Starting point is 00:02:21 following a barbaric 24 hours in custody, which has this afternoon resulted in a charge which could see her jailed a charge from the out-of-control Essex police. Then Father Ted creator, Graham Linehan, was arrested by five armed police officers after flying into Heathrow Airport where he ended up in hospital because of the stress of being treated like a terrorist. His supposed crime? These three tweets about the trans issue.
Starting point is 00:02:57 The Deep State has now banned him from posting on X altogether. So in my digesting ex-house Slippre Starmer's authoritarian government is destroying our right to free speech to try and save his failing regime.

Also coming up on the show today, Slippery Stama is the new David Brent as the country falls the hapless Prime Minister and delusional Chancellor Rachel from accounts are stuck with pathetic gimmicks. We're going to tear them apart. and J.K. Rowling's new Harry Potter war over trans rights, of course, is revealed as her husband finally snaps. Then we're going to move to Substack for the Royal Uncanceled After Show,
Starting point is 00:04:07 where Megan Markel's desperate attempt to save her Netflix career, sadly involves pimping out of children on social media yet again. The latest stunt, however, has massively backfired. We're going to reveal why with our Royal Mastermind Angela Levin. And at the end of the the show today will also reveal today's greatest Britain and Union Jackass. Here are your nominees. You can vote for the worst Britain in the world today in the live chat on YouTube. Paloma Foth, Faith, excuse me, nominated by Chaos Bite. She has been named by the Guardian as one of the UK's most prominent women standing up for immigration. I'll get into that in my digest. Bridget Philipson, nominated by Real Mick Cass, tweeting, signing off full of prize.
Starting point is 00:04:51 after a busy first day back at the Department of Education, he says morally, morality compass completely broken here. It's definitely the labour way. So how the hell can one feel pride after that disgusting betrayal of the British people? And Ed Miliband, nominated by Torrapani, who says wind farms are being built with full knowledge that the bulk of their output cannot be used. So three choices, one from the world of cult pop. culture, two from this despicable, slippery, Starma government. The choice is yours. Get voting. Let me know your comments. I'll read out the best at the end of the show. But now, let's go. On the M3, Patriots have hung a sign alongside a picture of the St. George's flag, which reads,
Starting point is 00:05:46 Charles, do your job, fire these traitors. Now, while I'm a big believer in the monarchy actually staying out of politics, something our current king, let's be honest, has struggled with in the past, the popularity of that message, which has now gone viral, is a sign of just how dystopian times are in our disunited kingdom. Under Sipri Stama, trust me, mark my words, we have become an ordinary. authoritarian state, where dissent is met with a crackdown by authorities, often authorities directed by the government, and then there's total silence from the Westminster establishment and regime media. What the hell else can explain Graham Linnehan, the legendary Father Ted
Starting point is 00:06:34 creator, being met off a plane at Heathrow overnight by five armed police officers who immediately arrested him, treated him like a terrorist for three anodyne tweets about the trans battle. I'm not even joking, and I've got much more on that breaking story shortly. But first to our Essex political prisoners, Essex, which I have described as ground zero, of the migrant uprising, where the leaders of the peaceful campaign at the Bell Hotel in Epe, were both taken out in a matter of minutes by increasingly violent police officers who were suspected of purposefully plotting to spark violence. Now, within minutes of delivering an inspiring speech, the leader of the Essex Mums, Sarah White of Reform UK, there she is, was brutally and
Starting point is 00:07:25 violently arrested after unfurling a Union Jack flag on the Epping Council building. We assert our fundamental right to protest peacefully, a right woven into the fabric of our history. From the peasants' revolt started in Essex to Peterloo, Manchester, the people of Essex once repelled a Napoleonic invasion. As an English town, we declare that we will not consent to governance that endangers our communities in response to the misinformation and propaganda, decimated by the British Broadcasting Corporation and others. We refuse to pay the television license fee. However, we will not pay council tax.
Starting point is 00:08:21 As non-payment of taxes has long been a legitimate form of protest in our land. We call upon English people to join us in this peaceful stand. It looks like the police are trying to cause a scene. Look at that! Look what they're doing! Look what the police are doing! What are they doing? What are the police doing here?
Starting point is 00:08:55 She's a woman raised to move down the stairs. It's not safe on these stairs. She's a woman. What are they doing? Just for the partners, guys. Have a look at this. Just awful. Shearai was taken into custody for over 24 hours after that ludicrous overreach,
Starting point is 00:09:22 which was described on X as crazy by the world's richest and most powerful man, Elon Musk. As her partner, on this epine act, Aula Minnie Hayne, who the police were also hunting down on Sunday, and our guest on today's Superstar panel, by the way, as she put it, tonight, my dear friend Sarah, was arrested. Her crime holding a Union Jack flag outside the Epine Forest Council officers. Four police men wrestled her to the ground with such force and aggression that women and children were screaming and crying watching on. She was handcuffed and thrown into the back of a meat wagon. Sarah is five foot three and weighs seven stone. Never in my life have I witnessed anything as
Starting point is 00:10:13 horrific. She's now on a police cell and I'm on my way to tell her children that their mom is in police custody for holding our country's flag. This is another sad day for this country. Well, I have to be honest, this sad day just got a whole lot worse. because I can reveal after speaking to Sarah overnight that she has now been released, battered and bruised. She's on bail until the 15th of October, having said her arm was nearly broken and she is considering legal action against the Essex police. But in a significant blow, in a crazy decision, the police have now charged her for failing to comply, meaning that she is facing up to three months in prison. And you can guess what's next.
Starting point is 00:11:01 You can just imagine what's next. Her bail conditions. Alongside those of the fellow Epping male leader arrested Kalambaka mean that she cannot go to the council officers, she cannot go to the Phoenix Hotel, and she cannot go to the Bell Hotel in Epping. In other words, this arrest for show has meant Sarah's descent has been crushed.
Starting point is 00:11:26 The Epping leader has been taken out and is facing criminal prosecution. It serves as a warning to all the other patriots in Essex. But just like Lucy Connolly before her, I believe the police have now created a martyr in this Essex political prisoner who is actually just an ordinary mum. After her release last night, Sarah posts on X, I've been released everyone. What an ordeal was manhandled, absolute disgrace, all for proudly flying our national flag. I replied a total disgrace, but you are now a national. hero. And Tommy Robinson added, the lady who was arrested by Stama's regime in Epping
Starting point is 00:12:06 yesterday for the crime of flying the union flag has been released. It appears that they kept her in the full 24 hours, absolute abuse of power, to tear on display for all to see. Now, the Essex police are in full on damage control mode today, claiming we were in Epping tonight to facilitate a process. Three people were arrested. One arrest of a woman was filmed. She was not arrested for flying a union jack. She was arrested on suspicion of breaching a Section 14 order because the Civic Centre was outside the protest area. But as Alison Pearson, who also found herself on the wrong side of the Essex Police Force for a post on X put it,
Starting point is 00:12:54 do you realise how much people despise you? Essex police were looking for any excuse to intimidate people out of. of exercising their lawful right to protest. You held Sarah for 24 hours for trespass. Chilly. Essex Police acted in a grotesquely heavy-handed manner. Sarah placed a union jack on the front of a council building. What law had she broken?
Starting point is 00:13:16 Police just looking for an excuse to intimidate protesters. Now, you'll remember that is very much Tommy Robinson's theory. I'm currently trying to provoke the British public into violent reactions. There can be no other explanation for what they're doing, what they've done at Epping. I've seen videos this weekend of women being attacked, of young children being pepper-sprayed. I'm seeing pure provocation from police forces, which I'd say is totally intentional. Because they want to build this country up into a violent reaction so they can de-legitimize your concerns and your fears. Right now, we, as a movement, as people, from Epping to Canary Wharf to all over the country to Norwich,
Starting point is 00:14:01 you up until now are winning the hearts and minds of the British public who are sick to death of the betrayal of our country and people. You're winning the hearts and minds that will turn like that and they're trying to turn it like that. Do not let them be successful. Now I have to admit, looking at much of the police action over the weekend, I believe it is impossible to deny that there has been a clear change in strategy. Just watch this.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Leave him. You're dirty, back. You're pushing up. You're dirty fucking pig. You're pushing a man in front. You dirty fucking things. And in a better journalist, Martin Gouchy posted these pictures, which he says are the marks left by the Essex police after Jimmy Hilliard was arrested at Friday's protests in Epping. They were violent scenes that I showed you on yesterday's show. In response, patriarchalic barrister Stephen Barrett raged 24 hours in prison or trespassing. Our police have become oppressive thugs. We need to fix ourselves this isn't right or ain't right.
Starting point is 00:15:22 And James McCafferty added, New Deep State Police Strategy, arrest leading figures in the migrant hotels, protests for minor technical issues, and then impose bail conditions, which include barring them from attending protests. This is full on CCP, but that is exactly what's happened. Exactly what's happened in the case of Sarah White. Then Zuma issued this challenge. He said, you all stood with Lucy Connolly when she went down for some absolute nonsense.
Starting point is 00:15:55 Are you brave enough to do so for the lion of? of Epping, justice for Kalambaka, political martyr, hero, patriot. Well, I say, hell, yes, we are. Yes, we will stand with these patriots because we have had enough, and we must never forget. Why this anger started in Epping, started in Essex, ground zero of this uprising. It was because our girls are no longer safe on their high streets, which is why when we see headlines like this on the front page of the regime media, for example, the metro today, and illegal migrants saying here be safer on the streets of Somalia, unfortunately, we now think, okay, then please go there, because we need our country back.
Starting point is 00:16:40 It is also why we dismiss the prominent UK women telling right wingers and the Guardian today to stop linking immigration to sexual abuse, because these celebrities clearly haven't looked at the most basic of crime statistics. Signatories include the musicians Paloma Faith and Charlotte Church, as well as the MPs, Diane Abbott and Zara Solana. They say we reject the far rights racist lies about protecting women and girls. They are not defenders of women. They exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division. But here's the reality. We no longer trust the liberal elite or the MSM telling us to stop wearing our little heads because everything is just dandy when we know from our own lives that it is simply not.
Starting point is 00:17:29 So we're not going to listen to people like Andrew Ma. So much hate. So much despair. And what I want to say is that all this is not in general bad or wicked people trying to turn us against one another. No, this is what the algorithms are designed for. Social media is selling ringside seats for a carnival of hatred, a spectacle designed to tear us all apart.
Starting point is 00:17:54 And my plea is, don't let's fall for this. Personally, I think that if Labour doesn't solve the migration crisis, it'll be turfed out at the next election. Simple as that. But if you put away social media and you walk out into the streets and you look at actual, real, three-dimensional people, they mostly smile back at you. And if you look around you, you don't hear much screaming or you don't see a collapsing country. You see perfectly decent, ordinary people rubbing along, getting on with their lives and inclined, by and large, to rather like each other. No, that is Britain. That is the real us. Let us not be fooled. Ma is delusional. Mar is out of touch. So we now take our lead from Katie Hopkins on this issue, not LBC.
Starting point is 00:18:43 Judges have decided that the rights of illegals outweigh the rights of British nationals who are paying for the illegals to be here. Do remember good people that just because someone has a fancy dress on, be that a judge, or a doctor or a policeman, doesn't mean they have more true power than you do. It's great to see so many people raising the flag and taking to the streets. No doubt I'll be seeing you very soon. Indeed, campaigner Eva Vladenbrook, summed up overnight in the most stark terms, the perilous challenge now facing all of you. It has genuinely been difficult to keep track of the number of European boys and girls
Starting point is 00:19:25 who were assaulted, raped, and or murdered by immigrants on our soil in just these past few weeks alone. But now finally, the world seems to be waking up to the fact that we Europeans have been replaced, sold out, and betrayed by our own governments. Because as a result of their open border policies of mass migration, we are no longer safe and no longer at home in our own homelands. I was born in 1996, but I have never gotten to enjoy the Europe of my great-grandparents, my grandparents, or even that of my parents. Because they did not have to be afraid about sending their kids out to play at a park. They did not have to be afraid about biking back home at night. They did not have to be afraid about taking public transport.
Starting point is 00:20:11 They did not have to be afraid in general of being raped and or murdered by immigrants in the public sphere. That was not normal then. It is not normal now, but it is common. And that has to change. The fact that we never got to know that Europe doesn't mean we don't have a right to it. Because being at home in your own country and being safe in your own country is not a privilege. It is your right. And therefore, I claim my country back.
Starting point is 00:20:42 We Europeans have to claim our countries back. I was born in 1996 and I am part of generation remigration. and I hope so are you. The Overton window is shifting. There is nothing our failed government can do as the Daily Mail's front page reporting on the absolute failure of Yvette Cooper's attempt to smash the gangs proves. Stephen Miller, ask quite an obvious question on XIstay.
Starting point is 00:21:16 Is it fair to say the UK is being invaded? Prompting Elon Musk to reply? obviously. But we have police forces, literally far more interested in stopping offensive tweets than smashing the gangs. Because today's arrest of the council father Ted legend Graham Linnehan has proven to be the final straw for many. J.K. Rowley posted what the fuck has the UK become? This is totalitarianism, utterly deplorable. And Elon Musk's verdict was simple. but true, police state. Now you'll remember, Graham Linehan has alongside Katie Hopkins and Tommy Robinson, in my view, been one of the most unfairly cancelled people in all of the United Kingdom.
Starting point is 00:22:04 I've got to know the guy pretty well during my time at GB News. He regularly appeared on my show there. I liked him very much, but my God, he was damaged by what the state did to him. His thought crime, by the way, simply believing men cannot become women. So why has he been arrested? Let's just go through. Let's just be very, very clear and honest about this. Here are his three tweets. One said, I hate them, misogynists and homophodes.
Starting point is 00:22:34 Fuck him. Another alongside an image said, a photo you can smell. And then this seems to be the biggest issue, this third tweet, where he said, If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent abusive act. Make a scene called the cops, and of all else fails, punch him in the balls. Now, those tweets prompted a major police operation
Starting point is 00:23:04 at Heathrow Airport overnight. Graham Linnehan has revealed his story on Substact today because check this out, and you'll see there are links to our Essex political prisoners. He is now banned on X by the deep state. So this is what he wrote on Substak, where he is not banned. I just got arrested again. I arrived back in London to discover the UK is still a police state run by trans activists.
Starting point is 00:23:31 And the details here are chilling. Graham Linahan writes, the moment I stepped off the plane at Heathrow, five armed police officers were waiting. Not one, not two, five. They escorted me to a private area and told me I was under arrest for three tweets. In a country where paedophiles escape sentencing, where knife crime is out of control, where women are assaulted and harassed every time they gather to speak,
Starting point is 00:23:57 the state had mobilized five armed officers to arrest a comedy writer for this tweet, and no, I promise you, I am not making this up. At Heathrow Police Station, my belt, bag and devices were confiscated. Then I was shown into a small green-tiled, with a bunk, a silver toilet in the corner, and a message from crime stoppers on the ceiling next to a concave mirror that was presumably there to make you reflect on your life choices. Then in the police interview, the officer mentioned, quote, trans people. Graham Lineham wrote, I asked him what he meant by the phrase.
Starting point is 00:24:34 People who feel their gender is different than what was assigned at birth. I said assigned at birth, how sex isn't assigned. He called it semantics. I told him he was using activist language. The damage Stonewall has done to the UK police force will take years to mend. Eventually a nurse came to check on me and found my blood pressure was over 200, stroke territory. The stress of being arrested for jokes was literally threatening my life. So I was escorted to A&E where I write this now after spending about eight hours under observation.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I looked at the single bail condition. I am not allowed to go on Twitter. That's it, no threats, no speeches about the seriousness of my crimes, just a legal gag order designed to shut me up while I'm in the UK and a demand I face a further interview in October. The civility of individual officers doesn't alter the fundamental reality of what happened. I was arrested at an airport like a terrorist, locked in a cell like a criminal, taken to hospital because the stress nearly killed.
Starting point is 00:25:40 killed me and banned from speaking online, all because I made jokes that upset some psychotic cross-dresses. To me, this proves one thing beyond doubt. The UK has become a country that is hostile to freedom of speech, hostile to women, and far to accommodating to the demands of violent, entitled, abuse of men who have turned the police into their personal goon squad. And I mean, this story is literally going around the world as we speak. The former Prime Minister, Liz Truss, posting on X, this is absolutely shocking. This constant attempt to silence Britain's and suppress information is worthy of a totalitarian state.
Starting point is 00:26:26 The counter-revolution can't come soon enough. That from a former Prime Minister of this country. But she is right. The UK is in deep trouble. Slippery Stama lied to Donald Trump and J.D. Vance about free speech. And what is happening now is intolerable. Let me bring in today's superstar panel. And two perfect guests on this very big news day, Bernie Spofforth is a businesswoman.
Starting point is 00:26:59 She is behind the If This Is True channel on YouTube. was also arrested just last year, just like Graham Linehan, for a singular post on X. And Orla Minnehane is one of the leaders of the Epping Rebellion who was there on Sunday alongside Sarah White. So look, two big pieces of breaking news. Alla, welcome to outspoken. Let's kick off with what we have just heard, just breaking this afternoon, Sarah has been charged. She is facing jail. Can you believe this? No, I cannot believe it. Dan, thanks so much for having me on, first of all. You know, if I could explain to you how, you know, they've made it out that she's made this horrific, she's done this horrific crime and she's broken this rule and she was, you know, she ran and ran
Starting point is 00:27:59 at the stairs in an aggressive manner. Let me explain to you how it, how it sort of happened. We were walking down, and I've spoken to you about this earlier, the aggression and the atmosphere early on in the evening was potent. You could feel it in the air, you know. Something had changed. Yeah, five police forces in riot gear, really angry. You know, they were all dead behind the eyes, that kind of, we're coming for you. Any of you step out of line kind of feel so much so that some elderly people were there and they said to me, oh, if something doesn't feel right tonight, it doesn't feel jovial, it doesn't feel community, it feels aggressive. So I said to a lot of the guys, look, don't step out of line, masks off,
Starting point is 00:28:43 you know, there were no masks anyway, but, you know, let's all keep to the plan, let's do what the police say. So there was about 1,500 people and we walked down to the offices and everyone was behaving themselves, cars were beeping, flags were away. and it was all fine. And then Sarah, as we've gone towards the civic office, or to the council offices, everybody's moved across the road to go onto the grass. And in a jovial fun way, she's only little, she's fun, she's bubbly, she ran up the stairs and put the flag over. You know, nothing sinister, nothing, you know, untoward, just, you know, a bit of fun almost. Just here's the flag guys and everyone was cheering. That was it. Now, this nonsense about the section 14 or whatever,
Starting point is 00:29:27 it is, you know, they didn't announce any sections. And even if they had, you can't hear them because they're on a loudspeaker and there's 1,500 people. And to most men and women and people there, they don't know what these sections mean, section 14, section 30. None of us are political, you know, professional protesters. We're just people, local people. So they could have announced it, which I don't think they did, but had they announced it, nobody would know what it meant anyway. And where she's gone up the stairs, it was literally beside the pavement where we were all standing anyway. So, but I think that the thing that shocked us the most is the aggression, Dan, the aggression, the anger. Well, something had changed. Yeah. Something had changed. And it seems to be
Starting point is 00:30:16 a nationwide thing because, of course, there'd been the pepper spray incident at Canary War earlier in the day. Which we'd heard. Yeah. But you were incredibly shaken up. all of the good reason, because you were also under the belief that the police were hunting you down toot. This is what happened straight after the arrest. Watch this. Sarah's obviously been arrested, apparently, for inciting violence by standing with a union jack. I just don't understand it. And I just, I can't believe the violence and the aggression that they arrested her with. I've just never seen anything like it. And the irony that we are standing outside a hotel protesting about, women and children and violence towards women and children and our very own police
Starting point is 00:30:59 take five foot three mother and drag her down the stairs four of them in riot gear i've never seen anything like it i'm beyond shocked and then i heard them say where's the other one which obviously meant me so i just got out of the area um i'm in shock and she's got kids at home she's a single mom i don't even know why do you think they just wouldn't there stand there with a flag and perhaps block other people coming up to her they wanted they wanted to they wanted to arrest someone tonight they wanted to arrest people they arrested her and callum calum did nothing they wanted to they wanted to have they wanted to arrest someone to make an example of her and it's like lucy connolly all over again right you think is and all of that is now
Starting point is 00:31:39 what has happened your your comments your chilling comments immediately after the arrest have proven to be true because just like lucy connolly she has been rushed through the judicial process she has already been charged. Her court date is next month. It's almost like the authorities are trying to send a message to people like you stop the protests. So what are you going to do? So, I mean, just just looking at that video, I felt really emotional looking at it because I was so shot down. You know, I've never had anything to do with the police in the past. I've never had the only interaction is once when they pulled me over for speeding. You know, that's, that's it. I've never had any interaction. I've always had this vision or this view that the police were there to protect us and
Starting point is 00:32:25 they were good guys. So when I saw the brutality that night and what they did to her and then how they treated Callum, I was just, I was almost gobsmacked and I started crying with like shock. And then they said, go and get the other one. Where's the other one? And I was just like, what me? What, what have I done? And Sarah's, Sarah's, you know, a ballsy little thing. She's, she has taken it all very, very well. I would have died if that happened to me. She's so brave, but she shouldn't have to be brave. So since then, she's been charged. She's got to go on the 15th of October, I think, it is.
Starting point is 00:33:01 I mean, it's just barbaric. The whole thing is utterly ridiculous. Is she devastated? No, she's not. She's not because she's, you know, she's done nothing wrong. I haven't spoken to her about that, so I can't comment on the legal stance, but Sarah will not be put down by anyone. You know, she has got, she's got, she's,
Starting point is 00:33:21 got balls of steel. And afterwards, I spoke to her last night. And I said, oh, my God, are you all right? And she said, yeah, I'm fine. You know, she's got bruises on her arm where they handcuffed her. She's going to go on GB News tonight and talk to them and give an interview about what happened. But, you know, she, we spoke last night. And I said to her, Sarah, what are we going to do? Like, what do we do? And she said, well, what do you want to do? And I said, but we can't let them shut us up. We can't let everybody down because they're trying to take us down. They've her down they're trying to set calum down there's a couple of others they want us to be silent they want us to be quiet why should we be quiet why should we say okay we're going to let you intimidate us
Starting point is 00:34:02 and if you intimidate us enough everybody else will be intimidated and then we'll all sit back and be good people and do what we're told and you can do what you want government do you know what no it's not going to happen because we've done nothing wrong none of us have done anything wrong we have been absolutely, you know, on the money with our behaviour. There's been a few incidents here and there with, you know, some wayward boys. That happens. You know, that's down to them. But in general, the behaviour and the attitude of the people of Epping has been exemplary.
Starting point is 00:34:32 And all we want is the government to take responsibility to make sure that these men, well, they shouldn't be allowed to come here anyway. And let's be clear, you know, the borders are still bloody open and they're open and five, six hundred is still coming away. Invasion happens every day. Every day. Every damn day. And no one talks about that.
Starting point is 00:34:54 But they can immediately crack down on a single mother for unfurling the union jack flag. It's insane. And I do want to talk about what's happened in Epping this summer and much more detail in just one moment. But first, Bernie, I've got to ask you about the Graham Linnahan arrest because I imagine this must bring back some truly horrific. tremendous feelings for you that the cases burning are like airily similar okay you weren't arriving at an airport you were at home but you still had five police turn up in paddy wagons you were treated like a terrorist you were held for far longer than graham linnahan actually i think it was 72 hours in custody for a post on x for a tweet this is still happening Bernie
Starting point is 00:35:43 Yeah, it is still happening. And I thought that what had happened to me was alarmingly unusual and very unfair. And perhaps this kind of thing wouldn't happen anymore because it got so much coverage. And it was quite obviously utterly over the top. But it hasn't. It's continued. And I think to me, what I think's happening is this pinster movement of legislation and action from the government that says, okay, we can't solve the problem. So what we're going to do is just
Starting point is 00:36:21 shut you up talking about it. We're going to make examples of certain people to terrify you into not opening your mouth. And if you look at what's happened with Graham, it's completely over the top, as it was with Tommy Robinson, regardless of your opinion on him, to arrive at an airport and arrest somebody exhausted after a flight right it's incredibly wrong and then to take a man like graham throw him in a cell like me and also graham now also knows you can't drown yourself in the toilet because the flush button is much higher than the toilet and there's no water in the bowl i know that because i did think about that for 36 hours um and of course he was stressed and And what people don't realize, and I know all that you say Sarah isn't distressed, she's got balls of seal.
Starting point is 00:37:18 I'm telling you now, she is absolutely distraught because along with the fear, the uncertainty, you've never been in trouble with the police before. I, like you, would always have told my children, find a policeman, find a police person, they will look after you. I have never, ever. experienced what I experienced and that Sarah has just experienced and Graham's experienced and 30 people a day experience in this country for not breaking any law. Now, there's no ignorance under the law in the UK, but the interesting thing is about these speech laws
Starting point is 00:38:01 is that they're incredibly vague. So what happened to Graham is, and I know what will have happened to him, people have phoned the police to complain. they've said they feel he's been hostile, he's been unkind, they feel distressed. And that is enough. It's enough to get you arrested. And what they've done with him is as a warning to everybody else is shut up. And they've taken him off X.
Starting point is 00:38:31 With me, I was banned from any social media for five weeks. 100%. Which at a very, very perilous time for the... government took your voice away. And actually, Bernie, what's interesting, and this backs up what you're saying is Toby Young, who is the boss of the Free Speech Union, has posted in the past half an hour, saying that the Met Police have said that Graham Linehan was arrested under suspicion of having committed an offence under S3A of the Public Order Act. Now, that is about stirring up religious hatred or hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation. But as
Starting point is 00:39:10 Toby Young says Graham Linahan cannot possibly be guilty of this offence since it makes no reference to transgender status and all three of the tweets, police question him about, referred to trans rights activists. So the point being, what they've done is they've scared him, they've shut him up, and for the moment he's off X, and this sends a message. But what actually has happened is that there is a message being sent around the world that the UK is a totalitarian state. Epi and Essex will not be silenced, though. And I have described the migrant hotel uprising in this brilliant part of the country as ground zero of what has become a wider summer uprising and awakening of the British people. And what has inspired me so much as it's not been one that
Starting point is 00:40:00 has been driven by the regime media, but rather citizen journalists, the independent media, the ground who actually are proving that we can take back our country without relying on the usual channels. And in developing news today, the Epping Forest District Council has submitted an application to the Court of Appeal seeking permission to appeal Friday Court of Appeal judgment to the Supreme Court. Meanwhile, Richard Tice of Reform UK is saying that this is going to spread across the country with Reform's West Northamptonshire Council taking its first steps towards planning action over asylum hotels. He says this is an example of reform at work. And what has been incredible to see all summer long is just the numbers. And actually, if we roll this video, this is from
Starting point is 00:40:53 Sunday, right? And this video from Jack Hadfield, who has been one of the incredible independent journalists on the ground is awe-inspiring because you won't see it in the mainstream media. You will not see it in the regime media. And it goes on and on and on. And it shows who is really protesting about what's going on. Ordinary patriots of all races, proudly showing their faces, many dressed in pink, many taking their young children. And the idea that you have these complete fools on the left of this country, including Andrew Marr on LBC, trying to lament that these people, these patriots and epi, in some way are racist, far-right thugs. Well, not only are they liars, but they are losing the argument. And I want to go back to my superstar panel now.
Starting point is 00:41:52 and all of many haines has been at the heart of epine all summer long as this has become a national uprising and first thing i just want to congratulate you because what you have done is change the discussion is prove that peaceful non-violent community-driven protests can change a country because i do believe this epine uprising has changed a country but it must infuriate you. When you see the faces that are there, you see how the locals are there, but then you are derided by the left in this country, by the establishment media, as far-right racist thugs. I know. It's heartbreaking, really, because, you know, and I did a, I did a stupidly, stupidly did an interview with the BBC because I thought they rang me and said to me, they wanted to
Starting point is 00:42:47 do, they wanted to cover the other side and they'd really like to speak to me and nobody wanted to speak to them and I trusted them like an idiot and they completely turned the whole the whole interview around and they said on the first paragraph, Orla says Epping is white. I didn't say that at all. I didn't say that at all. I said Epping happens to be quite a white British town. That doesn't mean that there isn't Asian people. That doesn't mean there isn't black people. There isn't people of all different colours, who have all been at the protests. They just happened to print that one thing that I said, and that came on the back of, they said to me, how do you know that these men are hanging around the street? How do you know their migrants? How do you know that the ones
Starting point is 00:43:32 that are going to the Tesco into Marx and Spencer's and the ones that are shouting at women and trying to grab young girls and bring them into bushes? How do you know their migrants? And I said, because they're all African descent, they're all smoking, they're all wearing track suits they've got hoods up they're all hanging around in groups they're intimidating they don't speak english they shout in foreign languages so that's sort of why that's where we know that they're the ones from the hotel they twisted the whole interview around and made me look like an absolute racist pig which i'm categorically not neither is anybody who is out at those protests and you know what i'm looking at those photos and those people six seven weeks ago i didn't know
Starting point is 00:44:13 And now I know them by name, I know their families, I know who they are, I know what they do, I know their businesses. And let me tell you, none of them, none of them are racists. They are patriots who love their country, they love the people of this country, whether they're black, white or green. They don't care. They just want to go back to how it was when we could let our kids go to school without being sexually assaulted, grabbed, shouted at, you know, pulled into bushes,
Starting point is 00:44:43 Sputter. It's just, it's just not always to me. Because people forget that it is this story, which is currently before the court. So, of course, we have to be careful. But it was this very real world story of a 14-year-old girl allegedly being attacked by a so-called asylum seeker, who, let's be honest, was an illegal migrant who had been in the country for eight days, this man. And that was the tipping point. but he's not the only one. I mean, look at this footage that actually was posted on an Instagram account by a resident inside the Bell Hotel. And he was actually shooting footage of the people protesting outside the Bell Hotel, outside his window. So this is his, I think it's maybe
Starting point is 00:45:36 Snapchat actually, but whatever social media accounted it. So that's him posting the protesters, but then you go down and you look at this guy's social media account. And it is full of guns. It's full of activity that if it was taking place in our country would absolutely be criminal. And he is just one of hundreds in the Bell Hotel. And then you go out on a macro level and you look at the fact that he's one of tens of thousands. Yeah. Yeah. And you know, look at that. at that video. So you've got 500 police in riot gear all down Epping High Street and all the surrounding streets coming after Sarah, a little girl, a little girl, she's not a girl, but a little lady who's just waving a flag and you've got that animal in the hotel hosting
Starting point is 00:46:29 pictures of guns. And we're expected to say, oh, that's okay. We'll just let our little girls walk to school and our little boys walk to school past the Bell Hotel or our little kids go to the primary schools that are across the road. They'll be all right. I mean, and what infuriates me is this, you know, the way that our concerns and our anger is completely disregarded by this government and you're a far right racist. You're a far right racist, aller, because you have got an issue with a man that's in a hotel who can walk around day and night because there's no curfew on these men. They're in the town, they're over the road, they're outside the school. We've got, you've got an issue with them and we've got video reference that he's got on his
Starting point is 00:47:14 Instagram or his chat, whatever it is, that the man has got, I was handled ammunition and guns in whatever hellhole he came from. And he's now being put up, three meals a day, everything he wants, free to roam around our town with our kids and our women and we are far right racists. I mean, can you believe it? It's like some nightmare film. But the Overton window, thanks to you, And thanks to the good people of Essex. And by the way, I always knew it would be the people of Essex who did it. I've said it on the show all summer long.
Starting point is 00:47:48 My mum is Essex born. I'm very, very fond of Essex. I knew it would be Essex where this uprising really took hold because Essex folk don't give up. And that's the thing. You haven't given up all summer long. You haven't got bored. It hasn't just been a fad.
Starting point is 00:48:03 But Bernie, what is fascinating is because of Essex, because of the uprising in Essex, the world's most powerful man. the world's richest man, the man who really gave the world back the concept of free speech on social media. He has become completely obsessed. And I mean, even in the past few moments, he has posted a new ex saying the rape of Britain and he is now dropping a white feather. This is something that he hopes to become a social media trend and I'm sure given it's Elon Musk at will. And he says, remember to drop a white feather and then he's posted. a white feather emoji for the cowards who failed to stop this.
Starting point is 00:48:45 He also, Bernie, in another post, has said that the people of the great nations of Britain and Ireland must rally now to save your beautiful countries. It's now or never, fight, fight, fight, soon it will be too late. He's also, Bernie mentioned Epping specifically, saying, what can I do to help when the residents of Epping quite literally asked for his help. How much has the involvement of Elon Musk changed the game when it comes to Epping? I think the involvement of, I view this in two ways. I'm not overly massively keen in foreign interference in elections. I'm not massively keen on that. But if any country needed help right now, it's Britain. Because people can be brave,
Starting point is 00:49:44 but I know what's going to happen. And Orla mentioned it in that she felt the atmosphere had changed at that protest. The atmosphere needed to change at the protest. Because the government won't change their policy, then they need to stop the protests. And that's what they're going to try and do. I think Elon has to understand that the legislation is so wide and so vague that people can be scooped up en masse. So when he says fight back, as the people of Epping did, and by the way, I think you're wrong. I thought it would be Liverpool. I thought Liverpool, when you have had enough, right, the whole country will change. I don't know what they're just behind, just behind. And the scouses and the jocuses, come on, Liverpool. What do you do?
Starting point is 00:50:32 Anyway, I think the government has an eye on that. And it is ready to stop all protests because it cannot and will not close those hotels. And that is a really big problem because I don't then know how people feel they can fight back. And of course, the government's last thing will be not a problem. You can't get onto X unless you identify yourself. And once you identify yourself, we know who you are. We know what you're arranging. We know where you'll be.
Starting point is 00:51:03 And we can preemptively arrest you under the new police and crime bill. And don't think they won't. They took 400 off the street in London, whether you agree with the pro-Palestine marches or not. They took 400 people and arrested them in one afternoon. It is a horrifying experience. And that's how they'll try and suppress the people. So, Elon, right? Get ready for the battle of your life.
Starting point is 00:51:31 because if the government can ban X or it can certainly track everybody on it, then that will be its next move. Well, yes, but he's not giving in. He's not giving in. I like this white feather campaign. The latest is he has posted, in response to this headline, grooming gangs commit nearly two child sex abuse offensives every day. Police figures reveal he has posted on X.
Starting point is 00:51:56 Why are police in Britain arresting citizens for social media posts instead of stopping child rape? Very good question. Throw them a white feather. So I'm going to get behind this. I'm going to get behind this. I like it. The white feather revolution. Right now I'm clinging to anything.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Okay? I'm clinging to anything. Because when we see what this government is doing, I think, at the very least. And I do hear what you're saying, Bernie, about foreign interference. But right now, I feel we need it. I'm like, help us. Seriously, help us Elon. Help us, J.D.
Starting point is 00:52:29 Help us Trump. Help us, Anne Coulter, help us making Kelly, help us Tucker Carlson. Like, if all we can do is bring shame and embarrassment on the government to try and stop them, taking some of these more authoritarian actions, then I guess it's something. It's something. As the UK slides into totalitarianism, one of the most bizarre things is that Kirstama, is morphine into the new David Brent. His public relaunch yesterday was an embarrassment
Starting point is 00:53:08 and it may have well been written by Ricky Jervase. We know this is a man who locks people up for tweets. We know this is a man who hates his country because he prioritises Davos over Westminster, but all of a sudden he has to pretend that he embraces the St. George's flag. And as I say, his relaunch interview might as well have been written by Ricky Jervais, Watch. Over the summer, one of the things we've seen an awful lot of is people putting up flags.
Starting point is 00:53:38 St George's flags. Summer's definitely over, and this morning we've got all the number 10 staff together and talk through what Phase 2 of the government is going to look like and feel like. So we're going to Phase 2 1st of September 2025. Be good spirits, confident, and with conviction about what we're doing. it needs a more powerful number 10. So we've added to the team with some really important new members. I've made a number of other changes,
Starting point is 00:54:11 but this is about focus on delivery now marching forward to the next phase of government. I mean, I shouldn't laugh, but it is so ludicrous. Jordan Tildsley posts on X the painting behind Starma could be his portrait. And I think it's true because the guy is a total empty vessel who is now acting like David Brent, and in the spectator, Madeline Grant, wrote, alongside his embarrassing motivational clip, Stama decided to launch this with an even stranger interview with Matt Chorley in Downing Street itself. He began by going through a weird changing room style description of the cabinet room.
Starting point is 00:54:47 There's a long table with lots of chairs around it for all the members of the cabinet. Presumably David Lammy's name on it while Big Angeles suspended over a shark pit. He then introduced phase two, which is apparently about delivery, delivery, delivery, delivery. Delivery is absolutely the key word. Focus on the delivery. It all made him sound like a sort of fanatical postman. The image of the PM squeezed into these gimpy little shorts. They now make postman wear as not one that anyone wants.
Starting point is 00:55:11 Whenever Stama tries to appear normal, he ends up sounding like a mixture of David Brent and the acid bath murderer. As he was asked about the proliferation of flags across the country, there came some absolutely classic examples of the genre. I'm a supporter of flags. He began, I always sit in front of the Union Jack. He insisted, always. I can just imagine a flunky following the PM around to his local on trains as he goes to the lavatory just to ensure he is always in the presence of a union jack.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Determined to make things even weirder, Stama informed surely that he had a St. George's flag up as flat as if he was trying to entice him upstairs in order to kill and eat him. And I think it is just worth taking a look at that interview because in reality there was as ever a sting in the tail which proved that Stavis. is not supporting the raise of the colours campaign at all watch over the summer one of the things we've seen an awful lot of is people putting up flags st george's flags union jacks it's but such a debate on five live some people say it's patriotic some people say it's racist which is it i'm a supporter of flags um i'm sitting with one you've got a union jack behind me i was the are you are you a supporter people painting roundabouts and hanging them from lampposts i i'm i'm the leader of the labor party puts the union jack on our labor party
Starting point is 00:56:27 membership cards. I always sit in front of a union jack. I've been doing it for years and it attracted a lot of comment when I started doing it. But in our flat, which is upstairs from here, as you know, we've got the St George's flag in our flat. So you're encouraging people to put up more flags? I'm very encouraging of flags. I think they're patriotic and I think they're a great symbol of our nation. I don't think they should be devalued and belittle. And I think sometimes when they're used purely for device and purposes, it actually devalues the flag. I don't want to see that. I'm proud of our flag. I sit in front of our flag and I'm very, very proud to do so. But you see what he did there. And he did it in the tweet in his post on X as well, where he wrote,
Starting point is 00:57:14 I'm proud of our flag as a patriotic symbol of our nation, like lots of people. I've proudly got one up at home. Using our flag to divide devalues it. Prompting Rupert lie to reply, the post would have been just fine without the second. paragraph. You so nearly did something right. And then what about Rachel from accounts? Rachel from accounts, who is driving our economy into the ground, who has been completely embarrassed by this reshufflers, the Daily Telegraph front page pointed out today, but who, again, in female David Brent's style, thought, I know, I know what I'll do. I'm not going to give an interview to talk about the fact that the guilt yields are in a far worse place. and they ever were under Liz Truss
Starting point is 00:57:59 about the fact that I'm going to have to break my manifesto promises or, if not, drive the middle classes either out of the country or into the ground with new taxes. No, no, no, no. Rachel Reeves decided, I'm going to show my human side by getting my team to fill me at a school being asked ludicrous questions by children. This is really going to work.
Starting point is 00:58:21 Watch. I've been hearing about you in the news that you like taxes. If you have three wishes, what would it be? Oh, my goodness. To answer your questions well, to make sure that all children have a good start in life and for my own children to give me less chat back.
Starting point is 00:58:45 I don't think that third one's going to come true. Is that your question? Well, I really, really believe that you and all the boys and girls that you're at school with deserve, great teachers and great resources at school. The really important thing for me is that when you need a school place for your kid, when you need a doctor's appointment or maybe an operation or health service or to go to the local park or the library, it's there for you,
Starting point is 00:59:13 regardless of how much money you've got and how much you've paid into the system. If you could have another job, what would that be? Oh, well, what I'd really like to do is Beyonce, but I don't think I'm never going to be Beyonce. So before I became an MP, I worked in finance. I worked in banks and financial institutions. So I guess that's what I would go back to doing. But at the moment, I'm doing the job that I want more than any other job.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I'm in charge of the country's finances. Who and what inspired you? Well, that's a really good question. I guess two people who really inspired me were my grandma and granddad. they always believed in giving someone something back. Is that all right? Yeah, you're happy with my answers? I get a high five.
Starting point is 01:00:00 Yay, very good. To my superstar panel, Alla Minnie Hayne and Bernie Spotforth. I mean, Bernie Spotforth, right? I know there'll probably be a lot of people feeling sorry for Rachel from accounts, right? But at the end of the day, she is laughing and sitting down there with kids
Starting point is 01:00:18 trying to change public perception of herself while Rome burns, our economy is being burnt to the ground by her. And this government has decided, oh, we're so unpopular. We're so out of touch with our people. But if we just come back and we tweak our PR strategy and we make a couple of David Brent-style videos, something's going to change. I mean, my head explodes. Well, my head explodes because we're spending millions and millions and millions on this team.
Starting point is 01:00:52 So, really, the team is the problem. And the team's been the problem since the beginning. Don't remember that picture of him in a submarine. Look at me. I'm in a submarine. Oh, it's so cringe. It's so embarrassing. Both of them are shockingly incompetent.
Starting point is 01:01:13 That's exactly the word all at. Both of them are shockingly incompetent. And, you know, maybe, maybe their marketing team and their PR team actually know this and they're doing it on purpose. Maybe they're just taking the pitch. I mean, I'm trying to work out with, or not, I was going to say, David Brent.
Starting point is 01:01:33 When Pierce Dahmer's had and he's had plastic surgery, he looks like a wooden top, both of them. He's got one of those Lego hair style. I'm amazed that she didn't say, oh, the 20 billion pound black hole, oh, it's just, they're utterly, they're utterly void of personality. for a start.
Starting point is 01:01:53 Totally. And she's sitting there going, what do you think, what do you think I, I'd like to be Beyonce? As if we're going to like her and that makes a difference. I mean,
Starting point is 01:02:02 I tell you where people would like her, Dan, if you saw it out, the finances of the economy. And I'll tell you what, Starma, stop the boats coming in, close our borders and do your bloody job and then maybe people will like you instead of talking about flags.
Starting point is 01:02:14 100%. 100%, which he clearly doesn't like, by the way. And the thing is he doesn't realize how serious this is. I mean, responding to his,
Starting point is 01:02:21 post on X. Alison Pearson, our friend wrote, the most delusional prime minister ever. I mean, she posed it as a question, but I think she's correct. Claims to have spent the first year fixing the foundations. The UK is on the brink of a terrifying financial crisis thanks to Labor. Energy bills up, jobs down, businesses closing. We need a new government. Tom Slater said that he was even less convincing them when David Cameron pretended to be a West Ham and Villa fan
Starting point is 01:02:52 and Nick Buckley wrote not a chance he knows there is no chance of leading Labour into the next election Andy Burnham is apparently on his way back to Parliament and when he arrives
Starting point is 01:03:01 he will snatch the crown Starma insists he will lead Labor into the next election but we just know that ain't true Bernie and it comes back to me this sign
Starting point is 01:03:13 you know on the M3 that everyone's honking their horns at because it's like what can we do? King Charles, can you just boot out these traitors? Because things are just getting worse. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean, like if I may, you know, on a serious note, I know we're laughing at Starma. But, you know, this, you know, Alison's totally right. I read everything that Alison writes. And she's so, she's so concerned about the financial state of this country and the fact that we are literally about to, literally about to go over
Starting point is 01:03:47 the cliff, which we are, and that will be catastrophic for a country that has been a financial powerhouse for decades. We are now about to implode. But on a serious note, you know, people are struggling to pay their bills. They're going to Tesco and not be able to pay for their food bill. You know, they can't buy their kids' new school uniforms this week. They're saying to me, you know, all are we trying to, I'm going to have to get another job. And that is why going back to the migrant crisis when we see these men in hotels getting five meals a day, getting phones, getting their amenities paid for, you know, walking around in trainers. And that is what is sticking in the throat. So not only if you've got that sexual kind of, that sexual
Starting point is 01:04:29 assault scenario, you know, the violence and all those other things and the undocumented men, the concern around undocumented men and the risk that that poses, but the unfairness that these people are getting so they're getting everything that a human being needs to sustain themselves when the public are saying we can't sustain our families anymore we can't pay our bills anymore and people are terrified that they're going to be able to make the mortgages their rent pay their council tax pay their it's just so utterly unfair but you know what don't worry stommar you talk about how you've got a lovely flag in number 10 of course you've got a flag you're the prime minister of the bloody united kingdom it's so infuriated yeah i mean i have to be honest
Starting point is 01:05:18 i hate him i hate him with a visceral visceral passion because he is destroying our country and i hate him for it he's breaking our souls he is he is and it's like yes he can pretend to be david brent and yes there is a a sort of almost farcical acid to his premiership. But I hate you, Kirstama, for what you are doing for us, for allowing this invasion, for taking away our free speech, for destroying our economy. And that might make me different to the mainstream media who hang out with you and a part of you, but I think you're a despicable, horrible man who has treated your family terribly and you're now treating your citizens, your country like you treated your wife. And to me, it matters. And we've got to talk about it,
Starting point is 01:06:11 Bernie, because his personal character is so in the gutter. It is so in the gutter. Yeah, he despises us. He despises anybody who doesn't think the way he thinks. The economy is absolutely screwed. Our debt is enormous. He has no way of handling it. He doesn't understand how to handle it.
Starting point is 01:06:39 And the problem is, with a shrinking. workforce. It's not only that the workforce is feeling poorer, but it's shrinking. The civil service has grown by public service, has grown by 700,000 people. So a smaller number of people are supporting them and getting nothing. And then he turns round to them and sees them as ungrateful, racist, not supporting him. And they are the problem with the country, but it's him that's the problem and his arrogance and his globalism. You already know, you said it at the beginning. Kier Stama is not fighting for you and me. He's fighting for policy. And it's those policies that are destroying the country, be they free speech, be they economic, be they migrant. He is fighting
Starting point is 01:07:30 for policy that is global. You've saw what he did with the Chegos Islands. You've seen how he treats international law. Can you imagine Maloney and Italy. And allowing international law to dictate to her. She'd just go, no, we're not doing it. But Stama is wedded to it because he is weak of character and he is very arrogant. And that's just what we've ended up with now. I didn't vote for this bloke, right?
Starting point is 01:08:00 I hope you lot have got bias remorse, as we did say. And by the way, and, Ola, it's important to ask for your reaction to this. It really does feel like this is a state now again. its people, everything Epine Forest has just reported in the past few minutes that the course of appeal has refused Epine Forest District Council permission to appeal to the Supreme Court over the closure of the Bell Hotel. The council said no reasons were given. The council could ask the Supreme Court itself permission to appeal against the judgment of the Court of Appeal. But this feels like this is the system keeping this damn hotel open at any
Starting point is 01:08:39 cost. Now you need Elon. Yeah. Well, well, we need a white feather and Elon. And I want him to bring his rocket to Epping and take us all out. But anyway, or take the men out. But anyway, the thing is that, and I've said this when I've been speaking to people over the last few weeks, there is no plan. There is no strategy. There is no, you know, they don't know what they're doing. You can't say we are going to close hotels down and deal with a micro crisis when the border is still open. You're basically pouring water into a bucket with a hole on the bottom. It's just madness. You know, they don't want to close the bell. If they close the bell hotel, they've got to rehouse 138 men. Those men will then be put into the community, which is not
Starting point is 01:09:22 wanted. They'll cause absolute mayhem. Everything will go from, it will, it will implode into a much bigger problem. If they do it in Epin, they have to do it in every city and town across the UK. There are 35,000 approximately men in hotels. Where are they going to put them? So this nonsense of we will close down all the hotels by 2029 when we finish our, you know, this parliament finishes. You're not going to be in power, mate. Let's be very clear because the country is going to have you out because you are so incompetent and so disingenuous. But they are saying that in their idyllic mindset of we'll have all these hotels closed down because what they'll do,
Starting point is 01:10:03 is give these men asylum and then they will give them the ability to move into the public and into our society and then they'll close the hotels down. But all you're doing is taking a problem from a hotel which is sort of contained, putting it into your community
Starting point is 01:10:21 and that's how they're selling this absolute farcical idea of we'll close the hotels down. Yeah, you probably will, but you're going to make the problem a lot worse. And all along, more and more, more and more, getting off boats every day, every day. It is ludicrous. I literally, you know, I mean, I'm, you know, whether you like Trump or you don't, he said he would stop the invasion
Starting point is 01:10:47 of the states. He would close the border and he would stop illegal migration. And he did that in seven months. He did it because he wanted to do it. Let's be clear, Starma doesn't want to do it. The government don't want to do it. And whatever is behind that, you know, you can be a conspiracy. theorists and come up with lots of different ideas. But whatever is behind that, they don't want to. Because on Friday, sorry, on Sunday, and every time we've had a protest in Essex, in Epping, there have been 500 plus policemen in riot gear. Why aren't they in Dover? Put them on the beach. Put them in Dover and get them to man the beach in Dover. Why are they manning women and children in Epping? It's bananas. The whole thing it makes me want to throw up. I'm going to get really annoyed now.
Starting point is 01:11:33 so I need to calm down. But it's, you know, the way they treat us with total contempt, like we're idiots, you know, we're going to do this, we're going to do that. You're not going to do anything. We know you're not going to do anything because you haven't done anything. We're going to deliver this. They couldn't deliver a pizza. It's just utter nonsense, the whole thing, the sooner they go, the sooner we can get control
Starting point is 01:11:56 of this country again, the sooner we can all get back to live in some kind of normal life. Sorry for renting. No, I loved it. I absolutely loved it. I was listening, nodding along. Gola, absolutely loved it. And I'm sure everyone else is feeling the same. Harry Potter stars are yet again trying to shame and undermine J.K. Rowling for standing up for women's rights.
Starting point is 01:12:22 But guess what? She ain't taking it anymore. After saying F.U. To those little brats, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grent, who stood. certainly wouldn't have had a career, by the way, if it wasn't for her, and Emma Watson. Actually, I don't think any of them would have. They're not particularly talented, are they? After saying F you to all of them, there's now the director of Harry Potter getting involved. This is Chris Columbus, who has said that a Harry Potter reunion is never going to happen
Starting point is 01:12:52 due to J.K. Rowling's transphobia. By the way, Hollywood Press, it's not transphobia. It's standing up for women's rights. But this is what he told the times. The filmmaker has previous expressed interest in a film adaptation of the Broadway play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child with the cast of the beloved franchise, but has since scrapped as plans because it got too complicated. It's never going to happen. It's gotten so complicated with all of the political stuff. Everyone in the cast has their own opinion, which is different from her opinion, which makes it impossible. Now, Columbus helmed 2001's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and 2002's Harry Potter in the Chamber of Secret.
Starting point is 01:13:33 He has previously publicly disagreed with J.K. Rowling, and he added, I haven't spoken to Miss Rowling. It's misses, by the way, in a decade or so, so I have no idea what's going on with her. As for the original cast, which includes Radcliffe, Brent and Watson, and the filmmaker by contrast, and we know that this was a contrast that he purposely made, said he is still quite close with them. I keep very close contact with Daniel Radcliffe and I just spoke to him a few days ago
Starting point is 01:14:02 I still have a great relationship with all the kids in the cast Rowling can't say the same as the author previously stated she would not forgive those who have supported trans healthcare including Harry Potter stars Grint Watson and Radcliffe
Starting point is 01:14:15 in response the latter said Rowling's comments made me really sad well JK Rowling ain't holding back anymore she posted in direct response to this new Harry Potter war. As another man who once worked with me declares himself saddened by my beliefs on gender and sex, I thought it might be useful to compile a list for handy reference. Which of the following do you imagine makes actors and directors who aren't involved with the
Starting point is 01:14:46 HBO reboot of Harry Potter so miserable? Is it my belief that women and girls should have their own public changing rooms and bathrooms? That women should retain female only rape crisis centres? That men don't belong in women's sport? That female prisoners shouldn't be incarcerated with violent men and male sex offenders? That women should remain in protected class and law because they have sex specific needs and issues. That language should reflect reality rather than ideological jargon, especially in a medical context. The women shouldn't be harassed, persecuted or fired for refusing to pretend humans can change sex. That women should not be threatened with violence and rape when they assert their rights. That freedom of speech and belief are essential to a pluralistic democratic
Starting point is 01:15:27 society. That troubled minors, especially those who are gay, autistic and trauma experience should be given mental health support instead of irreversible surgeries and drug treatments on non-existent evidence of benefit. That gay people shouldn't be pressured to include the opposite sex in their dating pools, nor should they be smared as genital fetishists when they don't. That cross-dressing heterosexual male fetishists aren't actually oppressed but having the time of their lives, piggybacking off gender identity ideology. That said ideology and the privilege blinkered full pushing it because they suffer zero consequences themselves have done more damage to the political left's credibility than Farage and Trump could have achieved in a century. And then J.K. Rowling invoked her
Starting point is 01:16:11 husband. Her husband. He's a mild man of guy. He's a doctor. I think he still works in the NHS. And he was clearly furious with Chris Columbus, the director turning on J.K. Rowling because J.K. posted. My husband just marched into the kitchen to tell me he thinks the first of September should mark open season on these C words. And only people who know near can possibly grasp how funny that sounded. Now, I think this is great. I think this is great. But to my superstar panel, all of any hand and Bernie Spofforth, Bernie, J.K. Rowling ain't taking this anymore. She doesn't care about these people who worked with her on the first incarnations of Harry Potter. She owns the rights to Harry Potter so they can all do one because she's going
Starting point is 01:17:02 to recreate the universe in HBO and sure some of these woke people might criticize her, but at the end of the day, they're still taking the Harry Potter coin. But what did you think of her response to Chris Columbus? Because she's going full-throttled now. Yeah, completely perfect. It was a completely perfect response. For a man, to not stand up for a woman is very telling. Everything she said was entirely sensible. No one in their right mind could think anything she said was transphobic or hate crime.
Starting point is 01:17:37 No one, but they will. And they'll all report her to the police. And the difference between J.K. Rowling and me or Orla or thousands of other women is that she can afford to say whatever she likes. speech is very expensive in this country and she's another one like Elon we need help keep talking keep speaking because you can and they cannot shut you down and and to me as a woman what she is saying as a woman is absolutely correct yeah for a man to almost belittle her
Starting point is 01:18:15 and suggest that she is in the wrong is unacceptable to me completely. Do you know what? These people, I mean, they're like, what these little brats, aren't they? Brats. Champagne socialist brats. You know, they've made an absolute fortune of this woman. This woman is a genius, you know, an intellectual genius. And these little upstarts were given a little, you know, a piece of action. And they have, it's gone to their head and now they're rolling around going, oh, look at me. I'm so, you know, I'm so politically correct. They'd drive. me nuts, these people. And you know what? She's so right, Jake Olin. She says it as it is. If you want to identify as a cabbage, then that's good for you. But don't expect me to talk to you
Starting point is 01:19:02 and call you a cabbage. Okay. That's, you do what you want. But don't, you know, put your nonsense and your rhetoric and your views on me. Go and live as you want to live. Good for you. Wear a dress, do what you want. You know, say that you're this, that and the other. And, you know, live your happy life. Good for you, but don't expect everybody else to go along with your nonsense. You know, my sister, my sister's a midwife and she had a training session about how she had to call it chest feeding, not breastfeeding, chest feeding. I mean, luckily she's not like me because I'd have walked out straight away and said, oh, do one, right? I mean, ridiculous. But this rhetoric, and the thing is, do you know what? The thing is with JK, she's got to a stage now
Starting point is 01:19:47 where she's brave enough, she's always been brave, but I think much like the migrant situation, much like all of these other nonsense, you know, things that have happened that we've been having to deal with over the last few years. So the COVID and the BLM and the trans and everything else has happened. We've all been shut up and we've all been told, you be quiet, you tow the line, you do what we say, and don't you dare say anything against it? And it's got to a stage now as we've been talking about where people are saying, do you know what? No, I've had enough. I've had enough because I am going to speak out. If you can all demand that you get your way, then we're going to demand that we get our way. And if, you know, she's right,
Starting point is 01:20:32 why should a little girl go into a changing room in wherever a shopping centre to try on a little pair of jeans and stand next to a man because he identifies as a woman? Good for you, mate. But do you know what? Don't put that nonsense on that little girl because that is not on. And that's the thing. And JK is standing up for all of us, just like we're standing up for women, just like Bernie's standing up for women. And we're standing out for common sense, common sense mentality. This utter nonsense that we've all had to swallow for the last few years has just got to a stage where we're all saying, dumb. Well, it's the tolerance thing, isn't it? It's the whole line of tolerance. So we have to bend over backwards and be.
Starting point is 01:21:14 entirely tolerant to something that is not normal or ordinary, but our normal and ordinary views are considered bigoted. How did you get that twisted? It's unacceptable and we have absolutely had enough, had enough. Yeah, absolutely. And look, at the end of the day, I think, and I love that you've called them brats all. I mean, they are, they are brats because they clearly didn't read J.K. Rowling's essay when she first started talking about this, right? Because if they had, they would know that the reason
Starting point is 01:21:51 that she started talking about this in the first place was because she was a victim of sexual assault. Jumping on the bandwagon, Dan. They've gone, oh, it's trendy, it's trendy to be trans, right, it's trendy to be all of this and the other. You know, they've grown up in, they've
Starting point is 01:22:07 grown up in the spotlight. They've been paid ludicrous amounts of money. As you said, with very little talent. Fine, good for them. But do you know what? Don't bite the hand that feed you. She has given you everything that you are now loving. You're loving your life. You've got everything you needed. You've been given X amount of privilege because of that woman. And now you're turning around and slating her and making a life of misery. Shame on them. Honestly, I'll never watch a film with that stupid boy in it. Let's be, let's be clear. They're not kids anymore. They're growing.
Starting point is 01:22:39 No, exactly. Exactly. And they've grown up and they've been in Dr. but thank God for women like J.K. Rowling and thank God for women like the two of you because you're amazing. All of many, Hayne, everything that you've done over the summer in Epine has been just phenomenal. Please don't give up. I know it's going to be hard after what's happened with Sarah, but do not give up and come back very soon because I love everything that you are doing. And Bernie Spofforth, one of our favorites behind the incredible, if this is true channel on YouTube. Thank you too, Benny. We'll see you very soon. Thank you. Lovely to see you again.
Starting point is 01:23:14 And of course, we will reveal today's greatest British Union and Jackass in just one moment. But first to your feedback, lots of it coming in today. Richard B. says, Mr. Stama, no matter who you lock up, no matter what truths you hide from us, I will never, ever like you. I will never trust you, I will never support you, and I will never vote for you. Richard, thank you, because that's pretty much what I was saying earlier. I just got so angry. Scotty John says, it is treason.
Starting point is 01:23:38 We are watching actual treason being committed against the citizens of the UK. Mike the Stand says the government has become the enemy of the people with the police force working as their military. We are at war. Melandra Smith says in regards to the arrest of Sarah White, this poor lady having her words twisted and being gaslit by the police whose first duty is protect her as a British citizen. And from Dane Rogers, when you lose your country to the invaders UK, don't come to the USA. We don't need rollover cowards here. No, very fair point, Dane. You absolutely don't.
Starting point is 01:24:13 Okay, today's greatest Britain and Union Jackass, a reminder of your Union Jackass nominees, Paloma Faith, nominated by Keo's bite, named by the Guardian as one of the UK's prominent women standing up for immigration. Bridget Philipson, nominated by Real Mick Cass, because she signed off full of pride after a busy first day back at the Department for Education. As he says, morality compass completely broken here. and Ed Miliband, nominated by Toro Parne, for wind farms which are being built with the full knowledge that the bulk of their output cannot be used. Okay, to your results in third position with 17%. Paloma Faith, the runner-up with 33% of the vote, the Education Secretary, Bridget Philipson. But today's Union Jackass, with a whopping 50% of the vote, Ed Miliband.
