 Good evening all, thanks for joining me you're all very welcome. This is my welcome to my last live stream before the election. I won't be doing a live stream next week. Next week is as you know election week and I can't wait, I can't wait for election day and in all honesty I can't wait for the other side of this. It's an incredible, it's an incredible experience actually running in an election and it is, well it's what it's all about and I tell you one thing I've learned throughout this campaign is how different things are or one of the things, it's a while since I've actually stood for election and a while since I've had an election campaign like this and one of the things that stands out for me is the difference between what's on the doorstep and what's on social media. I've long said that social media is not an accurate reflection of life and this is really proving that it isn't. A lot of people you talk to on the doorstep are not on social media, a lot of them don't care for social media, a lot of them don't have, their opinions are certainly not shaped by social media though sadly largely mainstream media does still play a large role but not as much I'd say as it used to or as it once did and I think that's probably obvious and I think that's a trend and it's a direction that we're going in but social media is certainly not an accurate reflection of what people are saying on the doorstep, so what people think about on the doorstep. Immigration is a huge issue for people and it is and I don't generally mention it until it's mentioned to me and it is mentioned to me and it's mentioned to me a lot and you'll often know what's coming when people will say things like listen I'm not a racist and you immediately know what's coming, you immediately know they're going to say there's too much immigration in this country and why don't we for once put British people first or why don't we take care of our own why is everything about other people why are when we're locked in our houses why are we at door why is Heathrow and all the other major airports across the country still taking in fast numbers of people while we're locked in, this is what people think working every day people across the country it's what huge numbers of them think if you were to lock though on social media you would think and it is portrayed and this is also on mainstream media it's portrayed as a minority crank outsider group that are concerned about immigration they're not they're not knocking on doors you all know that that's not the case so that's been driven home for me again quite a bit in this election is that social media the internet in general is not an accurate measure of what people are thinking and saying on the door steps uh as someone at Graham has just written truths are told when I speak on a door steps absolutely true it's absolutely true talk to people talk to people get out there and talk to people and you'll see what they're really thinking and I think it's a bit of an eye opener it is a bit of an eye opener but it's been great but I'm just so keen to get there now I'm so keen to get there now and I'm sure there are a lot of candidates feel the same way it's it's it's it's it's a it's a this big build-up I just can't wait can't wait to get there okay what do I want to talk about tonight I'm watching the comments come in I'm just seeing uh Frankie ask what do we say to people on the doorstep when they say they don't vote now I covered this and I'll cover it again I covered this in my Wednesday morning stream recently but I think it's really important to to talk about this around a third of the country doesn't vote and if they did a third of the country can elect a government if a third of the country voted for for Britain we could be in government that's how significant it is the powers that be labour and Tories the status quo want to remain the status quo they're quite happy for power to drift from one side of the House of Commons to another as long as they get their turn again quite happy for it to say as it is what they don't want is anyone else breaking through and disturbing that status quo both of the big parties have their core voter that will always vote for them no matter what then it has the floating voters not quite the right word but it's the only expression that sort of fits for the sake of conversation let's call it that someone who'll go one way or the other depending they're not a hardcore labour or Tory usually the people who decide elections in fact a lot of people in that vein will have voted and we'll give up on voting this is exactly what the status quo wants them to do the best way of maintaining the status quo the labour Tory duopoly is what i usually call it but actually someone said to me recently it's actually more like a monopoly which is true the thing they want most is this disillusionment it is and the people you've a lot of people after brexit as well they voted to leave the european union didn't quite happen unless it didn't happen anytime quickly after and as the word that's it i'll never vote again that's what the status quo wants to change this country you have to vote to change this country you have to stand people must stand for election as well as vote if you are incredibly cynical about electoral politics then what have you got to lose by voting for someone else for voting against the status quo people have told me i met someone on the doorstep very recently you said well what's the point you don't nothing ever changes so i'm not voting because nothing ever changes when you do well nothing will change if you vote labour and Tory but we need a an electoral revolution for want for a better word we need new people standing and we need people to get behind those new people standing it is a self fulfilling prophecy if you decide not to vote then you are guaranteeing that nothing will ever change but you can vote join and stand for outside the status quo that's your only chance of making things change you can forfeit your democratic right and leave the status quo where it is or you can decide to make change new party new candidates new ideas are the only way we're going to make change forfeiting your ability your right your vote will change nothing and that's why i say it's a circular it's a self fulfilling prophecy if you don't vote nothing really will change if you do something might and it'll take you two minutes to go down to the local community centre or whatever it may be and put an x on a box that's all you have to do that's all and if you really don't think it's going to make a word have you got to lose what have you got to lose go out and use your vote it's as simple as that and there's no other way there's nothing more dramatic or yeah just nothing else there isn't any you know it's as simple as it's as simple as that forfeit your vote maintain the status quo vote differently get involved that's the way to make change it really is that simple and yes that's that's what i'd say to people on the doorstep and it's what i did say to the man who who i spoke to about this well keep to keep don't vote and it really will nothing really will change the very worst the very worst thing people can do is just not bother to vote and the thing is i say that completely understanding why because we've had this laboratory laboratory thing for for as long as most of us have been alive the only way to stop it is to use your vote simple as that okay what do i want to talk about tonight there is a distinct how am i going to look around the news and i think someone has just said this in the comments there is a distinct change in the news i've been looking through the news today and there it is i found the comment have you noticed a sudden upswing in the dovetailing of the pandemic and climate change are genius yes i have yes i have i actually sent a message to someone the other day i got up we're going to put the morning and i'll check the news on the phone for us to see what's going on and there is a noticeable as j.s says in the comments say there is a noticeable upsurge upswing in climate change stories and as a kind of an amalgamation of covid and climate change stories melting in of the two we talked about this on a live stream recently climate lockdowns lockdowns to save the world sort of stories and you can see that melting in of the two there's another thing i noticed as well and i have done in the last couple of days and again today is a reduction in covid stories and i'll give you an example just looking at the bbc's home page this evening the top story is funding of pms flat refurbishment to be reviewed uh that's the top story on the bbc then you've got zagari ratcliffe sentenced to a year in prison two college staff hurt a shot reported at campus channel five pulls charlotte crossby documentary of no idea who shall it crossby is uh other headlines are a couple of covid related ones it's just not as many as there were and looking over onto sky news similar you've got a story about the pms flat refurbishment about nazan nazanin zagari ratcliffe jail for another top story on sky news two people injured after shots fired near college sainsbury say sorry for cornish corn cornish cream tea scone blasphemy top civil servant accused of stonewalling mps in badly scripted version of tv sitcom yes minister a story about a child uh saturday i'm from nekemia uh two stories about the woman jailed for a year in iran one about scottish independence one about the queen um and only two covid related in the in the main front page one of them p.m denies saying he would rather see bodies pile high than have another lockdown and torky enters full closure lockdown until mid-may as EU confirms vaccinated tourists welcome this summer there is a noticeable change in the level of covid related stories itv tory party gave loan to p.m for downing street refurbishment this is showing a little bit too significant i would have thought top story on that is boris johnson denies making let's bodies pile high comments let's have a look at that see what that's all about so god these dominant comings and boris johnson have should we say fallen out he was a senior advisor to boris johnson last year his name will be very familiar to all of us and stories have gone around over the weekend that he's going to release or he has released and will release some various different scandalous allegations about the prime minister during the the coronavirus decision-making meetings and what have you and one of the things that is alleged i'll read it i'll read it to you from from item boris johnson has denied saying he would rather have bodies pile high in their thousands than implement a third coronavirus lockdown asked if he made the comments attributed to him mr johnson said no but i think the important thing i think people want us to get on with and do as a government is to make sure that lockdowns work they have and i pay tribute to the people of this country this whole country of ours really pulled together and working with the vaccination program we've got the disease under control labour leader kirsten was said mr johnson needed to make a public statement about reports he's alleged to have claimed he would let bodies pile high rather than have another lockdown i think like everybody reading that i was astonished to see those words secure instead it's for the printer star prime minister i think now to make a public statement about that if he did say those things then he's got to explain it if he didn't go on record and probably explain what was and wasn't said um quite quite a long quite a long uh coverage of this on here this was this publication by the daily mail over the weekend um okay i'm just it's it's i'm trying to pick out what i don't want to read all of this because it's very very long i'm trying to find uh the most significant most important parts of it i will put all of these out on social media afterwards fundamentally this is uh ben wallace says daily mail story claiming boris johnson would rather see bodies pile high than order thought toward lockdown is ridiculous he continued fundamentally the prime minister's actions have been a steady and deliberate lifting of lockdown a roadmap the vaccination program with 62 of all adults vaccinated over half of all adults in the uk that saves lives it comes as the uk's most senior civil servant is expected to indicate that he has not cleared mr johnson's former advisor dominant comment over the so-called chatty rat leak of plans for a second lockdown cabinet secretary simon case has said that the so-called chatty rat leak inquiry is going is ongoing in a clear indication that the source or sources haven't been identified it's all the public administration and constitutional affairs committee hope the committee will understand i'm very constrained in what i can say given the security classification of the exercise of the leak inquiry what i can say is the investigation is ongoing and this is a clear indication that the source or sources haven't been identified so i think the reason i'm frowning at all this is because it's all getting very it's all quite confusing i find that more and more with the news actually mr commings has accused mr johnson of seeking to block the investigation after learning that a close friend of his fiance carrie simons has been implicated i claim the prime minister denied in an incendiary blog post mr commons went on to say mr case had told mr johnson that he don't need neither he nor the number 10 director of communications was the corporate okay so general gist of things is things are leaking out including an allegation that he said bodies would he would prefer bodies to be piled high which he denies simultaneously dominant commings and he have fallen out and the papers are reporting that he is or intends to leak things including text message exchange between mr johnson and james dyson the allegation about bodies piling high no one seems to know where it came from in a word a mess an absolute mess and not made any clearer by news reports from what i can see let me have a quick look at the bbc on this yeah it's pretty much the same mixed in with a story on dominant commings lax launches attack on p.m.'s integrity the pile high comments are said to have been made at the end of october when the government announced it would be a second lockdown bbc political editor laura consburg says at the time the prime minister was reported to have had big concerns about the implications of another lockdown okay i'll tell you what let's we'll come back when we when this becomes a little bit clearer we'll come back to it next week because i'm reading i've been reading a few stories about this and nothing makes much a great deal of sense but to summarize we've got a mixture of dominant commings allegedly going to leak various things about the prime minister a leak that the prime minister said let bodies pile high which nobody seems to know where it came from um and dominant commings lax's attack on p.m.'s integrity those three things are floating around at the same time um so i suppose we're going to without lack of clarity with lack of clarity from the press we're going to have to keep guessing about what all that's about okay um cure starma i want to talk about cure starma this evening and the first thing to say really is that there isn't looking at him i've been looking at cure starma reading about cure starma pretty much all day well for a great chunk of today a couple of things jump out one he is portrayed as something of a saint a if you look at his wikipedia page for example in sharp sharp contrast to my own which portrays me as anything from an idiot to a monster to both he is portrayed as saintly on on wikipedia i've watched interviews with him and not only is he rather uninteresting as a character the press it jumps out screams out at me that the press are very very kind to him i go very very easy on him and the only things that really that really stand out to me in terms of his political career he seems to have either avoided much controversy or he is teflon or as is my own conclusion he neither takes a position on this side or on that side i've said this about him before and this in looking into him in much greater detail as i have today that's something that is really really evident he has taken he was let's just have a little bit look back on his career before he was labour mp and he went to the front bench of the labour party very quickly became mp in 2015 for a london seat went to the front bench very quickly he became the shadow brexit minister and as shadow brexit minister he called for a second referendum a couple of articles i've picked out to look at it's one from 2019 where he said where the headline this is from the mirror and he said the headline is kirstamer demands second referendum in bombshell intervention labour's brexit chief today publicly demanded a second referendum from the party's talks with tereza main a major intervention so kirstamer warned it will be impossible to get any deal through parliament without a public vote attached he warned up to 150 labour MPs will refuse to back a deal unless they can put it back to the public with the option to cancel brexit and remain in the EU now one thing notable about that is that he did want a option on a second referendum to cancel brexit altogether but was very clear that there should be no option to leave with a clean break in other words a no deal brexit should not be an option even in this role he never quite this is something about him that just keeps coming across he never quite you never quite know what it's difficult to describe his language is always is always very vague and he's the same he's now if he's chopped he's chopped and changed on immigration or on on brexit he went from that position where there should be no second referendum to we have to accept the results and he's saying these two things simultaneously we have to accept result and there should be a second referendum we shouldn't be able to have a no deal brexit but we should be able to cancel brexit but we have to accept the result and this he will say at the same time and this is an absolute this is the only consistency within his political career he's contradicts himself mid-sentence and that shows up time and time again it's a similar thing with immigration i'll give you a couple of quotes that he of from him on immigration over the years we must reduce immigration we must sell immigration as a positive and now his latest is we must overhaul our entire immigration policy so back in there's an article here from 2016 saying it has to be reduced and that he sounds quite quite serious about that and he accepted and he accepted and this is again part of his inconsistency in keeping with his sometimes insistence that we accept the result of the brexit referendum we must accept he said the end of freedom of movement a couple of years later he's saying we must protect freedom of movement but we must accept the result of the referendum now he's saying that there has to be a completeness the latest from him that there has to be a complete overhaul of our immigration system he doesn't given details of what that will be but we have to have a complete overhaul he'll talk then about ending migrant detention centres and being kinder to migrants this is a kind of language he uses so it's been a little bit frustrating to be honest reading about him today and trying to put a little bit like the the Boris body's piling high story you know quite you read it and you read it and you read you not stop quite able to put your finger on anything now i find this more and more with politicians and with the media and i think it's a huge part of what's actually wrong in this country and a loot a huge part of why people are so confused and so unclear about everything that's going on it's a little bit like the coronavirus transitions that we've been going through and the language being used and the confusing positions being put forward such as so and so many number deaths from covid went to deaths with covid went to deaths within 28 days of a positive test the language changed people got really confused you'll see them on you'll see the politicians on television telling you if you have other illnesses don't think that you can't go to the doctor or to the hospital you must hospitals are open for everybody despite the panic we're open for everybody but try going try going go try getting a doctor's appointment you won't get one you may get a video consultation and this is i've seen this happen um to someone close to me recently a video consultation first a i mean a dismissal here it takes some painkillers to will refer you to the hospital you get a letter from the hospital telling you to phone the hospital you phone the hospital they have a chat with you tell you that you have to go off for an assessment again to see if you are eligible for a hospital appointment you have to jump through hoop after hoop after hoop after hoop for anything not covered right meanwhile you're being told go to the doctor everything is as it normally is but it isn't and things are closed but the messages keep going every this is i like clarity i think you probably know this about me by now i like clarity i like to know where things stand i don't like evasive and vague language because i know what it means it's usually to cover something up it's usually a because people don't know what they're doing there's chaos so when people don't know what they're doing language becomes evasive and language becomes vague when language is contradictory it's usually because whatever the truth is someone doesn't want you to know what the truth so we get language that is contradictory this is absolutely all over kirstama all over him it's all over the news in general lately and i've read a couple of stories out to you in recent live streams and i've read them to you directly and they make no sense it makes no sense we're being we're being lied to we are being lied to there is evasion and inconsistency and contradiction across the board in politics and in the media and this is personified in kirstama in his absolute lack of clarity his absolute lack of conviction his absolute lack of courage to take a position one way or another is evident throughout his career before he became labour mp he was head of the cps and couple of little controversies surrounding him during that time involved for example jimmy savill either he is teflon or the the press is kinder to him than it would be to someone else because of course he's the labour labour leader and the press is so engaged in an apologetic for that side of politics so there's an article here from this son in 2020 it's entitled what was the labour leader's involvement as head of public prosecutions in the jimmy savill scandal so after qualifying for the bar in 1987 secure acted exclusively as a defense lawyer specializing in human rights issues in 2008 he was appointed director of public prosecutions and head of the crown prosecution service holding these roles until 2013 he approved decisions on high profile legal legal cases including the shooting of john charles de mezzas who was killed by metropolitan police in 2005 secure was also involved in the case relating to the death of newspaper vendor in tomlinson in the 2009 london riots after leaving the role of dpp he was selected to be the labour party's parliamentary candidate for holborn and st pancreas in 2014 he was elected in the 2015 general election with a majority of 17 000 after jeremy corbin's reelection as party leader in 2016 so cure accepted an appointment to become shadow brexit secretary now how was he involved in the jimmy savill case investigations into the horrific acts committed by jimmy savill began before cure starmer took the role of dpp in 2008 a few months before he took on the role at the crown prosecution service sussex police launched an investigation into a possible sexual assault but took no further action as the complainant did not wish to give evidence in 2009 the cps reviewed four sexual assault claims against the disgraced tv presenter but felt there was insufficient evidence with which to proceed the cps came under fire for their decisions not to prosecute and while the labour leader had no involvement in the decision not to prosecute he commissioned a review of the service led by allison levitt qc secure apollot revealed failures at the heart of the cps cps and issued an apology saying a fundamental shift was required as the nation cannot afford another savill moment in five or ten years first of all there are several moments going on all over the country all the time and secondly i'm not seeing a passionate demand for prosecutions of the rape gangs that are still operating with impunity across the country to be brought to justice by he had the backbone he could and should be doing that but that's the only real scandal i can find involving him as when he was head of the cps it is all really rather vague but one thing that does just scream out i'll stop talking about him now but one thing that does absolutely scream about him is that there is no firm position his language is evasive and vague and it has been throughout his political career he has gone from we must reduce immigration to we must talk well about immigration to we must overhaul immigration he has gone from we must have a second referendum while simultaneously saying we must respect the result of the referendum we must understand that the british public want less immigration which is part of why they voted to leave the european union to we must protect freedom of movement after we leave the european union all of this he is saying in the space of a few years in short he has no courage of conviction and he cannot be trusted a bit like the media that reports on him speaking of the media and reports was anybody at the london rally march for freedom over the weekend i have seen a few videos which make which looks like a really really rather large crowd there i found a couple of press reports on this and if you go if you simply google i googled freedom march london and what comes up are the headlines anti lockdown protesters defy restrictions in central london eight police officers injured clearing crowds after march eight police officers hooked up their bottle thrones at anti lockdown march anti lockdown protesters defy restrictions again different place different posts not the same i'm not reading the same one twice thousands march in london against lockdowns thousands protests against vaccine passports and lockdown in london eight officers injured policing anti lockdown protests in london six arrested amid massive anti lockdown protests in london but of course let's have a look at the bbc's and by way of contrast i decided to have a look at the black lives matter rally or one of black lives matter rallies that took place in 2020 during lockdown and when all the covid restrictions were in place and compare that with the bbc's report on the one at the weekend but if you were there please do let me know send me a message now let me know how many people you think were there what went on and i'll read out those messages so here's the here's the bbc on saturday's march an anti lockdown protest in which eight police officers were injured will be raised with senior bosses with utmost urgency a policing leader has said demonstrators hurled bottles at police as they attempted to disperse crowds in hide park on saturday evening photos on social media showed a female officer bleeding from a cut to her head while another suffered a similar wound home secretary pretty battal condemned the senseless violence and wished the injured officers a speedy recovery the metropolitan police said two officers were taken to hospital but the injuries are not believed to be serious the protest which also took place on oxford street came almost two weeks after covid-19 lockdown restrictions were eased police said five people were arrested for offenses including assault on officers and public order offenses so if you go down through the article you'll see a consistent theme offenses offenses offenses police heart offenses now let me go to a article from june 2020 headline black lives matter protests held across england hundreds of people have gathered for black lives matter protests in cities across england peaceful protests took place in london coventry and newt castle the latest in a series of anti-racism demonstrations in recent weeks while the gatherings are in breach of coronavirus lockdowns many in the crowds wore masks and observed social distance and guidance in london protesters assembled at speakers corner in hide park amid a heavy police presence another group of people marched from voxel to parliament square around 300 gathered in the center of coventry the protest was organized after an incident in the city's broadgate on night june where two black men were said to have been chased by a group of coventry city fans celebrating the club's promotion and in the same vein as you go down through it in the same vein that you'll see offenses offenses offenses throughout the report on saturday's march you will see a saintliness about the black lives matter protests stories of black people being attacked anti-racism marches these are all all wonderful people protesting against terrible racism aren't they isn't it great all this lovely solidarity but people marching they don't give a number by the way on saturday no attempt at a number on the bbc report they do give numbers on the black lives matter reports but if you if you read them you can just it's staring you in the face the different tone the different language and the pictures they show are showing people holding up signs all racists love yourself so you can love others all racist sachet away don't get up stand up don't give up the fight stop pretending your racism is patriotism that's a good one that's a good picture for them to get in there no justice no peace silences violence black lives matter pictures from the other one blinded by your mind open your eyes see through the lives so there there's a real attempt and quite a successful one actually to paint the marches in london on saturday as conspiracy theorists and the black lives matter people as saints nothing new nothing new there at all okay i'm going to go to this i want to see some of the comments and yes somebody saying how can you observe social distance and at a rally who is this okay between 750 000 to a million rumors are there was 1.2 million there i was on the march with some other members the police started the after-march violence in ho hide park 275 000 the numbers coming through okay let's have some questions what with and with everything that's happening can for a bit and restore normality if elected join the next general election and it took decades it really did take decades to get into this what it will take to get out of it is firm strong leadership and courage and i say courage because i think with i think the lack of for example kerstarmer the lack of clarity from him the lack of consistency from him is a lack of courage he is the kind of leader who is led rather than doing the leading i decided a long time ago that i was never going to be able to please everyone and if you try to do that it's a mugs game and in this job in this role you have to accept that no matter what you do someone's going to be unhappy with you someone's going to be upset no matter what decisions you make same someone's going to be unhappy unhappy with you and someone's going to be upset so all you can do is stand by your own convictions and persuade people to come with you that's what a leader should do and that's the courage that is lacking in both kerstarmer and in many respects in borris johnson because borris johnson has been similar in many many ways he too has chopped and changed on immigration for example and its immigration is an issue that people do chop and change on because they know that the media is going to jump all over them with this it's an issue that the media and the left-wing media particularly the left-wing commentators and the word racist will be attached to it so borris johnson is is little bit no better in fact he has chopped and changed on immigration as well we want and need clarity and courage in leadership positions in this country we are tired of people who will stand up and repeat politically correct sound bites in order not to upset anyone it's never going to work you're never going to not upset someone but you're also if you if you take that line if you take that line where i will say what this audience wants me to say on a monday and say what this audience wants me to say on a tuesday all you are doing is getting through it in personally as unscathed as you can get through it there is nothing you are going to change you're not going to make anything any better you're not certainly not going to bring normality back into society or to this country you are merely trying to get through your own tenure your own time with as little damage as possible and i think that's what politicians have been doing for a long time i think it's what kia starmer is doing i think it's what borris johnson is doing we need courage and we need clarity we need someone who is not going to back down who is going to stand and take the punches and still maintain their position with that then yes we can get normality back and the reason i believe that more even than i always have is like i said at the top of this at the start of this live stream what we see the manipulation of what we see on the internet and on the media is not what people are thinking out there in the real world they are genuinely genuinely not normal you know you use the word normal the people still are normal they still do want to live in a sane society and many of them still do live in a sane society so yes with a bit of strong courageous leadership we can turn this around and i think turn it around quite quickly someone who is willing to go out and have a consistent position who is willing to say what is evidently and obviously true to the vast majority of normal people absolutely you can turn this around very very quickly but you have to you have to have the courage of your convictions you have to maintain a consistent clear evidence based position and you will if you do that bring the normal majority with you and you can turn this around quite quickly and standing on the doorsteps and talking on the doorsteps has in fact reinforced my belief in that it has strongly reinforced my belief in that we can the country is still sane it really is but the media manipulation the social media manipulation would have us believe that that's not the case it's not nearly as bad as you might think it is when you get out there and talk to people on the doorstep okay i'm getting some answers in so Essex Andy says there were between 750 000 to 1 million people uh James says that son was going down and the police wanted to go home so they thought they could clear the park using their buttons uh and again i've had i've had a couple of people now saying 750 000 to a million and i've seen that consistently across across various posts um and people showing videos taken at the time okay so it seems to me it seems to me having not been there it seems to me that the likelihood is that this was quite a large march the bbc not even attempting to give a number tells me that that's that's possibly possibly likely um and it's it's good to see it's good to know i saw i think it was i think it might have been uh no it was Hugo talks i think he he said uh on a video last week that there has been a toning down of stories about coronavirus and i i can see that myself i can see that myself this evening and he wondered and suspected that this is because of marches and that if we tone it down a little bit people will perhaps with it not being in their face every five minutes every day the likelihood is that numbers on marches will be lower uh and that's his suspicion as to why the rhetoric on covid has been toned down in the press and it really really has it really has i'm genuinely surprised when i come onto the bbc tonight to see that the top story is funding of p.m's flat refurbishment to be reviewed the top five coronavirus stories that i i usually give you on here this sort of little top five that's been put together every night every night since this began by the bbc isn't there for the first time since this started no it's not it's not that top five coronavirus stories isn't there and there is a noticeable noticeable injection of other stories covering the front page now let's have a look at the india story so a coronavirus variant identified in india is being investigated by scientists across the world however it is not yet known how far it has spread or whether it is driving the deadly second wave of covid in india itself so viruses mutate all the time producing different versions or variants of themselves most of these mutations are insignificant and some may even make the virus less dangerous but others make it more contagious and harder to vaccinate against this variant officially known as b1617 was first detected in india in october simple testing is not widespread enough across india to determine how far or quickly it is spreading but there have been over the last week and it goes on to say that the little very little is actually known about it but there have been the stories about and you've seen i've seen images of and stories showing us that bodies are piling up on the streets in india and you've got mass cremations and so this has been really ramped up and all of a sudden now it's simply it's dying down again another story on the bbc about from yesterday a headline india covid patients dying without oxygen amid deli surge for the fourth day in a row india has set an unwelcome world record for new coronavirus infections with 349,691 more cases in the 24 hours to sunday morning and another 2,767 lives lost hospitals are overwhelmed in deli and there's been another lockdown and speaking of another lockdown reuters reports that germany's coronavirus infection rate rose at the weekend despite stricter restrictions as finance minister olaf schultz cautioned he did not expect moves to ease co-ops before the end of may germany is struggling to contain a third wave of infections with efforts complicated by the more contagious b117 variant which first emerged in the uk and a relatively slow start to its national vaccination campaign there's been a theme to this stream this evening and there's been a theme that i noticed more and more over recent weeks and months and i'm going to repeat myself again and that is absolute luck of clarity absolute chaos in the news absolute inconsistency changes in language a hyping up of an issue only for it to be dialed down the next day i saw someone say a few days ago on on twitter that 250,000 people die a year from diarrhea in india and yet this has never made a headline but here we have and i'm not downplaying the deaths of 2,767 people but india is a country of over well over a billion people and relatively speaking 2,700 deaths is not when you consider that 250,000 seeming that figure is accurate die from diarrhea every year or they're about 2,000 deaths in a country like india is not a statistic that warrants the media coverage it has had over the last few days which now we see is dying down a little bit just like media coverage of covered full stop is dying down a little bit and this is the first night the first night since this started in over a year that the bbc is not doing its collection of coronavirus uh it's not at least it's not on the front page something very very odd going on there really is and a complete complete lack of again i've just just confusion we're confused i'm confused the country is confused james again it was a massive demonstration probably the biggest one i've ever been on and i've been on dozens okay tell me a question about something else what are your thoughts on the justifiable shooting of a 16 year old girl in america who's about to stab another teenager here we go again policing i mean i wrote my sunday column yesterday about how joe biden is throwing police has thrown every police officer in america under the boss and he really really has it is shocking jury sequestered or not it is shocking to read of a u.s president saying i hope we get the right verdict i'm praying for the right verdict it is shocking to hear members of the american political machine say that black lives matter need to be if the verdict doesn't go the right way then they need to be perhaps even a little bit louder in their protests next time remember black lives matter we're looting and destroying and people died all over america and their last time they got angry about something and this is absolutely encouraged not only by members of congress but by the u.s president and this is a repeated pattern it is entirely expected for police to use lethal force in a scenario like this if not lethal force then certainly force in a scenario like this to prevent serious harm or death to a member a member of the public it is expected that the police would use force to bring that to prevent that from happening to prevent that harm or death to a member of the public from from happening every time now i don't know why police people join the police force in america these days it cannot cannot be a recruiting tool for the police in america for any of their forces and this consistent demonization of police for false reasons so the police deserve to be criticized for things like rutherham for example they deserve many of them deserve to be sacked and prosecuted for things like rutherham but in this instance in these back lives matter cases it's a demonization based upon a lie it is a demonization pushed by radical neo-communist groups violent radical neo-communist groups and it's an absolute pylon on the police a pylon that is encouraged and assisted by members of congress and even the u.s president it's a demonstration of and all of this all of this to me all of the vague language all of the inconsistencies all of the hypocrisies the extraordinary scenario where a u.s president phones up the family a phone up george floyd's family is saying he's praying for the right verdict this is an extraordinary scenario all of this together it's a it's it's that science fiction film that i talk about it's a complete breakdown of order a complete breakdown of normality a complete breakdown of the justice system that we used to know all bets seem to be off everything seems to go out the window and we don't know what's going to happen next we don't know whether we're facing another lockdown a lot of people assume that we are we're in a very very very strange very alarming extraordinary time when nothing is quite what it seems we're in a even in a world of smoke and mirrors people are confused but they are still sane people do know that there's something very very wrong there's something very wrong with the what's happened for the last year and a half are politicians there's something very wrong with the messages coming from politicians something very wrong with the press there's something very wrong with the notion that members of congress in america should be advocating and encouraging and and agreeing with violent mobs in the streets people do know that there's something wrong people are still sane but the top are those who govern us the elite the media elite the government elite it's smoke and mirrors but people do know that they do know that and that's why i say if we can get some clarity back if we can get consistency if we can get honesty we can turn this around there's just one more thing i want to do before i go and then i said last week i was asked about russia and ukraine and just to give a quick up to date as up to date a because we know that troops have been russia has been has been placing troops in and around uh okay i'll i'll read you the the latest just very quickly later story on this because this is the up to date on this because russia has started pulling back troops so russia announces from reuters russia announced on thursday was ordering troops back to base from the area near the border with ukraine calling an end to a build-up of tens of thousands of soldiers that had alarmed the west the currencies of russia and ukraine rose sharply after the announcement signaling relief among investors that just hours after russia also ended war games in Crimea the peninsula it occupied and annexed from ukraine a confirmed pullout of troops brought in on top of the permanent contingent will likely be welcomed by western countries that had been expressing alarm at the prospect of further russian intervention in eastern ukraine russian backed separatists have been fighting the ukrainian government in the region since 2014 the ukrainian president spokeswoman said that russia had more than 40 000 troops deployed on ukraine's eastern border and over 40 000 in Crimea around 50 000 of them were new deployments Moscow has not provided any troop numbers okay but in short russia has now started to pull back troops from the region okay so what is my view on it my view on it is we stay out of it let's worry about our own people we have enough to worry about inside this country and my priority is that i'm glad just nobody wants outright war on the eastern edges of europe if if if russia is pulling back troops and tensions have been eased that's obviously good news but to be honest with you i've no strong feelings on it one way or the other we should stay out of it and sort out our own country and fix our own country that's about us as much of it i promise i'd come back on that and that's as brief and as clear as i can be on it okay well five minutes over let me see if i've got any other question that i can answer nice and quickly how do you write john kane how do you think they would feel if we had for a britain went on a march but i see me mean the press and the police well i think john we know how that would be portrayed first of all they would if there were thousands of us they would say there was 20 of us then they would say far right protesters stop trouble cause countless levels of fear and damage and oh look at them look at these far right protesters spreading coronavirus in the cities even though there's only 20 of them you get the idea um somehow i think we'd get more of a we'd get a rather more negative coverage than black lives matter have gotten okay thanks everyone for joining me just to finish it's we are we are in the absolute
