more 46 00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:48,680 for poorer people than they did in 13 47 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:51,040 years George Galloway you were a labor 48 00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:53,040 MP for a number of

questions affect me 144 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,479 as well I am that person that's driving 145 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,039 over the same roads with the potholes I 146 00:05:21,479 --> 00:05:25,280 am that person that's being penalized 147 00:05:23,039 --> 00:05:27,039 with high car insurance these things are 148 00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:29,160 the local issues that need 149 00:05:27,039 --> 00:05:31,360 addressing there are currently a 150 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:34,039 millionaire empty Residential Properties 151 00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:36,479 across the UK and thousands of them are 152 00:05:34,039 --> 00:05:38,520 right here in the center of Bradford by 153 00:05:36,479 --> 00:05:40,360 putting them back into use we could 154 00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:42,840 solve most of the affordable housing 155 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:45,120 crisis at a stroke these old backto 156 00:05:42,840 --> 00:05:47,000 backs would make excellent starter homes 157 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:49,960 but look at the state of this is nothing 158 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,520 short of tragic darood Islam who's going 159 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:54,440 to pay for all those empty homes you 160 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:56,600 want to refurbish well of course the 161 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:58,560 green New Deal is one of the areas where 162 00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:01,840 we would remove the way that we look at 163 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:04,440 taxation um and make the the people that 164 00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:06,840 are are the polluter of society pay for 165 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:08,720 more um we think that the people that 166 00:06:06,840 --> 00:06:11,280 are furthest removed from the credit 167 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:14,800 crunch that is people on benefits people 168 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:16,720 in uh low paid jobs uh the vulnerable 169 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,639 and the disabled these are the people 170 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,919 that have absolutely nothing to do with 171 00:06:18,639 --> 00:06:22,400 causing the financial crisis but these 172 00:06:20,919 --> 00:06:24,120 are the very people that are being asked 173 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,280 to pay for it by the coalition 174 00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:28,280 government and that's just plain wrong 175 00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:29,840 let me bring in Sonia MCN because up 176 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:31,720 until earlier this year you were member 177 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:34,080 of the green party now you're ukip I 178 00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:35,880 mean that's a 180° turn isn't it 179 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:38,120 absolutely and you don't make decisions 180 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,639 likely I looked at things looked at the 181 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:42,280 green party I've been there with with 182 00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:44,960 them for a while and then looked at ukip 183 00:06:42,280 --> 00:06:48,120 and what ukip had to offer and offer the 184 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,199 people was better and I firmly believe 185 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,720 that otherwise I wouldn't have changed 186 00:06:50,199 --> 00:06:54,280 George Galloway in your election 187 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:57,160 literature you talk about bringing the 188 00:06:54,280 --> 00:06:58,960 troops home from Afghanistan in a week 189 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,759 when we've seen six soldiers from the 190 00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:04,800 north of England and their bodies flown 191 00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:06,599 back from that country is this the right 192 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:09,080 time to be talking about that subject 193 00:07:06,599 --> 00:07:10,879 well they've come home in a box and I 194 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:13,120 want the rest to come home before they 195 00:07:10,879 --> 00:07:15,479 come home in boxes and I don't want 196 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,919 anybody else planted in the ground as a 197 00:07:15,479 --> 00:07:19,960 result of a war that labor started and 198 00:07:17,919 --> 00:07:22,520 the Liberals and the conservative party 199 00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:24,280 support and by the way don't look as if 200 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:26,360 you're shocked most people in the 201 00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:28,080 country agree with me yeah but if you 202 00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:30,720 speak to the families of those soldiers 203 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:33,000 as I've done the mothers the parents 204 00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:34,800 they want our boys to stay there to 205 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,639 finish the job well that's simply not 206 00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,520 true I don't know is true how many how 207 00:07:36,639 --> 00:07:40,319 many families have you spoken to well 208 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,879 very many I'm the vice president of the 209 00:07:40,319 --> 00:07:43,759 stop the war Coalition if they' listen 210 00:07:41,879 --> 00:07:45,960 to me there wouldn't have been a war and 211 00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:48,199 the vice president of the stop the war 212 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,479 Coalition which contains a specific 213 00:07:48,199 --> 00:07:52,440 section of military families against the 214 00:07:50,479 --> 00:07:55,039 war and I could give you any number if 215 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:57,720 you'll give them air time of wives and 216 00:07:55,039 --> 00:07:59,759 mothers and children of dead soldiers 217 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,960 who will tell you the precise opposite 218 00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,960 the idea that we should stay and shed 219 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:06,039 more blood because of the blood we've 220 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:07,759 already shed is simply ridiculous that's 221 00:08:06,039 --> 00:08:09,759 the first world war mentality in the 222 00:08:07,759 --> 00:08:11,400 trenches but there will be a worry that 223 00:08:09,759 --> 00:08:13,319 those soldiers five of them from 224 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:16,280 Yorkshire who came home this week that 225 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:18,280 they have died in vain they have died in 226 00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,360 they have died in vain they shouldn't 227 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:22,639 have been sent there they were sent 228 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:25,120 there to their deaths by Tony Blair and 229 00:08:22,639 --> 00:08:27,120 George W bush and the Tories and the 230 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:29,080 Liberals are keeping them there it's 231 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:32,039 time to end the war in Afghanistan we 232 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,039 don't the blood or the treasure to waste 233 00:08:32,039 --> 00:08:36,640 in somebody else's country thousands of 234 00:08:34,039 --> 00:08:39,959 miles away Imran husin Bradford West has 235 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:42,959 a very large Muslim population is this a 236 00:08:39,959 --> 00:08:45,519 problem for you personally a war started 237 00:08:42,959 --> 00:08:49,480 by labor which is still supported by 238 00:08:45,519 --> 00:08:52,360 your party can I firstly say my thoughts 239 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:54,880 and prayers are with the families of of 240 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,760 of private Chris Kershaw from Bradford 241 00:08:54,880 --> 00:09:00,240 and the other 242 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:01,480 soldiers I don't think soldiers uh uh 243 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,519 are to blame in any of this where 244 00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:05,399 soldiers don't make decisions and 245 00:09:03,519 --> 00:09:07,000 soldiers are carrying out their job and 246 00:09:05,399 --> 00:09:10,279 I think it's always important to 247 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,519 remember that I do believe that the 248 00:09:10,279 --> 00:09:15,519 soldiers need to come back and I've 249 00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:18,079 maintained that uh however I do believe 250 00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:19,680 that equally we can't have extremists 251 00:09:18,079 --> 00:09:22,079 doing what they're doing across the 252 00:09:19,680 --> 00:09:24,440 world and those problems need to be SED 253 00:09:22,079 --> 00:09:26,959 so you support the war in Afghanistan I 254 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:29,399 I I support getting rid of extremism 255 00:09:26,959 --> 00:09:32,320 wherever that may be and I certainly 256 00:09:29,399 --> 00:09:34,079 support our boys now would you would you 257 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,480 support young Muslim men from your 258 00:09:34,079 --> 00:09:37,959 constituency joining the British army 259 00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,079 would you would you advise them that's a 260 00:09:37,959 --> 00:09:41,399 good career move if that's what they 261 00:09:40,079 --> 00:09:42,720 choose as a career move it's no 262 00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:44,600 different to any other career move and 263 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:47,240 if that's everybody's got to make a 264 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:49,800 choice as to what ker they choose and if 265 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:52,959 that's a Korea move they choose then I 266 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:54,920 wish them the best let's put that on DVD 267 00:09:52,959 --> 00:09:58,640 and distributor around the doors I can 268 00:09:54,920 --> 00:10:00,279 tell you that in Manningham and in Toler 269 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:02,600 and coming out of the mosques that I've 270 00:10:00,279 --> 00:10:05,760 just been at what Imran Hussein just 271 00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:07,519 said was committing political suicide do 272 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:10,360 you agree with that I don't agree with 273 00:10:07,519 --> 00:10:12,720 that at all I think ordinary Muslims in 274 00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,120 Bradford would agree with what I've said 275 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,000 ordinary Muslims in Bradford are 276 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,640 peaceloving and don't support extremism 277 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,279 and I think they're very vocal about 278 00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:21,800 that and they would agree with me that 279 00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:25,040 we need to stop 280 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:26,720 extremism the extrem whereever we and 281 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,200 Bush were the extremists they the 282 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,959 terrorists they are the people that 283 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,880 killed more than a million people why 284 00:10:29,959 --> 00:10:34,640 don't you admit it you leader the man 285 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:37,920 you loved if I can finish ordinary 286 00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:40,320 Muslims throughout this country are the 287 00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:43,120 most peaceloving people that don't 288 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:45,800 support extremists wherever that is and 289 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:48,000 I also feel I can provide a strong voice 290 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,920 because I think we do need that voice 291 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:51,639 that might be the case IM R but the fact 292 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,880 is that the war in Afghanistan has 293 00:10:51,639 --> 00:10:55,200 created homegrown terrorists we're 294 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,880 supposed to be going out there to 295 00:10:55,200 --> 00:11:00,200 prevent terrorism happening but the 7 s 296 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:02,639 bombings happened as a direct result of 297 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:05,639 our involvement in Iran and Afghanistan 298 00:11:02,639 --> 00:11:07,560 so how do you close and square that this 299 00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,560 is an election about Radford West and 300 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:11,800 I'm really concerned that we keep 301 00:11:09,560 --> 00:11:13,639 bringing we keep following an agenda 302 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,360 which is about stop the war and that's 303 00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:18,200 the right and the legitimate agenda to 304 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:20,240 fight actually this is this is an an 305 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,800 election about what happens in Bradford 306 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,480 West to the lives of the young 307 00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,839 parliamentary election I don't know if 308 00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,560 you think you're fighting a council 309 00:11:24,839 --> 00:11:28,440 election this is for a member of 310 00:11:26,560 --> 00:11:29,839 parliament now you can send councilors 311 00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,480 to Parliament you can send a 312 00:11:29,839 --> 00:11:32,800 parliamentarian to Parliament I think 313 00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,959 you'll find that's what people choose to 314 00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,440 barely got a record Jud as a government 315 00:11:34,959 --> 00:11:38,639 we've already announced that we're going 316 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:42,000 to withdraw the troops aren't we by by 317 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:43,680 2014 and and that's dependent on 318 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,399 Afghanistan being able to look after its 319 00:11:43,680 --> 00:11:48,000 own security let's bring this back to 320 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:49,200 Bradford and the economy of Bradford 321 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,560 which I think is going to dominate the 322 00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:52,160 rest of the campaign I mean David 323 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,360 Cameron came to Bradford the other day I 324 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,240 mean all right there was big 325 00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:57,200 announcements for the city in the budget 326 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:59,440 uh the the rail line electrification to 327 00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,160 Manchester super fast broadband I mean 328 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:03,720 does this have the width of of pork 329 00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:05,399 barrel politics I don't think so I think 330 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,040 these are were all planned events that 331 00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:09,200 were going to happen now we have to 332 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:11,040 remember that we inherited a massive 333 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:13,920 amount of debt and we've got to look at 334 00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,560 the way we can manage it and uh you know 335 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:17,279 I think that the the actions that we're 336 00:12:15,560 --> 00:12:19,560 taking are all positive things you know 337 00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:21,600 bringing all these people 24 million 338 00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:23,639 people will have will be better off pay 339 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,519 paying less tax 2 million completely out 340 00:12:23,639 --> 00:12:28,000 of out of Taxation and it's going to and 341 00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:29,920 we're going to do very positive things 342 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:31,360 to bring people back into employment 343 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,959 young people are going to get the chance 344 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,560 to get apprenticeships work experience 345 00:12:33,959 --> 00:12:38,240 and jobs and we've got real incentives 346 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:40,120 Financial incentives to give two 347 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:42,240 employers to encourage them to take on 348 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:44,120 young people I think we can do a lot in 349 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,880 Bradford West and I hope that they'll 350 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,399 give me the chance to to move this 351 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,000 forward and Janette sun do you don't 352 00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:50,800 think your candidate is going to be 353 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,320 scarred by the actions of the coalition 354 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,120 government don't think this is a 355 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:55,480 referendum on the Coalition I think that 356 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,959 the time for the referendum on the 357 00:12:55,480 --> 00:13:00,959 Coalition is 2015 it's got its eyes 358 00:12:57,959 --> 00:13:03,120 firmly fixed on 2015 he's got his eyes 359 00:13:00,959 --> 00:13:04,399 firmly fixed on sorting out the economy 360 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,600 this is about what happens here in 361 00:13:04,399 --> 00:13:08,360 Bradford West the day after on the 30th 362 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:10,199 of March and who they have fighting for 363 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,079 them in Parliament I don't think that 364 00:13:10,199 --> 00:13:13,480 the the budget delivered sufficiently 365 00:13:12,079 --> 00:13:15,360 for Bradford West I don't think it 366 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,040 delivered sufficiently for Bradford and 367 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,760 it needs people to campaign and campaign 368 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,320 on those issues George Galloway who will 369 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,399 you represent if you're elected in 370 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,880 Parliament the the Muslim population of 371 00:13:22,399 --> 00:13:26,959 Bradford or the white working class I 372 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:28,399 never make these differentiations and 373 00:13:26,959 --> 00:13:29,839 this is four or five times you've done 374 00:13:28,399 --> 00:13:32,040 it in this program and it's very 375 00:13:29,839 --> 00:13:34,279 dangerous and irresponsible you are 376 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:36,240 targeting Muslim areas there no doubt 377 00:13:34,279 --> 00:13:38,240 about that false completely FAL so how 378 00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:40,440 many posters have you got up in Thornton 379 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:44,320 in clayon well quite a few actually 380 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:46,639 quite a few but but my supporters put 381 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:49,399 their own posters up unlike Imran who 382 00:13:46,639 --> 00:13:51,320 get them put up for them the people 383 00:13:49,399 --> 00:13:52,759 decide whether to put posters up and the 384 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:55,759 people decide who they're going to vote 385 00:13:52,759 --> 00:13:58,680 for but it is flatly untrue that I'm 386 00:13:55,759 --> 00:13:59,680 targeting any specific ethnicity or 387 00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:01,759 religion 388 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:04,440 for votes and it's irresponsible of you 389 00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:06,800 to suggest that every voter in Bradford 390 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,519 West is the equal of the other there's 391 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,519 nothing second class about a Muslim 392 00:14:08,519 --> 00:14:12,240 voter that you're somehow supposed to be 393 00:14:10,519 --> 00:14:14,560 embarrassed because you want them to 394 00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:17,800 vote for you and I reject it and resent 395 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,959 it and so do they Imran Hussein what are 396 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:21,279 people telling you on the streets of 397 00:14:18,959 --> 00:14:22,920 batford about what is important to them 398 00:14:21,279 --> 00:14:23,800 one of the biggest problems is around 399 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,680 youth 400 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,519 unemployment I mean but that happened 401 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,639 under lab that's not that's not a new 402 00:14:27,519 --> 00:14:32,720 phenomenon is it well 403 00:14:29,639 --> 00:14:35,000 since this time last year youth 404 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,199 long-term youth unemployment has 405 00:14:35,000 -->
