I've gone from being spat at, to being punched, to being hugged, to being embraced, to have my
00:00:05.340
hands shaken. And that process is now where the country's at. My cousin, when she was 14,
00:00:11.520
my cousin was 14, she woke up naked in a house in Berry Park being raped by loads of bearded men.
00:00:17.540
Remember, 7-7 bomb plot, they picked up their bombs in Luton. A fertiliser bomb plot, come out
00:00:21.740
of Luton. Stockholm bomber, come out of Luton. Luton was named by the CIA as the epicentre of
00:00:27.640
terrorist atrocities and the planning for Europe. And that's why I kept asking people,
00:00:32.480
what would you do? Tommy, when you look back at some of your behaviour, do you think that
00:00:37.000
it's tarnished your message? I had no option, right? Do you think I want to be out fighting?
00:00:41.360
I don't want to be out... Well, I do, though, Tommy. You're a football hooligan, right?
00:00:44.800
No, I'm 42 years old. But do you see what I'm saying? In the Quran, 7% of Mein Kampf is due
00:00:51.940
hatred. 7%. 11% of that book. Mein Kampf is banned. This isn't banned, this is taught
00:00:57.300
across the whole country. If they want to implement real hate speech laws, this would
00:01:00.880
be banned. Relax, relax, this is not an ad. I just wanted to let you know that you can

Tommy, been a long time coming, mate. Thank you for being here.
00:02:27.460
We've got a long conversation ahead of us. Lots to talk about recently.
00:02:30.940
You just said before we started, it's been the worst week of your life.
00:02:34.280
Just so people know, we were supposed to interview last week.
00:02:38.560
The more I'm getting ready in the evening, thinking about how we're going to do this interview,
00:02:42.240
because it's in the morning the next day, and then there's a video of you standing next
00:02:47.320
to a guy who's clearly just been knocked out. I'm going, he's probably not going to turn
00:02:53.500
Before we get into all that, though, the one thing that I think is really important is for
00:02:59.040
us just to understand for our audience and for ourselves, what's your story and who you
00:03:06.000
And I think that's a really big part of it that gets missed very often. People kind of
00:03:11.240
have an idea about you, as I once did, by the way. I will say this, right? But they
00:03:15.900
do not have the full picture. So let's talk about that. Tell us why you were here.
00:03:21.200
So that idea, I remember 2015 was the first chance I got to give a presentation of my life.
00:03:29.160
I walked into Oxford University. Everyone hated me. I was getting booed, shouted at, screamed at.
00:03:33.380
You know, when you go to Oxford University debating society, you get a free course meal.
00:03:36.720
I didn't get any of that. I just got invited in. But by the end of the presentation, I
00:03:40.720
got a standing ovation. And all the people there said, I didn't know any of this.
00:03:44.160
And I brought them back every time to growing up in Lumen. And I remember saying to the
00:03:48.580
audience, I don't know where you grew up, but please picture yourself. I'm going to tell
00:03:52.020
you my story, what I saw growing up, what happened to my family members, all the changes
00:03:56.060
I saw, and then ask yourself what you would have done. Keep asking yourself, what would
00:03:59.720
you do if you saw this? So yeah, I was born in 1982 in Lumen.
00:04:03.360
My mum was an Irish immigrant, Tulum. She's one of eight, from a poor family. And I grew
00:04:10.580
up in a town that is one of the most diverse and multicultural towns in Europe, actually,
00:04:15.100
in Europe. So I saw firsthand what it's like to grow up in a multicultural community, but
00:04:20.340
also what it's like in a town that, when I was born, had one mosque in 1982, and now has
00:04:25.420
45. So we're nearly a 50% Pakistani population of Muslims. And I saw the problems from that.
00:04:33.220
And I spoke about them. And I guess when people say I'm guilty of things, I'd say, yeah, I'm
00:04:36.940
guilty of being a decade ahead. But that's not because I had some golden light bulb or could
00:04:42.400
see into the future. I just saw my hometown. I saw from growing up as a child to what had
00:04:47.380
happened. And when I grew up, and again, I'll start off. So if you line all my friends
00:04:53.180
up and you get 30 of us, the majority of us are sons of immigrants, whether it be St.
00:04:57.480
Lucian, Bulgarian, Italian, Irish, all of us are sons of immigrants, yeah? I went to school.
00:05:01.800
Some of the best people I met growing up, some of the people I love from growing up are Muslim.
00:05:06.260
But that doesn't change that there's a massive problem.
00:05:08.760
So talk to us about that, Tommy. You mentioned, look, I imagine most people listening to this
00:05:14.300
can imagine what happens when a place goes from being mostly one group of people to mostly
00:05:20.100
another group of people, right? And we have friends, we have a close friend of ours who
00:05:24.140
grew up in Bradford, right? And he talks about what he experienced as a white guy in a mostly
00:05:28.720
Pakistani school, right? Most people don't think about that. So when you talk about problems,
00:05:34.000
right, what do you mean? Like, give us an example.
00:05:36.620
So I mean that going to school, so when I went, and I noticed it when I got to high
00:05:39.660
school, or even just, I talk about when I was, we used to have an under-18s nightclub,
00:05:43.520
and when people talk about racism and victim of racism, so I've been a victim of racism
00:05:47.960
untold times. I remember going as a young group of lads going to an under-19s nightclub
00:05:52.560
where we had to walk through the town, we'd get robbed, we'd get spat, we'd get, in the
00:05:56.640
end, we had to hide our money in our socks, because every time you went, you got robbed
00:06:00.020
and mucked by Pakistani gangs. You'd get called a dirty gula, little white boy, slapped
00:06:04.940
around. So when people talk about racism, I think, I've experienced it my whole life.
00:06:08.920
I've seen it my whole life. I've seen, and when we're at school, so if you come into
00:06:12.840
our high school, I went to a high school called Puttridge High School, which was a, still a
00:06:17.180
majority non-Muslim school, but then they bussed children from the Muslim community up
00:06:21.540
on buses into the school. Now, when you went into our school, and there's never been a racial
00:06:26.840
tension in Lumen. Never seen it. Never seen racism. The town is divided by religious
00:06:31.900
lines. That's it. It's white and blacks like this growing up. And it always was, especially
00:06:37.120
in Luton's football scene, which we can get onto. All of our groups and lads, we're a
00:06:40.680
very diverse bunch of lads. Always have been. Luton's football hooligan element was always
00:06:45.080
seen. The actual racist clubs from the 70s and 80s would always have a big day out in
00:06:50.340
Luton, because Luton's lads that would be resisting them, always white and black, because
00:06:53.940
that's what Luton has always been. But there was never really racial tensions. At school, and
00:06:58.500
we didn't create this Muslim playground, that was the front playground, non-Muslim playground
00:07:02.960
at the back. So even in the playground, it was divided. When you walk into the school
00:07:08.120
dinner hall, say go into the school dinner hall, and when you walk in, you'd have everyone
00:07:11.920
sitting in the mix, Chinese, Indians, blacks, everyone sitting at tables together. In the
00:07:17.940
corner, there'd be 10 tables of Muslims. That's just how it was.
00:07:21.400
And the playground, is that the school mandating that, or is it just how kids saw themselves
00:07:25.500
that? That's just how it divided. Right. That's just how it divided. And if one Muslim
00:07:29.200
got in any fight, 100 of them got in a fight. So something very different. I've never seen
00:07:33.400
that until I got to high school. And then I got to high school and see 10 or 20 men
00:07:37.860
booting one kid. And I've never seen that, because people had a fight before, and they
00:07:42.640
just had a fight. Now literally, and then when you get outside the school gates afterwards,
00:07:46.340
say when we were 13, 14, and we had some trouble with some Pakistani kids at school, and troubles
00:07:50.620
going on, when you come outside school, there'd be 30 men. Men. There's no 30 black men or
00:07:55.560
white men coming up to school. They're all at work. But there's 30 Pakistani men waiting
00:07:59.360
outside school to confront the 12, 13, 14-year-old kids. So I saw that. Also at school, I very
00:08:05.180
quickly saw young girls that were at our school. We viewed them at the time as children. I'll
00:08:11.100
be honest, we used to view them as slags at that time. Because the girls who were 13 were
00:08:15.720
getting picked up by Pakistani men outside. They'd come up to the school gates and literally
00:08:19.160
pick the girls up in school uniforms. And the girls would be going out and giving blowjobs
00:08:22.500
to taxi drivers. And we'd all know what's going on. But we never viewed them as victims
00:08:26.680
at that time as children. We were children, and they were going out. Basically, they were
00:08:30.600
victims of this grooming gang. My cousin, when she was 14, my cousin was 14, she woke up
00:08:36.100
naked in a house in Bury Park, being raped by loads of bearded men. She'd run out on the
00:08:40.920
streets, and the prostitutes rang her dad. The street prostitutes rang her dad. She was
00:08:52.340
96, 95. And a lot, I do this at Oxford University, a lot happened in my life at that time, which
00:08:58.040
whatever happens in your life shapes your worldview, shapes your view. You understand. Even there
00:09:01.920
was a murder of a gentleman called Mark Sharp. Google this murder. Mark Sharp was with his
00:09:06.220
son. His son was my age, probably when I was 11, 12. His son was my age. He was friends
00:09:11.280
with my uncles. And he's drove past, and he's had a bit of a road rage with a car full of
00:09:15.700
Pakistanis, and he's called them a wanker as he's gone past. They've followed him. They've
00:09:20.020
called for reinforcements. More cars have turned up. As he's got out with his 12-year-old son
00:09:24.720
to get a takeaway, they've jumped out. They've beaten with bats, beaten with poles. There was
00:09:28.800
an explosion of violence in Luton that we didn't understand at the time, coming from the Muslim
00:09:32.940
community. When we go back and speak to the elders in our community, it seemed to have been
00:09:37.400
stemming from the Gulf invasion. After the Gulf, something was happening in Luton which none
00:09:41.660
of us knew about. And it's only later as I get in in my life, which I'll get to, that
00:09:46.360
I started to understand, oh, this is what's made it. This is what this is. Because there
00:09:50.940
was always something different, which I didn't put down to the Muslim community, because at
00:09:53.760
the time it wasn't about them being Muslims. It was just Pakistanis are very different.
00:09:57.300
That's how I saw it. But Mark Sharp, they snapped a knife off in his head and killed
00:10:00.900
him. He survived for three, four days in hospital. I remember his family left the town.
00:10:05.660
The Pakistanis all went on the run. They got them back in the end from Pakistan. I think
00:10:09.060
they got four years. It's not justice. They got four years for a brutal murder where
00:10:13.880
six to eight of them jumped all over him, snapped a knife off his head in front of his
00:10:17.900
son. So I remember seeing all these things. And then my cousin, when she was being prostituted
00:10:22.580
in the end, the police would say she's a drug addict. Because she was. She was on heroin
00:10:26.560
because they got her hooked on heroin. Now, and I remember even when I got a chance on Jeremy
00:10:31.040
Paxman years later, and I remember saying to Jeremy Paxman, when I went on in 2010, and
00:10:36.360
it's now, it hasn't aged well for him. And when I went on the chat show, I said, they're
00:10:40.960
picking our daughters up from schools. They're picking our sisters up from schools. The gangs
00:10:45.260
are operating so different. They're not challenged. And he was like, really? You expect us to
00:10:49.160
believe this? I remember saying, Jeremy, do you know anyone who's hooked on heroin sold
00:10:52.380
to them by a Muslim gang? You don't. I do. Do you know anyone who's been killed by a Muslim
00:10:55.100
gang? You don't. I do. Do you know any girls that now wear full niqabs that aren't allowed
00:10:58.840
to see their family? You don't do you? I do. Do you know anyone who's been prostituted and
00:11:02.800
groomed and raped? You don't do you? I do. Yeah? I said, so I don't expect you to
00:11:06.260
understand, but I do expect you to listen, because this is happening in town. The reason
00:11:09.140
why the English Defence League has gone bang is because what I've seen is what's mirrored
00:11:14.440
across every working class community in this country. If Islam was to evolve, which it needs
00:11:18.680
to evolve, to fit in with Western democracy, which is clearly not. Clearly there's a problem.
00:11:23.980
Clearly the English Defence League is a phenomenon that swept this country. And with the issues
00:11:28.480
I'm talking about, Jeremy, if I ask you, do you know anyone that's hooked on heroin sold
00:11:31.940
to them by Muslim gangs? You probably don't. I do. Do you know any beautiful girls that
00:11:35.300
you went to school with that are now wearing a burqa that don't see their family? Probably
00:11:38.940
don't. I do. You're the only one who's been murdered by a Muslim gang. You probably don't.
00:11:42.300
I do. Do you know only 15 year old girls that you know that you've grown up with that have
00:11:45.580
been raped or pimped? You don't. So I don't expect you to understand the issues.
00:11:48.540
These are all personal issues of yours? Personal issues in towns and cities like mine that
00:11:53.640
are happening. And they're not happening with the Sikh community. They're not happening
00:11:56.560
with the Jewish community. And indeed they're not happening with most Muslims. No, they're
00:12:00.300
happening within the Islamic community. That's why I'm saying that it's an Islamic problem.
00:12:03.940
And when I'm just a simple person, so I'm just a normal person. But when I'm looking
00:12:07.580
at it, I have to look for where this hatred is coming from. So are you seriously suggesting
00:12:10.940
there aren't white drug dealers and there aren't white gangs? Of course I'm not. No, but
00:12:15.580
Sikh gangs or any other kind of? No, I'm not. But I'm saying some of these specific issues
00:12:19.380
are coming from the Islamic community. Solely the Islamic community. Terrorists wanting to
00:12:23.840
blow us up. Constant hostile activity towards our youth. All these problems. And from sitting
00:12:29.060
back, there's got to be something it's coming from. You see, none of the other communities
00:12:32.720
are spreading it. So we're a symptom of the problem. The English Defence League is symptom.
00:12:36.300
You're claiming that community is spreading it. Actually what we're talking about here.
00:12:40.620
Members of the community. Yes, exactly. As you could talk about members of the white community
00:12:44.920
doing all sorts of atrocious things. Yeah, not 24-year-old groups of 10 of them hanging
00:12:50.220
around outside school gates. You've never seen a white gang. And purposely targeting.
00:12:53.720
Never seen a white gang? Are we going to pretend that Muslim groups are not out there purposely
00:12:57.540
targeting our youth and pimping them? Are we going to pretend it's not happening?
00:13:00.340
You're not pretending white people aren't doing that?
00:13:02.180
Not in the same manner. Not in the same group. They're saying it's a cultural thing
00:13:07.220
which is going on within their community. So I grew up in Luton. I've seen all these problems.
00:13:13.300
And again, I'm going to reiterate again. That doesn't mean because some of the best lads I know
00:13:17.940
were Muslim lads at school. But when there's a divide, and I'll explain the story again.
00:13:23.380
When there's a divide, something very different happens with this. I remember being
00:13:27.940
coming out of a nightclub in Luton. And I remember seeing about six Muslims beating one man.
00:13:32.020
And it was my ex-wife said, stop them. Stop them. And I remember going in to pull them off him.
00:13:37.860
And then they attack you. And then as it's all going on, a Muslim friend of mine
00:13:43.300
stood on their side against us. And he didn't even know him. And afterwards I spoke to him.
00:13:48.420
And the whole town's going, there's all this chaos going on. It's us and them. The divide,
00:13:53.700
you can think your friends, it's us and them. When that divide line comes, it's us and them.
00:13:59.060
And that divide, which I never understood again. I'll tell you the moment I understood it.
00:14:04.180
But all this is going on. I'm seeing lots of changes in the town, seeing a level of ingression,
00:14:08.580
a level of hate, rapes, criminality. Fast forward to 2000 and to when I'm 19, I think,
00:14:15.540
I'm doing my apprenticeship. I left school. I left school at 16. I got an apprenticeship
00:14:21.300
as an aeronautical engineer at Britannia Airways. I went to work there. And I saw,
00:14:31.780
For people who don't know, Chechen terrorists took over a school. They held it, I think,
00:14:36.660
for one or two days. And then the Russian special forces went in and it was a bloodbath.
00:14:41.220
And for people who don't know, that's coming to the UK. I think that's...
00:14:44.740
So this happens. So Chechen terrorists take over the school. And I can still see it.
00:14:49.060
Yeah. Because, and this was my real, you know, everyone's had that moment that wakes them up.
00:14:53.620
Everyone's had that moment that I think a lot of people would wish they could just close their
00:14:56.740
eyes to it. I think once you're awake to this and you understand some of the problems,
00:14:59.940
you can't, you can't turn off from it. But they take over a school, not one Muslim, not two,
00:15:04.580
a whole massive gang of them, yeah, jihadists, take over a school. The parents then get phone calls.
00:15:10.100
So they know their children are in the school. They know terrorists have got their kids.
00:15:13.940
The parents come to the school gates. The military are there. The Russian army are there.
00:15:18.020
And the parents are outside. And the women are dropping on their knees, holding their heads,
00:15:22.260
as then you start hearing the Muslims butchering their kids. And they're killing them and butchering
00:15:26.340
them. And I remember watching it, going, what the hell is this? What the hell is going on here?
00:15:31.860
Yeah. So that was my moment to start looking at Islam. And two weeks after this,
00:15:37.460
I saw a group in Luton called Al-Majreddin. The leader, the second in command of that group was a
00:15:43.860
gentleman called Saif al-Islam, which translates as Sword of Islam. He's in a chicken shop in Luton and
00:15:49.220
he's doing an interview. And in that interview, he says, a attack like Beslam would be justified on
00:15:55.460
a British school. And this is when I'm probably, I don't know, I might have been 19.
00:16:01.140
Might have been 19. I can't remember. I was young. And I'll be on it. And from my background growing
00:16:06.180
up in Luton, as I said, Luton is a, so people understand the town. It's probably one of the
00:16:10.500
most poverty-stricken towns in the country. It's a rough and violent town. It has a lot of problems.
00:16:15.060
Take Islam out of the equation, it's still got a million problems, yeah? And growing up there,
00:16:21.300
I'd say chisels who you become. But I grew up and I looked up to my uncle's rule lead members
00:16:30.260
of Luton's football hooligan scene. So whilst I went to school, stayed out of trouble, I was
00:16:35.220
always in the group that was getting in trouble, the likely lads, but I never got involved in any
00:16:39.860
criminality, whereas a lot of the kids I grew up with did. My mum, probably because of my mum and
00:16:45.220
her parenting, my mum was strict, but I left, done my apprenticeship. But when I saw this, I was a young
00:16:51.220
lad full of testosterone and I used to go to the football element with Luton Town football scene.
00:16:56.180
And when I watched this Muslim say this, I thought, who's this man? And I start,
00:17:01.380
then I looked at him and I understood Al-Majreddin. Now remember, there wasn't a terrorist attack in
00:17:06.260
the UK till what, 2007 was it? So there hadn't been a terrorist attack. There hadn't been,
00:17:11.940
no one understood jihad. I look at this group, Al-Majreddin, who are now a prescribed terrorist
00:17:17.380
organisation, but at the time they weren't. And I look and they're holding weekly events in our
00:17:22.660
town centre outside Don Miller's bakery, outside the local bakery. So I looked at them and I looked
00:17:28.660
and they were a global caliphate network and their head office was on Biscuit Road, which is where we
00:17:34.500
from. And it's like, who the hell are this lot? And in my presentation at Oxford University, I showed,
00:17:40.020
so after September 11th, like when you went to your local shops, I don't know what it was like,
00:17:44.340
but at my local shops, there was not pictures of the 19 suicide bombers with Magnificent 19. It was
00:17:49.940
celebrated in Luton. It was celebrated at a local college. They held a march for the
00:17:53.860
anniversary of the first year through the town centre. So it was celebrated. September 11th was
00:17:57.620
celebrated. Openly. It was openly celebrating the terrorist attack.
00:18:01.140
Look at my presentation at Oxford University. I show the posters at my shop and all over the
00:18:07.300
phone boxes, all over the shops, Magnificent 19. It was celebrated. And so I looked at this group
00:18:13.540
and I went down the town centre the next Saturday. And I'll be honest, because on a Saturday
00:18:17.620
back then, as a young man, there might be 100 of us on a Saturday that would go to Luton football.
00:18:24.740
And we'd travel around the country going to football together as young men. And I looked
00:18:27.620
at this group and then when I went down there, there's a police officer there. And I said,
00:18:31.540
and they were openly like, now they try and hide it. They were openly recruiting to send people
00:18:37.060
to fight against our armed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were openly promoting jihad.
00:18:41.300
It was like, remember, this is at a time when Abu Hamza, hook, when he was holding his seminars
00:18:45.700
in Finsbury Park, when he had hundreds of men on the floor in the road calling for war against
00:18:51.060
Britain. Remember, they weren't getting nicked on hate speech or anything like that. They were just
00:18:54.500
allowed to do it. So as I looked at this group, I thought they've been operating, and Mass Network
00:19:00.340
had been operating for 20 years in my town. Which then explains, and I tried, I tried having this,
00:19:06.020
I sat down with Bimams when we started the English Defence League and explained to him,
00:19:10.020
your community, the Islamic community, is very entrenched. It's inward looking. You're all here.
00:19:16.100
Now within this little community, you've got, let's just say 200. We've got more. Let's say 200
00:19:22.980
pure radicals who are working 25 days, seven days a week. And they're working to promote jihad,
00:19:29.300
supremacy, intolerance against the non-Muslim community. So once they're operating all these years,
00:19:35.860
the explosions of violence that are coming out, and they weren't just coming out onto us in the
00:19:39.380
streets. Remember, 7-7 bomb plot, they picked up their bombs in Luton. A fertiliser bomb plot,
00:19:43.780
come out of Luton. Stockholm bomber, come out of Luton. Luton was named by the CIA as the epicenter
00:19:50.420
of terrorist atrocities and the planning for Europe. That's Luton. So when people are saying,
00:19:55.780
I said, well, you know these lads, like the ones who were killed fighting for ISIS,
00:19:59.540
the ones who, Saifel Islam, who's done jail for terrorism, Roger Ibrahim, the ginger convert,
00:20:05.060
I used to hang around with him as a kid. So we're not talking about, when you read about terrorists,
00:20:09.060
to some people, this is a million miles away. I went to school with that mug. I queue up next to
00:20:13.860
him in the bank. His sister lives around the corner from me. So this isn't a million miles
00:20:18.340
away from us. So when they, when in 2004, in 2004, I went downtown center, police were there.
00:20:25.140
I said, what is this? How are they allowed to do this? She said, it's free speech. I said, okay,
00:20:30.180
let's see if it's free speech next week. And then the next week I organized my first ever protest,
00:20:34.580
which was called Ban the Luton Taliban. That's what I called it. And...
00:20:38.340
Tommy, can we pause there for one second? Because one thing that I wanted to ask you about,
00:20:42.580
um, and I honestly, I'm not coming at it from a place of judgment, but I do think it's an
00:20:46.900
important part of the conversation. You mentioned the football hooligans, right? Which you were part
00:20:50.980
of. A lot of people, it's a very, it's not a uniquely British thing now that you get these
00:20:55.860
ultras in Italy, you get them in Russia. Yeah, what that's, but, but it is kind of to most people who
00:21:03.300
don't know about it, they really don't know about it. Right? So can you explain the firms and the
00:21:09.060
hooligans? Because you say you go around the country supporting Luton, but it's more than that,
00:21:13.300
right? It's young lads who like to, to get to a football game and have a fight with others,
00:21:18.180
right? Is that fair? That's fair. If you're someone who values free inquiry and independent
00:21:22.820
thinking, which let's be honest, is why you're probably watching trigonometry, then our sponsor
00:21:27.540
Venice AI is the tool for you. Here's a hot take. AI is exploding right now. But seriously,
00:21:34.160
most of the tools out there are just clones with slightly different skins. Venice AI,
00:21:38.820
is different. It offers uncensored AI chat, images, and coding. Why should a team of programmers at
00:21:45.220
these leading AI apps be the ones who get to decide what is and isn't okay for you to think?
00:21:49.700
Whether you're researching topics that make other platforms nervous, or you're just sick of being
00:21:53.940
told what you can and can't ask, Venice gives you the freedom to explore without limits. No political
00:21:59.700
filtering, no condescending footnotes, just powerful AI, fast. We've tried it ourselves, and if
00:22:05.380
you're someone who thinks about these things, you'll notice the difference immediately.
00:22:09.220
By the way, if you're in the UK, thanks to the new Online Safety Act, Venice isn't allowed to offer a
00:22:18.020

and see what you've been missing. And now, back to the show.
00:22:57.220
Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything, like packing a spare stick. I like to
00:23:02.420
be prepared. That's why I remember 988 Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know,
00:23:08.340
just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a trained responder,
00:23:13.780
anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada.
00:23:20.420
That's fair, which is going to sound moronic. Yeah. So to most people watching this, they're
00:23:23.700
going to think, idiots. Yeah. Absolutely idiots. But remember, I'm 42 years old now and I'm a father
00:23:30.260
of three. I was 20. Yeah. I was 18, 17, 16. Young men. Yeah. Young men finding their identity together,
00:23:36.820
which I'd say I found my identity going to football. I found it. Yeah. And when I say I found it,
00:23:41.140
I look at the problem in Lewin and I look at the erosion of our identity as young English men,
00:23:48.100
it's gone. And I'll give an example. When it's St. Patrick's Day in Lewin, there's a three-day
00:23:52.980
festival for St. Patrick's Day. When it's St. Lucian Day, yeah, we have a massive tents, park,
00:23:59.620
fairgrounds, everything. Yeah. When it's Eid, the whole place is locked off, everything. They've got
00:24:05.220
fairs, they've got everything. When it's St. George's Day, it's banned. Yeah. So we're made to feel,
00:24:11.060
ashamed anyway. I remember it was St. George's Day and the local, the school,
00:24:15.380
Icknild High School. Now, do you remember the Trojan horse plot where the Muslims have
00:24:19.540
infiltrated the schools and got on the boards to change? No. So what's his name? Michael Gove
00:24:24.180
was leading on it. He'd done very well trying to expose it. So the Trojan horse plot. So
00:24:29.140
the best head teacher in the school in Icknild, he come out and the girl come in wearing the full
00:24:33.620
niqab and he sent her home. And Sherry Blair represented her. They sued the school. Yeah. And when
00:24:40.100
they sued the school, Anne was redeemed because that girl was, which Sherry Blair represented her,
00:24:45.060
but that girl was the sister of one of the main terrorists in Luton, one of the main extremists
00:24:47.940
in Luton. So then they protest outside school gates and they put pressure on the school. And in the
00:24:52.340
end, Mr. Kelly, I think his name was, who was a great head teacher, one of the best at that school,
00:24:56.740
they ousted him. He had to go because he stood up against the niqab in the school. It's insane.
00:25:00.900
But this was going on, that same school then, a few years later, when it's St. George's Day,
00:25:05.620
they told all the, we've just seen the recent thing with the British Culture Day where the girl
00:25:09.140
got sent home in the Union dress. Did you see this? Yes.
00:25:12.980
That's nothing new, right? So young children in the school in Luton, they sent out letters saying,
00:25:18.180
if anyone brings in the emblem of St. George, on St. George's Day, you'll be sent home. So kids,
00:25:23.940
our parents sent them with just a little pin badge with St. George's flag on it. You're going home.
00:25:28.180
Yeah. Because my mates, kids were at school at school time. So I rang the school. When
00:25:32.500
Pakistan won the cricket, they had a massive celebration in the school. Pakistani flags
00:25:36.820
everywhere. It's our national day. What message are you sending to the children? Now, and all this,
00:25:42.180
the reason why I'm explaining this, because it plays a part, I guess, into us as young men feeling
00:25:46.740
like we don't have an identity in the town. Now, on a Saturday, we'd come together from that estate,
00:25:51.780
that estate, that estate, that estate as young English lads, and we'd go to Luton together and form
00:25:56.580
a brotherhood where we'd travel the country. And yeah, I think I'm quite tribal. I think we are,
00:26:01.780
as men and humans, we're tribal. If you go to certain places in the Amazon now, I bet one tribe
00:26:07.380
fights the other tribe. For no reason at all, just they fight. And that's what it was like growing
00:26:11.540
up in Luton. Our school would fight that school every week. There'd be fights. Our town, and I guess
00:26:17.140
that developed onto our town would fight that town. Our football club would fight that football club.
00:26:21.860
Now, so people understand, because it does sound moronic, speaking about it now, lads go to
00:26:28.100
football. And even if they're not fighting, it's giving them a sense of identity. It's a culture.
00:26:33.140
It's a culture. They're having a good day out. And when men are going to football and fighting,
00:26:38.180
they're not pulling out knives. They're not, you'll get 20 lads, 20 lads in a back street,
00:26:43.060
and they're turning up and having a punch up for each other. Again, I get it. If you're watching it,
00:26:47.220
you think it sounds moronic. But unfortunately, in a town like Luton, that was plagued by Islamic
00:26:52.020
gangs taking over everything, all these migrant gangs taking over everything. Well, on a Saturday,
00:26:57.780
there's 100 English lads on a Saturday. So I used that 100 English lads in 2004 to tell this group,
00:27:05.700
Al-Majra Deen, you're not in the town anymore, lads. And we turned up, and it was called Ban
00:27:10.660
the Luton Taliban. Now, I made leaflets at that time, and I actually went. So before I've done my Oxford
00:27:16.100
Union presentation. Tommy, can I just stop you there? Just to make it clear for people,
00:27:18.740
when you say English lads, it's not white lads, it's white and black lads. No, white and black.
00:27:22.180
Yeah, I don't see. Because people could see. People think, no, I don't see colour. White,
00:27:26.980
black and Asian lads. Yeah. Yeah. We'll seek lads in the group. So I don't see colour anyway.
00:27:33.060
And I've never, sometimes journalists have said that when they've come here and said,
00:27:36.100
bloody hell, there's a lot. I don't see that. I've just grown up in that. White,
00:27:39.460
English or minority in Luton. I've just grown up with that. I'm not bothered.
00:27:43.140
But then, so we'd all come together, and we'd done this demonstration. And I went,
00:27:48.740
when I was doing the Oxford Union presentation, I went into the library. And I went back through
00:27:53.380
all the old newspapers, because stupidly, I stood bare faced with this leaflet. I made leaflets.
00:27:58.900
I went around the whole town and basically said on Saturday, we're coming out against this lot,
00:28:03.220
yeah? Now in the leaflets, my rhetoric has never changed. We're sitting here now.
00:28:07.460
Now, the country's, I think, shifted, totally shifted. And my rhetoric's the same as it was
00:28:15.380
in 2004. So my first demonstration, which I dug the leaflet, they basically put the leaflet that
00:28:20.340
I made on the front page of the Luton News, the newspaper. So I went into the library, got it,
00:28:24.100
to show people at Oxford University. Here's what I said in 2004. Now in 2004, what I said,
00:28:29.460
whites and blacks are being racially and religiously targeted in this town, yeah?
00:28:34.260
They're being attacked violently. The Pakistani gangs, and I named the gang, they're called the
00:28:38.900
Gambinos. Very original lads for Pakistan. But they're gangs called the Gambinos. And they're
00:28:44.900
a hundred strong Pakistani mob from the Muslim community who use heroin. And what I said is,
00:28:49.860
they're using heroin as a weapon against us, yeah? Because they are, right? They're coming
00:28:54.020
into our states with heroin, and they're destroying the states. And in fact, back in, when I was a few
00:28:58.900
years younger, there were little riots in an estate in Luton. And Muslims come from all over
00:29:01.940
the country for these riots, yeah? But it was one estate fighting against them. And that started
00:29:06.180
because they brought the heroin in the estate. They damaged families, and people tried to resist
00:29:10.500
it, yeah? But the police crushed the English lads, basically, at that time. But as this is going on,
00:29:15.060
so the leaflet said, whites and blacks are being religiously and racially targeted. So I named the
00:29:20.420
Gambinos in 2004, and I say that they use heroin to prostitute our youth to then use them in
00:29:27.860
pedophilic gangs. That's grooming. That's now labeled as grooming. This was 2004. And I said,
00:29:34.580
if we know the shops that are doing it, and we know which men are doing it, and we know which
00:29:38.420
businesses are doing it, because they all use the businesses. You know, this is now common practice.
00:29:42.100
We know it's taxi ranks, it's takeaways, but we've known that the whole time growing up.
00:29:46.740
We're looking at it thinking, well, look what they're doing, yeah? Nothing's happening. You don't
00:29:50.580
crush them. You crush us all the time. So at that time, I made the leaflet, and I stood up,
00:29:55.220
and about, I don't know, probably 200 lads turned up. 200 young lads turned up at that day,
00:30:00.500
and they weren't there. The extremist mob didn't turn up that day. I thought it's worked. It's
00:30:05.700
worked, yeah? They're not here. But then it didn't work, because I'd done it bare-faced,
00:30:10.180
as Stephen Yaxley, Lennon, yeah? I stood up, and I'd done it. I read out the leaflet on the town hall,
00:30:16.100
and boy, I was expecting, I don't know what I was expecting, but the fallout from that, probably because
00:30:20.980
I probably brought a lot of heat on the gangs, because I named them, yeah? And this was 2004,
00:30:26.820
and I'll show it at Oxford University's presentation. Fast forward 2007, the Daily Mirror run a national
00:30:31.540
story on chemical jihad, and they named the gang in Luton, who are working with the extremist terrorist
00:30:37.620
groups, funding them, yeah? So they're working hand in hand. The street gangs work with terrorists,
00:30:42.420
which is why when I come out against this, all the young little Pakistani mobs, I was the target
00:30:47.460
after this. I was the target, and if I wanted to go out in the town for the next few years,
00:30:51.540
I had to go out and 20 lads. So I learned very quickly, but I also had a lesson growing up in my
00:30:55.940
life with the Pakistani community, that if you shut, or the Muslim community, if you showed them any
00:31:02.260
weakness, they're going to run all over you. It's like when I started, so if you showed them any fear,
00:31:06.580
they're going to run all over you. There's only one language I understand, there's only one thing
00:31:09.380
they respect, they respect, and it's strength, not cowardice, not appeasement. They actually respect,
00:31:15.220
I have Muslims now shake my hand in the town who don't like me. I don't like you, Tommy. I respect
00:31:19.780
you. You stand on your values. So this is 2004. I organized this protest in my name,
00:31:26.660
and the fallout from it comes at me big. They smashed my mum's house up. I was targeted by them.
00:31:32.420
We had, I'll be just being honest, as young football lads, we had clashes with their gangs
00:31:36.740
then after that for years, for years, yeah? But it got to a sort of truth's point after a few years,
00:31:42.660
because there was clashes either side. It got to a truce point, and I knew some of their gangs,
00:31:48.340
because I went to school with some of them, yeah? But it's like, no, you're not, you're not,
00:31:52.180
you're absolutely taking the piss. And I've seen so much in the, and I'm only giving you a little,
00:31:57.860
little two seconds of growing up in Luton, of what I've seen. All the problems and the wrongdoings,
00:32:02.820
and the, and in Oxford University, I showed there were 68 attacks against, against non-Muslim
00:32:08.900
houses in the, in the area of Bury Park. You've got to watch, if you watch the presentation,
00:32:12.740
you'll see, now the Howards were 88 years old, an old white couple. They don't, they don't repair
00:32:17.540
their windows anymore. You know, they did, they stopped repairing their windows, because they
00:32:20.100
just get smashed again. Palmer, who's rest in peace, because I know the lady died recently,
00:32:24.500
but I know her son, her son's one of the most respected black men in Luton, yeah? Now,
00:32:29.220
and I grew up looking up to the man, yeah? Now he, at that time, his mum's house had been attacked,
00:32:35.140
and the police done nothing. And the reason they're getting attacked, because members of the Muslim
00:32:38.660
community wanted them out, because there were non-Muslims living in the Muslim community.
00:32:42.020
Now there's, there's actually national news stories on this back then. And when we sat,
00:32:45.780
when we went to football, our football hooligan liaison officer, because every football club has a
00:32:50.340
officer whose job it is to understand the hooligans, know who they are, get intelligence. He pulled us aside
00:32:55.620
and said, she's going to tell you honestly, you need 200 men down there. He goes, they're not going
00:32:59.700
to listen to you. You need 200 men. That's our police telling us, nothing's going to happen here,
00:33:04.820
yeah? Unless you get men together. And there was a game against Watchdale. This was going back then,
00:33:08.900
as all these attacks were going on. And about two, three hundred Luton lads come out, and there was a
00:33:12.980
bit of trouble that day. But it was in response to the attacks, the continued attacks. Then the police
00:33:18.020
launched investigations. Then the police started dealing with it. Only then, because they don't otherwise. So this
00:33:24.580
has gone on, 2004, first demonstration. 2009, in between this period, I was an aircraft engineer.
00:33:31.620
I'm then now, by 2009, I'm running a successful plumbing business. I've got a sunbed shop in the
00:33:39.460
town centre. And between me and my wife, I've got seven properties. And I'm doing well. And I had done
00:33:44.100
what everyone else is trying to do. My passion was making money. I had enough money, get out of Luton,
00:33:49.380
like everyone else does. Get out, run, yeah? Get into a village, get into a nice area,
00:33:54.260
set up my family. I had my first child. And then first child, 2008. And then the soldiers
00:34:00.420
homecoming parade in Luton. Soldiers are, it's a Tuesday morning. Soldiers are given the freedom
00:34:05.220
of the city. And again, to make it personal, because it is personal. As Lutonians, it's personal,
00:34:11.460
because it's our town. Every time you hear our town's name, it's due to terrorism. We're fed up
00:34:15.060
of that. Every football away fans sing about our town being full of terrorists. Everything's
00:34:21.060
about terrorism. And then they attacked our soldiers. And in that regiment, which was the
00:34:26.340
Royal Anglians, Scott Muntridge was 26 and he died. He's from our estate. Michael Swain
00:34:31.460
was 19 and lost his legs. And when they've done that, they're then attacked by the same group,
00:34:37.060
Al-Majreddin, that we've already been confronting for years. They're attacked by them. So 2009 comes,
00:34:44.260
and when they're attacked, just to understand, I remember, and bearing in mind at this point,
00:34:49.460
I know who this group are. These are jihadists. These are the Nazis of the millennium. That's
00:34:54.580
who they are. And they're free to do what they want. No one's stopping them. Councils aren't
00:34:58.260
stopping them. Police aren't stopping them. In fact, they're letting them. And that day,
00:35:01.540
I stood in the town, it was Tuesday morning, stood there with my cousin, got down the town hall
00:35:05.700
to show respect for the armed forces, and saw police everywhere. Too many police. What's going
00:35:10.100
on? Saw 30 niqabs all together. Then started spotting the main Muslim radical lads, Saifel
00:35:16.580
Islam, Ibrahim. Started looking and thinking, right, what's going on? And then the police took them
00:35:21.940
through the town hall. They opened up the doors of the town hall, and they took a group of 20 of them
00:35:26.900
and walked them through the town hall. So I'm watching it thinking, what's going on? They walked
00:35:31.140
them through the town hall. So as the soldiers marched down here, which is the back of the town hall,
00:35:35.300
they put the Muslim protesters this far from the soldiers, and let them attack them. They spat in
00:35:42.340
one of the lads' mums faces, soldiers' mums faces. They shouted, butchers of Basra are baby killers.
00:35:47.220
They shouted all this stuff, and done this protest. And there was probably 20 of them there, 60 of them
00:35:51.940
down here, by the town, by Don Miller's bakery, because that was their little meeting, which was
00:35:55.860
where they always are. 60 of them there, but the police actually stopped, because some of our lads got
00:36:01.140
arrested on that day. The police actually stopped 330 of them coming into Luton, off the motorway.
00:36:05.860
So imagine there was 500 of them. Imagine the damage they would have done that day. But this
00:36:09.380
story went worldwide about Luton, and it was that day. And bearing in mind, I'm getting on my life
00:36:14.580
by this point. I'm doing all right. And I remember speaking to my cousin, and speaking to some lads
00:36:18.660
after that, and said, we can't let them do this. Like, they can't get away with this, because if they do,
00:36:25.780
what's next? And we've seen the progression. That same group that attacked the soldiers is the same
00:36:30.500
group that burnt poppies on Armatist Day. It's the same group that Michael Adobalajos was part of,
00:36:35.700
that went from attacking the soldiers. One of the Lee Rigby killers, right?
00:36:38.900
Attacking the soldiers on the street, burning poppies, beheading soldiers. I made a video about
00:36:44.180
Lee Rigby's killer two years before we got, before we done that. We showed him in a video. Here he is
00:36:49.220
in Harrow. And then, so in 2009, this happens. We know who they are. And we said, no, like,
00:36:57.140
enough's enough on this issue. Enough is enough. And do you know what we've done? And that's why
00:37:01.460
I kept asking people, what would you do? This is your town. Anyone watching this? You live in this
00:37:06.580
town. You've seen all these problems. There's a total two-tier policing. Now, two-tier policing is
00:37:11.300
part of national vocabulary. Yeah. But it wasn't. But it was for us. We've always seen it. So do you
00:37:17.460
know what I've done? I organised a protest. But before we'd done any protest, I set up a petition,
00:37:22.580
got three and a half thousand signatures, and I approached the council. And the petition said,
00:37:27.060
ASBO, anti-social behaviour orders, which is what they use. So in our estates, if two kids are
00:37:32.740
continually causing trouble together, they'll give them an ASBO from being together. And then they'll
00:37:37.140
give them a perimeter around the shop so they can't hang around, so that normal people can go
00:37:41.220
to the shop without loads of little hoodies causing mayhem. Yeah? So what we ask for is implement these
00:37:46.340
orders against this group, so that when my mum, or my auntie, or any of our families go down to
00:37:52.260
the town centre, they're not being accosted, recruited, vulnerable men aren't being recruited,
00:37:56.820
because the Stockholm bomber was an innocent Iraqi Muslim who come to Newton University
00:38:00.660
from Sweden, and on Freshers' Week, which is when these groups are active in the universities,
00:38:05.380
he was recruited. And he was on his own. And then he'd end up going and blowing himself up.
00:38:10.020
This is a process of grooming, of radicalisation. So we'd done this petition and said, look, stop them,
00:38:14.900
ban them. The council won't even meet with us. The council just ignored it. And when they ignored it,
00:38:21.220
then I said, right, okay. Why do you think they ignored it, Tommy?
00:38:23.940
They're so scared. Do you know, they've never said no. At this point, I'm looking at them,
00:38:27.460
take them through a town hall, and think, you've never told them no. Like, if I say now,
00:38:32.580
we're going to protest outside East London Mosque, what are the police going to say?
00:38:35.860
No, you can't. Yeah? You can't come outside the mosque on a Friday afternoon,
00:38:39.300
because it's going to cause mayhem. Well, you can't stand in front of our armed forces. If you want
00:38:43.460
to protest those soldiers who were peacemakers, they weren't at war with the War Angler and Regiment,
00:38:48.020
they were training their armies. Yeah? You want to protest that group, go to the government. Yeah?
00:38:54.260
Protest the council. Whatever you want to do. Spitting in their faces on their return home
00:38:59.300
tour of duty. So we were angry, really angry. So I organised, and I made leaflets again.
00:39:07.460
And I said to my cousin, and it's only because there was two of us, because I never...
00:39:11.620
We shook hands. Because you can't go into this one foot. We knew that. Yeah?
00:39:15.780
We can't do this half-eyed. We're either in it, or we're not. And next is a soldier's funeral. I knew
00:39:22.100
that. They've done this today. If they're allowed to carry on. And then there was big tensions in
00:39:27.220
Luton at that time. Big tensions. Like, there was problems going off against them, and against us.
00:39:32.580
And it was like, there was so much trouble going on. But, and then I remember, because there was a,
00:39:39.700
I think there was a, the Salafist mosque in the town, which is the old synagogue. Yeah?
00:39:46.740
Which is where the Islam, which is where the Stockholm Mama went. So as I drove, when I was younger,
00:39:52.980
my Muslim mates would say, that's the problem. And as we're driving the car, that one there,
00:39:58.100
the Yaks, that one there. I said, what? He said, that's the terrorist mosque. So we knew locally,
00:40:02.420
that's the terrorist mosque. But when all this blew up, the main leader of the terrorist mosque,
00:40:07.380
Khadir Bhask was his name, become a chair of the Luton in Harmony programme. So they set up a programme
00:40:13.540
to try and counter our protests, called it Luton in Harmony, and brought the main terrorists and sat
00:40:18.020
him around the tables, one of the men, called him for Harmony. We organised, I organised my first protest
00:40:23.540
over this issue. And we set up a group called the United People of Luton. And we turned up to
00:40:30.020
protest that day. And it was bank holiday. There's two bank holidays in May. So we've done the first
00:40:34.100
bank holiday on the Sunday. Now, we were angry, but it was a community. It wasn't just football lads,
00:40:40.340
because this was an issue that everyone was upset about. So it was, my aunties were there,
00:40:45.060
families were there, kids were there. And I paid the cameraman £450 to come and film everything.
00:40:52.020
And the reason I've done this is because I understand two-tier policing. I've seen it my
00:40:55.060
whole life. So I know what's coming, yeah? The minute we try and come out. So we've turned up,
00:41:00.020
the cameraman's turned up with us, they stop us in the street, put their hands in our pockets,
00:41:03.940
make us take our shoes off, search us, what's your name? And as they're doing this, I said,
00:41:08.580
you didn't do this to them. On that soldiers' homecoming parade, you did not do this to them.
00:41:14.260
I know you didn't, because I watched it. Why didn't you put your cameras in their faces?
00:41:17.300
Why didn't you ask them their names? You just walked them through, yeah? So why are you doing this to us now?
00:41:21.860
We're coming out as a community, and we're trying to get to the war memorial, which is at the other
00:41:25.540
end of the town. And the police kettled us for three hours. They locked us in at the front,
00:41:29.620
locked us in at the back. They come through on a horse, knocked out my mate's teeth,
00:41:33.140
the police did. A little black lad called Isaac took his teeth out. So they kettled. My auntie had
00:41:38.980
to urinate in the street. I remember standing there as women were urinating in the street,
00:41:42.100
thinking, well, Muslim women wouldn't have to urinate in the street. You would never dare
00:41:47.220
lock Muslims in a group like this, yeah? And I went back again to previous protests,
00:41:51.620
because I'd been following this group. They held an anti-Gaza protest, yeah? Which is just a pro-Hamas
00:41:57.140
protest. And in this protest, there's about thousands, thousands coming out of the Muslim
00:42:03.140
community. And it's led by this group. They're leading it. Safer Islam, all the terrorists,
00:42:08.260
they're at the front of it, yeah? They've organised it. And they're going, Khayyuba, Khayyuba, Khayyuba.
00:42:12.180
And I remember thinking, I wonder what that is. So I started looking at it. And Khayyuba was where
00:42:16.580
Mohammed beheaded 600 Jews, raped the leader of the Jewish tribe's wife, married her that night.
00:42:21.860
So I started, I'd gone through a process of understanding a lot of this stuff,
00:42:26.180
when most people weren't understanding it. So I've become knowledgeable on it, thinking,
00:42:30.340
OK, I know who they are. I know what that is. I know what's going on. So we held our protest,
00:42:34.500
and the police just locked us in. And they locked us in, didn't let us get to the warm rule.
00:42:38.180
So I think, will you let them get to the warm rule? And now you won't let us. So first of all,
00:42:43.380
we're angry with them, the Muslim community, and the extremists within it. And after this,
00:42:48.180
it's become more about civil rights. It's become more about, no, you're not doing this to us.
00:42:52.580
So the next, and then, after that first protest, they come to my house, the police did,
00:42:57.540
they raided 14 poppies, yeah? And what they did is, cleverly, which is what they're still doing now,
00:43:02.180
it's their tactic, is to put fear into the community, from speaking out. It's what
00:43:06.100
Keir Starmer just done by weaponising the judiciary after the riots, by Lucy Connolly,
00:43:09.940
Peter Lynch, me. They try and put fear, set as our pool by people, to make sure everyone
00:43:15.460
else shuts up. So when they come in our houses, they went to my mum's, and anyone who got nicked,
00:43:19.700
I wasn't at home, so I didn't get nicked. Anyone who got nicked got given bail conditions,
00:43:23.860
not to enter Luton Town Centre, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for three months.
00:43:28.020
So then we sat down after, and said, well, that's what we wanted for them. So rather than
00:43:34.100
give it to the terrorists, they've given it to us. And everyone was arrested on public
00:43:37.860
ordered offences, yeah? No one got prosecuted. So these were just, and this become a tactic of
00:43:42.580
the state, this was bullshit arrest to then enforce bail conditions to limit and prohibit your freedoms
00:43:50.260
from protesting and standing up. So then comes the next protest three weeks later, and this is what
00:43:54.580
changed it for us. Because I turned up that morning, I was wanted, as were all the other
00:43:59.460
lads who were banned, and I turned up with 100 balaclavas. And we met at a pub, and it was football
00:44:05.540
lads. And we met up, I gave everyone balaclavas, we all had t-shirts that said, it was a Luton logo,
00:44:10.660
with no surrender to Al-Qaeda. We met up, and again, I bought the cameraman. And I bought the cameraman,
00:44:17.940
I rang the police phenomenously, and said, stay out of the way today. If you, and I'm just giving you
00:44:24.260
a warning, because if you could have lit a match and threw it in the air, I think Luton would have
00:44:28.260
just gone, it was ready, yeah? I've never seen anything like it. And I've grown up in the town
00:44:32.980
my whole life. And I remember at the time, after the first demonstration, I had Pakistani lads
00:44:38.260
ringing me up saying, yaks, these are terrorists, bruv. You're not messing with the street gangs.
00:44:43.300
You're upsetting everyone here. I remember saying, yeah, well, there's 500 of us. Because at the time,
00:44:47.700
there was 500 of us. I said, there's 500 Luton lads, and everyone's had enough of it. We've had
00:44:52.500
enough of the terrorism. We've had enough of the rapes. We've had enough of the heroin.
00:44:55.780
We've had enough. So the second demonstration comes. Balaclavas are given out. We all then
00:45:00.180
go into the town centre. Police attempt to stop it. And I warned them at the time, I said,
00:45:04.580
don't try and stop it, because the town's going to burn. I'm telling you now, just let people get
00:45:09.060
to the War Memorial. Let us have our day at the War Memorial. And they tried to stop it. And then there
00:45:13.300
was running battles through the town. And then the images that then took this to international
00:45:17.300
recognition was men wearing balaclavas with England flags on our town hall steps,
00:45:23.700
which was then seen, which I understand why it was seen. I then took the video of Luton's
00:45:29.380
lads that day. And I went on messaging boards around the country, which is football chat forums
00:45:34.580
at the time. This was before the rise of social media, really. But every football club has a chat
00:45:38.780
forum. So Millwalls, football lads, Tottenham's football lads, Chelsea's football lads, they all have
00:45:44.340
their own forums where they talk. And then put the video up and said Luton are making a stand,
00:45:48.740
basically, against this. And that, and people talked about the tactics at the EDL. This was
00:45:54.820
the united people of Luton. And on that first demonstration, when we all met up, when they
00:45:59.700
kettled us with the second one, I remember we sat in, it was called Brooksy's in the town centre.
00:46:03.860
And I walked in and some big white skinhead lad come in. He said, and he sat down, he goes,
00:46:07.700
are you the organiser? I said, yeah, this is all Luton's lads. And he goes, well, we've heard about
00:46:11.540
what's going on. There's 30 National Front getting off the train station. I said,
00:46:15.220
fucking great. I said, because we're going to smash their heads in lads. And he's like,
00:46:18.740
what? I said, look around this pub. When the National Front come into this town,
00:46:22.340
they're going to get bad. They're going to get run out. And they did get chased out.
00:46:26.020
Tell people about the National Front, because this is one of the big issues with you,
00:46:29.860
Tommy, isn't it, for people who are not educated about this issue, is a lot of people call you
00:46:36.100
far right. And in doing that, now we can talk about the different aspects of your behaviour,
00:46:42.740
some of the street violence and all that, which is an issue, and we'll talk about it.
00:46:46.580
But when they say far right, what they really mean, what they really mean, I think, is that
00:46:52.500
you're racist. You hate black people. You hate brown people. You hate Jews, etc. And the National
00:46:58.100
Front are people who actually are all those things. National Front are all those things. They're Nazis.
00:47:01.860
They hate everyone. And there's never been the presence of those sorts of people within the town
00:47:05.700
of Newman. So people say that about you, but what you're saying is you have always actually fought
00:47:13.060
with and against those people. The whole time. And in fact... Why? Why don't you like the National
00:47:18.260
Front? They're the same as the radical jihadists. It's exactly the same. In fact, they're now coming
00:47:22.580
together, aren't they? They're now joining together. Hypnosis gets a bad rap, but it's not a gimmick.
00:47:27.780
It's a legitimate therapeutic tool backed by research. And when it comes to weight loss,
00:47:32.100
it can be a game changer. Hypnotio is a self-hypnotherapy app that helps you break bad
00:47:37.620
eating patterns by working at the subconscious level where the real habits live. It's for people
00:47:42.580
who are done with willpower-only plans. Hypnotio helps you tackle emotional eating,
00:47:47.700
stress-related cravings, and food anxiety using proven techniques that reduce cortisol,
00:47:52.820
improve portion control, and build long-term habits. All in a way that fits into real life,
00:47:57.780
from your phone, tablet, or your computer. Clinical studies show that users lost twice as
00:48:02.260
much weight as those using traditional diets alone. And 94% maintained that weight loss more
00:48:07.700
effectively over time. It's not about hacks. It's about fixing the deeper programming. Hypnosis-based
00:48:13.380
programs reduce BMI and emotional eating significantly compared to standard diets. So what are you waiting for?

In fact, they're now coming together, aren't they? They're now joining together.
00:48:42.100
They're now joining together. It's mad. You now see Nick Griffin sitting down with radical Dili Hussain.
00:48:47.220
They both want supremacy. He wants white supremacy. He wants Islamic supremacy. And here they are
00:48:51.220
together, they're basically all coming together just because they hate Jews, and everything's
00:48:54.020
the Jews' fault, yeah? That's what's brought them together now. But at this time,
00:48:58.020
that, and our first, if you dig up the first Luton, United people of Luton, we had NF go to hell on our
00:49:06.500
banners. Because we thought, you know, when you try and do something like this, we knew it would
00:49:10.340
attract certain types. So we made it very clear. When we had our, so this is Luton. We've had these
00:49:16.260
two issues in Luton. All hell's going off. We then watch our, and if you look at the footage, go on.
00:49:21.460
Luton Protest was a YouTube channel, and it's called the United People of Luton. You'll see
00:49:26.020
the first ever protest. And you'll see hundreds of us. And we're standing outside the town hall
00:49:29.860
cheering, we are Luton Town. Everyone's trying. And then I see the leader of the council saying,
00:49:34.500
all these outsiders have come into our town. It's like, we're not outsiders, it's our town.
00:49:39.300
It's our town. And they're taking a piss in the town. So this is all going on.
00:49:46.340
We're going to, which is great. And we want, we've got loads of time as we discussed. So
00:49:50.820
we're just going to jump in every now and again, because there's little bits that we want to.
00:49:54.100
Um, I, I do remember seeing somewhere. I, I haven't fact-checked this to correct me,
00:49:58.580
but something about you joining the BNP or something. What is the truth of that?
00:50:02.900
So 2004, I joined the British National Party. So 2004, which was...
00:50:06.100
Because they are basically the continuation of the national front.
00:50:12.980
So 2004 was when I held the first protest by Luton to Alabama.
00:50:16.660
Now that time, that's when I started going down the rabbit hole, looking online,
00:50:21.220
And to be honest, the only people talking about it was a group called the BNP. Right.
00:50:24.500
The BNP, then we're talking about it and they set, and then we, I think I messaged,
00:50:28.980
and they set up a meeting at a pub called the King Harry pub. And this is documented by Searchlight.
00:50:33.700
Searchlight was a far left magazine. Now Searchlight documented is when the MiGs fell out with the BNP.
00:50:39.780
The MiGs is Luton's football hooligan element. It's called the Men in Gear. Yeah.
00:50:43.380
So we've turned up to this meeting where this is the group that's talking about these issues.
00:50:47.940
Even back in 2004, they were talking about the grooming, you know, and rapes in Bradford
00:50:51.460
and things like that. So they turn up to the meeting and we all turn up and they say,
00:50:54.820
oh, he can't come in, he can't come in, he can't come in. It's like, what?
00:50:58.180
They said, non-whites can't join. So you're fucking joking.
00:51:02.820
So at that point, we said, well, you can't have a meeting in the pub.
00:51:05.460
In fact, you can't operate in any pubs. You can't operate in any pubs in Luton. Yeah.
00:51:09.140
Because that's what Luton is. Our problem, which was my, and you know, when you went on the BNP website
00:51:13.780
at that time, it had 10 points. TV's for old age pensioners. Every point, every point you'd go,
00:51:21.060
I agree with that. I agree with that. I agree with that. Now, at this point, bearing in mind
00:51:24.660
before this, I just, I didn't know the difference between left wing, right wing, and I didn't care.
00:51:29.460
Because I was just, I was a working class kid on a building site, earning money, didn't give a
00:51:34.340
shit about politics, understood Islam, what was going on, but never ventured into politics.
00:51:38.580
I didn't understand there was left wing newspapers and right wing newspapers until I sat at the EDL.
00:51:42.420
And then I got a shock of my life, absolute shock of my life. And I went through this learning curve.
00:51:46.740
And this is kind of before the internet really is what the internet is now. So you can't just like
00:51:54.100
The way to get your message across was get on the street.
00:51:56.420
So you turn up to this meeting of the BNP, you realize they're racist, but you still joined?
00:52:00.900
No, I joined at that point as soon as I come online. Now there was a leaked list. There's
00:52:04.740
a leaked BNP membership list. Oh, you joined online.
00:52:08.260
But then when I realized, so the leaked list shows the membership, say from 2002 to 2008.
00:52:13.300
I joined in 2004 for one year. So I joined up with a year's membership. Don't rejoin.
00:52:17.620
You can see the leaked list. There's no rejoining. Yeah. So at that point, it's like, right,
00:52:21.380
you lot, fuck off. We'll do it our way. Yeah. Which is as, as lads in Luton, we'll do it our way.
00:52:26.500
We organize our protests then. We set up, set up the first protests, had the, had the two protests.
00:52:31.620
Then after they attacked our soldiers, and this still for me is still insane. Yeah. They attacked
00:52:37.620
our soldiers. And then I look online and I'm following this group. They're holding the Islamic
00:52:42.020
Roadshow. So we're looking at them. They were in Wood Green. So they had a street stall in Wood Green,
00:52:46.980
and we went in the back of a lorry, about 40 of us. And we pulled up down the end of the road,
00:52:51.220
jumped out, had a little, there was one in, police were there, but we shut down their stall again.
00:52:56.500
So our tactics at that time was, let's follow these terrorists. Let's see, instead of going
00:53:00.500
to football against Chelsea on Saturday, let's go find these up. That's basically just the truth
00:53:05.460
of what we were doing. Yeah. Let's shut this lockdown. Let's, let's confront them. And remember,
00:53:10.820
the police were letting them, letting them act the way they wanted. Now we now, they become a
00:53:15.140
prescribed terrorist organization by 2010, after one year of the English defensively chasing around
00:53:19.380
the country. Then the government stepped in the home secretary and said, we've got to ban them.
00:53:23.300
Well, you know, you should have banned them 20 years ago. Yeah. You banned them because there
00:53:26.660
was street problems. They only listened to that. So at the time, I understand. So we went, we went.
00:53:32.180
Do you know something? I interrupted you there because what you just said, I think 10 years ago,
00:53:37.380
people would have been like, oh, the police only react when there's street problems.
00:53:43.540
But I can't argue with that now. When I look around at what's happening now, I can't argue with it
00:53:48.580
because they cover up and ignore stuff until people are really angry and then they act on it. I mean,
00:53:55.060
that's just, people can say that's whatever. That's just a fact. If you look at our country now,
00:53:59.940
if you look at the protests outside Micron hotels and all of this stuff, they have been ignoring all
00:54:04.900
this shit until people actually started getting angry. That's just a fact, right?
00:54:08.980
It's a fact. And I'd say since 2001, when the Muslim community rioted in Bradford and the
00:54:13.460
riots spread to Oldham and the riots spread to Stoke. And at that time, those riots,
00:54:18.900
if you look at the cost of the riots, this was after, I think, an old age British pensioner was
00:54:24.980
beaten by a gang of Pakistanis, which provoked 200, again, football lads at the time, I think,
00:54:30.580
from Oldham. I think they marched into an area, a Muslim area, which then triggered race riots
00:54:35.860
where entire places burned through Bradford. They come out of Bradford and burn everywhere.
00:54:39.780
Since that point, if you look at it, it looks like the government just went,
00:54:43.940
OK, Muslims, do what you want. And the Muslim leaders, which they always do, and I've seen
00:54:49.620
example after example of this, which we'll get onto, they just threaten violence. They just say,
00:54:53.460
we won't be able to control our youth. You've got to stop these people. You've got to arrest him,
00:54:58.100
stop him, shut down this. And then the government just go, we'll just pander to them. So you've seen,
00:55:04.660
and then now the country's seen it. You saw the Hamas riots. You saw them calling for jihad on the
00:55:08.740
streets, literally calling for jihad. And then the police are putting out a statement saying jihad
00:55:13.300
has lots of different meanings. Not when it's coming from his butt to here, it doesn't. Because
00:55:17.220
that man's saying it is part of a prescribed terrorist organization in most countries, but not
00:55:22.020
this pathetic country. It is now. But it wasn't at the time. Again, it is now. Why now? Why wasn't
00:55:28.180
it for the last 20 years? His butt to here, every Islamic society in every university around this country,
00:55:33.380
was his butt to here. So kids are going to university and a terrorist group, because they're
00:55:37.860
now a terrorist group, but they've always been a terrorist group. Just our weak pathetic government
00:55:41.300
didn't prescribe them, because they didn't want to upset people. It's like mad. You don't upset them
00:55:44.900
until they're calling for jihad, until they're openly saying the madness that we know they've been
00:55:49.460
promoting anyway. They've made universities total no-go zones for certain communities,
00:55:53.860
and whilst jihad runs. So at that time, this is going on. We look at the Islamic group. We then,
00:56:01.460
I see a young boy called Sean. He was 11 years old. He's in Birmingham, and they get him up on
00:56:06.180
stage, about 200 of them. I used this video in my Oxford Union presentation just to show people,
00:56:10.660
look at what happened, because there's a story to what happened. Before the English Defence League
00:56:14.420
was born, you have to understand the 15 years in Luton. Then you have to understand what went on with
00:56:18.180
the UPL. Then you have to understand that the government, the local community council ignored us,
00:56:22.340
suppressed us. Then you have to understand the police attacked us, silenced us,
00:56:25.940
bullshit charges to control us. Then comes the English Defence League, and it only come because
00:56:32.500
Sean was 11 years old, and they got him up on stage, and they had a banner saying Jesus was
00:56:37.060
a Muslim in the city centre. Imagine we had a banner saying Muhammad was a Christian, or something
00:56:42.420
that would upset them. You just couldn't do it. Anyway, they'd kill you, but the police would stop you
00:56:46.420
and all. But they had Jesus was a Muslim, hundreds of them screaming Allah Akbar whilst they converted
00:56:50.580
an 11-year-old boy who was out with his mate shopping in the town center. And I remember
00:56:53.780
watching it going, right, they can't do that, right? They cannot be doing this in city centres
00:56:59.300
to kids. So we then went, as a group of Luton lads, we said, right, called ourselves the English
00:57:04.580
Defence League, I made t-shirts, we all wore them, and we went to Birmingham for our first ever,
00:57:09.940
and it was, if you watch up, and this is where I learned a lot about the media, we went to Birmingham
00:57:14.420
as a group of 50, and we got run and smashed everywhere, yeah? Lads were getting beaten unconscious on
00:57:19.300
the floor, there was newspaper clippings of men with blood, English men with blood all over them,
00:57:23.300
and there must have been a mob of a thousand Muslims. And the police put us in a pub, yeah?
00:57:28.100
And we were in this pub for three hours, and they couldn't clear the streets. So then the police end
00:57:31.620
up getting us buses. They go and take buses to try and get us out of there. They bring in buses,
00:57:36.180
all the bus windows go through, and as we get out on these buses, everyone's getting smashed to hell.
00:57:40.580
We're looking down the side streets, and it's bricks littered everywhere. So I think they've been
00:57:44.420
rioting for hours, yeah? We've been rioting for hours. And our banners read, Nigerian Christians,
00:57:51.300
we stand with you as victims of jihad. Because again, I'm down the rabbit hole at this point,
00:57:55.300
and I'm organising it, and I saw that five Christian churches were blown up on Christmas
00:57:58.900
Day, and it didn't even make our news. And I'm thinking, Christians are being massacred.
00:58:03.620
Christian Nigerians are being butchered, and nothing seems to be... Why is no one speaking about
00:58:07.940
this? Where's the Christian leadership in this country? And I'm going down all these rabbit holes,
00:58:11.540
thinking, what's going on? So we'll go to Birmingham, and our banner said, Muslim, no problem,
00:58:15.460
because I hadn't gone down the rabbit hole that much on the reality of Islam. I'd just been looking
00:58:19.300
at groups. Muslim, no problem, extremist Muslim, big problem. But what happens is, Salma Yaqub,
00:58:24.660
which we didn't know, Salma Yaqub went in a mosque, and she told the crowds of Muslims that the BNP,
00:58:31.700
the National Front, and the racists were here to attack them, which was us, 50 lads, yeah? So they come out,
00:58:36.980
and they rioted, but no one spoke. I remember watching it, thinking, well, we've come here about
00:58:41.220
Sean, because we had banners. What about Sean's rights? We've come here about this Christian
00:58:44.820
kid who's been converted, and no one's even spoke about it. So no politician spoke about it,
00:58:48.420
police didn't speak about it, no one mentioned it. We were called racist, we were called far-right,
00:58:51.380
and we were bad. That's basically it. So I watched this, and then after this, I saw,
00:58:56.100
this is how the EDL developed. From 50 men, these images went all over the country, yeah? And people
00:59:01.460
were talking about bloody Luton went to Burma today and got bad, yeah? And when I say people,
00:59:06.020
I guess, football elements in clubs we're talking about. Then there's a Christian graveyard,
00:59:11.620
a church has been bought in Longsite in Manchester, and they're just bulldozing over the headstones.
00:59:16.900
I remember them watching that going, well, you ain't doing that either, yeah? That's insane.
00:59:21.140
So we then said, right, we're coming from Birmingham, we're now the English Defence League
00:59:25.300
are coming to Manchester. And that was a real changing moment, because when we turned up in
00:59:30.020
Manchester as a group of 50, 2,000 young men were there. 2,000 young men were there like that,
00:59:35.700
because they'd watched the videos of the Muslims smashing everyone, and men who were not going to
00:59:39.620
be smashed, that's how it started, who were going to defend other English men at that time, which is,
00:59:44.740
so people talk about, well, the English Defence League was a bit of an explosion. I said,
00:59:48.180
after what happened to us in Birmingham, it was never going to be female school teachers and nurses
00:59:52.900
that were coming out on the street, yeah? And although, and I went for four years leading this group,
00:59:58.820
and I think we're very lucky, and I decided to leave myself because I felt it wasn't,
01:00:04.420
it was counterproductive to continue marching into cities. I understood then maybe we weren't
01:00:08.900
having the right effect, because maybe we were giving the radicals and the extremists the ammunition
01:00:15.620
for some other Muslims to join them to say, look at this lot, yeah? But we went around the country,
01:00:20.020
and remember at this time, when I left Luton, and I started meeting families and people
01:00:24.420
and understanding Jesus Christ. In every town and city, our daughters are being raped.
01:00:27.460
In it, what I've seen in Luton, I'm then sitting with families, and again, I'll tell this story,
01:00:33.060
we had our Blackburn demonstration, we went from Manchester to Stoke to Blackburn. Blackburn was
01:00:37.620
chaos, but there was thousands. And I went the night before and sat with a family whose 12 year old
01:00:42.020
daughter had been missing for three days, and there were 16 year old brothers there. And they're all,
01:00:45.780
they're crying, the family are crying. And then when we went to the demonstration,
01:00:49.620
there's trouble flaring with the police. And I remember going down the front of that
01:00:52.180
demonstration to try and calm the trouble. And who's at the front fighting the police?
01:00:56.260
A 16 year old brother. I'm thinking, who am I even selling? I've just sat with that family last
01:01:00.820
night. The police ain't doing nothing. His daughter, his sister's missing for days. So that level of
01:01:05.940
anger, and the reason, people talk about the phenomenon of the English Defence League at the
01:01:10.100
time, yeah? Because we went from here, one day, to within six months, we had divisions in every town
01:01:15.220
and city, and we had the largest street protest movement in the Europe scene. And we didn't plan it,
01:01:19.860
we didn't have control of it. The police had no idea or intelligence on it. So it just went home
01:01:25.860
across the whole country. And why did it go home across the whole country? Because everyone,
01:01:29.780
if you just look at Rotherham, 1,400 victims, well, those 1,400 victims have probably got four
01:01:33.780
family members each. That's 10,000 people just in Rotherham who have been directly evicted by the rape
01:01:37.620
of gangs in that town. So when all these people have been silenced and scared to talk about it,
01:01:42.900
people used to whisper about Islam. All of a sudden, you've got 3,000, 4,000 men walking through the
01:01:47.300
streets singing, we are infidels, and we've had enough of this, yeah? And I go back, and again,
01:01:53.140
when we say what was the, I can look at mistakes we made, look at errors I made, my personal behaviour
01:01:59.460
at times. I can look at all that, and you learn a lot from it. But I just look at the graph. And if
01:02:04.420
you do a graph, and you set 2009, which is the formation of the English Defence League, and you have
01:02:09.940
a line like this for the Muslims who are arrested for rape of children in gangs, and the line goes like
01:02:15.060
this. The English Defence League forms, and again, this is the only time they act when there's a
01:02:19.860
resistance, yeah? Unfortunately, it just goes through the roof. Yeah. They realised behind,
01:02:24.820
in corridors of power, up and down this country, in government, they all of a sudden realised,
01:02:29.380
we've got to do something, yeah? And in fact, Andrew Norfolk, I don't speak ill with a dead man,
01:02:34.340
because I know he's died recently, but this is his words. He knew his words in an interview.
01:02:41.300
He knew the gangs were operating, he knew the victims were young white girls, and he was too
01:02:45.140
scared to report on it. Along comes the English Defence League, and what he says is,
01:02:49.780
we needed to take it back from the far right, yeah? Far right, what you mean by far right is
01:02:54.980
families, fathers and Englishmen who ain't backing down on this issue, yeah? And we went through,
01:03:01.060
our daughters are not, in the end, our banners said from 2009, our daughters are not allowing me,
01:03:05.620
yeah? Because that's how they've been treated, literally, and no one's doing anything about it.
01:03:10.340
So then, arrests start going through the roof, the government start listening, and when I say
01:03:14.980
they're listening, they were listening, I had, when we set up the English Defence League, we're in Luton,
01:03:19.860
and they called me for a meeting, the council did, and I go to the meeting, and they've got about 10 of
01:03:24.100
them, and they had cameras set up like this, and they had a Labour baroness, she was baroness from
01:03:28.740
the Labour government, a black lady, and they sat me down and said, tell us, what's wrong?
01:03:34.900
So I tell you what, you want to know what's wrong? And then I went through and I said, where do you
01:03:38.020
live? She said, St Albans, where do you live? Hitchin, these are the people who represent us,
01:03:42.820
where do you live? Not one of them lived in Luton. I said, you're not, none of you are even
01:03:46.020
Lutonians, yeah? And Mohammed was there, and I said, you live in Berry Park, don't you,
01:03:50.020
bro? He said, yeah, I do, yeah, I said, I know you do. So you represent your community,
01:03:53.620
you're on the ground in your community, and you know what's going on in your community. You lot have
01:03:57.220
got nothing in common with me, or any of us, in fact, yeah? None of you are probably working
01:04:02.740
class either. You're middle class, you've come into the council, you're in high role,
01:04:06.100
100 grand a year, and you're the people making decisions. So then they said, well, what's wrong?
01:04:10.340
I said, okay, you see this park, and I took them up to Farley Hill in Luton, and this is a problem
01:04:15.380
across, this isn't just, what I've seen in Luton is mirrored for every town to see, yeah? The problems
01:04:20.820
of the gangs, the problem of the drugs, the problems of the police, the problems of appeasement,
01:04:24.100
but the problems of funding and neglect of the working class, yeah? So I took them up to Farley
01:04:28.820
Hill, and I said, you see that park there that was built in 1960? This is a predominantly white
01:04:32.980
council estate. So let's go down the Muslim community. So we drove down the hill, that's
01:04:37.060
a £330,000 state-of-the-art park. Why? How come they've got that and we've got that? How come?
01:04:43.300
How come, because they class the Muslim community as a regeneration community, how come their community
01:04:48.020
centres are free? How come for their kids to go play football is free, and ours it's not? We have to pay £5 each,
01:04:53.780
which we don't have, yeah? So everything's built for this, and nothing's built for this. And if you
01:04:58.580
look at the achievements of working class kids now, white working class, the biggest academic
01:05:02.020
underachievers, there's a reason for that, and it's what I've experienced my whole life. It's the
01:05:05.620
two-tier policing, the two-tier funding, the two-tier council, the acceleration for this community,
01:05:10.420
and the ignoring and neglect of this community. So there's so many different things that played
01:05:14.900
into it, but the English Defence League went bang. We travel around the country, I think in hindsight now,
01:05:21.540
now. We're lucky no one was killed. We're lucky there weren't a sectarian conflict when, I think
01:05:26.580
in 2014 was it, six Muslims got caught with guns, bombs, IEDs on the way to kill us. They got 30 years
01:05:32.420
in prison. All the, that, if they would have successfully targeted the English Defence League
01:05:36.500
demonstration, this country would have blown up. So, and I think, so I get to 2014, I have a refreshing
01:05:41.860
moment in jail at the time as well, thinking about my life, where's it heading, what's going on,
01:05:45.700
what's our, what's our objectives. And at that point, I decided to leave the street protest element.
01:05:50.740
The, Joe Wye as well, every interview, if I was sitting in now leading the English
01:05:54.900
Defence League, you'd both be grilling me on negative behaviour of members of the English
01:05:58.340
Defence League. Yeah. Rightfully so, yeah, because some of it was moronic, yeah. But we were never
01:06:02.980
talking about the issue. We were, I think, the only opportunity I got where I should be talking on
01:06:07.780
chat shows and news shows, I want to talk about the problems this country faces. I want to talk
01:06:11.620
about what I've seen. It wasn't, it wasn't, that wasn't happening. All right, people, it's trivia
01:06:16.340
time. Financial trivia, to be exact. Do you know what retirement asset grew the most in the first six
01:06:22.020
months of President Trump's second term? Many of you probably guessed the stock market was the best
01:06:26.900
since what's backing the most retirement accounts in America today is that. But from January the 21st
01:06:32.340
through July 21st, the Dow Jones grew less than one percent. What about Bitcoin? President Trump loves
01:06:38.740
Bitcoin, so it must have performed well, right? Well, it did. It grew nearly 15%, an impressive
01:06:45.060
six-month investment, but it's not the number one. The heavyweight champion was, wait for it,
01:06:50.580
gold and silver. Gold and silver are considered to be safe haven investments, so many of you will be
01:06:56.100
surprised to learn they both grew by a whopping 25% in President Trump's first six months. 25% in six
01:07:04.260
months. Not bad for safe haven investments. Our partners, Augusta Precious Metals, specializes in

01:08:22.900
Well, this is the issue, isn't it, Tommy? And it speaks to, you know, the reason we had to postpone
01:08:29.780
the interview, right? Because I think, I don't know, tell me what you think, but I think partly
01:08:36.020
the way you've been treated historically is by class. I don't think anyone can deny that, right?
01:08:40.740
Because you're making the same points as Douglas Murray. You know, Douglas speaks very, very, very well.
01:08:47.300
You do too, in your own way, right? But you make the same points. But the difference is,
01:08:52.180
Douglas is never on camera punching people. Do you know what I mean? And so I think it's partly
01:08:57.540
about class, but partly it's also about that element of it. This is why I asked you about the
01:09:00.980
football hooligan stuff, because I think a lot of people, I tell you my opinion, right? Because we
01:09:05.300
talked about this before, before we started. We haven't had you on for a long time, even though
01:09:10.500
a lot of people have wanted us to. And it's always the concern for people who have an audience,
01:09:14.820
right? Which is, I think the point you're making on many, many issues are incredibly important. And
01:09:21.300
much more than that, you've been proven right. Let's just be honest about it, right? On the
01:09:25.700
grooming gangs, on the two-tier policing and all of these things that you're talking about. But the
01:09:30.260
worry always is, is we can all feel now, the countries are, I mean, there's a fever pitch, right?
01:09:36.820
We can all feel it. And the question for all of us is, what is it that we are amplifying?
01:09:42.260
What it, where, where are we trying to take this? Do you know what I mean? So when people see you
01:09:46.500
getting involved in all these physical altercations and fights, and you know, you're standing there,
01:09:50.980
some guy's been knocked out. The worry for a lot of people is, I might agree with what he's saying,
01:09:56.340
but, but, but by pursuing this further, are we actually increasing the risk of a lot of violence?
01:10:02.820
And that's a worry. Do you see what I'm saying?
01:10:05.540
I totally understand. So, so, so people understand, if I hadn't had the upbringing I'd had,
01:10:10.340
and I hadn't grown up basically off the streets of Luton, then the first punch in the nose I got,
01:10:14.980
and the first threat to my life, I'd have run away. And I would never would have stood in the face of
01:10:18.740
Islam. I never would have stood and continued saying, no, no, no. Yeah. It was my upbringing that
01:10:24.020
done that. And my background had done that. But there's not one single image of me or video of me
01:10:28.820
being an aggressor. Yeah. I'm defending myself. So for example, last week, the incident last week,
01:10:33.860
I'm not lucky enough to have a half a million pound security like Nigel Farage. Yeah. I challenged
01:10:37.460
Nigel Farage to walk the country with no security and tell me he, you won't end up seeing him getting
01:10:42.020
attacked. We've seen him get an egg on him, even when he's got 20 security. Yeah. Well,
01:10:45.780
go and walk through the towns that I walk through. I walk everywhere on my own, lads. Yeah. Everywhere.
01:10:49.300
So last week, as a perfect example, is I'd been out in London and I uploaded pictures. There
01:10:53.780
were some lovely encounters with Muslim lads. Everything was good. I spent the whole day in London. I was
01:10:57.780
in Parliament Square. I had Brian Rose podcast. I'm going about my business. And unfortunately,
01:11:03.940
I've had to for 15 years. I've been beaten unconscious in Essex. I've been beaten in Luton.
01:11:10.020
I've had to sit my kids down. I remember my face was rearranged. Yeah. Absolutely rearranged.
01:11:14.100
A car pulled over because I was, I'd been getting jumped on on the side of the street by a gang of
01:11:17.540
Pakistanis. And the car, if the car, the car driver said when he, when I woke up, if I didn't pull over,
01:11:22.660
you'd be dead. They were jumping on you nonstop. And then my face was out. Yeah. I remember
01:11:26.740
having to tell my kids. It was just before Christmas. My kids are only this big. So I
01:11:30.180
said, I got kicked in the face by Santa's reindeer. So I remember having to sit these stories down
01:11:36.420
and for too long, I said, I'm not a punchback. I'm not a punchback. So for example, last week,
01:11:43.540
I wish I had security that could intervene and tell people to stand back and don't start on him.
01:11:47.940
But for example, this gentleman now, unfortunately, there's been time and time again where I've had the
01:11:53.060
need to defend myself. And I'm not going to apologise for being a man either. Yeah. I will
01:11:58.020
defend myself if I'm put. And you know, for too many years, you know, when I started the English
01:12:01.460
Defence League, I realised, damn, the police want to get me. Prison's a dangerous place for me.
01:12:04.980
And I sort of had my hands be on my back because how I would have reacted, and I had to change how
01:12:09.380
I'd react. How I would have reacted as a young man in Luton with someone calling me a cunt,
01:12:13.460
I'd probably have banged him out as a kid. Yeah. I probably wouldn't have tolerated that.
01:12:17.140
Then I realised, well, I have to tolerate some. Yeah. Yeah. I've got one. And I learned very
01:12:21.860
quickly to use my mouth rather than my hands. But as I become this figure that has to tolerate
01:12:26.820
people who have an, and I don't blame even the gentleman last week. I don't blame him for having
01:12:31.540
a hatred of me. Yeah. Because he has a hatred built of me. What happened, Tommy? What happened
01:12:36.100
was I walked through the train station and now I've seen the CCTV as well. Yeah. When I say this was the
01:12:40.420
most scary week of my life, there's been an incident. I sent you the voice note. Yeah.
01:12:46.020
Yeah. So I'm walking through. And what I now know is a gentleman steps off the train at St. Pancras.
01:12:52.900
So he's ready to leave St. Pancras. I come into St. Pancras and I go to get my train. He sees me
01:12:57.700
and he beelines for me. He follows me, but he don't just follow me. He gets here in my face. Yeah.
01:13:02.420
He's in my face. He's confronting me, telling me he'll end me, telling me how little I am,
01:13:06.500
screaming at me. I mean, screaming at me. Yeah. Screaming at me.
01:13:09.860
And I'm the whole time just going, mate, fuck off. And I do warning multiple times. I said,
01:13:14.500
look, and as I was watching, I'm paranoid anyway. I've just come out of seven months
01:13:18.740
since solitary confinement. Yeah. I'm pretty on edge. I remember for the last couple of months,
01:13:22.980
I'm not myself anyway. I know that. Yeah. I know that. So I don't feel myself just the two.
01:13:27.860
Well, in fact, you did ask to postpone our interview one time because you didn't feel right.
01:13:31.300
Because I don't feel right. Because I felt, and I remember going into London to see some
01:13:35.700
a lady who was terminally ill. God bless her. She's died now. I remember going in to see her.
01:13:40.180
And I was like, I'm ready to blow here. Yeah. I'm ready to blow. But I've been sat in a cell
01:13:45.300
for seven months on my own. And then I've been bang, thrown out. So I had all this. So I took,
01:13:49.620
I made the decision to take a back seat for two weeks. I took my son away, played paddle,
01:13:54.100
walked daily, routine. I needed routine. I've got all this. But as this gentleman comes up to me,
01:13:58.900
he's aggressive. He's threatening. And what a lot of people, and I'm so relieved because as this has
01:14:04.340
gone on, basically, he follows me for two minutes. And he's getting him away. And I'm trying to get
01:14:08.820
around him. And I get away from him once. And he comes back after me again. And then I say to him,
01:14:13.540
mate, if you come back in with my space, I'm going to defend myself. Because in my mind,
01:14:17.380
he was just trying to get close enough to snake me. That's what I was thinking the whole time. I
01:14:20.900
know what you're doing. But I know what you're doing. So I was trying to move back. And I get
01:14:24.740
to the top of the escalators at the stairs. And he's following me. So now I think, well,
01:14:28.420
he'll kick me down the stairs. Yeah. I'm going down to a train. He'll kick me in front of me.
01:14:31.700
And he was a big fella. If you look at it, he was a much bigger fella. It's not hard to be bigger
01:14:35.220
than me. But he was a big fella. I then step back to let him go. So I go, you fucking go. Yeah,
01:14:39.940
you go down the stairs. But he doesn't go down the stairs. He gets to the top of the stairs,
01:14:42.980
and he turns on me. And at that point, which this is the problem we have, at that point,
01:14:48.260
let's just say there is a recording. Yeah, there is a recording that has exactly what he's saying.
01:14:53.700
Yeah. Now, the police are not probably aware of this. They don't have this. Right. So there is
01:14:58.580
a recording of exactly what he's saying. It makes very clear who the aggressor is.
01:15:02.820
It makes very clear who's threatening who. Yeah. Now, at this point, I just know,
01:15:07.700
because things happen quick, don't they? Yeah. This has all happened quick to me.
01:15:10.980
I know I've had to defend myself. He's ended up asleep on the floor. I've only hit him once. Yeah.
01:15:17.300
I've pushed him. And as he continued to come at me, the whole time I'm going backwards. But
01:15:21.300
I couldn't really remember at the time or straight afterwards. So as soon as this has happened,
01:15:26.180
he don't look in a good state. Yeah. I'm thinking, right, I'm in London underground. I'm on my own.
01:15:30.660
Crowds are going to come. This ain't going to be good. So I leave. As soon as I leave,
01:15:34.660
I contact the police, which is the recording you would listen to. Contact the police and say,
01:15:37.860
look, this has happened. I've been walking. I've been accosted. I've been threatened.
01:15:42.020
I've tried to get away multiple times. I had no option, right? I don't think I want to be out fighting.
01:15:47.060
So I don't want to be out... Well, I do, though, Tommy. Yeah, do you?
01:15:49.540
You're a football hooligan, right? No, I'm 42 years old.
01:15:53.380
But do you see what I'm saying, right? I see what you're saying.
01:15:55.140
Have you seen Trainspotting? No. I have years ago, but...
01:15:58.260
Do you remember there's a character in that called Begbie, right, who's always starting fights?
01:16:01.540
Yeah, yeah. And I don't know if this is true of you, but I'm going to be honest, from the outside...
01:16:05.940
Yeah. It does look a bit like that's your person. You like him, like...
01:16:14.100
Do you know the feeling for me? I'm not big. Do you know the feeling for me?
01:16:17.220
So when he come up here, I was startled, yeah? And there may be times when people watch me, yeah?
01:16:21.940
Yeah. And I may seem confident, right? Because I have to seem confident.
01:16:24.980
Of course. But at the same time, I'm shitting myself. Every time I go in jail, I'm shitting myself.
01:16:28.900
When I walk down the street sometimes and fall at stop, I'm thinking, for fuck's sake.
01:16:32.820
But again, I've learned there's only one language people understand. Right.
01:16:36.580
But do you see, all I'm saying is, the only reason I'm challenging you is, I think you're someone...
01:16:42.100
Look, 500 years ago, right? The country would be desperate for people like you, right?
01:16:48.980
Because you'd be on the front line fighting some fucking war, right? You're a warrior.
01:16:52.820
So when you say, I don't want to be fighting people, I don't believe it.
01:16:56.420
Well, if I wanted to be fighting people, I could have a fight every day, because people say things to me every day.
01:17:00.260
I don't want to be fighting people. Least of all, a drunk idiot at a train station. All I wanted to do was get home.
01:17:05.300
Now, what this developed into was the worst week of my life, because obviously this happened at the train station.
01:17:10.180
I've contacted the police, said, look lads, what do you want from me? Let me know what I need to do.
01:17:13.860
I'm up for an interview. I'm telling you, he was the aggressor. I've had to do this, yeah?
01:17:19.380
I contact the police for that. I then go home, and then I'm seeing things develop, and blood transfusions.
01:17:26.340
He didn't have blood transfusion. They made it look like he's dead. Have you ever seen forensic tents?
01:17:30.020
Like forensic tents, full boiler suit officers. I'm thinking, oh, he's dead. He's dead.
01:17:35.940
And then I'm thinking, Jesus Christ. And then I think, there's not going to be any CCTV.
01:17:41.060
They're going to get rid of the CCTV. This is what I'm thinking, because I don't trust the system.
01:17:43.620
I think they're going to get rid of the CCTV. They're going to get rid of it.
01:17:46.420
And then I look and think, right, I know there's a recording of how this, of this last moment.
01:17:52.340
I know there is. There's a recording. What do you mean? How do you know?
01:17:56.820
Because there is a recording, yeah? There's a recording. We'll see if it goes to court,
01:18:01.300
because the recording will get played. What I'm saying is, the witnesses, the witnesses,
01:18:04.980
because, so, the witness statements, am I allowed to talk about words?
01:18:08.820
I've got a bad condition that I can't identify the witnesses, but the witnesses
01:18:12.340
say stuff that didn't happen. And it's on the fucking recording, right?
01:18:16.900
And guess what? The witnesses don't like me. Don't like me. Even the police officers said after
01:18:22.260
interview, do you think maybe their negative opinion of you is what's made them
01:18:25.700
say this? Because when I get to the police interview, I've obviously contacted the police,
01:18:30.660
and this is where it's all mad. The media are chasing me down. They're in gyms,
01:18:35.140
they're at people's houses looking for me in Tenerife. I'm not on the run. They're telling
01:18:38.900
everyone I'm on the run. I've been in contact with the police the whole time. I've told the
01:18:42.020
police I'm coming back on Monday, because my flight booked was already to come back on Monday.
01:18:45.860
So I'm coming back into Manchester Monday. They said, can you come back into London?
01:18:48.660
So I said, OK, I'll change my flight. I'll be on this flight going into Luton at this time.
01:18:52.260
So I give them the details. I then turn up, and there's police everywhere. And I'm thinking,
01:18:56.420
well, I've arranged to meet you, lads. And then they're like, are you surprised to see us?
01:18:59.380
I said, well, I'm not surprised to see you, because it's me that told you I'm here.
01:19:02.580
But when I get to the police interview, bearing in mind at this point, I've had to ring my kids
01:19:06.340
on FaceTime, cry my eyes out, saying, kids, I'm gone. I'm watching what's being said.
01:19:11.940
I think they're going to remind me. A judge is just going to say, put him in jail. I'll sit
01:19:16.900
in jail now on solitary for a year. GBA Section 18, that's 10 to 12 year sentence. I think I'm
01:19:22.340
going to spend five, six years. I'm finished. My life's over. So for this week, I'm thinking,
01:19:25.540
my life's over, because I've been accosted, threatened and attacked, and I've had to defend
01:19:30.260
myself. It's like, so when people say, there are images, there's an image of me in Hitchin,
01:19:35.540
I don't know if you've seen the video, where some young hooded Gambian migrants were coughing
01:19:41.140
in an old couple's face. I don't know if you've seen this. They attack an old couple during COVID,
01:19:44.900
give her a black eye. I'm with my kids. I get out of the car, I end up fighting three of them.
01:19:49.140
So yeah, again, maybe if I was like 90% of the other men in England, I'd have drove off and
01:19:54.260
pretended I didn't see it. Maybe. And the same with threatening me. So if you're going to come
01:19:59.620
up to me for threatening me and want to commit violence on me, I'm going to defend myself.
01:20:05.540
I don't want to. I don't want to. And when you say football violence, just so people understand
01:20:09.460
again. So people understand the football element in it. Lads who go to football have usually got
01:20:15.540
good jobs. They work five days a week. They're good people. They're working class men, but they
01:20:20.100
don't mind a rival punch up with other lads. It's not like they're out robbing people, out terrorizing
01:20:25.380
people, or 20 of them are jumping one person. If 20 lads started booting one lad at football,
01:20:30.100
the other lads wouldn't let it happen. They wouldn't let it happen. I know it sounds mad. I remember going to
01:20:35.060
Bristol. We went to Bristol and there was 11 of us and 60 of them. This one I was probably 18 or
01:20:40.020
something. There was a big fight on the bridge. One of our lads got knocked out. We've all had
01:20:43.380
to give it legs. And then we've rung his phone and the Bristol lads have answered it. We said,
01:20:46.820
we've got him here. He's in the pub with us, right? And I said, is he all right? They said,
01:20:50.340
yeah, we'll drop him a meter. And they've dropped him off. So there's like...
01:20:53.860
I see what you're saying. I guess the only reason I was challenging it is it hard...
01:20:59.780
I'm not judging, Tommy, genuinely. But I'm just saying my honest opinion, right? And we can disagree
01:21:05.060
about it. When you say you don't want to get in a fight, I'm like, Tommy, you spent most of your
01:21:10.420
youth going to football to have a fight. And now you're sitting here saying you don't want to get
01:21:16.500
in a fight. I don't want to get in a fight with random people walking down the street. And most of them,
01:21:21.140
and I'll give you another example. There's a lad called Bob, yeah? So I'm out in Hitchin.
01:21:25.460
Hitchin's lovely, by the way. Different world. And I realised there's places outside Luton when
01:21:29.460
I was back in. I thought, Jesus, what I think's normal is not normal. I thought growing up,
01:21:34.100
this is normal. This violence is normal. This is normal. Everyone has aggression.
01:21:38.660
If you look at someone, you might be in a fight. I went to Hitchin. What a lovely place.
01:21:43.300
I thought... I went to Hitchin and I was out and this bloke went online and he put,
01:21:47.860
anyone who wants to attack, get Tommy Robinson, he's in this pub. Yeah, I was with my friend
01:21:52.580
and both our partners. When I left the pub, there's six lads waiting. I get rushed.
01:21:57.060
They come at me again. I catch him. This attack, I get a blood clot. So this gentleman this week had
01:22:02.500
a blood clot. I had a blood clot here. I had to go have an operation. This happens. I then go,
01:22:06.980
I go home and on the, on the, on the business ownership hub of pubs in Hitchin, because they're
01:22:12.180
all part of some group. They're all saying the far-right racist Tommy Robinson was in Hitchin
01:22:16.340
fighting last night. And one by one, they're going, he's barred. He's barred. He's barred.
01:22:20.580
I'm thinking, I've never caused a problem in Hitchin. How am I getting barred? I got attacked.
01:22:24.420
So I've gone to the pub and said, how are you barring me? I didn't do anything wrong last night.
01:22:27.700
I got rushed or it was two days later. So I found the gentleman who said this and I found his address.
01:22:32.980
And I went to his house. It's in Letchworth. Knocked on the door. Sister answered. She said,
01:22:37.220
what the fuck are you doing here? I said, tell Bob I'm here. Tell him to come outside. This is the
01:22:41.060
man who promoted violence against me. He wouldn't come outside. He shut the door. So I put my phone
01:22:44.500
number through the letterbox, leave my phone number there. And then I go home and I put a picture of
01:22:48.660
him on my, on my social media at the time. I said, you need to call me, mate. Yeah. And now I get a
01:22:52.580
text message. Sorry, Tommy, I was drunk. Yeah. Tongue in cheek moment. So it's not a tongue in cheek
01:22:57.140
moment. I got violently attacked. You need to see me, mate. Yeah. I said, well, I'm just going to come back
01:23:01.140
round. All right. So he agreed to meet me next day in Cafe Rouge in Hitchin. So I've walked into Cafe Rouge and he sat
01:23:06.100
there with his two little stead heads. He's an Asian lad. Two little juice heads. And I said,
01:23:10.660
come outside. And they said, you can talk in here. I said, shut up. If I wanted to get him,
01:23:13.540
I'll get him. Yeah. I said, so just come outside. All right. And as he comes outside,
01:23:16.740
my mate's waiting for the camera. I said, tell the camera why I should be violently attacked.
01:23:20.420
And he's like, I said, I got violently attacked because of you. Yeah. But you're calling me the thug.
01:23:25.540
Yeah. You've incited violence against me. Why should I be attacked? He goes, well, you hate the
01:23:28.820
immigrants. I said, okay, let's start there. I don't hate the immigrants. My mum was an immigrant.
01:23:33.700
Most people I love are sons of immigrants or immigrants. So I don't hate the immigrants.
01:23:36.900
So what else do you think? You want to deport all the Muslims? Never said that. That would mean
01:23:40.180
deporting people I love. So when I went through all of the things he thinks, we established,
01:23:44.980
I don't believe any of them. Yeah. So you hate me because you think I stand for saying. And at the
01:23:49.860
end of it, I said, I'm going to do Bob. And I shook his hand. He was open border policy. We had
01:23:54.100
totally different views, but he was all right. And he goes, I'm sorry, you shouldn't have been attacked.
01:23:58.340
I said, so Bob, I'm going to delete this. I'm never going to share this video. Yeah. This video
01:24:01.300
ain't going out. I'll shake your hand on it. Well, forget it. I'm going to delete everything.
01:24:04.820
Yeah. But you're making these judgments. The nearest mosque to you is in my town. You don't
01:24:09.940
know what you're talking about. Yeah. You don't know what you're talking about. And then, so then
01:24:14.100
I found out who the kids were that beat me up, the six of them. And I went and found him. He lived
01:24:17.700
in a 1.4 million pound house with his mum and dad. He had a little student. So they didn't really,
01:24:21.620
well, they beat me up because there was six of them, but they couldn't fight. And then when I went to his
01:24:26.260
house, I knocked on the door and his mum's answered. I said, you need to tell your son
01:24:29.700
I'm here. Where is he? She goes, he's at university. So I said, get him on the phone
01:24:32.340
and tell him I'm here. So she's rang him up and he said, mum, ring the police. Quick,
01:24:35.460
ring the police. I said, don't ring the police. Trust me. Don't ring the police. And I figured,
01:24:39.380
don't ring the police. Your son's in trouble. I'm not in trouble. Yeah. So anyway, she rings
01:24:43.380
the police. I then leave. Police run away. The copper rings me. Says, Tommy, boy, we understand
01:24:49.700
you've been to a house today. He goes, now, I'll be honest with you. I went to meet at the police.
01:24:54.900
He goes, I'll be honest with you. We would have thought you were there to threaten. But we spoke to Bob.
01:25:00.020
Whose house you went to previously. And Bob spoke very highly of you. I said, well,
01:25:04.340
how come he spoke to Bob? And they said, because you put the picture of him online. I goes, okay.
01:25:08.500
So I put the picture of him online. So you went to see Bob. But you saw what he said then. So you saw
01:25:12.180
that he incited violence. But you went still to see him as a victim when I'm the victim. So you know
01:25:17.380
I've been attacked by six men. They then prosecute. So this has gone on. And I said, mate, I was just
01:25:23.380
going to see the kid to challenge him, which is what I do with most people on this issue, which is why people say,
01:25:28.900
no, you're threatening us. No, I'm challenging him. The police end up charging these kids. Now, this kid
01:25:33.540
was a university student. He's probably never been in trouble in his life. And I didn't want him getting
01:25:37.540
charged. And I said to the police, I don't want him to get done. I wanted to have a conversation.
01:25:41.140
And through that, one of his friends' boss rang me up. He was friends with my friend. I said, what's going on? I said, I don't
01:25:46.960
want them to lose their careers. Yeah, I don't. Right. They're stupid. They've attacked me. But they need to learn a lesson.
01:25:53.860
And then I didn't turn up at court. So the case got kicked down. But that is a prime example of when I went through this
01:25:59.520
kid, the six kids that attacked me, they're all white. I went through their school group, all their photos, not a single non-white
01:26:05.540
friend. They, if ever there's white privilege, it's them. Yeah. Yet they hate me from Luton when they
01:26:12.100
had no idea what it's like. So they have no idea what it's like living there. And that's the majority
01:26:17.440
of the problem. So even this gentleman who's confronted me at the train station this week, and it hasn't
01:26:20.320
ended well for him, even him, I don't blame him because he's feeding off probably a narrative that
01:26:25.820
you probably swallowed 10 years ago. He's racist. He's extreme. He's a Nazi. All the things the media told
01:26:31.200
you. Now, why did the media tell you that? Because they didn't want to talk about the Green Gangs.
01:26:34.340
They didn't want to talk about Islamic radicalisation. They don't want to deal with these issues because
01:26:37.920
these issues are their policy failures. They've failed. This issue that we're all worried about
01:26:43.600
now, the reason why mums are out on the streets, the reason why there's protests outside the
01:26:46.740
migrants' hotel, is because of their failures. They've imported this problem into the country,
01:26:50.920
and they've tried to scare the hell out of everyone. And when I say the level of, we're talking
01:26:54.480
about these grooming gang inquiries now, when I started the English Defence League, in the first
01:26:58.480
six months, I had free police raids. They fabricated charges. They put me under bail conditions.
01:27:02.640
Bail conditions not to contact the English Defence League. The bail date, Yorkshire police
01:27:06.520
travelled down. They're bearing their mind. Rotherham's in Yorkshire. Yorkshire police
01:27:10.460
travelled down to my mum's and my kid's house, raided them with machine guns. Then gave me bail
01:27:15.820
conditions for a criminal damage on a £30 door. They said I was in a hotel. They said I damaged
01:27:22.080
the £30 damage. And then the bail conditions was not to send an email, not to be in a group
01:27:27.160
of two or more people with the English Defence League. My bail date was the same date I was
01:27:30.660
due to talk about grooming in Yorkshire. And I put in a complaint through the IPCC and said,
01:27:36.160
this is all politically motivated. The reason for this arrest is fabricated. You've done it
01:27:40.240
to stop me talking. It took two years for the results. They just accepted it all. Yeah, we did.
01:27:44.660
But remember, at this time, no one was talking about grooming. No one knew about grooming.
01:27:49.120
The police were still in full-on cover-up mode. If you look at who was in charge of Rotherham
01:27:53.180
Police during the biggest scandal, which is 2006 to 2012, probably, the officer in charge
01:27:58.300
of Rotherham Police is now in charge of counter-terrorism. I face a counter-terrorism trial
01:28:02.440
next month, in October. It's like everyone who had dirty hands. It's why Labour can't allow
01:28:06.680
this inquiry. Because every councillor in Labour, or worker within the council, who was in charge
01:28:12.960
15 years ago, or during the height of this scandal, they've all rose to the top.
01:28:17.640
Tommy, when you look back at some of your behaviour, do you think that it's tarnished
01:28:21.560
your message? I think that my behaviour was impossible. Like, as a young man walking down
01:28:28.320
the street, I'll tell anyone, try and talk about Islam. I think Saira Khan, was it Saira
01:28:32.880
Khan? I was on a chat show with her, and they're all attacking me. And I was trying to talk about
01:28:36.820
grooming. This is 2010. And they're all screaming at me that I'm a racist. And all I kept saying
01:28:40.580
is, what have I said that's racist? There's not one thing I've ever said that's racist.
01:28:45.220
Why are you shutting down this debate? And she said, well, and I said, I've got death threats
01:28:49.400
threatening my family. And she said, well, I haven't got death threats. Do you know why I
01:28:52.360
haven't got death threats? Because I'm a nice person. Yeah. And I said, try and talk about
01:28:56.840
Islam, you'll have death threats. Seven years later, she spoke about Islam. And then she's
01:29:02.260
sitting on loose women crying, saying, I've got death threats. It's like, welcome to the real
01:29:06.100
world, darling. Yeah. What has happened to me through having this opinion, and speaking out
01:29:10.140
the way I do, it's destroyed my life. It's destroyed my wife's life. It's destroyed my mother's
01:29:13.820
life. I live with constant death threats. I've got some of them here, if you want to read,
01:29:16.660
when we talk about a two-tier policing system. I have to wear a bulletproof vest. I've got
01:29:20.160
people wanting to murder me and massacre me. Well, then stop being a racist and a bigger.
01:29:23.120
Racist. Can you explain? Can you, can you, can you, can you, can you, can you please,
01:29:30.500
please explain one thing I've ever said. No, listen, I am a British citizen. Please explain
01:29:33.520
what? I was born in this country, and I do not spout off rubbish like you do. No, what
01:29:37.080
am I saying that's rubbish? I haven't got death threats. Do you know why? It's because
01:29:38.920
I'm a nice person. Please explain. I want harmony in this country. If you talk against
01:29:42.160
Islam, you'll have death threats. In this culture, it's even more taboo, because once
01:29:46.740
you bring shame to your family, that's it. You know, you, the consequences are, you could
01:29:52.760
be killed, you could be ostracised, and literally, you just, you know, the whole family splits
01:29:58.520
up. When I came on here to talk about what happened to me, it was a family member. It took
01:30:03.420
me years to come out and say it, and I just did it spontaneously on Loose Women. The repercussions
01:30:09.080
on my family have been horrendous. Did some of them not believe you? They didn't believe
01:30:14.180
me. They had to go at my mum. You know, it went all the way back to Pakistan and the family
01:30:19.400
there. So, look. Which illustrates perfectly why, as a 13-year-old or whatever, you wouldn't
01:30:24.380
come out and say something. Absolutely you wouldn't. So, when they talk about my behaviour,
01:30:29.200
I don't think, I can, I understand people's questioning of the tactics of the English Defence
01:30:33.860
League or the aggressive street presence of the English Defence League, but without the English
01:30:38.480
Defence League, we still won't have the conversation back then. But it's not just the English Defence
01:30:41.940
League, Tommy. So, for instance, when, I think it was in Leeds Crown Court, where you breached
01:30:48.140
a court order, where you're recording those. Again, I didn't breach a court order. So, let
01:30:52.080
me tell you what happened. Okay, you tell me, and then we'll talk about it. So, I did breach
01:30:56.540
the law in Canterbury Court. So, basically, there was a, I read this story, I got contacted
01:31:01.960
by people in Canterbury who said that Muslims run in a takeaway, a young 14-year-old girl
01:31:07.220
was drunk. She got lost. She went in and asked for directions. They took her upstairs
01:31:10.980
on her mattress and six of them raped her, one by one. All of their DNA was found and
01:31:15.720
they're all out on bail. One of them has skipped and gone to Italy. They changed the name of
01:31:20.280
the shop and reopened the shop. So, I was thinking, well, that can't really have happened.
01:31:24.600
Yeah? So, I've gone down there. I've gone down to Canterbury. I've stood and watched the
01:31:28.380
shop. I've looked at the ownership, looked at the change of name, thinking, that's still
01:31:32.760
the shop. They're still the same people. As I've done that, kids are walking past, going
01:31:37.600
in the shop. So, I went up to people and said, do you know what these men have done in this
01:31:40.940
shop? I was like, what? No. I'm thinking, well, people need to know. So, then I thought, right,
01:31:46.620
I'm going to get the men. I'm going to get a picture of them. So, I went outside Canterbury
01:31:49.640
Court because the men were starting their first day of trial. Yeah? So, I went outside Canterbury
01:31:53.260
Court and they were already in court. Now, I didn't know at this time that you cannot film
01:31:57.540
on court property. So, if you stand on the court steps and film, which is what I'd done,
01:32:01.420
I filmed myself. The judge let the men use a back exit. So, the judge protected the alleged
01:32:06.080
paedophiles. Well, not alleged. They got 25 years in the end. One of them never got one.
01:32:10.240
But, so, at this point, I went home after that video.
01:32:13.500
But you say protect, Tommy. But isn't that part of what the judge should have done for
01:32:17.620
that case? I think what the judge should have done, when there's six DNA matches on six paedophiles
01:32:20.900
who had raped a young English child, they should have been in jail on remand. But they
01:32:24.120
weren't. They were walking the streets. There was still a danger to the community.
01:32:27.080
And someone needed to warn the community. Yeah? So, that's what I went to do. Now,
01:32:31.180
the next morning, at six in the morning, boom, my door goes through and I'm dragged down to
01:32:34.540
Canterbury Court before the same judge. Yeah? Who, bear in mind, again, it's pretty embarrassing
01:32:39.080
for the judge. She's let these out on bail. They shouldn't be out on bail. So, then I'm before
01:32:42.520
the judge and she gives me a three-month suspended sentence. Yeah? Because I breached the law by
01:32:46.920
filming myself on court property. Now, after this, have you heard of Kingsley Napoli? No.
01:32:51.240
One of London's leading law firms. Remember, I'm a citizen journalist. Yeah? So, I haven't
01:32:55.840
studied. I've become a journalist. I've gone from street protest movement and I left the
01:33:00.540
English Defence League in 2014 and I went to prison and I come out of prison and Ezra Levant
01:33:06.360
in Canada offered me a job and said, please make videos for us. And then I started making
01:33:10.820
videos, realised that instead of talking to people on the street, what I need people to
01:33:15.020
see is what I've seen. I need them to understand what I understand now from growing up in Luton,
01:33:19.420
the problems, the dangers. I want to bring the issues that these lot aren't talking about
01:33:24.440
into the average home. So, we'll bypass the mainstream media and we'll have people sitting
01:33:28.820
on their, sitting at home in their lounge watching this. Yeah? So, that's, I realised
01:33:32.240
this is what we need to be doing. So, I've become a citizen journalist and I didn't know
01:33:36.820
the laws. So, I've set, I paid myself to go on a course with Kingsley Napoli where they
01:33:42.440
taught me, you cannot assume guilt. I didn't know all this. Yeah? You can't say he's a
01:33:46.760
people. Yeah? It's an allegation. If someone's charged with, I didn't know this, if someone's
01:33:51.920
charged with an attack. By the way, I'm only laughing because it sounds funny. To be
01:33:55.620
fair, when we started it, we started this on Exaculous and we, we weren't trained journalists
01:33:59.380
either. We had to have people explain like libel laws because we used to joke about, you
01:34:03.660
know, big corporations, they're all stealing money, they're all doing this. You get sued.
01:34:06.820
And then somebody will be like, you're going to get done for this. The Halal Authority,
01:34:09.340
they sue everyone. Yeah. To talk about Halal. Yeah. So, again, I, I went, I'm just giving
01:34:14.300
context to what you're saying. I went through that same process. Right. Of trying to understand.
01:34:17.400
So, I paid this law firm and went down and had training. We had training all the time
01:34:21.340
to understand you can say this, can't say this, don't assume guilt. And you see if there's
01:34:25.260
a report restriction. Right? This is the government, this is on the judiciary website. The judge
01:34:30.360
has no power to put a report and restriction on information that's already in the public
01:34:34.180
domain. So, when the grooming gangs, the police start making arrests and they start charging
01:34:40.000
and bringing court cases against these gangs. 2012, it probably started the cases.
01:34:45.040
There's a case in Oxford. In that case in Oxford, what we heard, because when there's
01:34:49.540
a six-week trial and the media are sitting in court, they're writing everything every
01:34:53.560
day. So, we're getting six weeks worth of news. We're finding out the girls are called
01:34:57.220
gula, dirty gula. So, they're racial crimes against the girls. There's religious comments
01:35:03.040
against the girls. The girl was heated up on her iron rod. She was 12 years old and he
01:35:08.440
had a letter M and he heated it up and he scolded her bum because she was the property of
01:35:12.140
Mohammed. Another girl, they took her tongue and they nailed it to a table. Another girl,
01:35:16.680
they took to the woods and they poured gasoline over her and to scare the hell out of her.
01:35:21.220
She's urinating herself in the woods. These are the... So, we found out a lot of the details
01:35:25.100
here in this one case. What the government did after that, because whilst they have to
01:35:29.720
deal with it, they don't want everyone knowing what's going on. What they then did is they
01:35:33.280
brought in reporting restrictions for every single case. So, now, so with the Leeds case,
01:35:37.040
for example, there's a six to eight-week trial and there's reporting restrictions,
01:35:41.000
which what that means is they banned any of the details being spoken about until the end
01:35:45.440
of the trial. So, instead of getting six weeks worth of news and commentary, you get one day's
01:35:49.700
news at the end. 30 men convicted. You don't get the details. You get one day's news.
01:35:53.780
So, very clever by the government and that's what they've done on all these trials. So,
01:35:56.840
when I went up to Leeds, I stood outside. I said, right. And if you watch the video,
01:36:00.560
what I said is, I've got Muslim lads I grew up with who would want to punch these men's head
01:36:04.800
in, yeah, for the allegations they face. So, again, it's not all Muslims that are doing this.
01:36:09.420
But, there's a problem here and I get the facts of the case that were already in the public domain.
01:36:14.920
Bearing in mind, I'd looked at this gang. I knew what chicken shops they were working in.
01:36:17.800
I knew they were still in contact with kids. I didn't let on any of that. I said,
01:36:21.060
these are the men's names from a BBC website. Here, let me read you their names. I read the 30
01:36:25.440
names or, obviously, 30% of them call Mohammed. All of them are Muslim, bar one. So, I read the names,
01:36:30.900
read the alleged crimes, read the alleged victims. Police then come up to me outside,
01:36:34.580
my court. They arrest me for breach of the peace. And I'll say, what breach of the peace?
01:36:38.840
I'm then put before the judge. Now, he, the judge, Judge Marston, gave me a 13-month prison sentence
01:36:44.720
within two hours. So, I wasn't allowed to speak to my own legal brief. They said no. I wasn't asked
01:36:49.340
if I was guilty or not guilty. I was carted off to prison for 13 months. And then, two hours later,
01:36:54.920
my car's still outside the court. I've gone to work. I'm a journalist. I've gone to work. But before I've
01:36:59.840
done that, I also know the rules of court are, if there's a reporting restriction, it has to be on the door.
01:37:03.860
And it has to be on the screen. So, I went into court. I took a picture of the door. I took a
01:37:07.780
picture of the screen. I kept those pictures. I produced them in court. There was no reporting
01:37:12.020
restriction knowledge. But I believed there was a reporting restriction. So, I still stuck to the
01:37:16.020
guidelines of if there was a reporting restriction. So, I didn't mention anything other than what the
01:37:20.540
judge has no power to limit. So, originally, the allegation was I breached a reporting restriction.
01:37:25.840
Yeah. So, they locked me up for 13 months. Tell the whole country I pled guilty. I'm sitting
01:37:29.240
watching. I'm in jail. I'm transferred from. I'm putting HMP Hull 13 months. When he put me in jail
01:37:35.380
that day, he let all the, we can now call them paedophiles because they're all convicted. He let
01:37:39.280
them go home. One of them packed his suitcase and has never faced justice. He was more worried about
01:37:42.860
me than he was about the paedophile. So, they've all gone to prison. I'm in jail 10 to 11 weeks.
01:37:49.720
I get moved from HMP Hull, which has a 4-5% Muslim population, where I was okay, to HMP
01:37:55.480
Only, which has a 33% Muslim population. Now, this was a damaging sentence for me. It was damaging
01:37:59.940
for my mental health. It changed me as a person. I went into jail with one person and come out
01:38:04.160
another because I spent 11 weeks in solitary confinement with no food, no one to contact
01:38:08.060
because I couldn't eat the food because it's by Muslim. I had five tins of tuna. That got me
01:38:11.220
through a week. Five tins of tuna was all I had. So, I went through all this. During that prison
01:38:16.280
sentence, they played so many games. They come to my cell and said, where's your wife?
01:38:19.860
I said, I don't even get a phone. I get a phone call at lunchtime, yeah? My wife worked
01:38:24.000
in a school. My kids are at school. So, I only got to speak at a weekend. So, I'm sat
01:38:27.300
in this cell all day. What do you mean, where's my wife? Well, there's intelligence. She's
01:38:29.940
going to be attacked with acid. And then they shut the door. And then that would drive
01:38:33.800
you mad, yeah? And they knocked on my wife's door. They knocked on my mum's door, giving
01:38:36.660
them all these intelligence. I'm in there. I get 13 months. And after 11 weeks, it goes
01:38:41.780
to the High Court of London, where we find out, not my words again, the entire process
01:38:46.660
was flawed. Judge Marston had done nothing that he was supposed to have done.
01:38:49.720
I wasn't asked to plead guilty or not guilty. I wasn't given time to prepare anything.
01:38:54.240
So, I'm released from prison. Now, the story they went with was that I breached a reporting
01:38:58.200
restriction. They then had to change that, yeah? Because I'm released from prison. I'm
01:39:03.080
let go. I walk out. And at this point, 660,000 people signed a petition demanding my release.
01:39:09.620
30,000 people marched on Parliament. When I come out of prison, the government were doing
01:39:13.480
government-funded questionnaires on social media about people's views of me. So, they were
01:39:18.940
obviously worried, saying his popularity's grown from this case. There was a free Tommy
01:39:24.160
movement worldwide. Gert Wilders flew into London, spoke at a demonstration. He's now won
01:39:30.080
the election in Holland. A congressman, Gossard, Paul Gossard, flew in from America and spoke
01:39:35.300
at the same event, saying, release him now. This is outrageous. He's a journalist. Americans
01:39:39.480
can't understand the reporting restriction thing, because rather than limit the public
01:39:43.080
in America, they just limit the jury. They put them in hotels. They let the public know
01:39:46.520
everything. You can watch live cases. But this all happens. I'm released from prison.
01:39:50.360
I then find out when I'm released that there's a documentary being made by Panorama to take
01:39:56.760
me down. Yes. Have you watched Panorama? Yeah. What a work of art it was, eh? So, I then
01:40:03.180
find out they're doing a documentary against me. I send someone undercover into them. So,
01:40:08.100
when I send someone undercover into them, at this same point, the government have took this
01:40:13.080
case back to the Old Bailey. Now, when it goes to the Old Bailey, now I've got a chance
01:40:16.740
to defend myself. I produced the pictures that show there was no reporting restriction.
01:40:20.420
I produced the judiciary guidance on their own website, that the judge has no power to
01:40:26.720
report, to limit anything that's already in the public domain. I produce all of this.
01:40:30.060
It goes before the head judge, and he kicks it back to the government and lets me go.
01:40:33.280
There's a video of me coming out of court. We're all singing. It's great. It gets kicked
01:40:37.140
back to the government. The case is gone, yeah? I then produced a documentary called Panorama,
01:40:42.500
where I exposed that Panorama was being used. It basically had the head of Panorama sitting
01:40:48.360
down, telling people what to say in the interview, making agreements and deals with people, making
01:40:53.100
sexual allegations against me. If this documentary would have gone out, it would have finished
01:40:56.500
me. I'd have been finished, yeah? Maybe that's what's happening. Russell Brand, who knows?
01:40:59.760
Maybe it's what's happening with other people. Who knows? I don't trust anything anymore,
01:41:02.340
yeah? But Panorama, I produce a counter-documentary to it, which ends their documentary, and I produce
01:41:08.340
it and release it online. It has 2 million views in 48 hours. From this, I'm deleted off of
01:41:13.840
every social media, and the Attorney General re-prosecutes me for the offence that's gone,
01:41:19.520
yeah? I'm taken back to court. Do you know what they've done? The judge, the judge, the
01:41:23.440
head judge of the Old Bailey who removed it, and you can look this up, the head judge of
01:41:26.880
the Old Bailey who said no and sent it back to the government, they removed him, and they
01:41:30.920
replaced him with the first ever head female judge, Dane Victoria Sharp. I then go before
01:41:35.200
Dane Victoria Sharp, yeah? And this is, I should do a documentary about it to show people
01:41:39.980
what happened. When I'm outside Leeds Crown Court, what I said on my video is I said to
01:41:44.760
the media, to the journalists who have harassed me, even this week harassing me, flying to
01:41:49.040
Tenerife, you're always flying to my holidays. I said, instead of harassing me, why don't
01:41:53.520
you harass these men? They've raped 100 kids. Why aren't you at their businesses? Why aren't
01:41:58.520
you taking pictures of their families instead of target me? I said, so don't harass me, harass
01:42:02.580
them. But it's very clear if you watch the context of the video that I'm talking to
01:42:06.580
the media. Dane Victoria Sharp cuts that video and says that I caused fear, alarm to
01:42:14.460
the Muslim paedophiles as they walked into court. To be fair, Tommy, because I know people
01:42:19.600
in that courtroom, they also said that these were the people who were just involved in
01:42:23.120
the case, but not the Muslim paedophiles. They were scared because there was an element
01:42:31.120
No, on my case, it was just me. My first case, it was just me. So my first case, as they
01:42:36.080
walked into court, I said, all I said to him, very calmly, how do you feel about your verdict?
01:42:40.300
He said, fuck you, I'll rib your mum. Okay, not a surprise for me, hearing that from you,
01:42:49.260
I mean, that's one way to incriminate yourself.
01:42:50.600
That's what you call a credible threat right there, right?
01:42:53.180
So then, so all I asked was that as a journalist. All I asked was that. So when Dane Victoria
01:42:59.160
Sharp has me in court, what I'd done is, as I walked into court and all the journalists,
01:43:03.180
a whole scrum of them come around me, I just showed her the video. I said, well, what's
01:43:07.560
the difference? Because look what they've just done to me. That's all I've done to them.
01:43:11.440
So if I made them feel unsafe, they've made me feel unsafe, no? But this is where they
01:43:18.260
All right, we're getting into the weeds here. Let's talk about what we're actually talking about.
01:43:22.200
Well, they sent me back to jail for that, for causing alarm and distress to the Muslim
01:43:24.940
paedophiles. They gave me another 10 months. So I spent time on solitary.
01:43:27.780
They sent me back into Belmarsh for a crime I've already sent jail for. And they, and
01:43:32.180
deplatformed me. I was deleted off YouTube, deleted off Facebook, made a, made a dangerous
01:43:36.220
person. The reason, and the point of this is all because I exposed the BBC, all because
01:43:41.080
I made a documentary, watch it, panadrama at trfilms.co.uk. All my documentaries are
01:43:46.060
there. I'm not just saying it, my journalism and investigative journalism, I think it's the
01:43:54.500
Did you know that saffron has been shown in human studies to help you fall asleep faster,
01:44:01.040
stay asleep longer, and wake up without grogginess? That's what makes evening being by Verso so
01:44:06.640
interesting. Most saffron supplements don't work because they contain cheap, unstandardized
01:44:11.480
saffron, often cut with fillers or low-potency extract. Evening being contains only the most
01:44:17.100
researched bioavailable extracts available. Paired with other clinically studied ingredients,
01:44:22.100
drinking evening being of an evening promotes relaxation and deep, uninterrupted sleep. Check
01:44:27.780
it out at ver.so. Evening being customers soon become fanatics. Here are some of the
01:44:34.440
things people are saying. Dennis said, I've had trouble sleeping for years and evening being
01:44:39.140
is the only thing that keeps me asleep at night. And David wrote, I was pleasantly surprised
01:44:44.300

01:44:56.400
What I'm really interested in, Tommy, and I think it's really important to have this conversation
01:44:59.900
properly, right, is you talk about the fact that you're a very smart guy, I can tell.
01:45:07.540
Very smart. We've sat across some of the most intelligent people in the world. You're a smart
01:45:11.120
guy, right? But you were not educated. You just had experiences when you were growing up.
01:45:15.240
Is that fair to say, right? That's fair to say. So you know this. You know this. You've seen that.
01:45:19.040
You've seen this happen to your cousin. All of these things are going on. You experience things.
01:45:23.160
But then, and this is where I really want to hear your opinion, right, is you started to actually
01:45:28.880
study. You started to look at Islam. You read the Quran. You tried to understand the scriptural
01:45:34.260
part of all of this, right? And this is really where I think a lot of the conversation is now at,
01:45:39.140
which is about Islam and the West, compatibility. Why is it that things are becoming more tense?
01:45:46.840
Why is it that thing you talk about how when Muslims fight, non-Muslims, even your Muslim
01:45:52.160
friends will join them rather than you, right? So what is it that you've learned and what is it that
01:45:58.880
you believe about Islam? Can you explain that part to people?
01:46:01.780
Yeah. So 2010, it's the Quran. 2010, I'm in jail. I'm doing 22 weeks of solitary confinement
01:46:12.780
Do you know what it was? I'll tell you the truth. I sort of like lived my life where I think
01:46:18.360
if you worry about consequence, you're never going to bring about change. And I wanted change.
01:46:22.120
So I felt at that time in 2000, I went to America 2009 or 10. I was detained at JFK and deported.
01:46:29.700
And I thought, no, I've got an important message to give America. And so I went again on a friend's
01:46:34.020
passport. I got in. Yeah, I got in. And I gave a speech called a warning to America. And what I've
01:46:38.980
always said is I wish someone come to my town 30 years ago and said, listen, this is what's going
01:46:43.280
to happen unless you stop it. So I went to America knowing what I was doing was wrong, knowing it was
01:46:47.960
risky. I thought I'd end up in jail in America, but I didn't. I got detained here when I got back.
01:46:52.420
And I spent 22 weeks in storage confinement. Now, a Muslim outreach.
01:46:55.560
Mate, you know what? You're fucking insane. You know that? Like, from what I've seen of
01:46:59.860
American prison, that is not a place you want to go to voluntarily.
01:47:02.800
No, you know, crazily, crazily, I thought, I thought at the time, remember, we began the
01:47:07.900
English Defence League. I, and I, I'm a deep thinker. Yeah. Yeah. I believe this country's in
01:47:12.620
danger. And I believe my children are in danger. And I believe the enjoyment and freedoms
01:47:17.660
we've all had are going to be eroded and taken. And the kids won't have them.
01:47:21.640
And this is far bigger than me or my kids. This is about a generation of our kids. And
01:47:25.300
I believe that. And I've believed it since my, since growing up.
01:47:31.780
I mean that the ability to speak, um, cause they just curtail and suppress and it suits
01:47:37.040
the government as well. So they create the problem a lot of the time, which they're doing.
01:47:40.220
And I think maybe I've played my part in that role where they want us all clashing with each
01:47:44.260
other. Cause as we're clashing with each other, we're not looking at them and they want everyone
01:47:48.340
separated into gay, straight, black, white, BLM, this group, that group. You're all warring
01:47:52.840
with each other. And whilst you're warring with each other, they're implementing so many
01:47:56.400
laws that you're not, not even listening about. And all those laws are going to curtail and
01:47:59.600
prohibit your speech and your ability to even have discussions on any of these issues.
01:48:03.340
And the reason being that most of the issues are coming from the government. It's their
01:48:07.180
failure. It's all their problems. I don't blame Muslims for coming here. I don't blame
01:48:10.280
Muslims in the UK for wanting Sharia law because this tells them to all here. So I don't blame
01:48:13.840
Well, let's come back to that, right? So, so, so you go to America, you, you, you, because
01:48:20.980
I spent two days in New York. You know, if you know, you know, if I knew I was going to do
01:48:23.700
22 weeks in solitary confinement, I'd spend a few months touring.
01:48:27.300
I spent two days. I've got 22 weeks in solitary. Whilst I'm in there, I get sent a Quran by Muslims.
01:48:34.720
So I take the Quran. I think, right, I've got a lot of time on my hands here. Mm-hmm.
01:48:37.960
Mm-hmm. Let's have a look at this book, all right? Now, I don't know how many people
01:48:41.180
know this, but the Quran is not in chronological order. I didn't know this. So one thing Muhammad
01:48:45.880
says one day is next to something he says 20 years later. So for you to try and, any of
01:48:50.180
us to try and make sense, it's like what the Christians used to do. They wanted everyone
01:48:53.240
illiterate so they could control the population, yeah? Mm-hmm.
01:48:56.480
The Quran is like an encrypted war manual that you can't make sense of, yeah? And it's important
01:49:00.920
that you can make sense of it because abrogation in Islam means whatever Muhammad says later
01:49:04.900
in his life supersedes to what he says earlier. Mm-hmm.
01:49:06.700
So if there's two contradictory verses, if he says love the Jews and then later he says
01:49:10.120
kill the Jews, then which one did he say later? Mm-hmm.
01:49:12.900
This one matters. This prohibits this one. So they give me the Quran. And then I thought,
01:49:16.440
right, let me make a few points here. Let me make, do not be friends with Christians
01:49:21.140
or Jews. And I challenge anyone to do this. Pick up a Quran and go through and make reference
01:49:27.120
to the verses that tell you not to be friends with Christians or Jews. And I started writing
01:49:31.380
these verses and I had pages of them. And I was like, it was like a jigsaw just fell
01:49:35.220
into place. Everything I've seen growing up, the Muslim playground, the Muslim dinner tour,
01:49:40.540
the friends who side with them. Well, they're taught from a little age. Supremacy. They're taught
01:49:45.620
not to be friends with us. They can't be friends with us. 70% of this book talks about us. How
01:49:50.720
they need to treat us. So as I'm reading it, I started making sense of it. And that was
01:49:55.160
my, and I didn't stop after that, if I'm honest. I didn't stop learning. And then I got, when
01:49:59.800
I got out of jail, I thought, right, many people watching this probably just think Jesus is
01:50:03.800
like Muhammad. Muhammad is like Jesus. Two prophets, two alleged prophets. Right. They're
01:50:09.120
nothing like each other. Because I took the biography of Muhammad by Ibn Ishtak. So I like to go
01:50:13.500
to the sources, the most recognized and renowned sources in the Islamic world. So again, not Tommy
01:50:18.620
Robinson's opinion. This is not my story. This is the Islamic scholars of history, the best ones
01:50:24.580
there are, of their life of Muhammad. So I started reading Life of Muhammad. And I read it. I'm always
01:50:29.920
a Jewish tribe, Surrender. And he, and this is why it's important. So people understand how important
01:50:34.800
scripture is. Do you remember the Peshwar school attacks? I don't know. In Pakistan. So the Taliban
01:50:39.540
or Al-Qaeda, one of the two, they attacked a school and there was outrage about it. But what
01:50:44.780
they did when they attacked school is they pulled the pants down of all the kids. And anyone who started
01:50:48.060
puberty was killed and beheaded. And anyone who hadn't was sacrificed as war booty. Well, that's
01:50:54.240
exactly what Muhammad did. This is why the scripture is important. So the Jewish tribes surrender. Now, when
01:50:58.580
they surrender, Muhammad tortures Qanaana. He's the leader of the Jewish tribe, setting fire to
01:51:02.620
his stomach to rob his gold. So profit is this? I'm thinking, what sort of man is this? Jesus says,
01:51:09.140
turn the other cheek. Muhammad's torturing and burning people and robbing them. So he's robbing
01:51:12.840
them. And then after robbing them, he takes that, that night, Sophia. So anyone, any Muslims, and when
01:51:18.520
I have this conversation with Muslims, I don't even know about this. Half of them. I said, he took the
01:51:23.040
man's wife that night and married her. Now, here's the two different worldviews. I see that as raping the
01:51:28.100
man's wife that night. Other Muslims have said, well, no, he saved her from a life of slavery,
01:51:31.900
from all the other men raping her. Because he took her. He was actually really good because
01:51:35.460
he saved her. He's like, what? But anyway, he beheads these people. He does this. And I started
01:51:40.280
going through his life. And he walks past another Muslim at another point. And this is all in
01:51:43.820
scripture. And he says, have you derogued her? He's on about another slave. Said, no, give her air.
01:51:48.500
So then I started understanding. And I started finding verses in here. There's four that say,
01:51:53.940
outside of the four wives, what Muhammad tells you is you can take non-Muslim women as sexual slaves.
01:51:58.580
And you'll blame, one of the verses says you're actually blameless. So I think
01:52:01.880
well, Rotherham, Telford, all these towns and cities, are they taking non-Muslim women as sexual
01:52:06.880
slaves? Now, this is not confusing. Boko Haram's leader, when they took the girls in Nigeria,
01:52:11.940
come out and said, Muhammad has commanded us to do this. Well, he has. Read the scripture.
01:52:15.900
Al-Qaeda, ISIS, what did they do to the Yazidi? This is not made up. There's not 30, 40 different
01:52:22.340
terrorist groups all singing off the same hymn sheet. This is a problem. And again, it's great
01:52:27.720
that the majority of Muslims don't read this and take it literally. That's great.
01:52:32.720
But the problem's coming from this. And I tried to have this conversation with Piers Morgan. We'll get
01:52:36.640
on to him. I tried to. I tried to have this conversation. So what I've done, as I learned
01:52:41.540
and learned more, I then learned about Islam. I learned about Muhammad. I think we need to
01:52:45.760
understand who Muhammad was. If we've got four million British Muslims now who think Muhammad
01:52:49.840
was perfect, and Muhammad married a six-year-old girl and he raped her when she was nine, we're going to
01:52:54.720
have a problem. If Muhammad beheaded and took sexual slaves, we're going to have a problem.
01:52:59.660
If Muhammad taught all this... In the Quran, 7% of Mein Kampf is due hatred. 7%. 11% of that book.
01:53:07.380
Mein Kampf is banned. This isn't banned. This is taught across the whole country. Now, you're
01:53:12.840
not even allowed to have this conversation. And the Labour government...
01:53:16.200
We're having it, but Labour government want to bring in Islamophobia laws that would prevent
01:53:20.720
Yeah. And you say you're allowed it. We've come a long way.
01:53:26.660
This is fair. Look, this is why I wanted to ask you about this, Tommy, because I don't
01:53:33.100
know exactly what I think about it. I just want to hear your opinion because you've been
01:53:37.080
talking about this for a very long time. And I think you have been... I was going to say
01:53:42.240
demonized. And I think it's probably the correct term. You have been demonized for talking
01:53:45.240
about it. But I also think as the nature of what has been happening in this country is
01:53:50.100
coming out, that I know just speaking to lots of people, that these are people who are not
01:53:56.180
going to be on the streets in a riot. These are people who are sitting in TV studios and
01:53:59.820
they're doing comedy and they're doing journalism and they're doing politics and none of them
01:54:05.580
will ever say anything publicly. But there are a lot of people now who are going, you know
01:54:09.360
what? Tommy's been saying a lot of things that have been proven correct. So that's just
01:54:14.160
where we're at. People can pretend that's not happening. That is what's happening, right?
01:54:19.100
But what I'm trying to understand is what it is that you're saying, because one of the things
01:54:23.040
that I don't understand, genuinely don't understand, is where we go from here, right? What is it
01:54:30.020
that you think we ought to do? Because what you're saying, correct me if any of this is not
01:54:35.020
your view, right? What you're really saying is Islamic doctrine is divisive and hateful
01:54:42.180
towards non-Muslims and it is about domination, right?
01:54:47.180
And it's incompatible with Western freedom and democracy.
01:54:49.240
And it's incompatible with Western freedom and democracy, which is where I think a lot
01:54:53.700
of people's concern with that message is for the simple reason of like, what do we do?
01:55:01.060
If we accept this, if you accept we're right, what the hell are you going to do?
01:55:07.560
And not just got four million Muslims, but you've got Saudi and Qatar own half the capital
01:55:11.420
city. The money is embedded in the nation. Qatar has spent three quarters of a billion
01:55:14.980
pounds. Qatar houses Hamas. Qatar has spent three quarters of a billion pounds radicalising
01:55:19.560
Muslims across Europe. They've messed up the whole of France.
01:55:22.300
To be fair, Tommy, Qatar and Saudi are two very different states.
01:55:25.840
Yeah, they are, because Saudi actually, Saudi under the new king, are actually coming quite
01:55:30.140
progressive and actually trying to deal with some of these...
01:55:34.460
This is another part of the discussion, which is really, I think, really important. And you
01:55:38.660
keep saying that, and I think it's important to emphasise. I've come back from Uzbekistan
01:55:42.360
a couple of months ago, and I grew up in Uzbekistan.
01:55:45.820
Soviet Muslim country, right? They don't have a problem with this shit. They don't have grooming
01:55:50.640
gangs. They don't have extremists. The extremists they have all leave because they make
01:55:55.360
life intolerable for them, right? UAE, Saudi Arabia, a lot of Muslim countries are
01:56:00.020
actually much better at dealing with Islamic extremism than we are, right?
01:56:03.520
There's a reason for that as well. There's a reason for that. So UAE, Saudi, they ban
01:56:08.280
all these extremist groups. Muslim Brotherhood, not allowed to operate. We actually give home
01:56:12.640
to these groups because it supported British foreign policy. With the war in Afghanistan,
01:56:17.480
with the Soviet, we wanted a Muzhra Hadeen. We funded the Muzhra Hadeen.
01:56:23.500
The Americans and us, we gave home to their leaders in Europe. We allowed them to grow,
01:56:29.020
foster, and all of a sudden, Boris Johnson, put it on here. This is Boris Johnson. Remember
01:56:34.620
what it says in the Holy Quran, slay the unbelievers wherever you can find them. We will perform
01:56:41.560
jihad against the kafir, the unbelievers. That was in Boris Johnson's book, 72 Virgins.
01:56:45.620
So he knows what Islam is. But then when he comes in power, he totally pretends he doesn't.
01:56:50.580
He fully gets it. And why does he do that? So there's many that understand it. Boris Johnson's
01:56:56.180
one of them. But he's a coward. And he took a different line. So when we say, what are we
01:57:00.980
going to do? And most of these countries come down hard, but we didn't. We give home. The
01:57:05.040
Muslim Brotherhood have got offices in our capital cities. It's like they wouldn't be allowed
01:57:10.000
No. Now, Saudi Arabia understand that you can't give any homage to Hezbollah, Hamas,
01:57:14.960
these terrorist groups. And look at what's happened in Iran. But I think most people in
01:57:18.540
our country need to understand how quickly a country can change. Look what happened to
01:57:23.860
Iran under the Ayatollah. Look at the Islamic Revolution. They went from freedom-loving
01:57:28.340
liberals. Women walking around miniskirts. And I remember there's videos of them laughing
01:57:33.240
in halls when they say, women will have to wear a hijab. Well, now you get killed if you
01:57:37.400
don't. And that happened quickly. So the question always is...
01:57:42.500
What do we do? What do we do? Because as you say, there are lots of Muslims in this
01:57:46.280
country who are great. Like the stereotypical grooming gang perpetrator is like a taxi driver,
01:57:52.780
right? I've said this before. The taxi driver that drives my wife and son around when they
01:57:56.860
need to go somewhere is an Afghan man. I would trust no one more than him to take care of my
01:58:02.440
wife and son because they're really good people. Middle class family, wonderful people,
01:58:06.160
right? So there are millions of Muslims in this country, actually, who are not in any
01:58:10.300
way a threat or a problem, right? Is that fair?
01:58:13.600
That's fair, but there's millions that are. Here's the problem.
01:58:15.540
I don't know. Well, you think there's millions of Muslims?
01:58:17.040
23% want Sharia law in this country. It's well over a million that are a problem. They need to leave.
01:58:22.400
I would say, how much of this is culture? Like we know, for instance, with the grooming gangs,
01:58:27.640
they come, the vast majority of them come from a very specific region in Pakistan,
01:58:30.880
and Kashmir. So how much of that is a cultural issue and how much of that is Islam? Because we
01:58:39.320
Well, there's lots of Sikhs in this country who come from Kashmir. They're not raping kids.
01:58:43.020
But there's also Armanis and Saudis in this country are not raping kids either.
01:58:46.500
No, they're not. But if you look at the gangs, and I've done the demographics of the gangs,
01:58:50.660
Somali, Afghani, Iraqi. Yes, the vast majority are Pakistani. You know, the vast majority,
01:58:56.080
Muslims in the UK are Pakistani. That's it. Now, if we look at, it's Moroccans who are doing
01:59:00.740
it in Holland. There was a film called Loverboy created in 2007, and our pathetic country didn't
01:59:05.760
allow it to be played in our schools. They clamped down because it was racist, yeah? Now,
01:59:09.360
that film was an educational film to be played to children, to educate them on the loverboy
01:59:13.240
techniques. Grooming, right? 2007, how many kids could have been saved? But because of racism,
01:59:18.400
and if we just rewind a little bit, just to make one clarification. When I set up the English
01:59:22.280
Fence League, as a street protest movement on the street, what would you want? Because we had
01:59:26.020
a lesbian and gay division. We had a Jewish division. We had a Hindu division. We made
01:59:30.200
it very clear of who we were and what our mission statement was. Do you know that Scotland Yard
01:59:34.640
have a metropolitan domestic extremism unit? And the head of that unit come out and made
01:59:40.760
a statement saying the English Fence League are not far right. So although everyone now
01:59:43.560
believes the English Fence League was a far right movement, that's because the media told
01:59:46.580
you 10,000 times it was far right. So it becomes far right. Same as me. But it wasn't.
01:59:51.080
There were problems with it. It attracted the brave and the strange and the dangerous
01:59:55.240
at times. But fast forward to where we are. What do we do if you accept this problem?
01:59:59.740
And that's this where the government just buried a head. And what do we do? Well, you need
02:00:03.120
to start addressing it. You really need to address it. And what we're seeing now in the
02:00:06.080
swing across the whole of Europe, I've been saying it for years. When the cat's out of
02:00:09.960
the bag, which it is now, the bubbles burst, the dam's broke. The country's awake. Everyone
02:00:15.220
can see it. This ain't going away. So to keep on what Keir Starmer tried to do.
02:00:20.000
So after the riots, after Southport, which again, people talk about, you know, like you
02:00:25.440
said, there was a worry about me because there's an element of violence at times. That's just
02:00:29.020
me defending myself. If you listen to my message, do you know after Lee Rigby's attack? After
02:00:33.340
Lee Rigby beheaded someone, I stood to 10,000 English Fence League supporters in Newcastle.
02:00:38.160
My speech said, there's 600 Muslims serving in the British Armed Forces. They're doing a hell
02:00:42.060
of a lot more for this country than we are. If you abuse a Muslim woman walking down the street,
02:00:45.760
you're a coward. Smash up a mosque, you're a moron. Yeah. So my message has always been
02:00:50.460
this. Yeah. Now that doesn't excuse that there's elements of, there's been problems
02:00:54.340
because there's a level of aggression and anger in this country, which has been simmered
02:00:58.520
and underneath and boiling for decades. And at times it's come up. So how do you do that?
02:01:03.740
You need to harness it and channel it. When the riots went in the Southport, I made it very
02:01:07.840
clear. I made videos. And the reason why I made videos is because I was worried for those
02:01:10.960
young men. Yeah. Because I understand their anger. Because 20 years ago, I put on the balaclava.
02:01:15.760
I run through the streets of Luton. So I get what you're doing, but there's a better way
02:01:19.880
than that. Which is what? Which is, I remember making a video saying, where are the men?
02:01:25.220
Get those kids masks off their faces. Because they're all kids. When I was watching the trouble
02:01:28.580
going on, they're just young kids. They're going to ruin their whole lives. They're going
02:01:30.860
to get put in jail. And they're angry. I believe they are justifiably angry. That's
02:01:35.960
what I believe. That level of anger. If we look at where the protests were, Hull, is it
02:01:40.740
Hull or Hartlepool? Hartlepool or Hull, one of them. A Muslim man in the hotel,
02:01:45.760
left the hotel and stabbed a pensioner to death for Gaza. Don't even know if people
02:01:50.580
know about this. In a terrorist attack. He was in the hotel. There were trouble outside
02:01:55.080
that hotel during the riots. Of course there was. There was trouble outside the hotel in
02:01:58.680
Tamworth during the riots because Mohammed left the hotel and raped an English woman
02:02:01.240
who was walking home. Of course there was. In the last, there's been eight Muslim migrants
02:02:05.220
in hotels who have raped women. There's been 25 sexually assaults against kids from migrants
02:02:10.280
in hotels. This week there's been a 12-year-old gap baked by two Afghanis. There's been the
02:02:15.660
attack in Warwickshire. There's been the sexual assault in Epping. And I challenge anyone
02:02:19.260
Some of those cases, we have to say for your benefit, Tom, allegedly. I wouldn't like you
02:02:25.120
to go to prison for something you said on here. Just for people who don't understand
02:02:29.460
British libel law, you have to say that until someone's been found guilty.
02:02:33.480
Right. But even, there's been a city, even, you know, Afghan, they put Libyan forces in
02:02:39.580
a military base. They raped two men. They raped two men. Yeah? Now, so all this is going
02:02:45.860
on, right? We know it's going on. Everyone who lives in these towns and cities knows it's
02:02:49.500
going on. The difference is, this used to be confined to Luton. Right.
02:02:52.180
And towns like Luton. Yeah? Not anymore. It's in your village.
02:02:55.420
So, so just, I, there's a lot of the stuff you've just mentioned there that we've talked
02:03:00.560
about ad nauseum on the show. A lot, right? As you know, I'm first generation immigrant
02:03:05.360
myself. I think illegal immigration is completely unacceptable and just shouldn't be happening.
02:03:09.640
There shouldn't be boats coming over the channel. They should be turned around and taken back
02:03:12.960
to France. Like, none of this should be happening. We shouldn't be putting people up in hotels
02:03:16.960
at the taxpayer's expense. We should be, if you want to have asylum, you process them outside
02:03:23.460
Of course they could. And I think it's a bulls problem. It's not, we don't know how
02:03:26.600
to do it. It's a, we don't have the bulls to do it. Right?
02:03:28.720
Yeah. They will have the bulls when, when they see the public opinion.
02:03:32.260
Exactly. But what I'm asking you is, for example, you mentioned 23% of Muslims in this country
02:03:37.760
watch Sharia law and you said they need to go. Right? So what are you saying? If someone
02:03:41.340
believes in Sharia law, we have to deport them.
02:03:44.140
If someone wants to overthrow the democracy of this nation and replace it with a violent ideology,
02:03:49.140
we need to deal with it. And most of these people, say for example, there's 40,000 British
02:03:53.980
Muslims or Muslims on the terrorist watch list. Right.
02:03:57.960
Out of that 40,000, I think 50% of them hold dual nationality. And they've got to go.
02:04:02.900
There's 3,000 of that 40,000 who are monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week at a cost of
02:04:07.380
£9 billion a year. Now, as the demographic changes, as the demographic changes in this country,
02:04:13.540
we could deal with this, these problems when it was 1% or 2% Muslim population. Yeah. If
02:04:19.580
we get forward to where we're at now, 6%, 7%, and we look at the projected growth forecast
02:04:23.700
of the Islamic community, when we get to 25%, for say, for example, well, that 40,000 is
02:04:28.200
going to double or treble. That's an army. Yeah. That's a problem. How do we afford it?
02:04:32.740
Say Pakistani Muslims make up 3% of the British population. They're responsible for 33% of child
02:04:41.260
Due to cousin marriage. 76% of Muslims in Bradford.
02:04:43.540
Pakistani Muslims marry their cousin. How much is that costing? Why are we tolerating
02:04:47.220
this nonsense? Because Mohammed married his cousin. I don't care what Mohammed done 1,400
02:04:50.440
years ago. You're in Britain. Sort it out. We're not paying for it anymore. Yeah. Well,
02:04:54.360
our country's struggling. Our people are struggling. Our own people on the streets. They're homeless.
02:04:58.640
They're hungry. They can't heat their homes. And whilst this is all going on, you're spending
02:05:03.040
how much on hotels of who? Men who are culturally impossible to integrate or assimilate into
02:05:08.300
this country. And that's just, and that's not being, and do you know what's mad here, which
02:05:12.480
I think needs to come out, is Abu Halima. Abu Halima. Sorry, Abu, I'm going to talk about
02:05:17.160
you. Abu Halima was on the documentary called The Jihadi Next Door. He's one of the country's
02:05:22.220
most biggest Jihadi terrorists. After the Salman Abadi attack in Manchester, I started looking
02:05:27.200
at Manchester. And I saw the Muslim population went from 25,000 to 50,000 in 10 years. The
02:05:31.740
next 10 years went from 50,000 to 100,000. What's going to happen 10 years later? Another
02:05:36.220
10 years. Manchester's gone. That's the reality of it. We were walking into a ticking time
02:05:40.340
ball and no one's addressing it. No one's talking about it. Nigel Flarge even said, I'm not
02:05:43.360
bothered about demographic change. You need to be, mate. Yeah. You need to be. Because
02:05:46.900
as these problems progress and they get bigger and bigger and bigger, how do we deal with
02:05:50.320
it? But anyway, Abu Halima. So I'm messaging him. I get a message just from going to jail when
02:05:54.260
I was arrested on terrorism charges, which I've got a court case coming up for.
02:05:57.160
And he messages saying, Tommy, I've been watching what's going on with you. Do you want to know
02:06:01.740
what's happening? I said, who's that? He goes, Abu Halima. Do you remember me? You come
02:06:05.540
to my house. So after the terrorist attack with Salman Abadi, I looked up the country's
02:06:09.440
most feared terrorists or the biggest jihadists. And I thought, right, where are they? So I
02:06:13.320
went to Abu Halima's house in Northampton. He's four doors up from a school. So if he wants
02:06:18.000
to get a knife, bear in mind what they've just done. If he wants to, no one's stopping
02:06:21.960
him. He's next door to the school. Whose kids are in that school? They're ours. Not
02:06:25.640
Amber Rudd at the time. Not Amber Heard. Or Amber Rudd. Who's Home Secretary? Sorry.
02:06:29.580
Definitely not Amber Heard. No. She was Home Secretary. Her kids ain't in that school.
02:06:34.180
Ours are, yeah. So I went to his school. Police come. And so he said, do you remember you
02:06:37.960
come to my house, Tommy? So I replied saying, you're still a little jihadi, are you? And
02:06:43.220
he said, no, I'm not, Tommy. And it surprised me. I said, what do you mean you're not? He said,
02:06:46.860
I'm still a Muslim. I don't believe any of that madness anymore. And I went, OK. He goes,
02:06:51.860
what they're going to do with you now under terrorism legislation is what they've done with
02:06:54.360
all of us. So we've all been silenced. We're not allowed to talk. We're not allowed to do
02:06:57.320
this, blah, blah, blah. So I'm going back and forth with him in this conversation, trying
02:07:00.400
to get a sit down with him like this so the public can hear this conversation. He said,
02:07:03.760
do you know the biggest threat to Britain, Tommy? I said, what? He said, the boat people.
02:07:07.080
This is the country's biggest jihadist. He's telling me the boat people. He said, what's
02:07:10.620
happening to British people's houses? What's happening to the British people born here?
02:07:13.480
So I think so many people from immigrant background and even Islamic background are looking at what's
02:07:18.820
going on going, what the hell is going on? What the hell is going on? Everyone's too scared to talk
02:07:23.500
about it. And the government, Keir Starmer, so when the riots happened, well, as soon as
02:07:27.920
they mentioned English Defence League, bearing in mind I left the English Defence League in
02:07:30.680
2015. It's been redundant since then. There's no English Defence League. I saw Sadiq Khan
02:07:35.200
talking about it this week. It's like, mate, it's been gone a decade. What are you talking
02:07:38.120
about? You're trying to dig up this old ghost, right? And you dig it up for your own political
02:07:42.440
benefit. And the reason being that rather than Keir Starmer and Labour government say people
02:07:47.340
are angry in every town in the city, which is, is it Friday today? No?
02:07:50.200
Thursday. So tomorrow there's, no, there's 14 protests in different cities, yeah? It's,
02:07:55.500
it's coming, okay? Things are, this problem's not going away for the governments. So as this
02:08:00.600
is going on, Keir Starmer, rather than say the public are angry, far right, English Defence
02:08:06.200
League, everyone's a racist, and not just that, what we're going to do is we're going to get
02:08:09.440
the courts and we're going to scare the hell out of you. And they thought it would work.
02:08:12.520
And it didn't work, did it? Because people are coming back. So when people say about me
02:08:16.600
and my element, I have held three huge rallies now called Unite the Kingdom. I learned a
02:08:21.400
lot. Leading the English Defence League, held eight national demonstrations. I learned when
02:08:25.800
there's problems. I'll be honest, there's demonstrations going on this Friday night.
02:08:29.440
I don't think that's a good idea. I wouldn't organise a demonstration on Friday night. You're
02:08:33.280
going to get people drinking. You're going to get people when it turns dark. If you look
02:08:37.160
at all the demonstrations we organise, they're early, they're away from pubs, and we make sure
02:08:41.420
it's over at an early time, to stop these elements. And the reason being, the government
02:08:46.300
want that. They want you wearing a mask. Take off your mask. Don't wear a balaclava. Because
02:08:52.120
what you do by doing that, if you allow it, which we don't allow, if you allow that, you're
02:08:56.800
allowing infiltration. When those riots happened last year at Southport, if you look at the
02:09:00.980
Sunderland riot, where they burnt the police station, there's ten men wearing fully black.
02:09:06.060
That's the gut. I'm telling you, look up special demonstration squad. The government
02:09:10.260
have squads, police squads. We've seen it on January 6th in America, the FBI. They have
02:09:15.820
squads which infiltrate legitimate protests. If we look, and this may sound like a conspiracy
02:09:21.180
theory ten years ago. I watched it with the English Defence League. I know how they operate.
02:09:25.760
I watched what they've done. They provoke trouble. They have the media waiting to take pictures.
02:09:30.380
What did they just do last week in Epping? They bust in, the police brought in protesters
02:09:37.260
to provoke reaction, to then label the innocent families and scared families who want to protect
02:09:42.240
their daughters as far-right thugs. I know what they do. So we made it impossible in our meetings
02:09:47.400
with the police. I come back after being, I was censored. I was deleted. I was invisible
02:09:52.840
for five years. Elon Musk, 2023, gives me back my social media. I come back to the UK. I was
02:10:01.600
exiled, pretty much. I wasn't in a good place. I'd obviously made this film that I recently
02:10:07.140
went to jail for. I was too scared to release it. I didn't want to go to prison. I come
02:10:11.800
back to the UK and we start organising rallies. And our rallies, under this banner, Unite the
02:10:15.820
Kingdom, is about uniting Britain. And it's about uniting. Do you know what's sad, which
02:10:20.180
is a worrying situation, which we should be worried about, is as this progresses, as in
02:10:25.080
terrorism, attacks, rapes, there's a problem coming from a section of immigration into the
02:10:31.020
country. That's my view. And it's Islamic immigration. What's happening now is there's
02:10:36.480
a rise in ethno-nationalism. There's a rise in anti-immigrant sentiment. There's a rise in
02:10:43.920
these groups that are growing. And there's a rise in people who don't understand or are just
02:10:49.760
blaming everyone else. So our movement is saying, no, most migrants come to this country
02:10:55.040
and they love, embrace, my mother, one of them, they love, embrace and celebrate it. We want
02:10:59.800
to bring them people together under one banner. And we want to do it in a joyful manner and
02:11:02.960
a celebration-y manner where we focus on our identity as British people, not a white identity,
02:11:08.660
as British people. Everyone who wants to be part under that banner, come along. And we've
02:11:12.920
held three rallies. And the last one I've done was Trafalgar, July 27th, 100,000 people,
02:11:18.340
not one arrest. In each of these events, and do you know how our relationships change with
02:11:21.700
the police? It's insane, really. Any patriotic rally was met with violence with the police
02:11:27.700
up until 18 months ago, yeah? When I had my first sit-down with the police, and unfortunately,
02:11:33.020
again, I've learned you have to deal with the police and the government in a certain way.
02:11:38.700
When I sat down for my first meeting with the police, I said, I'm going to tell you what
02:11:41.300
we're going to do, yeah? We are... I could, if I wanted to, lads, bearing in mind these
02:11:47.200
Hamas rallies, if I want to, I can organise a protest on Tower Bridge in London on the
02:11:51.880
same day and same time as they do theirs. And we can have a confrontation with the Hamas
02:11:56.420
radicals, yeah? We don't want to, yeah? What we want is a family event in Parliament, outside
02:12:03.820
Parliament, with music, celebration. So let us do what we want. Stay the hell away. We will
02:12:09.260
police ourselves. We will not allow face coverings, not allow us alcohol. We will monitor our
02:12:13.440
own supporters. And if there's a problem with our supporters, tell us, and we'll deal with
02:12:16.540
them, yeah? Because you coming in, mob-handed, with crash helmets and right gear, just don't
02:12:20.760
wear right gear. Stay away. We'll work with you in any way. If Antifa and left-wing extremists
02:12:26.920
are here, we'll change our location and we'll start here. We just want to have a peaceful
02:12:31.740
day. And that worked with the police, and in the end, we're clapping the police. And to
02:12:36.860
any of the people organising demonstrations now at hotels, you have to liaise with the
02:12:39.760
police. Because if you don't liaise with the police, then you'll see conditions coming
02:12:43.500
in, where you can't go down this road, can't go down that road. And when those conditions
02:12:47.400
come in, you'll then get riot police blocking the roads. You'll then have a clash of people.
02:12:53.680
So I've learnt a lot. I know how these demonstrations work. I know how to liaise and negotiate with
02:12:58.860
the police. And even, you know, again, it's a sad state of affairs, but the English Defence
02:13:04.580
League, do you remember, they were opening a mosque in Lutonan down centre. And I went
02:13:09.080
down to the shopping centre, 2013. And I met with the owners of the shopping centre. And
02:13:15.500
just basically said, I'm going to tell you what happens here. I went to the bakery, which
02:13:19.660
was Robbie's family bakery. It's been there 40 years. I went to the Muslim restaurant next
02:13:23.200
door and spoke to the Turks. I said, what do you think about the mosque opening there?
02:13:26.800
And they said, we don't need a mosque here. That's what we don't need. And this is the Muslims.
02:13:30.400
They said, if you put a mosque there, it's going to be 100 men outside our shop. So I went
02:13:34.460
for all this. So I said to the shopping centre, if you open a mosque there, I'm going to shut
02:13:39.860
down the shopping centre. When the English Defence League come and demonstrate, it costs
02:13:43.300
£500,000 to £1 million to police. And you will board up your shopping centre. That's what's
02:13:47.700
going to happen. I'm just letting you know. We don't want to do this. You need to listen
02:13:50.920
to the shops here and what they want. It worked. They cancelled the mosque. By then, they
02:13:55.640
opened up toilets in Burnley, Burnley or one of the northern towns. And the toilets were
02:14:00.360
a hole in the ground in the shopping centre, like a Saudi toilet. I rang the shopping centre,
02:14:05.040
said, you've got two weeks. Changed the toilet. Now, this isn't good, but at the time, I knew
02:14:09.840
what worked. When 364 councils, I wrote a letter to you, you can Google this, and it
02:14:14.360
was Christmas. And six councils changed the name of Christmas. They took the word Christ
02:14:19.500
out of it, and they called it Winter Illuminations Winter Festival. So I sent 364 letters off personally
02:14:24.580
to the councils and said, I'm warning you, as the English Defence League, we're going
02:14:28.160
to hit your city if you change the name of Christmas. And it all went in the news that
02:14:32.960
we were blackmailing the councils. I said, well, I'm just warning them. We don't want
02:14:36.140
to come to your city, but we will. Now, they all listened. The next year, not one single
02:14:40.660
council took the word Christ out of it. And do you know what's upsetting? When I had meetings
02:14:45.560
with Muslims about this with the English Defence League, Muslims don't care if we celebrate
02:14:48.520
Christmas. This is some liberal joke in a council making a decision for community cohesion
02:14:54.220
which doesn't work for communication. You're actually causing resentment. So I learned
02:14:58.980
very quickly that, unfortunately, when you have a bit of power like the Islamic leaders
02:15:03.620
have, you can threaten things, and it gets done what you want.
02:15:07.400
But I think we've now reached a point, Tommy, where things are febrile, to put it mildly.
02:15:13.620
Febrile means it's like it's going to boil over.
02:15:17.100
It's a powder keg. It's where we are, unfortunately. You can admit it or you can't.
02:15:22.500
So do you think what we do, and for people who are concerned about this, is that people
02:15:28.500
need to have peaceful demonstrations. There need to be activists. There needs to be people
02:15:33.760
talking about this in a calm and respectful manner.
02:15:36.820
Totally. I think that, again, which is what we're planning on doing September 13th, I
02:15:42.640
think we're going to have half a million to a million people. I think it's going to be
02:15:46.040
the biggest patriot gathering this country's ever seen. And our diversity of our crowd
02:15:50.860
and the demographic of our support base has totally changed. It's mainstream. Whereas
02:15:55.980
they had us as a fringe element. They had us. And they had control of social media. Remember,
02:16:01.620
we were banned from every social media. So when they had control, they could tell everyone
02:16:04.700
who we are. Then now people can see our videos ourselves. They can see what our events are
02:16:08.280
like. They can see what the gatherings are like. I'm worried, and I think the government
02:16:13.060
should be worried, and the country should be worried, about the mood of the nation. Because
02:16:16.660
the mood of the nation is people aren't enough. People aren't going to be silenced anymore.
02:16:19.980
When people, when you take away the freedom of an English man or woman's children to walk
02:16:25.920
the street, which is what's happened in Epping, they can't walk down the street in their
02:16:28.980
school uniform. When you take that away, what do you expect is going to happen? And that's
02:16:33.600
mirrored across every town in the city in the minute. So if you ask the British public
02:16:36.680
how they're feeling on safety, they don't feel safe. And whilst you don't feel safe,
02:16:41.220
what Keir Starmer should have done after Southport is they should have come out as a government
02:16:45.180
and said, we're listening. We understand. We understand the anger. Let's try and work
02:16:50.380
together to stop this. But they didn't do that. They said, you're all racist. Shut up.
02:16:55.280
And what that's led to is where we're at now. Twelve months later, you put a load of people
02:16:59.120
in jail. You let criminals out. You locked up patriots. You murdered Peter Lynch. Lucy
02:17:03.020
Conley still... Some of them were. Some of them were racist and there were riots which
02:17:07.160
were unacceptable. Some of them were, but there were also Muslims
02:17:09.460
rioting along the street. Agreed. And none of that was on the mainstream media. Keir Starmer
02:17:13.100
didn't mention it. Keir Starmer said, we're going to protect you, the Muslim community.
02:17:16.780
It's like, well, no, no, hold on. It's our daughters who have been raped in every town
02:17:19.940
of the city. Why are you going to protect us? It's our daughters in every town of the city
02:17:23.520
who have been gang raped. Not Muslim girls. There's no, there's not one. Find me a case.
02:17:26.960
Anyone. Of a group of non-Muslims raping a Muslim. Find me one case. Because the fact
02:17:32.180
is there's hundreds of thousands across this country. And when you even try and talk about
02:17:35.940
or get angry about it, you just need to shut up. You're all far right or you're all racist.
02:17:39.220
Well, that doesn't wash anymore. That's not going to wash. People have had enough. People
02:17:42.540
are not in the main asylum. But what's happening now is it's organic, which is good. I said I
02:17:48.060
was going to go Eppin the other week, didn't I? Yeah. Wrong move for me. Yeah. Wrong move
02:17:52.180
for the people of Eppin. Because if I went there, it's all about me. And it gives
02:17:56.100
the government and the council and all the opposition the chance to diminish the local
02:18:01.440
community's fears and put them under, which is what they done after the riots. They put
02:18:05.380
them under the bracket of far right, bracket of Tommy Robinson. They blamed me for the
02:18:08.660
riots. They blamed me. I was called for peace, calm and non-violence. And they made out that
02:18:14.120
I was the instigator of riots across the country when I wasn't even here. But I think that most
02:18:19.220
people are sitting where we're sitting, as in something big is happening here. When I say
02:18:23.780
the country's prime for evolution, it is. The mood of this nation, I've just, you know,
02:18:28.180
down the end of the year, there's a petrol station with the Greggs. I had two people come up to me
02:18:33.060
in that Greggs who are talking about September 13th. The level of feeling this country and the
02:18:40.300
emotion and passion and fear that the public are having. When I see people, I remember I've gone
02:18:46.660
through this for 15 years. I've gone from being spat at to being punched to being hugged to being
02:18:50.320
embraced to have my hands shaken. And that process is now where the country's at, where they're going
02:18:56.360
to look, when the public realise the state of our nation, the safety of their children, the absolute
02:19:02.940
destruction of our culture, our identity and our future, when they realise they're going to look
02:19:09.280
at who's to blame. And they're going to look to the politicians and they're going to look to the
02:19:12.780
journalists. They're going to look at who lied and they're going to look at who told the truth.
02:19:16.100
And that's why even, I'm talking about Katie Hopkins. Katie Hopkins had to flee Britain four
02:19:20.760
years ago. Yeah. She was hated. She now comes back. I walk the streets with her. She gets a hero's
02:19:26.260
reception because people see that some people, and it doesn't mean anyone's perfect. Same with me.
02:19:31.420
It means I made mistakes. People accept my flaws. Yeah. But we told the truth. We stood on principle
02:19:37.500
and continued regardless of their threats, their intimidation, their silence. And I don't blame
02:19:42.020
people who are sitting out there who are scared to talk. You should be scared to talk because we
02:19:46.240
don't have free speech. We don't live in, how many people do you hear say we live in a free country?
02:19:49.340
No one anymore. Everyone knows we don't. They're locking you up. I haven't heard that phrase for
02:19:54.440
years. No. No, no. See, I remember when I came to this country, I was a boy, right? That's what I
02:19:59.620
thought. That's what I thought Britain was. That's what I thought the West was. And people would use
02:20:04.440
that phrase. And in fact, I remember kids would tease me for being Russian, right? And I'd be like,
02:20:09.800
shut up. And they'd be like, it's a free country. No one says it anymore. No one.
02:20:14.080
No, not just anyone say it. You see what you just said. I, up until 2009, when I started my
02:20:18.420
activism, I thought I lived in a country with free speech. And then I realized, well, this country
02:20:23.640
doesn't exist. And I'll give you an example. You know, I was just arrested for this GBH section
02:20:28.340
18 to do with the gentleman. When I was arrested, I was detained and questioned and arrested for
02:20:34.480
three tweets. One of the tweets I was arrested for was sharing a Daily Mail article.
02:20:39.240
Yeah. Now, what they said is, they said, are you, they're basically trying to say, have
02:20:43.820
you got qualifications as mainstream journalism? So I said, no. And then, so my solicitor said,
02:20:48.960
well, all he's done is share what the Daily Mail said. And then they said, the Daily Mail
02:20:52.300
are protected because recognized media are protected by this law. You're not. So I was like, well,
02:20:59.400
I've shared something that's factual from the Daily Mail, but you're going to arrest me for
02:21:03.420
it. And they arrested me for that. And also, and also sharing a Palestinian flag that said,
02:21:08.280
fuck Hamas, fuck Palestine, fuck Islam. And I shared it and just said this. I've been arrested
02:21:13.560
for that. We don't live in a free country. Now, I wouldn't mind, but they weren't arresting
02:21:17.360
people who were calling for jihad. This two-tier level of policing, they're not arresting. It's
02:21:22.140
like hate speech laws are not there to prevent hate. They're there to shut us up. And one level
02:21:27.700
has been shut up and the other level get amplified opportunity to promote their hate and intolerance.
02:21:32.360
If we had, if they want to implement real hate speech laws, this would be banned. The
02:21:37.120
Quran will be banned tomorrow because there's a hundred verses in there that call for violence.
02:21:40.060
Lots of books will be banned. You can buy Mein Kampf.
02:21:42.920
But that's banned. Okay. You can buy Mein Kampf.
02:21:44.600
I thought you were going to pull it out there, Tommy.
02:21:46.440
You can buy Mein Kampf, but these free books are banned by Amazon, yeah? This is just my life
02:21:51.360
story. This is a, this is, this is not my opinion. This is the Quran. And what this Quran does,
02:21:56.040
do you know the term Islam is the religion of peace?
02:21:58.160
I have heard that. Yes. But no one had ever said it until George W. Bush. We sat for months
02:22:04.640
trying to find historically figures, military, religious, political, that ever said Islam
02:22:11.960
was the religion of peace. And all you'll find is Islamic leaders saying, no, it's a war manual.
02:22:15.740
It's warrior manual, yeah? So that lie, which was told by George W. Bush, is now just repeated
02:22:21.140
as some sort of fact. But these books were banned by Amazon. As you just said, you can buy Hitler's
02:22:26.100
book. So how can you ban? There's nothing hatred in these. But you're literally burning
02:22:30.420
books now. And you're burning books that challenge your, your failures again. And what is, what
02:22:34.900
is the demographical change to this nation? And what does it look like? So as anyone watching
02:22:39.240
this, okay, five, six percent in the country are from the Islamic background. Look at the
02:22:44.160
mayhem from five, six percent. What do you actually think it's going to be like at 20 percent?
02:22:50.260
This isn't fear mongering. We've got a duty as English men and women to protect this country
02:22:54.400
and to protect our kids. And everyone's seen what's happened since October 7th. It's
02:22:58.440
accelerated. Well, what are we going to do? Because unfortunately, a lot of the groups
02:23:01.540
that were for harmony are actually calling for the obliteration of an entire state of
02:23:05.800
people. And people have seen it now. There's no smokescreens. People can see the hate. And
02:23:11.640
it's not a minority. It's mainstreamed. And unfortunately, that mainstream hate is coming
02:23:16.280
from the left and the liberal left, along with an Islamist alliance, which we've seen this
02:23:21.400
alliance before. We've seen it in Iran. We've seen where the communists and the Marxists
02:23:25.680
joined along with the Islamists to overthrow and topple the country. And the first thing
02:23:30.100
that the Islamists done is kill them. So we've seen it. And I just think that, you know, as
02:23:35.080
a generation of British men, are we really scared to talk about this shit? Are we actually
02:23:40.260
going to remain silent and look at our country and see that there's a thousand years of Christian
02:23:45.360
history in this country, over 1800 years Christianity has been in Britain, but a thousand years
02:23:49.460
of England? We're going to let, in 70 years, spineless, corrupt, globalist politicians import
02:23:56.440
medieval backward cultures into this country and allow them to grow dominant and superior
02:24:01.060
to us? That's what we're seeing. Luton is a blueprint for every town and city. You can
02:24:05.720
ignore it because you think it's Luton, but it's your town tomorrow. And the demographical
02:24:10.000
change and the growth in this nation shows that. So yes, you made the comment earlier about
02:24:14.280
your taxi driver, who's probably a lovely man. I bet a lot of Germans were lovely during
02:24:19.180
the war. I bet loads of them were lovely. It doesn't stop the dangers of Nazism. What
02:24:24.180
we see with Islam, yeah, not Muslims. Again, people don't understand. So if I, if I criticize
02:24:29.780
the Bible or Jesus, it doesn't mean I hate Christians, does it? It doesn't mean I hate
02:24:34.080
every person that follows it. So separate the two. Muslims are people. If you speak hatred
02:24:39.260
against Muslims, it's bad. You entice or encourage violence against Muslims, totally wrong. Your
02:24:45.020
God-given right is to look at this book as an Englishman and say, what is, what does this
02:24:49.160
bring? It's a book. It's my right to look at Mohammed's life and say, having sex with
02:24:53.460
children is pretty wrong though, yeah? You're not really a moral compass that we should be
02:24:57.960
following. In fact, we shouldn't just be following you. Do you know my local politician,
02:25:00.940
Gavin Suka, he was a Labour politician and at the height of the English Defence League,
02:25:05.360
I'd never met him and there was a chicken shop in Luton and he was in there. So I walked in and
02:25:08.940
said, all right, all right, Gavin, yeah? You held a Celebrate Mohammed Day at Parliament.
02:25:14.020
He said, yeah. I said, what do you know about Mohammed? What do you actually know about him?
02:25:18.100
He goes, well, no, Muslims respect him. I said, okay, well, Nazis respect Hitler.
02:25:23.200
I said, celebrate Hitler, shall we? What do you know about him? And he's just looked gobsmacked.
02:25:28.240
You don't know anything, do you? You don't know anything about him. Yet here you are pandering.
02:25:34.220
It's like Jess Phillips basically sitting on her knees in a mosque. It's mental.
02:25:37.800
The level of absurdity, appeasement, cowardice from those politicians. We've got 650 politicians
02:25:45.320
in Parliament and not one of them's ever spoke about Islam. Since Churchill and Gladstone,
02:25:49.880
no one in that House of Parliament, bearing in mind the jihad attacks, think about Manchester,
02:25:54.100
think about 7-7, think about Lee Rigby. We've had all these attacks.
02:25:57.620
But it's worse than that, man. It's worse than that. One of their colleagues was killed by an
02:26:02.600
Islamist, Sir David Ames. Do you remember this?
02:26:04.220
Yeah, but the public probably don't even know who he is.
02:26:06.940
Because all the MPs stood up. Do you remember what they talked about in the House of Commons?
02:26:14.220
We got a crackdown on online. Their colleague has just been murdered by an Islamist.
02:26:20.160
Right. Murdered by an Islamist in a surgery, in a constituency surgery,
02:26:25.700
i.e. the thing that they all go and do once a week.
02:26:33.800
His daughter is still trying to fight against a system that, do you know why they can't
02:26:39.020
I can tell you why, because I've speak to them.
02:26:42.580
They're all terrified. And by the way, like you said, they're not wrong.
02:26:48.240
The problem is they're terrified, but we're not anymore.
02:27:01.740
And it doesn't work because once there's a reality that the country is at stake,
02:27:06.160
that the entire Christian nation, that the entire population and culture and identity
02:27:10.380
and children's future is at stake, we don't care about you putting us in jail.
02:27:15.060
Because, and I try, these are an argument I had with my ex-wife so many times.
02:27:26.620
But what I mean is, she's like, just shut up to make sure our kids have a stake.
02:27:29.700
I said, okay, but what about when they have kids?
02:27:33.540
I know what it's like to be a minority in Islam.
02:27:45.500
And the thing to remember about this is that, you know, we say these names, but these victims
02:27:58.380
Yeah, he was a fantastic MP and he was a wonderful constituency MP.
02:28:06.000
I met him two or three times, but he was a lovely man, had lunch with him.
02:28:09.140
And then I just saw people, just his colleagues.
02:28:16.760
And I'm just going, this is cowardice of the worst sort, of the worst sort.
02:28:21.540
An innocent man dies who is your friend and colleague and you do nothing.
02:28:28.840
I was, I've never actually spoken about this, but it made me feel physically sick.
02:28:35.280
And it actually changed a lot of my opinions because I saw firsthand the cowardice because
02:28:40.820
it's very different when you've never met, you know, you say names and there's a part
02:28:47.520
You can empathize, but you can't sympathize because you're not there.
02:28:50.640
But when he was murdered and bear in mind, this was just someone I used to sit with and
02:28:55.580
have the occasional lunch with two or three times.
02:28:57.580
And we used to talk about West Ham and he'd tell me about the glory days of, you know,
02:29:01.100
the 1970s of West Ham and, you know, Billy Bonds and all this.
02:29:04.960
And then I saw like the way they just didn't even talk about him.
02:29:14.500
So these attacks, these rapes, and I'll explain, there's a Tom Costello.
02:29:19.200
He went to a private school, got the best grades at Oxford University.
02:29:23.720
And he'd come and spend, I said, come and spend time with me in Luton.
02:29:26.340
We're at the local estate and we're at the pub.
02:29:28.340
And when you walk anywhere out here, everyone knows each other.
02:29:32.140
And when we sat down, he goes, I haven't got this.
02:29:35.320
He goes, the community, you all know each other.
02:29:44.100
I said, so you see what you've just seen there, Tom?
02:29:46.180
He said, yeah, I said, so say when Sarah is raped by migrants,
02:29:51.720
do you understand how all of us are feeling it?
02:29:53.900
Do you get how we're all fucking raging about this?
02:29:57.820
So that sense of feeling when we talk about the moral cowardice,
02:30:05.000
Are we going to pretend that he didn't know about grooming gangs?
02:30:07.540
Are we going to pretend the head of Daily Mirror,
02:30:11.040
we know Andrew Norfolk knew because he says he knew.
02:30:42.060
Certainly, Piers Morgan, the head of a media outlet, knew.
02:30:44.160
I understand how some people in different backgrounds
02:30:45.720
and living in different towns and cities or villages
02:31:26.500
but I'm not really up for backing down to them.
