1
00:00:00,199 --> 00:00:01,159
thank

2
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:02,760
[Applause]

3
00:00:01,159 --> 00:00:07,040
you

4
00:00:02,760 --> 00:00:11,160
uh Jeremy listening to your introduction

5
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:14,599
and my friends Sheamus and

6
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:19,000
Andrew I honestly didn't know whether to

7
00:00:14,599 --> 00:00:24,000
laugh or cry though cry uh was the most

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:28,679
likely uh outcome it is

9
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:31,119
surreal to hear collated in This way

10
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:35,960
everything that we in the anti-war

11
00:00:31,119 --> 00:00:37,280
movement predicted 13 years ago almost

12
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:42,079
to a

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:43,200
tea Mr Blair likes now to say that he

14
00:00:42,079 --> 00:00:45,719
has been

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:48,160
surprised by the

16
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:51,199
subsequent uh course of

17
00:00:48,160 --> 00:00:56,320
events but that's just another

18
00:00:51,199 --> 00:00:59,000
lie because he heard it from

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:01,039
Millions even when they didn't know what

20
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,680
they know now

21
00:01:01,039 --> 00:01:05,239
that there were no weapons of mass

22
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:06,880
destruction that the entire thing was a

23
00:01:05,239 --> 00:01:09,799
tower of

24
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:12,320
Lies but he heard it face to face manto

25
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:14,960
man from me outside the gentleman's

26
00:01:12,320 --> 00:01:18,240
laboratory in the library Corridor of

27
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:23,200
the House of Commons to be

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:25,320
precise I told him that the fall of

29
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:27,759
Baghdad would not be the beginning of

30
00:01:25,320 --> 00:01:30,159
the end but just the end of the

31
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:31,640
beginning I told him there were no

32
00:01:30,159 --> 00:01:35,439
al-Qaeda in

33
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:37,079
Iraq but if he and Bush invaded there

34
00:01:35,439 --> 00:01:40,119
would be hundreds of thousands of

35
00:01:37,079 --> 00:01:42,799
al-Qaeda in Iraq that

36
00:01:40,119 --> 00:01:44,960
the extremists would

37
00:01:42,799 --> 00:01:48,680
descend like

38
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:52,200
spores on the wounds that he and Bush

39
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:55,360
were ready to open I told them that if

40
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:58,039
you invade and occupy Iraq with hundreds

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:02:01,079
of thousands of Western soldiers in

42
00:01:58,039 --> 00:02:04,600
George Bush's Crusade

43
00:02:01,079 --> 00:02:08,520
extremism will Cascade all over the

44
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:11,800
world even I said in our own

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:13,400
country more than two years before it

46
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:15,000
did on

47
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:18,760
77

48
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:22,160
200 five I talked about this Hydra at

49
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:25,000
this point Alistair Campbell about whom

50
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,160
more later pulled him away because it

51
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:33,560
was threatening to get

52
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:35,360
physical so it is so real to me to hear

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,680
you and Andrew and

54
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:44,879
Sheamus adumbrate the theaters of

55
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:47,080
conflict and I I won't repeat most of

56
00:02:44,879 --> 00:02:51,760
them but Sheamus

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:54,599
said that or you did Jeremy welcome to

58
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:58,159
this very secure

59
00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:00,400
building well we must hope it is uh a

60
00:02:58,159 --> 00:03:03,200
very secure building if it is is it is

61
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:06,000
one of the few in this country that can

62
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,120
be so described as a very secure

63
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,840
building I want to

64
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,720
talk about our prediction that if you

65
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:17,599
make war against Muslims abroad you will

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:20,760
end up at war with Muslims at home

67
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:24,480
nothing could be more certain if you

68
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:28,000
pump the air full of hatred of Muslims

69
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:30,360
Muslim leaders Muslim countries Rogues

70
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:34,400
terrorists do you expect

71
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:38,200
expect the Tabloid media and other

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:40,680
sections of the media do you expect the

73
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:43,959
right the

74
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:47,879
racists to make a distinction

75
00:03:43,959 --> 00:03:52,280
between that Muslim over there and the

76
00:03:47,879 --> 00:03:56,079
one praying in the mosque on my street

77
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:59,159
or who owns a shop or a restaurant at

78
00:03:56,079 --> 00:04:02,159
just around the corner from me what kind

79
00:03:59,159 --> 00:04:04,480
of level of Consciousness do you imagine

80
00:04:02,159 --> 00:04:08,640
exists that if you

81
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:10,560
demonize Islam and its various leaders

82
00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:15,280
to the extent that you are

83
00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:17,560
doing you are sowing Dragon's Teeth and

84
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:22,320
you will reap the

85
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:27,040
Whirlwind and we haven't yet not since

86
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:29,160
2005 but I can tell you it's not a state

87
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:31,360
secret and if it is I'm going to tell

88
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,320
you anyway

89
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:37,160
that the head of the British Security

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:41,720
Services says that an attack in Britain

91
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:44,160
is and I quote him virtually

92
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:46,720
inevitable now he may not have meant it

93
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:49,120
quite so strongly he did have a price

94
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,639
tag at the end asking for more money and

95
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,800
more resources but if it is virtually

96
00:04:52,639 --> 00:04:58,520
inevitable that means it's almost

97
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,919
certain to happen if I told you it's

98
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,199
virtually inevitable when when you go

99
00:04:59,919 --> 00:05:03,560
out there that you're going to be

100
00:05:01,199 --> 00:05:04,320
knocked down by a bus you wouldn't cross

101
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,880
the

102
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:10,240
road so we must assume that he's telling

103
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:13,160
the truth and that some kind of variant

104
00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:16,759
of these Paris

105
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:18,919
atrocities is coming our way which of

106
00:05:16,759 --> 00:05:23,240
course will add yet another

107
00:05:18,919 --> 00:05:27,280
twist yet more hatred yet more bigotry

108
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:30,960
yet more recruits for the

109
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:33,759
extremists and the

110
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,120
Fanatics so the wars that you are

111
00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:40,039
describing And discussing this evening

112
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:42,199
have to include the war at

113
00:05:40,039 --> 00:05:45,840
home it turns

114
00:05:42,199 --> 00:05:51,080
out that we have the opposite of what we

115
00:05:45,840 --> 00:05:54,319
need we need smart better

116
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:57,960
intelligence but we have fools it would

117
00:05:54,319 --> 00:06:00,600
appear in charge of our security I just

118
00:05:57,960 --> 00:06:02,759
read the guardian to

119
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:07,520
tonight that

120
00:06:02,759 --> 00:06:10,840
gchq has been busy hoovering up the

121
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:14,680
emails of the journalists on the BBC the

122
00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:16,560
guardian The Daily Mail the sun Reuters

123
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:19,759
NBC

124
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:23,440
ABC did they think that there might be

125
00:06:19,759 --> 00:06:26,639
some jihadists working for the daily

126
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:29,199
maal is this the use to which they're

127
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:31,039
putting the money and resources that

128
00:06:29,199 --> 00:06:33,840
they they

129
00:06:31,039 --> 00:06:35,800
have they're spending billions we don't

130
00:06:33,840 --> 00:06:38,240
know how many because it's a state

131
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:40,360
secret it's not

132
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:44,800
revealed but

133
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:46,039
they couldn't keep track of the two

134
00:06:44,800 --> 00:06:48,160
fanatic

135
00:06:46,039 --> 00:06:52,240
murderers who

136
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:54,240
decapitated Lee rig in broad daylight in

137
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:57,440
a South London

138
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:59,400
Street they have again I hope it's not a

139
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:03,120
state secret they have for the first

140
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:04,919
first time in British history

141
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:08,240
dispersed the

142
00:07:04,919 --> 00:07:11,599
SAS across the country no longer based

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:14,680
in one place Herod but dispersed around

144
00:07:11,599 --> 00:07:17,560
the country because they believe that

145
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,360
this attack Mumbai style attack when it

146
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:24,479
comes will take place in what they call

147
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:27,199
the provinces rather than in

148
00:07:24,479 --> 00:07:31,560
London and they need to have SAS

149
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:34,840
soldiers nearby uh for a quick

150
00:07:31,560 --> 00:07:37,479
reaction so this is a pretty disastrous

151
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,840
situation that we

152
00:07:37,479 --> 00:07:43,440
face and it is

153
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:45,240
all of course I'm not exculpating the

154
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:49,360
actual

155
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:52,120
murderers who should be in prison for 99

156
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:54,720
years the people who killed

157
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:56,720
rig but that doesn't mean we can avoid

158
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,879
telling the truth as I told William hag

159
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:02,680
in the lift in this very building

160
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:06,159
I told William Hig these two people who

161
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:08,720
killed that soldier in South London if

162
00:08:06,159 --> 00:08:10,199
they had gone to Syria instead you would

163
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,840
have paid their

164
00:08:10,199 --> 00:08:17,680
airfare you would have bought them the

165
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:21,599
knives our policy of supporting from the

166
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:24,360
1980s until now this day David Cameron's

167
00:08:21,599 --> 00:08:26,080
just announced we are going to be

168
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,919
training

169
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:34,120
moderate islamists in Syria and hoping

170
00:08:29,919 --> 00:08:36,959
they don't defect to Al-Qaeda or Isis as

171
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,080
soon as we have trained them like all

172
00:08:36,959 --> 00:08:43,279
the weapons we gave which were

173
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:47,000
immediately stolen by ISIS and

174
00:08:43,279 --> 00:08:51,279
Al-Qaeda our policy of building these

175
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:54,480
Frankenstein monsters around the world

176
00:08:51,279 --> 00:08:58,640
is proof that they never read the novel

177
00:08:54,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Frankenstein to the end for if they had

178
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,560
they would not know that once you've

179
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,760
built

180
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:08,399
it it's out of your

181
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:11,800
control that's why it's called a

182
00:09:08,399 --> 00:09:14,040
monster once you've created it it will

183
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:17,640
do whatever it

184
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:20,040
likes and that's exactly what has been

185
00:09:17,640 --> 00:09:22,560
happening it's what happened in France

186
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:26,120
it's what happened in Belgium and if the

187
00:09:22,560 --> 00:09:29,360
security services here are uh to be

188
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,959
believed it's virtually inevitable that

189
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:34,360
it's going to

190
00:09:30,959 --> 00:09:37,040
happen here one last point before I go

191
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:40,959
to the Grim and room

192
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Jeremy somebody asked me today in an

193
00:09:40,959 --> 00:09:49,560
interview what can we do to stop this

194
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:49,560
radicalization should we ban

195
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:55,320
WhatsApp should

196
00:09:51,519 --> 00:09:57,720
we stop these

197
00:09:55,320 --> 00:10:00,360
preachers preachers of

198
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:04,880
hate in tabloid

199
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:07,440
speak should organizations like hisb and

200
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:10,279
others be

201
00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:14,680
prescribed I told the interviewer the

202
00:10:10,279 --> 00:10:17,360
only thing necessary to radicalize a

203
00:10:14,680 --> 00:10:19,040
Muslim in Britain today is the ability

204
00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:21,120
to watch the

205
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:24,720
television last

206
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:28,399
summer everybody including the 2 million

207
00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,760
Muslims watched not just the slaughter

208
00:10:28,399 --> 00:10:35,040
of two

209
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:37,800
,60 Palestinians trapped in the Gaza

210
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:40,760
Strip 500 of them

211
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:43,240
children the majority of them women and

212
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,519
children with nowhere to run and nowhere

213
00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:48,160
to hide not only did they have to watch

214
00:10:45,519 --> 00:10:50,120
that happening they had to watch our

215
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,160
government supporting the

216
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,639
murderers they had to watch our

217
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:57,160
government supporting those carrying out

218
00:10:54,639 --> 00:11:00,200
the slaughter as did the

219
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:03,440
French and Muslims

220
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,079
everywhere Cy what is remarkable is that

221
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:08,040
there are so few

222
00:11:05,079 --> 00:11:12,639
Fanatics so few

223
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:15,320
extremists not that there are so many so

224
00:11:12,639 --> 00:11:19,480
Sheamus is Right Andrew is

225
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:22,920
right what is to be done the opposite of

226
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:25,920
what we're doing it's not rocket

227
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:29,160
science we should do nothing

228
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:30,639
else and reverse that which we are doing

229
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,600
on the principle that when you're in a

230
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:35,240
hole stop

231
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:38,440
digging we should stop supporting the

232
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:41,600
murderers in Gaza and start supporting

233
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:45,720
the victims of the murderers in Gaza we

234
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,720
should stop invading and

235
00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:50,760
occupying one Muslim country after

236
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:53,680
another and subverting one Muslim

237
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:56,040
country after another backing the

238
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:58,480
extremists in Syria supporting the

239
00:11:56,040 --> 00:12:01,399
military Juna and Egypt and so on we

240
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:05,399
should stop stop it and let the people

241
00:12:01,399 --> 00:12:09,440
of those countries decide their own

242
00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:12,440
future stop propping up these rotten

243
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:15,160
corrupt dictators who rule the Muslim

244
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:18,959
World almost without exception from one

245
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:20,839
end to the other Saudi Arabia which was

246
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:23,720
at the front of the march in Paris by

247
00:12:20,839 --> 00:12:27,120
the way the Saudi Ambassador was

248
00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:31,560
Marching for press freedom and freedom

249
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:35,880

250
00:12:31,560 --> 00:12:41,600
week that they were lashing with a whip

251
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:43,880
in public 50 times for the next 20

252
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:47,600
weeks someone who wrote A

253
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:51,680
Blog criticizing not Islam not the

254
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:53,680
prophet criticizing the corrupt

255
00:12:51,680 --> 00:12:57,320
appointees in the religious

256
00:12:53,680 --> 00:13:01,079
establishment who are merely stoes of

257
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:04,240
the kleptocracy that run Saudi Arabia

258
00:13:01,079 --> 00:13:06,560

261
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:15,040
them more trainers when they invade

262
00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:18,800
their neighbor bahin we support

263
00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:21,680
it how seriously can any Muslim take our

264
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:23,800
protestations of being in favor of

265
00:13:21,680 --> 00:13:27,519
freedom and

266
00:13:23,800 --> 00:13:29,279
liberty freedom of speech when our best

267
00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:33,120
friend is the
