Government mr speaker is now an irrelevance the 2 candidates is it see. The 2 candidates to succeed her ive only got fantasy plans since she and her successors have no answers doesnt the Prime Minister except the best thing to do would be to go back to the people and let them decide which way we can perhaps one can forgive corbin his impatience on like crazy man labours blairites he opposed u. K. Involvement in the nato destruction of africas richest per capita country libya thats libya where air strikes continued this week and unlike tories he backed the humanitarian treatment of child refugees seeking asylum because of the r. A. F. But on wednesday he had to listen to this we can as a country and be proud of everything that we have done in help terms of how can refute g. s and other Vulnerable Children who are affected by conflict by violence and by and. Debility because her support for bombing libya and syria was aimed at creating stability presumably like the 20 way to Bank Bailouts and mass austerity or Economic Warfare on the poor created stability for countries like britain and for that matter greece which faces elections tomorrow joining me now is a communist member of the Greek Parliament they have a canal a they have thanks so much for coming on the show before we get to any pessimism as regards the communist partys view of tomorrows elections why do you think unlike the countrys voters a may reject the fascism some may call it of golden dawn to more i think the i think that weve been fighting with the whole of the people but especially the communist party to get these matus out of our parliament and i think that the diminishing of the power is something exclusively big greek now because throughout europe the neo nazis are climbing up only in greece they are going down and thats a very very happy event and i hope we are going to do see the again in this National Elections as you obviously know have been slapped in public throughout the World Everybody everyone has seen what nazis are specially against women certainly everyone around the world seems to be expecting a fight between a avowedly new liberal pro Austerity Party like new democracy or series which is implemented or spirity policies and thats when your country has youth unemployment still of around 40 percent why is greece in this situation i think that the choices that to a socalled governing parties there were so good and new democracy now its new democracy and cities are they are the part is the. Choose to be with the European Union inside the eurozone and that inside the nato gave us weve got. About one 4th of the population being not only poor but with no hope for the future as weve got about 600000 young greeks that leave the country to try to find a job. In other crimes this is a mainly european ones and weve got our allies like turkey that they have agreements for the refugees for example with europe to be aggressive enough to demand a half of the aegean sea to start or drilling in sinai the or the controlled by cyprus weve still got mitt took a military forces and Turkish Military forces in cyprus so do you think that by mortgaging every inch of greek soil from palestinian to i dont know what to the european low nurse and their loan sharks for 99 years this is the signature that cities are put under this agreement and i think that is why people dont want any of them great series or would say look we may be defaulting on the i. M. F. Loan maybe not quite as much as Cristina Kirchner and her late husband in argentina are and not only that then refusing to take orders from strasburg or brussels over or apparent term impositions from the e. U. That greece should no longer have collective bargaining sort of explicitly have to trade Union Legislation in order for you to receive funds yes but they didnt become a government because there was saying these things now they are apologizing they came into power promising part of that is outside all these obligations and they succumbed so. They accepted everything now theyre fighting against. So this is a big lie but you cannot trick the greek people show by mensa suppressor denies telling any lies just very quickly on the procedural elements of keno which may i understand hold the balance of power in any coalition is that just another party which is equally near liberal or does it have anything progressive about it in your eyes they are trying they are trying to. Practically theyre struggling with sid is that who is going to be the leader in the so called are going down the democrat European Union of parties they started as socalled lefts and now theyre leaning towards being social democrats and try to get something from the old that now is called kin not well supremely ironic arguably is that next week whoever wins the election may have to speak to Christine Legarde not in a position as the boss of the i. M. F. But as the boss of the European Central bank what do you make of a change of positions i think that no she has a lot of things to try with like the bags it and lots of people theyre very happy that they dont have a great example who gives a damn about the European Union as it and that to be with so much lack of democracy and that turning out to be a union of money holds and not a union of the people of europe for those watching you may think that the idea of a great city is impossible just take us through some history because i understand that unlike most of the rest of the world greek mortality rates jumped nearly 20 percent after the austerity after the Bank Bailouts deaths from cancer neonatal sepsis h. I. V. s cirrhosis and of course youth unemployment rose to 58 percent. Cent what happened in those years argument is Getting Better the head of this election however weve got a very rich country very rich country weve got very educated and very skilled working class people but still we dont have a penny and the majority of the population is struggling to feel and experience the 1st 20 years of the 21st century has been the hell here of course mr tsipras came under fire for doing a deal with the communist party of china over the poor player in athens of prayers youre talking about turkey and turkey is in trouble with nato actually over receiving Russian Defense systems is it about time greece starts to realign more than with the brics countries rather than fighting into nice sign mediterranean trade wars or geopolitical war look its not permitted that any in case its an imperialistic case its a power game over the Mediterranean Sea if you want my person a journalist then political appearing in its like the whole area around the middle east in the middle that any standing back about a 100 years look what happened in libya where democracy was exported its cutting 3 but the flow of oil goes to the same pockets and to the same Companies Look what happened in iraq they claim there was a war there are tired any there what happened there in fairness to series and its been a horrific week in the mediterranean with so many drowning seeking asylum as you say after the major war on libya series i did not support bombing of syria do you think that if new democracy when with the coalitions they would canel. Greece in future will be more in line with nato adventurism as its been called as regards wars in the middle east i dont put any hope in these 2 parties not any hope at all because they know its practically ruling that country. There are no want because were not part of this European Union so brussels is ruling my country whether you like it go north this is the truth they bomb but they produce refugees and then they give us some money to face the humanitarian problem here there is no money at all can you absorb or these refugees syria when you are part of the nato forces in the utopian forces that use it as your g. s by expanding their interests in other poorer countries thank you thank you after the break is trumps deal of the century the new Balfour Declaration we speak to our knesset members up in the september reading about western colonial policies leading to the deaths of millions of people around the world and protest or celebration as britains biggest pride parade kicks off in the capital today we ask britains 1st out muslim drag queen a seat for love or what those fighting for l.

Welcome back despite attempts from the Israeli Government and u. K. Lobbying group the u. K. Lawyers very israel europes largest exhibition about this time has an expert opens today in london joining me now is one of the events top speakers arab knesset member but hes have japery in thank you so what you said for coming here but the u. K. Backed Israeli Government theyve been trying to prevent you from speaking today at the palestine expo has a Terror Organization front of your chair well my group was funded by the appropriate groups. My stance is of a very clear supporting. For the un going conflict in the middle east so establishing a palestinian state alongside israel might be a 6 to 7 borders this is the blood for that has been adopted by the International Community supported by International Law and i think that the minimum that they could do to support such a solution is to come here to load the exhibit if you was of this unfortunately that there has been these attempts by israeli ministers that the. Participation here with you know all these accusations as if that was funded by the year there was to group the fact is that the israeli current government is trying to believe in any serious discussion about to be a full solution is the trying to prevent anybody anybody in or like me who could be in the financial when the critiquing to the Israeli Government the boat its continued in. Very dangerous policy of expanding settlements build beach with occupation and the basically opposition the Palestinian People and basically its going to end any real chance for a peaceful solution in our area these really government oversee claim they are the only democracy in the middle east despite all the violations as you say of the un resolutions and you are an m. P. In the knesset you are proof that israel is the only democracy in the middle east. I think that i do the opposite with speak in the knesset on behalf of my community and the behalf for fair and democratic jewish forces are you voice the you know the. The political a platform that goes against the Israeli Government you know oakeshott a platform so what they do i express my year my views. I critique the Israeli Government policies i critique the antidemocratic law i could take the annexation laws i could take that ongoing operation of my people and its very important to tell me what im elected by my supporters are you my of course which was also represent their cause in the International Arena and the International Forums in the International Media like this interview so for me through being elected by my course it was see i have basically the possibility of representing you know the cause of my community of my people so its exactly the opposite i think that there will always be happy not to have me in the knesset and that theyll have my political activity whether it is well in the occupied palestinian territories or internationally what about this that is the deal of the century i understand youve been comparing it to the hated british declaration do you think the past thank you just me paid off and the. Elites can illegally fully take the Golan Heights in syria and take palestinians land and your girl you know the current color should between. Administration and that is the is a dangerous corporation and the its a clearly the American Administration no supportive of basically the lawyer they make policy in israel what the socalled beauty of the century is actually disaster of the century the law is the basic laws of palestinians and if you deny the basic word philistine years if you cannot achieve any peace and do your fear which were to basically the conflict in our area so so the cannot be any other real deal without recognizing the historical rights of the political and as they see it. By International Community article as by International Law other thing not in the oh if he believes that by killing the support of the americas he could continue and go against international will he does and that gives the basic right of palestinians here will very small realize its a follow city and this cannot work more people. Definitely not palestinians could accept being the occupation and the oppression for too long its about time for the International Community to wake up to walk seriously to get on to you the basic rights of palestinians for and the been to the states alongside as well. Thank you well also in london as well as past an expo over a 1000000 people are expected to take to the streets today to celebrate pride a week after the 50th anniversary of new yorks stonewall uprising and the 35th anniversary the formation of lesbians and gays support the miners but can the lessons from those pioneering campaigns be applied to l g b g q plus Movement Today joining me now to discuss it as well as what pride means to her is activist and britains 1st out muslim drag queen as he found a whore and. Or welcome to going underground so its pride day to day parade well in a dream presumably doesnt mean Barclays Bank you know was on sponsorship to you when you go out there on Trafalgar Square as plinth tell me about what it means to you what it means to me is basically representing every color in the rainbow myself obviously being britains 1st out muslim drag queen being from a Minority Ethnic Community and also from a religious background for me its basically about saying look pride is for everybody wherever you are from whatever you believe and sort of promoting that tolerance and acceptance everywhere promoting thats a precisely the words in the legislation clause 28. 00 which hung over this country between 988 and where you are 3 compared often compared to the legislation in russia currently against the promotion of ale g. B. T. Q rights was your experience under law i have to say supported by our outgoing Prime Minister to resume the well i was of his children at the time a section 28 i was heavily bullied as i can be school for being a feminists it was for bullying that actually i learned the word gay and i thought i was gay for many many years. Until i realised actually i was a trans woman and i transitioned many years later it really affected sort of my early relationship affected the way i thought about the world and it affected my personal identity will actually transitioning them what room is the teal g. B. T. Q because its 50 years from stonewall people may not even realise drag queens revolved in that struggle for human rights do you think theres really a degree to which its all says gendered gay men that have been seen to be the heroes rather than the people that dress like this of course i mean at the end of the day people tend to forget that it was a trans woman of color martha p. Johnson that actually threw the 1st stone and she started. The stonewall riots i think look things tend to be white washed they tend to be pink washed a lot as well within the o. G. T. T. Community and you know the reality is that its not all fairies its all not rainbow colors everywhere there are parts of the community especially in london that face a lot of race face a lot of islamophobia within the older beauty communities and at the same time face homophobia and transphobia from their communities their religious communities and ethnic minorities that they come from is there a plus identity that is across all of this because you build your religious identities obviously people of color a that is is easier to come out today if you have more money than if youre poor of course i do believe in part postcard lotteries however are not of the notion that for example if your systems are white its easier because there are parts of the u. K. Vrouw u. K. Where you know hate crime is going up why do you think that is going to skew some bills that is the fear that austerity is. Why was he growing up i think hate crime is going up because of austerity because of the braggs that paralysis that were in i feel that you know in posts braggs it britain people have given themselves the permission to criticize to bully to vocalize their hate to anything that they deem the other u. K. Back blackborough it is the more what do you make of the way reflectively banned the home office saying they do want People Associated with the horse to the wind. Promoting a beauty rhodes kudos to you cable out pride for doing that i mean. You know as a person of british pakistani faith i am aware of you know pakistani Asylum Seekers for example that come to my clubs that come to my shows. They have to go through hurrying experiences of claiming asylum in the u. K. I mean having to prove that their eligibility you know the home office believe that if youre out going partying pink t. Shirt gay boy then you must be gay but if youre a gay boy that has a beard that you know doesnt speak english very well that identifies as a muslim then you cant youre not gain enough to live in the u. K. They can be deported exactly they can be deported to countries especially you know my home country my Heritage Country of pakistan where you know its illegal to be lesbian gay and bisexual however it is legal to be transgender. Now it is firmly. To the 3rd gender law and india through the British Colonial sections reasons of yes so a lot of the laws in south asia that you know criminalize homosexuality are from the colonial era and pakistan last year. Put forward protection right of bills for their Transgender Community and indeed decriminalized homosexuality last year after recruitment rising in 5 years before so its slow progress im not saying that homophobia in transphobia doesnt exist in south asia it definitely does however definitely things are improving and i feel that the asian continent gets the t. Much better than europe. Going to revision with the way it worked in close because. The is the 35th anniversary of lesbians and gays support the miners why do you think people who knew more about the. Being that the spearheading anticapitalist movements which after all stonewall was part of history gone well again where very good at forgetting our history which is why you know parts of law and parts of history that have have affected me for example section 20 affected me i badger on about here. Because the moment we forget our history we forget where we come from we forget what off fight is and just as quickly as the laws are given they can be taken away just as quickly and just fine we are going to ask them if anyone watching this is going through trauma over their identity with the elder g. The the t. The q what advice would you give to them if theyre facing struggles in family a little known in their communities what i would say to somebody whos going through struggles right now is dont be afraid to reach out you might feel like youre the only one there were times when i felt like i was the only one sometimes i even still feel like im the only one now but theres a whole community out there waiting to support you how did you do it i reached out to my University Tutor who basically put me in touch with l. G. Beauty charities in london and i met other l. G. B. To muslims for the 1st time and i realised i wasnt the only gay muslim in the country and your family know my family now are super supportive after many years of not understanding my journey of not supporting me they are really out there being visible being really supportive i mean i do want to say that look today is pride in london day i am posting the mainstays live in Trafalgar Square lets just all celebrates lets put all our differences aside and just celebrate and how far weve come so far lower thank you thats of the show will be back on monday to tackle greenwashing also being a former Police Charles advisor Jonathon Porritt whether people should boycott Londons British Museum National Gallery and thats reporter a gallery jewel that he does well so should we do see them.
