My friend.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And the person that murdered Sir David Amess.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I know exactly what I think should happen to those people.
speaker_19SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I wouldn't put them in prison.
Julia Hartley-BrewerHOST
That's a case of judicacy, but the attempted firebombing of Nigel Farage's home that has been linked with that case as well.
Julia Hartley-BrewerHOST
We've had the murder of Joe Cox and David Amess, politicians on different sides of the political divide, by people who disagreed with their views.
Julia Hartley-BrewerHOST
And again, numerous attempts by Islamist terrorists to kill people.
Julia Hartley-BrewerHOST
politicians and make threats to them.
Andrew DoyleGUEST
Parliamentarians were using that as an excuse to push through greater censorship laws, not addressing the problem of radical Islamism, by the way, which was, of course, the problem there.
Andrew DoyleGUEST
Similarly, in the UK, when Sir David Amess was murdered, that was a politician... was murdered in his surgery, you know, where he's, um, uh, taking questions from his constituents and a crazed Islamist stabbed him to death.
Andrew DoyleGUEST
And very soon after, uh, you had MPs in parliament saying, but this means we need to crack down on the internet on mean comments online had nothing to do with this case.
Andrew DoyleGUEST
It was, that's just an excuse.
Mark PackHOST
No, let me confess, of course.
Mark PackHOST
I have rewatched the 1992 election night several times, but actually after Da- David Amess was murdered, I did rewatch that clip 'cause it, it felt like, you know, that, that...
Mark PackHOST
there was a... that was the moment of his sort of probably highest profile where he sort of epitomized the whole political moment, and actually it reflected in some ways I thought really well on him, 'cause he was clearly overjoyed at winning, but happy about it.
Mark PackHOST
It was happy rather than angry or, you know, doing down.
Rosie DuffieldGUEST
And these are the people that have done everything in their power to make sure that we're called Nazis online and that, you know, even the women in the Equality Select Committee that I sit on have decided to end their account with X because it's too toxic.
Rosie DuffieldGUEST
But it's perfectly okay to go on Blue Sky, where within an hour of setting up an account, I have pictures of David Amess with "You're next" on.
Rosie DuffieldGUEST
[laughing] That's okay because it's only me, and we're the lowest of the low.
Rosie DuffieldGUEST
So make no mistake, the be kind people hate us more than they hate other political parties, the far right, the far left.
Douglas MurraySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
A teacher at Batley Grammar School here hounded into hiding by Muslim mobs baying for his death for showing a cartoon.
Douglas MurraySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Charlie Hebdo, three gay friends in Wedding, David Amess MP, Streatham, London Bridge, Westminster Bridge, Parsons Green, Manchester Victoria Station, journalists, gay men, Jews, MPs, commuters, police, ordinary citizens.
Douglas MurraySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The list goes on and on.
Douglas MurraySOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Dishonest people will tell you that this is not Islam, but extremism.
Andy HughesHOST
Um, that was a counter-terrorism investigation, and that involved National Action, who are now banned.
Andy HughesHOST
Sir David Amess was next, the Conservative MP for Southend West.
Andy HughesHOST
He was stabbed to death at his weekly surgery in October 2021.
Andy HughesHOST
He'd been an MP for nearly 40 years, and his killer was inspired by Islamic State.
11 MINS LATER
Andy HughesHOST
Yeah
Neil BasuHOST
... of pounds.
Neil BasuHOST
In the era that I was doing it, so when I retired in 2021, I, I can only imagine that was just before, um, I stood down from this job just before the murder of David Amess, and I-
Andy HughesHOST
Mm
Banseka KayembeGUEST
Um, and so this whinging and whining, it's, it's putting people off, I suspect.
Michael WalkerHOST
suspect.And I mean, we, we, we should say again, 'cause I do, I do think it is worth sort of like reminding people that politicians who are fearful for their safety, I think is perfectly reasonable, right? In, you know, the past 11 years, there've been two MPs who've, who've been killed, Jo Cox and David Amess.
Michael WalkerHOST
And then obviously, you know, just in the past few weeks, um, a Reform politician, Ad Whitacre, um, was killed.
Michael WalkerHOST
Now, we don't know the motives, um, because it's still a live case, but those will become apparent, and I can see why any politician would genuinely be worried, um, for their safety.
Ariel WhitmanHOST
Yeah.
Connor TomlinsonGUEST
Um, his mo- one of his most alarming statements was in 2016, um, before he was running for Manchester mayor, uh, when he wanted to become Manchester mayor, he shared a stage with a, a group of, uh, doctrinaire Muslims and suggested that the Prevent counter-extremism strategy, which itself has basically stopped monitoring Islamic terror and has allowed a bunch to slip through the net, like the killer of Sir David Amess or, uh, Axel Rudakubana, um, or even the, the guy who recently went on the stabbing spree in Golders Green, because they stopped monitoring it.
Connor TomlinsonGUEST
Um, they stopped monitoring under duress, under pressure from Islamic activist groups and the Labour Party.
Connor TomlinsonGUEST
And in 2016, Andy Burnham shared a stage with said, uh, Islamic activists and said that the Prevent duty was basically like internment in Northern Ireland, which says that we just shouldn't be monitoring Islamic terror whatsoever.
