in jail
00:24:50.640 which isn't true
00:24:51.980 but the other thing
00:24:53.320 is that story
00:24:55.720 has gone out
00:24:56.320 they didn't even
00:24:57.820 ring the prison
00:24:58.440 it's completely
00:24:59.220 the purpose for that
00:25:01.040 if you read the story
00:25:02.060 there's two pages
00:25:02.900 in the paper as well
00:25:04.020 if you read that story
00:25:04.840 it paints an image
00:25:05.980 of who I am
00:25:06.520 it says that I come
00:25:07.540 into prison
00:25:07.940 thinking I'm the big man
00:25:08.860 yeah
00:25:09.080 they say you walk in
00:25:09.980 with a swagger
00:25:10.840 and I believe
00:25:11.500 it said I was
00:25:12.260 trying to intimidate
00:25:13.140 an old age pensioner
00:25:14.080 and then it said
00:25:15.040 so that is the image
00:25:17.160 that they're portraying
00:25:17.780 another story went out
00:25:18.700 whilst I was in there
00:25:19.320 saying I bought drugs
00:25:20.280 in the gym
00:25:20.880 and I was
00:25:23.300 I bought drugs
00:25:24.460 in the gym
00:25:24.880 and I was rushed to hospital
00:25:25.800 for taking the detergent
00:25:27.460 or something
00:25:27.880 and this was published
00:25:28.980 these are all published
00:25:29.760 yeah
00:25:30.000 and they're just
00:25:31.120 completely made up
00:25:31.820 you know
00:25:32.200 and obviously they had
00:25:33.280 they didn't even
00:25:34.800 pick up the phone
00:25:35.400 to check
00:25:35.840 no because I asked
00:25:36.600 the governor
00:25:37.020 he's like
00:25:38.320 because when he
00:25:38.760 bought the paper
00:25:39.280 and he goes
00:25:39.580 this isn't good
00:25:40.200 it's not good
00:25:40.840 for our jail
00:25:41.440 and I said
00:25:42.260 it's not going to do
00:25:43.640 me
00:25:43.880 I said what do you
00:25:44.640 I read one of these
00:25:45.700 a month
00:25:46.120 but
00:25:46.800 and I said
00:25:47.980 did they ring you
00:25:48.640 he goes
00:25:48.980 no they meant me
00:25:49.640 they didn't ring
00:25:50.380 I said oh
00:25:50.760 they meant me
00:25:51.260 and then he
00:25:52.280 so he said
00:25:53.040 because someone
00:25:53.480 one of my supporters
00:25:54.360 had gone into the reception
00:25:55.200 of the prison
00:25:55.740 that morning
00:25:56.280 when it come out
00:25:57.680 are saying
00:25:58.380 well there'll be
00:25:59.040 hundreds of us
00:25:59.920 coming back here
00:26:00.660 like
00:26:01.240 so he actually said
00:26:03.320 it puts my staff
00:26:04.440 in dangerous
00:26:05.080 well and it makes
00:26:06.100 the prison look like
00:26:06.960 a place with no discipline
00:26:08.160 and with random violence
00:26:09.680 do you know what
00:26:10.160 it was
00:26:10.420 maybe it is
00:26:11.200 but it wasn't
00:26:11.920 in these cases
00:26:12.620 oh well from what I saw
00:26:13.760 of it
00:26:14.020 it had complete discipline
00:26:15.640 and the governor
00:26:17.040 so in that first week
00:26:18.280 when I first come
00:26:19.040 into the jail
00:26:19.680 I thought 23 and a half
00:26:21.040 hour look up
00:26:21.600 everything's going to be
00:26:22.760 I'm not going to get
00:26:23.880 in the gym
00:26:24.380 so and there was a protest
00:26:25.900 outside obviously
00:26:26.640 planned
00:26:27.460 which I wanted
00:26:29.120 and then I know
00:26:31.200 that then people
00:26:32.060 some people on the outside
00:26:33.160 for the best intentions
00:26:34.720 I know Shazia Hobbs
00:26:35.620 was contacting my wife
00:26:37.160 and I'm on a prison phone
00:26:38.540 that's constantly monitored
00:26:39.460 so I can't say things
00:26:40.480 on the phone
00:26:40.920 I cannot be sitting
00:26:42.020 in a prison cell
00:26:42.680 on a phone
00:26:43.500 organising protests
00:26:44.700 or things outside
00:26:45.380 so I know there's a protest
00:26:46.960 happening
00:26:47.300 which I want to happen
00:26:49.000 because I wanted to be
00:26:50.420 in a position as such
00:26:51.420 to bargain with the governor
00:26:53.240 which the governor
00:26:54.160 then come and saw me
00:26:54.920 and said look
00:26:55.580 this is disruptive
00:26:56.340 to the jail
00:26:56.880 we can't have this
00:26:58.020 I said all I want
00:26:59.060 is my rights recognised
00:27:00.000 I'll make sure no one
00:27:01.160 comes near this prison
00:27:01.940 and I know
00:27:02.380 at the time
00:27:03.720 there was a lot of
00:27:04.860 suspicion
00:27:05.300 I know Shazia
00:27:06.320 Shazia for all
00:27:07.740 the right intentions
00:27:08.520 was thinking
00:27:09.620 that a protest
00:27:10.700 outside the jail
00:27:11.400 would upset
00:27:11.800 all the other inmates
00:27:12.500 which would be
00:27:12.940 problematic for me
00:27:13.820 but not knowing
00:27:14.780 that I know
00:27:15.240 that I'm inside the prison
00:27:16.260 and no one's
00:27:16.720 seeing me anyway
00:27:17.280 so there was
00:27:18.440 isn't that interesting
00:27:20.900 well
00:27:21.480 did you have
00:27:23.660 your rights respected
00:27:24.520 I remember
00:27:25.540 I think in my second
00:27:26.960 visit to you
00:27:27.620 you said you had not
00:27:28.920 received mail for a month
00:27:30.200 and I made a fuss
00:27:31.240 shortly thereafter
00:27:32.780 you got it
00:27:33.360 that upset me
00:27:34.580 that you didn't get
00:27:35.200 your mail
00:27:35.660 did you finally get
00:27:37.000 everything
00:27:37.260 I finally got my mail
00:27:38.080 so essentially
00:27:38.960 the number
00:27:40.580 I don't complain about
00:27:41.780 much
00:27:42.400 and once I saw
00:27:43.360 all I said to the governor
00:27:44.740 I just want to use the gym
00:27:46.540 just get me in the gym
00:27:47.820 and he did
00:27:48.980 on a Tuesday morning
00:27:50.220 and a Thursday morning
00:27:51.340 before the staff
00:27:52.720 started work
00:27:53.460 so some of the staff
00:27:54.200 would come in early
00:27:54.900 to walk me through
00:27:56.500 to the gym
00:27:56.980 to the actual gym
00:27:58.700 so I'd be in the gym
00:28:00.020 on my own
00:28:00.780 then just a little
00:28:03.120 so that's
00:28:04.200 half seven
00:28:04.860 they're meant to get you
00:28:05.440 so this is little things
00:28:06.820 that will just
00:28:07.240 absolutely
00:28:07.700 so the half seven
00:28:09.040 they're meant to get you
00:28:09.540 and then
00:28:09.900 so it might be a Thursday morning
00:28:12.240 and I'm sitting there
00:28:12.740 at half seven
00:28:13.260 thinking this is the only time
00:28:14.360 I'm getting off
00:28:14.800 of this thing anyway
00:28:15.940 so I don't want to
00:28:16.640 and they might not turn up
00:28:18.060 so there was about
00:28:18.680 four times
00:28:19.300 when they didn't turn up
00:28:20.300 which then
00:28:20.960 when they open the door
00:28:22.460 I want to kill someone
00:28:23.140 I just want to get in the gym
00:28:24.500 I remember in Onley
00:28:25.860 they cancelled
00:28:27.520 one of your lawyers meetings
00:28:28.640 and they
00:28:29.120 yeah this wasn't
00:28:30.260 there's nothing
00:28:30.900 I would say
00:28:31.660 there's nothing
00:28:32.040 even when you
00:28:32.740 people were late
00:28:33.640 I would say
00:28:34.380 in fact after meeting
00:28:35.660 the governor
00:28:36.140 they done everything
00:28:38.720 so nothing untoward
00:28:39.920 with regards
00:28:41.520 and my fine calls
00:28:42.360 with regards to the male
00:28:43.420 what they said is
00:28:45.980 your male's up here
00:28:47.060 and it has to be
00:28:49.000 it has to go through
00:28:50.180 counter-terrorism
00:28:51.120 I think that
00:28:51.620 counter-terrorism
00:28:52.260 could have a lot more
00:28:53.120 better time
00:28:53.680 if they stopped
00:28:54.440 looking at the letters
00:28:55.020 there's 23,000 jihadis
00:28:56.420 reading letters
00:28:57.220 from my mum
00:28:58.100 and my supporters
00:28:59.860 who were the average age
00:29:00.720 as a 60 year old female
00:29:01.880 and actually look at
00:29:03.960 some Islamic jihadis
00:29:04.980 but counter-terrorism
00:29:05.700 had to go through my mouth
00:29:06.460 so everything has to be censored
00:29:07.800 so that's what they said
00:29:09.640 but to be honest
00:29:10.540 once I made the point
00:29:12.000 and pushed the point
00:29:12.800 to the governor
00:29:13.300 instantly
00:29:13.800 he met
00:29:14.700 they were in on overtime
00:29:15.780 doing my mail
00:29:16.620 and I read
00:29:17.800 anyone who sent me a letter
00:29:19.720 I read every one of them
00:29:21.200 now
00:29:21.800 your first time
00:29:23.960 in Honley
00:29:24.360 you had I think
00:29:24.840 six big duffel bags
00:29:26.600 of mail
00:29:26.960 how many do you have
00:29:28.300 this time?
00:29:29.000 we'll check out
00:29:29.480 I think about 14
00:29:30.240 and I mean
00:29:31.880 for me
00:29:32.640 it's emotional
00:29:34.700 and fulfilling
00:29:35.240 to read
00:29:36.860 people's stories
00:29:38.080 of their difficulties
00:29:39.520 in supporting me
00:29:40.820 to read
00:29:42.520 their difficulties
00:29:43.080 at work
00:29:43.680 what is apparent
00:29:45.200 is that everyone
00:29:45.840 feels silenced
00:29:46.800 and
00:29:47.520 to read what
00:29:49.580 they've gone through
00:29:50.440 to show support
00:29:51.300 for me
00:29:51.640 and to read
00:29:52.740 how much they care
00:29:53.640 so I'm reading
00:29:54.200 all these stories
00:29:54.760 and to read
00:29:55.240 you know
00:29:56.540 in my campaign
00:29:57.260 in my MEP campaign
00:29:59.280 I was going
00:30:00.240 working class
00:30:01.080 to working class
00:30:01.660 to working class
00:30:02.380 judging by my mail
00:30:04.840 it's a very different
00:30:05.940 mix up
00:30:06.540 of support
00:30:07.340 and a lot of these
00:30:08.500 supporters
00:30:08.960 are supporters
00:30:09.600 that can't come out
00:30:11.000 they tell me
00:30:11.720 their work
00:30:12.160 their jobs
00:30:12.520 I feel like
00:30:13.420 there's so many people
00:30:14.940 I know
00:30:15.480 now
00:30:15.840 because some people
00:30:16.720 miss me daily
00:30:17.720 certain people
00:30:18.920 just
00:30:19.360 I know your whole life
00:30:21.060 I hope you enjoy
00:30:21.500 your dancing
00:30:21.980 so
00:30:22.880 I used to
00:30:23.560 but I
00:30:24.220 so
00:30:25.560 yeah
00:30:26.020 I'd spend my day
00:30:26.680 I'd spend five
00:30:27.260 I'd spend five hours a day
00:30:28.640 reading
00:30:29.280 I guess that keeps you company
00:30:30.260 if you don't have
00:30:31.300 human company
00:30:32.120 now
00:30:32.600 in Onley
00:30:33.500 you didn't have any
00:30:34.420 voices
00:30:35.040 other than the shouting
00:30:36.020 at you
00:30:36.400 because they didn't give you a TV
00:30:37.560 did you have a TV this time
00:30:38.820 I didn't give you a TV
00:30:39.380 all right
00:30:39.700 I didn't really
00:30:40.460 I turned the TV on
00:30:41.860 in the evening
00:30:42.400 if I watch it
00:30:43.120 because as I said
00:30:44.460 during the day
00:30:44.980 I think I've done an hour
00:30:46.380 on that bike every morning
00:30:47.400 well that's great
00:30:49.080 so you got those emails
00:30:50.120 from email and prisoner.com
00:30:51.540 those were coming through
00:30:52.300 yeah
00:30:52.560 and then I've got
00:30:53.100 so I've got
00:30:53.780 I'll show you after this
00:30:55.220 we'll have a quick look
00:30:55.880 the cards I've got
00:30:57.500 from all over the world
00:30:58.420 just
00:30:59.100 yeah
00:30:59.820 it was
00:31:00.060 it's amazing
00:31:01.580 do you know what I mean
00:31:02.160 and it was also quite
00:31:03.500 satisfying
00:31:04.600 to think
00:31:06.720 to read the stories
00:31:08.380 and many of them
00:31:09.460 would be from people
00:31:10.600 who only started following me
00:31:11.700 in the last 12 months
00:31:12.620 and many of them
00:31:13.800 would start saying
00:31:14.860 I'm a law abiding citizen
00:31:15.740 I never broke the law
00:31:16.600 I've always had trust
00:31:17.600 in our system
00:31:18.140 in judiciary
00:31:18.780 I cannot believe
00:31:19.940 what I've just witnessed
00:31:20.660 over the last 12 months
00:31:21.560 so in the sense
00:31:23.240 I think
00:31:23.720 if whatever your objective
00:31:25.040 was within this prison sentence
00:31:26.700 which I generally believe
00:31:27.940 each time is
00:31:28.560 would be to try
00:31:30.080 and just break me
00:31:31.120 is you're actually
00:31:33.020 waking more people up
00:31:34.780 you're enlightening
00:31:35.440 more people to
00:31:36.260 the corruption
00:31:36.900 of the media
00:31:37.440 the corruption
00:31:37.860 I'm actually
00:31:38.540 Boris Johnson
00:31:39.600 I'm quite happy to see
00:31:41.080 the same government
00:31:43.400 as
00:31:43.860 I actually like Boris Johnson
00:31:45.460 I think he's shown himself
00:31:46.400 as a very strong leader
00:31:47.200 but
00:31:47.420 Geoffrey Cox
00:31:48.540 the Attorney General
00:31:50.380 who's still an Attorney General
00:31:51.660 I think that government
00:31:52.500 now knows what it's like
00:31:53.340 when you get a politicised
00:31:54.180 decision from a court
00:31:55.060 you've got a politicised
00:31:57.520 decision from the court
00:31:58.200 of Scotland
00:31:58.580 and now you know
00:31:59.500 how it feels
00:32:00.000 because my decision
00:32:01.240 with the Old Bailey
00:32:01.660 was politicised
00:32:02.400 but
00:32:03.000 if anyone
00:32:03.980 you tried to prosecute me
00:32:06.640 I got out of jail
00:32:08.780 we went before
00:32:09.680 the head judge
00:32:10.220 of the Old Bailey
00:32:10.800 he kicked out
00:32:12.140 what they then done
00:32:13.040 is just replaced
00:32:13.720 the head judge
00:32:14.200 of the Old Bailey
00:32:14.640 and put me back in
00:32:15.440 well that's the thing
00:32:16.800 they'll keep trying
00:32:18.100 if they don't try this
00:32:18.980 they'll try that
00:32:19.680 I mean I read your book
00:32:21.160 Enemy of the State
00:32:22.620 and you know
00:32:23.900 the secret police
00:32:26.140 have a saying
00:32:26.740 show us the man
00:32:27.580 we'll find the crime
00:32:28.420 like if you investigate
00:32:29.500 a guy enough
00:32:30.460 you'll find something
00:32:31.820 on him
00:32:32.360 even if it's an
00:32:33.360 overdue library book
00:32:34.820 and I sense that
00:32:36.020 that's the approach
00:32:36.760 they're taking with you
00:32:37.560 to waste your money
00:32:39.560 to waste your time
00:32:40.920 to stress you out
00:32:42.160 to stress out your family
00:32:43.380 to fatigue your supporters
00:32:44.960 I think
00:32:46.200 that they are turning
00:32:47.480 the process
00:32:48.180 into the punishment
00:32:49.200 66 days in prison
00:32:50.680 is a punishment too
00:32:51.600 but that's actually
00:32:52.840 a lot shorter
00:32:53.640 I mean you've been
00:32:55.120 fighting this stupid
00:32:57.400 contemned court thing
00:32:58.300 for 16 months
00:32:59.200 yeah that's
00:33:00.160 so yeah
00:33:01.960 even when
00:33:02.560 I think when I was in there
00:33:03.620 because I was getting anxious
00:33:05.440 and worrying
00:33:05.980 about coming out
00:33:06.780 because I'm generally
00:33:07.780 thinking what next
00:33:08.860 what next
00:33:10.180 because
00:33:10.920 what's coming next
00:33:13.700 you know what I mean
00:33:14.660 and I don't know
00:33:15.220 and essentially
00:33:16.160 I don't know
00:33:16.540 if I was worrying more
00:33:17.360 because I'm on isolation
00:33:18.180 and that makes you worry
00:33:19.920 or
00:33:20.920 or because I'm getting older
00:33:22.460 but I was thinking
00:33:23.080 Jesus man
00:33:23.980 what is coming next
00:33:26.060 from their point
00:33:27.180 what are they
00:33:28.780 going to do next
00:33:29.520 well let me ask you this
00:33:30.460 and again
00:33:30.800 if this is something
00:33:32.040 confidential
00:33:32.580 just say so
00:33:33.280 and I'll move on
00:33:34.080 before you went in
00:33:35.860 on an American TV show
00:33:37.360 Infowars
00:33:37.940 you said you were
00:33:39.600 interested in asylum
00:33:41.020 in America
00:33:41.640 and that was an
00:33:42.800 interesting talking point
00:33:43.820 but my point of view
00:33:45.020 is if you're interested
00:33:45.880 in asylum
00:33:46.420 apply for asylum
00:33:48.680 you can say
00:33:50.060 as for pass
00:33:50.660 if you don't want to
00:33:51.540 I am 100% interested
00:33:53.620 in my wife and children
00:33:55.180 being safe
00:33:56.800 in a foreign country
00:33:59.080 in the United States
00:33:59.700 of America
00:34:00.080 I love it
00:34:00.740 with regards to myself
00:34:02.360 there's a fight
00:34:04.280 going on in this country
00:34:05.200 and I want to be part of it
00:34:06.020 I can't imagine you
00:34:06.940 in any
00:34:07.260 I mean taking Tommy
00:34:08.320 out of the UK
00:34:09.000 it's like taking
00:34:10.120 de Gaulle out of France
00:34:12.360 there's no such thing
00:34:13.880 as de Gaulle
00:34:14.280 outside of France
00:34:14.960 I don't even know
00:34:15.600 if you could exist
00:34:16.200 outside the UK
00:34:16.980 so again
00:34:18.920 times change
00:34:20.180 and things change
00:34:21.000 and my worry again
00:34:23.720 was when I was in jail
00:34:24.560 that something could happen
00:34:25.420 to the house
00:34:26.060 or something
00:34:26.440 I don't
00:34:26.820 you know
00:34:27.020 I mean when I'm not there
00:34:27.920 so all of those things
00:34:29.900 play in
00:34:30.560 just about
00:34:31.560 was it easier
00:34:32.360 on your family this time
00:34:33.360 because they had
00:34:33.800 the phone calls
00:34:34.340 and the visits
00:34:34.840 it was easier on them
00:34:36.500 and we know
00:34:38.180 we have the support
00:34:38.900 so yeah
00:34:40.720 my son
00:34:41.440 I said my son
00:34:42.320 handled it a lot better
00:34:43.080 my youngest
00:34:45.060 didn't as much
00:34:46.660 but
00:34:46.980 yeah
00:34:48.280 I think
00:34:49.200 because we knew
00:34:49.900 it was happening
00:34:50.320 and I think
00:34:50.840 I don't know
00:34:51.220 if it's because
00:34:51.780 because I'm in jail
00:34:53.200 and I know
00:34:53.600 so when I was in prison
00:34:54.500 last time
00:34:54.860 I felt fine
00:34:55.420 when I was walking out
00:34:57.040 I thought it looked great
00:34:57.700 and then everyone was like
00:34:59.080 Jesus Christ
00:34:59.820 probably would say
00:35:00.480 but then I realised
00:35:02.460 I wasn't right
00:35:03.140 from that time in jail
00:35:04.940 so then I don't
00:35:05.580 I was shocked
00:35:06.160 when I saw you
00:35:06.760 I couldn't
00:35:07.180 I was
00:35:07.660 I didn't even want to tell you
00:35:08.820 what you looked like
00:35:09.460 don't worry
00:35:10.520 some of my family did
00:35:11.960 so then I thought
00:35:14.320 so then this time
00:35:16.180 I think
00:35:16.380 I was conscious
00:35:16.860 on the back of my head
00:35:17.500 as well
00:35:17.760 because then I think
00:35:18.320 oh this is going to happen again
00:35:20.180 and I'm sat here again
00:35:20.920 and then when I get out again
00:35:22.180 I'll have all the same problems
00:35:23.040 I had last time
00:35:23.620 alright now
00:35:24.840 we got you out of prison
00:35:27.040 in the morning
00:35:27.820 had a quick stop by McDonald's
00:35:30.820 I've been watching
00:35:31.900 Double Corp Animal Advertising TV
00:35:33.400 I know that they stopped them
00:35:34.780 on the 24th of September
00:35:35.840 so I was thinking
00:35:37.240 got you a haircut
00:35:39.660 you went home
00:35:40.260 had a shower etc
00:35:41.180 your kids
00:35:42.420 let's check the time
00:35:43.180 your kids are almost out of school
00:35:44.500 so I want to let you go
00:35:45.420 but there are two questions
00:35:47.220 I have for you
00:35:47.880 before we go
00:35:48.540 and maybe these are just
00:35:50.320 of interest to me
00:35:51.280 but I think some of your viewers
00:35:52.340 want to know too
00:35:53.060 we have a new prime minister
00:35:54.780 in the UK
00:35:55.340 who's a little bit eccentric
00:35:58.560 in some ways
00:35:59.480 who's a little bit
00:36:00.540 he has shown himself
00:36:02.260 to be a free speecher
00:36:03.300 in the past
00:36:04.080 do you have
00:36:05.900 I remember once
00:36:08.080 you wrote a great column
00:36:08.940 in the paper
00:36:09.520 in defense of gutter journalism
00:36:11.940 he says
00:36:12.360 gutter journalism
00:36:13.440 keeps the gutters clean
00:36:15.320 I remember
00:36:16.020 he said
00:36:17.520 I don't care how nasty it is
00:36:19.340 free speech
00:36:20.240 I was impressed with that
00:36:21.380 I don't know if he's that way today
00:36:22.580 what's your feelings about
00:36:24.300 Boris Johnson's government
00:36:25.680 Nigel Farage's influence
00:36:27.300 do you have any hope
00:36:28.640 that the essential
00:36:29.960 systemic problems
00:36:30.920 in the UK
00:36:31.340 will be fixed
00:36:32.600 or not even
00:36:33.500 the opportunity is there
00:36:35.240 hugely for Boris Johnson
00:36:36.420 I think his cabinet as well
00:36:37.880 I think Preet Patel
00:36:38.540 was brilliant
00:36:39.000 watched her for years
00:36:40.220 she's home secretary
00:36:41.220 I think they're dealing
00:36:43.260 with the problems
00:36:43.800 caused
00:36:44.100 I think the clear out
00:36:45.500 of the 21
00:36:46.020 the purging of the
00:36:47.000 people who are
00:36:48.520 Remainers
00:36:49.100 who aren't actually
00:36:50.180 conservative
00:36:50.720 in their views
00:36:51.720 in many ways
00:36:52.700 I don't know
00:36:54.580 you can be hopeful
00:36:55.420 but
00:36:55.720 they're not going to let him
00:36:57.100 are they
00:36:57.360 so the battle
00:36:58.000 that's commencing
00:36:58.960 is Boris Johnson
00:37:00.060 eating educated
00:37:01.880 representing the people
00:37:03.600 there is a
00:37:04.940 I don't know
00:37:05.720 I think he needs a pact
00:37:06.800 or should do a pact
00:37:07.720 with Nigel Farage
00:37:08.580 so that the Brexit party
00:37:10.080 target Labour
00:37:10.840 heartlands
00:37:11.400 that simply
00:37:12.380 the Tories can't go in
00:37:13.600 and get the votes
00:37:14.220 they've got the mining towns
00:37:15.500 where there's such a
00:37:17.000 disillusion
00:37:17.500 or such a resentment
00:37:18.360 against what is
00:37:19.540 the Tory party
00:37:20.360 the Brexit party
00:37:21.680 can generally fill that
00:37:22.940 but I don't know
00:37:23.920 again Nigel Farage
00:37:24.960 I think threw a lot of people
00:37:25.680 under the bus
00:37:26.180 but he has put pressure
00:37:27.120 it was the European result
00:37:29.020 so mate
00:37:29.660 you have to look at
00:37:30.600 where it's gone
00:37:31.480 it was probably the right move
00:37:32.700 in everything he's done as well
00:37:33.840 even when he slammed us
00:37:34.920 it probably has been
00:37:35.680 the right move
00:37:36.340 to put pressure
00:37:37.400 the Tory party
00:37:38.740 and Boris Johnson
00:37:40.420 realising as he's coming in
00:37:41.600 if he doesn't deliver on Brexit
00:37:42.880 he knows the Tory party
00:37:43.860 finished
00:37:44.260 if he doesn't deliver
00:37:45.820 but people don't want
00:37:47.960 Theresa May's deal
00:37:48.920 get rid of the backstop
00:37:50.980 that's not Brexit
00:37:51.760 so time will tell
00:37:53.540 but essentially
00:37:54.860 all of these things
00:37:56.760 it's interesting times
00:37:57.760 it's interesting
00:37:58.780 last question
00:37:59.600 earlier you mentioned
00:38:01.460 your identity as a journalist
00:38:03.100 it's R.D. Jarvid as well
00:38:03.960 I thought he's been great
00:38:04.740 when I've been watching him
00:38:06.680 I like your phrase
00:38:07.980 that you're a journalist
00:38:08.640 whether the media likes it or not
00:38:09.960 and it's true
00:38:10.440 journalism is an activity
00:38:11.720 it's not
00:38:12.800 like a DNA test
00:38:14.760 not just a journalist
00:38:15.480 but what they hate
00:38:16.140 is I'm the most watched journalist
00:38:17.800 in their country
00:38:18.480 even today
00:38:19.760 all those tabloids
00:38:21.240 they were there
00:38:21.740 because you get clicks
00:38:22.940 they say they hate you
00:38:24.900 but they actually love
00:38:25.920 talking about you
00:38:27.760 but they disparage you
00:38:28.820 it's strange
00:38:29.680 it's like Trump in a way
00:38:30.860 it's um
00:38:32.120 and the lies man
00:38:33.780 so essentially
00:38:34.660 I've got plans
00:38:35.540 I've got plans
00:38:36.200 I'm just going to
00:38:37.000 take my time
00:38:37.880 but I have got lots of plans
00:38:38.920 for documentaries
00:38:39.480 I want to make
00:38:40.040 and ideas I've had
00:38:41.000 whilst even sat in there
00:38:42.020 things I've been working on
00:38:43.560 with regards to confronting
00:38:46.100 their lives
00:38:46.640 can you give us some hints
00:38:49.140 I know you're talking about
00:38:51.140 the rape of Britain
00:38:51.520 so with the rape of Britain
00:38:52.620 just to get a few things
00:38:54.220 clear as well
00:38:55.200 before I went to prison
00:38:56.420 I showed a promo
00:38:57.780 for a documentary
00:38:58.440 called Shallow
00:38:59.120 Jesus Christ
00:39:00.800 the usual
00:39:01.480 the usual
00:39:02.320 the usual
00:39:03.620 old school BNP types
00:39:05.600 the usual people
00:39:06.580 who want to use
00:39:07.280 an excuse to attack
00:39:08.320 and I'm a Zionist
00:39:09.360 those usual
00:39:11.260 people
00:39:12.240 leapt on it
00:39:13.120 now
00:39:13.400 I was
00:39:14.800 I knew I was going to jail
00:39:16.000 I knew I was coming back to prison
00:39:17.620 I want to start working
00:39:19.400 on the rape of Britain
00:39:20.420 I want to do this
00:39:21.180 we've laid the foundations
00:39:23.220 but I want to
00:39:23.820 I also don't want to mess about
00:39:25.720 when I sit down
00:39:26.580 when I go to those cities
00:39:27.660 and start getting those young victims
00:39:29.000 to tell their stories
00:39:29.780 or their families
00:39:30.360 I know the consequence
00:39:31.100 that's going to bring
00:39:31.780 from Muslim gangs
00:39:32.680 and from the police
00:39:33.700 trying to shut it down
00:39:34.500 now if
00:39:35.180 so I know I'm going to jail
00:39:36.360 if I'd have gone up
00:39:36.880 and started those things
00:39:37.880 and then got sent to jail
00:39:38.980 for a year or two years
00:39:39.800 which I'm expecting
00:39:40.440 and leave those people in limbo
00:39:42.340 when I go and start that documentary
00:39:44.060 I will move into that city
00:39:45.140 for four weeks
00:39:45.720 and I will get every single
00:39:46.780 film on camera
00:39:47.360 so before I'm going to jail
00:39:48.580 I thought
00:39:48.800 I'm not going to disappear
00:39:50.080 and live in a different town
00:39:51.000 for four weeks
00:39:51.640 I'm going to be with my wife
00:39:52.760 and kids before I go to jail
00:39:53.620 I got told
00:39:54.960 as I told you
00:39:55.580 that my case would be adjourned
00:39:57.000 for pre-sentence reports
00:39:57.920 I had a six to eight week gap
00:40:00.120 where I thought
00:40:00.800 alright
00:40:01.280 I can fit in Shalom
00:40:02.420 Shalom was the documentary
00:40:04.180 which we tried to work
00:40:05.180 we were all trying to tell
00:40:06.760 but Kalim was
00:40:07.880 we had the fallout
00:40:09.540 with Kalim in that
00:40:10.220 they had
00:40:11.240 they had rights signed by
00:40:14.040 so people know
00:40:15.160 Yisrael Shalom
00:40:15.940 people think it's about Israel
00:40:17.580 and it's about
00:40:18.340 and the word Shalom
00:40:19.500 Yisrael Shalom
00:40:20.520 is the gentleman's name
00:40:21.600 he was a bloke
00:40:22.420 who had become a friend of mine
00:40:23.360 who was persecuted to death
00:40:24.440 I'm telling his story
00:40:25.800 so rather than just
00:40:27.860 sit at home for eight weeks
00:40:28.780 before going to prison
00:40:30.280 I thought
00:40:30.580 I can fit in
00:40:31.300 whilst seeing my family
00:40:32.740 I can fit in this documentary
00:40:33.840 so my idea was
00:40:34.620 to fit in this documentary
00:40:35.560 which we didn't get to fit in
00:40:36.660 because they sent me
00:40:37.160 straight to jail
00:40:37.680 and then
00:40:38.600 the rape of Britain
00:40:39.840 so even now
00:40:40.580 the rape of Britain
00:40:41.940 is going to be a risky documentary
00:40:42.940 to tell and show
00:40:44.040 because
00:40:44.420 I'm going to find
00:40:46.040 the groomers
00:40:47.220 I know who some of them are already
00:40:48.760 I know their businesses
00:40:49.520 I'm going to walk into their businesses
00:40:51.160 these sort of things
00:40:52.300 are going to cause destruction
00:40:53.500 probably attacks against me
00:40:54.900 so essentially now
00:40:56.200 and I need to move to the towns and cities
00:40:58.100 I'm coming out of jail now
00:40:59.300 I'm not about to move next week
00:41:00.780 to another town and city
00:41:01.500 and be away from my family
00:41:02.260 for weeks on end
00:41:02.920 so I'm going to put in my time period
00:41:04.800 for starting that documentary
00:41:05.800 I'm going to give myself
00:41:06.920 a little bit of time
00:41:07.580 that and I've got another documentary
00:41:10.360 which I can work on easily as well
00:41:12.580 but that's what I want to do
00:41:14.220 is just tell
00:41:14.800 tell the stories
00:41:16.280 that people aren't telling
00:41:17.060 uncover and embarrass
00:41:18.420 the people who deserve embarrassing
00:41:19.940 the people sitting
00:41:22.160 enjoying their pensions
00:41:23.100 who turned a blind eye
00:41:25.000 in a lab
00:41:25.380 the rape of our children
00:41:26.240 I think everyone in the country
00:41:27.420 needs to know their faces
00:41:28.340 they need to confront them
00:41:30.360 and when I say confront them
00:41:31.400 confront them with a camera
00:41:32.220 they need to be
00:41:32.940 putting the limelight
00:41:33.740 spotlight
00:41:34.040 I need to be on them
00:41:34.620 for a little while
00:41:35.100 that's what I want to do
00:41:37.420 that's what I'm going to do
00:41:38.560 but I just
00:41:39.340 essentially I need to
00:41:40.180 plan what I do
00:41:41.440 in my time
00:41:42.060 but that's
00:41:43.740 so yeah
00:41:44.280 well Tommy
00:41:45.600 your kids are almost
00:41:47.440 out of school
00:41:47.960 so I'll wrap up
00:41:48.940 but I recall
00:41:49.620 that it was exactly
00:41:50.780 in the same pub
00:41:51.820 that you and I met
00:41:53.080 and chatted
00:41:53.640 when you were released
00:41:54.780 out of Onley
00:41:55.500 the horrible prison
00:41:58.020 in which you were tortured
00:41:58.860 and I must say
00:42:00.040 that physically
00:42:00.860 psychologically
00:42:01.860 mentally
00:42:03.660 emotionally
00:42:04.180 you were so much better
00:42:05.600 now than
00:42:06.520 you were shell-shocked
00:42:07.540 back then
00:42:07.940 it was like a
00:42:08.620 it was like a detonation
00:42:10.560 went off next to your hand
00:42:11.280 I wasn't
00:42:11.720 I wasn't expecting
00:42:13.960 to get released
00:42:14.620 when I got released
00:42:15.400 right
00:42:15.740 so I wasn't expecting
00:42:16.700 to get released
00:42:17.220 this time as well
00:42:18.220 even this morning
00:42:18.800 I was quite emotional
00:42:19.460 this morning
00:42:19.900 but that's from being
00:42:21.160 looked up
00:42:21.540 it's not normal
00:42:23.040 so yeah
00:42:25.360 and even though
00:42:26.540 I wasn't excited
00:42:27.620 about getting out
00:42:28.200 which I should be sure
00:42:29.280 isn't that interesting
00:42:30.220 well Tommy
00:42:30.680 I want to let you know
00:42:31.560 because
00:42:32.000 it sounds like
00:42:33.500 you got a lot of mail
00:42:34.460 but we get an enormous
00:42:36.080 amount of email
00:42:36.880 and comments
00:42:37.760 on Twitter
00:42:38.420 and YouTube
00:42:38.920 and Facebook
00:42:39.580 and
00:42:40.720 I think you know it
00:42:42.400 but I'll just tell you
00:42:43.100 anyways
00:42:43.420 there are people
00:42:44.020 not just in the United Kingdom
00:42:45.160 but around the world
00:42:46.080 who follow your story
00:42:48.040 they feel like they have
00:42:49.540 a personal friendship
00:42:50.480 with you
00:42:51.100 and some of them do
00:42:52.260 it's not just more
00:42:52.940 journey
00:42:53.200 it's there
00:42:53.560 well and the issues
00:42:54.960 you talk about
00:42:55.720 are
00:42:57.000 so
00:42:58.540 they ring a bell
00:42:59.940 for so many people
00:43:01.020 and so a lot of people
00:43:02.300 I know if they could
00:43:03.640 speak through me here
00:43:04.520 they would say
00:43:04.980 please keep it up
00:43:05.960 please be smart
00:43:07.160 please be careful
00:43:08.600 please make good choices
00:43:09.700 but please keep fighting
00:43:11.520 because as I've said before
00:43:13.100 I believe that you're
00:43:13.960 the last lion
00:43:14.840 and
00:43:15.800 if they stop you
00:43:17.240 well then
00:43:18.100 who else could there
00:43:18.960 possibly be
00:43:19.640 so you've got to
00:43:20.300 keep doing it
00:43:20.940 keep doing it
00:43:22.220 again I was asked
00:43:23.040 that this morning
00:43:23.580 will you be back
00:43:24.800 because there's a documentary
00:43:26.060 being filmed
00:43:26.540 in Belmarsh Prison
00:43:27.360 will you be back
00:43:28.900 back in prison
00:43:29.780 is what they meant
00:43:30.260 will you be back
00:43:31.120 well let's do our best
00:43:32.140 to let that matter
00:43:32.820 let's do our best
00:43:33.920 I said the same answer
00:43:34.860 to him is
00:43:35.360 the minute you start
00:43:35.980 worrying about consequences
00:43:36.940 the minute you stop
00:43:37.580 doing what you do
00:43:38.160 now I'm going to
00:43:38.940 continue to do what I do
00:43:39.840 I don't intend to
00:43:40.400 break any doors
00:43:40.880 I'm not going to
00:43:41.300 break any doors
00:43:41.820 I will defend myself
00:43:43.200 I need to defend myself
00:43:43.980 at times
00:43:44.340 but
00:43:45.480 it's like
00:43:46.800 they
00:43:47.440 I'm going to continue
00:43:48.700 doing the work I do
00:43:49.480 I've seen how much
00:43:50.100 that's upset
00:43:50.540 and angered them already
00:43:51.380 so yeah
00:43:53.140 if I
00:43:54.160 I'll just say
00:43:54.760 I'm going to
00:43:56.120 people get a video
00:43:56.960 for me
00:43:57.400 in the next week
00:43:58.700 talking about
00:44:00.720 my experience as well
00:44:01.780 and about how grateful
00:44:02.380 I am
00:44:02.640 but to everyone
00:44:03.060 who wrote to me
00:44:03.580 everyone emailed to me
00:44:04.240 all the people
00:44:04.900 who spent their money
00:44:05.520 travelling
00:44:05.920 some of the distances
00:44:06.720 I'm reading your mails
00:44:07.580 I'm reading the mails
00:44:08.300 to some people
00:44:08.820 and they're telling me
00:44:09.260 the times they're getting
00:44:09.860 on mega buses
00:44:10.420 and their transport down
00:44:11.800 on their own
00:44:12.340 against their family's wishes
00:44:13.940 and then I'm reading
00:44:15.260 the full stories
00:44:16.100 and it was such
00:44:17.720 as I say
00:44:18.520 fulfilling
00:44:18.960 heartwarming
00:44:20.000 to read their journeys
00:44:21.620 that they've gone on
00:44:22.480 themselves
00:44:22.900 from being here
00:44:23.840 to waking up
00:44:24.640 to questioning
00:44:25.300 to falling out
00:44:26.400 with family
00:44:26.900 and I say the same thing
00:44:28.860 to all of them
00:44:29.400 I've been through
00:44:31.040 that same experience
00:44:32.060 and all the people
00:44:33.300 who have turned against you
00:44:34.380 or your friends
00:44:34.840 that might be disagreeing
00:44:35.760 with you
00:44:36.020 and not understanding
00:44:36.880 there will come a time
00:44:37.660 when they understand
00:44:38.260 and then they'll realise
00:44:39.900 that they're wrong
00:44:40.620 and you'll see
00:44:41.500 the same as I've seen
00:44:42.840 so yeah
00:44:43.260 I'm grateful
00:44:43.860 and as I said
00:44:44.500 I'm grateful to everyone
00:44:46.160 for the support
00:44:46.680 right on
00:44:47.420 well folks
00:44:48.420 I thank you for joining us
00:44:49.780 today
00:44:50.320 and I want to say
00:44:51.800 thanks to the folks
00:44:52.540 who have chipped in
00:44:53.780 for the crowdfunding
00:44:54.800 this is my third trip
00:44:56.880 over during the period
00:44:58.480 of your season
00:44:58.780 I want you air miles
00:44:59.560 yeah
00:44:59.760 that's right
00:45:00.840 and Jessica
00:45:02.140 the young reporter
00:45:03.020 who visited you
00:45:04.540 with a chaperone
00:45:05.420 I might add
00:45:06.080 because of the gossips
00:45:07.100 out there
00:45:07.400 we've set that straight
00:45:08.380 and I'm glad we did
00:45:09.600 because you say
00:45:11.400 that prison was exemplary
00:45:12.520 and I take your word for it
00:45:13.460 I said this morning
00:45:14.160 because they've done
00:45:14.860 this documentary
00:45:15.500 and they've finished
00:45:16.080 filming today
00:45:16.620 and I said
00:45:18.040 would I have been treated
00:45:20.200 fair
00:45:21.060 if your cameras weren't here
00:45:22.820 but then if I'm honest
00:45:25.140 I said that might be
00:45:25.880 a bit unfair
00:45:26.320 because after meeting
00:45:27.180 Rob Davis
00:45:28.260 who's the governor
00:45:29.160 and when I say meeting
00:45:30.280 in this unit
00:45:31.760 that I'm on
00:45:32.260 every single day
00:45:33.520 someone has to come
00:45:34.560 from healthcare
00:45:35.360 someone has to come
00:45:36.600 because you're in isolation
00:45:37.380 someone has to come
00:45:38.280 a governor has to come
00:45:39.320 whether it be duty governor
00:45:40.520 but they have to come
00:45:41.200 and say
00:45:41.440 are you okay
00:45:42.120 yeah
00:45:42.760 now I'd say that
00:45:44.500 it'd be unfair
00:45:45.580 saying that
00:45:46.060 I think that
00:45:46.440 after meeting him
00:45:47.560 no matter what
00:45:48.160 he'd have treated me
00:45:48.720 in the same way
00:45:49.180 I've been treated
00:45:49.660 he's a completely
00:45:50.220 fair bloke
00:45:50.720 and he's doing a good job
00:45:51.400 and a difficult job
00:45:52.080 and
00:45:52.780 well I hope so
00:45:54.400 but I agree with your
00:45:55.960 assessable
00:45:56.800 we'll never know
00:45:57.440 you wouldn't know
00:45:58.660 but this is the first time
00:45:59.920 this is the first time
00:46:00.780 they've treated me
00:46:01.320 first time I've been
00:46:02.260 taken to the gym
00:46:02.840 first time
00:46:03.680 I think that
00:46:04.420 this other British journalist
00:46:05.680 him being there
00:46:06.720 was important
00:46:07.300 I think
00:46:08.200 the four rebel visits
00:46:09.840 we'll never know
00:46:10.980 what it would have been like
00:46:11.800 and I enjoyed visiting you
00:46:14.080 no
00:46:14.380 well it got me
00:46:15.300 I said
00:46:16.100 so my day
00:46:16.840 my day is 11.15
00:46:18.340 locked up
00:46:18.960 yeah
00:46:19.140 and then until the next morning
00:46:21.020 at 9 o'clock
00:46:21.620 that's a long day
00:46:22.700 it's a long day
00:46:23.500 no matter what
00:46:24.080 it's a long day
00:46:24.980 so
00:46:25.720 I said
00:46:26.300 on that shit blue map
00:46:28.120 you see them
00:46:28.600 I said blue map
00:46:29.740 so I was about 22 hours a day
00:46:31.240 sitting on that map
00:46:31.940 but
00:46:32.660 so when you come
00:46:33.860 when you have a visit
00:46:35.040 when I have a visit
00:46:35.620 at 2 o'clock
00:46:36.280 that's completely
00:46:37.100 it weren't like a day
00:46:38.340 it weren't
00:46:38.920 for me that day's done
00:46:39.980 because then I think
00:46:40.740 they lock the door up
00:46:41.500 at 4 past 11
00:46:42.160 they're opening it again
00:46:43.200 at 2 o'clock
00:46:43.720 then they bang it back up
00:46:44.640 at 4
00:46:45.000 and then Francis on
00:46:46.420 we had a range of visitors
00:46:47.580 I was glad to be one
00:46:48.600 and
00:46:48.980 and in one of my visits
00:46:50.340 it was
00:46:50.660 your old friends
00:46:51.600 from way back in the day
00:46:52.520 and to see you just banter
00:46:53.900 and have that laugh
00:46:55.160 it took you
00:46:55.840 it probably took you
00:46:56.580 half an hour
00:46:57.000 just to get into
00:46:57.980 the conversational groove again
00:47:00.100 because you can't live
00:47:01.180 in silence
00:47:01.780 and then just become
00:47:02.640 social immediately
00:47:03.460 I was
00:47:04.200 that's what made me
00:47:05.080 the happiest
00:47:05.580 is it took like
00:47:06.720 a half hour
00:47:07.420 an hour for you
00:47:07.980 to normalize again
00:47:09.540 but
00:47:09.740 and the jokes
00:47:11.060 which is you know
00:47:11.800 the tiring of that
00:47:12.560 when my kids come in
00:47:13.920 I felt exhausted
00:47:15.280 after a visit
00:47:15.800 because I want them
00:47:16.420 to see me in the best
00:47:17.520 like that nothing's
00:47:18.480 going wrong
00:47:18.980 yeah so
00:47:20.100 but yeah
00:47:21.160 my mates I said
00:47:22.220 I don't know
00:47:23.040 if I said that
00:47:23.380 I was going to buy
00:47:24.900 the Muslim gown
00:47:25.700 I was going to do it
00:47:26.640 I knew yeah
00:47:27.040 and come walking
00:47:27.820 into a visit
00:47:28.380 I was going to do it
00:47:30.740 coming out of jail
00:47:31.300 because you can buy
00:47:32.280 22 pound it was
00:47:33.100 in the canteen

00:47:42.060 Tommy has another trial
00:47:43.640 I don't think it's a secret
00:47:45.580 I think I can mention
00:47:46.180 no it's not a secret
00:47:46.740 I was going to do
