Transcript

00:00:00.720 Hello and welcome to Brokeronomics. Now in this episode I'm delighted to be joined by
00:00:05.120 Gavin Bobby, the Mosk Buster. Thank you. Thank you for coming on. So let's tell us about your work
00:00:13.120 because you're doing some sterling work out there and for those who don't already know you what is
00:00:18.160 it that you're applying yourself to sir? Well I'm very flattered to be nicknamed the Mosk Buster.
00:00:23.680 What I do is I stop mosques gaining planning permission. So if you have a planning application
00:00:29.920 to create a new mosque in your neighbourhood, contact me and I'll jump on it to stop it.
00:00:35.680 And what I do is I respond to requests from local people, local neighbourhoods. Can you stop this mosque
00:00:42.960 getting set up in our neighbourhood? And believe me, I have never met anyone who wants a mosque
00:00:48.240 in the neighbourhood. Doesn't matter how liberal left you are, you don't want it there. And that's
00:00:52.880 what I do. And it's very satisfying. You feel like James Bond for half a day if you achieve it.
00:00:58.240 So that's what I do. Well, I want to ask you about your track record on this and how you're doing
00:01:04.880 and stuff. But the first thing you probably ask is, well, why don't you want a mosque in your area?
00:01:08.080 I mean, does it not bring sort of religious harmony to an area? Yeah, vibrant diversity,
00:01:14.480 wonderful takeaway, fluffy bunny heaven. What I talk about is the four stages of Islamisation.
00:01:22.320 Right. Of a neighbourhood, if I can remember. The first stage, that's the parking jihad.
00:01:26.720 Now, as jihad goes, that's not the worst form of jihad, but it is still really annoying and it's
00:01:31.760 aggressive. Whilst the service is on, this is our area now and we're going to dominate it through our
00:01:39.520 parking. And that means parking in front of your driveway. That means parking inside your property,
00:01:45.200 on your driveway. That means preventing you going out to the supermarket.
00:01:49.760 So if a service is on, they would just pull onto your driveway and park there?
00:01:53.600 Oh yeah, yeah, oh yeah. Blocking you in? Oh yeah. And no self-respecting
00:01:58.080 meter maid will dish out tickets to mosque-goers whilst there's a mosque service going on.
00:02:04.560 Wait, wait, wait. I only need to park slightly over the line and I'm slapped with an 80 quid ticket.
00:02:08.720 Yep. But they don't ticket cars. I have never heard of that, no. And what I've been told time and time
00:02:14.320 again by local neighbourhoods is you never see a meter maid around this area because they know
00:02:21.040 what's good for them. It's not worth it. Well, yes, I suppose because if you get caught-
00:02:24.880 You get your head kicked in. Yes. If you get caught, then they're probably going to respond
00:02:31.280 fairly vigorously. Well, they'll kick your head in. I mean, they're not going to tolerate you
00:02:35.840 taking, putting parking tickets on the cars of mosque worshippers. They won't tolerate.
00:02:40.880 They're not going to tolerate that. Hmm. And probably, I suspect, I don't know,
00:02:46.800 there's no way of finding out, I suspect there might be some memos from on high that go down saying
00:02:53.440 go easy. But I don't know that. Well, I think it's fair to say that if they covered up
00:02:58.960 grooming gangs, they're willing to cover up parking. I think, yeah, that's a safe bet.
00:03:02.960 Yes. What are the other stages? So that's the first stage. The second stage is,
00:03:09.920 I think the second stage is, oh, the second stage is, F you madam, this is our area now. And that's
00:03:17.840 because when your wife- Getting a bit more confrontational and in your face.
00:03:21.520 Yes. Yeah. So your wife goes out and says, would you mind moving your car, please,
00:03:25.920 so I can go to the supermarket. F you madam, this is our area now.
00:03:29.920 The third stage is what I call the plastic bag stage. And that's quite intimidating. That's where
00:03:35.520 you get about two or three Muslim men turning up on your doorstep with a plastic bag with some cash in
00:03:42.960 it saying, sell your house to us. And they make a derisory offer. Normally, what I've heard people
00:03:49.120 telling me is about one third of the market price. They might throw in something like a cruise. I'll
00:03:54.000 say, give us your house and we'll give you a third of the price, plus a cruise, we'll give you a third
00:03:57.920 of the price, plus a fancy holiday and a hotel, that kind of thing. And when people say, no,
00:04:03.520 it's not for sale. I've lived here all my life and I wouldn't sell for that amount of money.
00:04:07.840 What they are told is, no white person will buy this place off you. And that was one of the things that
00:04:14.000 motivated me to start doing this. In my day job, dealing with planning permissions, I had a nice
00:04:20.800 family, a client. They had a house with a plot or garden either side. I got them planning permission
00:04:27.440 for another house on one side and a third house on the other side. And then one of them telephoned
00:04:31.840 me quite embarrassed and said, if we sell one, it'll be bought up by Muslims and they will stuff it with
00:04:41.680 what he said, illegal immigrants. And their job will be to make life impossible for everyone else.
00:04:46.800 And we'll have to sell the other two for a song because they won't sell to anyone else.
00:04:51.200 So, and the line is, no white person will buy this place from you because you're among Muslims.
00:04:57.040 And so that's the third stage. And then presumably the authorities, they just
00:05:01.760 don't engage with this at all. Well, no, you go to the police, they do not want to know because
00:05:07.760 all the police will say is, so someone turned up on your doorstep and made an offer for your house.
00:05:13.200 There's no crime here. That's what they'll say. But I mean, the subtext is Muslim, burly Muslim men
00:05:20.080 turning up on the doorstep. Often they're not shy of doing it to the little old lady who's lived there
00:05:25.120 all her life, inherited it from her parents. And it is intimidating. And if she comes to me saying,
00:05:35.440 what do I do? I just say, sell, put it on the market and get out, get out quick. It's only going
00:05:40.640 to get worse, which is unfortunate. That's the situation we're in. The fourth stage after that,
00:05:47.760 if she says, no, I'm staying here, is the, what I call, there is no reason to, I presume there is
00:05:54.000 any racial element to this crime, madam, because that's what the police say to you. So you get your
00:05:59.360 broadband cable cut, you get your gate post knocked over, or a window gets broken, or something nasty
00:06:07.040 comes through your letterbox. You go to the police and they say, there is no reason to assume there's
00:06:11.680 a racial element to this crime, madam, because they don't want to tangle. And so, and people,
00:06:17.200 at that stage, even the bravest people move because, I mean, if you're coming home, you don't know what's
00:06:21.600 going to be through your letterbox whilst you're out. It gets pretty wary. So it is not, it's not a
00:06:28.080 picnic. Now, that happens over quite a long period. The parking jihad happens immediately. As soon as
00:06:33.120 you get a mosque, you'll get the parking jihad. That's territorial. That's like a tramp urinating
00:06:39.280 on his park bench. That's saying, this is our area. And also, the F off misses, this is our area now.
00:06:45.680 That second stage, that comes pretty fast as well. But it takes quite a while to develop from stage
00:06:52.320 two to stage three. But it will happen. It's written into the Islamic code. And that's what
00:06:59.120 you're facing. Okay, so I mean, that seems pretty blatant. It is just a question of just taking over
00:07:05.520 the area. Oh, yeah, yeah. It's territorial. And this happens all the time. This happens every mosque,
00:07:11.840 does it? Yeah, a mosque is there to establish territory. That's its primary purpose. I mean,
00:07:17.840 every mosque is supposed to be based on the original mosque at Medina, so not Mecca. Muhammad
00:07:23.440 goes to Mecca, can't get up his dictatorship, does a retreat to Medina, gets up his dictatorship there,
00:07:30.480 forms the first mosque there, and then goes back and conquers Mecca. And that first mosque in Medina,
00:07:37.840 that was really for blessing armies, sending them to war, conducting war strategy, negotiating treaties,
00:07:46.000 far more about politics and military matters than about contemplation of the divine. And that is what
00:07:51.360 mosse are today. Their primary purpose is a fortress for establishing territory. A bit like Henry VIII
00:07:59.520 building a fortress. It's a modern day castle. Yeah, that's what it is. Right. And the authorities
00:08:04.960 just don't want to touch any of it. Okay. Yeah, yeah. Well, no, they don't want to tangle. Perhaps
00:08:10.640 I can get on to how they respond later when the British people, ethnic British people, get up on
00:08:17.760 their hind legs. But their view is, the view of politicians, their view being a politician as a
00:08:26.320 business, their view is, don't tangle with the Muslims. They're always complaining. Give them what they
00:08:31.760 want. Get them to go away. You can't win with them. And so they tend to give them what they want.
00:08:37.360 And so they're just not going to get involved. So you have to turn the tables on them to use that
00:08:42.880 cowardice against them, which can be done. Well, I can only imagine, if this happens every time,
00:08:48.560 that once or twice exactly what you just suggested, there must have happened. There must have been an
00:08:52.160 equal and opposite reaction from the native population. And presumably, at that point,
00:08:56.240 the constabulary do deign to get involved. I don't think I've ever seen that, really.
00:09:04.640 Really? No. In general, I think that's going to start to change. In general, the quality of opposition
00:09:15.040 on our own side is very low, or has been very low. So the most you might get is a drunken... I saw the
00:09:23.920 English Defence League would occasionally conduct a demo outside a mosque once it had gained planning
00:09:30.400 permission, which is a bit like saying, give us a condom, the baby's been born. But it never came to
00:09:39.040 anything. I've never... Occasionally, I've seen, once or twice, I've seen council meetings where you get
00:09:46.160 quite a few quite drunk people really irritated about it. But it doesn't come to anything, because
00:09:52.320 the councillors know how to talk those people down, because they're paid to do that. So, so far,
00:09:58.480 it doesn't come to fisticuffs. Okay. Little old lady, she moves out eventually. She probably takes the
00:10:05.040 offer. It's, it's very cruel. And she, she is the roadkill of our collective cowardice. Wow. Yeah.
00:10:14.160 So the, the only effective way is to stop it before it gets planning permission. That should
00:10:18.400 be a new experience. Yeah. Realistically, yeah. Right. And it can be done. And you've been doing
00:10:23.600 this since 2010. And you've actually, I imagine, had quite a string of successes, which I'm kind of
00:10:29.040 astonished about, because I wouldn't expect you to, to win any of these. But yeah, somehow you do.
00:10:33.840 Yeah. I, I, I've, I've lost, I think I've fought about 105, something like that. Maybe a few more.
00:10:40.720 I think my win rate is about 60, bit over 60, maybe 65% at the moment. So you've stopped something
00:10:48.400 like 60 to 70 mosques being built. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm proud of that.
00:10:53.680 Yeah. And the, when I first started, I remember, I think was the first, I did 13 before I lost one.
00:11:02.320 So I, I suspect that's because they weren't, I had the element of surprise.
00:11:08.320 So, I mean, not wanting to drop too much into the jargon and the, the ifs and buts of, of planning,
00:11:15.120 but I mean, briefly in layman's terms, how, how do you stop them?
00:11:18.480 The, the bedrock for the case is to get up a local opposition to the application. So you need to get as
00:11:28.160 many local people as possible within the area to write to the council, objecting to the application.
00:11:34.320 And it's, it's really, it's done on the basis of the hypocritical technical planning legal code.
00:11:42.400 So we are concerned about parking. We're concerned about noise and disturbance, amenity for the area.
00:11:48.000 You don't mention religion or race. You don't mention what, what happens when there's a mosque in your
00:11:54.640 area. What, what you, what you talk about is the effects on planning amenity. And so, so bureaucratic.
00:12:01.200 Yeah, but it works. So when, the fastest way to lose is to go on about religion. If you do that,
00:12:06.000 you've lost, you'll lose. So you talk, you, you talk through the planning legal, legal code,
00:12:10.560 and you need to get as many local people to do that as possible. If you can get them to do that,
00:12:14.800 those politicians who are in it as a business, I know. My mum was a councillor who chaired the local
00:12:22.400 planning committee. Before that, my granddad was the councillor who chaired the local planning committee.
00:12:28.000 And I've seen the calibre of councillors get worse and worse and worse. They are, I think, very,
00:12:33.840 very poor indeed. If I was a psychopath, I'd be a councillor. I'd aim to clear 30 grand a year doing
00:12:40.240 two hours a day. I'd fiddle the expenses and I'd fail to turn up at meetings. I reckon I can do it.
00:12:45.840 And that's not bad. Like, if you're retired, that's a nice income. You get a few bun fights, fancy
00:12:50.720 handles. Yeah, certainly tops up the pension. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, and people will pay you,
00:12:54.800 I don't know why, but people will pay you respect. Maybe because they want something off you.
00:12:58.960 So it's, it's, it's effectively, you just got to, they expect that they're going to get hassle from
00:13:04.880 the Muslims if they don't approve it. Yeah. You just need to show there's more hassle on the other
00:13:08.880 side and they, and, and inevitably they will take the easy life option. Yeah, that's, that's right.
00:13:14.640 They will. And you can see them changing once they realise that Whitey is up on his hind legs.
00:13:22.480 So your local British population, when they start objecting, those councillors will switch.
00:13:27.920 And you see it at council meetings. So the debate goes round and round in a circle like that,
00:13:33.040 round and round. And it will start off by saying, it's about community. It's about family. It's about
00:13:37.920 diversity. It's about tolerance. And as they realise the number of objections, you can see these
00:13:42.800 councillors starting to say, gosh, gosh, I do like community, but parking is a bit of a problem
00:13:48.080 around here. I went shopping around there. And then as it, as it goes round and round,
00:13:52.320 those objections, what about local amenity? And there might be noise from this mosque. And
00:13:57.200 I'm not sure this is the right building. It would be a shame to change it.
00:14:00.000 It's such a bizarre series of parochial concerns against the actual issue. But if it works,
00:14:04.080 I guess it works. Yeah, it's code. It's code. It's, it's nonsense.
00:14:08.160 Can you bring in the other stuff? So can you say, look,
00:14:11.120 here's the last 50 mosques that have been built, and this is exactly what happens to
00:14:15.040 Parki and it's aggressive? Or can you not mention the aggressive bit? Can you not imply that there's
00:14:18.880 anything deliberate about this? In general, in the past, that is the fast way to lose,
00:14:25.760 if you try to use that as an argument, because it gives the council the pretext to say,
00:14:30.000 you're a bunch of bigots. You're only against them because they're Muslims. Yes, of course.
00:14:34.560 You're only against it because it's a mosque. Therefore, all of this opposition has been whipped up.
00:14:39.440 And you tend to get that Britain first. I've noticed them all in two campaigns,
00:14:44.240 I observed that they got involved in. They kind of took that line. And I was working on these ones,
00:14:49.760 and Britain first getting involved meant the mosque. I think their involvement meant the mosque got
00:14:54.720 planning permission, because they mishandled it, because they didn't really know what they were
00:14:59.200 doing, I think. And if you talk like that, you're probably going to lose. What I used to do at the
00:15:08.480 beginning was I'd slip in a little nugget about that just at the end of my little three-minute harangue
00:15:16.000 to the councillors. So I might say, you can't do this by law because of the nature of Islamic doctrine.
00:15:23.920 So what I used to say at the beginning is, if you do this, this ultraviolet is your powers,
00:15:30.640 you can no more grant planning permission for a mosque than you can grant planning permission
00:15:35.040 to me to set up a child brothel or a chop shop for selling stolen cars. That's outside your powers,
00:15:41.120 because of the violent, unlawful nature of Islamic doctrine. And if you do that,
00:15:47.280 you then become personally liable and you can be sued in your individual capacity. And that's the
00:15:52.080 kind of far-breathing talk I'd like to talk, basically saying, I'm going to get every asset
00:15:56.080 off you. I'll take your house off you. And then when you get up on your feet, I'll take it off you.
00:15:59.920 I like that. Yeah, I'd like to say that to them. But I think that time will come. But
00:16:06.240 if you do that now, they won't feel, well, they won't feel sufficiently threatened to go along with it.
00:16:13.280 They'll still grant planning permission. But that time's coming. That time's coming. If you would like
