Victim. Free bella, the campaign victim. Free bella, the campaign to save the beautiful beluga whale trapped in a korean shopping mall. My top panel tonight is daily express columnist Carole Malone, Labour Party Member and journalist Benjamin Butterworth, and political commentator suzanne evans. Oh yes, and find out what is wrong with this. Get ready britain here we go. The communist want a revolution . The communist want a revolution . Next. Next. Very good evening to you. Im Aaron Armstrong in the gb newsroom. A day of shame for the newsroom. A day of shame for the British State. The Prime Ministers reaction to the findings of a five year inquiry as he offered victims of the infected blood scandal a whole hearted apology. The final report identified a catalogue of failures by the nhs and successive governments, and concluded thousands of deaths could have been avoided. Inquiry chair sir Brian Langstaff said the scandal had been exacerbated by a chilling cover up from those in positions of power, including the deliberate destruction of documents by government officials. More than government officials. More than 30,000 people were infected with hiv and hepatitis c over more than 20 years because of contaminated blood products and transfusions. This is a day of shame for the British State. Todays report shows a decades long moral failure at the heart of our National Life , from the our National Life, from the National Health service to the Civil Service to ministers in successive governments, at every level, the people and institutions in which we place our trust failed in the most harrowing and devastating way. Harrowing and devastating way. They failed the victims and their families and they failed this country. Well, the labour leader, sir keir starmer , also apologised keir starmer, also apologised for what hes described as one of the uks gravest injustices. Mayor of Greater Manchester andy burnham told gb news he thinks people should be held accountable. Accountable. His report should rock whitehall to its foundations because whitehall dug in behind the life or decades, and that had very serious consequences for Peoples Health and peoples lives. So there has to be lives. So there has to be accountability. You know, we see in these situations, dont we, how theres a, you know, a big injustice uncovered like hillsborough or grenfell or the post office. And yet there isnt that individual accountability , that individual accountability, but that has to follow. And in my view, prosecutions should be considered in this case, including a corporate accountability. I believe there may well be a for case corporate manslaughter against whitehall departments as well. Departments as well. The parents of a baby girl say theyll never forgive the callousness of a nursery worker whos been convicted of manslaughter. 37 year old Kate Roughley placed nine month old Genevieve Meehan face down on a beanbag for an hour and a half while working at the tiny toes nursery in Cheadle Hulme in may 2022. Colleagues and paramedics tried to revive her, but she was declared dead later that day. Declared dead later that day. Roughley has been remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced later this week. And juuan sentenced later this week. And Julian Assange can mount a fresh appeal against his extradition to the United States on charges of leaking military secrets. The wikileaks founder will now be able to challenge us assurances on how a trial there would be conducted and over the protection of his rights to free speech. Mr assange faces prosecution on espionage charges relating to the disclosure of information about the wars in iraq and afghanistan, which the us has argued endangered lives.

Ordinary people in britain seriously need to wake up to the fact that we are being captured by an ever increasing number of hardline communist organisations that are becoming more and more emboldened by the day. Just stop oil have long marched alongside communist groups, communist organisations are behind the student pro palestine protests, taking place. At the moment. There is a huge crossover between communist groups and the wider pro palestine movement. There was a communist member of sage who said that she wanted government restrictions on our day to day lives to last forever. The head of the National Education union has attended the socialist workers marxist conference. We have communist and radical left wing groups organising mobile mobs to prevent the home office from taking people out of migrant hotels. This network is the anti trade coalition. They work hand in hand with organisations like black lives matter, which has openly published a marxist manifesto. It is time to proscribe the radical far left, as the extremist groups they really are, and they should be made to pay for the damage they cause. We have been too complacent for too long in britain, and it is time to say enoughis britain, and it is time to say enough is enough. The anti extremism tsar, lord walney, has said this. These organisations have not yet been judged to meet the terrorist threshold, which is clearly defined in the home secretary has to rule on. But there is that space where if organisations are clearly using criminal tactics, they are not being deterred by the individual jul offences that activists are being charged with. But prescription varne has worked in the terrorist contents to be able to restrict the activities of certain organisations. Its of certain organisations. Its not perfect, but it can be an important tool. If they are prescribed as extremists, then the police can actually step in and arrest them. This weekend saw more calls for intifada on the streets and weve got police who feel too scared to act. But who will arrest individuals if they push somebody back after being shoved themselves by hardline members of the pro palestine bngade . Members of the pro palestine brigade . Weve got a policy here. Hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey hey. Stop resisting like a scene out of 1930s germany. Ordinary jewish people who wanted to attend a jewish Film Festival in hampstead were greeted by people who turned up and started chanting about resistance. 0334 chanting about resistance. 0334 occupation. No more. Andrew and occupation. No more. Andrew and bev, the first israeli. Mps even have fake dead babies put on their office steps like shaun bailey in gloucestershire. Taxpayers have to fork out an extra £31 million for bodyguards and protective equipment for mps, some of whom are wearing stab vests. But its more than that. Theyre impacting peoples lives, stopping ambulances , taking up stopping ambulances, taking up police time, causing criminal damage, ruining businesses, preventing students from going to lectures. Britain has been too complacent whilst people have been sitting around drinking chablis and moaning about brexit. The radical socialists and the communists have been organising and mobilising and they are not going to simply just grow out of their ideology. They are here for revolution and we need to wake up to that. Lets get the thoughts on my panel this evening i am joined by daily express columnist Carole Malone , express columnist Carole Malone, journalist and broadcaster Benjamin Butterworth , and Benjamin Butterworth, and political commentator suzanne evans, carole , ill start with evans, carole, ill start with you on this. Weve been too complacent for too long in britain, and we have been infiltrated completely on the first thing weve been to accomplish. Yeah, we see cops every week at these pro palestinian demos. Lets just point out they have now been a thousand protests and vigils in recent months. Its vigils in recent months. Its taken its cost £40 million, 55,000 Police Officer shifts. And yet they stand there, the cops, and they do nothing while all this goes on. You hear people shouting for intifada. You hear, you know, death , all you hear, you know, death, all these awful chants and its and theyre doing nothing and theyre doing nothing and theyre encouraged to do nothing. And the same thing happens with Just Stop Oil, even if you manage to get them to court, which is rare, they get a smack on the wrist from the magistrate or the judge or wherever. I think its a great idea. If we now start making them pay for the damage they cause, because for them a few days in jail, a few weeks in jail is actually a badge of honoun jail is actually a badge of honour. So so thats good for them, but will not be good for them, but will not be good for them if they have to sell their house to pay for the damage that theyve caused to buildings and people. Yeah, benjamin, you know, the communists have actually just been on the march whilst weve been on the march whilst weve been asleep. No, i mean, no, its just absurd. And look, first of all, i think the idea that they should be proscribed as a terrorist group would undermine the real terrorist organisations that are doing terrible work. The idea that we dont prescribe supporters of the Iranian Revolutionary guard, but we would somebody that thinks we need to cut our Carbon Emissions , need to cut our Carbon Emissions i , need to cut our Carbon Emissions , i think, would be a total inqu , i think, would be a total insult and a misuse of state power. I just say i agree with you about the Iranian Revolutionary guard, but what i would say is, does that person just want to cut Carbon Emissions, or are they also a member of the revolutionary communist party . Well, im sure there are people that sit in both camps, but thats called free speech and a right to protest. And i think we cut down on that at our risk. Whats not free speech is when you damage things, when you damage buildings, when you damage buildings, when you damage works of art, when you stop people getting to hospital by blocking Emergency Services that their criminal offences and that their criminal offences and that i agree with. So i would make the point that given there are examples, including anti semitism at some of these protests that are already illegal and the police are not enforcing the law, i think the government would do a better job to focus on the officers, on the beat, doing the laws that exist than doing this kind of posturing. Should we make them pay for the damage and disruption . Suzanne. Yeah, absolutely. We should. We should. Ive been absolutely disgusted. I think, as most right thinking people, when you see them desecrating paintings, throwing paint, smashing windows and buildings, i mean, this is astronomically awful and worse. Of course, it ups insurance premiums for the rest of us law abiding citizens, too. It might seem like a minor point, but actually that is that is critical, they just cant do these things. And, carol mentioned stopping ambulances that day when Just Stop Oil refused to let ambulances through to hospital was, i think, and then lied about low point and then lied, then lied about it on video. But this is this is nothing new, black lives matter, hugely. Communist organisations. Some of us were always saying that look at what they stand for. Theyre communist manifesto out there. The manifesto is out there. The manifesto is out there. It was out there for anyone with half a brain to google and look at and yet can we just point out absolutely lauded, point out absolutely lauded, point out absolutely lauded, point out as well that, you know, these pro palestinian protests, a couple of years ago, you know, anti semitism was quite rightly seen on our streets as heinous. These people have actually made that mainstream. Now, for a lot of people, its okay to hate jewish people. Our capital city has become a no go area for jewish people at weekends. Weve seen whats just happened there. Their Film Festival. Shocking this, these, these protests. You know, when you talk about freedom, theyve had the freedom to protest and all the rest of it. Theyre not free to actually incite. I think weve been too complacent, benjamin. We have to have a look at some of the people who have captured certain institutions as sage had a communist there that was saying that we needed to have government restrictions on our lives on the day to day forever. Youve got the head of the National Education union who said some incredibly fruity things, has attended marxist conferences, etc. These people have been very active whilst weve taken our eye off the ball and they are there and they are not going away. Yeah, im not a communist and i dont want communists in charge, but these people have got to those positions legitimately. Those that trade union is a democratic structure, 9. Thats a function of a free state. What i would say is i think there is rank hypocrisy from people who are calling for these groups to be terrorist organisations. Ill tell you what, when the farmers went and blocked Parliament Square and stopped people getting through with their tractors in opposition to policies about how farming would do well, the people that would have a problem with this were celebrating that when the truckers in canada blocked, blocked a whole city of ottawa and stopped ambulances getting through and all sorts, you had the anti covid squad saying that. That was fantastic. So you know what you start to prescribe these groups and cut down on the rights of protest at your risk because there is such hypocrisy. Hypocrisy. So achieving nothing you cant cut down on protest. I totally agree, i think there is absolutely a place for direct action, but not when youre damaging private property with absolutely no consequences whatsoever. I think we have a highly politicised judiciary now , and i think, as carole rightly said, this is why people who are causing criminal damage, who in any other context would get a fine at at least not this. This is this is what this is exactly, exactly one of the key points, right . We have these absolute radicals now at universities. I know people will say that theyve always been there. I think theyre now bolder and bolder than theyve been in recent times. Weve got them in our education system. Weve got them at the unions. Again, not exactly a shock, but how emboldened are they now . The judiciary . I really think there is a case to be made for some people who are at least very sympathetic to this lot, as well, and we see them now becoming bolder and bolder and bolder and we forgot the extremism tsar, who is finally saying , well, it is within our saying, well, it is within our home offices powers to actually do something about this. People might not like to admit it. People like to think, oh, this lot will grow out of it when they buy a house. And this that and the other. I dont want to live in a country where we have to live through these peoples mistakes in order to realise how evil and wrong it is, you know, where are all these people . The pro Palestinian Protesters . Where are all the protests against the chinese, against the saudis . If theyre if theyre so, you know, if theyre so minded, they dont. This is this is actually a political protest. This is not about palestine, per se. For a lot of this is a political protest, but but but i just i find it astonishing now that we have we have students who are who are on campuses. You know what i think im going to find really interesting in this summer when the summer break comes, is their is their devotion to the palestinian cause going to let them go off on holiday for ten weeks . Im suspecting. Ill tell you how i think that will end when actual Homeless People move into those camps, and they will not be able to deal with them. They wont like them, itll be a bit too earthy for them, and all of a sudden theyll decide that theyve got to go home for the holidays. They will go home. Benjamin are you not concerned by the rise of communism now in this country . Were seeing the people who are linked to communist organisations. Most realising, stopping government policy, stopping these so called immigration raids, sitting in front of buses and ordinary people who sit alongside them, do not realise that there is a card carrying militant communist next to them. No. And frankly, i think if you claim to believe in free speech, then you should say that your arguments win out, not shutting people down through laws passed in parliament. Im far more concerned about people on the far right like lee anderson than i am people on the right. Oh come on, hes not far right. These protests. Do you think they should go on indefinitely . How long would you say that these pro palestinian protests should go on . I think there should be much Better Police because theres definitely anti semitism at them. And thats not acceptable. But how long . How long . The thing is, how long do you think we can have a police force governing them and actually not being able to tackle crime on the streets . So how long a year . Two years . Three years, how long . Well, the people that opposed the covid jabs are still going on moaning and protesting, going on. Im sorry theyre not taking theyre not taking over the capital city every weekend. But these guys are and actually they never had protests anyway and took over the capital city anti lockdown protesters, yes, but not anti vaxxers. And they did it for a few weeks. This is this has gone on for months and months and its cost. Can i just ask you, you know, when you bandy around things like lee anderso
