Tonight, a feature interview with Tommy Robinson.
00:00:02.820
I sit down with him hours after he's released by police.
00:00:06.660
It's August 5th, and this is the Ezra Levant Show.
00:00:23.740
Oh, hi everybody. As you can see, I'm in the United Kingdom again.
00:00:30.000
But I just had to come over here because crazy things were afoot.
00:00:33.260
As you may know, Tommy Robinson was walking through St. Pancras train station.
00:00:46.720
And finally, Tommy acted in self-defense and down went the man.
00:00:50.720
Hit the ground hard, actually wound up in the hospital.
00:00:53.640
Here's some footage of it moments after it happened.
00:01:12.400
Tommy's got a liaison officer in the Met Police.
00:01:19.620
The next morning at 6 a.m., Tommy's lawyer called.
00:01:22.080
They didn't make any requests or demands of him.
00:01:24.540
So he just went about his business, knowing that it was in self-defense.
00:01:29.420
But he made his foreign business trip end early so he could come home, present himself to police
00:01:39.380
In fact, they kept him until 1 a.m., but they viewed the surveillance tape in the train station together,
00:01:48.600
So luckily, what a relief, no prosecution so far.
00:01:54.280
I came to London thinking that there would be a bail hearing today.
00:01:59.320
There was one more thing Tommy said to me last night, that when he was done with those police at 1 a.m.,
00:02:04.760
for two more hours, police from the Met Police, that's the London City Police,
00:02:10.220
grilled him about three tweets, three posts on X that he made that violate the Online Safety Act.
00:02:19.700
You really got to watch that part of the interview.
00:02:21.840
It's at the end, but it, frankly, is more riveting than the first part.
00:02:25.380
These are three tweets that are, you know, politically spicy, sure, but nothing out of the ordinary.
00:02:30.820
Things that, you know, I think millions of people would just click, retweet or repost on.
00:02:37.820
One of them, in fact, was just text taken from a large newspaper in town here called the Daily Mail.
00:02:43.620
But the police said to Tommy, well, they have a journalism license, and you don't.
00:02:56.120
That's why I keep coming here and to Ireland, because there is a battle on for your mind, as Infowars says.
00:03:03.040
The censorship in this country is extreme, because it's intended to cover up reporting on another extreme thing, namely mass immigration.
00:03:12.020
Anyways, without further ado, here is my feature interview with Tommy Robinson.
00:03:26.180
So that, if that, like, yeah, I don't know what to do, man.
00:03:29.920
But I just want a plan for United Kingdom, September 13th.
00:03:38.360
I was arrested for other charges yesterday by the Mets.
00:03:43.760
Arrested, under caution, questioned about three tweets.
00:03:53.260
At about 1 a.m. last night, we got the good news.
00:03:56.840
He will not be detained by police in regards to an incident at St. Pancras train station a week ago.
00:04:03.900
Tommy, first of all, it is so good to see you free and in your natural habitat.
00:04:10.340
I'll probably say it's the worst week of my life.
00:04:12.740
Because I looked at the charge that they said they were detaining me under, Section 18, with intent.
00:04:30.900
But I also want to let viewers know that you are under a couple of conditions.
00:04:42.040
Not to identify witnesses or any information about witnesses and not to travel on the London
00:04:52.980
Because a clip of just after what happened went viral.
00:05:19.580
that a lot had happened before that so even there's some witnesses that only witnessed that
00:05:24.140
bit at the top of the top of the escalators but what you don't witness which i can now sit and
00:05:27.980
relax because i was concerned the police would not not get the footage and all there would be
00:05:32.940
is a couple of witness accounts that could be questionable the footage might go missing
00:05:39.100
that's what i was expecting so when i was away i was worried and when the more i read the more
00:05:44.940
i got worried but then when i've landed i've i've gone and met the police and i've looked at the
00:05:50.060
footage yesterday and the footage shows exactly what happened it shows me obviously i've been in
00:05:54.060
london all day unfortunately for me i don't have paid security yeah i don't have a monetized account
00:05:59.020
so some youtubers do so i don't have paid security i go everywhere on my own ezra if i'm in london i'm
00:06:04.780
on my own if i'm in london i'm on my own if i'm in manchester but you're very recognizable a lot
00:06:08.940
of people like you a lot of people hate you yeah yeah that's the problem it's like it's a hundred
00:06:12.460
handshakes and then one person would want to have a punch yeah one person so i lived that life anyway
00:06:16.700
but i've lived that life for 15 years yeah i shouldn't have to live that life but when i've
00:06:20.620
walked through the train station and anyone who's followed me that day i've put quite a few videos
00:06:23.900
up of muslims coming up to me being lovely every everyone was super nice all day i was all around
00:06:28.700
london and they get one negative word everything was positive and as i've come through the train
00:06:32.540
station little which i've now seen the footage so i come through a gentleman comes off of the train
00:06:37.340
and and just i don't blame this gentleman yeah i don't blame him because people who dislike me when
00:06:43.420
i actually get talking to them they dislike me because they believe i'm satan because the media
00:06:47.020
have told them i'm saying yeah the media have told them i'm this big scary figure i'm a racist i'm
00:06:51.900
extremist all these things i'm not yeah so he's he comes off the train so he should be walking out
00:06:56.940
some pancreas as i'm walking in but then he sees me and he makes a beeline straight at me and then he
00:07:02.860
literally he comes here he threatens me he threatens me with my life he and i try and when you watch the
00:07:09.980
footage which i couldn't remember so watching the footage was great yesterday because it just proves
00:07:14.220
everything he comes at me he doesn't let me go i try and get around him he stops me getting around him
00:07:19.420
i try and walk away you can see he's here he's in my face he's abusing me he's threatening me he's
00:07:24.700
harassing me i walk away he comes after me this goes on for a whole stretch it goes on for a whole
00:07:31.100
stretch so you're retreating and he's advancing i'm retreating he's about what's he saying what
00:07:35.340
are you saying i'm telling him to leave me alone i'm telling him to get out of my space i'm telling
00:07:38.380
him to stand back because what i what i know he was doing as i was watching him i thought he's
00:07:42.060
trying to get close enough to deep for me to have my guard down so he can catch me that's the
00:07:46.940
whole time i was watching so i'm constantly watching like that saying mate stand back don't
00:07:51.100
get don't get close enough to me because i was worried he's going to hit me yeah the whole time
00:07:55.660
he said he could end me um kept going about how little i was quite funny um so just giving me
00:08:02.380
constant abuse and threats and i'm trying to get away and i'm pushing and i'm going backwards and
00:08:06.620
then and then i turn to walk off and then he comes after me again and when we get to the top of
00:08:10.860
the escalators we get to the top of escalators this has already gone for a minute and a half
00:08:15.100
were people what were other people doing were they watching it wasn't really not through the
00:08:19.260
underpass which is all on camera though there wasn't really anyone else there so it's just me
00:08:23.420
and him but he's he's in he's on the e30 at night kind of thing yeah 9 30 at night and then we get
00:08:28.140
to the top of the escalators so i'm in front of him so i should go down the escalators i think i
00:08:31.740
can't go down the escalators he's gonna boot me down the escalator he's gonna boot me from behind
00:08:35.180
so i then stop and step out of the way and i move to my side and to let him go down the escalators
00:08:40.780
he doesn't go down the escalators he then turns um there's a few words between us he then comes at me
00:08:46.700
which is at the point i said i don't just go around ezra don't go around punching people
00:08:51.180
you'll be crazy if you tried yeah you're one guy in a in a city of millions and i just don't anyway
00:08:56.300
yeah i i i take a lot of style i take a lot of from people yeah i beat them with my mouth
00:09:01.340
yeah i beat them with my mouth and i beat them with fans and like you say they don't know you they know
00:09:05.820
the caricature of you that the mainstream media has propagandized i've seen you turn people around
00:09:11.660
because they have simply no other source of information and there's no debate on and we're right on what
00:09:15.660
we say so when i but i didn't get he was drunk as well he admitted being drunk he was drunk it's a
00:09:19.980
weird thing that he said like he said that to you in the front car no i'm drunk it's weird yeah that's
00:09:25.900
weird because that was when he got aggressive and then i was telling him to stand back or
00:09:29.660
or i'll defend myself i just kept saying mate i'm going to defend myself in a minute yeah i don't want
00:09:33.020
to stand back yeah i kept saying it i must have told him 10 times leave me alone man yeah and then he
00:09:39.660
comes after me at the top of the stairs he then comes at me now he's not a small bloke yeah he's not a
00:09:44.140
small bloke he's probably 18 stone and then at that point of him coming back at me which is what i was
00:09:49.500
waiting to see on the footage that point will come at me even then i go backwards even though i go
00:09:53.100
backwards but i do defend myself yeah i do defend myself now in defending myself he has unfortunately
00:09:58.460
took a quite serious injury yeah which again i wish him luck for i don't want any negative for him
00:10:03.500
i want him to have a full recovery but if you chase people you harass them you threaten them you leave
00:10:09.980
them in a corner with no option when you're coming to he come at me to violently attack me yeah on
00:10:14.140
camera he's coming at me he's running at me i saw the lies start within minutes of that viral clip people
00:10:20.940
were saying that it was an attack by you as opposed to self-defense you had a pre-existing business trip
00:10:27.580
abroad the newspaper said you absconded as if you were fleeing play the recording i sent you the
00:10:33.820
voice and i was sent to the copper dinner yeah so so so the minute this happened i think we have a
00:10:38.460
liaison officer at scotland yard who we deal with up for our demonstrations do you want me to do you
00:10:42.140
want us to play that all right here's the so tommy sent a voice note to the metropolitan police
00:10:48.140
immediately afterwards here's a copy of that clip take a listen wayne it's tommy mate how are you
00:10:55.740
so i was on the way to get my train home and i've had some lads come up starting at me squaring up to
00:11:01.820
me with his clenched fist i've stood away told him i off told him multiple times just off he's
00:11:08.060
carried on walking carried on chatting i've got to the top of the stairs and i've called him a
00:11:12.940
fat and then he's turned around he's gone yeah you want to try me clenching his fists turn around
00:11:18.620
i'm not i can't wait for him to knock me out yeah he's a big old fat fella so i've defended myself
00:11:24.700
and then he's come at me again but he's ended up on it asleep on the floor now i was worried about
00:11:31.020
i'm worried about him um i didn't have any other situation i couldn't there's nothing else i could
00:11:35.580
have done yeah other than wait to get knocked down but i i don't know he's all right i couldn't wait
00:11:41.260

i don't know what else to do right yeah all right so so you weren't hiding you weren't running you got
00:12:19.100
out of there because you know if i would have stayed there if i would have stayed there at the moment
00:12:22.460
there would have been a swarm crowds would have gathered there would have been a swarm i'm in
00:12:25.260
london underground lots of people don't like me there'd be young young muslim gangs it's like it's
00:12:30.620
a recipe for disaster it's a lawless place for the best it's a lawless city everyone's getting stabbed
00:12:34.940

00:12:45.900
biggest event about the september 13th the biggest event the country's ever seen we're planning it
00:12:50.540
so i spent the whole day in london planning it and then i then went to brian rose to do a podcast
00:12:55.580
so i and i was in good nature all day i was in good nature and then this happens top of the stairs
00:13:01.580
so when i've seen him at the floor there's no benefit in me being there there's already people
00:13:06.300
with him yeah so i contact the police say this has happened wayne look i'm worried for him yeah but
00:13:11.500
i've been put in a position here yeah and i said whatever you want me to do let me know and i'll do it
00:13:16.060
now i had for the media yeah i had pre-planned dates i had arrangements i can i've shown this
00:13:23.260
all to the police i said look that's when it was booked three weeks ago there's the accommodation
00:13:27.260
booked there's the rental car booked mate it's like and and the first thing i've done so six
00:13:31.580
o'clock in the morning that officer comes back to me with a british transport police officer at 9 30
00:13:35.900
the next day yeah this is who you need to speak to but by that point my solicitor at six in the morning
00:13:40.860
had already contacted the police and said look steve wants to cooperate fully what do you need to do
00:13:45.180
yeah when do you want to talk to him yeah and they said where where is he she said he's here he's in
00:13:49.420
tenerife yeah he's back on a flight into manchester monday night and they said okay can he come back
00:13:54.620
not via manchester will he come back into london yeah so she said yeah i'll speak to him now so i
00:13:59.020
changed my flight i flew back into i arranged i told the police here's the flight i'm on here's when i'm
00:14:04.860
coming back i'm ready for interview and then i get to the plane it's like the army come but police cars
00:14:10.300
everywhere and i'm thinking when i come i said to you if you came over in a dinghy from france
00:14:16.860
you want to be welcome right then and you'd be in a four-star hotel but the bearing in mind the
00:14:21.100
police know i've contacted them bearing in mind police know i was on a pre-com that i wasn't on
00:14:25.020
the run they know i've come back purposely to meet them and then but the police officers didn't know
00:14:29.100
that so when the police officers come off the plane i said to the air hostesses look i need to get out
00:14:32.060
there they're for me i said they're definitely going to be for me and they're like what i said f me and
00:14:36.940
there's playing full of people and there's like it's like there's a meat wagon cars blue lights
00:14:41.500
there was lots of excitement people were filming from the police officers and then i went down i
00:14:45.180
said all right and they said oh um but you didn't expect us i said i'm the one that's told you i'm on
00:14:51.180
this flight what are you talking about yeah i've contacted you but they're bosses yeah so my solicitors
00:14:56.540
contact their bosses they've just been a squad to go get tom robson he's come off this plane the
00:15:00.620
police were lovely listen all the police are talking about september 13th all the police officers every
00:15:05.820
piece of site rank and file police if if they're if the brass aren't watching them are they're with
00:15:10.380
us most of them not all but most so let me just sum up as soon as this thing went down you saw that
00:15:16.540
local security were on the scene so the man's safety health was already in the hands of authorities
00:15:21.740
you immediately left that voice message for your police liaison 6 a.m the next day your lawyer phones
00:15:27.260
the police in an authoritative way and say what do you need what you need at no time did they say
00:15:31.980
tommy robinson do not leave the country no no time did they say come back today we said i'm back on
00:15:36.620
monday and then you rearrange to come back earlier in to london to make it more convenient i made it
00:15:41.500
more convenient i'm going to be in budapest today yeah we're praying to you yeah i'm going to be in
00:15:45.180
budapest for work yeah so i changed my things come back come back because to be honest it was driving
00:15:51.580
me insane yeah i was worried well it's a hell of a you could spend a lot of time in prison well i don't
00:15:57.260
i thought i thought they're just going to remind me i'm watching what the media are saying you know the
00:15:59.820
media were tracking down and not the media were knocking on innocent families doors in tenerife
00:16:03.820
taking pictures of them putting them in the paper there's a madness to me you know what it's
00:16:08.460
they would say someone who knew me five years ago they went and knocked on his door and as he
00:16:11.900
starts the door they've got a long lens camera and they put a big big picture of him in the paper
00:16:16.140
this man called barry and they're saying tommy's hideaway it's like i haven't spoke to barry for five
00:16:21.180
years god you know if only they would take this interest in those boats coming across the channel
00:16:25.260
in real criminals yeah unreal 940 000 crimes reported to police in london last year that's
00:16:31.420
almost a million crimes and i think a lot of crimes go unreported right 16 officers come to get me off
00:16:36.300
my airplane yeah well 16 officers i guess they had nothing more important to do so you turned yourself
00:16:40.620
in your lawyer was there everything turns on that surveillance camera you can have more cameras
00:16:46.380
everything's on the footage yeah the footage clearly shows i was confronted time and time again i was
00:16:52.140
accosted i tried to get away i didn't i wasn't the aggressor i'm trying to get away from the
00:16:57.740
situation so you were in the room watching it with your lawyer and the cops just went on that oh and
00:17:03.100
the two people who was in the room me me the lawyer the two coppers two couples are very nice and the
00:17:07.340
cops had seen this footage before they've seen the footage they're interviewing me on it they've
00:17:10.860
obviously got seven witness statements but the witness statements don't see the two minutes before
00:17:15.100
i've traveled around the uk with you a little bit and i know that you don't move without your phone in
00:17:19.020
your hand because things can go sideways quickly and if you don't have a recording of it who will
00:17:24.780
and and i i think that i don't know there is a recording i don't know look that recording if it
00:17:31.820
needs to come out it will come out uh but it was better to let the let's see what the witnesses say
00:17:37.740
you're right and let's see what they say you're right if they want to take me to trial take me to
00:17:41.980
trial we'll have fun in trial look the fact that you were let go last night without any charges against you
00:17:48.060
again with the most minimal conditions if i if i had absconded like the media have told you yeah yeah
00:17:53.020
the media said i went on the run if i'd gone on the run i wouldn't have my passport now yeah i won't
00:17:57.020
be able to leave the country right now yeah it's just it's ridiculous and i'm glad the police saw it
00:18:01.340
for i'm glad it wasn't the police pushing that narrative it was the media and i'm glad that the
00:18:06.460
police officers who interviewed me seemed very fair obviously look i don't that doesn't mean they're not
00:18:11.420
going to charge me yeah i don't believe there's even a complainant in the case isn't that interesting
00:18:16.300
so the man who made assaulted you you defended he went down hard he's out of the hospital now and
00:18:22.540
you're saying that as far as you know he has not actually complained to the police that's very
00:18:28.060
interesting and it suggests that maybe he doesn't want to be inspected too closely if he watches the
00:18:33.100
video in fact if anyone should be prosecuted here it should be him well that's in a fantasy london
00:18:40.140
alternative reality where criminals are head to account he'll probably get some knighthood along
00:18:45.020
with sodic camp um well listen i'm so i i came over because i thought you were going to be in court
00:18:50.460
today with a lawyer trying to get what do you know the lawyer so i sat down my case i sat down with
00:18:54.860
we we was on the phone to the king's council the whole time in our interview so we had this is the
00:18:59.260
sad thing about this state of affairs yeah we had to prepare an entire defense a bail hearing we had
00:19:05.100
we had already prepared over the last four days for our bail application to try and get me back out of
00:19:10.860
jail i thought i was in jail when i landed i thought i'm gone for years here and i was sitting there
00:19:14.940
thinking i'm gonna be on solitary for years oh my god for defending myself and now i've come to
00:19:19.740
realization i can't walk around on my own i can't do it well because i can't face that same week i've
00:19:24.220
just had let me say this first of all the fact that you've come to that realization without a
00:19:28.380
disaster happening to you is actually a good thing better you you realize that now that in some terrible
00:19:35.260
case where you're actually let's say not one guy maybe five maybe six guys jump in yeah it's a sad
00:19:40.620
state of affairs in london but that's how it is also if the cops released you last night
00:19:46.780
because of the power of this surveillance video i i mean listen release the footage i think so and
00:19:53.340
i think the footage i think that the public may let the public see it and let the public decide what
00:19:57.820
they would have done you know they're really funny in the uk about releasing surveillance footage there
00:20:01.980
were a couple of pakistani lads in manchester who just beat up some cops including a female cop they
00:20:07.740
were hiding the footage in order to let the pakistan that's off and here i wonder they don't
00:20:15.020
want you to look sympathetic they don't want you to be corroborated that you were in defensive mode
00:20:20.700
i i don't know what your rights to that footage are because you're in it too maybe the guy who
00:20:25.100
attacks you maybe he could be blurred i think if they prosecute me on the 2nd of september we will
00:20:28.940
have to receive that footage so i don't i sit and think will they want the footage to go out there
00:20:33.900
now you meant you mentioned the 2nd of september is there something special about that's when i
00:20:37.340
answer bail so so right now you're on bail and they could charge they could charge me they haven't
00:20:42.860
they're doing more investigations and and that's decision days this number second that's what they've
00:20:47.420
said what makes me nervous about that is your big rally is coming up on september 13th yeah but
00:20:52.300
there's nothing when you watch the footage ezra i would have been concerned about that when you watch
00:20:56.540
the footage as well as the fridge we have yeah if it goes before a judge man it's like i know they can do
00:21:02.220
what they want but after watching that footage which that we've got which we they've agreed they
00:21:06.700
won't delete and we have a hundred percent copy of yeah there's no case yeah they're self-defense
00:21:11.180
it's the most evident case of self-defense well listen i just want to take a second and when you
00:21:16.460
when this whole thing happened you and i spoke a bit and i said well we can't stop them from harassing
00:21:22.060
you get stressing you out and burning up your time but one thing we can do is we can lift the load
00:21:27.180
of the legal fees and i spoke to the firm and they gave me a quote and i haven't received the bill yet
00:21:33.660
but but hundreds of people out there did chip in at save tommy.com you know what john pisses me off
00:21:40.220
i'm sorry you had to chip in i'm sorry you because we don't get that money back yeah because do you
00:21:44.780
know why because when i went through because they prepared so the king's council they've prepared for
00:21:49.180
the here they had to they had to get ready because i had to get the worst yeah assume the worst so they've
00:21:53.420
got ready prepared everything but that's what happens here i go out for a day's work i get
00:21:57.740
arrested i get threatened i'm in a position where i have to defend myself it's a 10 000 pound hit
00:22:03.100
i'm all that's that 10 000 i know and that's cheap like that's cheap not cheap but the other ones have
00:22:08.380
been 50 80. you don't get it back and the actual criminal nothing nothing happens to him in fact he's
00:22:13.020
been called the victim well i mean he's been hurt yeah he's been uh and again again i wish him i wish
00:22:17.420
him a full recovery you know what the media has a culpability here they are they have a constant
00:22:23.740
drumbeat of hatred against you they've painted a caricature of you and and they've still done it
00:22:29.740
this whole weekend yeah even when they're in tenerife they're going in restaurants going in the gym i use
00:22:34.380
going in everywhere there's got to be more reporters and more police on the tommy robinson beat
00:22:40.060
than of major games which really made me happy as we're watching all this because i was away and i
00:22:45.100
couldn't comment the amount of people who had my back the amount of people who put their face to
00:22:50.140
camera said he ain't innocent he's innocent and then these people blindly done that i'm sitting there
00:22:54.860
thinking they haven't seen the video they don't know what happened but they're still putting their
00:22:58.300
neck on the line and saying nope he's defended himself he ain't just attacked some man and you
00:23:03.340
know what the best bit of act he ain't 64. they just lied they just make things they just lied i've
00:23:08.620
seen that time and again 64 years old it's just a lie it's a lie isn't that crazy you know it's wow
00:23:16.700
but yeah i'm happy i'm happy i was very worried very scared i need to work out what i do now between
00:23:21.660
now and september 13th which is probably shouldn't be i'm going to work out today i can't be walking
00:23:26.620

00:24:40.540
coming out in their hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of thousands maybe even millions the uk
00:24:46.300
has really transformed in the last six months i think things have changed in the last week
00:24:51.100
i feel like there's so many organic rallies and protests against these migrant hotels a year ago it
00:24:57.740
would have only been rallies that you and other sort of full-time activists would have led but
00:25:02.780
now it's ordinary people rising up country's awake mate and it's mums coming out everywhere and mums
00:25:07.500
that were thinking saying can now saying it the cat's out in the bag yeah people are awake talk about
00:25:13.340
them i want to talk about this you know we were i came here to talk about you getting bail but you
00:25:18.220
showed me this and i almost it's almost too much to believe i was arrested on i was arrested for
00:25:24.620
other charges yesterday so you got these just yesterday they arrested me these are i was
00:25:28.460
arrested arrested under caution questioned about three tweets so we've got those tweets here i'll
00:25:34.220
i'll start with this one here start this one okay let me explain this one so this says crime these are
00:25:39.580
crimes this is a crime this is not normal crime this is a crime i was arrested you were arrested i was
00:25:43.900
arrested for this now what i've done is this is sharing something from the daily mail newspaper
00:25:49.340
this is a daily mail article so when they sat me down they said are you i think it's in their
00:25:53.420
harms act 2023 that's the new lodges the last week are you accredited when they say credit
00:26:00.300
so media journalists they listed all these things and the point and let's say my solicitor butts in
00:26:06.060
and says hold on so they said you've you've shared this article yeah on your on your x and you say
00:26:12.860
that's a daily mail article because you shared and you don't have a it's almost like where's your
00:26:17.420
license mate yeah they're protected where's your twitter license they're they're exempt from oh my
00:26:22.700
god so that the recognized media as in the government recognized media are exempt from this
00:26:27.980
laws and they're now using the law so they're checking who's an official person before they
00:26:32.140
retweet a daily mail story and then you're arrested so this is completely different they said and they
00:26:37.740
said the point because this is a miracle what they say is uh a primary school in east london has been
00:26:43.420
named as the first in the uk where none of the children's first language is english yeah and then
00:26:48.060
they showed show some pictures of pupils the school sits in a quiet side street a busy commercial road
00:26:52.700
in whitechapel a district once synonymous with jack the ripper the cray twins and home to the nation's
00:26:58.380
true cockneys now this now that word was added onto daily mail article now this now what he said is
00:27:04.220
are you saying that those bengali girls wearing headscarves
00:27:08.060
are not cockneys and then he he he he he the copper red out the definition of cockney oh my god
00:27:14.300
the definition of cockney is too much the definition of cockney is oh i'm crying my eyes out at this
00:27:18.380
point the definition the definition of cockney is someone born in east london yeah oh my god are you
00:27:24.540
saying that they're not cockneys oh my god it's too much right that sounds like that sounds like
00:27:31.340
crazy comedy oh london cockney oh my god are you saying that these little bengali girls with hijabs
00:27:38.140
on are not cockneys and that's a crime and it's a cr and even if you were wrong and they were right
00:27:42.380
it's a crime it's a crime you're under arrest for that and here's one you know the uk has a last i
00:27:47.980
heard 43 000 jihadis under surveillance by mi5 like there's a real terrorism problem and i've seen some
00:27:55.100
of the big marches you tweeted just a little meme here well again there's lots of admins which i made
00:28:00.860
clear to the police i didn't tweet this anyway yeah i have multiple admins on my account posting
00:28:05.820
multiple news i post my videos yeah but regardless of that yeah yeah this was treated from my account
00:28:11.740
it says Palestine Hamas Islam want to protest off to a muslim country and protest this was posted
00:28:20.140
straight after uh a few months after this is this is from 2024 so this arrest is from a post on my
00:28:27.420
twitter from 2024. they've been keeping this for more than a year one year and just in case there's
00:28:31.980
any confusion here Palestine Hamas Islam and if you want to protest off to a muslim country
00:28:41.340
now that's profane language those are swear words and it might someone might say those are many
00:28:46.380
all those are crime is what's crazy and i'm only repeating that anyway yeah because it's they're
00:28:52.140
trying to nick me for that they've arrested me because someone one of my admins has shared a flag
00:28:56.780
that says that now let me now nick that means you've been arrested and they're arrested so i'm on
00:29:03.340
police bail for this also yeah so so is there something going to come from this are you going
00:29:08.620
to be charged let me know and this is the third one there this other one shh we are supposed to
00:29:13.980
celebrate this diversity so basically the fact that none of the children's first language is english
00:29:19.020
in the school and because the comment says shush we are supposed to celebrate this diversity
00:29:24.140
i'm under arrest what do you think of what's going on i don't i would not believe it if you
00:29:30.300
didn't show this i actually said to the two couples so these are different cops these are different
00:29:34.380
cops these are met so it was bridge transport piece question me first of all i was in there until
00:29:38.940
three in the morning until three in the morning because after the british transport piece the met
00:29:42.780
piece question so the twitter police yeah that's right i've heard that 30 people a day are arrested
00:29:47.340
under this is this i actually said i actually said to two lads who were sitting there trying to tell
00:29:51.020
me how these kids got these and i said that's you didn't sign up the police to protect and so no one
00:29:57.340
says when i want to grow up i wanted to i want to take on just asking twitter you didn't actually
00:30:01.820
do that to be sitting down with people like me about a post saying this is diversity like see
00:30:07.660
like on a serious note that's and they're both just looking at me i said no serious like you must
00:30:12.540
be pissed off you've got to be raging who's making you do this now can you describe these cops were
00:30:17.900
they sort of affirmative action dei hires no they weren't these are just regular cops who are on the
00:30:24.140
regular cops who were all right as well when i spoke to him after he interviewed the other lad said
00:30:28.300
we're all looking forward to september 5th tommy well but he's the enforcer of this but they're the
00:30:32.700
people who are sent to do an arrest is there and i actually just laughed when i read this
00:30:37.340
and they put them on the table that's crazy what's this arrest for and when i read that when
00:30:41.260
i read that one i was like have they really that's really they're just looking at me like
00:30:45.820
have they taken these down or censored them in any way do you know they're not taken down
00:30:49.820
see this is where they'll start saying crimes have been committed on x they'll start saying they'll
00:30:55.660
put a big in a month or two months or any year there'll be 1 000 crimes recorded from x where
00:31:02.300
the government couldn't do anything or something like that that's what i think they just build up
00:31:07.260
now anyone can see these it's like it's just they've gone back to bearing in mind it's now
00:31:13.660
2026. this post is from may to may 2024. they'll get you up what they actually said they spoke about
00:31:20.940
people's feelings being hurt and just i didn't i mean films i didn't know there was a crime story
00:31:27.180
rolls with this one one of the points with this was so it was shared in june june 2025. i think the
00:31:34.540
article might have been wrote in 2024. so by the time this was shared they're saying that
00:31:40.780
it's not all the kids don't speak english but they're saying it's a year later but so now it's
00:31:44.380
wrong so then but the thing that would be wrong i mean no no no the thing that the arrest is for
00:31:49.420
publishing something that's not correct that's what the arrest one so there's two arrests one of them
00:31:53.980
was for one of them was for going against thing and this was for publishing something which no not to
00:31:57.740
be right and it's like it's in the daily mail mate but then they said yeah but when you published it a year
00:32:02.380
later it means it's not right it's like are you fucking winding me up are you actually for real
00:32:07.260
is this actually we're actually sitting i'm under arrest in police interview because something was
00:32:11.660
shared a year later which then would have changed the statistic a little bit tommy there's a the
00:32:17.180
laurenti barrier the former soviet head of secret police had a saying show me the man and i'll find
00:32:23.740
you the crime which meant we got something on everyone just tell me who you want to go after
00:32:28.780
there is no public person in the uk who hasn't said something with a spicy opinion or a fact that
00:32:35.260
maybe was out of date every policy every mp and every okay he gets a community you know in every
00:32:42.380
week that's the thing and those things are part of the debate for police to arbitrate a debate
00:32:47.420
for police to be a fact checker that is terrifying to arrest to arrest so give me one more minute on
00:32:55.260
this arrest when i stepped off the plane i was arrested for gbh and i was arrested for these
00:33:00.620
charges did you know that no i didn't know what they're talking about i said i said read that out
00:33:03.740
to me again what am i being under arrest for and it's like communications blah blah blah it's not
00:33:07.980
to do with this uh communications act 2023 breaches of this so you have to go back to court on this
00:33:14.860
i'm just waiting i'm waiting oh my god i just gave a prepared statement that said actually because
00:33:19.260
i didn't post these anyway right i didn't post them but this is ridiculous and so they kept it
00:33:24.620
so you were done the whole subway fight uh tube fight at 1am but they kept you another two hours
00:33:30.780
