In this episode of Stay Free With Russell Brand: Watch Along, we're looking at Tommy Robinson's documentary, about rape gangs in the UK. What does it tell us about the new political era that we are entering? Is it possible to have a cohesive society in the West where Muslims, Christians, and Jews might live harmoniously together, and how do we manage the complex issues of migration and nation?
00:00:18.000Thanks for joining me today for Stay Free with Russell Brand Watch Along and what a controversial watch along it is.
00:00:24.000So we'll have to determine when we're leaping off of YouTube because today we're looking at Tommy Robinson's documentary about, well, there's several aren't there.
00:00:32.000There's ones where he exposes that the media appeared to collude with various sources and resources in order to create allegations against him, as well as his now notorious investigations about rape gangs in the UK.
00:00:47.000And now that there is an inquiry into rape gangs in the UK, after the government assured the British people there would not be one and there was no requirement for one, we are entering a new political era.
00:00:58.000if Tommy Robinson hadn't made that documentary and Elon Musk hadn't reposted it on X, this investigation that's happening in the UK would not be happening.
00:01:08.000Let me know in the comments and chat what that informs you and us when it comes to the new political era that we are entering.
00:01:17.000we no longer live in the age where political institutions and media institutions can absolutely control outcomes even when it comes to explicitly political matters like government inquiries.
00:01:29.000Let me know too if you believe that it was a scandal that this rape gang inquiry wasn't undertaken earlier and do you think that possibly the constant condemnation and smearing that Tommy Robinson is the recipient of is somewhat as a result of his position on these matters and do you believe that it's possible to have a cohesive society in the West where British Muslims,
00:01:54.000British Christians, British atheists and Jews might live harmoniously together and how do you manage the complex issues of migration and nation?
00:02:04.000if you have a nation you've got to have borders you've got to have a flag you've got to have a set of cohesive beliefs where are they derived from as people dismantle religious ideology in favor of globalism and statism people drift towards individualistic nihilistic despair all of this and more we'll be discussing with our team so if you're not on rumble premium yet get rumble premium now will be on youtube and x for the first 20 30 minutes or so depending on the censorship that this content uh receives because tommy robinson's often exorcised from a
00:02:34.000lot of social media platforms with me today is the producer of the show known by many simply as the man in the hat it's jake smith all right jake we're doing it again another week another week of deep inquiry into significant matters with like there are these are some of the subjects and let me know in the comments and chat what you want to see us discuss the clinton suicides i mean no no that's not that that's not how we phrase it it's called it's just actually people that know the clintons that commit suicide by coincidence or die just a kill list just a simple kill list
00:03:05.000it's just a simple kill list i mean we can like look we can talk to chat gbt about this like you know like it's not uh chat uh chat chat gbt do you is there is there an inordinate number of people that know bill and hillary clinton that have subsequently ended their own lives please let me know i love this bit also with me is masi our uh beloved iranian contributor you all right massey look

00:04:05.000its reposting on x after the british government have said that there wasn't going to be an inquiry previously what do you think about that chat gpt old chum that's definitely a heavy topic tommy robinson's documentaries have sparked a lot of debate um and definitely brought attention to certain issues it's interesting that uh there's now going to be an inquiry uh especially after the initial resistance it really shows the power of public discourse and media in influencing government decisions good

00:06:06.000he had used ai i didn't know that it was like as deep as it was do you think the news will ask him if he's masturbated in front of it and is that where this is going and like is there a point where it's like oh would you pull up these images and what would you do to me i mean where does this go where are the boundaries a good amount of my members tend to have pretty high libidos yes Well, how do you exercise your libido with binary?
00:06:53.000Okay, so let's have a look at Tommy Robinson's documentary.
00:06:57.000Just so you know, I'm a working-class British person myself, even though I've been through the annals, yes, and I use the word deliberately, of Hollywood.
00:07:05.000I still feel very connected to my roots and where I come from.
00:07:08.000My personal prayer and belief is that British people of all religious identities and races can come together to oppose the globalist establishment forces that seek to castrate British power and British identity.
00:07:26.000British people have always been welcoming and open-hearted, embracing people and willing to go to war and lay down their lives in the holy name of righteousness.
00:07:37.000So perhaps Tommy Robinson has a great contribution to how Britain can reorganise, reorder, maybe even reform its identity in the coming years.
00:07:47.000Let's have a look at this controversial documentary from a working class journalist.
00:07:53.000And that's what the left used to always say they wanted.
00:07:55.000The intelligentsia said, how do we engage the working classes?
00:07:57.000Well, let me tell you, the working classes are engaged now, and they don't like you.
00:08:41.000My job as a journalist, I stand for freedom of speech, I stand for freedom of press.
00:08:45.000And I failed because three years ago when I lost a court case in here and they bankrupted me to the tune of £1.6 million on a documentary, you're going to see the entire story was a lie.
00:08:54.000I failed because I should have come out of court and I should have played you that film.
00:10:54.000I just love, like, when I've lived in America for a long period of time, when I come back, it's just lovely to hear the way British people talk.
00:13:42.000Yeah, they're not allowed to have like the hard expletives, like only when they release it on streaming or on a subsequent platform, not like on the air, because the FCC like bans it.
00:13:54.000Can you imagine how upset Tommy Robinson will be if he's watching this, expecting like a sort of an earnest critique of his work as a documentary maker?
00:14:03.000And if the British people now that are sort of craving revolution, at least radical change, and are hoping that we can have a conversation where the British working class and members of other communities can find a way to live harmoniously together, to honour the electorate, to honour the results of the Brexit referendum, to honour the obvious wishes of a significant number of British people to manage migration seriously and sensibly.
00:14:27.000And then they tune into this, thinking Russell Brand, perhaps he's the person that can bring together the old establishment left, this new emergent populism, and highlight leaders in British politics.
00:14:39.000And they come over here and what we're talking about is Wanker and Watershed.
00:15:50.000What if your coffee didn't just wake you up, but actually awakened you to new realms of consciousness?
00:15:56.000That's what's being promised by 1775 Peaberry.
00:16:01.000Why are you drinking stinking, jaded, lukewarm, dirty, filthy grey coffee beans when you could be having vibrant, revolutionary coffee like this one?
00:16:53.000I think you have absolutely no standing to diagnose somebody's cognitive decline.
00:16:57.000It's grown high in the Bolivian mountains where the air is thin, the vibes are thick, and the beans basically whisper ancient truths to the winds.
00:17:05.000No acidic afterburn, no synthetic weirdness, and none of the lingering shame that tastes like the hotel mini bar after a three-day bender with all the snow.
00:17:13.000Hey, I played that guy in a couple of movies.
00:17:18.000But this coffee doesn't leave you hung over in a feather boa or speaking fluent nonsense.
00:17:24.000Just bold, smooth, consciousness activating coffee with clean energy and antioxidants so potent I drank it and remembered three of my past lives.

00:17:51.000This is a documentary about the unholy alliance between the media, the justice system and our politicians.
00:17:57.000How they conspire to suppress free speech, how they pervert democracy and how the truth and your freedoms are just two of the casualties.
00:18:04.000We will show how the mainstream media deceives people, how they ignore the truth, how the lies the virtue signal in BBC, ITV and Channel 4 are all about their poisonous agenda, no matter the cost to innocent people.
00:18:17.000It's also a documentary about how an everyday playground incident between two young lads was spun into global news at a terrible cost to so many people, not least the two young lads themselves.
00:18:29.000We will show how the law is being abused, how people driven by hateful ideologies attempt to intimidate and silence anyone who dares to challenge the so-called progressive, so-called liberal narrative.
00:18:42.000We will show the foolishness of our fear-driven political leaders who jump I actually think it's pretty good so far.
00:18:51.000This is like a side of Tommy Robinson that I've not seen before when I've seen him on Jordan Peterson and stuff like that.
00:18:56.000The thing is, is I think I feel like a lot of people sense Tommy's got a kind of a febrile, kind of edgy, like lightweight boxers kind of pugilistic stance and tone to him.
00:19:10.000But I think he's a good communicator and I think he speaks for a lot of people.
00:19:14.000What I've always hoped as a person that's lived in areas with a high Muslim population is that there's a way to recognize and reconcile that people of the same economic and social class, regardless of their ideological Beliefs and racial backgrounds can live harmoniously.
00:19:34.000I would say that's probably within the context of honoring a country's origins.
00:19:38.000And I'd say that whether you're talking about Japan or Syria or Britain, if a culture is built up, that culture should be honored, and people that live in that culture should be free to express their own cultural values, except where those cultural values are at odds with the native culture.
00:19:53.000I would say that if I was going to go and live in Japan, I am a refugee, a migrant, albeit one that's blessed to live in the free state of Florida.
00:20:01.000So I wonder how this conversation can evolve and unfold.
00:20:05.000And so far, I think that Tommy Robinson is communicating very well.
00:20:09.000Let me know what you guys think in the comments and chat.
00:20:12.000Jumped on a story, took a side without knowing the truth.
00:20:16.000Or worse still, knowing it but hiding it.
00:20:19.000Because the truth didn't fit their narrative.
00:20:46.000And it all comes down to the way he speaks, the way he behaves.
00:20:49.000Yeah, but I would say I agree with you.
00:20:53.000But I would say that here in this documentary, doing his bit to camera, that this isn't the same as when you see him sometimes on a podcast and he seems a little bit amped up.
00:21:04.000Now, in a way, I identify with if Tommy Robinson feels like he's under attack, he is under attack.
00:21:10.000This is someone who's been under attack most of his life as he's tried to work out how to express that where he's from in Luton, it seems like there's a hostility between the working class white people and as he always says, Sikhs and black folk and the Muslim population.
00:21:30.000Now, I've always been sympathetic to British Muslims in particular because I note that whenever communities are turned against one another, both of those communities lose and the establishment benefits.
00:21:45.000So what my interest is in Tommy Robinson is that he's an authentic working class voice that I believe ought be supported.
00:21:54.000And even in the areas where I reckon I would disagree with him, I would like to see if there are ways to advance the conversation without getting into jingoism, xenophobia or other difficult territories.
00:22:09.000But what I'm mindful of is that perhaps a lot of things I think about Tommy Robinson might have come from the appraisal I've received from watching legacy media and from a lot of people's, as you point out, Massey, biases towards people that speak how he does.
00:22:26.000If you're an American, you won't be aware of the nuances around class, but our little light-hearted conversation about vernacular slang and cursing earlier is a kind of indication of some of the unique aspects of British cultural life, which is still an old establishment country with a deep, steeped tradition when it comes to power.
00:22:49.000I don't know if that's a good thing anymore or not when I look at some of the alternatives.
00:22:54.000But when you look at the American establishment, in some senses, it's a global establishment because American global imperialism is corporate and commercial in nature.
00:23:06.000And the British establishment has sort of deep, deep roots, deep, deep bloodlines.
00:23:12.000Plant like Lancashire, Yorkshire, the plant, like there are old families and old ideas and old institutions that are quite difficult, even if you live there to understand.
00:23:24.000I suppose because we grew up in the fog of it.
00:23:27.000But, you know, what I'm saying is, is that there's something different about the way he's communicating here to how I see him when he feels like he's under attack because he's under attack.
00:23:35.000And I know what that's like because I feel like I've been in the dock for years, you know?
00:23:38.000Yeah, I think core values are important to see, like, how would you rank what's important to you?
00:23:44.000So if fairness is really important to you, then you might go, this guy's not fair or equal.
00:23:48.000But if authenticity is important to you, then you'd go, I like this guy.
00:23:52.000So like the read that I get from just watching him talk, I go, I like this guy.
00:23:58.000Whether you believe or agree with everything that he says, you at least know that seems to be authentically who he is.
00:24:06.000I reckon increasingly, Jake, that metric will become significant that you might say, I don't agree with that person, but at least they're telling the truth.
00:24:15.000Like say someone like in British politics like Jeremy Corbyn, like whether you agree with him or not, he's authentic and he's telling you the truth.
00:24:24.000And he's not just someone who's trying to make a bunch of money out of politics.
00:24:28.000You know, then there are other figures like Nigel Farage.
00:24:31.000In a way, we're going to have to see, I think, in the UK in particular, new consortiums, new alliances, new political affiliations, or we'll continue to yield to what he sort of, he parenthesized and sort of verbally italicized words like progressive and liberal, because those words are not about progressing and they're certainly not about freedom.
00:24:52.000They're ways of couching a conversation to ensure maximum bureaucratic power and division among the people that could most likely oppose institutional elitism.
00:25:03.000Because the truth didn't fit their narrative, regardless of the human cost.
00:25:08.000And we'll ask three important questions.
00:25:11.000Firstly, is the media accountable to anyone in any way for what they report?
00:25:15.000Years after the Leviton inquiry, has anything changed or do they continue to act with impunity?
00:25:22.000Listen, we're going to leave YouTube now.
00:25:24.000Click the link in the description for the rest of this.
00:25:27.000Over the next couple of weeks, we're watching this documentary in its entirety.
00:25:32.000Click the link, join us over on Rumble and get Rumble Premium.
00:25:35.000It really helps us if you support our work there.
00:25:37.000Secondly, is our legal system still fit for purpose?
00:25:40.000We will show how lawyers who hate Britain but love jihadi warriors have weaponised the law system against us and how the legal system really only works for the rich.
00:25:50.000And finally, how do we keep our politicians accountable?
00:25:54.000If the police, the courts and the state can silence anyone for speaking inconvenient truths.
00:26:00.000Truths that may raise questions about government policy.
00:26:03.000Is the UK any different from China, Russia, or Iran in their treatment of dissidents?
00:26:09.000And of course, for Piers Morgan, for Jeremy Fine, for the BBC ITV and Channel 4, it's a tutorial on journalism.
00:26:34.000One boy pulled a bottle of water on another child, the school dealt with it, and that should have been that.
00:26:39.000Three weeks later, however, a video clip of the incident surfaced and within hours, with the help of lawyers and the ignorant rantings of ITV's Piers Morgan and the BBC's Jeremy Vine, it was made into global news event.
00:26:51.000And the lives of so many people were turned upside down.
00:26:55.000Such playground incidents happen every day.
00:26:57.000So why was this spat between two boys transformed into global news?
00:27:03.000Well, one of the boys was white and the other a Syrian refugee.
00:27:07.000At which point the truth of the matter was buried beneath an avalanche of agendas and opportunism.
00:27:12.000Within hours, the race hate brigade was sharpening their blades.
00:27:15.000Clearly when somebody comes from Syria fleeing Assad's regime, coming to a place like this, when they get treated that way, that's an issue.
00:27:37.000One of the things you might want to pay attention to is the evident poverty in the background.
00:27:41.000And that for me tells a story that's important in British cultural life.
00:27:46.000When you're looking at, say, a mayor running in New York now under apparent progressive socialist policies, free school lunches, free this, free that, people will focus on his cultural values and what his views are on, say, queer or transgender politics.
00:27:59.000And those things are interesting in a variety of ways, I suppose.
00:28:02.000But when you look at the wealth inequality in the UK and in your country and the transfer of wealth that took place in the pandemic, it shows me, and I hope you feel this as well, that there's an opportunity for alliances for people that are, hmm, let's say working ordinary people across the world.
00:28:27.000I'm saying if there are people that want to live in communities that their value system is informed by Islam, they should be able to run their communities on that basis.
00:28:35.000If there are people that want to live traditional Christian lives, they should be able to run their communities on that basis.
00:28:41.000Now, I suppose the problem begins when there is opposition between those communities or who is in charge of a particular place or a particular space.
00:28:49.000But I think that's an easier problem to resolve through communication, through diplomacy, if you acknowledge that the way that the state and the media behave heightens and increases those tensions rather than decreasing them.
00:29:02.000Let me know what you think about that in the comments and chat.
00:29:05.000I'm not suggesting these are difficult, easy problems to solve.
00:29:08.000They're difficult, but they are easier to solve than us imagining that centralized bureaucracies and corporate and commercial entities care about anything other than increasing the economic disparity that you can see in the background of that shot.
00:30:01.000Free speech is under attack, Jack, but Rumble refuses to take it lying down.
00:30:06.000Rumble is farting out the fierce cock of authoritarianism and clamping shut the butt cheeks of free speech, baby.
00:30:15.000We've always believed in empowering voices, no matter how unpopular, and now we're taking that fight to the next level.
00:30:20.000When major advertisers conspired to pull their dollary dues, even brands like Dunking Donuts turned their back, claiming Rumble had a right-wing culture.
00:32:54.000It's gone to the high court and I have to prove I made a video stating that it was a lie, stating that Jamal wasn't innocent and telling some facts about Jamal beating up girls, an instance that I'd been warned about by the members of this community to tell the truth about what happened at this school.
00:33:15.000I need to knock and talk to them and see who I can get to come to court to help me prove to you, the public.
00:33:22.000This is about as much as proving in court as proving to you, the British public, that I was the only journalist in the country who told the truth about what happened in this community.
00:35:16.000And it's not just the media and the politicians.
00:35:19.000In today's Twitter and Facebook-driven worlds where celebrities and groups compete to virtue signal, most of them driven by the warm feeling they get by expressing their moral outrage or by fear.
00:35:30.000The fear of what might happen to them if they don't.
00:35:33.000Everyone who's anyone pumped the Bailey Jamal story.
00:35:38.000Boxers, Lennox Lewis, Huddersfield Football Club, celebrities from across the globe.
00:35:43.000Let's have a look at all of the celebrities and blue tick brigade who pumped the Jamal story.
00:35:50.000And here are some of the people who pumped the story you watched earlier of the white girl getting beaten up.
00:35:58.000Sadly, whether it's politicians, celebrities or other groups, none of them are wise enough or pause long enough to ask whether they have the whole story.
00:36:07.000To check the facts, to find the truth.
00:36:11.000But why let the truth get in the way of such a good story?
00:36:15.000And this story was just too good a story.
00:36:18.000Two Lads in a Playground scrap is not international news.
00:36:22.000But racist, white thug, waterboards, helpless Syrian refugee, boom!
00:36:27.000Racism can't be tolerated, beware of the far right.
00:36:44.000Representing might be too harsh a word, but I'm here as a concerned citizen.
00:36:50.000Muhammad Amim Pandor, a Mufti on a mission.
00:36:53.000He rushed to Almanbury from his mosque in Bati, a town at the far end of the district.
00:36:57.000In fact, there's 40 mosques closer to this school.
00:37:01.000But perhaps Mufti Pandor had his own agenda.
00:37:04.000You see, his little brother Councillor Shabir Pandor is the leader of Kirkland's council in Hudsfield.
00:37:09.000And they were having some pretty bad news days at that time.
00:37:12.000By the way, Mufti Pandor, he's the same guy who ordered the Islamic mob to come to the school in Batli and demand the sacking of the RE teacher who showed a cartoon of Muhammad in a discussion about free speech.
00:37:23.000Look at what we do as a community and you'll understand our stance.
00:37:26.000So what has happened is totally unacceptable.
00:37:30.000And we have made sure that the school understands that.
00:37:38.000Oh man, in a sense, even if you extract for a minute the subject of the documentary, which seems to be about media exploitation of an incident, which is a continual thing, that's primarily what the media does now is it highlights, amplifies, tweaks, distorts, changes stories to suit a narrative.
00:38:00.000Isn't it extraordinary to see just a few years ago, people wearing masks, masks pulled down into beards, police wearing masks?
00:38:08.000How many of us would wear masks right now if we were given the same opportunity and the information we have now about COVID, its transmission, the efficacy of masks, the lethality of COVID?
00:38:22.000In a way, you could see during this period, whether it's the Black Lives Matter protests or other social movements, that we were living in a kind of crucible of hysteria anyway.
00:38:34.000And into this crucible goes information that I think maximizes disunity and conflict.
00:38:42.000I feel that British Muslims have a right to live their lives and express their faith in freely.
00:38:52.000I also believe that British working class people have the, that are white and Sikh and Christian and atheist and whatever Else, have the same rights.
00:39:02.000And what I feel like is that the media's contribution to this incident is not beneficial.
00:39:08.000It's ultimately like the British Empire was built on a sort of a famous little maxim: divide and conquer.
00:39:14.000All empires require that the general population doesn't realize, wait a minute, we've got more in common with one another than these people that benefit from stoking conflicts between us.
00:39:25.000Let's see if there are ways that we can manage our social resources and our territories and our rights cohesively together rather than continually being conducted by forces that benefit from us being continually trapped in conflicts.
00:39:41.000I mean, throughout history, surely there have been ways where Jews and Christians and Muslims have got to find ways of getting on.
00:39:49.000And I know that whether it's Crusades or Ottoman Empire or the various diasporas and pogroms against Jewish people, this has been a history beset by conflict and disaster and by suffering.
00:40:01.000But what is amazing about this is that it literally starts between two kids and you can tweak this story however you want.
00:40:09.000And it makes, you see, there was that very successful knife crime documentary, not documentary, not documentary, scripted drama that starred Stephen Graham, brilliant English actor.
00:40:19.000And people kind of jumped on that and used that to tell this story.
00:40:25.000We don't want ordinary young men empowered.
00:40:28.000Let's vilify that movement, whether it's sort of Andrew Tate, who's a person that has challenges and has said some pretty crazy stuff, but he represents a sort of a, I would say, a kind of a constitution and a mindset that has to be kind of heard.
00:40:43.000Same with Tommy Robinson, same with other voices in this territory.
00:40:46.000It's all getting kind of shut down and polluted, not to protect you, not to help you, but to control you.
00:40:52.000That's, I guess, the main argument that I'm kind of pushing here.
00:40:55.000Well, you think, what is the goal of all this, right?
00:41:12.000And then the news travels so fast, everyone reacts to one headline and then it's off like wildfire.
00:41:17.000And for someone to stop and pause and to say, what is the truth and get to the bottom of it, it's going to take too long because there's going to be new news that's going to happen the very next day.
00:41:28.000I know in the chat right now, people will be saying, like, Israel funded Tommy Robinson and that kind of stuff.
00:41:33.000Or there'll be people saying that he's racist.
00:41:36.000And I guess my point is, why would you exclude this voice from the conversation?
00:41:41.000Who has the right to exclude this voice from the conversation?
00:41:44.000And given that Elon Musk reposting this documentary has ultimately led to an inquiry, why don't we just accept that you have to have complicated conversations with people with a variety of views and recognize that there's probably more chance of alliance, cohesion and peace between those groups without the intervention of the current systems we have?
00:42:10.000It's weird, isn't it, how in our interpersonal lives, most of us can get along with people with a variety of views in ways that they can't when it's filtered through the prism of the culture.
00:42:21.000Once it gets into the culture, it seems that it's more likely to heighten tensions.
00:42:26.000And far from being a Luddite, I believe actually that the advances in AI and telecommunications more generally could be used to create diplomatic communicative peace between various groups and establish new ideas of what a state or what a nation even means.
00:42:43.000I think there could be new conversations.
00:42:46.000People don't use the word Christendom anymore, for example, do they?
00:42:49.000They don't think that this is the Christian world.
00:43:03.000This isn't Shang-ReLa, whatever your idea of utopia is.
00:43:06.000This is going to be a place that's beset with conflict.
00:43:09.000But surely the principles we live by should be maximally affording us the opportunity to honor and acknowledge these differences.
00:43:16.000And first, we have to recognize that our current systems of power, whether they are media, government or corporate, are invested in increasing conflict.
00:43:26.000With that acknowledgement, we might be able to have more sensible conversations among one another.
00:43:43.000You may recall the teacher had to flee and he's still in hiding under police protection.
00:43:48.000Luckily, he hasn't ended up like Samuel Patty, the French teacher who was beheaded for having a similar discussion in a classroom about free speech.
00:43:58.000You see, free speech is essential for any society wishing to maintain intellectual and social progress.
00:44:03.000But not all societies are bothered about intellectual and social progress.
00:44:07.000Should we be silenced by the demands of Mufti Pandor and Sharia law?
00:44:13.000Should we sacrifice our freedom of speech?
00:44:16.000Should we sacrifice the free and open exchange of ideas?
00:44:21.000Should we sacrifice the cultural inheritance of which we are all custodians?
00:44:26.000But back to the bad news days in Kirkleys and the playground incident in 2018.
00:44:32.000There was also Kirkley's counsellor Masood Ahmed.
00:44:35.000I'm not aware of there's a problem at the school.
00:44:39.000That's something I'm starting to find out in terms of that there is a problem at the school and that is something I will definitely be picking up.
00:45:24.000At the same time as this playground spat between two young lads, 20 Huddersfield men were being jailed across Yorkshire At Leeds Crown Court for what would be the biggest grooming gang Britain has ever seen.
00:45:35.000Ultimately, 35 almost exclusively Muslim men would be given 380 years in prison for grooming, trafficking and raping young children, most of whom were known to Councillor Pandor's Kirkleys Council.
00:45:49.000Mufti Pandor travelled for half an hour to rabble-rouse a gang outside the school gates over this playground incident.
00:45:55.000When within a couple of mile radius in Batley, police have arrested a further 99 men in relation to historic sex crimes.
00:46:03.000So far, 32 have been charged, including one Ibrahim Pandor, 41 of Batley.
00:46:10.000That makes it the highest destination of grooming gang arrests anywhere in the UK.
00:46:14.000We Google to see what Mufti Pandor has said about these grooming gang atrocities.
00:46:26.000In fact, we can't find the condemnation from the Mufti's brother either, Councillor Shabir Pandor, leader of the council.
00:46:32.000Just one statement from him reported in June 2019 telling the National Working Group of Child Sexual Exploitation Response Unit that his authority had moved forward.
00:46:46.000Never mind grooming gangs, gang rape of young children.
00:46:49.000All these men seem to be far more concerned about what happened in a playground at Ormondbury Community School.
00:46:54.000Or about cartoons of their prophet Mohammed.
00:47:06.000I think I now realise how difficult this is going to be because everyone we've spoken to today, they're all confirming what I said was true.
00:47:12.000Everyone's confirming what Jamal was like, including school staff.
00:47:16.000But as soon as I mentioned this camera, as soon as I mentioned court, I need someone to come to court, they just totally silent straight away.
00:49:18.000Do you think he's going to set up hidden cameras in McDonald's and do an expose on their sort of their labor practices or the quality of their ingredients?
00:50:09.000I need them to know how much they've been lied to by the media about what happened in this town.
00:50:14.000And the only way, unfortunately, the only way I'm going to be able to do that is with hidden cameras because today I've heard the truth, but I need every one of you to know the truth.
00:51:01.000So you put that on the bottom of the coffee cup.
00:51:03.000feel like james bond This today, that's the camera.
00:51:19.000I'll have to take this off, but it doesn't matter because apparently this records all the audio, records everything.
00:51:24.000That's the camera, and I feel a little bit dirty doing this.
00:51:27.000But it is the only way I'm going to get people to speak.
00:51:31.000And then I need you to hear what I hear.
00:51:33.000The idea that people would maraude the streets looking for him was appalling.
00:51:38.000The fact that the video itself, although it showed the accumulation of things that built up to that, did not deserve what happened to him or to anybody else in that situation.
00:51:52.000I'm afraid the media, I call it the perfect storm, I was getting emails from Pakistan, from Australia, from America telling me to resign.
00:52:01.000So it went worldwide and I'm afraid I came into teaching to help poor people, and they got rid of me.
00:58:54.000So no one can ever, this is forever, once you sign that agreement, no one can ever tell the truth while they push this manufactured lie that destroyed lives, schools, communities, everyone's life.
00:59:05.000I've seen life after life after life, person after person's life destroyed, while the council, your local council, Kirk Police Council, give away hundreds of thousands of pounds to make sure that the truth can never be told.
00:59:19.000I knew from day dot, I asked myself the question, when this was blowing up and I knew the truth, I kept saying, how come no teacher's telling the truth?
00:59:26.000If all those teachers know what's going on in that school, how come none of them are coming out and saying?
01:00:01.000He just didn't really have respect for the female students, to be honest.
01:00:08.000Yeah, basically, we were in a P lesson and we were playing hockey with a teacher called Mr. Cattell.
01:00:17.000I had taken the hockey puck off of Jamal because I was on the other team and sent it to the other side of the room where my teammates were.
01:00:25.000And I then turned around and just felt a really sharp pain in my back.
01:00:29.000He'd swung the hockey stick over his head and hit me in the spine with it.
01:00:33.000All right, thanks very much for joining us today for Russell Brands Stay Free Watch Along.
