00:00:00.000 Hello, my friends. Holy smokes, does the UK ever have a two-tier justice system? Who gets bail?
00:00:06.640 Who gets prison? Who gets criticized by the Prime Minister? Who gets protected by them? It's sort
00:00:11.780 of an incredible story. And it also touches on our friend Danny Tomo, for whom we are crowdfunding
00:00:17.120 a lawyer. I think you'll find it interesting and infuriating both. But first, let me invite you to
00:00:22.440 become a subscriber to Rebel News Plus. That's the video version of this podcast. Just go to
00:00:26.980 rebelnewsplus.com click subscribe and it's only eight bucks a month to you but that i know that
00:00:32.760 doesn't sound like a lot but boy it adds up it really is an important source of revenue for us
00:00:38.100 and we take no money from the government and it shows
00:00:40.360 Tonight, five men were arrested near an American air base in England on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack.
00:01:03.620 And by Monday, all five were out on bail while our friend Danny Tomo sits in a prison cell for cutting a rubber dinghy.
00:01:12.680 It's September 28th, and this is The Ezra Levant Show.
00:01:16.420 You've got it for freedom!
00:01:19.220 Shame on you, you censorious bug! 0.87
00:01:22.440 let me tell you what happened at raf fairford that's the big air base in gloucestershire 0.81
00:01:37.040 that the americans use for their big bombers early sunday morning at about a quarter to one
00:01:42.400 a local farmer was driving home she saw three vans parked in her village and a group of men
00:01:49.580 eight or ten of them with their faces covered they ran when her car approached she called
00:01:55.100 999 that's the british 911 she asked not to be named but here she is talking to itv
00:02:01.820 she says she's embarrassed she's just a farmer who happened to live there
00:02:07.120 minding her own business and you know mi5 didn't find them she did take a look picture i had was
00:02:14.420 three extremely unusual vehicles parked in the middle of our village and a group of unknown men
00:02:20.600 running around. It's such a flash moment of seeing them. But there were definitely more than five,
00:02:26.400 we think maybe between eight and ten of them. Boy, we're lucky that she was alert. Five men
00:02:31.040 were arrested, all British nationals, all in their 20s, all from London. They were arrested under the
00:02:37.340 Explosives Act. Then they were further arrested on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack.
00:02:42.340 arrested arrested again and then given bail let go all five released on police bail with
00:02:50.040 stringent conditions yeah sure the defense secretary of the uk west streeting says we know
00:02:57.040 that iran and their proxies wish to do us harm okay what does that mean counterterrorism police
00:03:03.520 say and i quote to be very clear this does not mean that the investigation is over all right
00:03:08.980 well, I hope not. Then why did he let them go? And their names, why are they secret? We don't
00:03:16.280 know who they are. And the prime minister, Andy Burnham, he called a COBRA meeting. That's the
00:03:20.760 emergency committee that deals with crises like terrorist attacks in the UK. And on Sunday, the
00:03:25.880 day of the arrest, he said this, the investigation remains ongoing. And that would urge people not
00:03:31.900 to speculate while the authorities establish the full facts. Don't speculate. Don't jump to
00:03:36.360 conclusions. Don't prejudge. All right, I get it. The presumption of innocence and all that.
00:03:41.960 Innocent till proven guilty. I believe in that. But here's the thing. That principle only seems
00:03:47.120 to apply to some people in the UK because that very same day, the same day, the same prime
00:03:53.660 minister went on BBC and was asked about Danny Tomo. Danny Tomo is a 37-year-old activist in
00:04:00.680 the mold of our friend Tommy Robinson, who has been leading protests against mass migration,
00:04:05.980 especially via small dinghies that are crossing the English Channel with illegal migrants.
00:04:11.200 He was arrested for trying to pierce one of the dinghies, and he's been held without bail for that.
00:04:18.120 Now, the BBC asked Burnham, the prime minister, if Danny is racist.
00:04:22.500 Where did that come from? Listen to his answer.
00:04:24.820 On what they were in the early 2020s.
00:04:27.200 So I understand people's concerns, and I will be relentless in addressing their concerns.
00:04:32.980 but people also have to look at the facts
00:04:35.940 and they also have to see when people are playing
00:04:38.880 the worst kind of politics with this issue
00:04:42.420 that is leading to people feeling afraid in their own communities.
00:04:46.000 You said we are seeing something new in the manner of these,
00:04:49.000 what you describe as unacceptable protests.
00:04:51.520 One of the leaders of these protests is a man called Danny Tomo.
00:04:54.540 Do you think he's a racist?
00:04:57.220 Well, it's hard to conclude that he's anything other than someone
00:05:02.240 Well, your Home Secretary said he was.
00:05:03.980 She said he was an outright racist.
00:05:05.540 I hesitate always before I...
00:05:09.240 You know, I've not read everything that he said.
00:05:10.940 I've not followed everything that he's done.
00:05:14.300 So I'm just going to say that because I don't just throw labels on people.
00:05:19.160 But given everything and the way he's behaving and what he's seeking to whip up,
00:05:23.960 I mean, this is the worst kind of hateful behaviour.
00:05:30.340 Did you catch that?
00:05:31.500 he labels Danny a racist and then at the very same breath says he doesn't throw labels on people.
00:05:37.600 He admits he hasn't read what Danny said. He admits he hasn't followed what Danny has done
00:05:41.220 and he labels him a racist anyways on the state broadcaster with a trial pending. That's not a
00:05:46.180 prime minister being careful. That is a prime minister putting his thumb on the scales of
00:05:50.440 justice. In Canada, we'd have a word for that. So would any lawyer in England. It's called
00:05:54.040 prejudicing a trial. A jury one day will be picked from people who watch the BBC
00:05:59.140 and the head of the government has already told them what to think about this guy.
00:06:02.820 Five men near an American airbase, though, don't you dare speculate.
00:06:07.880 One Englishman who cut a migrant boat, racist,
00:06:11.620 worst kind of hateful behavior, said on the BBC,
00:06:14.920 it's so obvious that even Nigel Farage,
00:06:17.640 who usually keeps a careful distance from people like Danny Tomo,
00:06:20.520 said it today. He said this.
00:06:22.700 And Labor MP Mike Tapp replied,
00:06:24.740 I'm going to help you out on this one, Nigel, you're missing something.
00:06:27.760 No, Mr. Tapp, he's not actually missing anything.
00:06:29.960 Everyone in Britain can see it, except the people running it.
00:06:32.400 So what did Danny actually do?
00:06:34.000 Well, he's accused of slashing a migrant dinghy in the channel with a knife.
00:06:38.740 Police say there was one French Coast Guard official still on the boat.
00:06:42.720 Now, when they arrested him, police threw the book at him.
00:06:45.300 Criminal damage with intent to endanger life, endangering the safety of a ship.
00:06:50.200 Offenses under the Aviation and Maritime Security Act and the Merchant Shipping Act.
00:06:54.740 And what do they actually wind up charging him with? Criminal damage. That's it. Criminal damage
00:06:58.440 to a rubber boat, plus a second charge for not handing over the password to his iPhone.
00:07:04.720 He pleaded not guilty. He chose a jury trial. And on Friday at Basingstoke Magistrates Court,
00:07:10.500 excuse me, he was refused bail. 37-year-old roofer, father of four, his partner's expecting another
00:07:17.580 baby. He is not a flight risk. Where exactly is he going to go? To France? He was refused bail.
00:07:24.440 He's in a prison cell tonight.
00:07:26.080 And who refused him bail?
00:07:27.640 This was interesting.
00:07:29.020 Deputy Senior District Judge Tan Ikram.
00:07:31.720 You probably haven't heard the name, but in 2024, three women came to a pro-Hamas march
00:07:37.500 in London, one week after the October 7th massacre of the Jews.
00:07:41.440 And they were displaying images of paragliders.
00:07:43.340 The paragliders of Hamas used to fly in and murder Israelis at a music festival.
00:07:47.460 And Judge Ikram convicted them, actually, under the Terrorism Act.
00:07:51.340 And then he gave them conditional discharges. No jail, no punishment. Really, your lesson has been well learned, he said. He actually said that. Paragliders celebrating a Hamas massacre, go home, don't worry about it. A rubber boat, go straight to jail. Same judge.
00:08:07.720 Danny's barrister put it well in court he said quote this defendant is not charged with an
00:08:12.600 offense of political activism whether you agree with it or not that is not the issue
00:08:16.520 exactly so why is the prime minister's talking about his politics on bbc what's that got to do
00:08:22.220 with anything now we've seen this before lucy connolly i don't know if you remember the name
00:08:28.160 she said she was a child minder like daycare type mom from uh northampton married to a local
00:08:34.480 conservative counselor after the southport murders in 2024 three little girls who were stabbed to
00:08:40.200 death at a dance class she wrote an angry post on x that's all she did made an angry post on twitter
00:08:47.040 she deleted it within hours she was taken in jail she applied for bail a judge refused it
00:08:53.160 she was put in jail for 31 months long sentence 31 months for a tweet she was behind bars for about
00:09:01.340 a year in the end, away from her daughter. A mother who writes a nasty tweet, no bail. 0.90
00:09:07.880 A man who cuts a migrant boat, no bail. Five men arrested near an American bomber based on
00:09:14.380 suspicion of preparing terrorism. Home by Monday. That is two-tier justice, and they barely bother
00:09:19.880 to hide it anymore. And it's not just the courts. Look at who they're letting into the UK.
00:09:24.860 Today, the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, the Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmood is her name,
00:09:30.980 She announced a new route for refugees into Britain.
00:09:35.360 And who did she single out?
00:09:36.680 Her words, around a quarter will be Afghan women and girls fleeing persecution under the Taliban.
00:09:42.660 Here's a clip of her.
00:09:44.220 Fairness, fairness isn't only about control.
00:09:48.080 Fairness is also about offering sanctuary to those who are truly fleeing war and persecution.
00:09:54.520 So as we tackle the gangs and reduce the incentives that draw people here illegally, we are also opening new, capped, safe and legal routes.
00:10:05.600 I know that the British people have not given up on their belief
00:10:17.820 that we should be compassionate, live up to our international obligations
00:10:21.760 and save the lives of those fleeing war and persecution
00:10:25.960 but I also know this process must be capped and controlled
00:10:30.340 with communities ready and able to welcome those who come here
00:10:34.580 For that reason, I can announce today that from next month we will begin accepting applications
00:10:41.940 from charities and non-profits to sponsor refugees through our new safe and legal routes.
00:11:01.660 This will start with a community sponsorship route, allowing local communities to host
00:11:07.120 refugees, and a student sponsorship route, which will allow universities to do the same.
00:11:14.380 Applications will open in October, with the first arrivals in autumn of next year.
00:11:20.840 Applications for sponsors for a further work route will open in the spring of next year.
00:11:26.480 And that is not all conference.
00:11:28.320 I can also announce that this government will reopen the UK resettlement route in partnership
00:11:34.540 with the United Nations.
00:11:36.660 We will take vulnerable refugees from across the world and give them the chance of a new
00:11:41.480 and better life here in Britain, with the first arrivals this year.
00:11:53.880 I am proud to say that around a quarter of those will be Afghan women and girls fleeing
00:11:59.500 persecution under the Taliban, and Palestinians who have fled the horrors of Gaza.
00:12:23.880 And her colleague, the Foreign Secretary, Ed Miliband, went further.
00:12:30.340 Here, listen to this.
00:12:31.280 As we think about our role in the world, we will never be silent about injustice and suffering. 0.93
00:12:38.000 Let us state the reality about the Middle East.
00:12:40.680 The only route to peace is two states, a secure Israel and a secure Palestine, with freedom,
00:12:47.200 dignity and self-determination for both peoples.
00:12:51.020 We all know how far away we are from that.
00:12:54.940 Hamas's murderous attack on October 7th united the vast majority of the world in rightful condemnation.
00:13:02.840 We stand, I say, against anti-Semitism wherever we find it and in whatever form.
00:13:10.120 And this party will always recognise the threats Israel faces
00:13:20.500 and stand emphatically against those who seek its destruction.
00:13:24.640 But this cannot justify the suffering the Netanyahu government
00:13:29.600 has inflicted in Gaza and the West Bank.
00:13:32.760 This suffering...
00:13:40.120 This suffering is a stain on the conscience of the world.
00:13:43.560 And I want to say to the millions of people in this country, and indeed elsewhere, who
00:13:51.060 have been moved and outraged by the plight of the Palestinian people, we hear you.
00:13:57.760 You were right.
00:14:10.120 And under Andy's leadership, we have reset our approach. 0.88
00:14:25.640 We call out ethnic cleansing by the settler terrorists in the West Bank.
00:14:30.700 We call out the evidence of war crimes in Gaza.
00:14:33.920 We call out Israel's illegal occupation of Palestine and we match words with action. 0.90
00:14:39.980 We will ban the import of goods from illegal settlements. 0.87
00:14:43.180 We will disrupt the supply lines of British finance, British construction, and British services for illegal settlements.
00:14:49.260 And when it comes to the attempt to destroy the two-state solution, this party, this movement, this government says, we will not let you succeed. 0.73
00:15:01.580 You were right. Right about what?
00:15:05.140 The people who've marched through London month after month since October 7th, 0.70
00:15:08.140 the ones chanting for a violent intifada,
00:15:11.240 the foreign secretary of Great Britain just told them,
00:15:13.800 you're right.
00:15:15.240 Sorry, that's not foreign policy.
00:15:16.780 That's a Labour Party trying to win back the votes
00:15:19.580 that lost to pro-Gaza extremists in the last election.
00:15:23.280 Boy, the UK's in a bad spot. 0.95
00:15:24.860 Now, I have sympathy for the women living under the Taliban. 1.00
00:15:27.780 Who wouldn't? 0.94
00:15:28.640 But let's look at the places Britain has chosen to prioritize.
00:15:31.200 A few years back, the Pew Research Center.
00:15:33.880 pretty liberal think tank asked Palestinians what they thought of Jews. 97% had an unfavorable view
00:15:40.700 97% and about Christians well in Gaza 52% of people had an unfavorable view of Christians
00:15:47.780 and in Afghanistan Pew found 99% of Afghan Muslims want Sharia as the official law and of those 79%
00:15:57.040 support the death penalty for leaving Islam. Those aren't my numbers that's from Pew.
00:16:02.240 Of all the places on the earth, Britain has chosen to fast-track two of the most hostile to Jews and to Christians in a Western culture.
00:16:11.260 What are you doing?
00:16:13.280 We already know how that vetting goes.
00:16:15.220 I mean, look at this from the Sunday Times.
00:16:17.060 Hardly a right-wing rag.
00:16:18.820 Exclusive.
00:16:19.880 The former bodyguard of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of Hamas, was given asylum and citizenship in the UK.
00:16:26.960 and then plotted a huge foiled terror attack targeting Jews in Europe last year.
00:16:32.760 So it's not just a Hamas supporter.
00:16:35.280 This was a bodyguard to the head of the Hamas terrorist group,
00:16:39.160 a man with, as the Sunday Times reporter puts it,
00:16:42.440 an apparent history of gun and gold smuggling.
00:16:47.160 Britain gave him asylum.
00:16:49.060 Then Britain gave him citizenship.
00:16:51.640 Then according to the Times, he played an essential role
00:16:54.020 in a plot to murder Jews in Berlin or Vienna.
00:16:56.560 And here's the part that tells you everything.
00:16:58.840 A British court gave this man legal anonymity for 100 years.
00:17:04.380 What?
00:17:05.160 It took the Sunday Times to get that lifted. 0.68
00:17:07.780 100 years of secrecy for a Hamas bodyguard.
00:17:12.240 Not one day of bail for Danny Tomo. 0.53
00:17:15.440 A Hamas bodyguard? 0.99
00:17:16.520 Welcome to Britain. 1.00
00:17:17.560 Here's your passport.
00:17:18.880 And here's your anonymity order for 100 years.
00:17:22.960 And here's the part that made me laugh or cry, whatever.
00:17:24.880 Same conference, same day.
00:17:26.080 the health secretary Yvette Cooper warned that domestic abuse and sexual violence against women
00:17:31.240 and girls has reached epidemic levels. That's her word, epidemic. Same afternoon, her government
00:17:37.140 announces fast-tracking people from a country where most people who want Sharia law also want
00:17:42.500 apostates put to death. That is, if you convert away from Islam, you get killed. Do these folks 0.98
00:17:49.420 hear themselves? Or do they just not care because they know the BBC won't ask? So who can't get into
00:17:56.960 Britain if that guy can? Well, me. You might remember in May, the Home Office canceled my
00:18:03.240 travel authorization. Their words, my presence in the UK is, quote, not considered to be conducive
00:18:08.600 to the public good. No appeal. A Hamas bodyguard, conducive to the public good. A Canadian journalist,
00:18:15.100 not. So I have to apologize to you and Danny's family. I would love to be in that courtroom
00:18:21.100 tomorrow. I would love to be outside the prison. I'd like to visit Danny in prison, but I can't.
00:18:28.240 That's another authoritarian thing Britain does now. Literally anyone can get into the UK except
00:18:32.760 a reporter who might report on it. But I'm not going to let that stop us. You know, here's what
00:18:36.780 Rebel News is doing about this. Danny asked us for help through his friend Tommy Robinson. So we said
00:18:41.480 yes. We've already paid his lawyers for the first stage, the police station and the bail fight.
00:18:46.140 And we've committed to fund his defense at the Crown Court. He's a strong legal team. He'll have
00:18:50.220 a senior barrister in that courtroom. Tomorrow, Danny's case goes to Portsmouth Crown Court.
00:18:56.820 We'll be following it. Our reporter, Alexa Lavoie, will be there. And we're doing something else.
00:19:01.680 Danny has four kids. Their father's in prison. So we're setting up a trust just for the kids so
00:19:07.580 that money given to them goes to them, not to the lawyers, not to anyone else, just to the kids
00:19:12.380 to take care of them while their dad's in jail. That's dannytomochildren.com. I chipped in the
00:19:18.140 first 50 pounds. So there's two separate fundraisers. One is for the legal fight.
00:19:23.180 That's savedanny.co.uk. And one is for the children, dannytomochildren.com. The illegal
00:19:30.420 migrants who cross that channel get lawyers for free, usually paid by legal aid, paid by the 1.00
00:19:36.560 British taxpayer, the Fairford Five, the terrorists, the accused terrorists, they'll get 0.97
00:19:40.640 lawyers too. If they get lawyers, shouldn't an Englishman who stood up for his country get a
00:19:45.920 lawyer too? I think so. If you do too, go to savedanny.co.uk for his legal defense, or dannytomochildren.com
00:19:54.520 for his kids. Chip in what you can, because if they can do this to Danny and to Lucy,
00:20:00.200 they can do it to you. Stay with us for more.
00:20:06.560 Take a look at what happened just the other day near the Chinese consulate in Toronto.
00:20:19.400 Absolutely shocking.
00:20:37.200 let me see a sec
00:20:45.040 let me go
00:21:06.560 You don't move
00:21:16.280 You are going to smash the overall fate
00:21:19.500 If you don't have to hit the wall
00:21:24.020 Don't have to ту protection
00:21:25.880 Do you have to do this
00:21:27.820 I was wasting your life
00:21:28.980 If you skid just want to
00:21:31.220 This is the pit
00:21:32.560 You don't know this
00:21:34.100 This is the answer
00:21:35.600 Oh, you're going to fight with me. 1.00
00:21:37.600 I'm going to kill you, you know? 1.00
00:21:39.600 Yes, I'm going to kill you. 1.00
00:21:41.600 Get out, out. 1.00
00:21:43.600 You don't want to kill me. 0.98
00:21:45.600 It's going to kill you, isn't it? 1.00
00:21:47.600 It's going to kill you. 1.00
00:21:49.600 Kill me, you know? 1.00
00:21:51.600 Do you know China? 1.00
00:21:53.600 Do you know?
00:21:55.600 Ask Q&A there if you have any questions to tell us.
00:22:01.680 Oh, that's even theніe is from anyone to see a problem in our society 0.63
00:22:10.680 A got� is not the first place suggests thisства. 0.94
00:22:15.880 Absolutely disgraceful, absolutely infuriating 1.00
00:22:42.940 a man speaking Chinese wearing a lapel of the People's Republic of China, accosting a peaceful
00:22:50.840 protester outside the Chinese consulate, attacking her, destroying her property, saying this is
00:22:58.920 Chinese soil. No, it's Canada. This is Chinese territory. You are breaking the law, he says to
00:23:07.580 her, the anti-secession law. That's a law, if I understand it, that stops people from being
00:23:15.440 pro-Taiwan. I will kill you, he says over and over again. Not just a disgrace, an outrage, 1.00
00:23:25.500 but obviously a crime, uttering threats, mischief, damage to property, assault.
00:23:31.740 Just disgraceful. Joining us now to talk about this and what's happened since
00:23:35.900 This Citizen filmed footage aired is Terence Shen, an independent journalist, and he calls himself a social media equalizer, which is just great.
00:23:46.740 Terence, welcome to the show.
00:23:49.160 Good to see you, Ezra.
00:23:51.040 Who was that man? Do we know his identity yet?
00:23:56.100 From what I heard, the Toronto police is looking for this guy.
00:24:00.600 And we don't know if he's come from a Chinese consulate or some just a random guy.
00:24:10.000 But from my experience and with the discussion with the people who are there, we believe that this guy is directed by the consulate to do this job.
00:24:24.140 I find that plausible.
00:24:25.600 I mean, it's unusual to be walking around with a lapel that shows the flag of the People's Republic of China.
00:24:32.960 It feels like a uniform of some sort.
00:24:36.600 It's not a military uniform, but it shows an allegiance to a foreign nation.
00:24:40.940 And when he said, you can't do this because the consul is here, this is Chinese soil,
00:24:46.100 obviously he's implying that he has some knowledge or connection to the consulate or embassy. 0.64
00:24:51.320 And by referring to a Chinese law and pretending that it applies here in Canada, this feels like either a Chinese diplomat, a Chinese spy, or one of those atrocious Chinese policemen who have been allowed to operate in Canada as China-centric policemen bullying democracy activists.
00:25:13.660 That's how it looks to me.
00:25:15.380 It clears to me that this guy is hired by somebody, possibly from the Chinese consulate.
00:25:23.640 The Chinese flag is a speaker.
00:25:26.480 And also he has somebody is filming him to doing this.
00:25:30.740 So basically there are two people to do this job.
00:25:35.120 And he took some of the posters and banners away.
00:25:39.420 right uh i think this is like a trophy like somebody to something to show to his boss that
00:25:46.060 he did these things and also with the video so so he filmed this so let me interrupt you sorry
00:25:52.460 so he or his friend filmed this so i didn't think about that i thought perhaps it was not the
00:25:57.180 protester but he was but you i presume you know the woman who was attacked so i presume she told
00:26:04.300 you that he had a colleague who was filming it all is that correct yes yes he has a colleague
00:26:09.980 filming the whole thing oh uh apart from the the protester also is from filming so the the video
00:26:17.340 we saw here is the is something that the uh protesters field but uh but they are also
00:26:25.420 filmed the whole thing yeah oh they oh they all so this was by a protester but there was someone
00:26:30.540 else filming him for presumably his boss to document what he did that's what you're saying 1.00
00:26:36.460 right yes okay yeah so who was the woman there you say you you spoke to her was she a falun gong
00:26:41.960 member was she a pro taiwan or pro hong kong person yeah who was she yeah they are a falun
00:26:47.940 gong practitioner uh they're protesting they've been doing this for years and i see this as um
00:26:55.240 isolation of
00:26:56.980 pattern of behavior we've seen
00:26:58.940 for years. They told me
00:27:01.220 that they've been protesting
00:27:03.000 for so many years
00:27:04.920 and also there always somebody
00:27:07.280 came up and attacked
00:27:09.200 them, but not like this.
00:27:11.220 This one is more aggressive.
00:27:13.760 This guy not only
00:27:15.000 just kicked the poster and ran away,
00:27:17.220 he basically
00:27:18.620 teared down everything and
00:27:21.040 took some of the banners
00:27:23.280 and also threatened
00:27:24.880 in their face. So this is obviously an escalation or more aggressive behavior.
00:27:33.260 Yeah, I mean, he repeatedly threatened her with death. Now, we reached out to the Chinese consulate
00:27:38.960 and they actually gave us a statement. I'll read it to you. They said, the man in the video has
00:27:43.720 no connection with the consulate general of the People's Republic of China in Toronto.
00:27:48.260 We strongly oppose any malicious implication or false accusations made to damage the reputation
00:27:55.060 of China and the consulate general. So no comments about the violence or the threats, just,
00:28:01.120 hey, don't embarrass China. I don't know. I don't think I believe China. They're masters
00:28:07.520 at propaganda. They're the world's worst and largest dictatorship. We don't really care about
00:28:13.200 what they said because they always say
00:28:15.300 it's nothing to do with them because
00:28:17.060 even with anyone who was caught
00:28:19.480 spying for China
00:28:21.060 in Canada
00:28:23.040 or even in American
00:28:25.000 court, you know, these
00:28:27.060 people have been put in prison
00:28:29.040 because of this. Everything's
00:28:31.080 everywhere. But China also
00:28:33.100 denied. They basically
00:28:35.120 denied everything. So I don't really care
00:28:37.240 about what they said.
00:28:38.800 I just wanted to show you that we did reach
00:28:41.260 out to china and that's the response we got now i want to tell you at rebel news terrence i don't
00:28:46.000 know if you know this but we have a big beautiful billboard truck that has video panels on all sides
00:28:53.400 and as an act of defiance we set up a website called cowards and bullies.com and we took our
00:29:01.560 big beautiful billboard truck down to the chinese consulate today you can see this is canada your
00:29:09.560 bully tactics don't work here. Chinese Canadians have the same rights as every other Canadian.
00:29:17.080 You've been doing a great job after all. And you can see we did it. Look at that, Terrence. We did
00:29:22.260 it in Chinese too. So we did this right across from the consulate. You see that high fence and
00:29:30.320 that's the Chinese emblem and the spiky fence. And there's our big, beautiful truck. Do you know 0.99
00:29:38.920 who this is help us identify him and in chinese as well as in english what do you think of that
00:29:47.940 have you seen that truck before i've seen that uh yeah in your videos and i think you did a great
00:29:54.700 job doing that because i feel like uh the reason they became more aggressive is because they don't
00:30:01.900 they feel like there's no consequence uh for their actions right they've been doing that for many
00:30:07.420 years and nobody got caught and nobody, uh, was, uh, charged. So they, they feel like they can
00:30:14.200 even attack people, assault people. Uh, so, uh, we have to do something about it. We have to show
00:30:20.520 them that we, we're going to fight back. Yeah. And of course, uh, there's the concept of losing
00:30:26.220 face and embarrassment. And frankly, I think the Chinese communist party needs to be embarrassed
00:30:32.880 about what we saw there and even if it's technically true that that man doesn't work
00:30:37.740 for the consulate in toronto which was a very lawyerly specific way of mentioning it he obviously
00:30:43.900 is serving china either as a volunteer or as a spy or as a some sort of auxiliary like he clearly
00:30:53.320 is identifying not as canadian but as communist chinese and he's bringing his thuggery and that's 0.84
00:30:59.500 why we called it cowardsandbullies.com. Do you think that our billboard truck was noticed? I 0.98
00:31:06.700 mean, how could it not be? We were literally outside the Chinese consulate. What do you think
00:31:10.940 the Chinese consulate thought based on your experience with them? What do you think they
00:31:17.460 thought of our truck? And they didn't send anyone else out to accost our truck, which I think was
00:31:23.280 wise on their behalf. What do you think they're thinking? It's a truck and it's come from
00:31:29.180 canadian media so they don't really dare to do anything about it uh if it's a senior female 0.99
00:31:37.500 protester like the falun gong practitioner they will come out uh then damage your property right 0.95
00:31:44.300 but this is a truck they cannot tear down the track they cannot do anything about it if they
00:31:49.900 do that it's going to be a bigger news they don't really want that they sent this guy to to do this
00:31:56.460 job to send a signal to the diaspora community that anyone who dare to be critical of Chinese
00:32:05.280 government, they will do something about it. But that's obviously not applying to Canadian media.
00:32:12.800 Yeah. Well, we believe in freedom. We admire free places around the world. For example,
00:32:20.320 south korea as opposed to north korea we admire taiwan which is a multi-party democracy we really
00:32:28.080 stood up for hong kong before it was devoured by communist china and we hope every day that that
00:32:34.320 great country becomes free from the authoritarian rulers that dominated uh it's great to see you 0.98
00:32:41.280 today thanks very much for taking the time and if there are more incidents like this you bet
00:32:45.840 We'll deploy our truck out there just to, as you say, be a bit of a social media equalizer.
00:32:51.960 Thanks for taking the time.
00:32:53.500 Thank you so much.
00:33:02.840 Well, you know, I used to go to the UK quite frequently, probably once a month for years,
00:33:07.580 because there were so many legal battles.
00:33:09.560 They were trying to silence Tommy Robinson.
00:33:12.000 Well, now they're doing that to Danny Tomo.
00:33:13.880 I just can't believe they refused him bail.
00:33:17.260 He's a dad of four, baby number five on the way.
00:33:20.760 He's not a flight risk at all.
00:33:22.720 And he stabbed a boat.
00:33:25.720 And by the way, those are sort of unsinkable.
00:33:28.160 I won't get into why that is.
00:33:30.440 It was more the drama of it, the theater of it.
00:33:33.680 Well, they got him in prison and the accused terrorists are out there on bail.
00:33:39.600 What on earth is going?
00:33:40.460 And you know, I always say that going to the UK is like a dystopian time machine.
00:33:44.800 I can see our future five years down the road if we keep on the path we're going.
00:33:48.560 I believe that more than ever.
00:33:50.180 Our friend, of course, Alexa Lavoie will be in the court reporting on it.
00:33:54.120 I really wish I could be there, but please understand that I have been banned from the UK.
00:33:58.340 I'm suing the Home Office over that, but they have banned me because I'm a friend of Tommy's,
00:34:03.740 which is another hallmark of an authoritarian regime, don't you think?
00:34:07.580 Well, that's our show for the day.
00:34:08.860 until tomorrow on behalf of all of us here at rebel world headquarters to you at home good
00:34:14.080 night and keep fighting for freedom
