He is at it again
0:03
Put a sock in it.
0:04
We thought that maybe they were trying to get back into the royal fold, and then he's gone and done this.
0:08
What did he say? Something like, "Some people don't want reconciliation." Who are some people? I think he's done a lot of damage.
0:13
I think the problem is he's just not trustworthy.
0:15
The damage is too far along.
0:17
H- having them back in the royal fold is just impossible, JJ.

13 MINS LATER

13:10
[laughs]
43:39
Alex, far be it from me to take the side of Harry, but on this issue, I've got a bit of sympathy for him.
43:47
No, I actually do entirely agree with you.
43:50
These are quite serious allegations that are being made here by Prince Harry.
43:53
And of course, if there was a threat to him by terrorist groups, he has a right to know about that.
43:58
I think any private citizen, even though he was at the time, does have a right to know about that, particularly someone of such high stature as Prince Harry.
44:07
However, it does feel to me, James, that this is a ploy to drag up again the security situation of him and his family here in Britain.
44:18
It's very well timed that this story is coming out.
46:13
Why so many people being rejected from the military?
46:05
Alex, aren't these pamphlets an admission by the government that there's a major problem in the UK?
46:12
Oh, absolutely.
46:13
I think the fact that they've been so widely mocked, as you just showed so gloriously on your programme here, James, just proves British people have looked at this and gone, what on earth are you lot thinking? What are you doing about this rape crisis in Britain? I was just reporting on three separate occasions last night, James, of illegal migrant rapes in Britain in the last week, and those are cases that have closed.
46:38
So the best our government can do is come up with some pamphlets.
46:41
Well, the reality is, James, is that most of these people coming here, we have to teach them English because they can't read or even speak our language.
46:49
So I don't know what good they're going to do.
46:50
I doubt they've been translated because no one's thought that far ahead, have they? The hilarious thing about all of this is that the Home Office, when they first put this all out and it was announced to the public, thought this was going to be met with some sort of hurrah.
48:10
Does it tell people that the government really doesn't care?
45:20
Alex, what is going on here? Is this smart politics from Burnham, or, uh, is there something else happening?
45:27
Well, to be honest with you, James, I think this is the problem with British politics now.
45:31
We've gone from the robot overlord of Keir Starmer, who had zero personality, to a TikTok prime minister who thinks by indulging in all of his weird personality traits that all of a sudden the British public are going to love him.
45:46
And frankly, it seems to be paying off, sadly.
45:48
I think that's the state we're in.
45:50
People look at this guy and go, "Oh, he's relatable.
45:52
Look, he holds up a piece of bread and talks about how everyone calls it, uh, something different up and down our country." It's really quite sad.
47:59
We want you to apply anyway"?
38:21
How does this make any sense?
38:23
None of it makes sense.
38:25
None of it makes sense.
38:26
Everyone's in uproar about this for so many reasons.
38:29
First of all, I just wanna cast everyone's minds back a couple of years ago when we had the Southport riots as a result of a heinous crime committed here in Britain, and there were people locked up for what the j- j- judicial say here in Britain is incitement to violence.
38:45
That is people saying we should burn down hotels with, full of asylum seekers and stuff.
38:50
Stuff we've all condemned, right? We've all condemned that stuff.
42:05
And I just wonder, Alex, why? W- how did we get here?
2:24
and labor don't want to do an inquiry banana flip-flopping what's the latest on that
2:29
This is disgusting.
2:31
The Labour Party, this government, has shamed itself beyond belief on this topic.
2:39
It infuriates me what's happened.
2:44
These politicians who have stood on a moral high ground for 14 years, saying we're going to safeguard women and children, we're going to undo the wrongs committed in this country, have called, Keir Starmer has called for 10 national inquiries in this country.
3:01
10.
3:02
10.
3:26
party.
44:38
Talk to me about these headlines and the implications.
44:42
Yeah, and I'll give you a little bit more information on that mega dinghy.
44:45
But first of all, it's important to note that new Prime Minister Andy Burnham hasn't said a word about immigration whatsoever, despite it being polled the most important issue to British people for months on end now.
44:58
But that mega dinghy, 165 people came over on one boat.
45:02
That's how big this boat was.
45:04
But it also turns out, James, the news that broke this morning, that there is now an active police investigation because it It might transpire that one of those men on that dinghy had stabbed another migrant or an individual on the beaches of France and then got on that dinghy over to Britain.
45:21
But it also plays into that other story we're talking about there, James, which is the fact that we don't know who's coming into our country.
46:15
Alex, am I the only one who found giving a woman covered head to toe in a burqa a British Citizen Award for empowering women a little odd?
23:09
And, well, I'm not surprised.
23:13
No, neither am I, James.
23:14
Good evening to everybody there in Australia as well.
23:16
I mean, look, I can't talk too much about this case because of British court of contempt laws, contempt of court laws, should I say.
23:24
However, I think it speaks for itself, doesn't it? I think you've only got to see that footage to make the conclusion that I think 99.9% of people will make, which is that there has been some form of injustice done here.
23:39
The handling of Police, when it comes to cases of what they would dub as black on white or white on brown people in Britain, has become extremely contentious.
23:50
Of course, all I have to do is cast your minds back to what a month ago we talk about the Henry Novak case where two tier policing is clearly alive and well.
24:59
Just for our audience, can you just summarise what is that advice to police?
6:21
Mm-hmm.
6:21
And that's the, that's the reality.
6:23
Welfare spending is out of control in this country.
6:26
Uh, th- there's a billion issues that ov- that people wanna talk about, and they're all centralized in Westminster.
6:32
And, and yes, great to, to devolve things to, to mayors, and many people will argue it's been terrible in some places.
6:38
I don't think it's a bad idea because you get more accountability the more local you are.
7:01
Mm-hmm.
7:01
And that is terrifying for a country that is in such deep trouble, deep tr- deep, deep trouble.
0:46
He must have been... that is wit's end because nobody listening yeah years and years and years and finally i mean there's been a big change the last year or so i think well that's two or three years where people look normal people who are not racists have gone oh gosh this guy although there are a lot of people who haven't even heard any of this they don't go on twitter yeah they still know of tommy robinson's evil thing of course you know you bring him up
1:05
that would be the vast majority of people actually andrew in my opinion it really would because i i still believe that that the Most of Britain, unlike what's going on in America, Americans are much more tightly aligned with social media now, but Britain still is relatively asleep to alternative thought.
1:22
And listen, I don't want to sit here, I'm not trying to say Tommy Robinson has done everything good in his life.
1:27
Sometimes I've read some of Tommy's stuff and I'm like, well, actually, you weren't an angel.
1:31
You did do things that were bad.
1:33
I would actually rather look at someone like Douglas Murray, who was calling this problem out a long time ago.
1:36
20 years ago, I believe, he was starting to talk about this problem in a very sophisticated way, in a way, but perhaps he had to dance around some issues at the time because it wasn't politically acceptable.
2:41
How do we make them wake up? Or are they waking up a little bit? Because you are seeing reform rise in the polls today.
5:39
What's the process over the next number of weeks or even months?
5:43
Yeah, unfortunately for British people, he is going to be sticking around for just a few more months, even though we've been saying he's going to go for a long time.
5:50
But he has, of course, officially announced a timetable to leave office.
5:54
Now, the reason why there's a timetable is because Andy Burnham, the man who is most likely going to be crowned his successor, I don't think there's going to be a Labour leadership contest at this point.
6:04
Well, he's not even an MP yet.
6:06
In fact, he's not going to be an MP for another hour and a half until he's officially sworn in.
6:10
And at that point, Andy Burnham will then need to form alliances, which we are seeing happening this afternoon.
8:48
So, yes, we know that Labor is in big trouble and Sir Keir has been a major part of that, but does the agenda of the Labor Party change, does the polling change, simply because you have changed the man?
22:21
Is this a coup?
22:23
It is a coup.
22:24
Yes, it's exactly what it is, James.
22:26
He's been elected by 0.03% of the British population.
22:30
Let that sink in for a second.
22:32
And it looks like he's going to be coronated as prime minister by the Labour Party in the next week.
22:38
There is severe pressure.
23:53
give over number 10 to the newcomer?
7:31
[laughs]
7:31
Um, you need to compete a little bit.
7:33
[laughs] But yeah, so these shops shouldn't exist, right? We all, we all know there's an illegal trade going on.
7:38
I think the government even acknowledged that.
7:40
Um, and I think that when you see that, that could have been a shop, and then that pushes the rents up for those shops, then you can't...
7:45
If you are just a, a local business who wants to open a shop, you're pushed out the market.
7:49
And so all these things are contributing.

29 MINS LATER

36:52
Mm-hmm.
3:02
It's insane, isn't it?
3:03
They are...
3:04
And, and when the justice secretary wrote to them to say, "Actually, this is nuts.
3:10
Stop doing it," a Labour justice secretary, Shabana Mahmood, they just put the middle fin- finger up to her.
3:15
They flipped her the bird and went, "Nah, we're all right.
3:18
We're gonna carry on doing what we wanna do." [laughs] How mad? How mad? When I was telling a bunch of students this from, from a different country the other week, and their mouths were just dropped on the floor.
3:28
They said, "Wait, you...
5:52
It might even be more than that.
21:32
is
21:32
exactly it, James.
21:34
You nailed it on the head.
21:35
It's what we call here in Britain, two-tier justice, two-tier policing, two-tier politics.
21:41
People are sick of it.
21:42
They are absolutely sick of it.
21:44
And this case, as you correctly said, when it first came out, the police made an unprecedented intervention.
24:15
What is going on here and how have authorities reacted?
1:59
Yeah.
1:59
But the, the left used to be anti-establishment.
2:01
That's the right now.
2:02
So what are the right and the left? There's this, this complete polar shift, and Trump is neither of those things mas- in, in my, my opinion.
2:09
He's, he's somebody that is a little bit left, a little bit right.
2:13
He's nationalist, but he's also a bit isolationist.
2:16
Um, he's anti-globalist, which should be a leftist thing, which isn't a leftist thing.
3:51
Mm.
1:26
Mm.
1:27
Like, because she didn't have any stereotype about her whatsoever, and of course, I'm, I'm looking for a homeless person.
1:32
I'm not looking for anything that is Louise Glover.
1:35
Um, and her story really hit a chord with me, and, um, I wanted to bring her back on to the show, so I brought her back on.
1:43
Um, I said, "Tell us about your experience being home- uh, being homeless.
1:46
How did this happen to you?" Uh, obviously there is, you know, for one Louise Glover, there's hundreds of thousands more people who are homeless now, tens of thousands, should I say, at least, and it's a growing prob- problem.
1:55
We've got, uh, ex-Marines, ex-British troops on our streets.
4:01
That is who we should feel for.
22:31
Tell me about the attack and how the murderer played the race card to make himself look like the victim.
22:38
Yeah, this story's really captured the British public the last week, James.
22:41
It is an absolute disgrace on our country, and yet tragically another person has had to die because of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
22:51
This is what happens when the far left infiltrate your police force and your institutions of government for decades.
22:59
They have told police and instructed them through far-left ideology that clearly racism is a greater crime than somebody dying on the floor next to you, screaming that they can't breathe while they drown in their own blood.
23:13
That is what has happened here, and it has sparked so many people to say, by the way, this is Britain's George Floyd moment.
23:20
Well, I reject that because George Floyd was a criminal.
25:15
Will there be any investigation into the police officers and their handling of this matter?
0:00
I don't think British people understand how severe the radical Islamist prison population has become in our country, the capacity of them in our prisons, and how overcrowded they are.
0:11
The biggest worry I have is at some point in time, a lot of those people will be out on the streets.
0:17
And what's happening the entire time they're in prison is they're becoming more radicalized.
0:22
How can you become de-radicalized when you are isolated with a group of people who strongly share your beliefs? It's going to reinforce them.
0:30
It's going to make them feel like martyrs.
0:32
And there's plenty of them in there that will never get out that will radicalize the ones who might.
1:11
What do you do? This is the biggest
1:12
problem.
0:49
They're as selfish as anyone else, more so.
0:51
Yeah, and that is a very damning thing on them and their inability to reflect.
0:58
You know, I have gone on a political transformation throughout my entire life and I don't attach myself to any party until I really know what they stand for.
1:04
And even if they've stood for it for a very long time, they can change.
1:07
Right? So anyone who's, you know, ideologically, I am this party, I'm going to always be that party.
1:13
Well, you're not a very good public citizen, in my opinion.
1:17
You should be willing to change.
2:23
You think, how can the guy who wrote The Thick of It be on board with this? It's crazy, isn't it? Gender cutting genitals off.
1:03
Ah, okay
1:03
... how this happened [laughs] 'cause...
1:05
So, uh, but, but I think the, the, there's, there's some, there's some multicultural issue, issues we can talk about within it.
1:10
Um, the reality is, is that Britain is crumbling.
1:15
It's crumbling.
1:16
And the things that have shocked at least the audience that on, on my shows the most are the politicians represented in that area.
1:25
Tahir Ali MP is a per- is a perfect example of this.
2:17
Mm.
0:00
What I think is fascinating about Tommy Robinson is, and I genuinely believe this, that he is a product of the British state.
0:07
Tommy Robinson wouldn't exist, even his name, Tommy Robinson, wouldn't exist had the British system not created him.
0:15
Now, I was reading his book and read many reviews of his book as well just to get different perspectives on it.
0:21
And it's really fascinating because he writes everything in like a linear way of his life.
0:26
And what you really take away from Robbie is...
0:30
Tommy, sorry.
4:38
But isn't it a horrible irony? The very thing he's been warning us about for 20, 30 years, he's now in prison and has to be in solitary because there are so many Muslims in prison.
4:49
It's mad.
0:07
Yeah, with
0:07
the PDF file in the rocket.
0:08
And it's like...
0:10
It's mad, really, because that's meant to be comedy.
0:13
That's meant to be, this is so ludicrous, we would put it on a comedy show about crazy things happening that will never happen.
0:20
Brass Eye's becoming a bit like a documentary of Britain in the last hundred years.
0:26
It's just rapidly, we're on rapid, rapid decline and we've got to stop it.
0:51
You think, how can the guy who wrote The Thick of It be on board with this? It's crazy, isn't it? Gender cutting genitals off.
0:46
He must have been... that is wit's end because nobody listening yeah years and years and years and finally i mean there's been a big change the last year or so i think well that's two or three years where people normal people who are not racists have gone oh gosh this guy although there are a lot of people who haven't even heard any of this they don't go on twitter yeah they still know of tommy robinson's evil thing of course you know you bring him up
1:06
that would be the vast majority of people actually andrew in my opinion it really would because i i still believe that that the Most of Britain, unlike what's going on in America, Americans are much more tightly aligned with social media now, but Britain still is relatively asleep to alternative thought.
1:22
And listen, I don't want to sit here, I'm not trying to say Tommy Robinson has done everything good in his life.
1:27
know sometimes i've read some of tommy's stuff i'm like well actually you weren't an angel you did do things that were bad i would actually rather look at someone like douglas murray who was calling this problem out a long time ago uh 20 years ago i believe he was starting to talk about this problem in a very sophisticated way in a way but perhaps he had to dance around some issues at the time because it wasn't politically acceptable um but douglas and people like that have done a very good job of warning us and were also ignored highly intelligent man
2:41
How do we make them wake up? Or are they waking up a little bit? Because you are seeing reform rise in the polls today.
2:46
Yeah, there is a slow movement and it's going to be a generational thing.
2:54
Politically, this country is still decided by the pensioner group of people, basically.
3:00
Pensioners pretty much swing elections for us here.
