LBC's Top 10 moments of the decade | Best of

I'm so sorry that the British media I'm a part of has let down Nick and Chris, Alistar, Mike, Adam, Grant, Paul, Jason, Stevie, James and everyone else we're going to talk to. From now until one o'clock in the afternoon they have been sitting in what is supposed to be a functioning democracy with free and transparent media and they have been sitting there watching their livelihoods, watching the clock tick in their companies and in the financial security of their families while thieves like Liam Fox march around the country claiming to know what they are talking about, while con artists and charlatans make mischief and shysters like Jacob Riis Morgan David Davis and Boris Johnson and the Dean Tories and everyone else, the pretty blue tail and Steve Baker and whoever, sitting in the studios insisting that everything is going to be fine and that no deal is better than a bad deal and people like it and yes, I'm angry and people like it.

I like Nick, although I think it bothers me a little because his accent makes me, people like this who are homesick, they're watching this happen and they think it's our job, it's the politicians' job, it's the press's job, it's the media's job, it's not their job to do this, their job is to get industrial heating equipment. from Germany and installed on British construction sites at tea time, our job is supposed to be looking after people, telling people what's going on to keep the message clear and indisputable and what have we done, what have we done, We've put the hecklers on stage, we've let the clowns take control, we've given the liars the spotlight and this keeps happening because the nastiest criminals of all are the ones with the most power in the media, the owners and the editors of the Daily Mail and the Sun, the Express and the Telegraph go on blithely talking about No Deal when it's going to screw people over on a scale this country has never seen in peacetime and you know what I still can't understand? ?

It's optional, it's a choice it's voluntary yes, nice, sure, no, yes, I'm just worried that you're talking about a global elite, but you seem to be very far away, oh, really, oh, that's good, thanks to you and Tony Blair, a private investigator, are the The same coin you start with each side so you know, let's make your appearance surpass Rodney Rodney, tell me what my links are, the puzan, continue, please wait, yes, you are, you are, you are in LBC, you have the opportunity to expose me. the nation in terms of you, wow sir, I don't have the means to find a link, so how dare you come on the radio and accuse me of that if you have no evidence to back it up.

How dare you? They will eventually come to light. You will be who you think you are to go around making accusations like that that are based on nothing. Sorry, that's really completely ridiculous, isn't it? And let me tell you. You are something different from Tony Blair. I spent 20 years working in the private sector. He had a proper job before I got into politics. There are no comparisons with Rodney, but between Blair and me I don't know what people call me, but to call me part of the group. The world's elite is frankly ridiculous. How much did you spend on your lunch today?

How much did you spend on your lunch today? Rodney, did you eat it? Rodney, I'm not having lunch today, I had bacon for breakfast on the way out and I won't eat for another 12 hours because I'm busy doing things Rodney you know I'm not in New York I've been to Lhasa Rodney you're a waste of time you come and make accusations that you just can't back up, I think frankly It's quite insulting, it's always better in life when you attack people to have some evidence confirming whether you have personally been affected by austerity. Well, I think the whole country has.

I'm asking about you. Well, it's not about me, it's about my questions, how did you do it? have you been affected, have you been negatively affected? Well, what I would say is that we have had an article, many people have a terrible time with hysteria. Eddie, I'm not laughing, I'm just questioning your question because well, leave the questions to Yo, what's the answer to mine? My answer is that we have all been affected by the decisions we had to make, but what we have done is limit those difficult decisions. We have made sure to direct the money to those with lower incomes.

It would be nice, wouldn't that be saying that it hasn't affected you? Why do I just believe? I don't think that's a good question. I know well what it means. I won't comment on your answer. Let me ask you. A different question, this money that you talked about today for the police, 100 million pounds, is only for one year, right? and it is far below what the police themselves have asked for. What we're doing is we're targeting specific areas where what do you think the police would do in the event of a knife crime? They say it's not enough.

What we have done is target areas where there are particular problems with the knife. I'm not asking where it's spent. I'm talking about the amount, well I think a hundred million is a significant investment this year and we will also put more money into police budgets this autumn, but we recognize that there is a specific problem with knife crime, that terrible things are happening In our country. the streets are fair and we need to do more, so the 300 million that the police want we will look at the police budgets along with all the other budgets in the spending review for the next three years and that is an appropriate time to look at them, but because this is an exceptional issue, we recognize how concerned the public is, how difficult it has been for many families to find that additional investment, we have found additional money from the reserve to pay, and this year do you see any link between the austerity that you have not personally suffered and the knife crime that you are now trying to stop.

I think there are all kinds of factors that have led to increases in knife crisis territory. One of the things we grabbed is austerity, one of the factors that has led To increase my certainty, we need more police on our streets, that's why we're investing that extra money, but Eddie, you know you're answering a question, let me give you a full answer, which is that we have to respond to what is happening in our country now that you have made sure that we are addressing the problems, know the people who caused the knife crimes and the people with knives, let's make it clear that there is a responsibility of the people who have been involved in these crimes. activities there is no link in your opinion, that is the question I have asked you and you have not yet answered.

I will ask you again: is there a link between the government's austerity program and the rise we have seen in knife crime? Don't know. I do not have a clear view of what the causes of the increase in knife crime are. It is something that we are looking at across the government to examine what the causes are. What can we do to help? How can we address these problems? But I think it is wrong to always say that it is precisely about the money that one spends on a service, it is also about how we spend it, how we get the

best

results and part of the money that we are investing today will be used for intelligence.

We lead policing to make sure we are tackling this problem in the right way, but Eddie, the answer to all of Britain's problems is not simply to spend more public money. Many of these problems are deeply rooted and we need to think about different ways to address them. Thus, for example, the Minister of the Interior has launched an early intervention programme. We are looking at what more can be done in schools. We are analyzing what can be done through the health service. Why did we have to tighten our belts? to tighten our belts let's not spend too much again if you are interested in talking about 2008 let's see what the Chancellor talked about today growth the growth forecast the independent growth forecasts that the one on which the government is based is as good as it It was in 2009, so you are complaining about the record of the last government and your growth this year will be 2009 levels.

I mean, we are facing several problems, we are facing a global slowdown. and we say that, Germany, for example, has lower growth forecasts in the United Kingdom, we also have a problem with the limbo around Brexit and one of the things I am very interested in doing is getting more support for the Brexit deal. Prime Minister so that we can get on with it and we will be able to unleash business investment, but I fully acknowledge Eddie that we need to deliver growth in this country and it is one of the things we are focusing on in the spending review: how can we make sure that the money we are investing in projects like infrastructure is actually going to generate economic benefits for these groups, as bad as I say and, in fact, the obr referred to this, there is a global slowdown underway.

I don't think the global problems with trade have helped. I believe there is more we can do in this country to unleash economic growth. I think we need to build more houses. There were a number of announcements in the spring statement about this, so the slowdown was more than just a slowdown in 2008 and it was Labour's fault, but this slowdown is global I didn't say the slowdown was Labour's fault. I said the overspending of public money that led to such a high deficit was Labour's fault. I recognize that the financial crisis was a global phenomenon that affected the US.

It affected Europe and it affected the United Kingdom. The problem was that the Labor government spent in good times and bad and left us with a huge deficit. What do you think having another referendum on the EU is a very, very, very bad idea, but people can change their minds? Isn't that right, but you were told in the 2016 referendum that your vote would be implemented and the reality is that the vote must be implemented? What about the people who changed their minds between then and now? I don't think people have changed their minds. I talk to me, that's true the other way, although Eddie, oh I see, but certainly they talk to the people I talk to you, many of whom remain vated, they say please Liz, just get on with this, no They want another year or more of limbo asking the same question again, they just want to hand it over so people can change their minds, but only if they go from staying to leaving, but the point is that I have changed my mind in favor of what people voted for what we are.

What we're talking about is a bunch of people who haven't changed their minds, most of the people campaigning here on the university greens aren't people who have changed their minds, they're people who don't like what what others think and have decided to campaign against this is not a massive revolt of people who voted for brexit, they are people who supported staying and are not happy with the result, well, people like you who have changed their minds and He simply wants to express his opinion to everyone. I bet they haven't changed their minds very well, you can go ask them, well you're closer, have you talked to any of them?

I was in a hurry to get to this interview Eddie, but not in a hurry, let me ask you about what Boris just a little bit, but I'm not complaining, I blame Kathy Newman at Channel 4 who kept me locked up in Parliament. I'll protest to her the next time she sees her. I want to ask you why we are talking about knife crime and police resources. Boris Johnson. This morning he was an lbc and they asked him about police resources. This is how he chose to answer the question: An enormous amount of money, an enormous amount of police time is now being devoted to these historic crimes and all this nonsense, and you know, it's £60 million.

I saw they were spitting on the wall, you know, some research into historical child abuse. Any ideas? I think it is very important that we investigate historical child abuse and it is interesting that the level of reports of child abuse has increased and more children are coming forward. because you're hearing about these cases, I think it's vitally important, that's not to say that I don't think there are areas where resources can be prioritized and I think I wouldn't suggest that historical child sexual abuse is one of them, but I do think Treat the knife crime problem we have at the moment should be an absolute police priority.

What effect do you think it would have on someone who has suffered child abuse but has not reported it and can fully understand the reasons why they do so? There may not be a former foreign secretary here and let's be honest, a hopeful Conservative leadership talking about historic offences, all this nonsense and money behind the wall and let's not go away, I mean, I think people know what the word, knock down the wall in this context. What do you have to say to Boris Johnson about how he expressed himself well? I think people should be able to express themselves in the way they see fit.

Boris is an MP and he has the right to give his opinion, as I have already said. I don't agree with that, but I'm not going to go around saying that people shouldn't say things because I think one of the problems we have in Britain is that a lot of the things they saypoliticians or the public end up with a huge culture of talking about what they said instead of talking about the real problems, and a real problem for me is those children or adults who have suffered that egregious abuse by making sure that we address it, without talk about Boris Johnson Richards.

In it, Richard, what would you like to say? Hello James. I just want to say that I agree with you to a certain extent. I think any reasonable person knows that most Muslims have absolutely nothing to do with this and you know that it is something fundamental and very important. A very minority group of those of us who are doing this, but I think an apology is bad. What you said before this pejorative person was in this should be it. Jordi apologizes to you and that was a little ridiculous, but why is it different? Why should I be the last one to call?

I apologize for what these murderers did right in Paris because I think the alternative is that there is no apology. Have you apologized? You apologized for the murders in France on Wednesday. Why should I apologize? Well, why was he on a bus with a vulture? No, because they are doing it in the name of their family. What we have done is not their Islam there. could have been doing on behalf of Richards wouldn't mean it was about you. I know, I know, but why haven't you apologized? You can do it now if you want to know there has to be some these these People are committing acts of terrorism in the name of Islam, no, in the name of their Islam.

I know and I want there to be a famine, so if I went and blew someone up now and said I'm doing it in the name of Richards everywhere. You would know how to apologize if that wasn't the bomber named Richard Reid, have you apologized for him yet? No, you are. I'm really not okay, well tell me why you haven't apologized for the bomber. whose name was Richard because Abbas has to apologize for a terrorist who said he was Muslim, take all the time you want mate okay so these guys are from the Islamic community yeah and the shoe attacker was from the community of people named Richard, we have the feeling that there is some action in the Islamic community.

I don't trust people named Richard anymore, so when are you going to apologize, I'll argue against you when you're being like I'm just trying to make it clear that these people are from the Islamic community, which means you don't understand what It's Ana, what is the Atlanta community. I know Sonny and Cher kill each other every day in this country on a scale nowhere near what happened in France, so what? Do you mean the community? Do you think they are on the same side? Do those people kill each other? Is it Syria right now? No, so what is the Atlantic Islamic community in the country?

Simply all those who have the word Islam in their religious affiliations. even if they actually have murderous intentions towards each other, which is bringing us back - Richard, everyone who has Richard in their passport as part of Richard's community, can admit that they made a mistake, my friend, no, no I'm engaged. I made a mistake, they have to be offensive, we are the Cons, go away. I'm going to interrupt you, Richard, which I think some might consider an act of mercy. There was a vote for Brexit. Would you vote Brexit because you voted Remain in the referendum, has your mind changed?

Well, I don't answer hypothetical questions, but what can I answer. I know I would vote exactly the same way. Well, I voted remain, I voted remain for good reasons at the time. but circumstances move on and I think the important thing now is that I think we should all focus on getting Brexit done. Absolutely the

best

agreement was reached. Background I'm Jeremy Hump when I interviewed him at the conference he said he voted Remain in the referendum he the leading Remain supporter said he would now vote for Brexit because he says George Osborne's economic predictions didn't come true and he said He was fed up with the religious attitude of the European Commission and says he could change his mind.

I don't really understand why you can't. You're the Prime Minister getting us to Brexit, yes, and I'm the Prime Minister making sure I'm going to get Brexit done for the British people who can't stop me from now voting Leave in a referendum because I think when you come I could sit down. here and you could say oh, I would still vote remain or or I vote leave just to give you an answer to that question. I am being open and honest with you. What I did last time was I looked at everything and came to a judgment and I would do exactly the same thing this time, but we are not going to have another referendum and that is absolutely crucial, we are not going to have another referendum, we are going to get the people's vote British and we are going to achieve Brexit and on March 29, 2019 we will actually leave the European Union.

Union, you live in Kensington Donna, yes I do it on my service charge bill and this one is long, this year it's fifteen thousand five hundred and I would feel very resentful if someone got the same thing for free. I feel sorry for those people, but my husband and I work very hard to be able to afford this and for someone to get it for free, it would mean you would move because our council tax bill is very, very high, free of charge, the bill is very, very high so why should anyone get it for free I know it sounds harsh believe me I feel sorry for those people but I work very very hard so this is my husband Donna it sounds harsh you sound harsh I'm not harsh from the heart, but when I pay that kind of money and someone else gets it for free if you put yourself in my shoes you can say that because you don't know that it is enormously expensive.

I know it's a hugely expensive service charge that you'll presumably be able to pay ultimately, but if not direct personal. cost to you, they are not asking you to pay the service charge for these people, I am just suggesting that they are not suggesting anything that I am suggesting, wouldn't it be nice to allow these people who, to be one of the few lucky women that you can do something direct for these people, you want them to be seen but not heard and the council wants to foot the bill for the service charge. Okay, you can use it, but I say you should. it won't be given for free because then my council tax bill will increase even more and be high.

Why would your council tax bill increase due to an act of generosity on your part and the council? Why are the charges a lot of money and anything the council gives for free certain people have to pay for it I heard people ranting and raving saying they gave us a hundred quid back but nothing compared to what we have paid over the years Yes, but these are not additional things, they are things that exist, it is simply about allowing other people to use things that exist, look, you, who have that money and have not burned your house now.

I get it, I get it. I just don't agree with you, Donna, I don't agree with your approach. You know, a lot of people work hard, people who work hard without earning enough money to live in Kensington too and I think that when something extraordinary happens it doesn't always have to be when something extraordinary happens, but this has been an extraordinarily terrible event and it just me. It sounds like it would be a great opportunity to show a little generosity and not even generosity of money in your case, just generosity of spirit. I recently started freelancing a couple of years ago, so it was a big deal for those who took it on. because I was building my business with a customer base etc. but I think it will all be short term, what business are you in?

If you don't mind me asking, I am a self-employed electrician and although with drippers we are getting bigger. and more and as the week goes by, but you know what the short term financial loss will be, they did it to be fair before the vote, they told you there would be no pot. I think so. I was never naive to the fact. that there would be, I mean, I think there would be and I was willing to make that sacrifice just for independence and they just, you know, we control their own laws. I mean, you don't know?

Do you know what I do? Not now? I asked you what law it is. You're really wishing you didn't have to obey anymore. Whichever is correct. Any. Yeah, so give me what shape, bananas, it's not funny, okay? The pounds at the lowest level. it's been around since 1985 and you just say any law and I'm just asking you to name one, we both know bananas were a lie made up by Boris Johnson, remind me which side he was on during the leave campaign, so why the law ? In reality, because he didn't vote, he knew he was going to suffer short-term economic damage, he knew that all of his customers would act like a newly formed electrician company, every single customer in the country will potentially be worse off than before. voting, so I wonder what are those laws that you will no longer have to obey that made you vote for this short-term economic hit.

The name, which is the main reason, is that the main reason you gave me was: A minute ago yeah, can you name one yet? So you voted so you don't have to obey these EU laws you can't name. No, it's more than that, he's a Norman. I mean, you wash your brush, what are you doing? Brussels, you see the guys talking, it's all very, it's very political and I mean, there are these toys outside the crown because we know that the British people decided to leave and you know it's like baking a cake, taking it to work and someone says I don't want a slice and you get all smug about it.

I'm serious, Watanabe, we're trying to examine why you voted the way you voted because now you accept that it's going to cost you money. Use what you expect in the short term. I hate to break it to you, but we won't even be close to signing deals for years, so the uncertainty that is affecting your balance sheet, your order book will continue indefinitely and then I ask you why you did it and then why you took that hit on your own pocket and you say well, because of all those laws that you can't name and then when I ask you what the real reason is, you say because you use this really political mirror that I'm holding up and that you're looking at at what point are you going to recognize what you're seeing? in the reflection you are seeing a man who does not have a good argument there are multiple arguments about immigration they controlled immigration again it is not about it it is not about you know that I am not going to have a phobia, you know that I am not totally multicultural, I have a family in United States, in Bermuda, in Spain and all the immigrants, we, yes, well, the greens are fine, you know, there is nothing wrong, you know, they are the same as you and I looking for the best future for his family, but it's not about that, it's about control, it's about our Prime Minister not having to come to the EU saying he can't do it and he said, I mean, it's the fact that you know that and that's fine. , I have a problem with you if immigration is all you have then you're the cliché you're the walking cliché but what's interesting Ashley I know you won't take this the wrong way what's interesting is that you spend five minutes pretending you have the political argument or the understanding economic conditions and then when all those claims disappear, you are left with foreigners, how has immigration damaged your life, would you say, in its current form?

Well, obviously being a commercial immigration comes at a full price, you know, not just for electricians, there's little evidence that for completely unskilled labor there might have been some wage compression in the care home industry and such. not only unskilled labor in the workplace, but there is actually a shortage of skilled labor. electricians in this country, which is probably why you've become self-employed, so it's not that. What I'm asking for is that all skilled labor is actually in short supply right now, that's one of the reasons we can't build as many houses as we need to in terms of Pinner and the damage that uncontrolled mass immigration has done to your life.

Just give me the headlines walking through the city center and seeing and seeing crowds of immigrants who are not willing to integrate walking through the center. of Pinner and see crowds of immigrants who are not willing to emigrate, are not willing to integrate as much as possible and I call them, they tell us, okay, yes, I mean, how do you think that leaving the European Union is going to disperse those crowds ? Actually, I think we can have more control. about how but they're already here buddy yeah the wheelhouse will add more control to their here so those mobs that annoy you so much when you walk around the city and you see these mobs of immigrants that refuse to integrate now that we're going to leave the European Union what is going to happen to the mobs and I think we can integrate them one clear week and we know that we have the option and we have the authority to do what we want without that, when you have passed it, you will have launched it. your vote because you don't want these people to be here in the numbers they are here, but you think doing so will make them more receptive to integration and friendship, so you message someone saying you don't like them. and you think that makes them more likely to be your friends.

You don't like mobs in themiddle of the city, you know? And that goes with the English gangsters too, okay? Then it's nothing to do. with immigration, then it's just the mobs you don't like and the bananas and all those laws you can't name. I just finished with a quick question when you said it was going to be a short-term economic hit. How long is the short term? I think it's going to be less than five years, each of your clients will be worse off than they needed for half a

decade

and you're happy with that, let's not fight and I hope the business works out.

I really hope so. It grows even though it voted to have fewer customers and less money in its pockets than it already has. I note that in the six key themes you are exploring, one of them is putting the public at the heart of the NHS Natalie Bennett What does that mean? What that means is that we say that the profit motive has no place in the NHS, we shouldn't have done so. For-profit companies involved in the NHS we want to have a publicly owned and publicly owned NHS and what we also want to do is eliminate the market mechanism that is imposing massive costs, you know, both, private financial initiative schemes, the participation of private companies.

Companies are costing us huge amounts of money and marketing lost money. If you look at some of the PFI schemes, they are basically ruining a trust, it's about how much money their clients know well, that's a figure, it depends on how much time is allowed and what. We need what we need to do is restructure the NHS to make sure all the money goes to health so you don't actually know what you're talking about right. The fact is, what we're talking about here is whether you can look at individual hospitals. like st. Barts and all of London in HS are confident that they are looking at massive debts that are building up over the years at which point 100 million is 500 million is fifty billion we are talking billions if you feel good a balloon and if we allow costs if we believe that you do not know Miss Bennet well, it is a question of where you are counting this figure, where you are lying well and what we have to consider is the principle which is the The principle here is that, if we look for example the NHS is currently letting out a huge number of contracts, the current NHS budget is about 110 billion so two billion a week isn't it mmm-hmm but no?

I don't know how much of this could be saved if these PFI initiatives were eliminated. Well, we're not just talking about PFI initiatives, we're also talking about the fact that we are allowing 56 percent of contracts that have been abandoned recently. they have been left in the hands of private companies, they are taking profits from the NHS, if you let me finish the sentence talking about a lot of contracts that are being established, is it for aged care? Now these contracts include end-of-life care and I think if people think about the principle that private healthcare companies make profits from end-of-life care, I think the obscenity of that principle is very clear mmm-hmm and the third key theme is that the Greens will ensure that everyone has a safe and affordable place to live.

Would that be achieved? A couple of things we'd like to focus on here in terms of council housing. We want to build 500,000 social rental homes. That means the city council, well, where you get the money from. Well, what we want to do is. fund that, in particular, by removing the tax relief on mortgage interest for private landlords, we have a situation with private land, those private landlords at the moment are basically getting away with a situation of hugely increasing rents, they are collecting large amounts of housing subsidies, how much would it be? That's worth the mortgage relief for private homeowners, well that's part of the total cost for all of you, but how much will that bring?

I mean, if it was the cost of 500,000 homes, let's start with that, how much would it be? Well, that's you. We have a total cost that will be detailed in our manifesto, so you don't know, no you're not right, so we don't have many of those houses again of course, but wait, it will be financed and the mortgage will be released. from private companies, how much is that worth? What we're seeing in turn in terms of the numbers here. What we have to do is we are actually seeing a total turnover of 2.7 billion 500,000 homes 2.7 what they are made of. plywood, basically what we're talking about is 500,000 new houses and basically every pound spent on this is equivalent to pounds forty, what is the total cost of 500,000 houses?

It is approximately the cost of 60,000 per house. 60,000 pillows because that's what we're talking about. It's about the opportunity for that. I can't include the terrain well. What we're talking about is what we want to see is the possibility of houses being made, so it's not much more than a big 60,000 pound greenhouse, so where's the how? You're going to pay for the land, right? What we're thinking of doing is basically, as you can probably hear, I have a huge cold, I'm really sorry to hear that, yeah, so what we have to do is basically social rental houses, right?

I still don't see how you're going to achieve this at sixty. In reality, you don't know how much it will cost you. Yes, we have a fully-costed program coming out and we really shouldn't. I would be aware of what that cost would be now, yes, so what we're talking about is six billion a year, so the current budget is 1.5 billion a year which will be achieved by taking homeowner mortgage relief. private sector worth six billion pounds. Is that so and are we also considering investing? Yes, we have the total cost figures. You said on a couple of occasions, how much does mortgage relief provide for private animals?

So basically we are talking about an overall savings of A mortgage relief of £4.5 million is worth four point five billion a year and this also includes other things, private homeowners, we are also looking at housing benefit reforms and What we also want to do is set limits on private tenants, yeah, right? I think you might have a little more agenda on this, Natalie Bennett. I think we're talking about a whole range, but personally you may have attached a small rise of red men to the lord, perhaps a little more in retrospect than We're talking about a whole range of mourning issues raining down from the economy from the NHS any unfortunate time we had more good weather, very welcome but unexpected guests in the studio this morning.

I don't know if you were listening to Nigel Farage's phone. I spoke to Nick Ferrari last week, if you were you will have heard this, yes I mean this is the political class coming together using their mates in the media and doing everything they can to stop the U-clip loading and because we have There are few idiots in our party, plus the wait is in every other game, you know, someone somewhere in England says something stupid or offensive on Twitter at midnight and this is considered representative of the opinion of the party that Nigel Farage has with me now.

Let's start with today, yes, and then move on to what you mean about the political class and their friends in the media. We have John Linden Sullivan. I think they tweeted it with humor overnight. I'd rather it be a cancer of you and Gloucestershire. Quite often I wonder if we filmed one if the next ninety-nine would collectively decide that they were not, after all we could conclude that it is not a question of genetics but rather a question of education, you have to admit that they are some fish quite small in the world. The UK machine is not a description you can apply to his small business spokesperson, who this morning turned out to have employed seven illegal immigrants there last year.

Well, they're two different things there. I'm at the festival. I don't know, first People say dumb things, yeah of course we've had more than we'd like, but hey, wait a second, what's gay? One of the other parties. I mean, we just missed when they're here. Nigel, but I'm talking about. What you're saying is that no one ever asks them and that's the point I'm making is that I'm perfectly prepared for us to have a debate about our idiots and our people being offensive, so what's wrong with John Lindh and Sullivan? So from that tweet, he's a very much councilor he's a council candidate I think he's already on the council he's I don't know I haven't heard of his name he hasn't heard it right there's a big difference between being on the ballot electoral and being elected councilor you know that this one comes after the other he is not a us if it is an elected council, is that okay?

I didn't know we had Peter, what's wrong with him? Now he will face a disciplinary charge about whether he is brought into the party to this right was on February 17, I don't know well, when about the spokesperson for the small business that employs seven illegal immigrants, well, I think they be a little careful with that history, they know that he founded a company that is no longer a director of his son's management. They have a great route going. He resigned to come clean as a director of the company three days after the immigration raid. I know yes, he resigned as director after immigration.

I didn't run it, yes, but he wasn't responsible for the day-to-day running. However, I spoke during this morning. He says that they did checks and that they are in dispute with the immigration authorities and that they had gone to appeal, so "We'll have to see how that plays out, but that doesn't make him an idiot, you know, which doesn't make him good." Well, we don't know, you know, let's find out what's going on here, maybe someone in your business made a mistake. I don't believe for a moment that they would have done that, so no, in seven mistakes.

I don't believe for a moment. moment he would have done that knowing he was running as a US candidate in the European elections. My argument, James, is this wherever we have. I found people who had extremely racist and unpleasant views, we unceremoniously removed them. Furthermore, I tried to protect the party by making it absolutely clear that anyone who has been a member of the BMP or organizations like that cannot even join as a member. member and to hold the views of a handful of people as representative, you, Kipp, frankly, are not the truth Well, what about his associations with BMP if we go back to 1997, when he had lunch with a guy named Devon who, as you know, is responsible for writing something amazing.

I mean, his exposure of Jews in the media was called Mindbenders. You were photographed with him. It was reported at the time that you are a man who often used words like nog and the n-word Jeremy Clarkson recently got into trouble in the pub after committee meetings, a month after that lunch he even wrote an article for the far-right Spearhead newspaper suggesting that you and the BMP could go to bed together. How does something like this happen because mr. . Devine was brought to the center of you by the guy at the time he was the leader and he turned out to be something very different and I've never seen him since that day, I know, but the lunch you had with him was after he was ex. yes, I wanted to know why not, why, why someone like him, who had been presented to me as a great academic, was going to make a big difference, who had seen, what he dreams of, a book, his great plan, the origins of normality.

Immigrants I wanted to know what had made someone change their point of view, other than that I haven't spoken to him since, as for the accusations, you know, that's what I said in a pub after the committee meetings, no They will find one more member of that committee who makes that accusation Helen skirt casa well, you just said that I would not find anyone else the founder of your party is Mabel the same ally he was the person who made the accusation no one else has made the accusation Mr. Devon didn't make the accusation, Dr. Sket made the accusation, so in politics you know all sorts of disappointments happen to people and they throw mud, yes of course, what about the mud that's been thrown at the parties of the extreme right with whom you sit? in Europe, the Danish People's Party, the real Finnish party, the Dutch SGP and, perhaps most interestingly, the Lega Nord.

I think you co-chair that group with Yes, I mean Tesco Super, only you described Anders Breivik as someone whose ideas are in defence. of Western civilization, he actually didn't, none of his members did and we expelled him from the group. No, no, you are thinking of Maria Borghese, who went further and said in a radio interview that Breivik had some excellent ideas if Baroni himself, who is his co-president of this group, said that there are brave agitators in defense of civilization western. If you came and met Italy, Poland or Slovakia and listened to the political discourse you would realize how incredibly different it is to what we were considered acceptable in this country, what I have done in the European Parliament is try to draw a line and say that we will not sit with people who we believe areat the extremes, we will sit with people who we believe are at the extremes. have a reasonable and balanced point of view now, let's be honest, we have had a problem in this group with one or two members from the north, why don't you leave it as we could leave it and, in fact, we make sure that mr.

Berg Azio left our group, but I also want to say that you know the Conservative Party had the guy who celebrated the SS invasion of the Baltic States. Now we've said and I'm sure you know this well, why don't you just leave it? We have said that we have said that we will not sit with the National Front and with parties like the Austria Freedom High, we have made it perfectly clear, you know that we are not a party that wants to be linked to the extreme right, but I promise you that if we We look at the partnerships that everyone has to form in the European Parliament, a certain degree of commitment is needed.

Well this is what brings us to the question about the political class that you are referring to in your description of our fears about some of the positions that your clip seems to represent because all your defense so far has been good, we are no different from any other political party and yet your unique selling point to many of your fans and followers is that you are different, so yes, I think the phrase What you use is that members of the political class and their friends in the media, so let's review that you currently write collars for the Express and the Independent every week.

Yes, you've been on Question Time, I think in the last few months more often than anyone else. except David Dimbleby, the prior has reported that some of his medical bills are paid by one of the owners, yes, well, I'm not going to have this, why not? I'm not going to receive threats of defamation, am I? The radio bills have not been paid by anyone, except partly by myself, more than I could pay and the rest by an insurer. Okay, let me take legal action against private parties. I can do it. At this point, it might surprise you.

Not you, I'm busy running an election campaign so I think about that later, okay, too busy to know who's in Gloucestershire council under their own banner. I run a political party, okay, so I run, I don't run the day-to-day... day-to-day management, but I make sure that we stick to our principles and we have, the political class, you know, I was in business. I entered politics motivated above all by a desire and that is not for the UK to be part of a political union booms from the bureaucrats in Brussels now, whether you agree or disagree with that, I have actually given up and sacrificed a huge amount to achieve this because the last deal you were involved in was I believe you resigned as secretary of your company six weeks earlier.

It was dissolved by the Treasury, no, that was the last company of which I was a director. Well, the last company I ran was my own company, which I ran for nine years and which closed with a good reputation. He was not secretary of Farrell's company. I was company secretary, but he resigned for six weeks. It was a non-income job or I wasn't getting paid. They didn't pay me a cent to be company secretary. What to assume? Because they owed Inland 120 thousand dollars. Income, there was no money, I would tell you anything. I did the job, I did a favor for someone in my family, it wasn't paid, you represented yourself as Nigel very effectively as an alternative to cronyism and town spitting, and you were a company secretary. company that was dissolved by the Treasury due to more than one hundred and twenty thousand pounds to the income bad case bad bad Oh, which company would you like to correct? the company has not been dissolved the company at home secondly the company that is not my company in someone else's company sacred I do not have shares in the company I was doing someone a favor hmm without receiving payment the company, far from closing , he actually said that we have a responsibility to make sure that our tax bill is paid and it is paid, it is actually paid from earned income, so the Treasury is getting twice as much money as it would have got in the beginning after that the liquidation order was issued and yet the company is not just a big fair.

I am not certain that the company has not been dissolved. The company still exists. It is active and is dedicated to paying the money it owes after the Treasury issued the liquidation order. Have you ever worked? In private business you know that people are successful and people are successful. I'm about 8 million regular people running small businesses. I bet a lot of them are listening to this now and a lot of them will have had ups and downs, a lot of them will have had cash flow problems, some of them would have had businesses that didn't work out, but a later one did.

I myself, in the private sector, ran my own company for nine years without any difficulty or problem and the point is that I came to do it. This is because I want to get involved in the big political debates and issues of the day and the frustration is that it's not me, you know, asking this because if there's an issue where I go, the only thing everyone wants to talk about is the idiots in the UK, there is never a conversation about idiots in my labor party all five councilors have just resigned over charges of racism in men to be honest i never hear you say anything else and your question over yours and the problem is we are not having a debate. about the Europeans not concerned that we, the Labor Party or the Conservative Party, are spreading racist propaganda, the Conservative Party got them a former BMP activist, Andy, in Lincolnshire. you're calling me a liar if I said your question the reason it doesn't have the same urgency as the u-clip conversation is a matter of quantity there simply isn't the avalanche of intolerance that emerges from other policies that emerges from yours unless the MBs perhaps they are more relevant to you then there is no fear abroad there is no fear at home opinion polls report no significant forms of the nation possibly wrongly fearing Nigel that his party represents a deeply divisive party.

I think I would have racist ideas if you let me finish, let me then move on to that invitation to go abroad and listen to conversations in other countries. Far-right politics are not viewed with as much suspicion as in this country. I recently mentioned your discomfort hearing foreign languages ​​on a train. I pointed out that I got on a train and made several stops and there were a lot of people around me and no one spoke English and I thought you know this is I didn't say I didn't object I felt a little uncomfortable I think it's not really that the problem isn't This of all the countries in Europe is the most tolerant the most tolerant you said I don't feel very comfortable in that situation you don't say that you had a problem.

I didn't feel comfortable now yes, your wife speaks German, what are my children, yes, does that mean you feel uncomfortable and because they can't speak English and the whole point? How do you know those people couldn't? Maybe they could, but I had the distinct feeling that a language was certainly not an option and if you look at the primary school situation in the East End of London, you know where we now have schools where the majority do not speak English. Doesn't that tell us that we have a school? Doesn't that tell us that what we want is a sensible and balanced immigration policy where we want people with skills to come to Britain, but we also want integration into society, what we want and this place you're referring to is that students you are referring to are recorded and recorded as having English as a second language, they are not recorded or recorded as not being able to speak English, it is precisely that, yes, but no one has counted them, so their own children would fit in that category.

Well, I hope a lot of people can speak different languages, but what I want to say is: do we want to? live in an integrated environment, forgive me, what you mean is that the schools in the East End are full of children who cannot speak English, I just want you to recognize that that is not true, what you just said comes from children who are typified. speaking English as a second language would include their own daughters, they come from their mother tongue, painful Germans, they come from homes where English is definitely not the first language and in many cases it is not the language at all, now look, you know, but nobody.

I counted how many people I don't have to say it, it would really be a very useful and useful thing if they did and maybe we would be even more surprised and even more shocked, but the argument or maybe we would realize that the majority of bilingual children in this country are children like yours, well, let's go around to the other side, she took yes, let's talk about immigration, let's talk about Europe, let's look at the European elections. I am making a very simple point: we cannot have any form of controlled migration to Britain and still be a member of the European Union because we have an open door to almost 500 million people and the argument I am making is James I that it would be much better have an immigration policy that would not discriminate, as it currently does, against Indian engineers or Indian doctors.

New Zealand in favor of anyone, regardless of their skill levels or background, coming from southern and eastern Europe and that's the big debate and when Nick Clegg, you know, took me on and I tried to have that debate with him, he He seemed very reluctant at that particular point. involving Cameron and Miliband are a mile away from that debate and I think that is, in fact, at the heart of our relationship with you and I mean, if that was the debate that you had offered to have on this programme, we would have it . Now, but what the caller asked you was why so many people think you're racist.

Yeah, well, I think you know. Yes, we have had our language and part of the answer would be that you are talking about children who cannot speak English as such. first language without mentioning it includes includes your own children I mean, what is racism? You know? It is racism between races. I was talking. I was talking about Don't You Know? Yes. I was talking. Can you say that you are not something if you are not? I don't know what race is about color, is it race about race or about nationality, you know? I made a comment there that was no longer intended to say that I was uncomfortable with the pace and pace of change and the number of I know you were uncomfortable with people speaking foreign languages ​​despite the fact that presumably your own wife does when He called home in Germany.

Yeah, I don't think she talks about her. Tom betrays. You know, I know I might not be allowed to do it. And what about the line? about us not wanting to live next to Romania, is perfectly acceptable. I was asked if a group of Romanian men moved next door to you, would they consider you if a group of German boys made what's the difference? What is the difference? And you know what? the difference, isn't it? I think where the disconnect is, keep in mind in your position what the difference is: we want an immigration policy based on controlling not only quantity but also quality, and we have a problem that, yes, unfortunately those communist countries that I have visited and visited the Roma camps, I have seen the real poverty that people live in and we talk about exclusion in society.

Go and see since the fall of communism what has happened to the Roma communities in those. In the countries they cannot find work, they have nowhere to live and in many cases they have been forced to lead a life of crime and what has happened with an open door is that it has been an open invitation for traffickers. Now we all know this is happening. okay, the Metropolitan Police trafficking is a crime, of course, trafficking is a crime, trafficking people are victims of crime, yes, and the Metropolitan Police, the Metropolitan Police has produced its crime statistics and its eyes fill with tears.

I'm saying let's get this under control, I know. You're saying that about Romanians, but why don't you understand how many people are worried about the fact that you're also talking about them? 32 million people are looking for work in Europe and that big fist that points saying that they are causing the rate at which they come for your work that scares people people who were already here working saddled people that maybe the children go to school their parents they are worried about the idea that they are now being demonized and typified and you shine so softly that it is low slyly ionizing the Romanians and demonizing the Germans not demonizing anyone you just questioned about Romania you started talking about human trafficking humanizing I am demonizing to a political class that has allowed us to have an open door to allow things like this to happen well, so when I say Romanian and you start talking about human traffickers, why didn't you say that people have every right to feel uncomfortable when live next to human traffickers, wherever they come from? why did you say romanians?

I didn't say Romanians. They asked me. They asked me. One question: if a group of Romanian men moved in next to you, would you be worried? And if I lived in London, I think you'd think so. This morning, Nigel reported that you withdrew from ainterview in London Life because there was no makeup art, that's what I feel, you can accuse me of anything, but not that well. I've tried it and I'm delighted that you're so happy. I'm still completely convinced why you sit at a party. with the leader of the Italian legend, member of the Anders Breivik fan club, I am completely into Punk.

I don't understand why you use words like Romanian when describing who you would and wouldn't want to live next door to. Don't know. I understand why it makes you uncomfortable to hear foreign languages ​​when your own wife and children speak them and I don't understand why you talk about problems in primary schools that are caused by children like yours, why don't I tell you. Don't come meet the black and ethnic UKIP people? Hang some of my best fans. How interesting. Did you see the opinion poll that weekend that showed that among the BMI community you support it is now polling at 16%?

We are getting more. The BM voters and the Conservatives and the Lib Dems came on board, so I'll go with you and you'll come with me and you'll hear about the opinion poll also from this weekend which found, I think, that just over 40% of voters they think like that. Your party is racist which is which and that and what you have done in the last 20 minutes I know we have no more I waited an hour but what do you think you have done in the last twenty? minutes to calm the fears of those people made it clear to the people that really controlling the quantity and quality of the people who enter their country is a primary duty of the government and we cannot do it as members of the European Union and, finally, the issue of your expenses in your financial arrangements I heard you, I heard you on the radio say that you would undergo a full audit, you have investigated this on the basis that other MEPs have not, these are the transparency matrices that we all work within.

Do MEPs register, do they register today? Yes, actually they don't. What they do is they have an order to make sure they spend the money according to the rules. Yes, there are no expenses. They say as if there was anything wrong with it, they have an order to make sure they spend the money in their arms with the rules massively this is Patrick O'Flynn director of communications for UKIP and there are political commentators on the daily expo is this a friend in the media or a member of political power there are no expenses these are fixed allocations fee allocations that I have spent according to the rules, so will it go to the audit?

All workers please go, we will make a decision on the mass. Well, yes, no, your insurer and I, I'm very suspicious of the word order. used in that contest, are you okay? Nigel Farage. Okay, thank you for your time and then here. Yes, in the afternoon. There is of course a full list of all euro candidates available on the LBC website. Goodbye, mr. O'Flynn goodbye mr. Farrell, so how much would ten thousand police officers cost well if we recruited ten thousand police officers, men and women, over a four-year period? We think it'll be about three hundred thousand pounds, three hundred thousand pounds, sorry, three thousand police, oh no, I mean, sorry. how much will they cost will cost around eighty million pounds around eighty million pounds right, how do you arrive at that figure?

We arrived at that figure because we anticipate recruiting twenty-five thousand additional police officers at least per year. over a four year period and we are looking at what the average salaries are for police officers generally, but also specifically the policing gaps in London and this will be funded through reversal in some cases. I think capital gains tax cuts, but I'm right. saying that since Jeremy Corbyn became party leader money has also been promised to reverse education spending cuts arts spending cuts sports spending cuts the Conservatives say this money has already been spent, I would say that We have not promised the money to any area;

We have just pointed out that the capital gains tax cuts will cost the taxpayer more than two billion pounds and that there are better ways to spend that money, but as we implement our manifesto process we are saying specifically how we will fund proposals specific and this morning I tell you that we will fund the 10,000 additional police officers using some, not all, but only a part of the 80 million which is the figure, yes, yes, but if I don't understand it, divide 80 million by 10 you get eight thousand a week so what are you going to pay these police officers?

No, we are talking about a four-year process. I don't understand what, what are you dividing eighty million into? for ten thousand it was eight thousand so what are these police officers going to paint? We will pay them the average as it has been carefully thought out, of course, it has been carefully thought out, where were the figures? The figures are the additional cost in the year. one when we anticipate recruiting hundreds and about 250,000 kaseman will be sixty-four point three million two hundred and fifty thousand police officers, men and women, so you will get over ten thousand, you are recruiting two hundred and fifty thousand, you know where we are recruiting two thousand two hundred and fifty and the costs are where to where 250 thousand come from.

I think you said no, no, you're going to show it. You said it because I wrote it. What I say about costs is in years. one we are obviously preparing to recruit but in year two the cost will be sixty-four point three million itself three the cost will be one hundred thirty-nine point one million a year for the cost will be two hundred and seventeen million when year five the cost will be of two hundred and ninety-eight million and that can be more than covered by reversing the police, think well for Gasca you you
