Good afternoon. Today is Friday the 3rd of
0:11
October 2025, just after 1:00. Welcome to UK column News.
0:17
I'm your host, Brian Garish. Delighted to be joined today by
0:21
Patrick Henningson. Patrick is in France.
0:24
He'll be coming in on Livelink. And also we have Mark Anderson
0:28
who will be joining us on Livelink from Texas.
0:32
So welcome to both my guest presenters.
0:36
Now, as you can see, the weather is decidedly poor here in UK,
0:41
but not to worry about that because we've got lots of hot
0:45
political news for you. We're going to be covering the
0:48
Manchester Synagogue attacks. We're going to be having a look
0:53
at the Greta Thunberg flotilla and Israel.
0:57
We'll be, of course, covering the banks and the international
1:00
banking system because nothing happens without big money.
1:04
We're also going to be looking at the Paloma Shimarani inquest
1:09
and the some of the more hidden fallout from the tragic inquest
1:15
that's just trade taken place. We'll be also covering Trump's
1:19
loving with FOIA. We're going to be having a
1:22
little look at the French, Ukrainian relations and and
1:25
indeed politics around Moldova. We'll be taking a look about
1:30
what Prince William is talking about, which is change in the
1:34
monarchy. And also we've got some
1:37
interesting footage of people actually now starting to really
1:42
get out to say we are going to change and stop what is
1:47
happening with regard to Keir Starmer's UK politics.
1:52
So let's kick off with a little bit of background to where Keir
1:56
Starmer was before he was pulled back to UK for his emergency
2:00
COBRA meeting and he was present in Copenhagen.
2:04
This is just part of the the media release, the 7th meeting
2:08
of the European Political community.
2:11
It looks fairly dull from a media sense, but actually if we
2:14
bring in one of the photographs, we can see that there were some
2:18
extraordinary images and a lot of body language between some
2:22
pretty powerful people. So in the picture on screen,
2:26
we've got what we're describing is the EU head teacher Ursula
2:30
von der Leyen, who's admonishing a rather petulant trainee,
2:35
Italian Prime Minister Georgie Maloney.
2:38
So just have a look at the expression on the faces of those
2:41
two women. And of course, whilst we might
2:43
be laughing, this is where the deep power politics gets played
2:47
out. But let's bring in our very own
2:50
Keir Starmer. No, he isn't wearing some sort
2:54
of flowery headdress, that's just a trick of the camera.
2:59
But we've got we've got some interesting expressions here
3:03
with Queen Mary of Denmark sitting as the Rose between the
3:06
two poisonous thorns, which is Starmer there to her right and
3:11
Macron to her left. But yeah, trick of the camera.
3:15
We should also pay attention to the fact, of course, this was
3:19
banqueting. This was fine wine and dining
3:22
while the rest of the mayhem goes on in the world.
3:25
Now Keir Starmer had to cut his little visit short because of
3:29
the synagogue attack and he came straight back for a cobra
3:34
meeting. Now tragic events that have
3:39
taken place in Manchester. The latest is that we've got one
3:45
victim that is now being apparently sorry, it's now being
3:49
said about 1 victim that they were hit by police gunfire.
3:53
So we'll wait to see what information comes out about
3:56
that. We've got 2 Jewish men killed by
4:00
being hit by a car. We've got three people in
4:03
hospital and we've got three people arrested.
4:07
Now this is just a little clip that was taken as the event was
4:11
taking place. It's it's widely available on
4:15
the media, but we'll just bring it in to set the scene 1
4:18
casualty on the ground and the police armed and very
4:22
aggressive. Let's have a look we've.
4:26
Killed him. Everybody else, get back.
4:37
If you're not involved, move back.
4:42
Get away. Somebody.
4:43
Everybody else, you have to fall.
4:44
Go. Away so we'll say dangerous
4:49
situation but also at the time the police claiming that one of
4:54
the man prostate on the ground was also had explosives with
4:59
him. So that warm warning.
5:01
Let's just have a little look at this clip of Keir Starmer.
5:08
The attack in Master this morning is absolutely shocking
5:11
and all of our thoughts with those affected.
5:14
I'm on my way back to London. When I arrive I will chair an
5:18
emergency COBRA meeting. I'm already able to say that
5:21
additional police assets are being deployed to synagogues
5:25
across the country and we will do everything to keep our Jewish
5:28
community safe. I spoke to Mark Gardner of the
5:31
CST and Andy Burnham, Mayor of Manchester and and I want to
5:36
thank the emergency services for the speed of their response.
5:42
So we'll say a tragic attack on the Jewish community there.
5:46
But Keir Starmer adamant he's going to do everything possible.
5:51
Remember David Cameron saying that his belief in Israel was
5:55
unshakeable? Israel appears to come first,
5:58
but Stormer then started quite a chain of media announcements
6:04
about this attack, so we've got another clip.
6:08
Good evening. Earlier today, on Yom Kippur,
6:13
the holiest day for the Jewish community, a vile individual
6:18
committed a terrorist attack that attacked Jews because they
6:23
are Jews and attacked Britain because of our values.
6:29
So many Jewish families first came to this country as a place
6:34
of refuge, fleeing the greatest evil ever inflicted.
6:38
Honour people and Britain welcomed them.
6:41
Communities like the one attacked in Manchester provided
6:45
safety but also the security. That comes from a promise that
6:51
this is a country that stands up to hatred and that we don't just
6:56
provide refuge, we provide a home for so many Jewish
7:01
families. That is the story of Britain.
7:06
But Britain is also a country where Jewish buildings,
7:10
synagogues, even schools require round the clock protection where
7:15
dedicated specialist security is necessary because of the daily
7:20
threat of anti-Semitic hatred. Today's horrific incident shows
7:27
why. So my personal reply to that is
7:32
I've never heard Keir Starmer with this level of passion about
7:36
defending the rest of the people in the UK.
7:38
So as far as I'm concerned, this is highly biased reporting and
7:42
that doesn't detract from the seriousness of the attack or the
7:45
suffering of the Jewish community in Manchester.
7:49
Patrick, just bring you in with us very quickly because Keir
7:53
Starmer is clearly very, very motivated by this.
7:57
We haven't seen this passion in relation to the 10s of thousands
8:01
of people killed in Gaza or the ongoing slaughter in Ukraine,
8:05
for example. Sure.
8:09
I think it's personally I'm looking at the forensic side of
8:13
the case. It's too early, there's not a
8:15
lot of details and certainly would want to know more about
8:20
the assailant, the suspect, the motivation, the background that
8:26
that will all be very interesting and perhaps
8:28
revealing as to what we're actually looking at here.
8:32
So that's what that's where my eyes are.
8:34
That's where my concern is. But, you know, considering
8:37
what's happening right now in the Middle East and the world's
8:41
eyes are on the Gaza Strip, there's an ongoing genocide
8:45
happening as we speak right now in 2025.
8:50
And, you know, some world leaders are paying attention to
8:54
this and, you know, trying to intervene to stop Israel, slow
8:59
them down. Colombian President Gustav
9:01
Petrov, for instance, is talking about deploying armed military
9:06
personnel to act as peacekeepers.
9:09
They're talking about sanctioning Israel.
9:12
So 100 / 150 countries in the in the UN actually condemning
9:17
Israel's actions and voting to recognize a Palestinian state.
9:22
So certainly that's worthy of a press conference, I would think
9:27
from any world leader, especially AG 7 leader or a, a
9:32
leading NATO country. So yes, it's it, it's, it's
9:37
certainly Keir Starmer's wheelhouse, if you will,
9:41
politically, he's there. He's, he's always reiterated his
9:45
support, his unflinching support for the Jewish community and
9:50
concerns for the, the Jewish community in Israel and so
9:55
forth. So no one's really surprised by
9:59
the press coverage and and the reaction after this.
10:03
Patrick, thank you very much. We'll bring you back in again
10:05
shortly. But just to finish this segment
10:09
to the news, in the first clip with Starmer, he mentioned CST.
10:15
Now many people will be unaware of what that that is.
10:18
Let's just have a look at this still from the BBC clip.
10:22
If you look in the background, you can see a man with CST on
10:26
his jacket. And what we're talking about is
10:29
this organization, which is essentially a private security
10:34
force protecting solely Jewish interests, are very, very
10:38
powerful and working closely with the UK police and
10:42
intelligence services. And apparently they are working
10:46
to assist the police in tackling hate crime across the board and
10:50
preventing terrorism. They operate a database where I
10:54
went to have a look and see if I could find out how many Jewish
10:57
people have actually died in UK as a result of terror attacks.
11:01
And whilst this organization does have databases so it talks
11:06
about a methodical insight into chronology, sequence and details
11:10
of UK terror attacks and plots. It talks about UK
11:14
counterterrorism policing and the UK Security Service
11:18
providing updated figures. But but it's all a bit woolly.
11:22
It says the absence of a public record makes it difficult for
11:25
researchers to look for information on terrorism.
11:29
And then it boasts that CSTS databases should help stimulate
11:34
A constructive discussion on terrorism trends.
11:37
So this is not just logging what's happening to the Jewish
11:40
community. This is about driving public
11:42
opinion. And if you have a look at the
11:44
databases, I tried just to search for the number of Jewish
11:48
people who've who have unfortunately died as a result
11:52
of terror attacks. I tried a number of combinations
11:56
of information, but as the as the database works, what you
12:02
find is it doesn't bring up specific information about the
12:05
Jewish community. It spreads it over jihadist and
12:10
other terrorism, right wing terrorism, etcetera.
12:13
So this blurs your ability to be able to get detail out and I was
12:18
unable to establish how many Jewish individuals have died as
12:22
a result of terrorism in UK from 2013 to 20 to 2025.
12:30
So I'm just going to post over this that it does seem that
12:33
these databases are blurring the lines between attacks on the
12:36
Jewish community and other so-called terrorist or extremist
12:41
attacks. Why this is, I think a lot more
12:44
questions need to be asked. But of course, across the board,
12:47
we're seeing now wall to wall coverage about the Manchester
12:52
attack almost blanking out other events in the world.
12:56
Well, if that's what's been happening here in UK, Patrick,
13:00
let's bring you back in with us because you've been having a
13:03
look at the the flotilla, Greta Thunberg's flotilla.
13:09
What's been happening around that?
13:12
Yeah, thanks, Brian. It it's not actually Greta
13:15
Thunberg's flotilla, it's the global Sumud flotilla.
13:20
There's over 500 humanitarians and activists from around the
13:24
world, one of which is Greta Thunberg, along with many
13:27
others, including many from the UK and Ireland as well.
13:31
We'll talk about some of those individuals in a moment.
13:34
But global Sumud, Sumud in Arabic means perseverance, it
13:39
means steadfastness. So it's interesting that they've
13:42
used that term. But what's interesting, Brian,
13:45
about this is the mainstream coverage.
13:47
And here, this is Reuters. So CNN, Reuters, they they've
13:51
all finally covered the even covered the fact that Israel was
13:55
launching drone attacks in international waters and even in
13:58
Greek territorial waters, if I'm not mistaken, against some of
14:02
the flotilla ships over the last week or so.
14:04
And there's Greta giving her final one of her final video
14:08
just there. All of the activists uploaded
14:12
kind of, if you will, last words before they were apprehended.
14:17
So those were already ready to go.
14:19
Some of them actually did it with their life jackets on as
14:21
the IDF we're boarding their ships.
14:24
So Israel interdicted, seized, you know, kidnapped, abducted
14:30
all of the people on board all of the ships, taking all the
14:33
ships, I think in total 40 boats.
14:35
We'll look at the numbers in a moment here, but here are some
14:39
of the details we'll bring up on screen.
14:41
Israel faced international condemnation and protests on
14:44
Thursday after its military intercepted almost all of the 40
14:50
boats in this wave of the flotilla.
14:53
And they're carrying aid to Gaza.
14:55
And they took captive more than 450 foreign activists,
14:59
humanitarians, including Swedish campaigner Greta Thunberg.
15:03
So I think because Greta was on board, that's probably one of
15:07
the reasons why this got so much mainstream coverage and because
15:11
she's by far the most high profile activist individual on
15:17
there. So from that point of view, from
15:18
there, from the organization and the effort of the campaign's
15:21
point of view, I think that was probably the a positive thing
15:24
here. Now we've broken down some of
15:26
the details and granular analysis of this at 21st Century
15:30
Wire, the headline Israel, the Pirates of the Mediterranean.
15:34
It's going to only be described as a massive act of piracy on
15:39
the high seas and we'll look at the international law in a
15:42
moment. But here, here's a video clip.
15:45
We'll bring this up on on screen.
15:47
And this is interesting. So this here's here we have
15:50
footage of which I'll I'll speak over the top of, but here we
15:54
have footage of the idea of actually boarding, actually
15:57
boarding one one of the ships. So they all had CCTV cameras
16:02
that were live streaming. The boats were very well
16:04
prepared as you can see the idea for coming up here on this
16:08
particular vessel. And so this is how it kind of
16:11
went. And so over the course of 14
16:14
hours, IDF forces seized, illegally seized the boats,
16:21
impounded all the humanitarian aid on board, including baby
16:25
formula and things like this, you know, just things that you
16:29
can't get, including fresh water in Gaza here.
16:33
And you can see this is one of the the parts where they're
16:36
actually boarding. What you'll find here towards
16:39
the end of this clip is interesting.
16:41
They basically stormed the boats and held the humanitarians at
16:45
gunpoint. They had their weapons drawn and
16:49
fingers more almost on the trigger.
16:52
I, I didn't take a close enough look, but as you can see on this
16:55
footage here, it'll sort of advance in a moment towards
16:58
that, that point where you can see with the, with the actual
17:01
weapons drawn as they get onto the ship, pointing the barrels
17:04
of their, the muscles of their guns, automatic weapons in the
17:08
faces, in the backs of the heads in some cases of some of the
17:12
humanitarians and people on board this ship.
17:15
Now these are people from European countries, South
17:17
America, from Asia, from the United States, from Northern
17:22
Ireland, from the Republic of Ireland, from from Great Britain
17:26
and from North Africa as well, including Arabic Arab members as
17:33
well from Arab countries. So it's, it's, that's, that's
17:36
what's happening. It's absolutely incredible.
17:38
Now there is an amazing piece of footage, Brian Tiago Avila, who
17:44
is from Brazil, He was on one of the earlier individual boats
17:48
that basically got got seized, I think the Magdalene.
17:52
And he was incarcerated and cap captive in the Israeli gulag was
17:59
released, went back home and he came back on the global Sumud
18:02
with many more boats. And this is when the IDF are
18:06
hailing his boat and this the you'll hear his reply to the
18:11
Israeli person, the Israeli person at the other end with an
18:13
American suburbian accent, which is something in itself.
18:18
But listen to his. I mean, it's a powerful,
18:21
powerful statement he made to the Israelis.
18:25
Here we've got the audio clip which we can watch an.
18:30
Active war zone If you could an attempt to breach the naval
18:34
blockade, we will stop your vessel and act to confiscate it
18:38
through legal proceedings in court bear full responsibility
18:42
for your actions. Say that we are entering an
18:46
active war zone. You're saying that we're
18:48
entering a place where you're committing war crimes.
18:51
This is against international law.
18:53
Once again, the International Court of Justice made a
18:57
provisional ruling that any attempt to hinder humanitarian
19:00
mission to Gaza, it's prohibited by international law and is
19:04
complying with the request to make you accountable for the
19:08
crime of genocide. The International Criminal Court
19:11
has your Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu under an arrest
19:15
warrant for the crime of starving children and starving
19:20
people to death, using starvation as and famine as a
19:24
weapon of war. Therefore, it's a moral duty to
19:29
continue sailing. It's our moral duty to refuse
19:32
any attempt of an occupying force to control humanitarian
19:36
aid for the Palestinian people in Gaza who have the right of
19:40
their sovereignty, who have the right of their self
19:42
determination and to control their own borders.
19:46
Therefore, we do not recognize you as a legitimate agent to
19:52
control any attempt to bring aid to the Palestinian people in
19:56
Gaza. We request you to stand down, to
19:59
do not commit another war crime among so many that you've been
20:03
committing, and to stand down, do not engage with our peaceful,
20:08
nonviolent, humanitarian solidarity mission for the
20:11
Palestinian people in Gaza. I advise you again.
20:18
So as you can see, I mean, a powerful statement there I that
20:20
will go down in history and in my book anyway, as one of the
20:24
greatest sort of confrontations. They're really telling the
20:28
Israelis where things are at now.
20:29
We just do just for prudence jurisprudence, Brian here, we'll
20:34
pull up the United Nations Convention as a law of the sea.
20:37
So people know they can go to that's page seven of the table
20:39
of contents and that will link you to this documents available
20:42
online. Just a Google search there and
20:46
also just on terms of the territory waters, these boats,
20:49
most of them were, were were seized about 70 to 100 nautical
20:53
miles off the coast of Israeli controlled waters of occupied
20:58
Palestine here. And we'll just blow up this,
21:01
this point here, territorial sea up to a limit not exceeding 12
21:06
nautical miles. So clearly Israel's in violation
21:11
of all international law and the law of the sea.
21:15
And I, I will add as well. And this was relayed to us.
21:18
We were in touch and talking to two of the boats and three
21:21
members of the flotilla, including Doctor Frank Romano
21:25
and also the the journalist Yader Madarelli.
21:28
She is an Italian journalist who's also a contributor at 21st
21:33
Century wire.com. She was on the Metech boat along
21:37
with the Irish comedian and performing artist Tag Hickey.
21:42
And so they were able to relay some of this information to us.
21:45
Israel had sent a message to all of these boats to go to the port
21:50
of Ashkelon and they said you will not be harmed.
21:53
We will take your humanitarian aid and distribute it to the
21:56
people of Gaza. But because certain people had
21:59
had had a very violent experience with the Israelis
22:02
before, they said they didn't trust them and the made a
22:05
decision not to take the Israeli offer to go to the Israeli port
22:10
of Ashkelon. And they said, no, we're
22:12
bringing humanitarian aid, we're within international law, we're
22:15
going to Gaza. And so they did.
22:18
So that was an interesting detail here.
22:20
And we'll this is a press release here.
22:23
And this was from the flotilla. This is from their legal
22:26
representative in the UK. And they're saying Global Sumot
22:30
flotilla is urging UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to take
22:34
immediate steps to ensure their safety and security in the face
22:37
of attacks. And they add it is urgent that
22:40
the UK government joins Spain and Italy and ensuring the
22:43
security of the flotilla. Now, that came just a few days
22:46
ago. Obviously, things have changed
22:48
now. And this is quite extraordinary
22:51
here. One boat nearly made it through.
22:54
And you can see people on the beach here, Brian, in Gaza, on
22:58
the Strip. And the boat called the Makino.
23:01
The Makino made it 9 miles off the coast before it.
23:05
It was eventually seized by the IDF, by the Israeli forces.
23:11
It nearly made it through. So they nearly overwhelmed the
23:14
Israeli naval assets. And this the people were just
23:19
hoping that some of this aid would make it through.
23:22
And we have a video, one of the young girls, her name is Shaheed
23:26
Shaheed on on shore. And she she she released this
23:31
video of her drawing a picture of the flotilla coming is quite
23:35
a moving video. We just thought we'd share it
23:38
with you because it's just extraordinary.
23:39
But go ahead and roll that. None.
24:17
So it's pretty extraordinary. And also we're going to add here
24:21
that there is another wave of flotilla ships coming from
24:24
another sister organization, the Freedom Flotilla Coalition here.
24:28
Reuters is running the live stream from these boats, which
24:32
to me is incredible that that's actually happening.
24:35
So they're on the way. There's a number of ships in
24:38
there. And there's other flotillas that
24:39
are being launched from Turkey as well.
24:43
They're heading to Gaza. So we'll see what happens.
24:45
They've got a list here of some of the new ships.
24:48
We'll put that up on screen. People can go to the Global
24:51
Summit of Flotilla account. We've got the the the X account
24:55
here. We'll bring their account page
24:57
up on screen next. But that's where people go for
25:00
updates. You can go and find all of their
25:02
stuff there. And yeah, I thought I'd just add
25:06
here, we'll bring this up on screen.
25:08
Israeli Navy seizes flotilla ships.
25:11
That was a previous slide anyway.
25:12
But while they're while they're pounding, while they're pounding
25:16
Gaza and basically destroying whole blocks, residential
25:21
blocks, that's what's actually happening.
25:24
So it's, it's an incredible situation there.
25:27
And we we gave a live stream interview here where we'll put
25:31
up on screen on the Sunday wire on Sunday.
25:34
We spoke to Yara Madarelli and Tag Hickey on the live via
25:38
Starlink. And you can look at the, you
25:41
can, you can look at the, the, the, the full interview up at
25:45
21st Century wire.com. It's just advance one more.
25:48
And you can see their faces there.
25:50
There they are. And so that was a great
25:53
conversation. That's the last live stream
25:55
interview they did before they were seized.
25:58
They're currently and incarcerated in Israel.
26:01
So that's where that story is at the moment.
26:03
It's an, it's an extraordinary story, but we'll, we'll find out
26:07
more hopefully by the end of today and by Monday.
26:11
Patrick, thank you very much for that report.
26:13
There's a lot to discuss there. We'll save some of it for UK
26:16
column extra after today's news. But yeah, lots of questions to
26:21
be asked about actions in territory, in international
26:25
waters. Mark, let's bring you on.
26:28
Welcome to UK column news today. I'll just say that one thing is
26:32
for sure that as the wars go on in the Middle East, as in
26:37
Ukraine and in Ukraine, it's the international banking system
26:40
rubbing their hands with Glee as more and more profits are
26:45
accrued from the war, the violence, the ammunition, the
26:49
munitions. And not surprising, I think that
26:52
you focused in on Mark Carney today.
26:56
Indeed, keeping my eye on the think tanks like usual, they
27:01
again kind of cement the relationship between the
27:04
plutocratic class and the political class, Always an
27:06
important thing to watch. This time I went to the good old
27:09
Council on Foreign Relations itself, not its Chicago cousin
27:13
and not Chatham House and Mark Carney, your friend and mine,
27:16
the neoliberal banker, the emblematic face of international
27:20
banking, formerly Bank of Canada, formerly Bank of
27:23
England. He's now PM of Canada, replacing
27:27
Trudeau of course, and he spoke with Michael Froman very
27:31
recently this past week about the foreign policy of Canada.
27:36
And briefly I'll before I get into the fact that they talked
27:39
about the two state solution and Carney's apparent support of it.
27:43
They got into a little bit more about the big trade deals and
27:46
some of the trade intentions. And let's put this on the on the
27:49
screen in terms of Canada's foreign policy economically.
27:54
Mr. Carney touched on the existing comprehensive and
27:57
progressive agreement for Trans Pacific Partnership, the CPTPP.
28:02
It's an existing thing, but it it took all the way from 2006 up
28:06
to the relative present to get it all buttoned together back
28:10
and forth over the years. And it's focusing like
28:13
digitally, like the digitally foundation, they're focusing on
28:16
the Indo Pacific. Now the world's leading region
28:19
of economic growth is offering big opportunities for trade and
28:22
expansion, things like that. And the the UK is reaching the
28:28
one year mark. Let's put that on the screen.
28:32
And as of December 15th this year, the UK will will have
28:36
reached a one year mark. If it was a little less than a
28:38
year ago that the UK officially became a member of this trade
28:42
partnership, that's 11 or so nations, counting Canada and
28:47
Brunei and Japan and several others.
28:51
People can read that from the show notes and this is marking a
28:54
significant achievement for the UK as the first non founding and
28:58
1st European country to join this trade partnership.
29:02
The UK is now the second largest economy in this group after
29:06
Japan. And I'll mention too that this
29:09
ties into last week. We'll show this just as a
29:12
reminder when I did an update on the Ditchley Foundation having
29:16
just concluded another one of their meetings.
29:18
They're also focusing in a slightly more military strategy
29:22
context on the Indo Pacific area.
29:25
So there's there's a lot of focus on on the Indo Pacific
29:29
area in terms of trade, in terms of policing the globe, things
29:33
like that. Now I have some video clips
29:36
because the conversation quickly turned to Gaza and Mr. Carney
29:41
briefly mentioned that they're going to expand trade within
29:45
Canada and reduce trade barriers and improve the regulatory
29:49
framework among the Canadian provinces.
29:52
And also the Canada, because of friction with the United States
29:56
is going to reach out to the European Union much more in
29:59
terms of trade and investments. Although Canada recognizes it
30:03
still needs to be in good standing with the US, US,
30:08
Mexico, Canada agreement that replaced NAFTA a few years ago
30:12
and that that tripartite or or trilateral agreement rather is
30:17
going to be reviewed again in 2026.
30:20
So Kearney does want to stay with good relations with the US
30:24
and Mexico for purposes of that agreement, even though he's
30:27
going to do more in in trade within Canada and with the
30:30
European Union. And the European Union is
30:33
actually looking at joining that Trans Pacific partnership that I
30:36
just described. So that that's still in the in
30:39
the making. But Mr. Carney then told Michael
30:42
Froman of the CFR that he and Canada support A2 state
30:47
solution. Now how sincere and how
30:49
meaningful this is remains to be seen.
30:51
But let's listen to a little bit about what Mr. Carney had to say
30:56
about it had to say, excuse me about a two state solution.
31:00
I believe yesterday Canada joined some European countries
31:05
in recognizing Palestinian statehood.
31:08
What do you expect that to accomplish?
31:11
Well, I think the first thing to say is this is consistent with
31:16
our policy. Since 1947, since 19, every
31:20
Canadian government, whether of whatever political stripe, has
31:23
supported A2 state solution as as many other countries have
31:28
what we have been seeing. 1st. Because of the acts of these
31:33
Highness acts of Hamas. But then other in, in terms of
31:37
response is that that prospect is receding before our eyes.
31:41
OK, So the idea of waiting until all the conditions are in place
31:46
for a, a free and viable Palestinian state committed to
31:50
peace and security side by side with the state of Israel.
31:55
What what I've called a Zionist Palestinian state, which is what
31:59
we want those conditions being in place, keeping the concept
32:06
there on the shelf when it is the avowed policy of the Israeli
32:11
government that there will never be a Palestinian state.
32:15
That is the policy of the current Israeli government and
32:17
their actions are consistent with with that policy.
32:23
And I can just concentrate on what's going on in the West Bank
32:27
without touching Gaza. So what we, what we're looking
32:32
to accomplish is to, is to keep that front and center to be with
32:40
a host of influential but not decisive countries.
32:45
So we're alongside the Kingdom of Saudi, not in the
32:47
recognition, but as part of this process, Kingdom of Saudi
32:50
Arabia, France, UK, Australia, Qatar, Egypt, others, Norway,
33:00
you know, actively trying to create conditions at a minimum
33:06
for a ceasefire obviously, and then a peace process.
33:10
That's that's part of that. Yeah, interestingly enough, and
33:17
it's worth mentioning, Michael Froman, the host, he happens to
33:21
be Jewish. There's a lot of Jewish
33:22
influence at the CFR. David Rubenstein is the head of
33:26
the board of directors, the chairman of the board of the
33:28
CFR. And so the the neoliberal wing
33:33
of of certain Jewish interests and the CFR in general, which is
33:37
globalist, generally speaking, is obviously much more
33:41
sympathetic to Gaza. Now, whether it's too little too
33:44
late or whether this is just for optics, just just for, you know,
33:49
public relations and maybe they're not real sincere or
33:52
maybe they're not real hopeful that it'll ever happen.
33:54
The two state solution, some of that remains to be seen.
33:59
We have one other, I believe shorter clip from Mark Carney
34:02
that sort of rounds out what he just got done saying, however.
34:07
We're under no illusions that this is any sort of panacea, but
34:13
it's necessary in our judgement. It's and the judgement of most
34:18
other countries in the world that we have to push on this now
34:24
because as I say, the the, the possibility in absolute
34:29
violation of the UN Charter, in an absolute violation of
34:32
international law of self determination for the
34:34
Palestinian peoples is, is is being erased.
34:41
So he is saying that the the window of opportunity is quickly
34:44
closing. Now moving on, we have the
34:47
president emeritus of the CFR who also just happened to, you
34:52
know, grow up in in a Jewish heritage.
34:53
And he once considered being a Rabbi Richard Haass on foreign
34:58
affairs. He posted this article with a
35:01
rather interesting headline. A Palestinian state would be
35:04
good for Israel, but that had a pay pay window on it.
35:10
And so I found another article that was very similar in tone
35:14
and I got a couple quotes from the former president of the CFR
35:18
about this issue. The first one he said the
35:20
following regarding France, the UK, Canada and Australia
35:24
recognizing the state of Palestine.
35:27
Behind this move is deep frustration with what Israel is
35:30
doing in Gaza and the West Bank, with their own inability to
35:34
influence Israeli actions, those that want statehood for
35:38
Palestine, and with what is seen as US passivity and
35:42
unwillingness to reign in Israel, Mr. House went on to
35:46
say, and he also had this to say.
35:49
One problem is that, at least for the time being, the shift
35:54
towards statehood A2 state solution is just rhetorical.
35:58
The decision to recognize a Palestinian state does not
36:01
improve the prospect of ending the war in Gaza or actually
36:05
creating a viable Palestinian state.
36:08
So Mr. Haas is sounding a more pessimistic note on this, Brian.
36:15
But nevertheless, the the globalist community that usually
36:18
is somewhat pro Israel or kind of silent on the matter is being
36:21
a little more outspoken and we'll we'll see where that goes.
36:25
Meanwhile, of course, they're trying to juice up that
36:27
worldwide trade deal that is a ongoing holiday for the bankers
36:32
and those in the banking community.
36:33
So back to you. Mark, thank you very much.
36:37
My opinion on that Mark Carney speaking there was that he was
36:42
terrified that he might say the wrong thing and what came out
36:46
was effectively woeful, but he was very frightened of saying
36:50
the wrong thing and criticizing the very Zionist state which he
36:54
says needs to needs to be formed again.
36:58
We'll come come on to this more in UK column extra now important
37:03
thing to say is a huge thank you to everybody that supports UK
37:06
column. Wherever you are in the world.
37:08
It is your financial support through memberships or donations
37:13
or purchases through our online shop which keep the UK column
37:17
going. And our ambition for 2026 is to
37:20
be growing in order to get more news content out and of course,
37:26
to help that reach as far as possible.
37:29
Now, if you get onto the website, you can go to the
37:32
Support our Work and the click button in order to sign up with
37:37
a monthly or annual membership. We'll make a donation.
37:41
And we'd encourage as many people as possible to do this if
37:44
you appreciate what we do and would like us to grow.
37:48
Now we have been, of course, mentioning our online Sorry UK
37:53
column on location event in York coming up on the 18th.
37:57
Some really excellent speakers, Andrew Wakefield, Doctor Liz
38:01
Evans, Ben, our own Ben Rubin, Tess Laurie and Sir Julian Rose.
38:06
But if you're not able to get there, we've sold out of those
38:09
tickets. You can of course view via on
38:12
our online system and if you visit UK column shop, you can
38:17
purchase an online viewing ticket.
38:20
So if you were there overseas, excuse me, and you'd like to
38:24
join us, have a think about that live stream ticket now on the UK
38:31
column websites, Military matters, a discussion between
38:35
Charles Mallett and myself, Brian Garish.
38:37
That one's gone up. We've had some very interesting
38:40
comments. We're just talking in very quiet
38:43
terms about what's happening in Britain's military and we're
38:46
really asking a question. Does the country need military
38:51
people and should people be signing up with UK with EU KS
38:55
military? Have a look at that via the
38:58
website if you haven't already seen it.
39:01
We've also got another article up, A Paradise for Zionism,
39:04
Celtic Park in the 1990s and the 2000s.
39:10
This interesting article. It's talking about the influence
39:13
of Zionism through sport. So not even sport is safe from
39:17
being used as a political tool. And lastly, we just remind
39:23
people that 1000 words where the subject of the painting is Katie
39:30
Jo Murphin. That's now up on UK column, but
39:33
that is only available to UK column members.
39:38
Well, let's move on to the subject of the Paloma Shimrani
39:44
inquests Now. I'm going to label this straight
39:46
away a highly dangerous inquest for the nation in respect to
39:50
free will and justice. And with regard to today's news
39:54
headlines in the UK, personally I think that this was the most
39:59
important news. Now, in the first instance, it's
40:02
not in relation to what many have described as a very strange
40:07
inquest. Some people have said they've
40:10
regarded as being manipulated. This is for discussion on
40:13
another time, but I wanted to draw people's attention to what
40:18
Kate, sorry with sorry, Marianna Spring had to say about this
40:24
inquest. She's talking, of course, about
40:26
Kate Chemerani and her daughter Paloma.
40:29
And this is a big BBC article which is entitled Why We
40:33
Struggle to Protect the Young from Conspiracy Theorist
40:37
Parents. My goodness, this is an
40:40
extremely dangerous article by Marianna Spring, and it's
40:47
dangerous. It's very offensive still in the
40:51
way that she is used for the suffering as a family in order
40:54
to get her political points across.
40:57
Why am I saying this? Well let's just have a look at 2
41:00
quotes here. This is the first one.
41:02
She's talking about the case. This has raised broader
41:06
questions around the influence and impact the conspiracy
41:09
theories held by parents, where beliefs stretch far beyond
41:13
genuine concerns can have on children, including adult
41:18
children, and in order to help protect children in the most
41:21
extreme cases, where should the line be drawn between child
41:25
protection and a parent's freedom to raise their child
41:30
according to their own beliefs? This is immensely dangerous and
41:36
people should remember that a few years ago children's
41:40
services were used in UK to attack a family because of their
41:45
political beliefs in supporting UKIP.
41:49
Kate Chemerani goes on. There's a sub headline trusting
41:53
parents. I beg your pardon?
41:55
Mariana Spring goes on to say trusting parents versus the
42:00
state. In theory children should be
42:03
protected. Any adult can raise concerns
42:06
about a child's well-being with a local authority, including if
42:09
there's a worry a child is being harmed by parental beliefs.
42:13
If it's then decided the child is at risk of harm, an
42:16
application can be made to the family court for orders to
42:20
protect them. But in reality, legal experts
42:23
tell me this is Marianna Spring. The threshold for intervention
42:28
is high. Well, of course, she knows
42:30
nothing about the so-called child protection system.
42:33
And I believe that what's happening here is an immensely
42:37
dangerous attack on parents for their beliefs, with the
42:41
implication that children will be taken from you as a family if
42:46
you do not have the correct political and social beliefs.
42:51
So I'll leave people to take that, to take that on board.
42:56
And let's just move on now with the subject of pharmaceuticals
43:02
and Bach. Let's bring you back.
43:04
And the subject is Trump and Pfizer's loving.
43:09
Well, I'm not altogether sure if it's 11, but there's a lot of
43:12
questions being asked now. This first slide is from the
43:15
Defender, the Children's Health Defense, which of course is RFK.
43:20
The current HHSHHS heads former outfit.
43:24
So RFK now being part of Trump's cabinet, his own former outfit
43:30
is asking a lot of questions. The headline being secrecy over
43:33
the Trump Pfizer deal sparks a FOIA, sparks FOIA demands,
43:37
Freedom of Information demands and some public outcry.
43:40
Pfizer stock jumped Tuesday after CEO of Pfizer Albert Borla
43:45
and President Trump announced a deal to lower US drug prices and
43:49
invest 70 billion in domestic manufacturing.
43:52
And then Pfizer, at least for a time, would be relieved of any
43:55
tariff charges. So I'll also go on to share this
44:00
slide. It's very important.
44:01
I mark the important part in red.
44:03
No tariffs and Medicaid ready. Trump held a press conference
44:07
with Borla 30 September. Under the deal, Trump will
44:10
refrain from imposing tariffs. It'll be Pfizer in turn, will
44:16
boost its domestic manufacturing, excuse me, make
44:18
its drugs available to Medicaid at a discounted rate and sell
44:22
its products directly to US patients at a discounted rate
44:26
via the yet to be launched government website Trump RX.
44:31
A rather curious development to say the least.
44:34
And this is from the same day. Just just so we can see what
44:38
they're saying. This is Pfizer's own press
44:40
release about the same deal Pfizer reaches landmark
44:43
agreement. They're calling it landmark and
44:45
historic. Those two words are being used
44:48
with the US government to lower drug costs for American
44:51
patients. Now I'll mention here, Brian,
44:53
that I I talked to a a long time American Free Press reader and
44:57
Blogger last night and a couple other people whose views are in
45:01
fact they're mostly MAGA people to a degree Trump supporters.
45:05
And they feel there's a lot of benefits here in terms of a
45:10
lowering drug prices because the idea is to make the Medicaid,
45:15
the Medicaid linked drug prices in the states comparable with
45:19
what what the drug prices that are paid in Europe.
45:22
Trump is seating seeking kind of an equilibrium or inequality
45:25
there. And they feel that's tantamount
45:28
or similar to giving a Social Security increase to some of
45:32
these senior citizens in the states.
45:34
If you lower their drug cost, that's similar to raising their
45:37
Social Security payments that that kind of indirect benefit.
45:42
There was also talk about that it is helpful that more jobs
45:46
will be created, that the drug companies, like them or not, are
45:50
part of the overall industrial base of any given nation.
45:53
So improving the job prospects in the states, better paying
45:58
jobs can be a plus that they see as well.
46:01
But there's also other questions, of course, in terms
46:04
of how this will affect vaccine policy.
46:07
Now on this press, this is drawn from the Pfizer press release.
46:10
Let's just show these quick bulleted items.
46:13
This historic landmark agreement provides certainty from tariffs
46:17
and clarity on pricing, which furthers Pfizer's ability to
46:21
expand investment in US based innovation and return
46:25
manufacturing to the US. And Pfizer will fully focus on
46:29
delivering the next generation of cures, especially in cancer,
46:34
obesity, vaccines and inflammation and immunology.
46:40
So that's a little more from Pfizer.
46:41
Now I have a little bit more from the Children's Health
46:44
Defense. And this rounds out this report,
46:46
Brian. State Medicaid programs will be
46:50
able to access Pfizer's products at prices similar to what the
46:53
car company charges other wealthy nations.
46:56
As I mentioned, Pfizer has agreed to increase its drug
46:59
prices in other countries a little bit while lowering them
47:02
in the USA little bit. So that it's fair, Trump was
47:06
quoted as saying. Kind of an equaling effect.
47:09
However, Pfizer did not agree to cut the prices it currently
47:13
offers to employers, private insurers and Medicare.
47:18
Medicare being purely a federal medical coverage.
47:21
Medicaid is combination state and federal medical coverage.
47:26
The White House has not released details about the 70 billion
47:30
that Pfizer agreed to spend on US domestic manufacturing
47:34
facilities. Those details, at the very
47:35
least, are not available yet. So there's a lot of unanswered
47:39
questions amid some practical benefits perhaps, but with big
47:44
Pharma, of course, any advantages it would get right
47:48
when The Who is wrapping up the pandemic treaty, right when
47:52
another pandemic could conceivably be declared.
47:55
Will this be particularly advantageous for Pfizer even
47:59
even over and above other pharmaceutical companies?
48:02
That and many other questions have yet to be asked or
48:05
answered, Brian. But this initial report shows
48:08
that they're very important questions to ask amid whatever
48:12
benefits there may be. So, so back to you at this
48:14
point. Mark, thank you very much.
48:17
Absolutely, we must keep our eye firmly on the global
48:22
pharmaceutical system and the immense power of these
48:26
pharmaceutical companies. And as you say, many more
48:29
questions to ask. Patrick, let's bring you back.
48:33
And the subject is France and Ukraine.
48:37
I think you're surely going to be bringing Macron back on
48:39
screen. So, fresh from his dinner
48:42
alongside Keir Starmer and Queen Mary of Denmark, what's Macron
48:48
been up to in this field? That's right, the testosterone
48:53
is teaming through his veins. As you can imagine, he is poised
48:57
to take a tough leading role here in showing the Russians who
49:02
is boss in Europe. And a major move has been made,
49:06
a major escalation actually. So he's been giving his orders
49:10
to take the lead on the escalation with Russia.
49:14
Just look at this headline. This is the thing that we all
49:17
feared. Macron leads a charge against
49:19
Russia's so-called shadow fleet. These are oil tankers, other
49:23
trade vessels that are reflagged, common practice
49:27
around the world and throughout history.
49:28
But but Russia, it's being framed in nefarious terms.
49:32
Keir Starmer himself a few months ago, which we reported
49:35
on, he said we need to do something.
49:37
We need to stop all these ships in the Baltic.
49:39
We need to make it untenable for the Russians.
49:42
So here it is. We'll bring this up on screen on
49:44
Wednesday, Brian. October 1st, Paris announced
49:47
that on the 27th September it had detained a, quote,
49:50
suspicious vessel off the French coast and the ship was under
49:54
investigation for maritime offenses.
49:57
It was operating under a false flag, says the president of
50:02
France. But it it was exactly the same
50:04
vessel that had been checked by Estonian March for the same
50:08
reasons. So nefarious Russian vessels
50:11
with false flags, but they're boarding ships.
50:14
How long before they start impounding them here?
50:17
And so this is what it's all about.
50:19
We'll go to the statements of intent.
50:21
It is extremely important, says Macron, to increase pressure on
50:25
the shadow fleet because it clearly reduces Russia's ability
50:29
to fund this war effort. So this is their back to the old
50:32
Kennard from from February 2022. We need to stop Russia from
50:37
selling oil because it's funding the war in Ukraine.
50:40
I mean, it's just kind of a spurious claim, an excuse to
50:44
declare economic warfare. But there's more to it here.
50:47
And we'll go back to this statement.
50:49
And this is what the game that's being laid out looks like,
50:52
Brian, in the coming days, our chiefs of staff in coordination
50:56
with NATO and within the framework of the, quote,
50:59
coalition of the willing. I remember that that was the one
51:02
they used in Iraq. But we digress.
51:05
Macron continues. A group of some 35 countries
51:08
have had to come together to provide security guarantees for
51:12
Ukraine in the event of a ceasefire.
51:15
And we'll meet to create joint actions in the coming weeks.
51:18
So this is the sort of escalation we start impounding
51:22
ships on the high sea and preventing Russia from trading
51:27
with other countries, physically preventing them.
51:30
This is usually a prelude to war.
51:32
It has been historically. So I think that's kind of what
51:35
we're looking at here, Brian. I think it's usually disturbing
51:39
and we'll be reporting on this going forward.
51:42
Thank you. Thank you, Patrick, absolutely
51:44
agree with your concerns. We can see that, yes, the next
51:48
thing could well be that these Russian ships were actually
51:51
stopped and boarded on the international seas and that
51:55
would take things into a new area very, very quickly.
51:59
Now let's come back to the subject of the UK and Prince
52:04
William has been speaking to, not least to the BBC.
52:10
He's talking about changing the monarchy when he's king, but
52:13
he's also talking about stress around the, excuse me, the
52:17
family overwhelming him. Let's just have a little look at
52:21
this video clip. If history doesn't overwhelm
52:29
you, is there anything that does?
52:33
Yeah, I think stuff to do with family overwhelms me quite a
52:37
bit. You know, worry or stress around
52:40
family side of things that does overwhelm me quite a bit.
52:43
But in terms of, you know, doing the job and things like that, I
52:49
I don't feel too overwhelmed by that.
52:51
Not now anyway. When I was younger.
52:52
Yeah, there are bits that overwhelm you a bit like, whoa,
52:54
are we actually doing this? This is sort of happening, but
52:58
with with time and age, I think you feel a bit more settled in
53:02
that side of things and you go, actually I could do that and
53:07
even a few curveballs come in. That doesn't necessarily well,
53:09
me when it's to do with family and things like that.
53:12
Then that's why I start getting a bit overwhelmed, as I think
53:14
most people would. Well, I've got to say that I
53:18
didn't interview didn't fill me with confidence.
53:21
This man seems to have so many personal and family problems, I
53:25
begin to question whether he's actually capable of doing the
53:27
job of being an effective monarch in UK.
53:31
This is some of the quotes that have come out today.
53:35
Change is coming is effectively what he's saying.
53:39
I think it's safe to say that change is on my agenda, change
53:42
for good and I embrace that. I enjoy that change, I don't
53:46
fear it. That's the bit that excites me,
53:48
the idea of being able to bring some change, he went on.
53:54
Sorry, I'll repeat there. I don't fear it.
53:56
That's the bit that excites me. I think if you're not careful,
54:00
history can be a real weight and an anchor around you, and you
54:03
can feel suffocated by it and restricted by it too much.
54:08
So history is coming into the sites as far as Williams
54:13
concerned. There are points when you look
54:16
at tradition and go is that still fit for purpose today?
54:20
Is that still the right thing to do?
54:22
Are we still doing and having the most impact we could be
54:25
having? So I'm going to ask a question
54:28
on today's UK column news. And that is, it seems to me from
54:32
what he's saying in very vague, veiled terms, that UK's
54:36
Christian history and traditions are going to be out.
54:40
And what we're going to get from William is more woke
54:42
multicultural history and traditions.
54:45
That's what will be coming in. But we'll wait and see how
54:49
accurate I am on that little prediction.
54:53
So Patrick as well, can you back again?
54:56
And the subject is Moldova. Yes, I just want to point
55:02
people, we showed this a couple weeks ago, this situation that's
55:06
been brewing, we're warning it's coming and the elections have
55:09
happened this past week. Here's the headline.
55:11
Moldova pro EU party wins majority in election dominated
55:16
by quote Russian interference. So there's a lot of reports and
55:19
accusations about Russian interference in the Moldovan
55:23
elections. It's a very, very key territory
55:26
strategically right alongside Ukraine is likely that this is
55:30
going to he uses another front. But we'll bring up the the
55:34
leader here who just recently did a state visit to the UK and
55:38
met King Charles. So where our headline is EU NATO
55:42
win Moldovan election because that's really the take away
55:45
here. And so if we look at some of the
55:47
interesting details to pay attention to, they talk about
55:51
Russian interference in the mainstream media.
55:53
But 22 pro Russian parties, the heart of Moldova and Moldova,
55:57
Maher, were barred from the vote on Friday over allegations of
56:02
illegal financing and vote buying.
56:04
So again, allegations they were barred.
56:07
So they took away some significant electoral blocks
56:11
there. But this is 1.6 million voted.
56:14
That's approximately 52% of the eligible electorate in that
56:19
country. But this is the interesting part
56:21
288,000 that's 17.5% of the total coming from overseas
56:27
diaspora polling sites. Now how you can't break that
56:31
down because the Moldovan government's not giving
56:34
statistics on who voted which way on all of these overseas
56:39
polling sites. So it's tiny little country, but
56:41
with a huge diaspora around the world.
56:45
Now which which way that diaspora is leaning, pro
56:48
European or pro Russian? It's not altogether clear.
56:51
Now the the ones in Transnistria, this is the
56:54
autonomous pro Russian breakaway Republic.
56:57
There were bomb scares at their polling sites.
57:00
They had to leave Transnistria and travel 20 miles or so to
57:03
vote in a Moldovan poll site because they still have Moldovan
57:08
passports. Ostensibly they can still vote,
57:11
but there were bomb scares at some of these polling sites.
57:14
That's interesting out. There's also reported bomb
57:16
scares at some of the overseas, certain overseas polling sites
57:21
as well. So that's kind of interesting,
57:24
but the the bottom line here, and we warned about this a
57:27
couple weeks ago, we'll bring this up on screen.
57:29
You can see that map, why it's so important strategically.
57:32
But what we're warning is destabilizing Moldova, Europe
57:35
and Zelensky's plan to thwart Trump, Putin peace efforts with
57:40
provocations in Transnistria. So this could be opening up a
57:46
new front to draw Ukraine into Transnistria.
57:49
Transnistria and which is pro Russian is a 1500 Russian
57:54
peacekeepers there. And Zalenski would immediately
57:57
go to Trump and say, Donald, look, the the the Russians have
58:01
it will be a false flag attack. That's my prediction.
58:04
But they'll be the Russians. We need more cash, more weapons.
58:08
Please give us more weapons. And then we'll give the
58:09
Europeans something to rally around.
58:12
You know, so that's how I see the whole Ukraine gambit is
58:16
stalled so badly at the moment. This would provide them with
58:20
something fresh, something new and shiny for the media and the
58:24
political elites in Europe and for Trump, too, to rally around
58:28
this new sort of front. That's that could open up here.
58:31
That's what we're afraid of. We hope that doesn't happen, but
58:35
it's certainly lining up that way, especially with these
58:38
election results. Patrick, thank you very much for
58:42
that report. And yeah, it certainly seems
58:44
that what we are not seeing is Western politicians, US,
58:48
European, UK politicians really being passionate on the world
58:53
stage for peace and obtaining peace, whether it's in Ukraine
58:58
or or Eastern Europe or or into Gaza.
59:03
This is something they simply will not do.
59:06
Now let's have a look at a little bit of good news for the
59:10
end of today's UK column News. And we're back on the subject
59:13
about what ordinary people are now starting to do.
59:17
And a big thank you to Will Coleshill, who's been out on the
59:20
streets looking at the Labour conference and also talking to
59:25
some local people. Let's have a look.
59:30
Good morning ladies and gentlemen.
59:31
This is Will Coleshill reporting today.
59:32
I'm down outside the Labour Conference and the Farmers to
59:35
Action and together and veterans and bikers protests against Keir
59:39
Starmer, his policies, his death tax and everything else.
59:42
Today we have a united front, so we're going to be going around
59:44
speaking to people and seeing what their views are on a range
59:47
of different issues, but they've all united today and I think
59:50
it's going to be quite interesting.
59:51
Anything that's brought you out here today?
59:53
Support, isn't it? Support, Support for the
59:55
farmers. You've got to do much speaking,
59:57
but I support the farmers, you know what I mean?
1:00:00
But the shouting, what everything you've heard before
1:00:02
over there, it's fact in it. So pick up the farmers, come
1:00:07
with farmers. To action.
1:00:08
Support them and just get the message across.
1:00:11
But the inheritance tax needs to be abolished for all, not just
1:00:14
for farmers. And if you want food, you've got
1:00:17
to look after a farmer basically.
1:00:19
I don't want to be like China. Simple as.
1:00:21
Keir Starmer is trying to override the Bill of Rights.
1:00:23
They tried to use the Supreme Court to override the mandate of
1:00:26
the British public multiple times.
1:00:27
Now the latest move by the communist regime is to enforce
1:00:30
the digital ID. It's fantastic.
1:00:32
We heard today outside the Labour conference, as many of
1:00:34
you know, Labour have let this country know miserably and we
1:00:36
heard to send a message to Keir Starmer we will not accept
1:00:39
mandatory digital ID. It's something to do with the
1:00:44
fact that Keir Starmer is putting veterans at risk again.
1:00:49
They restarting the vexatious prosecutions of Northern Ireland
1:00:54
veterans. The new legislation that he is
1:00:58
purporting to do in in the command paper is absolutely
1:01:03
useless. It will just reopen old wounds
1:01:06
and put us back in the dock. I'm Rob and we're together.
1:01:10
We're here protesting against digital ID and also in support
1:01:13
of the farmers today, so really excellent to see people not only
1:01:19
out on. The streets brave enough to
1:01:21
stand up and give their view, but extremely well informed in
1:01:25
the subjects that they're interested in.
1:01:27
And this means that they're putting across a very coherent
1:01:31
argument to pull apart these pernicious globalist policies.
1:01:36
Now, if that were protesters, if that was protesters outside the
1:01:40
Labour conference, let's have a little look about how wills he
1:01:43
got on when he went to speak to some of the advance political
1:01:48
party supporters immigration is. One that's clearly become an
1:01:57
urgent problem and needs need to get on top of that.
1:02:00
I've worked for the council on my life.
1:02:03
We were told to. Watch out for grooming gangs.
1:02:05
Well, yet nothing's ever been done about them.
1:02:07
Well, obviously immigration is a big one.
1:02:09
You know that's that's. The topic everybody wants to
1:02:12
talk about, me personally though, I'm, I'm into defence
1:02:15
and I don't like the way Labour are doing their strategic
1:02:18
defence review. So that's, that's a big one for
1:02:20
me personally. And obviously the, the other
1:02:23
major issue that we've got at the moment is freedom.
1:02:26
It's been eroded in every sense of the word.
1:02:28
And freedom of speech in particular is one of the big,
1:02:30
big things that seems to be going in this country.
1:02:33
Democracy really. And we're not, we're not getting
1:02:36
that. The economy, the people who are
1:02:39
running the finances of this country are messing it up.
1:02:42
And I would say some are even deliberately wanting to do so.
1:02:45
There's some really dark stuff going on.
1:02:47
The lower middle classes are being forced out of owning land.
1:02:51
Whether you believe in the conspiracies or not, I am
1:02:55
worried about things like and economic communism, for example,
1:02:59
coming from the WEAI mean. I worked in schools for a long
1:03:02
time. Teachers actually have.
1:03:03
Food in their drawers for children.
1:03:05
That shouldn't be happening in the UK, Sorry.
1:03:08
Not when we're we're actually feeding other people.
1:03:10
Who've never paid a penny in the.
1:03:12
System. We've got a couple of things in
1:03:14
common and those things in common.
1:03:15
Are we want freedom of speech and we love Britain, we love our
1:03:20
country, the culture, the fabric of society.
1:03:24
So family values, our beliefs, our values, what we the the
1:03:29
unwritten intangible things that hold the glue that holds society
1:03:35
tightly together in bringing back their Christian values to
1:03:37
to Great Britain so. Really excellent.
1:03:41
To see those people, they know. They're subject, they're not
1:03:44
going to sit quietly and idly by while these pernicious globalist
1:03:49
policies come in. And of course, these are the
1:03:52
very people not only to get local councillors elected in the
1:03:57
future, to get their own MPs elected.
1:04:00
These are the people able to stop these policies as they come
1:04:05
through to local level via the city councils and the local
1:04:09
councils. So we'll end there.
1:04:11
Well done to all those people who are saying no, we're not
1:04:15
having these terrible policies. From Keir Starmer, Patrick,
1:04:19
thank you very much for joining me.
1:04:21
Beautiful location there in France.
1:04:24
And big thank you to Mark Anderson for coming into today's
1:04:29
news as well. We will have auk column extra
1:04:32
for our members in a few moments, so if you can join us
1:04:36
then for everybody else, a huge thank you for joining today's UK
1:04:41
column news. We will see you next Monday.
1:04:44
Bye bye.
