 Good evening everyone. You're very welcome. Thank you for joining me. Monday night live stream. Lots and lots and lots to talk about and it seems as if there's a lot going on at the moment. We'll have a chat about coronavirus and where we are. There's a few stories going on with that. A third wave happening in Europe and it's all sounding very very familiar and there's also a fight going on between the UK and the EU about vaccinations. I want to talk also about the police and crime bill that I talked about last week and how it infringes upon our right to protest. Some of the examples that I addressed last week were that the police for example would be able to give you a decibel limit on how loud you're allowed to be. This would apply even to a single person. So a single person with a megaphone if the police don't like... and that's how it'll be used let's be clear. If the police don't like what's being said they will no doubt suggest it's too loud and get it shut down but they can also tell people when to start, when to stop and these are all very very new and we know that a couple of weeks back I looked through an article on Pretty Patel the Home Secretary who said who had been writing to the police asking them what laws they needed her to pass to greater restrict protest post lockdown because of course they had the perfect excuse with the lockdown that they were able to use against some people not all people but some people and we've had now and I'll go through this in a bit of detail it's quite shocking actually we've had protests take place against this bill in Bristol over the weekend and I've seen some shocking things I have to say I've never seen a protest before where people were urinating on policemen's shoes I've never seen that before and not only men by the way women also and even defecating in front of the police I've never seen that before there was a video going around which I saw you could which didn't show it thankfully in any great detail but while I can only assume and guess that you've got to be a left-winger in order to be that disgusting it's a whole new low in relations and quite repulsive though it may be something quite symbolic about it the army I want to talk about a little bit as well the army is being reduced and I also have been promising to do this now for some time well for a couple of weeks go through the I was asked a couple of weeks back the details to give some details of what we need to do about immigration and I will go through the manifesto the forbidden manifesto on immigration and I'm going to finish on time tonight we are going to finish on time tonight a couple more things I want to talk a little bit about local government spending give you a review of that because I've become really very interested in that due to the local elections coming up the diversity of the royal family and labor mp a labor mp but you can bet she's not alone Zara Zoltana and the real reason behind the obsession with racism and the transformation of what is meant by racism away from inequality between racial groups towards a pro communist pro socialist anti-capitalist agenda and that's exactly what it is couple of things first I want to tell you about I've just had a message come through from ed to tell me about we have launched a new lottery which will be active for two weeks it's two pound a ticket um these can be bought only by members and they're on the shop if you search for lottery tickets we also have these I showed you these a little while ago these are tree hangers and we've also got sort of dog tags for britain dog tags made um and stamped with for britain that was by uh james and joe quail so thank you as always james and joe and those are available on the shop as well okay um i want to give you before i start on all of that i want to give you a quick update on the so-called burglary at my home now it wasn't burglary is the wrong word burglary suggests theft and that the motive for whoever it was who came into my house when i was out for 10 minutes was there to steal something but nothing was stolen apart from my pros through it cards and what have you and nothing was stolen from that and i didn't notice it gone until the next day and nothing had been spent on it would have been easy you've got a 45 pound limit on a debit card now it would have been easy and as the police told me the following day what would normally happen is that they would go around to all the local shops and buy as she put it booze and fags with the debit card that's what would be the normal case but nothing at all was spent so the police have investigated this and they have um a kind of common go with the police on this you can get very frustrated dealing with the police sometimes and that this was no exception but we had uh contact with them on saturday oh and by the way i want to thank everyone who came out with me on saturday to leaflet in debuts ward in heartly pearl where i'm standing thank you to everyone who came out um so we had contact from the police on saturday they're closing the case purely because they cannot find any they can't go any further with their investigations however where my cards were found i mean the various different things were taken out and placed in different parts of heartly pearl where the cards were found my driving license was found on a drain that's what someone put it on facebook and said found this on a drain on such-and-such street and this drain the police have went and had a look at the street and had a look at this drain and it's the only part of the street that isn't caught by cctv it's isn't a huge street but this is the only part of it that hasn't isn't covered by any cctv so the police are have accepted and i think they were fairly accepting of it in the first place have accepted that this was and is a political intimidation and an attempt attempt to intimidate me and to play as another police officer put it to play mind games with me um and that they have assured me that coming up to the elections the closer we get to the elections the greater they will be keeping an eye on me and on my house and on the area that i live in and i have seen police here driving up and down a few times since this happened and they've told me that they um they will be keeping a closer eye the closer we get to elections so that's just a quick update on that and to repeat what i said at the time it didn't worry me it's it's a little bit it was it's confusing you think what on earth has happened but it didn't frighten me it didn't frighten me then it doesn't frighten me now i said as well at the time i slept soundly that night and i've slept soundly every night since we have increased security by the way at my house um and anyone who comes in now will be filmed come in here but it will never ever work it will never intimidate me and again it isn't me who is scared here someone is scared of me and that's becoming more and more evident and i hear things all the time about things going on with people you know little bit schemes and games going on for people determined that i won't win um a seat on the council here in may and again they're the ones that are scared not me they are terrified of my the prospects of me winning in may and i was out when i was out campaigning last week and i think i encountered my first lefty genuinely fighting they almost stand back and they could look you up and down and and the only the only word for it is fear the only word for it is is fear it's a complete then first of all they look like they're going to catch something from me and then it's fear they're terrified they're terrified of what i have to say terrified of the fact that it's all true and terrified of the fact that people know it's true and will listen and their bullying isn't going to last permanently it's not a permanent fix for them they know they can't really stop the truth and they are frightened very very frightened of the torn around that is happening in society as a whole it is happening there is a change happening people are becoming tired of being bullied and pushed around and are starting to speak up and listen up and they know it so all they have left is this kind of attempt at intimidation which doesn't work and isn't going to work okay what's going on with coronavirus it's like i say it's all looking very familiar the idea is still apparently the idea is that we are going to go back to normal on the 21st of june and we're going to go back in stages so we're going to have a few freedoms coming end of march a few more in april all going well and then all going well we'll be free to walk the streets and go to the shops and have a coffee or have a pint or go for a meal or go to a museum or a library imagine imagine having all your your freedom back that's the idea at the moment for june 21st however as many of us suspected the doom is starting to creep back in and i say all going well for a reason because we have to hope it all goes well so headline tonight is that the third wave will wash up on our shores boris johnson has warned the effects of a third wave of coronavirus will wash up on our shores from europe the p.m said the uk should be under no illusion we will feel the effects of growing cases on the continent now we've also heard that germany is talking about a new lockdown and i've heard as well that france may be talking about the same thing and this is when we're just getting some when the light is at the end of the tunnel back comes this lockdown threat again and it's still hard to believe that's that where we are it's still hard to believe it i was speaking to david vance on friday night and whenever you go through this never you have a conversation about this it's still unbelievable that we are sitting with the government dangling we will lock you in your houses again in front of our faces and having the the power to do it he actually asked me if we were ever going to get our freedoms back and my answer was then was and still is now only with a fight because what pretty battal is doing with our right to protest is just one example they will not be a rush to restore all of our liberties after this and in case one of his ministers one of boris johnson's ministers lord bethel also also warned the uk might put all our european neighbors on the red list of countries and the red list of countries are places where if you go there got a quarantine when you come back uh where it goes on to say where arrivals are either banned or put in quarantine hotels the comments come amid a row over covid-19 vaccine supplies in the EU and here's the row i mentioned between the EU and the uk on vaccinations so the president of the european commission Ursula van der Leyen has warned that the EU could forbid doses made in the bloc being exported to the UK EU leaders will hold a virtual meeting on thursday to discuss their plans wouldn't it be convenient for them wouldn't they just give so much of a boost a little bit of an opportunity for the remain campaign which by the way is still going and still as loud and whiny as ever before huge huge what have been like opportunity and opportunity for the still vocal remain faction or some to be fair of the remain faction to show what a mistake we've made in leaving the european union EU leaders will hold a virtual meeting on thursday to discuss their plans officials confirmed the p.m spoke to german chancellor angla Merkel and french president Emmanuel Macron on sunday about the ongoing issue which would affect exports of the oxford astro zenica vaccine made in europe mr johnson said he talked to EU friends repeatedly during the pandemic and has been reassured over the last few months they don't want to see blockades downing street also said president von der leyen had told mr johnson earlier this year that the EU is not intending to restrict exports of vaccines however EU legislation allows measures to be taken if severe difficulties arise in the supply of certain products which in theory could include export brands and the waving of patent and intellectual property rights on vaccines so that in a nutshell means that the EU does have the legislation to prevent or block export of this vaccine to the UK and may well may well do it if they feel like it right another bit on i'll just i'll go through that top five on the on coronavirus at the moment but i think the the most important element of it and again i'm very conscious of the clock because i don't want to overrun the most important element of it is that there is a third wave of this virus and whatever that means growing in europe we are being warned as a talk by France and certainly by Germany of another full lockdown there and our prime minister Boris Johnson is warning that this will come to us as well a further this the top five that's the that's headline number one under the top five on this issue this evening our political correspondent Ian Watson said the warning could help the PM to convince Tory MPs that he can't unlock england any faster for the 5342 new covid cases were reported alongside another 17 deaths within 28 days of a positive test i can't that that everywhere i read that now that's what it says it used to say covid deaths this started out it used to say covid deaths but we all got a little bit wiser and the information started to get out and it just shows you it just shows you this stuff would have been dismissed and i can actually remember when it was dismissed as tinfoil hut territory when people were saying these are not actually people dying from covid at all these figures are not people dying from covid and information started to come out including from NHS england and i remember reading this from the NHS's own NHS england's own website on this livestream one night that actually what were being reported by the press as covid deaths were simply people who died within 28 days of a positive test in the UK for from whatever reason and we started talking about it as people who died not from covid but with covid and that was at that time tinfoil hut territory this is what we were to this is what it was dismissed now have a look for yourselves you'll see it it's striking now when you read this it actually goes to the effort of saying 17 deaths within 28 days of a positive test incredible absolutely incredible so not very optimistic coming from boros johnson on that third wave in europe okay the second headline england's roadmap very optimistic wales force minister says so meanwhile the Welsh force minister mark drakeford has described mr johnson's timetable for easing england's lockdown as at the very optimistic end of the spectrum okay for a moment i thought that was actually mark drakeford being positive i was wrong he's saying that our plans in here in england to end the lockdown are at the very optimistic end of this in other words unlikely to happen according to him so we're back we've averted back to to to form mr drakeford said he wanted to be realistic and warned wales was not likely to return to normality in 2021 it came as wales ease restrictions on non-essential shopping and reopened garden centres um number three what's the problem with EU vaccine rollout the european union slow vaccine rollout continues to dominate the headlines european leaders have been criticised for the pace of its vaccination program less than 12 percent of the EU's population is reported to have received their first job compared with nearly 40 40 percent in the UK would you look at that the UK's better out than the EU who'd have thought that a massive bloated useless bureaucracy as opposed to a nation state would be less efficient who'd have thought a massive bloated bureaucracy would be less efficient i'm just gonna read a little bit about that the european union has said it could no wait wait wait that's not right there it is in june 2020 all seven member states joined up to a steam given the EU central responsibility for buying vaccines however the EU was slower than the UK which has caused to sign contracts which has caused supply problems it also signed deals with Pfizer bioNTech and Moderna which ran into early problems with production and distribution in february mrs vandalin acknowledged the EU's vaccine failure saying we were late to authorize we were too optimistic when it came to massive production perhaps too confident that what we ordered would actually be delivered on time again who'd have thought a massive bloated bureaucracy would have been more efficient than nation states looking after their own citizens four lockdown boost for b&q the owner of diy retailer b&q has reported a sharp rise in full-year sales and profits boosted by a new generation of young di wires that is actually quite interesting kingfisher which owns the builders merchants screwfix added that 20% of young di wires had tried home improvement for the first time plus the firm excitedly predicted that more working from home would increase wear and tear uh lastly how can i stop my house plants dying house plant sales were already increasing before the coronavirus pandemic but they've risen further in lockdown with the royal horticultural society reporting an 80% increase in sales of foliage house plants in 2020 and then it goes on to tell you how to look after your house plants i might have a read of that later actually okay onto this crime and policing bill protest in bristol i genuinely was shocked by videos i saw today i think it's a new low for the police and it's a new low for relations between the public and the police i say again people were urinating on the shoes on the feet of police officers in bristol and even according to a report i read defecating in front of the police in bristol i've never seen anything like that in my life and luckily i didn't see it in detail this time either um i'm gonna again i'll i'm gonna guess that this is not these people are not um conservatives or anyone half decent but the the left i mean this is this sort of i mean i completely understand anger at this bill and i completely understand protesting against this bill in fact i'm pleased that they're that people are protesting against this bill while they can because one of the things that the bill will do is stop us protesting against bills and i do understand the anger and distrust and the reasons for the breakdown in relations between the police and the public and i'll just to very briefly i don't want to go through it again as i did last week but there is a they have the police have taken science politically um and they are vastly different in how they police for example someone a group of british patriots who go to london to protect Winston Churchill statue or black lives matter to completely or extinction rebellion anyone on the uber left so they have taken science politically and this is genuinely truly dangerous and unacceptable so i understand this distrust and why relations are as bad as they are between the public and the police and why people are protesting against this bill but i get the feeling and you get the feeling that this is more a and particularly with the disgusting behavior that this is more a hard left anti-police in general a bit of a black lives matter actually defund the police sort of affair and that they have are and are exploiting what is a legitimate cause which is to oppose this bill and exploited last week i spoke about this last week a vigil for held in Clapham Common for Sarah Everard who was murdered and a police officer has been charged with that murder i suspect and i suspect a lot of you will agree with me that this is being hijacked by a defund the police extreme left and the behavior to me gives makes me think that even more i'll just go give a quick quick idea what's been going on violent clashes at a demonstration that saw police attack and vehicle satellite have been condemned as shameful and unacceptable this one bbc a couple of hours ago protesters clashed with officers as thousands turned out for the kill the bill march in Bristol on Sunday Bristol by the way is it's a beautiful city absolutely beautiful city but for those who don't know it it's very much a hob of leftism um at least on the on the streets and i'm not suggesting for a moment that everyone in bristol is a leftist a bit of limit like Brighton it's one of those cities um and it's also the place where black lives matter tore down Edward Colton a statue of one of the most famous sons of that city tore it down and threw it into um threw it into the water despite the people of bristol actually voting in a public poll to keep that statue they decided that it was to go there to replace it with a temporary black lives matter statue which was eventually taken down but this is the same city and actually on that occasion when the statue was torn down and thrown into the water the police there said that they were proud that the city that the people in bristol had torn down this this statue and i remember watching an interview with the police chief there and he said how can we possibly stop people tearing down a statue of a slave trader and the words he used were what would that look like what would that look like it just matter what it looks like police it's a crime you ought to be stopping it so for those who don't know same city 20 officers were injured two seriously one with a punctured lung seven people have been arrested prime minister boris johnson said people had a right to protest do they really what's that bill about then but the violent scenes were unacceptable he added they should protest peacefully and legally speaking in the house of commons home secretary pretty patelle condemned the protesters anarchic and violent she said the minority of people who confronted police officers in the city center on sunday night had demonstrated criminal thuggery and disorder and put lives at risk our exceptional brave police officers put themselves in harm's way to protect the public for them to face the criminal violence against them while upholding the law is completely unacceptable she added my thoughts are with injured officers and their family bristol mayor marvin reys slammed the rioters as selfish for living out their revolutionary fantasies i quite like that that's actually a lot of them are doing avan and somerset police chief constable andy marsh said the protests have been hijacked by extremists and people who are determined to commit criminal damage there was a hardcore of serious criminals hidden within those 3000 people perhaps four or 500 people and we certainly didn't trigger this crowds have gathered to peacefully protest in opposition to the new police and crime bill but it went in a violent direction outside bridewell police station now it's interesting and i get this i get this i you know i've just explained that i think this isn't this is hijacking by defund the police types but it is interesting that the police themselves are saying that a minority were were causing trouble but when there was a vigil for sarah everard they dispersed them because of a breaking breaking lockdown rule there's so this again again again so much confusion and so many mixed messages coming from the police that it really doesn't help restore the trust and won't help restore the trust between the public and the police okay um the army news came out today that the army is to be cut in size by cut to 72 000 troops and it will be cut to the lowest the smallest size since the 1700s at least according to some reports that i've read the report by the bbc this evening is the size of the army is to be reduced to 72 000 soldiers by 2025 as a move towards drones and cyber warfare defense secretary ben waller said increased deployability and technical advantage meant greater effect could be delivered by fewer people he set out plans for new capabilities such as electronic warfare and drones in a command paper in the commons labor has worn this actually made me laugh out loud when i read it that size matters when it came to defense crying out loud this this should be filed under can't make it up genuinely filed under can't make it up this is the same labor party and here is the political game playing and the political lying and false positioning that we are always that we are subjected to on a daily basis this is labor saying that size matters it's the same labor that senior figures not too long ago wanted to dismantle the army altogether and more importantly well i mean that's that's not going to happen is it this is the loony left that's in and what we're talking about leadership contenders of the labor party here talking about disarming the army altogether um because they live in fluffy bonny lands where no army is necessary because if we were all equal then we would all just get along if we were all living under communism then we would all just get along and life would be well fluffy bonny land so this is the same labor but worse than that because that's a ridiculous fantasy but worse than that and not such a ridiculous fantasy was labor were the ones to stop attempts in the house of commons to pass legislation to prevent the prosecution of british soldiers so labor is now pretending jumping up and down pretending to care about the army file it under couldn't make it up announcing a major overhaul of the armed forces mr wallis said he did not want to play top trumps with troop numbers but said the government was increasing the uk defense budget by 24 billion over the next four years the army currently has 76 000 personnel and has not been at its established strength of 80 of 82 000 troops since the middle of the last decade mr wallis said these changes will not require redundancies and we wish to build on the work already done on utilizing our reserves to make sure the whole force is better integrated and more productive shadow defense secretaries of his labor john healy warned that while threats to britain are increasing the plan was for fewer troops fewer ships fewer planes over the next few years the changes set out in the paper entitled defense in a competitive age includes three billion for new vehicles long range rocket systems drones electronic warfare and cyber capabilities um it will be a reduction of 10 000 it goes on in quite some detail it will be a reduction it says of 10 000 people and what defense secretary ben wallis announced was a cut to the target for the number of fully trained people in the army from 82 000 to 72 000 um right what do i think of this now it's a mixed it's a bit of a mixed bag because i'm in favor of obviously in favor of more spending on defense i am in favor of greater technology what my worry is that we already seemed to get it wrong when there were troops you you hear horror stories of troops being sent out to war zones without the most basic equipment and this is these are not old stories there's a from a few years a few years ago over very recent years and it goes that there's another there's a separate i am why if this is to be trusted if it's to be believed that equipment will be better and we'll have more protection for soldiers then i'm in favor of it and i'm in favor of greater spending however it is to be its smallest in 400 years according to a follow-on article by the bbc it's losing up to 10 000 soldiers soldiers from the regular army's national strength ministers have made clear that they will have to make painful decisions for the armed forces a senior army officer told the bbc that technology will allow the army a more leaner and more agile role it just there's something wrong here there's something wrong i don't like this i don't like i like the spending i like the new equipment if it comes to fruition but there's something wrong here and i'm reading as you read down it comes made warnings that the army is already too small i just there are things about the army that go beyond actual defense it's one of the few queen and country elements of the country that's left this goes to the armed forces in general it's one of the few i think i for want of a better word maybe i don't want a better word patriotic elements of the country and to see it reduced i just don't like it i don't like to me it's it's stinks of not just a reduction of defense itself which in itself is bad enough but a reduction of that element of society that is signed up to queen and country if that makes sense that loyalty that's required that's what's really being reduced i frankly would like to see a lot more of queen and country rather than less i think that's what's really that's the part of it that just sits uncomfortably with me is a reduction in the number of the reduction of that element duty honor um willing to put one's life on the line for queen and country the reduction of that in society is what bothers me and i do think that that to most of our politicians would be seen as an advantage rather than a disadvantage rather than a loss from society and as i said i'd like to see more of that and not less okay i'm going to quickly get through immigration i do want to cover this i've said now for two weeks i was going to cover this i'm going to very clearly so i was asked what do we need to do to stop illegal immigration very very simple very simple send people back that's it that is it you have to that's the first and most important thing you have to do is send people back that's the message that needs to be sent so from for britain's manifesto what we do is end all illegal immigration and return offenders to their country of origin without delay or appeal now any appeals if there were appeals and there shouldn't be to my mind except for in the very very exceptional of circumstances should be made from the country of origin and not from here and should not be at the cost or the at the the british taxpayer should not be paying for it freeze immigration for a period of five years and this cannot immediately affect our economy and i know that a lot of people are expressed concerns about this but that is a medium to longer term issue you cannot take every foreign worker out of this country and send them home immediately our economy would suffer it has to be you know you can't you just you have to our country is so entrenched if you like in it that it's going to take time to reverse and what we need to do instead is invest in and create schemes to put british people in work first and one of the areas that this is most pertinent if you like is health care and one of the most obvious areas and i had a discussion about this recently on it on it on a stream the NHS is one example where you have tens of thousands of nos train people nos trainees and medical graduates british nos trainees and medical graduates who cannot get places in the NHS while the NHS continues to recruit doctors and nurses from all over the world who will have cultural we will have cultural problems there are even language problems i've seen this myself in the health service and i'm sorry to say you know this is controversial but i don't we don't even know frankly whether we can trust the qualifications of a lot of people so that's one example of how we must or one of the things we must do to end our reliance rather than just wiping it out overnight we must take quick but not immediate steps to put british people into jobs and the NHS is a great example where we must stop bringing in doctors and nurses from across the world when tens of thousands of qualified brits should be doing the job introduce a points-based migration system at the end of these five years freeze immigration for five years though seeking to learn this is important this is important and this is what you won't find from other political parties though seeking to live in the uk must be of good character and economically self-sufficient they will respect british culture and make an effort to integrate will obey uk laws and agree to adhere to the democratic order those who will not integrate or who will not respect british laws and norms will not be permitted and will to live in the uk and will not be granted british citizenship make clear and legislate on that all british citizens are equal use the resources currently employed in facilitating inward migration to investigate current illegal immigration that is an absolute priority we have over a million illegal immigrants according to migration watch we need to start looking for them deport those to be living in the uk unlawfully ensure that appeals against deportation are at private and not public expense ensure that asylum is rare of proven necessity and temporary now this is where this is where a lot of this is going wrong first of all we're taking people who don't meet the definition of asylum seeker people fleeing poverty for example that's not an asylum seeker and then we're not sending people home there's no insistence that you're here finding this is what asylum means you're here for a very short time but then you are going back and with that we have to use our resources to reassess current asylum seekers in the uk and deport those involved in violent crime now that applies to everyone who is in this country including asylum seekers now asylum seekers the argument will be the human rights laws won't allow them to be sent home because they'll be in danger if they go home let me make this very very clear and i think this is important as well if you commit a violent crime in this country if you attack a british person in the street if you rape a british woman or a british child if you are if you commit violence regardless of the danger you face in your own country you will be sent back no ifs or buts we will not endanger british people in order to make people from other countries safe we won't do it it is british we have a duty to british public force so that's clear and there are reams reams of examples of people committing really violent crime including rape in this country who are allowed to stay here because they have human rights but apparently british people don't have human rights so that's clear asylum seeker or not in danger or not you hurt us you're out triple the size of the uk border force and retrain them it seems but that remind the border force their job is to keep out illegal immigrants not to bring them in uh permanently prevent the return to the uk of any person known to have joined a paramilitary group or known to be hostile to the uk and its values um because of time i'm not going to read all of the manifesto those are the key points of it i would highly recommend and ask people to go on to for britain dot uk and read the manifesto in full actually not just the immigration section but all of it now very very quickly on local government i've been looking at local government spending as part of my campaign for may and it's it's really it's fascinating what is spent and on what and how they raise money and a lot of local government is getting a lot more freedom and a lot of laws a lot of there will be given a lot more discretion in 2020 but of course because of coronavirus a lot of things went on to the back burner so i just want to read a little bit for the institute for government from the institute for government and it says local authorities deliver social care for children and adults neighborhood services such as libraries and waste collection and some aspects of transport housing and education and part of why i've become very interested in and want to pay because i'm campaigning for local election but i also want to emphasize the power and the influence and the effect of local government on our everyday lives they control a lot and that's why it's so very important that we stand for election to these councils and i want to thank again everyone who is standing in these elections in may they are very very important and to everyone who is standing and to everyone who supports them please do your very best in these we can all only do our best but please do your best and don't lose sight of the importance of getting four britain bombs on council seats and if you can help us please do with any way you can whether by helping with campaigning or by donating any way you can help us this is important so local authorities have three main sources of revenue government grants council tax of business rates business rates is one of the things they were due to be given more discretionary business rates is essentially council tax on businesses and it's extremely expensive for a lot of businesses and part of the discretion that local governments were going to get and some that they already have is the discretion to reduce given the coronavirus to reduce business rates given the coronavirus pandemic has laid waste to so many businesses across the country this is something that local governments should be doing to get businesses back on their feet so they can start employing people and get money moving around unlike central government they cannot borrow for to finance day-to-day spending so they must either run balanced budgets or draw down reserves money built up by under spending in earlier years to ensure that the annual spending must not exceed the annual revenue but reserves cannot be used once reserves are spent they cannot be spent again okay this is this is really all very interesting but quite the time i'm not going to go through too much of it but just to say that over the last 10 years their budgets have been dropping and dropping and dropping they've gone from 2009 2010 to 60 billion to in 2018 2019 50 billion according to the institute for government and to be fair to them they do have to do a lot with very little money and not enough money is being given to them i would say by central government however how they choose to spend that money is often very very unwise and not in the interests of the people they're supposed to represent and one example i give you something i worked out i did an interview at the weekend for local radio station here and i worked out before it that the council management not the staff the management of the council where i live if they took a 20 pay cut the lowest paid would still be 20 grand a year better off than the average salary in this town so i am adding to my campaign a challenge to because we're all in this together right a challenge to local government here and i would urge other candidates to do the same to highlight how local governments are spending their money they can't afford this and they can't afford that but if they took a 20 pay cut they would still be earning far more than the average wage in likely most towns across this country i will be adding that to my campaign and i will be directly child i do directly charge and i did on the radio the other day take a pay cut you'll still be better off than most okay let me get on to some questions where are we okay amanda hi amanda um what would you do to reform the british police they genuinely need what we need is reform at the very top and that means government and it means a government that is willing to come in and acknowledge and address the left wing direction that the police have gone in and to restore unbiased objective dispassionate policing we shouldn't know if you have a protest in the streets like with the media we shouldn't know what a journalist opinion is and we shouldn't know what a police officer's opinion is either this is going to mean it can only be at the very it's it's a government issue the government is allowing us to be clear it's a government that's in charge so the country the problems in this country are the fault of the government because it's a government who can change them and we have a Tory government now who knows perfectly well or should know perfectly well and if it doesn't it's makes it just as inept that the left that the police that policing is dominated the higher echelons of policing are dominated by left wing and common-purpose types and you know you know the types i'm talking about the types who are more concerned with social issues and the reasons for crime rather than the dispassionate enforcement of law um the government needs to acknowledge the left-wing dominance in senior policing and it needs to issue demands so for example if i'm in pretty patel's seat she's the home secretary she's responsible for policing i would be issuing instructions to every police force in this country that we are making we would make it an offence is our policy to make it an offence for the police to join in protests in the street and they do it and we need to issue instruction to every police force in this country that this law will be enforced that they cannot should not allow any police officers to take sides in political protests in the street that this is a very serious dereliction of police duty to be unbiased we need also and anyone who doesn't do it will be removed from their job including as gross misconduct including the chiefs of these organizations of these police forces now if the chiefs don't make those changes guess what they too will be removed from their jobs for gross misconduct this is not policing another thing you have to do is change the training that the police receive they are trained to be social workers and not police officers and that needs to change drastically it has to change at the top for any of that to happen the government has to change we have to have a government that wants to restore actual policing and has frankly the guts to restore actual policing in both of the major parties that stand to former government in this country the conservatives and labor neither exists there's no desire to restore policing to its former objective unbiased position and there is certainly no guts to do it because they will come up against opposition and they don't like opposition because it's far too difficult for them and they'd like an easy day and to get out of the office early and go home we need guts competent and acknowledgement of the problems at the very top of government and that's the primary problem um oh okay oh thank you for that pal don't worry about overrunning it the best show on tonight by far uh red bee asked me what do i think of the election results in the netherlands um i honestly haven't caught up on that yet i shall have a look and come back to you about it next week i do see though that uh nicola starjan has been cleared of breaching the ministerial code just letting you know very quickly um she has there was an investigation into whether or not she had interfered with um inappropriately influenced the civil service regarding sexual allegations against her the former force minister uh alexander anyway she has been cleared of any wrongdoing that's the the the top headline on the bbc at the moment okay um james millow let's hope they're going to replace the 10 000 soldiers with 10 000 mi5 officers to track the jihadi's living moments that would be great i doubt it though to be honest with you um i don't know what you think general let me know amari writes love your neighbour as yourself but this doesn't mean invite hundreds of strangers to live in your house and care for them thus neglecting your own children i completely completely agree with that and it's actually really well put there's nothing it you know parent has a duty to their own children to protect their own children and in the normal course of events that is where a parent's priority would be it would be to protect their children now it doesn't mean that they hate next door's children and in a great catastrophe one would think they would aid next door's children and this is why we say in for but no we will we were not going to completely withdraw from the world a great natural disasters for example britain will play its part in helping but what it doesn't mean is that we place our own people in danger to do it and the same scenario with next door's children yes you can help next door's children in time of great danger or catastrophe mostly some people would but you don't throw your own children into the fire in order to help somebody else's this is not there's there's something wrong there there's some sort of natural instinct has been distorted there and we have made some sort of a virtue out of it as in I'll sacrifice my own children has been turned into a virtue rather than the actual horror show that it is to sacrifice or to put in danger one's own children there's nothing honorable or moral about it it is the natural order of things to protect your own it doesn't mean you hate anyone else it doesn't mean you won't come to their aid in times of great need or great emergency it just means you won't sacrifice your own children and that's what we ought to be doing as a nation and that's what governments ought to be doing for their citizens and it brings me back to the violent asylum seeker issue some asylum seekers very very very few even the UN admits that only about a fifth of those coming here actually would actually meet the legal definition of asylum seeker so if the UN says a fifth they say one in five the truth is probably more likely to be one in 20 but even if you are a genuine asylum seeker and if you are genuinely fleeing for your life and then you but you come here and start endangering the lives of British people or the safety of British people I'm sorry tough you've made your choice you came here and harmed our people so you're out danger or not you're out British people come forced and should come forced in the eyes of the British government okay where do you even start because the whole system is toxic and poisonous the whole system is broken from top to bottom the whole system needs to be abolished and started again I you know I I agree with that in terms of the top the top we need to reform the very very top we need to reform the top of policing we need to make fewer laws and get rid of a lot of the laws that we have and address this last week we don't need a lot the laws we have but we need a lot of the new laws we have but we need us to enforce the old laws but one of the things that new laws reams and reams and reams of new laws do first of all they're often very vague and I don't think this is an accident I think it's left open to the police to interpret in favour of their political biases but further up the chain from that it's left open for the judiciary to interpret now that is the case that's how law works parliament passes government introduces a law a bit of bill parliament debates it gets passed through vote by vote in the House of Commons the next step then is it comes before the police arrest under its powers and then it comes up to the judiciary and the just judiciary interprets the legislation that the commons House of Commons has passed and applies it to the case in front of it when laws are so open and so vague it leaves the judiciary greater room than it should to interpret in favour of its own prejudices the judiciary we can see and I'm hesitant to call it left wing because you know left wing we're not talking about economics here state ownership or private markets we're talking about wokeness okay maybe I'll call it wokeness rather than and it's I love that works just encapsulates the whole thing examples examples would be not sending people back even though they are a great danger to the british people not sending people home to their home countries jihadis for example being allowed even though we know we know convicted we're talking about convicted violent people which think the judiciary will not deport because it interprets the human rights act to keep the most violent of people in this country regardless of the dangers that it places british people in there it may be that the human rights act is the problem I think it's part of the problem a huge part so we need to get rid of it but also when we have laws we cannot keep giving the judiciary this much discretion let's make the laws a lot more succinct a lot clearer and give far less room for political interpretation both by the police and by the judiciary that's something that absolutely has to change and we also need to get rid of the human rights act we do and replace it with real protections for our rights because it protects the human rights act is great at protecting foreign rapists and terrorists absolutely useless at protecting our rights to free speech for example quite the opposite okay i'm going to answer this graham has messaged me saying what did you cook bake for your home economics final at school a kind of forgot what it was now oh a pineapple turnover okay is that what it upside down pineapple upside down what is it called upside down pineapple cake i think that's what it's called anyway that's what i can't for for my final home economics exam back in school i'm actually fairly sure we had to cook that i'm fairly sure we are i
