The battle between Elon Musk and the Labour Party in the UK is just amazing. I have a friend who works in the House of Lords at the Palace of Westminster in Parliament, and he s got an interesting eye view on this. He works for a UKIP peer. I ll explain what all that means if you don t understand it.
00:03:08.560We had a beach, Juneau Beach, right next to the big boys on D-Day.
00:03:13.620And I think we punch above our way, to use a phrase.
00:03:16.940I think that when Justin Trudeau announced his intentions to resign, a very interesting observation I saw was not a single G7 world leader even mentioned it.
00:03:28.540It was just like an empty cab pulled up on Parliament Hill, and Justin Trudeau got out.
00:03:40.780We love Canada, and so we understand the gentle ribbing of Donald Trump, but we want to remain independent.
00:03:46.640That said, we care about the world because we see the same themes here at home in Canada, around the world, sometimes further down the path.
00:03:54.760And you know that I travel to the United Kingdom, and you know that I call it my dystopian time machine, that if I visit there, I feel like I'm five years into the future, further down the road on mass immigration.
00:04:05.860We haven't talked a lot about what they call ultra-low emission zones, or ULEZ, and they have these spy cameras, CCTV cameras, checking who's driving on a street at a certain time.
00:04:18.060And you get a ticket or a fine if you're not allowed to be there.
00:04:21.840That's the 15-minute cities going down that road.
00:04:26.460So I go to the United Kingdom, and I report on stories like Tommy Robinson, who's in jail right now, for violating a court order not to publish a video.
00:04:34.660Well, that's a form, a very draconian form of censorship, the lads in solitary confinement.
00:04:40.080And so I go to the United Kingdom because I love it, because I love the people, and I love the history, and I love the language.
00:06:42.540Lord Pearson was one of Margaret Thatcher's last appointees in the House of Lords before she was stabbed in the back and removed as leader.
00:06:50.960So Lord Pearson went in as a Conservative.
00:06:52.860And then at the misfortune of reading, it was one of the European treaties, and said, why is no one reading this?
00:07:00.320This is passing over power to another entity.
00:07:03.160So he highlighted that, was one of the original Eurosceptic rebels, the original Brexit rebels, and for basically standing up to that and talking about this new little party that we're starting called UKIP, United Kingdom Independence Party, headed up by Nigel Farage.
00:07:21.140He highlighted the good things they were doing, and because of that, he was thrown out of the Conservative Party.
00:07:28.840He was UKIP leader in 2009, 2010, as being one of the most original Maastricht rebels, original Brexit rebels, and now is the only one in the House of Lords, maybe bar Baroness Cox, who speaks on Islam and the clash of Islam between the freedoms we have in the West.
00:07:46.800And he's done that for 10 years, and he is a lone voice in the House of Lords.
00:08:15.880It wasn't just a, as we say in canon about our Senate, you know, you've heard the phrase a thankless task.
00:08:21.560We call the Senate here a taskless thanks.
00:08:24.840I think Lord Pearson takes his seat there very seriously, and I want to show you, before I go further, I had the pleasure of interviewing him a few years ago.
00:08:34.180Let me just show you a quick clip of me talking to Lord Pearson about what it's like being a maverick,
00:08:38.940and then I'm going to throw to a very important speech he gave in the House of Lords that was recently retweeted by Elon Musk that millions of people saw.
00:08:48.000But here's when I first met Lord Pearson.
00:09:03.380What was so interesting to me is that you're a peer.
00:09:06.860You're a member of the House of Lords, and yet you are friends with someone that someone would say is on the opposite end of the spectrum from you in many walks of life.
00:09:23.900I was asking one of my questions in the Lords, really trying to talk about Islam.
00:09:29.620And I was trying to find out, ask publicly, whether to talk about Islam, to try and understand Islam, the tenets of Islam and all that, constituted hate speech.
00:09:45.280And Tommy heard about this, and so he decided to come and listen.
00:09:50.000And he was supposed to go into the public gallery, as I understood it.
00:09:53.480But, of course, he met up with some of my friends.
00:09:55.760And before we knew where we were, he was in the Distinguished Visitors Gallery in the front row in front of the Liberal Democrat Party, who all got extremely jumpy about the whole thing.
00:10:06.280And then I had such a rough ride in that particular question, which I think has gone on YouTube and that sort of thing, that when Tommy came to him, I said, I'd like to interview him.
00:10:15.860I said, yes, Tommy, come on, let's do an interview.
00:10:17.480So we went and did an interview together, which isn't very good, but it's got some good parts in it.
00:10:22.540And I met him, and I met a most remarkable man.
00:10:26.800I met someone who's not at all what the mainstream media and the idiotic political establishment would have you believe.
00:10:37.760Just his personality alone makes me want to be his friend.
00:10:41.180I am so grateful he's there in the House of Lords.
00:10:43.820But to be serious for a moment, here is an astonishingly bold and clear and fair speech that he gave in the House of Lords that Elon Musk recently discovered this video and retweeted.
00:10:56.420I would accept that if we extrapolate nationally the Jay report on Rotherham and other reports on Telford and Oxford, there appear to have been upwards of 250,000 young white girls raped in this century, very largely by Muslim men.
00:11:15.480And given these girls are usually raped several times a day for years, so, my Lords, what is the Government's answer to the Chief Constable of Northumberland, of Northumbria, who has just said that there is every likelihood that these grooming gangs are operating in every one of our major cities?
00:11:36.140So, my Lords, what is the Government doing to prosecute those in authority who turned a blind eye to all this because they were afraid of being Islamophobic and so on?
00:11:47.840And what is it doing to compensate and help these victims mentally?
00:11:56.020My Lords, I really refute the fact that the Government is turning a blind eye to those in authority.
00:12:03.400Sorry that those in authority are turning a blind eye to this.
00:12:07.020Noble Lords from across the House have outlined the various child sexual abuse perpetrations in various parts of the country.
00:12:17.940And, my Lords, one thing we can say above all else is what these people target is vulnerability.
00:12:25.380It's not specific to race, creed, or colour. It's vulnerability.
00:12:29.300Now, Peter, that video of that speech was a few years ago, but something amazing has been happening in the UK over the last seven days.
00:12:36.880I'm not sure what sparked it, but Elon Musk, the world's richest man, the owner of X, formerly Twitter, and the most followed man on Twitter with more than 200 million followers, has taken a very intense interest in the UK, especially around the issue of what is euphemistically called grooming gangs.
00:12:57.400I don't like that because it really is a euphemism. It hides the atrocious reality.
00:13:04.260These are serial rape gangs that rape girls night after night.
00:13:08.660They extort and blackmail. And they're girls. They're not women.
00:13:13.040They're as young as 9 or 10 or 11 years old.
00:13:17.340Elon Musk has taken a passionate interest in this outrage, this scandal.
00:14:09.240This caused, as you can imagine, a lot of ructions in the UK political system, the UK media system, the UK establishment that were in sheer panic at Elon Musk mentioning the name of the person who cannot be named, Tommy Robinson.
00:14:30.140And then it started that Elon Musk started highlighting the failure of the grooming gangs.
00:14:35.600I think partially this came from Oldham Council, a council in the middle of England.
00:14:42.060The council officials had called for an investigation into grooming gangs in Oldham, which is Muslim Pakistani rape gangs that have happened since 1975, was a rather madvertiser first post.
00:14:55.220So we're looking at 50-plus years in the UK.
00:14:58.880And Elon Musk had highlighted this failure of the government to have an independent inquiry into this area in Oldham, called by the council.
00:15:09.100I think that was possibly the lightning rod.
00:15:11.660Now, Tommy has done Raid for Britain series.
00:15:14.360He's up to about number five, highlighting this injustice and making this a personal issue.
00:15:19.820Talking to the girls who face this issue, not just the numbers, which Noor Pierce talked about, Gore Vermillion, Sarah Champion, the MP for one of those areas, has talked about up to a million girls have been affected.
00:15:33.540This is industrial scale sexual abuse of white girls across the country by Muslim Pakistani men.
00:15:41.080And therefore, the police, local authority, child services have all turned a blind eye to this for fear of a race riot.
00:15:50.020That's the term that's being used by a number of officials.
00:15:53.260Elon, of course, doesn't really give a damn about any of that.
00:15:58.940Listen, we have, I know that whenever we started Hearts of Oak in 2020, we wanted to highlight this in our first petition, which got 100,000 within three days.
00:16:08.880We had a government debate on the deportation of a lot of these evil individuals.
00:16:14.620If they had dual nationalities, they should be deported.
00:16:17.060The government, of course, ignored that.
00:16:18.620We also had a petition to call for the release of a government report on this.
00:16:25.260The government had failed to release that.
00:16:27.000We were able to force that to be put out in December 2020.
00:16:31.840And, of course, Lord Pearson has been talking about this since 2018.
00:16:34.600He's been highlighting the issue of Islam, the incompatibility of Islam and the freedoms we have in the West, especially look at the freedoms of women, the freedoms of those who are non-Muslim.
00:16:46.060And he's talked about that since 2015 at least and grooming gang since 2018.
00:16:52.320And it's that speech that he talked about quarter of a million girls have been affected by this and millions and millions of rips.
00:17:00.920And you look at the stories, you talk to these girls.
00:17:03.300I've talked to quite a number of them and it is harrowing.
00:17:06.920And Lord Pearson seems to be the only one, really apart from Baroness Cox, who stood up in the House of Lords and has highlighted this.
00:17:15.060And because he has highlighted that he has been attacked, he has been criticized in the media, in politics, they have tried to eject him from the House of Lords for linking what is happening in these rape gangs to Islam.
00:17:39.840And Elon Musk in the last six days has actually shown a bigger spotlight on this than we've been able to do since 2012 from when this was on the front page of the Times.
