well i think there's a massive well of
dissatisfaction in the country about the
political class about the political
system most people have dropped out of
it most people
have long ago ceased to join political
parties attend their meetings and so on
nowadays it's a kind of virtual politics
for a minority of the electorate but
there's a big well out there of that
dissatisfaction and if someone comes
along to articulate it to make the case
for the alienate it
then they're ready to rally and i think
that's what happens especially young
people
do you think though that your anti-war
message
resonated particularly with the muslim
community here no i think most people in
britain are anti-war it's only the
mainstream parties that are pro-war and
the media which generally parrots their
line
most people in britain of all faiths and
none of all colors are against these
wars because we have neither the blood
nor the treasure to spare in occupying
other people's countries and setting
fire to them so you want to end the
mission in afghanistan you call it a
mission i call it a war uh it's a very
odd and sanitized what this mission new
labor has begun to use it regularly it's
not a mission it's a war it's an
occupation in which real blood of real
people is spilled and it's time to bring
britain out of afghanistan right now not
a moment too soon and that's a feeling
that's shared by the majority of people
in britain
do you though condemn those who attack
british troops of course i don't it's
inevitable that people are going to
attack british and american forces that
are occupying their country if you don't
mind me saying so that's a very silly
question if our country was occupied we
would attack the occupier that's why i
want our soldiers out of there because i
don't want any more of them coming back
in boxes and i don't want them leaving
other people in boxes
