Starting point is 00:00:00 No spend, no bias, no censorship. I'm Dan Wooden this is outspoken episode number 575. And breaking today, it's notting hell as London's annual carnival turns into total carnage, with the scene looking like a war zone after a record number of arrests, a slashing, a stabbing, sexual offences are plenty, and even a death. Defying London Mayor Sadiq Khan's promise of a celebration of... diversity. And it was very clear. Women were not safe and sensible voices
Starting point is 00:00:54 in the black community have quite rightly had enough. Oh my God, guys, I'm just in Notting Hill Carnival. I'm not going to lie. Literally. Trying to hit that.
Starting point is 00:01:04 What are you saying? I'm good. I'm about here. I was just going to say, everyone hears me. She might quite, they're so romantic. As a black person,
Starting point is 00:01:16 I'm embarrassed. and ashamed of Notting Hill Carnival. Notting Hill Carnival does not represent black culture. It's an embarrassment to black culture. Yet it was all fun and games for Sidde Khan and the Metropolitan Police. Look at what nobeds here. Mayor Cunt. Also breaking today, Slippery Stama quits Parliament.
Starting point is 00:01:53 His globalist work in destroying Britain done as Nigel Farage is sworn back in as the MP for Clacton. and Annie Burnham finally faces Parliament. I swear by a mighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs, successors, according to law. So help me God. As he stands down from this place, I want to pay tribute to the right honourable member for Holborn and St. Pancras. In the end, the Prime Minister will be judged on what he actually delivers. This is a very different job to be made.
Starting point is 00:02:31 of Manchester, where he did not have to pick winners and losers, and he did not have to make difficult trade-offs. But the joke at Westminster is currently on the wokeest of woke BBC presenters, who managed to mix up two black conservative big political beasts. There they are, James Cleverly, and Quasi Quatang, without being cancelled. Now, we wouldn't have got away with that, would we? Leo curse. You would have been cancelled for that? Leo is with me.
Starting point is 00:02:59 100% for the entire. show today. We would have been finished forever. Also coming up on the show today, a man found guilty for blackmail over a sick bid to cancel Katie Hopkins. But the MSM disgracefully ignoring the story as she hits out at G.B. News and left us cancel Sasha Baron Cohen's comeback as Ali G before they've even seen the new movie, Will Woke beat Hollywood into submission yet again. Then in the Royal Line canceled after show over on subset, Megan Markle, claimed she is too scared for the school run as she breaches her own security and a desperate own goal. But if the PR spin is to be believed, Prince Harry is making her lift out her worst nightmare.
Starting point is 00:03:40 Some type of twisted punishment ritual will have all the royal latest with Richard Fitzwilliams over on substack after the main show. Plus a new Greatest Britain and Union Jackass revealed at the end of the show. Leo has nominated Yernet and Yahoo for saying the Falklands belong to Argentina and slippery Stama for the hypocrisy of jetting off overseas for a new job after. criticizing Rishi Sunak for doing exactly the same thing. I have nominated that Uber wokes to David Yellen for mistaking cleverly and Quartang. I want to hear your comments throughout the show. Keep your superchats coming in. We will read out at the best of the end of the show today. But now, let's go. Imagine looking outside the window of your lovely Notting Hill home this weekend
Starting point is 00:04:27 and seeing this as you lectured by Sadiq Khan about a great celebration of the disunited King Kingdoms diversity. So London's Carnival must forever now be referred to as not in hell carnage. Because it looked like a war zone in West London, after a record number of arrests, a slashing, a stabbing, numerous sexual offences, and even a death. That's before you get to the epic clean-up job, which is required today. Although knowing the state of Kans Islamist London, it will probably just be left to look this way forever more.
Starting point is 00:06:14 And once again, the right is completely split on calling a spade a spade. So you've got the likes of Connor Tomlinson of Tomlinson talks to Mundy. You could tell me this was a scene from the next Batman film and I would believe you. Notting Hill Carnival brings nothing of value and causes whole streets to be boarded up or else be used as toilets or gladiatorial arenas by urban youths. Ban it immediately. But the LBC presenter James Hansen responded with true suicidal empathy this way. Much of the online commentary around Notting Hill Carnival is just downright racist.
Starting point is 00:06:43 I've long thought the event has outgrown the narrow streets of West London would be better suited in Hyde Park or somewhere similar, but there's a certain type of far-right commentator who objects simply to the side of Black Brits enjoying themselves. It should be called out for what it is. Well, I would say for all those like Mr Hanson, who are trying to turn the Notting Hell carnage into a race war, how about you listen to this black woman,
Starting point is 00:07:07 reveal her shame, at what she describes as the atrocities of Notting Hill and the Christian hypocrisy at play. I have to say this. I have to say this today because it's just going to be said. As a black person, I'm embarrassed and ashamed of Notting Hill Carnival.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Notting Hill Carnival does not represent black culture. It's an embarrassment to black culture. because what happens on those streets at Notting Hill Carnival is nothing but atrocities and lewdness. And it annoys me even more if you get people calling themselves Christians. I go to church. Yesterday you were in church, raising your hands, worshipping Jesus. And today you've got batty riders on doing all sorts of atrocities wearing your bra on the street. Do not call yourself a Christian.
Starting point is 00:08:07 And then today you're out there waving yourself around wearing batty riders on the streets. Let me tell you as a black woman, Carnival, not in Hill. It does not represent black culture. It's an embarrassment to black people and black culture. Let me tell you that. The only good thing about carnival is the food. That's it. But I won't be going there for the food.
Starting point is 00:08:43 Because it's probably halal. It's almost certainly halal. And I want you to compare that sane woman to this woman who is trying to say that she's totally safe from men, totally safe for men at the Notting Hill Carnival. When this happened. Oh my God, guys, I'm just in Notting Hill Carnival. I'm not going to lie.
Starting point is 00:09:07 Literally. What are you saying? I'm good, I'm about here. I was just going to say, everyone hears me, she might quite, they're so romantic. Like, guys here are so romantic, like, honestly. Everyone's just being so nice. As she turns around, feeling completely unsafe.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Fascinating, wasn't it? Why is she pushing a narrative that deep down she doesn't feel? It was very, very obvious there. She's terrified. Yet for the Metropolitan Police, it was all fun in games and it really shouldn't have been. Officer, officer! You're wearing a head. Okay.
Starting point is 00:10:02 Citizens and journalists on the ground were so stunned to see the suicidal leftist just loving London's Islamist Mesaed Kahn. Oh, look at what no idea. I Mayor Cunt plays really Would you want to fight away this idiot wrecking the country Absolutely ruining the country
Starting point is 00:10:35 And people love him What a banker Why is he smiling Why is Khan smiling Your city is in flames As Chris Rose reported 23 arrests At the United Kingdom rally MSM a disgraceful display
Starting point is 00:11:00 Of far right Yobs Violence and Fear Everywhere 560 arrests at Notting Hill Carnival, MSM, an overwhelmingly positive event, perfect for a family day out. He then directly challenged High City, Khan, any comment on the 560 arrests at Notting Hill Carnival up 32 from last year's arrests. It hasn't improved and the current setup clearly isn't working. Not a word. Not a word. Not a word from Khan, even as his own police force, as of 8.45 p.m. last night announced Notting Hill Carnival is joined to a close. with the policing operation entering its final phase.
Starting point is 00:11:36 The majority of attendees have left the area, but officers remain on duty to ensure those remaining can get home safely. The two days passed largely without incident, with a significant proactive policing operation ensuring the minority who posed a risk to the safety of the majority were deterred or intervened against. There were two assaults with knives, one stabbing and one slashing,
Starting point is 00:11:56 neither of which resulted in life-threatening injuries. As of 8.30, there had been 315 arrests on Monday, bringing the total number of arrests over the two-day operation to 560. It is likely this number may rise, while latter arrests, a process and a further confirmatory update will be provided in the morning. 48 of the arrests on Monday followed identification using live fatal recognition. Use of the technology allowed officers to stop 43 registered sex offenders to ensure that they were complying with licensed conditions. Three were arrested for breaching those conditions, in addition to three arrested for breaches on Sunday. Stop and search was used extensively with 62 weapons seized across both days, including a handgun.
Starting point is 00:12:40 Very sadly, we learned earlier this afternoon that a man had died after entering a canal of Kensal Road. So come on. Come on. This is an absolute disgrace, despite the police and their mealy-mouth statement, which is totally different to the approach they take with the United Kingdom. The number of arrests is now record-breaking. It is actually at 636 as we come on air today. Drugs, knives, assaults on officers, sexual offences, two slashing attacks. This is after they banned 330 people in advance, flooded the streets with more than 7,000 officers and used live facial recognition on an industrial scale. The official line, that the mood was overwhelmingly positive and celebratory. Of course it was. That's what they always say. They said it last year after 528 arrests.
Starting point is 00:13:31 They said it the year before after eight stabbings and two deaths. They will keep saying it until someone is forced to admit the bleeding obvious. This event has become a magnet for serious criminality that the rest of the country is just expected to pretend as culture. So last year's 528 was already a record. This year's figure has beaten it while the carnival is still going on. Go back a decade and the numbers were in the mid-400s at worse. go back further, they were routinely under 300, so the trajectory here is not subtle. And Londoners are picking up a policing bill that has ballooned into the tens of millions.
Starting point is 00:14:09 Private events get charged. This one does not. The people who live in Notting Hill get their streets turned into a war zone for 48 hours, their gardens used as toilets, and then they're told to celebrate diversity. Let me be very clear. This is what happens when an event is treated as politically untouchable. When any criticism sees you immediately labelled racist, when Mayor Kahn's office and the usual media suspects would rather gaslight the public than confront the numbers. These number of arrests, over 600, that is not a rounding error. It is not a small minority. It is a record. And records like this tell you everything you need to know about the state of London in 26. The silenced majority can see it. The people in charge still refuse to. Indeed,
Starting point is 00:14:56 Labour ministers will do anything to justify the behaviour dismissing the millions that previously gathered for unite the kingdom. You know, it's a celebration. I think the arrests are unacceptable, but it's actually driven by the numbers. You know, I don't think there's any comparable gathering anywhere in the UK. Two million people on the streets. That's huge. That drives the numbers. Look, I'm staying in Paddington tonight, and I came out of my hotel and walked across here, I said, oh, Christ, because people arriving, having them heading towards, not in ill. It's loud, it's boisterous, but actually my experience of it,
Starting point is 00:15:38 it was largely peaceful, but the level of arrest unacceptable. And I do actually think that if it was moved, say, Hyde Park, it's more contained, more manageable, there's more space, and it's not got that immediate abutment onto people's houses. Soon, or Sharma, by contrast, compare the numbers with Glastonbury. and hit back at claims that pointing out this depravity makes you racist in any way. Nottingale Carnival, 528 arrests over two days. Glastonbury, over five days, 36 arrests.
Starting point is 00:16:12 There is something seriously wrong that is going on at Nottingale Carnival, and that doesn't make me or anyone that's worried about it racist or have some cultural issues with communities trying to celebrate their cultural festival. that is an absolute disgrace that more than 500 arrests occur over two days. And what's also deeply, deeply worrying about Nottingham Carnival, again, because people loved in the Glassbury, example, the reason I'm bringing in Glassroomby, I've seen it so much over social media, ever since I've started talking about the carnival. The first thing people say is Glastonbury, Grassonbury. The big difference, Glassonbury is in a controlled environment. Glastonbury is in an almost caged environment.
Starting point is 00:16:50 You pay money to attend that festival. Nottingham Carnival, you don't have to pay anything. It's an open affair. It's an open day affair. Anyone can be. Their families go there. Children are there. There's no children there. There's no families there. People aren't there with their two, three-year-olds. In Nottingill Carnival, people are. This is happening in broad daylight. Indeed it is. On the scene, Restore Britain's Montgomery Tom's reported Notting Hill Carnival as the blueprint for the rest of the British Isles. We need mass deportation. We need a monoculture. We need to restore a high-trust society. I couldn't spend a long-time, commenting on the grotesque event, it became too dangerous once people recognised me. I was sexually assaulted multiple times with foreign women coming up behind me and twerking on me, endless gun signs made at the camera and more arrests than I could count. In my lifetime, unless we stop at Britain in its entirety, will look as Notting Hill looks for these three days.
Starting point is 00:17:46 We have a duty. To our ancestors, Notting Hill Carnival is the day the devil comes to play. And I do think there is a wider point about what is going on in London under Sadiq Khan and the type of culture that has been created and that sees stunts like this going unchallenged. 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, 6-2, change for the central line and delivery line. I need tissue. I need to clean this up.
Starting point is 00:19:09 It was just for content. I need to clean it out. Where's this is you? I don't think they can. I just got tissue. I just have my mother. I did. See you got tissue. See you got tissue.
Starting point is 00:19:22 You pretend, bro. We're about to get off. Bro, you're not. I just... I just feel like that video is very instructive because all of the people in that tube carriage, just watch on as if they've given up, as if they're too scared, as if it's socially unacceptable, as if they're worried about being stabbed themselves or arrested themselves if they step in. And I think it is instructive about what London under Khan has become.
Starting point is 00:20:00 and what you'll notice is that the establishment keep trying to find ways to excuse what is inexcusable, like Mariana Mazakato, arguing of the event, what if we treated Notting Hill Carnival, not simply as an event to be funded, but as infrastructure to be invested in. And the spectators, Madeline Grant, rightly hit back crossrail, never stabbed anyone. Reform UK's Merrill candidate, Laila Cunningham, is using the Nottingham. Hill Carnival to point out the socialist horror, the carnage that Khan has unleashed on the rest of Londonistan. So we're not far from the famous brick lane now.
Starting point is 00:20:41 I think we walked about three minutes and we're about to stumble upon another camp. How long have you lived here? I live in here. Why are you living here? I'm working about the council house. You're waiting for a council house. Yeah. What do you do all day just on your computer?
Starting point is 00:20:55 Yeah. Chilling. Do you work? No. No. It's difficult to get a job, bro. Before I walk in. Where? Before I work like in, warehouse, Amazon. Oh, I see. Amazon. How do you earn money? What do you do for money? I want to have money before I walk like seven years. So you don't work at all now?
Starting point is 00:21:17 But while actively promoting the Not in Hell carnage, our state broadcast to the BBC decided to broadcast the rapper Loyal Cana's lyrics at Reading Festival, F Nigel Farage and Free Palestine. He also attacked J.K. Rowling with expletives. As Chris Rose put it, another politically neutral BBC mistake, which only ever seems to go one way. Watch.
Starting point is 00:21:40 Bernie Spofford, Michael Farage and Free Palestine. Bernie Spofforth argued, this is why free speech is so important. The BBC calls the rapper's performance who sung F. Farage, poignant and uplifting. Let them speak.
Starting point is 00:21:59 Because then you know who they are. We see you BBC and the people will decide. Now, Leo curses here. Leo, when Cheya Chowdry posted on X, before the crocodile tears start from the usual suspects about Notting Hill Carnival and Police Officer Safety, this is how self-proclaimed patriots treat officers. And you replied, imagine comparing Notting Hill Carnival with an actual riot over British girls being stabbed to death by a Rwandan refugee.
Starting point is 00:22:37 This isn't water boutary, it's thick as fuckery. But the problem is, Leo, we have just seen this across the board. Like, the mainstream media are not prepared to go there on the Notting Hill Carnival. Like a blackout. Honestly, I've been checking everything,
Starting point is 00:22:57 GB News, the Sun, the Daily Mail, the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Express. They've all posted pictures, Leo, of the wonderful, culturally diverse costumes and nothing about the huge level of violence which makes unite the kingdom look like the most peaceful event in British history. They're too scared, Leo.
Starting point is 00:23:18 They are too scared of being called racist. Yeah, and they've got to stick to their, they've got these diversity and inclusion rules. So, of course, they're terrified. They're terrified of doing anything. The only way you can really get fired from any job now is if somebody accuses you of being. being racist. And the only way you can make sure nobody ever accuses you of being racist is to
Starting point is 00:23:39 never, ever, ever criticise anything to do with black people or ethnic minorities. I mean, I say ethnic minority. But obviously, if you look at the world scale, they're actually majorities and white people make up. I think it's about six to seven percent of the global population. Yet somehow we're a majority. I don't understand how that works. And certainly in London, we're a minority. White Brits are a minority in London. And you'd think the United Kingdom rally might get some special funding in leeway because technically it's a minority rally now.
Starting point is 00:24:11 But the response from Sky, the response from the BBC is just to celebrate, just to push the narrative that it's just a peaceful, mostly peaceful coming together of people to party. And look at these beautiful costumes. Man, I drove through it last night. I was on my way. I was in the debate on G.B. News on the Notting Hill Carnival.
Starting point is 00:24:32 and obviously I had to drive through West London to get there and it was not pleasant. If you told me there'd been some kind of apocalypse that cannibals had taken to the street, the supermarkets had run out of food and people were now cracking each other's heads open in some sort of Mad Max style scenario. I would not have been surprised.
Starting point is 00:24:54 The only giveaway that there was some kind of carnival going on was the fact that there were very large buttocked women clad in very little clothing. And to be honest, I could have done without seeing those buttocks. They had the loosest fishnets I've ever seen in my life. And it honestly looked like somebody had crammed some hippopotamuses into those bags you get oranges in. It was kind of disgusting.
Starting point is 00:25:19 Yeah, I know. But the thing is, Leo, the Notting Hill Carnival is a microcosm, isn't it? For what is happening across London? I mean, you see that guy who's just pouring milk all over himself. you see Leila Cunningham pointing out how there are now slum areas developing in places like Shortch, you know, the heart of trendy London. And actually, this is the Islamist takeover, the Khan takeover, and actually Labour's socialism in action. And the reason I pointed out, Leo, is that this is coming to the rest of the United Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:25:55 What starts in London spreads across our country. So be afraid. Be very, very afraid. Absolutely. And we've seen in the last week, we've seen footage from the Peak District, from Flandudno in Wales. I don't know if I pronounced that properly. I probably didn't. But from all these beauty spots in the countryside that have now been taken over by ethnic minorities. I mean, I say minority, as I say, in a lot of parts of the UK, they're not minorities anymore. They're the majority. And we're seeing that, you know, the classic British cultural norms. Like the guy who's pouring milk on his head in the train carriage, that's not British culture. In Britain, we put the milk in first and then we add the black man. But we're not seeing people adhere to the civilised norms that Britain's famous for. And these are the civilised norms.
Starting point is 00:26:51 Once they go, that's it. Once you lose that high trust society, it's very difficult to. get it back. Once, you know, people stop being polite and, you know, putting the common good first instead of their own personal good, then it's quite quickly that you can descend into sort of third worldism. And I think that's the direction of travel in the UK. I mean, the left absolutely want to accelerate it and want to bring it on.
Starting point is 00:27:21 Because they're getting votes from these groups, Sadie Kahn would never criticize. Notting Hill because he's getting votes from all those people. The Labour Party are getting votes from these people and that's why the Labour Party didn't do anything about grooming gangs and things like that and have been so tiptoed around
Starting point is 00:27:40 any Islamist terror because they were getting votes from the Muslim community for so long. Under Jeremy Corbyn, 85% of British Muslims voted for Jeremy Corbyn. That's an insane bias. Obviously now that they've got the numbers,
Starting point is 00:27:55 the Muslim community is electing its own Muslim leaders who are now in Parliament agitating for such special, you know, classic British interests as cousin marriage and Gaza and other things that I frankly do not care about, you know. But yeah, this is the direction of travel in the UK. And if the UK doesn't wake up pretty soon it's going to be too late. And we're seeing the enrichment. It's not confined to urban centres anymore.
Starting point is 00:28:24 It's coming. It's coming to the countryside. It's coming to towns all over the country. Breaking today, a farcical moment in Westminster as a top BBC presenter is backed. Despite mistaking the senior conservative figures of James Cleverly and Quasie Quatang, two conservative big beasts who happened to be black, and the sort of woke crime that would have seen one of us on the right, That's as Slippri Stama conducts his final U-turn. How appropriate, by the way, that the man who U-turned through his entire dire time as Prime Minister ends in a U-turn, quitting Parliament altogether after doing the job for the globalists by trying to destroy Britain.
Starting point is 00:29:16 Breaking news to bring you now. We understand that the former Prime Minister, Sarkir Stama, is to stand down as a member of Parliament. We have just heard, courtesy of his local newspaper, the Camden New Journal in North London, that he is to stand down as an MP. We've got some breaking news that we're hearing about a former Prime Minister. Christopher, if you're ready for us, would you like to deliver the news? This is a great surprise. Kirstama, Sir Kierstahm, MP for Hoban and St. Pankwis, is quitting as a Labour MP.
Starting point is 00:29:48 Now, this is a great surprise because we were told this wasn't going to happen. And Henry Zepin, the journalist, has leaked. a private conversation he had with two-tier care, slippery Stama, back on the 3rd of July. Look at this. This just proves how Stama is such a lie, Zephman. And you're going to stay as an MP. Stama.
Starting point is 00:30:07 I'm going to stay as an MP. Zephman. Until the next election, Stama, yes. But today, in a statement he announced over the summer, I have had time to reflect and consider my future. I've decided that now is the right time to step down as MP for Holborn and St. Pancras and hand the baton over to a successor. By election time, that's going to be fun.
Starting point is 00:30:30 It is now time to step aside and focus on other issues. Oh, wonder what those other issues are. International affairs. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. We know he gears much more about any other country than the UK, including defence, security, trade and technology in a fast-changing world. Then my jaw was on the floor. I will also continue working with others,
Starting point is 00:30:49 as I have done over many decades to tackle violence against women and girls. Okay, let's pause for a moment. Are you serious? This is the man who refused a meeting with my friend Chavonne White multiple times, multiple times, after her daughter, Rianne White, under his watch, was bludgeon to death after being stabbed 23 times in the head with a screwdriver by an illegal migrant who Stama had let into this country on a small boat. So fuck you!
Starting point is 00:31:27 Trying to talk about tackling violence against women and girls, you despicable, disgraceful man. And he went on, as I do that, I will always remain immensely proud to have represented the place Vic, the kids and I call home. There will now be a process to appoint my successor ahead of a by-election. Whoever is lucky enough to become the Labour candidate here will have my full support and backing and I will continue to give my full support
Starting point is 00:31:50 to the Prime Minister in the Labour government. Now Burnham, who we must remember spend 18 months, 18 months non-stop working to unseat Stama like a snake, proved how two-faced years by finally entering Parliament and starting by paying tribute to Stama. As he stands down from this place, I want to pay tribute to the right Honourable Member for Holben and St. Pankeris.
Starting point is 00:32:19 He has given this country a lifetime of public service, Mr Speaker, particularly for those fighting for justice. When my rights honourable friend delivered in this House on his promise to the Hillsborough families and everyone involved in the Hillsborough Law campaign, it was a moment I will never forget. His leadership took our party from one of its worst defeats to its best victories and created a platform to change this country for the better. We will use it well, Mr Speaker, and we wish his family the very best for the future. Leader of the opposition, Kemi Bainanat, warned Burnham
Starting point is 00:33:03 that his new job wasn't going to be easy. His predecessor stood at that dispatch box two years ago, sounding very triumphant, having just won a landslide. Just two years ago, what went wrong? Where is he now? Gone. That job is not as easy as it looks from the outside, Mr. Speaker. Labour MPs have not explained why they got rid of him. They have not explained, they're laughing, but they haven't explained why they got rid of his predecessor. But on this side of the House, we understand that this country's problems will not be solved by lofty promises alone.
Starting point is 00:33:40 In the end, the Prime Minister will be judged on what he actually delivers. This is a very different job to be mayor of Manchester. where he did not have to pick winners and losers and he did not have to make difficult trade-offs. He did not have to worry about our national security. He does now. And let's be honest, this is the come before the storm. It is very clear.
Starting point is 00:34:02 An early election will be held, probably at some point next year, and there is a massive battle on the right of British politics. Nigel Farage, the leader of Reform UK, was sworn in again as the MP for Clacton. after achieving victory in the self-inflicted by election last month. I swear by a mighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs, successors, according to law. So help me God.
Starting point is 00:35:05 Do you want to know what I think sums up our media class, sly news, immediately after that moment, which was very ho-harm, admitted that they were pretty much distraught that Farage hadn't been booed. At Nigel Farage, an MP, up once again. It was quite a subdued affair, wasn't it?
Starting point is 00:35:55 We thought that there might be a bit of juring. There was a little bit of sort of a smack. of laughter, but pretty subdued affair. It was more low-key than I was expecting. I was expecting, as you say, jeers from the Labour side, the Liberal Democrats, they loathe Nigel Farage. But it was all quite low-key. No handshake with the Speaker.
Starting point is 00:36:17 There was a few mutterings, which I must admit I couldn't detect exactly what was being said. But look, what the huge news in terms of the right is today, is this new piece. poll, the headline voting attention for more in common, showing the Conservative Party taking over Reform UK for the first time in a very long time. And you will note, restore Britain at 4% of the vote and building, even though that party has been locked in its own civil war with, in my view, the very, very sad news that its spokesperson for women and children, all a mini-hain, has today quit. Then we get to the woke crime that everyone in Westminster is quietly whispering about. Former editor of the son, David Yellen, now a committed lefty, BBC lefty, who made
Starting point is 00:37:15 the embarrassing error of mistaking James Cleverley for Quasi Quatang, two of the big conservative of beasts who, let's be honest, don't look alike at all. Yet, uh, Yelland wrote on eggs, is this the state of our politics? Liz Trusses Brexit Chancellor for 10 seconds, says Andy Burnham has to cleared war on London. He's speaking about Cleverley, who's running for the mayor of London, and expects that to persuade a sophisticated electorate in the capital to elect him as mayor. This is abysmal PR ill-judged messaging awful. Now Cleverley quickly corrected him, writing, David, I'm the other black one. Bieland to reply, meant foreign secretary have reposted.
Starting point is 00:37:58 But as the sons Harry Cole pointed out, can you imagine the stink if anyone other than an ultra-woke rebranded BBC host made a gaff like this? Bialand wasn't apologising at all, later raging, making an admittedly idiotic error then saying, sorry, does not make you a buffoon. I confused the jobs, not the men, actually. I meant to say foreign secretary and put chancellor.
Starting point is 00:38:21 I corrected and apologized as soon as I saw my fault, my error. So what a disgusting man this David Yelland is? He made a mistake. Now, I don't blame anyone for making this mistake. But just think for a moment that if this were a mistake that had been made by someone on the right, David Yelland, a hardline lefty, would have been calling for their total destruction. I want to show you what David Yellen said on Newsnight after my suspension from GB News, where he called the channel a pound shop Fox News.
Starting point is 00:38:53 Well, look, I think there is a... I wouldn't want to say existential threats, but these are poundland Fox News channels, these right-wing channels that are coming... that have been developed in the last two years. I think we need to understand what's happening here, though. There is a co-elect... There will be newspapers, there are newspapers,
Starting point is 00:39:16 and these TV channels coalescing. They share their advertising, houses, they will soon probably share ownership. And this is all about what happens to the Conservative Party post the election, assuming the Conservative Party loses. That is what this is about. They employ... What do you mean? Well, the right of the Conservative Party, and in this country, is coalescing around this TV channel. They employ at least four former Cabinet Ministers. This is a very major thing that's happening here, or at least they hope it's going to be. And this little fraccar is just the tip of the iceberg. I mean, Leo, because
Starting point is 00:39:50 I can barely speak. So how did he get a job as a BBC presenter? We know it's because of his politics. Uber leftist. Uber woke. But let's just imagine for one second, Leo, that you had happened to get Dawn Butler and Diane Abbott mixed up in a post. And then you said, oh, no, no, no. It was just I got their jobs muddled up. I mean, come on. There would be calls for your head. There would be calls for you to be sacked. And it's not in this case, Leo, that I actually do want Yellen to face any type of reprimand. He did make a mistake. It was an honest mistake. He should be honest about it. He got James Cleverly and Quasie Quattan muddled up because there are two black Tories. Let's just be honest about it. He can't be honest about it. But why I
Starting point is 00:40:36 call out the left in these moments, Leo, is because they show us no mercy. They never accept a mistake. So there that bloke was the day I was suspended from GB News. Basically, using that moment where I didn't apologize because, you know, Lawrence Fox City wanted to shag him. He used that to call effectively for the whole station to be shut down. He is a vulture. They are vultures.
Starting point is 00:41:03 Yet when he has just made a mistake that he claims is an honest mistake, others would call it a racist mistake. Certainly if it was someone from the right who made that mistake, it would be called a racist mistake. I don't. But the point that I'm making, Leo, is he has given a total free
Starting point is 00:41:19 It just shows the two-tier society, the two-tier media that we now live in. Yeah, and his excuse, because he didn't even just apologize and say, oops, sorry, I guess I'm a bit racist. He sort of dug himself deeper. He said he meant the foreign secretary, but that didn't make any sense because in his original tweet, he mentioned the short time they served under List Trust, which, you know, when James Cleverley was,
Starting point is 00:41:49 foreign secretary. He didn't serve for a short time. He served for quite a long time. So he clearly, he clearly didn't mean to say foreign secretary. That was a terrible, terrible excuse, just digging the whole deeper. And, you know, fair plate of James Cleverly for just, you know, just slapping him down like that. It was a beautiful moment. And I hope James Cleverly does well when he runs as London mayor. But yeah, David Yelland, I mean, there's no forgiveness from the left. If somebody like me, and to be honest, I'd be, I think it'd be legitimate for me to make a mistake like that because, you know, I'm not as well-versed in politics as David Yelland as is, and also I'm a bit racist. So, you know, I should be allowed.
Starting point is 00:42:34 I should be allowed to make a mistake like that. But David Yelland has no excuse, no leg to stand on whatsoever. No, indeed. Now, Leo, of course, it comes on the day that Parliament returns. And everything at the moment is so choreographed because the mainstream media, they have their man in place, and so they want everything to appear as if it's calm and there's no crisis, there's no invasion of the country. And of course, what had to happen before Burnham takes to the stage as the hero,
Starting point is 00:43:03 or they had to get that old bloke, who they were completely wrong to back, who they were completely wrong to endorse, slippery stammer off the stage. So he's off, he's off. Total liar, claim that he was going to stay as an MP, He actually has no desire to represent his constituents, never gave a damn about them.
Starting point is 00:43:22 All he cared about was becoming Prime Minister. But Leo, I am utterly furious with his statement where he claims that he is off to work on the safety of women. This is a man who refused to ever sit down with Rianne and White's mum, Chauvonne. He didn't give a damn about the whole scale rape of our women by illegal invaders. He never gave a damn, Leo, about the cover. cover up at the Pakistani Muslim rape gang. Remember, no statutory inquiry under him? I just, I couldn't believe the tone-deaf nature of that statement.
Starting point is 00:43:57 But then I sort of could because he's the most shameful, evil man who's probably ever led this country. Yeah, and he's shameless as well, because he criticised Rishi Sunak years ago for leaving his post to jet off to California and take a high-paying job in banking or tech. or whatever it was, like politicians, like Nick Clegg, like they all tend to do. I've got a feeling Kirstarmer is doing the exact same thing.
Starting point is 00:44:24 I think he's going to move on to some highly paid, you know, board positions or executive roles in tech companies or in finance or, you know, some kind of legal company. And he's going to be making a lot more money than he was when he was prime minister. And, you know, fair play to him. But fair play to him for making that money. Not fair play for being an absolutely. shameless hypocrite, just a bare-faced hypocrite. You know, you can't criticize Rishi Sunak for going and taking the corporate dollar and enriching himself using his political connections
Starting point is 00:44:58 and then do the exact same thing yourself. So, Leo, there is this massive war on the right. A huge moment today. The Tories taking over Reform UK. Reform have their big conference starting on Thursday. This is in some ways described as a bit of a make-or-break moment for Nigel Farage, who returned to Parliament today, was sworn in, then immediately gave an interview to GB News saying that he's actually going to spend more time touring the country, less time in Parliament. But I think, Leo, we also have to talk about the fact that Restore Britain, which has provided such staunch competition to Reform UK and has been pushing Reform UK to the right after Rupert Lowe left, reform or was booted out of reform and set up this rival movement, now itself immersed in some
Starting point is 00:45:54 type of very unfortunate civil war. All of many hein, she is a regular hero and outspoken, very inspiring woman. She led the Pink Ladies' movement. And she has been under attack from the right-wing faction of Restore Britain in recent days. And she has snapped in the past couple of hours, posting on X, I have decided to resign from my role as the spokesman. Women for the Safety of Women and Girls at Restore Britain. Thank you to all the wonderful people I have met over the months who have supported me throughout my time within the party. My heart and soul is with the pink ladies, a group of amazing brave women who fight relentlessly for the safety and security of British women and girls. The greatest travesty of our time is the risk and danger consecutive
Starting point is 00:46:35 governments have put us in. My job now is to hold every government minister and MP to account and fight for the change we need to protect our women and children. We must stand together and fight for the most vulnerable in our societies, all of them. I wish everyone, one within Restore Britain the best of luck and thank Rupert for his ongoing friendship. Rupert Lowe replies, a huge thank you for all of your work, all are in wishing you every success with the Pink Ladies and Organisation that has done more than any other to defend British women and girls will support however we can. But this to me feels like a very, very worrying blow for Restore Britain.
Starting point is 00:47:11 because for Restore to be a significant political force, it needs more than young men. And you know, Leo, how much I have stuck up for the young men within Restore Britain and said their voice is very important. And obviously there's a lot of them who have appeared on this show, like over a long period of time, Charlie Downs and Lewis Brackpool and Harrison Pearson, I have really wanted them to become political stars. They deserve to be political stars. But all are many haines are a political star too. And she represented such an important voice, the voice of the women of this country. And losing her from the party, I can't see why this is being celebrated by many online as a positive thing. Because you need to have a broad coalition if you want to win an election.
Starting point is 00:48:09 Yes, absolutely. And the thing about a political party is different from if you're a one person campaigner. If you're one person campaigner, everything you say can be exactly what you want and exactly, you know, you're going ahead in the direction you want to go. And you're not influenced by anybody else. There's no debate over that. Whereas if you're in a political party, it's much more like, you know, you're getting on a bus with other people and you're going to stop that's near where you want to go. But it's the bus that's going as close as possible in the direction you want to go. So it's not going to be perfect.
Starting point is 00:48:46 And I think there's a lot of chaos and a lot of infighting and restore because you've got these two groups that don't seem to be able to reconcile. You've got the zoomers and the boomers. So you've got the on one side the zoomers, these young men, you know, often very smartly dressed, very clever, very good ideas. like you say Harrison Pitt, Charlie Downs, Lewis Brackpool. And they've got some great ideas. But they also have some places where they need to sort of temper their ideas and listen to the experience of the older people. And then you've got the boomers, the older people.
Starting point is 00:49:25 So Rupert, I'd say, is one of those. He's, as far as I can tell, he's always been, you know, kind of a classic conservative. And he'd probably still be in the conservative party if they were in any way conservative. But, you know, he's not as radical as some of the younger ones. And, you know, when it comes to issues such as Israel, you know, the younger ones seem to seem to have very turned against Israel. Whereas I think the older people see Israel as an ally and see it as the front line of civilization and, you know, an ally in the fight against Islamic radicalism and the takeover of Islamism.
Starting point is 00:50:03 So, you know, the two sides are having a hard time reconciling. And some of the more recent appointees, like I know Howard Cox was controversial with some of the younger people in Restore. But they've got to understand. Everybody's got to understand you're in a party. You're not on your own. So all this, you know, from the outside, all this infighting, all this criticizing each other on Twitter, it looks so terrible. destroys the credibility of the party
Starting point is 00:50:35 because nobody wants to vote for a bunch of cats fighting in a sack. You want to vote for. Fight the big fights. Fight the big fights. It's very, very frustrating because you're never going to get your way 100% of the time in a political party.
Starting point is 00:50:49 Don't join a political party if you want to get your way 100% of the time. Unfortunately, there has to be a degree of compromise unless you want to go and set up your own party. Now, that's why I have stayed totally independent on this show. And lots of people like to say, oh, you're shilling for Restore Britain. No, no, no, no. All I ever did was give Rupert Lowe a platform. Give those brilliant people within Restore Britain a platform. But I also gave people from within Reform UK a platform, within the Conservative Party, a platform from within Advance UK and UK.
Starting point is 00:51:19 And UKIP and the SDP a platform, because I believe in all of the right, being able to have a voice rather than some of these stations that will, for example, only allowed Reform UK members on. conservatives on. I think it's absolutely important that we have this debate in the open and we celebrate the brilliance of lots of these people. But unfortunately, a civil war has not been good for Reform UK. And I'm going to come to that. And it's not going to be good if Restore Britain descends into civil war now. It's not. People don't want to vote for a disunited party. Weirdly at the moment, and I'm never going to vote for them again. I've been very clear about that. But the conservatives are a a united party. And that's why their support is building. And what's interesting is that Peter McCormack, who is someone who I respect a lot, actually, he is an
Starting point is 00:52:07 independent podcaster too, but he has given a voice to all of these people on all of the parties, and I would say is maybe restore adjacent. He's been very supportive of Rupert Lowe. And he actually believes Leo that it's over for Reform UK now. This is what he is predicting. This is after the poll. So I'll let you respond, Leo, because I know you disagree. But he describes it as the cooking of reform. And he says the cooking of reform continues. The appointments of Andrew Griffiths is shadowed Chancellor and Katie Lamas, shadow housing communities and local government secretary show the Conservatives are getting serious. They are two of the best we have alongside Nick Timothy. They have lost some junk to reform. No major loss apart from Suella.
Starting point is 00:52:49 I mean, I disagree with that because I don't think you can call Robert Jenrick junk or Andrew Rosendell junk. That's my personal view. But that's how he feels. They've lost some junk to reform. No major loss apart from Suella. Now they just need to cut as many of the liberal wets as possible. I expect reform to get desperate, but the slide will continue. They had their chance, ignored and insulted their voters. And it's those last five words, Leo, that hit home hard with me. Ignored and insulted their voters.
Starting point is 00:53:23 And anyone who's followed me here on Outspoken knows that I was constantly calling that out from Reform UK. Do you remember Richard Tice went on GV News and he described Tommy Robinson supporters as that lot? We don't want that lot anywhere near the party. Well, that lot is 3 million people on the streets of London, Richard Tice. Like, that was a strategic era. And then I think the celebration of Rupert going and setting up Restore Britain was also massively, massively strategically mad. if I'm honest. But what do you think?
Starting point is 00:54:00 Do you agree with Peter McCormack that Reform UK is over? Or do you think there is a chance for the party to turn it around? Yeah, I don't agree at all that reform is over. I mean, politics is a long game. And, you know, obviously,
Starting point is 00:54:14 Nigel Farage has been in the game for a long time. And he knows what he's doing. Obviously, he can't control everything. And I think there have been some missteps. I think calling the by-election in Clacton was a bit of an error because it meant he had to spend the summer campaigning
Starting point is 00:54:30 and focusing on the election, being in his constituency. Normally reform, during the summer when there's not much happening in the news, they can travel, Nigel can travel around the country, making hay and making fun, criticizing the establishment.
Starting point is 00:54:45 He wasn't really able to do that. And you're sort of seeing the move of reform from an insurgent party to an establishment party. And obviously that's going to come, as more people come into the tent, people in the tent are going to be are going to say well this is to you know we're being watered down and blah blah blah but they've also got to you know reform have got to appeal to your
Starting point is 00:55:06 your classic middle england conservative voter so you know when i think when tice uh criticizes tommy robinson that's what that's about i don't like it you don't like it uh but you know elect as pure electoral arithmetic i think um you know he he wants to put some distance between between him and some other people who, you know, even though it's very unfair, are seen as too much. Breaking today in a massive blow to cancel culture, a man who blackmailed venues hosting Katie Hopkins gigs has been found guilty and is now facing prison for his criminal activism. You'll remember how the constant bid to shut down Katie shows
Starting point is 00:55:53 to take away her livelihood to stop her communicating and performing her fans really destroyed her for a period, driving her to tears in this viral video. So about a week ago, I found out they were pulling the venue. So the church's conservation trust pulled the venue. And for a week or however many days it's been, it's been a lot, I've been trying. I've been trying. So I offered to go meet the guy. that went back on his decision, I offered to perform for the trustees or shareholders or whoever
Starting point is 00:56:41 the powerful people were. I offered to get other venues that have seen what I do, but this will be a different show, but to call, to say, look, we were nervous about Katie, but actually, I tried everything and nothing would work. So then I tried a legal letter, and I don't like to do that because I don't believe in legal. I don't believe the law's the law. In fact, I've learned it's not. So I spent money because I want, I know how many people would have spent money on transport,
Starting point is 00:57:14 on hotels, on, and I cannot let people down. And so behind the scenes, what Katie hadn't revealed is this major police investigation leading to a trial. She revealed the verdict first on X, writing Katie Hopkins guilty on all. all four counts. Obviously, she's not talking about herself. Thank God. She's talking about the man who was working against her. And this is what was said in court. A man responsible for pressurizing
Starting point is 00:57:42 my venues to cancel has been found guilty of four counts of blackmail by a jury at Southampton Crown Court. Blackmail is a serious criminal offense and carries a prison term. Sentencing is on the 16th of October 2026. She added, I remind those pressuring venues to cancel performers. This is a criminal act. She added. I require theatres that were cowed by one criminal to reinstate my fully sold-out shows. I thank the Crown Prosecution Service and Dorset Police for being splendid and to the jury. Godspeed in all you do. One man and his relentless campaign to cancel my shows found guilty on all four counts of blackmail
Starting point is 00:58:24 to the 27 venues who cave to the actions of this one criminal, it is time for my sold-out shows to be reinstated to those of you who try to cancel venues, your behaviour is criminal. I will come for you. Katie Hopkins, reclaiming the public square, like a bloody ninja, no lawyer, no co-fund me, no messy. Now this story is getting hardly any pick-up in the mainstream media. Locally, though, the Daily Echo did reveal that the man is called Oliver Hutchings. He is 32 years old and he was convicted of four charged. of blackmail following the trial. Jurors were previously told that Hutchins targeted venues hosting shows by right-wing political
Starting point is 00:59:10 commentator and media personality Katie Hopkins in 2023, including the Attic in Totten, where she was due to perform in February that year and the Joe Longthorn Theatre in Blackpool the following month. Prosecutor Simon Jones told the court that Hutchins contacted venue staff through Facebook, email and telephone calls in an effort to get the events called on. off. The court heard Hutchins acted because he believed Hopkins held prejudicial views against the LGBTQ plus community. The jury made up of five men and seven women returned guilty verdicts on all four charges. Now this is a huge moment. This is like a very rare victory for us in the common sense world. One of the few times that the judiciary, thanks to the people, and by the way, this is why we have to keep jury trials.
Starting point is 01:00:03 have to keep jury trials for this reason, because the jury has come down on the side of Katie Hopkins. That is extraordinary. But there is silence on this across the MSM. Silence on the British Bashing Corporation. Silence on Sly News. Silence on Channel 4 News. Silence on GV News. Silence on Talk TV. That is even though she has received high profile support from the likes of Sharon Davies, a member of the House of Lords, who wrote all of those malicious individuals targeting other people's jobs and earning capacity, otherwise no one is deliberately canceling, should pay attention to this judgment, regardless of political beliefs or views. This is against the law. You cannot implement targeted harassment, emails, calls and letters are
Starting point is 01:00:47 traceable. But Katie took aim in the way that only she can at G.B. News, writing, Dear G.B. News, I imagine you will be all over this. Like that rash on Nigel's genitals. on, Beverly Turner, tell the editor to go fuck himself. And she is right. This is a massive story. It should at the very least be headline news across every bulletin tonight. I will be tracking the mainstream media. Unfortunately, I have a feeling that I will be let down in terms of the coverage. But Leo Curse, as an independent YouTube sensation and comedian, you face this, right? You have to go. livelihood is dependent on these live shows, dependent on these gigs. This to me feels like a seminal moment because we know how vile these campaigns are, how personal these campaigners get. Let's be
Starting point is 01:01:44 honestly, a campaign like this saw me lose my job on GB News when GB News gave into the mob. Katie lost gigs. That means she lost huge amounts of money. But she also let people down and she didn't want to and you saw the personal toll that this was taking on her. So this is avert to be celebrated today, is it not? Yeah, this is, I mean, this is great. And interestingly, I've got the same tour manager as Katie. So, you know, I'm familiar with this case. And it's, I mean, thank God, this result has come through because, I mean, as a comedian who sometimes says things that some people with pink hair nose rings might get offended by. Cancellation is a constant problem.
Starting point is 01:02:31 And when you're planning a tour in 2022, I had an entire tour pulled. Even last year, Swindon, at a date in Swindon, I think it's Swindon Art Center. I can't remember what it's called. But I've performed there before, and I've performed there with the Lotus Eaters.
Starting point is 01:02:46 I've performed there with Carl Benjamin. So you'd think they'd be, you know, they know what they're getting. You'd think they'd be fine. That got cancelled. I don't know if it's, sometimes it's the staff working in the venue that suddenly decide that they're, you know, they're not just there to sell tickets and, you know, to stamp your ticket and validate your car parking. They're also there as arbiters of what people should be allowed to spend their money on and what people should be allowed to see. So sometimes it's people at the venue getting you cancelled. I know Jerry Sadowitz was cancelled by people at the venue. And sometimes it's malicious loons in the public. in this case, contacting venues, threatening them. And, you know, in a lot of cases,
Starting point is 01:03:27 venues will take the easy way out and just cancel the artist. So thank God, because comedy doesn't need, it doesn't need to be policed. It doesn't need anybody canceling it. Because when we perform, we're performing in front of a jury. The audience are there. You know, Katie performs in front of hundreds of people, you know, a cross-section of British life.
Starting point is 01:03:50 So, you know, if she said anything that was genuinely, you know, too much. People wouldn't laugh. People wouldn't buy a ticket. They wouldn't go and see her. People are obviously getting a lot of enjoyment from her shows. She's, you know, everywhere I perform
Starting point is 01:04:03 because, you know, having the same tour manager, he knows, Chris knows that if he, if Katie's performed there, they're going to be fine with me performing there. If Hopkins is allowed, curses are walking the park.
Starting point is 01:04:16 And finally, if I'm doing his club, I'm doing his club in Southampton pretty soon. And I'm doing Cambridge. Well, I want to support these venues. So who are the good venues, Leo? Who are the venues that do support this plurality?
Starting point is 01:04:28 I know there's the backyard comedy in London because I'm obviously a London guy. That's where I go to watch people like Dominic Frisbee. Yes, the backyard club in London is great. I'm going to be there in September with Comedy Unleashed. There's the high-fi. There's the high-fi in Leeds. I'm going to be there with Count Dancula sometime soon.
Starting point is 01:04:50 there's the attic in Southampton that's great platforms a lot of people funnily enough right in the middle of London London's most successful comedy club I think they've got two or three venues now top secret comedy and it's very right on lots of students lots of young people and they have a superb
Starting point is 01:05:08 attitude to cancel culture I've been cancelled from the comedy store which is used to be the best club in London but it's now very very politically correct But top secret, which is the upstart and has all kinds of people on, they put me on. And I think that's great to see. They might not appreciate me broadcasting the fact that they put me on.
Starting point is 01:05:32 But yeah, in comedy, there is a lot of cancel culture, but there are also, you know, there's a lot of club owners, a lot of venues who stick to the rules. Because comedy used to be some that people went to get offended. You wanted to get offended. You wanted to see something outrageous. Here's some outrageous opinions with, you know, know, some truth in them. And that seems to have changed for a lot of people. In fact, the top secret got a complaint email in about me and it said, we came here to see Leo Kiers's show
Starting point is 01:06:00 in July and he was horrific and offensive and we left him discussed. And we came back to see him again in October and he's still horrific and offensive. It's like, go and see somebody else, go and see Rosie Jones, you know, have you got a spare nine hours. No one, very good. No one is forcing you to buy these tickets. The other thing, though, that this verdict is, shows to me, Leo, and it's very, very concerning, is the sophisticated and quite twisted nature of these cancellation campaigns, because this man, according to the prosecutor, was targeting staff at these venues personally, Leo, by email, by Facebook. Now, we have seen the twisted nature of political violence on the left. Unfortunately,
Starting point is 01:06:48 there's much I can't say about it at the moment because of fear of contempt of court procedures. But the murder, the assassination, I will call it that the political assassination of my friend Anne Whittaker, means that actually these threats on the left, these violent threats, cannot easily be dismissed, Leo, because some of these people are complete nut jobs. And so what's happening, unfortunately, is that these people working for the venues are just thinking, oh, I don't want to risk political violence. And that's why these campaigns, which are sophisticated and highly personalized, are so dangerous. Absolutely.
Starting point is 01:07:30 And yeah, I mean, you think people on the left, they're so sure, they're so absolutely certain that they've got this monopoly on correctness and monopoly on kindness. That, you know, anything they do has to be the right thing to do because they're the good people. And it's like, well, actually you're you're assassinating political leaders. You're assassinating, you know, old ladies and Charlie Kirk and, you know, getting people cancelled from venues. Maybe do they ever sit down and look at themselves and think, wait a minute, am I the bad guy? And the damage that can be done by just some little nerd sitting in his mother's basement sending complaint emails to comedy clubs is insane. And the damage that can be done by somebody working on one of those comedy clubs who suddenly decides they don't want to hear certain jokes is also insane. But yeah, I mean, I can understand, you know, obviously people have got a comedy club owners have got, they've got to keep their staff safe.
Starting point is 01:08:33 So any threats of physical violence against their staff have to be taken seriously. But I hope, you know, more venues are going to stand up against that. And I really hope that this verdict means that in the future, people will think twice before doing this horrible thing of trying to destroy somebody's livelihood. 20 years on, an Ali G that Sasha Baron Cohen comedy creation is no longer outrageously funny, but rather racist. So racist, in fact, according to the leftists, that you don't have a right to see the new Ali G movie in your cinema. chain. And indeed these lefters are going to stop at nothing to stop that from happening. This all came after Sasha Barron Cohen soft launched Ali G. writing on X in his character's voice. You know, check out the trailer for me new movie.
Starting point is 01:09:30 Ali G., who is it? I got enough sick tings, but you'll have to watch de whole about H.O. Ali film to find out if me actually died Mackinit, only indeed. seminars October 23rd. Although, as it turns out, they may not be in a number of cinemas on October the 23rd, because as Sasha Baron Cohen then added, in an age where a comedian's career can be ended by a single un-PC joke, I thought I'd play it safe and bring back this guy. So here is how he made the announcement. Yo, this be Ali G. Buryakasha
Starting point is 01:10:13 from the mean streets of Staines Ponder Thames Meigs got a big announcement Yo, DJ, drop the beat What you're gonna do The majority is on all Yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, Yo, walk up by a baby
Starting point is 01:10:29 On the tree top. Tomorrow, today My trailer will drop All the King's horses and all the King's men Will give the trailer Like a million marks out of ten, yo. Before that, with my own brain, keeping it real ear on the west side of Staines Pondettem. Respect.
Starting point is 01:10:49 Yeah, that was pretty good, isn't it? Ali G had earlier made a soft launch at Wimbledon going viral for trying to get close to Prince William and demanding that he was owed drug money from Prince Harry. Because to be honest, his brother, Prince Harry, it mulls me 1400 squid. because I was his dealer at Eton. So if you could ask him kindly to Venmo me or pay me in cash. But in 2026, you just know the woke mob cannot enjoy comedy. And in the same way that they have come after the likes of Ricky Javase and Katie Hopkins,
Starting point is 01:11:30 they are now targeting Sasha Baron Cohen with some success. With the mail reporting a day after the trailer's release, NewsCord, a UK news comparison and media monitoring platform, started a campaign urging cinemas around the world to refuse to screen the film. The campaign group have said they have emailed 15 major chains globally
Starting point is 01:11:54 with the request on behalf of those who register. As of Sunday, the campaigners report they have been instructed to send 41,000 emails. 41,000. Reports have suggested that the UK cinema chain Picture House had responded to the campaign and confirmed their outlets would not be screening the film. However, Variety, that's the Hollywood Trade Bible, has since reported that Picture House's email was a standard customer response to any release query about a film that hasn't yet been booked
Starting point is 01:12:24 by the company and didn't appear on its schedule with no decision yet made. Baron Cohen had teased the return of course in July. Now, the mainstream media campaign on this has been relentless. Jeremy Vine obviously found someone of colour without a sense of humour to join this council culture pile on. She's called Paulette Hamilton.
Starting point is 01:12:47 I've got to be honest, I find it offensive. I've not seen the movie, but I have seen the trailer. And I know he did an outing of this movie 23 years ago. But I do find it racist. I'll be honest with you, I think it's quite... They've stereotyped a particular race, and I do believe that they wouldn't
Starting point is 01:13:08 do it to many other racial groups. In fact, I can't think of another one that he would get away with doing it in this way. And I just think it's rude. I'm just not a fan. So Leo Curse, comedian Leo Curse, cancelled comedian Leo Curse. Is Sasha Barron Cohen's character, Ali G, about to join the Cancel Club? Or is this just good PR for the comeback? It's funny how when you bring something back from...
Starting point is 01:13:38 20 years ago. Like when Matt, David Williams and the other guy, the shows that they had, Little Britain. Oh, Matt Lucas, Little Britain, yeah. Matt Lucas. Yeah, when their show came back, you know, people were horrified. Because they did blackface in the full works.
Starting point is 01:13:54 Yeah, yeah. And to be honest, comedy is something that breaks down barriers between people and brings them together. You know, this idea that we've got to keep people separated and, you know, a white person or a Jewish person could never make fun of a black person. or a Muslim person because I don't really understand why.
Starting point is 01:14:12 I mean, black people are allowed to make fun of white people. Why can it only? It's sort of reinforcing. When people say that, it's sort of reinforcing the idea that we're all separate and that some people are better than others. So the good people better not make fun of the less fortunate people. That's what it feels like, you know, listening to these arguments. And also that woman who was on Jeremy Vine,
Starting point is 01:14:34 she was appropriating a lot of my culture. She was wearing a suit jacket. I don't think that's your traditional Namibian dress. And she was wearing glasses. I think she'll find those were invented in Europe. So, you know, I find it very offensive that she's appropriating aspects of my traditional tribal indigenous culture. And I hope that she's going to go to jail for a long time for doing so.
Starting point is 01:15:02 Leo, do you find Ali Chi personally funny? I mean, it's relevant, really. But are you a fan? Yeah, I mean, I think he's pretty funny. I think Sasha Baron Cohen is incredibly talented. I prefer Bruno and Borat. But, you know, that's probably because I grew up in Scotland, so I wasn't growing up around the people.
Starting point is 01:15:21 Because Sasha Baron Cohen himself says that, you know, he's not making fun of black culture. He's making fun of, you know, the white kids or the Jewish kids who appropriate black culture and get into rap and wear all the clothes and stuff. But, you know, I'm not sure how much I believe that. I think he's genuinely, I think he's genuinely just mocking the culture. So, you know, I didn't really recognize that culture growing up.
Starting point is 01:15:44 So maybe maybe it wasn't, maybe it wasn't as immediately funny to me. But yeah, I enjoyed his stuff on the 11 o'clock show back in that was in the 90s. That was where we first saw it. And then obviously had his own show. And, you know, Ali G does America. That was very, very, very funny. So, yeah, I'm looking forward. I'm looking forward to his new stuff.
Starting point is 01:16:06 Yeah, that's the thing. It's like some of them are great. Some of them misfire aren't as funny, but it's not the point is that he should be allowed to do it. And the fact that so immediately a major cinema chain just fires off an email back to what is a coordinated campaign is really disturbing to me. And obviously we saw it with the Katie Hopkins verdict
Starting point is 01:16:32 earlier in the week where this man was found guilty of black men. Maylene, numerous venues for trying to get her cancelled, it really struck me that I do wonder if something has to be done about these online campaigns too, Leo, because the fact that 41,000 emails and now being fired off to cinema chains, what they want to do is swamp people, don't they? It's almost like malicious communication in my view. And I feel quite strongly about this, given that I lost my job at GB News after a very similar campaign, which was led by Carol Vorderman, you know, crazy Vorders, who got a whole low, you know, I think it was something like 10,000 people or something like that, 9,000. I didn't have 41,000, but they did a coordinated
Starting point is 01:17:22 email bombardment of the off-communists that the UK government state regulator effectively to force me from my job at GB News. The point being, Leo, these digital campaigns, work. In my case, none of those people were actually viewers of GB News. None of them had watched the show in question. They had been told to partake in a digital campaign by Carol Vorderman. In this case, no one has seen the film. They don't care about the film, do they? They have no desire to even watch the film. They are just responding to a campaign. Yeah, and it's sort of rewarding that behavior when the cinema chain responds to it by saying, okay, yeah, we'll do whatever you want.
Starting point is 01:18:05 So, you know, anytime we're showing something you don't like, just remember to send 41,000 emails in and we'll do whatever you want. That's terrible. That's a terrible precedent to be setting. And, yeah, I mean, the Katie Hopkins result, I think is great. But that was a long
Starting point is 01:18:21 criminal case. And I think the guy obviously hadn't just sent off one email saying, I don't like this. I think this is racist. Please cancel it. He'd, you know, he'd done some very malicious and underhand things, which is, you know, why there's the criminal case around blackmail. But this sort of mob emailing is very worrying because it's so easy for somebody with the reach
Starting point is 01:18:49 of Carol Vorderman to orchestrate it and to encourage people to do it. And it's much easier to send an email than it is to actually, you know, get off your bum, put your shoes on and go and protest. I mean, at least if somebody's waving placards outside, a building, then they've left the house. You know, you can send an email with one click. It's so so easy. So, you know, I think maybe if people are sending emails, we don't need to take it that seriously. It's just some people trying to score some points because they're indoctrinating into whatever political view they've got. And Leo, the left are so hypocritical on these issues,
Starting point is 01:19:23 though, aren't they? Because they're totally fine with drag queens and trans. I mean, if you take the drag queen example, which is maybe even less controversial, it is a man dressing up as a woman, pretending to be a woman. Like a lot of women are offended by that. We don't say drag queen should be cancelled. Isn't it strange how some offence is just ignored and you're almost sneered at, you're castigated for getting offended, as women are if they get offended by a drag queen who is mocking their their femininity. But other types of offence must be taken as absolutely sacrosanct.
Starting point is 01:20:10 And if a black woman is on Jeremy Vine and is upset about Ali J, then that must be taken so seriously. And it's almost like a wholly missive. And why does some offense matter and some offense doesn't? There's no consistency. I think we need to get back to a sort of objective look at things. people get offended, who cares? It doesn't matter. You know, offense is something that's taken, not giving. Lots of people get offended about lots of things. Just grow up, get over yourself.
Starting point is 01:20:41 Maybe watch the film. It might be funny and you're overreacting. And just let people, if they want to watch the film, just let them buy a ticket and go and watch it. If they want to see Katie Hopkins, let them buy a ticket. If they want to see me, let them buy two tickets. I need the money. Three, four, five, exactly. Do you know, I've got my own little Sasha Baron Cohen's story. So I've always been a fan. But do you remember he's, did probably his most unsuccessful film. His least successful film was this film and it was called Brothers
Starting point is 01:21:10 Grimsby, no, it was called Grimsby and he played Norman basically like a crazed like English football fan and so in my former life as executive editor of the Sun he came in, I was editing the Vizier column and he sort of was this character and you know got me to drink beer and all of that type of thing And everyone had warned me, Leo, that he was like, what's it called when actors do that really weird thing?
Starting point is 01:21:38 I've totally lost the term. And they live as their character. Yeah. And so everyone warned me. Oh, no, no, he's a method actor. So you're not going to get to see any Sasha Baron Cohen. The whole time that you're with him, he is going to be this character of Norman. And honestly, Leo, that could not have been further from the truth.
Starting point is 01:21:59 like he was absolutely Sasha Baron Cohen we were chatting about his then wife, Ila Fisher and everything and he was actually such a great laugh and it made me like him
Starting point is 01:22:08 even more because I'm like actually he knew how crazy it was and how nutty the situation was and how he was here to promote a movie but he did not do that thing of like pretending to be the character the whole time so I was quite relieved by that
Starting point is 01:22:22 and that film I'm going to be honest it wasn't as good as his other ones but that's the point it doesn't matter like you're allowed to try some characters. Of course, no one had a problem with that character, did they, because it was a white man taking the piss out of working class white men. So there was
Starting point is 01:22:37 none of the controversy around it. Yeah, absolutely. So some people, you're allowed to mock. And nobody can say that, you know, white working class men, they have it so easy. So, you know, of course they need to be taken down a peg. It's like, no, white working class men are considered, you know,
Starting point is 01:22:53 they have the toughest time of anybody in society. Nobody's giving them legs up. There's no diversity and inclusion coordinators making sure there's enough white working class men represented anywhere. You know, if there was, I might get on the BBC. But, you know,
Starting point is 01:23:08 that doesn't happen. Actually, I saw Grimsby as well. I saw it in the cinema and I thought it was, I mean, I know what you mean, it's not as good as best work, but there's some absolutely laugh out loud moments. Like when he hid inside an elephant's vagina, but then the other elephant had tried to mate with the
Starting point is 01:23:27 elephant he was hiding in. that man, that was, I mean, I've never seen a scene like that in any other film. No, and you probably never will. Certainly not these days. Let's get to some of your comments because there's a lot coming in specifically on Ali G. Mugh Mug says, not a fan of Ali G, but I will be buying whatever he is selling. We need a laugh. Robert Raborable says it's not important if we like Ali G. He has a right to make a living. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:23:54 Tim OGB says people are missing the point of Ali G. He is mocking white suburban lads who think they are. a black gangsters in LA. He isn't mocking black people, of course, but they can't get it. They're too stupid to get it exactly, that actually he is mocking white people. Second half of life 777 says, it's insane how everything is racist. They are taking the actual meaning away from the word. Lee Ho 9VJ says you can't say he is not funny. You can say you don't find him funny. And Slim XX says let him do what he wants. You don't need to watch it. Also lots of support for Katie Hopkins, two, one love, triple three, double three saying God bless Katie Hopkins,
Starting point is 01:24:33 MSS 660, saying we will not let Katie be cancelled again. Then thank you for your superchats on the Notting Hill Carnival. Lee Lee, 1962, says, not in my name, Carnival. Absolutely. Steve Wells, 696 says, so the residents have to board up their properties like a category five hurricane has landed and the MSM tells us this is a celebration. I don't think so, mate. J. Vicks Lyrical says I would certainly feel safer at Unite the Kingdom the Notting Hill any day of the week.
Starting point is 01:25:04 And then on the Restore Britain issue and this decision by all a mini Hayne to leave the party, Surulian Sword says on the super chat, I completely understand that there needs to be a compromise in a political party. However, Restore Britain needs to pick a lane and be clear about it. Is it ethno-nationalist or civic? It cannot be both. Junger Hart 1036 is get ethno-nationalists out of restore. They can't build a national base unless they do. Middle England just won't go for it. And Joyce Marston 469. And I totally agree with this. Joyce says, I don't think we have much time now. I believe Andy Vermon. Oh, I like that. Andy Vermin, giving me some ideas. I need a nickname. I need a good nickname. We'll call a snap election very soon. The right, if they're going to unite, need to do. it soon. Okay, thank you so much for all of your comments today and superchats, a reminder of our
Starting point is 01:26:01 union jackass nominees. Leo nominated Yannette in Yahoo for saying the Falklands belonged to Argentina, slippery Stama, for the hypocrisy of jetting off overseas for a new job after criticizing Rishi Sun for doing the exact same thing. And I nominated David Yelland, the former editor of the Sun, but mistaken James Cleverly and quasi-Quatang. And look, it wasn't even close. Today, in third place with 12% of the vote. David Yeland, the runner-up with 16% of the vote. Yeah, Netanyahu.
Starting point is 01:26:30 But Leo, you're the winner with slippery Starma taking 72% of the vote. We still hate him for very good reason. Leo, who is your greatest Britain today? My greatest Britain is Katie Hopkins for standing up in the face of cancel culture
Starting point is 01:26:45 and prevailing. And, you know, that criminal case really, you know, sets a line in the sand. plants a flag in the sand for all comedians and artists. Absolutely.
