Well, if youre new to the programme and there are lots of people are new to the of people who are new to the programme, we absolutely thrashed sky news on the show last well, last night. And why . Well, because do boring. Not because we dont do boring. Not on watch. I just wont have on my watch. I just wont have it. And to lorena at ten you wont want to miss it. A big two hours to come. We start with my big opinion. I love our Police Officers, but im getting sick to the back teeth of our Police Forces. Remember the absurdity forces. Remember the absurdity of the pandemic with Derbyshire Police flying drones over the countryside to find people out walking . An old lady arrested for sitting on a bench at the seaside drinking a coffee. People apprehended for queuing for sandwiches in farmers markets , people being harassed markets, people being harassed in supermarkets and on trains for not wearing one of those filthy, worthless masks. The filthy, worthless masks. The policing of a bizarre 10 pm. Curfew in pubs. It was all an utter shambles , a stupid utter shambles, a stupid pandemic. Policies which have destroyed the country and enforced by gormless cops. What enforced by gormless cops. What about the pathetic spectacle of Police Officers in wakefield, west yorkshire, sat there at a hastily assembled press conference where local clerics berated an autistic child for accidentally scuffing a copy of the quran. The officers sat there nodding like the churchill dog, lending credence to what was a ridiculous Kangaroo Court and the enforcement of a blasphemy law by the back door. What about cops asking insulate britain nutjobs whether theyd like a cup of tea or a sandwich after theyd glued their hands to the motorway . Or what about to the motorway . Or what about cops dancing on the streets with Extinction Rebellion protesters whose only real ambition is the extinction of the british economy and our way of life. These are the same Police Forces that have wasted thousands of pounds on those absurd, rainbow painted cop cars and raided peoples homes for hurty tweets and unkind facebook posts. Now the officers are doing their best. Its a National Scandal that, while so much focus is on doctors and nurses, pay our bobbies on the beat have been under remunerated for two decades. If i was in charge, i would pay coppers far more, but i would also completely change the culture of policing and heads would roll at the top like some arc. Roly, the ineffectual met police chief who has presided over those alleged peace marches which have left jewish people in britain afraid to leave their homes, and where hateful thugs, including those calling for an intifada which means suicide bombers on public transport and in shops being allowed to run amok. Transport and in shops being allowed to run amok. And if it allowed to run amok. And if it was possible, yesterday we saw an even lower point for british policing with an iranian man called Niyak Ghorbani now living in the uk, arrested for the great crime of waving a placard which read hamas are terrorists now calling Hamas Terrorists is hardly a controversial view unless , of course, you work for unless, of course, you work for the bbc. Hamas are a proscribed terror outfit. According to the uk government. Terror outfit. According to the uk government. But terror outfit. According to the uk government. But hold terror outfit. According to the uk government. But hold up a sign that says that in Central London and youll have your collar felt. Now, the argument collar felt. Now, the argument from the police is that this guy was agitating the crowd, but let me suggest that if saying that hamas are terrorists would agitate the crowd, surely its the crowd that you should be worried about. Not this anti hamas protestor who was manhandled and injured. Take a look again at that nasty cut on his leg. Thats a serious injury there. Poor bloke. Now this guy there. Poor bloke. Now this guy was later de arrested , whatever was later de arrested, whatever that means. Is that like when Gwyneth Paltrow and chris martin consciously uncoupled . Now those numpties at the met police offered a mealy mouthed statement. Here it is, they said. A video has been posted on x alleging officers arrested a man for having an anti hamas placard. This is not accurate. He was arrested after an altercation was ongoing and officers intervened to prevent a breach of the peace. He was arrested for assault, but here we go. Are you ready for the u turn officers . Then fully reviewed footage provided of the incidents and he was later de arrested the arrest was not made in relation to the placard. Made in relation to the placard. Sorry, i dont buy it either way. Extremism has been allowed to proliferate on britains streets in the name of peaceful protest. If jews are afraid to protest. If jews are afraid to leave their house, the protest is not peaceful. If mps are afraid to vote a certain way in afraid to vote a certain way in a house of commons division for fear of violent reprisals, which is what sir keir starmer reportedly told the speaker of the house the protests are not peaceful. If you can project the peaceful. If you can project the words from the river to the sea, which to anyone with half a brain clearly means the elimination of israel, then these protests are not peaceful. These protests are not peaceful. In fact, theyre so against the law that the police should be enforcing them. But theyre not. And look what happened today. Take a look at this. Met Police Officers, stop and harass a jewish man for holding a for israel against anti semitism sign. Now why is this guy being manhandled and why is a message against anti semitism upsetting those on the so called peace march . Anyway okay, ill allow you to make your own conclusions now we have the best police women and men in the world, but the culture and leadership of our Police Forces is failing. British law, failing British Values and failing british democracy. The met police were once branded as institutionally racist. Well, now theyre institutionally useless. Your institutionally useless. Your reaction, mark at gb news. Com and dont forget to get me your pictures of your mothers over. It is mothers day, so pictures of your mum mark at gbnews. Com. Lets hear from tonights top punst lets hear from tonights top pundits now. Former bbc chief Political CorrespondentJohn Sergeant, journalist and Communications Adviser linda jubilee. And last but certainly jubilee. And last but certainly not least, former labour special adviser Paul Richards. Now, adviser Paul Richards. Now, folks, great to have you with me in the studio. Linda, can i start with you . Your reaction to the arrest and then the arrest of this man whose great crime was a placard which was holding up a placard which said , hamas are terrorists . Said, hamas are terrorists . Clearly the placard, well, clearly the placard, was , correct. I mean, what he was, correct. I mean, what he said, hamas are terrorists is correct because hamas is defined as a terrorist group by this country. Therefore, there was nothing wrong with the bbc got there in the end, didnt they . Yes. Yeah, but a lot. The ft says exactly the same as the ft. Yeah. And sky news and sky news. So i dont think we can single the bbc out. We dont really worry about sky news do we. Do. No, worry about all we do. No, we worry about all these particularly on these things, particularly on this i dont this programme where i dont think we have quite the same audience as bbc. Audience as the bbc. Not a much well, hopefully not a much smarter but the smarter audience, but so the placard was okay. Clearly what the police but clearly what the police were about, because were worried about, because thats only thing the thats not the only thing the question about the placard was, was it litigious . In was it litigious . Was it in fact, its the written so fact, its the written word. So was it is not was it liable as it is not liable as it is regarded as a correct statement . So thats not going to be a problem. The problem was, was that guy likely to hatred to incite, incite racial hatred or why the or violence. And thats why the Police Stopped him. They cuffed him. I assume that him. Which means i assume that they then arrested him, cautioned him, and took him away. Probably he was safer being taken away. The question is, why didnt they arrest some of the other people that set upon him and caused, for example, that injury . Now why didnt that happen . I assume because fear that if they because they fear that if they did start arresting those people, the whole situation would explode. Paul richards, youre shaking your head. It reminds me of that scene in a few good men where the you know, the killer argument in the court was , well, why did you court was, well, why did you need to get santiago off the baseif need to get santiago off the base if he safe . And why did base if he was safe . And why did that have to removed for that man have to be removed for his safety . If those people his own safety . If those people were not or even overt were not tacit or even overt supporters hamas . Can supporters of hamas . If you can hold up and not be hold the sign up and not be bothered by anybody, then that would fine. The idea that would be fine. But the idea that he was at some threat for making a perfectly obvious claim, which is hamas is a terrorist is that hamas is a terrorist organisation, he had be organisation, he had to be removed for his own safety, tells everything you need tells you everything you need to know the people on the know about the people on the demonstrations. Doesnt it . I mean, can definitely. I mean, we can all agree are plenty of all agree there are plenty of people been those people that have been on those marches those marches marches and are on those marches who an end to fighting. Who want an end to the fighting. They children and babies to they want children and babies to stop indeed. Stop being murdered. Indeed. But but of this suggests but the flavour of this suggests that there are a good number, more than just a small minority on these marches who seem be on these marches who seem to be sympathetic to well, sympathetic to hamas. Well, Vladimir Lenin had a famous phrase, did he not . Which was the idea of useful idiots, people who go along with these things because they think its a sort nice thing to be its a sort of nice thing to be involved in. And, you know, were all against war, arent we . Actually, youre we . But actually, youre being used nasty people. Used by some quite nasty people. This point that michael this is the point that michael gove today to provide gove is making today to provide cover for insidious organisations that are not in tune with our values and in fact, may even be pro terrorists. So thats the whole point. Yeah. And it is worrying. Ive been observing these demonstrations in Central London. Theyre not nice places to be. You cant walk freely around trafalgar and around Trafalgar Square and elsewhere, happening in elsewhere, and its happening in many town centres as many of our town centres as well, not just in well, actually not just in london. Its making these london. And its making these unsafe spaces. I had a meeting, if you and i had a meeting, if you like , with a very Senior Member like, with a very Senior Member of Jewish Military of the Jewish Military community, if you like, ex military person, and i hadnt until that point realised the depth of fear that exists in the Jewish Community now because of these huge marches. Its really palpable. Yeah and its very, very worrying. Tory mp andrew percy said that he feels safer in israel than in the United Kingdom at the moment. John sergeant, the police are trying to keep the peace, but the optics of this is that they are placating the mob. Well yeah, no, all these points youre making are perfectly reasonable. Reasonable. But its a question of what should the police do in these circumstances are very high controversial issues. Youve got tens of thousands of people involved. The police have a duty, emphasised by the Prime Minister to make sure that riots dont break out that order is not broken, and that the day ends with
