1 00:00:07,330 --> 00:00:13,639 so great seeing enjoy and Europe and 2 00:00:10,929 --> 00:00:17,179 first first thing I wanna watch is and 3 00:00:13,639 --> 00:00:20,630 why after Bradford West did you decide 4 00:00:17,179 --> 00:00:23,660 to run for mariaclement actually I 5 00:00:20,630 --> 00:00:26,480 decided I wanted to be mayor of london 6 00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:31,730 before the position actually existed I 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:36,920 think that the job is so big so powerful 8 00:00:31,730 --> 00:00:39,350 and so important that it's an honor to 9 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:42,770 run for it I've lived in London for 10 00:00:39,350 --> 00:00:45,800 almost 35 years my children have been 11 00:00:42,770 --> 00:00:48,410 born here grown up here go to school 12 00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,750 even my grandchildren are born here and 13 00:00:48,410 --> 00:00:52,910 growing up and going to school here so I 14 00:00:50,750 --> 00:00:56,600 really feel that this is the greatest 15 00:00:52,910 --> 00:00:59,240 city in the world but it's not great for 16 00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,720 everybody in it it's considerably 17 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:05,330 greater for people that boris johnson 18 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:09,560 represents the rich and the powerful 19 00:01:05,330 --> 00:01:11,390 those as i put it dripping in bolt but 20 00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:15,410 for the rest it's a bit of a struggle 21 00:01:11,390 --> 00:01:17,300 and of course if you are in a wonderful 22 00:01:15,410 --> 00:01:20,600 city but you don't have the means to 23 00:01:17,300 --> 00:01:25,250 enjoy it to have proper housing but then 24 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:28,940 it to get from A to B on a decent public 25 00:01:25,250 --> 00:01:31,520 transport system within it then it will 26 00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:35,420 begin to lose its luster a little and it 27 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:38,659 interesting and proposal emain was that 28 00:01:35,420 --> 00:01:40,790 if Diana Baur won the nomination you 29 00:01:38,659 --> 00:01:44,090 wouldn't have stood I just wondered why 30 00:01:40,790 --> 00:01:47,090 that why that was because diana baur is 31 00:01:44,090 --> 00:01:51,530 a friend of mine a comrade of mine for 32 00:01:47,090 --> 00:01:53,630 well over 30 years if Labour had 33 00:01:51,530 --> 00:01:56,450 selected her and they would have been 34 00:01:53,630 --> 00:01:59,799 wise to do so it would have been 35 00:01:56,450 --> 00:02:01,850 ridiculous for me to run against them I 36 00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:05,560 wouldn't have been able to look her in 37 00:02:01,850 --> 00:02:08,390 the eye and do that so immediately are 38 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:10,579 quite a time before labor chose it 39 00:02:08,390 --> 00:02:13,850 scanned the day that if she well the 40 00:02:10,579 --> 00:02:16,790 nominee I wouldn't be in the field 41 00:02:13,850 --> 00:02:19,910 but she went out early and they've 42 00:02:16,790 --> 00:02:23,570 chosen instead someone who frankly is 43 00:02:19,910 --> 00:02:27,770 not for stature I just wondering as well 44 00:02:23,570 --> 00:02:32,270 because city can't he nominated Jeremy 45 00:02:27,770 --> 00:02:35,090 Coleman and so did Diane Abbott so what 46 00:02:32,270 --> 00:02:37,130 separates the tube in your opinion well 47 00:02:35,090 --> 00:02:39,260 I knew that Sadiq Khan would do exactly 48 00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:42,950 what he has done that's why we know him 49 00:02:39,260 --> 00:02:45,590 as mr. flip-flop he nominated Jeremy 50 00:02:42,950 --> 00:02:48,410 Corbyn but he didn't vote for him he 51 00:02:45,590 --> 00:02:50,630 publicly announced on LBC radio that he 52 00:02:48,410 --> 00:02:53,540 would refuse to serve in his shadow 53 00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:56,750 cabinet and within a week I think maybe 54 00:02:53,540 --> 00:02:59,840 eight days of being selected as the 55 00:02:56,750 --> 00:03:02,900 label nominee for mayor he laid into 56 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:09,640 both Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonald in 57 00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:13,700 the most virulent Jones creating several 58 00:03:09,640 --> 00:03:16,700 very painful rods for their back in the 59 00:03:13,700 --> 00:03:19,730 future and an indication of his own 60 00:03:16,700 --> 00:03:22,160 conduct visa V them in the future he 61 00:03:19,730 --> 00:03:26,150 tells us every day usually in the most 62 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:28,400 unlikely places that he is not Ken 63 00:03:26,150 --> 00:03:31,760 Livingstone well actually definitely 64 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:35,210 isn't getting suspect yes right-wing 65 00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:37,040 newspapers of all kinds but he tells us 66 00:03:35,210 --> 00:03:39,680 every day that he's not going to be 67 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:43,100 jeremy corbyn's man in London that he's 68 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:47,120 going to stand up to Jeremy Corbyn that 69 00:03:43,100 --> 00:03:49,520 on some very powerful and important 70 00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:52,400 issues he agrees with Boris Johnson 71 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:54,770 rather than Jeremy Corbyn and John 72 00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:58,010 Rudolph for example the so-called robin 73 00:03:54,770 --> 00:04:00,530 hood tax on financial transactions in 74 00:03:58,010 --> 00:04:02,990 the city which would raise a gigantic 75 00:04:00,530 --> 00:04:05,720 amount of revenue hundreds of billions 76 00:04:02,990 --> 00:04:11,060 of pounds that could be available to a 77 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:14,570 Labour government for a social projects 78 00:04:11,060 --> 00:04:16,280 public infrastructure and so on he's 79 00:04:14,570 --> 00:04:19,160 opposed to it and he's going to defend 80 00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:21,260 the city against Jeremy Corbyn and John 81 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:25,430 McDonald on the robin hood tax that the 82 00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:27,760 most vile thing that he did within eight 83 00:04:25,430 --> 00:04:33,230 days of being so they 84 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:38,000 he accused Jeremy Corbyn of encouraging 85 00:04:33,230 --> 00:04:42,139 anti-semitism and terrorism because of 86 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:45,710 his stand for Palestinian rights and for 87 00:04:42,139 --> 00:04:48,740 Irish rights more historically and he 88 00:04:45,710 --> 00:04:52,220 threw in John McDonald too so he set the 89 00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:54,590 hair running from the Labour mayoral 90 00:04:52,220 --> 00:04:56,930 candidate that the Labour leader and 91 00:04:54,590 --> 00:05:00,740 labour shadow chancellor were 92 00:04:56,930 --> 00:05:02,510 anti-semitic encouragers of terrorism 93 00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:04,400 doesn't get much more serious than that 94 00:05:02,510 --> 00:05:06,040 I joked to the time what you have to do 95 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:09,800 to get expelled out of the Labour Party 96 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:11,960 nowadays wasn't like that in my time yes 97 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:16,300 I want to say you expelled because of 98 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:21,169 your position on Iraq yes and if ever I 99 00:05:16,300 --> 00:05:24,500 stand has been vindicated my stand on 100 00:05:21,169 --> 00:05:27,590 Iraq is not now contestant by any 101 00:05:24,500 --> 00:05:31,760 serious person and you always hope 102 00:05:27,590 --> 00:05:34,700 principles before you know it you Korean 103 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:38,470 port always follow her I never I never 104 00:05:34,700 --> 00:05:43,820 regarded politics is being a career and 105 00:05:38,470 --> 00:05:47,300 now by the grace of God than by hard 106 00:05:43,820 --> 00:05:50,030 work and some good luck I don't actually 107 00:05:47,300 --> 00:05:53,210 depend on politics I don't depend on 108 00:05:50,030 --> 00:05:59,270 anyone else and genuinely an independent 109 00:05:53,210 --> 00:06:00,620 plus I could walk away from standing for 110 00:05:59,270 --> 00:06:05,090 political office and so on and live a 111 00:06:00,620 --> 00:06:08,300 very very good life and therefore that 112 00:06:05,090 --> 00:06:11,180 makes me a free man they call me a 113 00:06:08,300 --> 00:06:14,510 maverick but the definition of a 114 00:06:11,180 --> 00:06:18,530 maverick is merely a beast that isn't 115 00:06:14,510 --> 00:06:24,800 owned by anyone well I'll own up to I'm 116 00:06:18,530 --> 00:06:27,169 not owned by anyone I'm free to take the 117 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:30,140 decision that I think are correct to say 118 00:06:27,169 --> 00:06:32,810 what I believe it and believe what I say 119 00:06:30,140 --> 00:06:36,860 got really high and social media 120 00:06:32,810 --> 00:06:38,930 statistics and you've got over I think 121 00:06:36,860 --> 00:06:41,139 it's almost twice as many as all the 122 00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:43,919 other candidates Twitter followers 123 00:06:41,139 --> 00:06:46,930 spotlights for all of the h one of the 124 00:06:43,919 --> 00:06:51,129 difficult parts of your campaign my 125 00:06:46,930 --> 00:06:53,319 virtual funds and also members so how 126 00:06:51,129 --> 00:06:56,129 are you planning to get around that so 127 00:06:53,319 --> 00:07:00,639 you can well I think that's an accurate 128 00:06:56,129 --> 00:07:03,490 summary I have around 1 million 129 00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:06,639 followers on social media that's a very 130 00:07:03,490 --> 00:07:10,960 very big reach and can make up for a 131 00:07:06,639 --> 00:07:14,289 lack of funds and a lack of members lack 132 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:17,199 of a party machine to a certain extent 133 00:07:14,289 --> 00:07:20,469 our campaign is actually growing in 134 00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:24,520 terms of numbers and will very soon have 135 00:07:20,469 --> 00:07:27,159 an open top double-decker bus specially 136 00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:30,599 decorated for the campaign on the 137 00:07:27,159 --> 00:07:32,830 streets of London with me a well-known 138 00:07:30,599 --> 00:07:37,750 recognizable figure standing on top with 139 00:07:32,830 --> 00:07:39,849 a megaphone or proper microphone is that 140 00:07:37,750 --> 00:07:42,069 the same bus that useful it's not 141 00:07:39,849 --> 00:07:44,589 because that bus is not London proofed 142 00:07:42,069 --> 00:07:49,870 because of the ken livingstone's 143 00:07:44,589 --> 00:07:53,469 emissions policy a bus that is as dirty 144 00:07:49,870 --> 00:07:56,110 and its exhaust as that one cannot come 145 00:07:53,469 --> 00:07:58,899 into London so we've swapped it for 146 00:07:56,110 --> 00:08:02,729 another there is London proof and it 147 00:07:58,899 --> 00:08:05,860 will be a joy to behold and thus 148 00:08:02,729 --> 00:08:09,029 hundreds of thousands or millions 149 00:08:05,860 --> 00:08:13,210 actually move over the next 90 or days 150 00:08:09,029 --> 00:08:16,199 we'll see this bus get the message and 151 00:08:13,210 --> 00:08:20,770 know that I am standing front is a 152 00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:24,909 problem I'm basically paying for this 153 00:08:20,770 --> 00:08:29,080 campaign myself but again that's 154 00:08:24,909 --> 00:08:31,330 beginning to gather momentum so we've 155 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:34,919 got the bus we've got headquarters but 156 00:08:31,330 --> 00:08:39,219 very high social media profile and 157 00:08:34,919 --> 00:08:41,860 crucially the public hustings are now 158 00:08:39,219 --> 00:08:44,310 beginning and the most important one is 159 00:08:41,860 --> 00:08:49,510 next wednesday the evening standard 160 00:08:44,310 --> 00:08:52,070 London's main newspaper covered live on 161 00:08:49,510 --> 00:08:55,940 television and on radio 162 00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:57,380 a debate between whom and Sadiq Khan and 163 00:08:55,940 --> 00:09:03,260 zac goldsmith how do you think that's 164 00:08:57,380 --> 00:09:06,410 quite cool so I intend to take command 165 00:09:03,260 --> 00:09:10,250 of all those proceedings just touching 166 00:09:06,410 --> 00:09:12,260 on democracy and also the hosting you 167 00:09:10,250 --> 00:09:14,000 weren't actually allowed to take part in 168 00:09:12,260 --> 00:09:17,330 the London School of Economics postings 169 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,520 juice the other day and so was an 170 00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:22,250 independent candidate and a few others 171 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,980 absolutes how do you think democracy 172 00:09:22,250 --> 00:09:28,340 could be improved and what do you think 173 00:09:24,980 --> 00:09:30,650 today well the others are scared to 174 00:09:28,340 --> 00:09:35,150 debate with me and that's why where they 175 00:09:30,650 --> 00:09:38,570 can the muscle the organizers into 176 00:09:35,150 --> 00:09:40,670 trying to refuse me that's arguably 177 00:09:38,570 --> 00:09:43,040 illegal under the representation of the 178 00:09:40,670 --> 00:09:46,790 people's act certainly will be once we 179 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:48,940 get close up to the polls but evening 180 00:09:46,790 --> 00:09:51,500 standard's too big to muscle and 181 00:09:48,940 --> 00:09:54,590 therefore they've told them to get lost 182 00:09:51,500 --> 00:09:57,980 I'm appeared and the third favorite and 183 00:09:54,590 --> 00:10:03,380 the bookmakers by a very very long way 184 00:09:57,980 --> 00:10:06,650 25 to 1 for me 152 14 you get yet you 185 00:10:03,380 --> 00:10:08,750 get of all people are on a platform in 186 00:10:06,650 --> 00:10:10,850 the London School of Economics I say of 187 00:10:08,750 --> 00:10:13,400 all people though of course Colonel 188 00:10:10,850 --> 00:10:16,370 Gaddafi's son was also given a platform 189 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:18,380 at the London School of Economics though 190 00:10:16,370 --> 00:10:20,630 that may have had something to do with 191 00:10:18,380 --> 00:10:24,020 the donation of millions of pounds by 192 00:10:20,630 --> 00:10:27,200 the dictator to the LSE maybe about 193 00:10:24,020 --> 00:10:30,770 promised the LSE are a bum oh my god 194 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:33,050 place on the hustings many so I just 195 00:10:30,770 --> 00:10:35,270 wanted how are you going to tackle the 196 00:10:33,050 --> 00:10:37,730 housing crisis and how how does your 197 00:10:35,270 --> 00:10:39,530 policies for the housing crisis separate 198 00:10:37,730 --> 00:10:42,620 you from the other candidates actually 199 00:10:39,530 --> 00:10:44,480 is that well Sadiq Khan has received a 200 00:10:42,620 --> 00:10:46,580 hundred thousand pounds of donations 201 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,590 from property and developers so that 202 00:10:46,580 --> 00:10:52,940 probably tells you something about his 203 00:10:48,590 --> 00:10:55,940 policy towards the housing crisis no 204 00:10:52,940 --> 00:10:57,970 property developer would ever dream of 205 00:10:55,940 --> 00:11:01,190 donating any money to my campaign 206 00:10:57,970 --> 00:11:04,899 because life's going to get much tougher 207 00:11:01,190 --> 00:11:06,490 for property developers if I'm the mayor 208 00:11:04,899 --> 00:11:09,069 the mayor has the power to decide 209 00:11:06,490 --> 00:11:12,279 whether a development can go ahead or 210 00:11:09,069 --> 00:11:15,129 not so I'm very clear about it unless a 211 00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:18,339 development has fifty percent affordable 212 00:11:15,129 --> 00:11:21,910 housing and the definition of affordable 213 00:11:18,339 --> 00:11:24,309 for me is that the rent should be fifty 214 00:11:21,910 --> 00:11:28,089 percent of the prevailing rates in the 215 00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:30,089 area as opposed to eighty percent under 216 00:11:28,089 --> 00:11:32,379 Boris Johnson's definition of 217 00:11:30,089 --> 00:11:34,660 affordability and Zac Goldsmith won't 218 00:11:32,379 --> 00:11:36,730 even make a definition of course when 219 00:11:34,660 --> 00:11:39,790 you're the heir to a 700 million pounds 220 00:11:36,730 --> 00:11:42,269 personal trust fund you don't have to 221 00:11:39,790 --> 00:11:45,939 worry about affordability very much I'm 222 00:11:42,269 --> 00:11:48,490 going to compulsorily purchase anyhow 223 00:11:45,939 --> 00:11:51,009 that's left empty in London for a year 224 00:11:48,490 --> 00:11:53,619 or more without a good excuse without a 225 00:11:51,009 --> 00:11:56,889 valid excuse because hundreds of 226 00:11:53,619 --> 00:12:00,040 thousands of houses in London have been 227 00:11:56,889 --> 00:12:02,860 bought not as houses at all but as cash 228 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:05,970 deposit boxes safety deposit boxes 229 00:12:02,860 --> 00:12:08,529 usually a foreigners sometimes crooked 230 00:12:05,970 --> 00:12:11,499 bringing their money here and parking in 231 00:12:08,529 --> 00:12:13,809 property in London with no intention 232 00:12:11,499 --> 00:12:16,689 whatsoever of living in it or even 233 00:12:13,809 --> 00:12:19,300 renting out anyone else just to allow it 234 00:12:16,689 --> 00:12:22,360 to continually appreciate in capital 235 00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:25,120 value that driver drives up Reds drives 236 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:28,660 up prices and means that fewer and fewer 237 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:31,089 launderers can dream of getting hours in 238 00:12:28,660 --> 00:12:33,910 the place that their parents were born 239 00:12:31,089 --> 00:12:36,999 or the place that they live at that they 240 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:41,009 work and have to live although the 241 00:12:36,999 --> 00:12:44,350 otherwise commute long distances on 242 00:12:41,009 --> 00:12:47,050 inadequate public transport it's a 243 00:12:44,350 --> 00:12:50,049 crisis people are being pushed to the 244 00:12:47,050 --> 00:12:52,720 periphery and even outside I mean there 245 00:12:50,049 --> 00:12:54,999 are people who were living in London but 246 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,949 we're not live in South End or other 247 00:12:54,999 --> 00:12:59,559 places on the course and you have to 248 00:12:56,949 --> 00:13:01,629 travel into London to what can we need 249 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:05,410 them to travel into London to work 250 00:13:01,629 --> 00:13:08,439 otherwise London would seize up I'm 251 00:13:05,410 --> 00:13:13,480 going to fight for Berlin style rent 252 00:13:08,439 --> 00:13:15,730 controls I've got all kinds of policies 253 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:17,690 to deal with this the most important 254 00:13:15,730 --> 00:13:20,960 message to Londoners 255 00:13:17,690 --> 00:13:24,050 is trust you know me you know what I 256 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:25,910 stand for you know how I do my work do 257 00:13:24,050 --> 00:13:29,960 you think I'll deal with this crisis 258 00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:32,270 more decisively in your interest or do 259 00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:35,300 you think the others will I think just 260 00:13:32,270 --> 00:13:39,200 ask that question is do answer how do 261 00:13:35,300 --> 00:13:43,580 you had any donations or from property 262 00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:47,020 developers or I had no donations from 263 00:13:43,580 --> 00:13:49,580 anybody nevermind property developers I 264 00:13:47,020 --> 00:13:53,150 my friends are running this campaign 265 00:13:49,580 --> 00:13:55,970 ourselves using our own resources I 266 00:13:53,150 --> 00:13:59,540 wouldn't accept any donations from any 267 00:13:55,970 --> 00:14:03,260 property developed I wasn't an expensive 268 00:13:59,540 --> 00:14:08,180 cheat Sadiq Khan was an expenses sheet 269 00:14:03,260 --> 00:14:11,990 I'm not a tax dodger Zac Goldsmith was a 270 00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:14,090 tax dodger an on Dom pretending that he 271 00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:16,010 actually didn't even live here but after 272 00:14:14,090 --> 00:14:18,950 brought over a decade for over a decade 273 00:14:16,010 --> 00:14:21,320 so if you're looking for a politician 274 00:14:18,950 --> 00:14:23,660 who's not like the rest you've come to 275 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:25,730 the right place it was a certain company 276 00:14:23,660 --> 00:14:29,930 that made a lot of money of the two 277 00:14:25,730 --> 00:14:32,360 strikes beaver and a the largest taxi 278 00:14:29,930 --> 00:14:35,690 firm in the world well that doesn't own 279 00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:37,990 any taxis so what is your plans Tony a 280 00:14:35,690 --> 00:14:40,730 nap don't you know it's only a telefona 281 00:14:37,990 --> 00:14:42,980 I well first of all on the tube 282 00:14:40,730 --> 00:14:45,650 structure by me Boris Johnson cause 283 00:14:42,980 --> 00:14:48,410 these two strikes the workers in the 284 00:14:45,650 --> 00:14:50,450 London Underground are in favor of the 285 00:14:48,410 --> 00:14:52,160 light tube but they have to be 286 00:14:50,450 --> 00:14:54,920 negotiated with you have to take your 287 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:56,780 workers with you

00:15:09,650 --> 00:15:16,580 management would not happen I'd be able 294 00:15:13,250 --> 00:15:20,450 to take the workforce and the union's 295 00:15:16,580 --> 00:15:23,750 with me I'm gonna run uber out of town 296 00:15:20,450 --> 00:15:27,600 if I can there are many places trying to 297 00:15:23,750 --> 00:15:31,860 do that in New Jersey in 298 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:34,290 parts of California in Delhi in many 299 00:15:31,860 --> 00:15:38,209 parts of the world and in Paris right 300 00:15:34,290 --> 00:15:41,759 now the streets are clogged with 301 00:15:38,209 --> 00:15:46,069 protesting taxi drivers protesting about 302 00:15:41,759 --> 00:15:49,500 uber this multinational tax dodging us 303 00:15:46,069 --> 00:15:52,500 50 billion dollar corporation that is 304 00:15:49,500 --> 00:15:56,100 seeking to destroy all competition all 305 00:15:52,500 --> 00:15:59,430 regulation all standards in order to 306 00:15:56,100 --> 00:16:01,949 establish hegemony in the private hire 307 00:15:59,430 --> 00:16:04,860 field and if they ever achieved that 308 00:16:01,949 --> 00:16:08,579 then they could charge what they like 309 00:16:04,860 --> 00:16:11,430 and they could pay their workers what 310 00:16:08,579 --> 00:16:15,029 they like and if you want to deliver 311 00:16:11,430 --> 00:16:17,670 yourself into that good night then you 312 00:16:15,029 --> 00:16:21,389 really you really ought to think twice 313 00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:25,139 oh you can see and help this small 314 00:16:21,389 --> 00:16:27,839 medium large entrance well sandy can 315 00:16:25,139 --> 00:16:31,199 boasts daily that you'll be the most 316 00:16:27,839 --> 00:16:34,560 pro-business mayor that London's ever 317 00:16:31,199 --> 00:16:36,870 had that's a more pro-business than 318 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:38,670 Boris Johnson get your head round up for 319 00:16:36,870 --> 00:16:41,910 a minute it's the Labour candidate 320 00:16:38,670 --> 00:16:44,519 trying to out fine yes that one right if 321 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:47,899 I'm if I'm the mayor I'll be the most 322 00:16:44,519 --> 00:16:50,490 pro-worker now that there's ever been 323 00:16:47,899 --> 00:16:55,589 and that's pretty big difference between 324 00:16:50,490 --> 00:16:57,449 us business doesn't need a mayor rich 325 00:16:55,589 --> 00:16:58,980 and powerful people don't need a mere 326 00:16:57,449 --> 00:17:01,319 they're already rich and powerful 327 00:16:58,980 --> 00:17:03,389 they've already got Tory government with 328 00:17:01,319 --> 00:17:05,520 David Cameron George Osborne running it 329 00:17:03,389 --> 00:17:07,740 how much more does business need it's 330 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:10,230 the workers that neat it's the tenants 331 00:17:07,740 --> 00:17:13,110 that need it's the people struggling to 332 00:17:10,230 --> 00:17:14,819 pay a mortgage and living in a community 333 00:17:13,110 --> 00:17:18,510 whose public services are being 334 00:17:14,819 --> 00:17:22,589 ruthlessly slashed and burned in the 335 00:17:18,510 --> 00:17:25,679 name of austerity so all this hogwash 336 00:17:22,589 --> 00:17:29,130 about business just leaves me cold i'm 337 00:17:25,679 --> 00:17:33,030 interested in small business and i want 338 00:17:29,130 --> 00:17:35,730 to address for example the ludicrous 339 00:17:33,030 --> 00:17:36,929 situation we have that shops and small 340 00:17:35,730 --> 00:17:39,870 businesses are going out of business 341 00:17:36,929 --> 00:17:41,820 because if you stop outside that door 342 00:17:39,870 --> 00:17:45,030 for two minutes you're caught on a 343 00:17:41,820 --> 00:17:47,809 camera and fined for having done so this 344 00:17:45,030 --> 00:17:51,840 is driving businesses out of business 345 00:17:47,809 --> 00:17:55,680 the black cab trade are all small 346 00:17:51,840 --> 00:18:00,600 businesses 25,000 small businesses by 347 00:17:55,680 --> 00:18:02,430 our policy toward juba and the cheering 348 00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:05,700 up of all standards and regulation 349 00:18:02,430 --> 00:18:09,770 there's 25,000 businesses rapidly going 350 00:18:05,700 --> 00:18:11,880 out of business I'm in favor of 351 00:18:09,770 --> 00:18:14,250 developing small and medium-sized 352 00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:16,110 enterprises but big business and the 353 00:18:14,250 --> 00:18:17,640 bank's they're already powerful enough 354 00:18:16,110 --> 00:18:20,490 they don't need it they don't need a 355 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,929 mayor in their corner thank you for a 356 00:18:20,490 --> 00:18:25,770 really interesting policy regarding 357 00:18:21,929 --> 00:18:27,809 these type studies for this city well I 358 00:18:25,770 --> 00:18:32,040 don't want to give everything away 359 00:18:27,809 --> 00:18:35,250 certainly not too early but my finance 360 00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:38,940 and economics czar in the parlance is 361 00:18:35,250 --> 00:18:40,920 Max Keiser the shock economist who knows 362 00:18:38,940 --> 00:18:43,230 more about business and finance them 363 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:46,160 almost anybody else in the world is the 364 00:18:43,230 --> 00:18:48,570 leading broadcaster on this subject 365 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:50,790 across the whole world it's the 366 00:18:48,570 --> 00:18:56,640 most-watched broadcaster in the world in 367 00:18:50,790 --> 00:19:00,809 fact and and he's working on some some 368 00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:03,980 schemes by which we will ensure that 369 00:19:00,809 --> 00:19:08,820 people like Starbucks Amazon and Google 370 00:19:03,980 --> 00:19:10,770 do pay some of their share because you 371 00:19:08,820 --> 00:19:12,990 can't leave that we know though to 372 00:19:10,770 --> 00:19:15,300 Osborne and Cameron or in bed with 373 00:19:12,990 --> 00:19:18,960 Google the closeness of their 374 00:19:15,300 --> 00:19:22,620 relationship with Google is a national 375 00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:27,300 international scandal and the EU itself 376 00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:30,540 is now raising that point I mean for 377 00:19:27,300 --> 00:19:32,790 example who picks up the trash who 378 00:19:30,540 --> 00:19:37,040 supplies the water who supplies the 379 00:19:32,790 --> 00:19:42,330 power who supplies the sewer underneath 380 00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:45,630 who provides the environment in which 381 00:19:42,330 --> 00:19:48,830 these companies are working and if the 382 00:19:45,630 --> 00:19:51,870 answer to that is us the public realm 383 00:19:48,830 --> 00:19:53,220 well maybe we'll have to do something in 384 00:19:51,870 --> 00:19:58,470 terms of child 385 00:19:53,220 --> 00:20:00,600 in those regards if I give the local 386 00:19:58,470 --> 00:20:04,470 starbucks a thousand pound a week bill 387 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:06,510 for collecting their trash that might be 388 00:20:04,470 --> 00:20:10,200 a wake-up call from it wake up and smell 389 00:20:06,510 --> 00:20:13,020 the coffee yeah another major issue I 390 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:16,470 fall under this certainly in terms of 391 00:20:13,020 --> 00:20:19,080 health is Heathrow expansion hmm I just 392 00:20:16,470 --> 00:20:20,970 wanted what your opinion is of that on 393 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:24,450 what your policy is towards ether 394 00:20:20,970 --> 00:20:27,270 expansion I'm against it and I've always 395 00:20:24,450 --> 00:20:30,179 been against it unlike sadhika was no 396 00:20:27,270 --> 00:20:33,059 against it but actually until a few 397 00:20:30,179 --> 00:20:35,640 months ago was very strongly in favor of 398 00:20:33,059 --> 00:20:39,510 it indeed was in the government that was 399 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:42,059 pushing and this again indicates the 400 00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:45,480 complete lack of principle on the part 401 00:20:42,059 --> 00:20:48,570 of the Labour candidate and rather 402 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:52,169 alarmingly he sounds as evangelical 403 00:20:48,570 --> 00:20:55,020 against it as he sounded when he was in 404 00:20:52,169 --> 00:20:58,110 favor of it so either he's had some 405 00:20:55,020 --> 00:21:00,720 dumbass seen conversion or more likely 406 00:20:58,110 --> 00:21:04,350 he's decided that this is what he has to 407 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:08,039 say in order to get elected London's air 408 00:21:04,350 --> 00:21:12,750 quality is already disastrously bad it's 409 00:21:08,039 --> 00:21:15,600 illegal in many parts of London in in 410 00:21:12,750 --> 00:21:18,600 those parts of London children are dying 411 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:21,240 as a result and we can't have it we 412 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:24,270 can't have it anymore and london gatwick 413 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:27,780 sounds london ish to me we can build a 414 00:21:24,270 --> 00:21:30,450 high-speed environmentally-friendly real 415 00:21:27,780 --> 00:21:33,270 link between a throw and Gatwick and 416 00:21:30,450 --> 00:21:35,610 nobody'll notice the difference how are 417 00:21:33,270 --> 00:21:37,799 you are going to track get businesses to 418 00:21:35,610 --> 00:21:40,590 paint from London well if they don't be 419 00:21:37,799 --> 00:21:44,340 they won't be doing any work for us and 420 00:21:40,590 --> 00:21:46,260 by the time I came to office the London 421 00:21:44,340 --> 00:21:49,230 living wage would be properly defined as 422 00:21:46,260 --> 00:21:50,940 ten pounds an hour so if your workers 423 00:21:49,230 --> 00:21:52,860 are not receiving at least ten pounds an 424 00:21:50,940 --> 00:21:54,539 hour don't bother are applying for a 425 00:21:52,860 --> 00:21:57,210 contract with us and if you've got one 426 00:21:54,539 --> 00:22:02,039 with us it will be ended as soon as it's 427 00:21:57,210 --> 00:22:03,750 legally possible to do so and workers 428 00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:06,230 will keep their tips in London as 429 00:22:03,750 --> 00:22:08,030 opposed to having their employer 430 00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:12,230 killing them in restaurants and bars and 431 00:22:08,030 --> 00:22:13,850 so on which happens widespread hundreds 432 00:22:12,230 --> 00:22:18,470 of thousands of workers are affected by 433 00:22:13,850 --> 00:22:20,450 this I'll refuse to end check off for 434 00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:21,980 the payment of trade union dues even 435 00:22:20,450 --> 00:22:24,799 though the government has passed 436 00:22:21,980 --> 00:22:29,780 legislation to bring that but I'm happy 437 00:22:24,799 --> 00:22:33,559 to fight that on their behalf workers 438 00:22:29,780 --> 00:22:35,630 will get a good deal with me and having 439 00:22:33,559 --> 00:22:38,900 spent my whole life at the in the 440 00:22:35,630 --> 00:22:41,299 working class movement I think there are 441 00:22:38,900 --> 00:22:44,030 many people know that on the transport 442 00:22:41,299 --> 00:22:49,160 thing and I don't know if you're aware 443 00:22:44,030 --> 00:22:52,220 i'm going to give free transport for all 444 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:53,960 students in London so school students 445 00:22:52,220 --> 00:22:56,450 college students university students 446 00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:59,570 long travel free on London Transport if 447 00:22:56,450 --> 00:23:01,460 I'm the man just touching on the free 448 00:22:59,570 --> 00:23:03,559 transform obviously a lot of Londoners 449 00:23:01,460 --> 00:23:05,690 wonder how are you going to pay for it 450 00:23:03,559 --> 00:23:07,700 well max keiser who as I say will be 451 00:23:05,690 --> 00:23:10,210 running the finance and economic side of 452 00:23:07,700 --> 00:23:13,340 things and he's a big pioneer of 453 00:23:10,210 --> 00:23:17,240 cryptocurrency and he has an idea every 454 00:23:13,340 --> 00:23:20,360 day of how we could use the Milty to 455 00:23:17,240 --> 00:23:24,110 make people's lives better easier many 456 00:23:20,360 --> 00:23:29,120 cases cheaper for example everyone who 457 00:23:24,110 --> 00:23:31,820 sends money abroad which in the case of 458 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:33,950 London think of all the minority ethnic 459 00:23:31,820 --> 00:23:36,530 communities there are people sending 460 00:23:33,950 --> 00:23:40,190 right now money home to their old father 461 00:23:36,530 --> 00:23:43,760 in Nigeria or their mother in Ireland or 462 00:23:40,190 --> 00:23:45,890 their sister in Poland or mothers and 463 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,900 fathers are sending money to their kid 464 00:23:45,890 --> 00:23:51,230 on a gap year somewhere who can't get 465 00:23:47,900 --> 00:23:53,330 back to England because he or she needs 466 00:23:51,230 --> 00:23:56,510 money if they do that are sending it 467 00:23:53,330 --> 00:23:59,660 through western union or western union 468 00:23:56,510 --> 00:24:01,549 if they can afford it because it will 469 00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:03,590 cost you to send two thousand pounds 470 00:24:01,549 --> 00:24:07,520 through western union will cost you 471 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:09,950 nearly a hundred pounds in feet and if 472 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:12,260 you're doing that regularly that becomes 473 00:24:09,950 --> 00:24:16,280 a serious amount of money that you have 474 00:24:12,260 --> 00:24:18,110 lost or more likely for the poorer 475 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,210 people they're transferring money 476 00:24:18,110 --> 00:24:22,130 through dodgy money 477 00:24:20,210 --> 00:24:24,680 spare our businesses which go bust all 478 00:24:22,130 --> 00:24:26,480 the money never arrives we're going to 479 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,580 do it through moisture technology 480 00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:32,960 through the city hall which will become 481 00:24:28,580 --> 00:24:35,690 effective layer people's bank so we've 482 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:38,420 got lots of ideas like that that's using 483 00:24:35,690 --> 00:24:41,270 the oyster card the oyster will become 484 00:24:38,420 --> 00:24:43,400 your world you have no idea the things 485 00:24:41,270 --> 00:24:47,420 you're going to be able to do with the 486 00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:48,680 oyster card if I become mayor but it's 487 00:24:47,420 --> 00:24:50,360 another of the things I don't want to 488 00:24:48,680 --> 00:24:53,690 give you see every time I come up with a 489 00:24:50,360 --> 00:24:56,150 policy sadiq can't steals it and calls 490 00:24:53,690 --> 00:24:58,610 it his own so I'm waiting till nearer to 491 00:24:56,150 --> 00:25:01,040 the election to put some of these things 492 00:24:58,610 --> 00:25:03,680 on the table but people will be excited 493 00:25:01,040 --> 00:25:06,350 when they see them it's not tenable you 494 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:09,200 know what to have a rush hour in the 495 00:25:06,350 --> 00:25:12,350 21st century there is no reason why 496 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:16,340 people have to be at their desk at 9am 497 00:25:12,350 --> 00:25:19,540 they can in many cases work from home as 498 00:25:16,340 --> 00:25:25,300 I myself do it many many Londoners do 499 00:25:19,540 --> 00:25:29,150 and you can plan your journey into work 500 00:25:25,300 --> 00:25:32,330 especially on a 24-hour city where 501 00:25:29,150 --> 00:25:36,020 there's a bike tube and so on you can 502 00:25:32,330 --> 00:25:38,810 plan your working game your employer and 503 00:25:36,020 --> 00:25:43,520 negotiate changes to your working day to 504 00:25:38,810 --> 00:25:46,180 avoid a crush like I don't have you been 505 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:50,210 at the transport system in the rush hour 506 00:25:46,180 --> 00:25:52,550 but a sardine is very lucky on the 507 00:25:50,210 --> 00:25:54,350 London Underground compared to the 508 00:25:52,550 --> 00:25:57,200 passengers that are paying top dollar 509 00:25:54,350 --> 00:26:02,450 for it we've got the most expensive tube 510 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:06,140 in the entire world and yet the space a 511 00:26:02,450 --> 00:26:12,620 premium times is very very difficult to 512 00:26:06,140 --> 00:26:16,670 get so we stagger the day we give key 513 00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:21,170 workers police officers fire services 514 00:26:16,670 --> 00:26:22,490 ambulance workers teachers who can't 515 00:26:21,170 --> 00:26:25,520 afford that this is the point you see 516 00:26:22,490 --> 00:26:28,130 they can't afford to live in London but 517 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:30,440 they have to work in one and we need 518 00:26:28,130 --> 00:26:32,210 them to work in London so if we can't 519 00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:33,890 provide the housing the short term 520 00:26:32,210 --> 00:26:36,230 inside the mickeys 521 00:26:33,890 --> 00:26:38,120 and cheaper for them to travel I just 522 00:26:36,230 --> 00:26:40,430 wanted what your plans are for cheap 523 00:26:38,120 --> 00:26:42,530 fares well this is another of my 524 00:26:40,430 --> 00:26:45,050 policies that said he can't stall you 525 00:26:42,530 --> 00:26:48,500 see the dangers I was the first to say 526 00:26:45,050 --> 00:26:50,780 that there would be no increases during 527 00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:53,090 my mayoral term which is a four-year 528 00:26:50,780 --> 00:26:55,670 time because there's been forty percent 529 00:26:53,090 --> 00:26:59,720 of increase already in the last eight 530 00:26:55,670 --> 00:27:03,580 years under Boris Johnson whilst 531 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:06,350 inflation has been practically at zero 532 00:27:03,580 --> 00:27:10,670 so there's been enough increases in 533 00:27:06,350 --> 00:27:15,350 firms I don't believe TFLs figures and 534 00:27:10,670 --> 00:27:19,460 I'm going to save double what Sadiq Khan 535 00:27:15,350 --> 00:27:22,730 says he can save we estimate the 1 536 00:27:19,460 --> 00:27:26,330 billion pounds and savings can be made 537 00:27:22,730 --> 00:27:28,640 in the existing budget of course I'll be 538 00:27:26,330 --> 00:27:35,870 fighting for greater powers and greater 539 00:27:28,640 --> 00:27:40,210 budgets for London if we have to koofers 540 00:27:35,870 --> 00:27:43,940 up if we have to I'd rather do that and 541 00:27:40,210 --> 00:27:47,450 make specific concessions to specific 542 00:27:43,940 --> 00:27:51,440 groups then if I have to choose then 543 00:27:47,450 --> 00:27:53,470 freezing the fares for everybody so to 544 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:57,470 that extent I'm prepared to be flexible 545 00:27:53,470 --> 00:28:00,800 if we simply can't make the savings that 546 00:27:57,470 --> 00:28:02,750 will fund the freeze then I think my 547 00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:05,870 policy of allowing students to go free 548 00:28:02,750 --> 00:28:09,380 police fire ambulance workers teachers 549 00:28:05,870 --> 00:28:12,140 key hospital workers to go free is a 550 00:28:09,380 --> 00:28:14,750 better use of their resource just 551 00:28:12,140 --> 00:28:17,390 touching on racism and discrimination in 552 00:28:14,750 --> 00:28:19,760 general seems to be an issue within the 553 00:28:17,390 --> 00:28:21,710 actual police forces soon I just one is 554 00:28:19,760 --> 00:28:23,980 how we how are you going to tackle that 555 00:28:21,710 --> 00:28:26,600 issue well the Commissioner will not 556 00:28:23,980 --> 00:28:31,370 look forward to his Monday morning 557 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:35,720 meetings with me because I'll be asking 558 00:28:31,370 --> 00:28:39,290 him to extend the Metropolitan Police 559 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:41,300 Force is colorblind and I don't just 560 00:28:39,290 --> 00:28:44,060 mean blind to the color of people's skin 561 00:28:41,300 --> 00:28:47,779 I mean blind to the color of their short 562 00:28:44,060 --> 00:28:50,119 color if you pick somebody spot 563 00:28:47,779 --> 00:28:52,820 in Liverpool Street Station you'll be 564 00:28:50,119 --> 00:28:55,849 under arrest very quickly but if you 565 00:28:52,820 --> 00:28:58,399 pick the bank's pocket of millions you 566 00:28:55,849 --> 00:29:02,779 have virtually no chance of coming under 567 00:28:58,399 --> 00:29:06,649 arrest or are being convicted you know 568 00:29:02,779 --> 00:29:10,399 if you steal 25 pounds you're a thief if 569 00:29:06,649 --> 00:29:13,789 you steal 250,000 pounds you're an 570 00:29:10,399 --> 00:29:16,729 embezzler if you steal 25 million pounds 571 00:29:13,789 --> 00:29:20,929 you're a corporation and that has to 572 00:29:16,729 --> 00:29:22,789 stop so I'll back the police I'll fight 573 00:29:20,929 --> 00:29:25,429 for them I'll fight for the resources 574 00:29:22,789 --> 00:29:28,639 I'll fight for the equipment including 575 00:29:25,429 --> 00:29:30,739 firearms that they need but I won't put 576 00:29:28,639 --> 00:29:32,629 up with racism and I will grow up with 577 00:29:30,739 --> 00:29:35,690 prejudice or discrimination of any kind 578 00:29:32,629 --> 00:29:39,109 and the police will know that finally 579 00:29:35,690 --> 00:29:41,899 the last question of montage is why 580 00:29:39,109 --> 00:29:45,379 should we limit or for you they'll make 581 00:29:41,899 --> 00:29:49,339 a difference if either of the others are 582 00:29:45,379 --> 00:29:54,409 elected London will go to sleep for four 583 00:29:49,339 --> 00:29:56,749 years they are the most boring duet that 584 00:29:54,409 --> 00:30:00,859 anyone has ever seen run for important 585 00:29:56,749 --> 00:30:03,440 political office in London the only 586 00:30:00,859 --> 00:30:06,229 difference between them is that Zac 587 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:09,769 Goldsmith is extremely tall and Sadiq 588 00:30:06,229 --> 00:30:11,619 Khan is extremely small but in every 589 00:30:09,769 --> 00:30:14,210 other respect they are Tweedledee and 590 00:30:11,619 --> 00:30:17,599 Tweedledum and they've got nothing to 591 00:30:14,210 --> 00:30:20,710 offer the mass of Londoners the millions 592 00:30:17,599 --> 00:30:23,749 all of their policies are tailored 593 00:30:20,710 --> 00:30:26,210 towards what we call the one percent the 594 00:30:23,749 --> 00:30:29,330 people already dripping in gold I'll be 595 00:30:26,210 --> 00:30:31,999 the opposite if I'm the mayor it will be 596 00:30:29,330 --> 00:30:34,820 exciting be exciting for me it will be 597 00:30:31,999 --> 00:30:37,849 exciting for London they'll never be a 598 00:30:34,820 --> 00:30:42,219 dull moment that I can crunch okay 599 00:30:37,849 --> 00:30:42,219 thanks very much George all the best
