George Galloway in Bradford West no big

deal at first but that was before she

decided to reveal all about her past and

14
00:00:38,840 --> 00:00:43,760
here it is when I was six my dad left my

15
00:00:42,440 --> 00:00:47,960
mom for the neighbor's daughter who was

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:50,199
only 16 years old at the age of 8 my mom

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:53,120
couldn't buy her own house so um a man

18
00:00:50,199 --> 00:00:55,920
bought it for her at the age of 12 my

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,440
mom sent me to Pakistan to live there

20
00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:59,320
because she felt that I was risk of

21
00:00:57,440 --> 00:01:02,359
being at risk of being abused by the man

22
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:05,080
who' bought the house for us what sort

23
00:01:02,359 --> 00:01:07,479
of abuse might you have suffered had you

24
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,520
stayed as a 12-year-old girl it it my

25
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:10,759
mom when she told her story she told me

26
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,759
that she feared that I would have been

27
00:01:10,759 --> 00:01:15,040
exploited sexual abuse I would have been

28
00:01:12,759 --> 00:01:18,040
at risk of being sexually abused by the

29
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:19,680
guy who was abusing her when I was 15 I

30
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:22,159
had a forced marriage which I was

31
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,720
emotionally blackmailed into in

32
00:01:22,159 --> 00:01:27,759
Pakistan at 18 my Mom finally snapped

33
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,479
and killed the man who had been abusing

34
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:32,560
her so she'd sent me to Pakistan and I'd

35
00:01:30,479 --> 00:01:35,320
got married I'd come back I was saved if

36
00:01:32,560 --> 00:01:36,880
you like from his um potential abuse and

37
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:38,880
then my sister was 11 years old so my

38
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,600
sister was coming up to her age and I

39
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:43,079
think my mom had just had enough she'd

40
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:45,079
come to a stage where she just snapped

41
00:01:43,079 --> 00:01:47,360
she didn't care whether he lived or died

42
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:50,119
by the time my mom actually gave him the

43
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:52,040
F fatal do of poison which killed the

44
00:01:50,119 --> 00:01:55,040
guy she didn't care whether he lived or

45
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:58,159
died how conflicted are you about about

46
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,600
your mother about what she did and about

47
00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:02,600
why she did it my feelings aren't

48
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,880
conflicted I've reconciled that over the

49
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,799
last 23 years I'm very very clear that

50
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:09,879
there were failures by the community

51
00:02:06,799 --> 00:02:12,599
Elders by the family my own extended

52
00:02:09,879 --> 00:02:13,760
family by the men in society by the

53
00:02:12,599 --> 00:02:15,720
community in terms of their

54
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,920
interpretation and how their views are

55
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:20,560
on women in society their roles the role

56
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,720
of women I'm very clear about that what

57
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,160
I'm also clear about is that my

58
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,599
experiences have made me the person I

59
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:30,360
am incredibly NZ claims none of that's

60
00:02:28,599 --> 00:02:33,000
why she's in politics

61
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,000
the reason she says is called George

62
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,599
Galloway I actually thought that he

63
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,519
would change bord politics and he didn't

64
00:02:37,599 --> 00:02:41,920
so is he worried because I've never

65
00:02:39,519 --> 00:02:44,840
heard of her never met her never heard

66
00:02:41,920 --> 00:02:47,200
her speak and neither has anyone in the

67
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,840
Bradford West constituency we'll see

68
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,680
what kind of personality she's got what

69
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:55,680
she does have is a backstory that is

70
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:58,400
almost unbelievably tortured and uh pant

71
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,840
and I sympathize with her for that but

72
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,840
that's not a qualification for being

73
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:03,400
elected to Parliament people don't know

74
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,799
me I think once people know me and know

75
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,959
what I really am about um then yeah I

76
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:10,920
think I can win hearts and Minds would

77
00:03:07,959 --> 00:03:14,159
bmps are often accused of having no life

78
00:03:10,920 --> 00:03:18,480
before politics not this one Kieran
