1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,879
well it wouldn't be a Saturday in

2
00:00:01,959 --> 00:00:06,799
Belfast if there weren't protesters

3
00:00:03,879 --> 00:00:09,639
somewhere uh so I don't take it uh all

4
00:00:06,799 --> 00:00:11,960
that seriously the principal impact of

5
00:00:09,639 --> 00:00:15,599
those who tried to ban me from here was

6
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:18,760
to multiply the ticket sales so as a

7
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:21,199
sales strategy I suppose uh one should

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:24,960
hope for that kind of opposition every

9
00:00:21,199 --> 00:00:27,760
time thousand people paid 122 to come to

10
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:31,039
this very historic uh venue to hear my

11
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,200
take on things near and far and uh I

12
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:35,840
hope that they find it an entertaining

13
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:37,680
and enlightening experience I come in

14
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,200
peace I have no quarrel with anyone in

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,600
Belfast and I hope that people will

16
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,879
listen to what I have to say with an

17
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:46,399
open mind they say you're sympathetic to

18
00:00:44,879 --> 00:00:48,199
uh what's been described as terrorist

19
00:00:46,399 --> 00:00:50,280
movements here and around the world is

20
00:00:48,199 --> 00:00:53,120
that true well one man's terrorists

21
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:56,000
another man's Freedom Fighter of course

22
00:00:53,120 --> 00:01:00,440
uh I was a soldier in Nelson Mandela's

23
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,840
Army and he spent 27 years in the D of

24
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:06,439
aparte called a terrorist but everyone

25
00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:10,000
now knows that wasn't true uh so we have

26
00:01:06,439 --> 00:01:12,520
to analyze conflicts and analyze ways of

27
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:15,000
resolving them and in the case of the

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:17,439
Palestinian Israeli conflict I have some

29
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:19,280
novel ideas as to how we might solve

30
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:20,880
that and I'll be canvasing those this

31
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:22,880
evening what's your thoughts just

32
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:25,479
briefly on uh the situation in Iraq and

33
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:27,479
Syria and Islamic State it's a

34
00:01:25,479 --> 00:01:31,520
catastrophe I mean you really couldn't

35
00:01:27,479 --> 00:01:33,960
make this up uh we warned Mr Blair and

36
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:36,960
Mr Bush that if they invaded and

37
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:40,880
occupied an Arab Muslim country they

38
00:01:36,960 --> 00:01:43,399
would unleash dark Forces uh that would

39
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:46,360
uh eventually overwhelm the state and

40
00:01:43,399 --> 00:01:48,399
that's precisely what's happening we uh

41
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:51,320
didn't know quite what form it would

42
00:01:48,399 --> 00:01:53,079
take quite how dark it would be uh but

43
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:55,200
it's pretty dark and it's pretty

44
00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:56,799
overwhelming and the poor Iraqi people

45
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:59,000
who never asked to be invaded and

46
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:03,719
occupied in the first place are now

47
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,759
having to deal with this excrescence of

48
00:02:03,719 --> 00:02:08,399
hideous Savage terrorism entirely

49
00:02:06,759 --> 00:02:10,520
sectarian based people are being

50
00:02:08,399 --> 00:02:12,360
murdered even when they're of the same

51
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:14,120
religion as the people who are murdering

52
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,160
them but they may just have a tiny

53
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,000
Nuance of difference in

54
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:21,360
interpretation finally your thoughts on

55
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:25,680
the killing of Mr Foley shocking Savage

56
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:29,000
evil act uh and uh I could not bring

57
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:31,120
myself to watch it Tony Blair meanwhile

58
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:34,040
was sailing on a yacht off the coast of

59
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,400
Sicily not withstanding the stipend he

60
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,319
receives as the peace Envoy in the

61
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:42,480
Middle East as I say you really couldn't

62
00:02:38,319 --> 00:02:42,480
make this up per
