1 00:00:03,980 --> 00:00:11,429 I'm George Galloway and I am Steve Topol 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:14,030 and we are toppled Galloway 14 Russians 3 00:00:11,429 --> 00:00:18,390 lie at the bottom of the Mediterranean 4 00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:21,869 Sea shot down in an exchange of fire 5 00:00:18,390 --> 00:00:24,859 between Israel and the Syrian 6 00:00:21,869 --> 00:00:27,650 anti-aircraft batteries Russia is 7 00:00:24,859 --> 00:00:30,750 unequivocal as to where the blame lies 8 00:00:27,650 --> 00:00:33,559 they say that this was a deliberate 9 00:00:30,750 --> 00:00:38,160 provocation by the Israeli Air Force 10 00:00:33,559 --> 00:00:40,980 f-16s hid behind the transponder of a 11 00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:45,149 Russian reconnaissance plane with 14 12 00:00:40,980 --> 00:00:47,969 spotters on board and they then started 13 00:00:45,149 --> 00:00:50,789 firing missiles at the Syrian coast 14 00:00:47,969 --> 00:00:53,699 around Latakia and in the inevitable 15 00:00:50,789 --> 00:00:57,020 anti-aircraft response the Russian 16 00:00:53,699 --> 00:01:00,449 aircraft was thus deliberately shot down 17 00:00:57,020 --> 00:01:03,539 deliberate by Israel it's quite a 18 00:01:00,449 --> 00:01:08,640 serious escalation Steve it's been 19 00:01:03,539 --> 00:01:12,600 brewing Russia had earlier identified 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:15,210 fire from a French frigate you would 21 00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:18,659 have thought when macron can't provide 22 00:01:15,210 --> 00:01:21,390 jobs or public services for millions of 23 00:01:18,659 --> 00:01:23,610 poor and working people in France he 24 00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:26,700 didn't have money to burn off the 25 00:01:23,610 --> 00:01:29,310 Levantine Coast but he clearly did it's 26 00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:32,810 like Suez 1956 all over again 27 00:01:29,310 --> 00:01:35,520 Israel and France working in concert 28 00:01:32,810 --> 00:01:39,210 against an Arab country in this case 29 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:41,790 Syria in 1956 of course Egypt over the 30 00:01:39,210 --> 00:01:44,369 Suez Canal engage yes I mean the the 31 00:01:41,790 --> 00:01:45,750 thing is George this we both know this 32 00:01:44,369 --> 00:01:47,520 has been brewing for years and years and 33 00:01:45,750 --> 00:01:50,640 years and there's order we're almost 34 00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:52,470 waiting for some sort of major event to 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:55,110 happen early waiting for World War 3 I 36 00:01:52,470 --> 00:01:57,840 know yeah I mean I I vote in 2016 that 37 00:01:55,110 --> 00:01:59,850 this is the first world war of the 21st 38 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:01,439 century because you have every country 39 00:01:59,850 --> 00:02:03,899 has got some sort vested interest in 40 00:02:01,439 --> 00:02:05,430 Syria for whatever reason and I think 41 00:02:03,899 --> 00:02:07,049 we're just waiting for that escalation 42 00:02:05,430 --> 00:02:09,030 is this going to be the tipping point I 43 00:02:07,049 --> 00:02:11,459 think the next few days will tell and as 44 00:02:09,030 --> 00:02:12,540 we're recording we know the US have gone 45 00:02:11,459 --> 00:02:14,849 nothing to do with 46 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:17,459 Scalf it have washed their hands of it 47 00:02:14,849 --> 00:02:21,090 even though the clues in the world f-16 48 00:02:17,459 --> 00:02:28,170 the one who sold them to Israel no give 49 00:02:21,090 --> 00:02:30,209 them okay we sell their big yeah no of 50 00:02:28,170 --> 00:02:32,069 course us have denied any knowledge of 51 00:02:30,209 --> 00:02:33,930 this as I've been no statement so far 52 00:02:32,069 --> 00:02:36,480 from the UK government however I think 53 00:02:33,930 --> 00:02:38,609 that's going to be probably brewing as 54 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:40,709 we speak so it's going to be interesting 55 00:02:38,609 --> 00:02:41,879 to see how it pans out but what hasn't 56 00:02:40,709 --> 00:02:44,189 been reported don't know if you've seen 57 00:02:41,879 --> 00:02:46,980 this it's very interesting regards to 58 00:02:44,189 --> 00:02:49,799 Syria the Dutch government came out last 59 00:02:46,980 --> 00:02:51,870 week a very quiet statement and I've 60 00:02:49,799 --> 00:02:54,000 already reported it Dutch government 61 00:02:51,870 --> 00:02:57,389 came and said they are no longer funding 62 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:59,010 rebel groups in Syria and they 63 00:02:57,389 --> 00:03:01,079 specifically noted that they're 64 00:02:59,010 --> 00:03:03,060 withdrawn funding from December of this 65 00:03:01,079 --> 00:03:04,379 year for the white helmets because they 66 00:03:03,060 --> 00:03:06,930 are concerned about this money's 67 00:03:04,379 --> 00:03:09,150 actually going to terrorists so while 68 00:03:06,930 --> 00:03:12,299 the US and the UK's position on Syria is 69 00:03:09,150 --> 00:03:13,859 clear and France as well and Israel it 70 00:03:12,299 --> 00:03:15,989 looks like maybe some other sort of 71 00:03:13,859 --> 00:03:18,090 Western partners weren't getting a good 72 00:03:15,989 --> 00:03:20,010 point and goodbye Troy of course what 73 00:03:18,090 --> 00:03:22,709 the Dutch statement made that big 74 00:03:20,010 --> 00:03:25,319 particular attack - it gayatri is Dutch 75 00:03:22,709 --> 00:03:28,199 so I sent it to her immediately what's 76 00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:30,329 significant about it is it's a an 77 00:03:28,199 --> 00:03:33,750 admission that they had previously been 78 00:03:30,329 --> 00:03:36,419 fighting terrorism in Syria but it's 79 00:03:33,750 --> 00:03:40,590 also by extension a very clear signal 80 00:03:36,419 --> 00:03:46,349 that the Netherlands allies are still 81 00:03:40,590 --> 00:03:48,930 funding terrorism in Syria the situation 82 00:03:46,349 --> 00:03:52,790 is even worse though because this 83 00:03:48,930 --> 00:03:55,889 happened yesterday let me say that again 84 00:03:52,790 --> 00:03:59,909 because this happened on the very day 85 00:03:55,889 --> 00:04:02,849 this week when Russia and Turkey had 86 00:03:59,909 --> 00:04:04,590 made a military agreement significant in 87 00:04:02,849 --> 00:04:07,560 itself because turkey is a member of 88 00:04:04,590 --> 00:04:11,759 NATO so a NATO country made a military 89 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:15,060 agreement with Syria to halt the Syrian 90 00:04:11,759 --> 00:04:17,849 Russian advance on eaglet and therefore 91 00:04:15,060 --> 00:04:21,959 deprive the United States and France and 92 00:04:17,849 --> 00:04:25,830 Britain of the pretext of their 93 00:04:21,959 --> 00:04:26,580 intervention as a result of some big 94 00:04:25,830 --> 00:04:31,169 conflict 95 00:04:26,580 --> 00:04:34,289 in lib may or may not involve a flagged 96 00:04:31,169 --> 00:04:37,319 false or otherwise of a chemical weapons 97 00:04:34,289 --> 00:04:42,569 attack but that was swept off the table 98 00:04:37,319 --> 00:04:44,520 on the very day that the Israelis staged 99 00:04:42,569 --> 00:04:46,909 this provocation with the Russian 100 00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,860 reconnaissance plane so it's like 101 00:04:46,909 --> 00:04:54,300 someone shot their Fox they were waiting 102 00:04:49,860 --> 00:04:56,460 for the idli battle to start so they 103 00:04:54,300 --> 00:04:59,909 could then intervene there's now not 104 00:04:56,460 --> 00:05:02,069 going to be an ad-lib battle so they've 105 00:04:59,909 --> 00:05:06,080 started anyway yep that's what it looks 106 00:05:02,069 --> 00:05:10,470 like to me now maybe I'm being naive 107 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:13,020 imagine imagine that this close call 108 00:05:10,470 --> 00:05:14,849 that's not a close call for the 14 dead 109 00:05:13,020 --> 00:05:18,449 Russians they're already dead in Davy 110 00:05:14,849 --> 00:05:22,169 Jones locker but this close call in a 111 00:05:18,449 --> 00:05:24,719 sense might just might bring people to 112 00:05:22,169 --> 00:05:26,879 their senses that's how close we are to 113 00:05:24,719 --> 00:05:29,069 World War I think so yeah I mean the 114 00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:31,199 turkey thing is fascinating because what 115 00:05:29,069 --> 00:05:33,240 did we say on this program in the last 116 00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:35,310 series the Cherokee obviously is now 117 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,960 moving more towards BRICS they came out 118 00:05:35,310 --> 00:05:38,870 and said they wanted to become a member 119 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:42,090 of brick so it'd be bricks 120 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:45,479 and and they're my bricks dough should 121 00:05:42,090 --> 00:05:46,680 not be brixton brick leave oh yes and we 122 00:05:45,479 --> 00:05:48,389 set that on this program those very 123 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,409 interesting techy and obviously we saw 124 00:05:48,389 --> 00:05:53,150 that with the deal that was reached 125 00:05:49,409 --> 00:05:55,469 between Turkey and Russia so and I'm 126 00:05:53,150 --> 00:05:58,860 slightly more skeptical than you I think 127 00:05:55,469 --> 00:06:00,930 on this I can't see knowing just what 128 00:05:58,860 --> 00:06:02,580 vested interests are at play in Syria 129 00:06:00,930 --> 00:06:05,669 I'm not sure that this this will be a 130 00:06:02,580 --> 00:06:08,610 opportunity for game changer no I mean 131 00:06:05,669 --> 00:06:11,130 you're right more likely than not it 132 00:06:08,610 --> 00:06:12,810 will not but for example I've been 133 00:06:11,130 --> 00:06:14,460 reviewing the international press 134 00:06:12,810 --> 00:06:17,430 coverage of it and there is a sense of 135 00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:19,830 alarm in even countries that have been 136 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:23,219 gung ho for the war like the Guardian 137 00:06:19,830 --> 00:06:26,069 for example just become the pro-war 138 00:06:23,219 --> 00:06:28,830 Gazette imagine The Guardian The 139 00:06:26,069 --> 00:06:31,349 Observer the pro-war Gazette I see 140 00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:35,399 imagine how does the observer actually 141 00:06:31,349 --> 00:06:38,030 supported the Suez war in 1914 is it I 142 00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:39,890 spent many decades later 143 00:06:38,030 --> 00:06:43,250 from people like me being described as 144 00:06:39,890 --> 00:06:44,660 the pro-war observer and I people didn't 145 00:06:43,250 --> 00:06:46,700 quite know what we meant by that were 146 00:06:44,660 --> 00:06:49,300 men the sewers were but the Guardian 147 00:06:46,700 --> 00:06:53,240 today has as its second headline it's 148 00:06:49,300 --> 00:06:58,070 strapline russia blames israel for 149 00:06:53,240 --> 00:07:01,820 provocation so it it seemed to reflect a 150 00:06:58,070 --> 00:07:04,460 sense of alarm and alarms the least of 151 00:07:01,820 --> 00:07:06,500 it I mean this is the anniversary of the 152 00:07:04,460 --> 00:07:10,610 end of the first world war the first 153 00:07:06,500 --> 00:07:14,480 world war began with an inexorable like 154 00:07:10,610 --> 00:07:17,300 an iceberg drifting towards the disaster 155 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:19,250 and that's what it feels like to me in 156 00:07:17,300 --> 00:07:21,290 Syria as you put it when all these 157 00:07:19,250 --> 00:07:23,720 countries have got something invested in 158 00:07:21,290 --> 00:07:27,860 in a conflict in our war 159 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:30,500 it only takes a spark like this for the 160 00:07:27,860 --> 00:07:32,750 whole balloon to go up no absolutely no 161 00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:34,010 coercing I mean in the background to all 162 00:07:32,750 --> 00:07:35,860 this there's so much other stuff going 163 00:07:34,010 --> 00:07:39,290 on as well isn't there there's the 164 00:07:35,860 --> 00:07:40,700 pipeline saga that's rumbling Tony Blair 165 00:07:39,290 --> 00:07:43,250 went to the meeting with the italian 166 00:07:40,700 --> 00:07:47,560 Foreign Minister I believed in he about 167 00:07:43,250 --> 00:07:49,600 a one time on behalf of democratic 168 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:52,400 indeed yes 169 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:54,410 democratic what we're not sure Democrat 170 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,460 by plane but yes so and you've got that 171 00:07:54,410 --> 00:07:57,140 you've got that and then you've got 172 00:07:55,460 --> 00:08:00,230 Angela Merkel I'm wanting the 173 00:07:57,140 --> 00:08:02,990 russian-backed pipeline and so there's 174 00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:04,550 this sort of play going on in the EU at 175 00:08:02,990 --> 00:08:06,110 the minute as well and as we said to 176 00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:08,300 them and the Netherlands were drawing 177 00:08:06,110 --> 00:08:10,970 the support for and for the rebel groups 178 00:08:08,300 --> 00:08:12,710 and is it it's an extremely complex 179 00:08:10,970 --> 00:08:14,150 situation but the problem is obviously 180 00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:16,520 as we know with the media it's drilled 181 00:08:14,150 --> 00:08:19,250 down to very sort of basic kind of right 182 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:20,960 and wrong it is amazing I resisted these 183 00:08:19,250 --> 00:08:24,440 pipeline storage for quite a long time 184 00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:28,340 because the they smacked of conspiracy 185 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:30,320 theory to me but they're undoubtedly 186 00:08:28,340 --> 00:08:33,320 true yeah I mean the first world war 187 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:35,300 began over a squabble for colonies yeah 188 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:38,950 and the next world war might begin over 189 00:08:35,300 --> 00:08:43,120 a squabble for pipeline yes this 190 00:08:38,950 --> 00:08:44,930 Azerbaijan Baku the Baku Baku Baku have 191 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,180 actually hired 192 00:08:44,930 --> 00:08:49,370 Tony Blair I mean that's what's come to 193 00:08:47,180 --> 00:08:50,680 the British prime minister has been 194 00:08:49,370 --> 00:08:54,310 hired 195 00:08:50,680 --> 00:08:57,250 by a potentate in baku to go around the 196 00:08:54,310 --> 00:09:00,910 world negotiating with other governments 197 00:08:57,250 --> 00:09:04,990 on his behalf so that a pipeline can be 198 00:09:00,910 --> 00:09:07,510 built thus making russia's pipeline on 199 00:09:04,990 --> 00:09:09,670 economic and now the germans are 200 00:09:07,510 --> 00:09:11,680 standing up against it in fact that's 201 00:09:09,670 --> 00:09:14,050 one of the stories of this age we should 202 00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:16,600 discuss a more lengthy sometime 203 00:09:14,050 --> 00:09:19,630 Germany is breaking free from us 204 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,660 hegemony it's making a turn towards 205 00:09:19,630 --> 00:09:25,899 Russia yep the German Minister foreign 206 00:09:22,660 --> 00:09:29,490 minister has openly stated they want to 207 00:09:25,899 --> 00:09:31,930 break from the dollar in terms of bank 208 00:09:29,490 --> 00:09:34,270 transactions yeah because they believe 209 00:09:31,930 --> 00:09:37,890 it gives the US on warranted power and 210 00:09:34,270 --> 00:09:40,660 allows the u.s. to dictate to the EU and 211 00:09:37,890 --> 00:09:43,120 Germany itself on what its foreign 212 00:09:40,660 --> 00:09:45,459 policy should be and Germany's big 213 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:47,410 enough and strong enough to actually 214 00:09:45,459 --> 00:09:49,600 make a stand on that exactly this leads 215 00:09:47,410 --> 00:09:51,790 kind of side issues which don't appear 216 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:53,440 connected in any way to Syria which are 217 00:09:51,790 --> 00:09:55,510 actually connected because because it's 218 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,570 all diplomacy than the - Syria and Iran 219 00:09:55,510 --> 00:10:01,920 because of course the proximate cause of 220 00:09:57,570 --> 00:10:04,750 EU disaffection with the u.s. is the EU 221 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:06,910 unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran 222 00:10:04,750 --> 00:10:09,550 nuclear deal and then there's a Paris 223 00:10:06,910 --> 00:10:14,370 Clym Accord and then there's trade Wars 224 00:10:09,550 --> 00:10:17,920 I mean next Monday the US is about to 225 00:10:14,370 --> 00:10:19,810 launch if that's the world or impose two 226 00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:22,360 hundred billion dollars worth of 227 00:10:19,810 --> 00:10:26,610 economic sanctions against China China 228 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:29,800 will respond so trade trade Wars 229 00:10:26,610 --> 00:10:33,750 pipelines all the ingredients are in 230 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:38,700 place there for the balloon to go up 231 00:10:33,750 --> 00:10:44,070 a new line of coke may soon be available 232

Coca Cola 235 00:10:50,580 --> 00:10:56,040 is looking forward to the day I don't 236 00:10:53,610 --> 00:10:59,220 mean that they want the day to come I 237 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:01,560 mean that they are speculating that the 238 00:10:59,220 --> 00:11:04,740 day will come when cannabis will be 239 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:07,680 legal and therein talk Steve with an 240 00:11:04,740 --> 00:11:09,090 Australian company why are your eyes why 241 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:13,230 are you licking your leather 242 00:11:09,090 --> 00:11:17,460 they they're in talks with an Australian 243 00:11:13,230 --> 00:11:20,040 company about manufacturing a new line 244 00:11:17,460 --> 00:11:22,320 of coke yes he can 245 00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,270 bisque okay don't think about me well 246 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,950 they're coming the thing is it we all 247 00:11:24,270 --> 00:11:29,880 know the story behind Coca Cola that 248 00:11:25,950 --> 00:11:32,250 originally had cocaine in it and it said 249 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:34,590 I have issues with this on numerous 250 00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:36,930 levels not least and obviously because 251 00:11:34,590 --> 00:11:39,900 it's a huge multinational corporation 252 00:11:36,930 --> 00:11:43,140 cashing in on the yet the next sort of a 253 00:11:39,900 --> 00:11:45,330 liberal fad if you like but also for me 254 00:11:43,140 --> 00:11:47,100 on a serious note underscores the issues 255 00:11:45,330 --> 00:11:48,570 surrounding legalization of cannabis 256 00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:51,690 because for people who use it 257 00:11:48,570 --> 00:11:55,560 medicinally there's great concern that 258 00:11:51,690 --> 00:11:57,450 this sort of the the movement of the 259 00:11:55,560 --> 00:12:00,660 minute for legalizing cannabis for 260 00:11:57,450 --> 00:12:03,240 medicinal purposes is basically handing 261 00:12:00,660 --> 00:12:05,490 it to the control of government and big 262 00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,570 pharmaceutical companies and because 263 00:12:05,490 --> 00:12:08,850 they're amongst people who use it 264 00:12:06,570 --> 00:12:10,410 medicinally is that obviously the big 265 00:12:08,850 --> 00:12:12,720 pharmaceutical companies the price will 266 00:12:10,410 --> 00:12:14,520 go through the roof it will be watered 267 00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:17,520 down what's it going to be made with 268 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:19,200 who's profiting from it Salman and this 269 00:12:17,520 --> 00:12:21,900 always happens when things which are 270 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:24,180 inherently sort of social almost 271 00:12:21,900 --> 00:12:26,970 Underground's phenomenon if you like 272 00:12:24,180 --> 00:12:28,290 which which kind of issues is are given 273 00:12:26,970 --> 00:12:29,970 to the hands of corporations and 274 00:12:28,290 --> 00:12:31,650 coca-cola just sort of jumping on the 275 00:12:29,970 --> 00:12:33,060 bandwagon I mean what they're doing I've 276 00:12:31,650 --> 00:12:35,700 read up on it what they're doing they're 277 00:12:33,060 --> 00:12:38,490 using the non non psychotic elements of 278 00:12:35,700 --> 00:12:40,140 cannabis CBD which is a which is the 279 00:12:38,490 --> 00:12:42,660 part of the plant which has medicinal 280 00:12:40,140 --> 00:12:44,160 purposes allegedly and they're going to 281 00:12:42,660 --> 00:12:46,830 be using that and is going to be 282 00:12:44,160 --> 00:12:47,320 marketed and am I right Sakurai douching 283 00:12:46,830 --> 00:12:48,700 call 284 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,210 of the nation yeah it's wonderful 285 00:12:48,700 --> 00:12:53,950 coca-cola we're doing what it does best 286 00:12:51,210 --> 00:12:56,260 making us all healthy I think though 287 00:12:53,950 --> 00:12:58,150 that you you make a really important 288 00:12:56,260 --> 00:13:00,610 point in it for to those in the 289 00:12:58,150 --> 00:13:04,420 counterculture which clearly are not and 290 00:13:00,610 --> 00:13:07,750 judging by your shoes you are and the 291 00:13:04,420 --> 00:13:11,070 counterculture becomes the culture of 292 00:13:07,750 --> 00:13:14,230 course capitalism takes all yes I 293 00:13:11,070 --> 00:13:17,710 predicted long ago when legalizing 294 00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:19,930 cannabis had much less support then it 295 00:13:17,710 --> 00:13:23,880 seems to have now I'm still against it 296 00:13:19,930 --> 00:13:28,990 myself but I predicted if it's legalized 297 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:32,650 W D and H or wills or whoever the 298 00:13:28,990 --> 00:13:36,550 cigarette manufacturers are no no will 299 00:13:32,650 --> 00:13:40,180 open factories and will run off cannabis 300 00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:45,730 cigarette just as they then were running 301 00:13:40,180 --> 00:13:50,040 off ordinary killer cigarettes and of 302 00:13:45,730 --> 00:13:53,700 course that which seems edgy 303 00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:57,340 countercultural slightly subversive 304 00:13:53,700 --> 00:13:59,620 revolutionary even know will just become 305 00:13:57,340 --> 00:14:02,440 another part of the cash Nexus yes 306 00:13:59,620 --> 00:14:04,810 master dies basically yeah I mean coke 307 00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:08,170 will not withstanding the point you make 308 00:14:04,810 --> 00:14:10,410 about the medicinal point part of the 309 00:14:08,170 --> 00:14:13,930 plant yeah as soon as they are able to 310 00:14:10,410 --> 00:14:16,600 though they'll be producing as will all 311 00:14:13,930 --> 00:14:20,520 the multinationals a cannabis on a mass 312 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:25,030 basis now it's my reason for opposing 313 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:29,020 legalization that that can only increase 314 00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:33,400 the number of people effectively using 315 00:14:29,020 --> 00:14:36,040 drugs you may say that Nestle a harmless 316 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,660 or less harmful than other drugs and I 317 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,110 accept that they're less harmful than 318 00:14:37,660 --> 00:14:42,280 alcohol 319 00:14:38,110 --> 00:14:46,030 no da less harmful than smoking twenty 320 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:48,640 number nine forty cigarettes a day but 321 00:14:46,030 --> 00:14:52,870 nonetheless they are part of the stupa 322 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:54,760 fication of the masses and that level of 323 00:14:52,870 --> 00:14:58,900 stupid fication can only go up because 324 00:14:54,760 --> 00:15:00,810 once a full advertising campaign backed 325 00:14:58,900 --> 00:15:04,350 by molten 326 00:15:00,810 --> 00:15:07,830 shanell investment in by the big 327 00:15:04,350 --> 00:15:10,350 corporations well the people smoking 328 00:15:07,830 --> 00:15:12,240 drinking cannabis that would never have 329 00:15:10,350 --> 00:15:13,590 thought to insure before now you say 330 00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:16,320 it's a really interesting point and the 331 00:15:13,590 --> 00:15:19,339 my views on drug legalization are quite 332 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,870 rigid as we've discussed before however 333 00:15:19,339 --> 00:15:23,640 I'm quite receptive to that point 334 00:15:21,870 --> 00:15:24,990 actually about the stupid fication of 335 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:26,760 the masses because we see it with 336 00:15:24,990 --> 00:15:30,330 everything else we see it with social 337 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:32,190 media which is used as a tool by the 338 00:15:30,330 --> 00:15:34,110 capitalist establishment if you like to 339 00:15:32,190 --> 00:15:36,089 quite often dumb down the masses you say 340 00:15:34,110 --> 00:15:37,800 with Facebook removing news from the 341 00:15:36,089 --> 00:15:39,690 fees trying to push people into Facebook 342 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:42,540 what's your submission the guys yeah 343 00:15:39,690 --> 00:15:44,760 well it is but don't you think that it's 344 00:15:42,540 --> 00:15:48,839 actually leaving a big gap that's gonna 345 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:50,610 fill I think so yeah is it it's a lot 346 00:15:48,839 --> 00:15:53,070 but plotting his own funeral almost and 347 00:15:50,610 --> 00:15:54,690 so ya know your point about duplication 348 00:15:53,070 --> 00:15:56,250 base is very interesting and I'm quite 349 00:15:54,690 --> 00:15:58,410 receptive to that even though likes I am 350 00:15:56,250 --> 00:15:59,970 in favor of legalization but Koch 351 00:15:58,410 -->

there's nothing untoward here but what 411 00:18:43,020 --> 00:18:47,159 was interesting was the was another 412 00:18:44,700 --> 00:18:48,870 another job well that you see that the 413 00:18:47,159 --> 00:18:52,070 people suffered exactly the same 414 00:18:48,870 --> 00:18:58,950 symptoms it was again in a restaurant 415 00:18:52,070 --> 00:19:01,679 food-related food-related you know maybe 416 00:18:58,950 --> 00:19:04,890 it isn't of a job but maybe none of them 417 00:19:01,679 --> 00:19:06,630 are vizak no absolutely I mean the thing 418 00:19:04,890 --> 00:19:09,000 is as well when you sort of watch this 419 00:19:06,630 --> 00:19:12,270 story breaking if you like it was a 420 00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:14,340 master class in some sort of media 421 00:19:12,270 --> 00:19:16,919 manipulation and bias because the thing 422 00:19:14,340 --> 00:19:19,649 is we all know and done mr. Chomsky 423 00:19:16,919 --> 00:19:22,200 documented this very well in the 80s how 424 00:19:19,649 --> 00:19:24,299 what manufacturing consent once there's 425 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,880 a story which which the the 426 00:19:24,299 --> 00:19:28,350 establishment press want pushing as was 427 00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:30,929 the case with the scribble story from 428 00:19:28,350 --> 00:19:33,360 the outset and this kind of continues in 429 00:19:30,929 --> 00:19:34,950 soft propaganda almost where any sort of 430 00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:37,320 other incident which could be partially 431 00:19:34,950 --> 00:19:38,610 related to it it's blowing out of all 432 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,919 performance and just to keep that sort 433 00:19:38,610 --> 00:19:42,270 of fear and that edginess amongst the 434 00:19:40,919 --> 00:19:44,880 public's are getting to keep that 435 00:19:42,270 --> 00:19:46,350 momentum of the story and the propaganda 436 00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,580 surrounding her going and this was a 437 00:19:46,350 --> 00:19:50,220 classic example though I mean it was 438 00:19:47,580 --> 00:19:52,860 immediately jumped on hazmat suits an 439 00:19:50,220 --> 00:19:56,610 emergency response yet street sealed 440 00:19:52,860 --> 00:20:00,059 often customers in the restaurant some 441 00:19:56,610 --> 00:20:03,000 for Italian joint yet taken out of the 442 00:20:00,059 --> 00:20:07,559 restaurant locked up in an empty pub no 443 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:10,230 one does an empty empty at oh this is 444 00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:13,679 probably a good time to invest yeah in 445 00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:15,480 Salisbury in property Nasri rock-bottom 446 00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:17,610 you could probably buy a restaurant in 447 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:20,309

that the Labour Party 464 00:20:57,140 --> 00:21:00,470 conference will be a case of Jeremy 465 00:20:58,820 --> 00:21:03,230 Corbyn trying to save the world in a 466 00:21:00,470 --> 00:21:06,170 battle royale against the undie the 467 00:21:03,230 --> 00:21:08,210 right swing whatchamacallit 468 00:21:06,170 --> 00:21:09,890 yeah I'm considering you didn't script 469 00:21:08,210 -->

topple 472 00:21:15,470 --> 00:21:21,559 of hiring the nice hat by the way 473 00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:24,080 the July my shoes lovely tutorial from 474 00:21:21,559 --> 00:21:28,040 the Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn 475 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:32,320 mmm the most anti-racist man in Britain 476 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:37,360 in fact a man quite I would say obsessed 477 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:41,150 by anti racism and the most achingly 478 00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:46,460 politically correct in sexual gender 479 00:21:41,150 --> 00:21:49,760 matters I mean Jeremy Corbyn doesn't 480 00:21:46,460 --> 00:21:54,290 make passes at girls with glasses or 481 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:56,300 girls at all Jeremy Corbyn although he's 482 00:21:54,290 --> 00:22:00,710 been married three times and perfectly 483 00:21:56,300 --> 00:22:03,200 sure all three of his wives had to grab 484 00:22:00,710 --> 00:22:04,490 him and tie him down to the bed his 485 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:07,160 molarities make a pass of one of his 486 00:22:04,490 --> 00:22:11,559 marrows from his allotment exactly yet 487 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:16,610 this man is still being assailed as a 488 00:22:11,559 --> 00:22:17,270 effing anti-semite and racist by one 489 00:22:16,610 --> 00:22:20,480 woman 490 00:22:17,270 --> 00:22:24,410 Labour MP Dame mod Raj Nair who's 491 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:27,530 doubled down and Jess Phillips who just 492 00:22:24,410 --> 00:22:29,990 accused them of being to blame for the 493 00:22:27,530 --> 00:22:34,490 fact that the Labour Party is no longer 494 00:22:29,990 --> 00:22:36,760 safe for women so according to her it's 495 00:22:34,490 --> 00:22:37,920 not safe for Jews and it's not safe for 496 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:42,290 women 497 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:47,010 who is it safe for the well exactly now 498 00:22:42,290 --> 00:22:49,350 even if that were true as opposed to any 499 00:22:47,010 --> 00:22:55,400 other party or any other part of our 500 00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:57,480 society main chase women haven't forfend 501 00:22:55,400 --> 00:23:00,510 even if it were to how could that be 502 00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,740 Corbin Sport know exactly how can I mean 503 00:23:00,510 --> 00:23:03,840 how could it be could they never the 504 00:23:01,740 --> 00:23:05,610 problem with these allegations and well 505 00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,560 as you say it could be any other 506 00:23:05,610 --> 00:23:09,840 political party in these issues exists 507 00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,250 and it's just a walk wider example of 508 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,050 the issues that exist in society it's 509 00:23:11,250 --> 00:23:15,720 gonna be in any political party but no 510 00:23:13,050 --> 00:23:17,730 one can quantify these allegations no 511 00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:19,530 one can say well waste okay so X many 512 00:23:17,730 --> 00:23:22,200 people have had this done to them the 513 00:23:19,530 --> 00:23:23,730 Labour Party and but you thought brings 514 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,440 us on to a broader issue around a 515 00:23:23,730 --> 00:23:27,240 conference doesn't it because I think I 516 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:28,800 mean we're three years into Corbin now 517 00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:31,410 this will be his third conference went 518 00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:34,230 to them if my math says maybe yeah yeah 519 00:23:31,410 --> 00:23:36,900 faragonda chair um do we think this is 520 00:23:34,230 --> 00:23:39,150 going to be the tipping point in a duly 521 00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:41,250 fight between the right and the left i 522 00:23:39,150 --> 00:23:43,920 do the only question left open is 523 00:23:41,250 --> 00:23:46,230 whether the right wing then leave know 524 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:48,030 they're in a bit of disarray at the 525 00:23:46,230 --> 00:23:50,640 moment first of all they can't agree 526 00:23:48,030 --> 00:23:53,460 that took up with should be their leader 527 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:56,970 yes and chuka will not leave unless he 528 00:23:53,460 --> 00:24:00,620 is the leader who is a poodle he's a 529 00:23:56,970 --> 00:24:03,210 showgirl talk and he will not agree to 530 00:24:00,620 --> 00:24:06,750 jess phillips being the leading it for 531 00:24:03,210 --> 00:24:09,990 example so there's a battle royale going 532 00:24:06,750 --> 00:24:11,640 on in the right wing as to whether they 533 00:24:09,990 --> 00:24:14,400 should leave and if they leave on what 534 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:17,160 basis the new name to they link up with 535 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:21,090 the Liberal Democrats and who will be 536 00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:25,380 the leader the left are definitely going 537 00:24:21,090 --> 00:24:30,030 to win really significant victories in 538 00:24:25,380 --> 00:24:32,520 Liverpool I'm sure that the shaking nail 539 00:24:30,030 --> 00:24:35,700 that a lot of MPs have got their coats 540 00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:39,300 currently hanging on will fall from the 541 00:24:35,700 --> 00:24:44,190 wall there will be a new form of Reis 542 00:24:39,300 --> 00:24:46,680 election and if I'm right it will 543 00:24:44,190 --> 00:24:49,230 probably be automatic yeah everyone will 544 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:51,060 automatically have to be Reis elected 545 00:24:49,230 --> 00:24:51,600 before every election you know it's such 546 00:24:51,060 --> 00:24:54,960 a [ __ ] 547 00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:57,919 the US Republicans and Democrats have 548 00:24:54,960 --> 00:25:02,690 had in place for a hundred years 549 00:24:57,919 --> 00:25:05,700 secondly policy will henceforth be made 550 00:25:02,690 --> 00:25:07,110 digitally by the mass membership of the 551 00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:08,940 labor play he's been pushing for that 552 00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:10,020 since day one has definitely and I'm 553 00:25:08,940 --> 00:25:12,210 sure that that's going to go through 554 00:25:10,020 --> 00:25:14,730 again that's not wildest or the Green 555 00:25:12,210 --> 00:25:17,190 Party it's one member one that ya know 556 00:25:14,730 --> 00:25:19,190 that's very significant because we'll 557 00:25:17,190 --> 00:25:22,080 the labor membership vote to spend 558 00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:25,919 perhaps a hundred billion pounds on 559 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:29,210 tried near renewal will the membership 560 00:25:25,919 --> 00:25:33,390 want to remain in NATO when it's 561 00:25:29,210 --> 00:25:36,539 involved in wars all over the world 562 00:25:33,390 --> 00:25:39,510 never mind the North Atlantic and many 563 00:25:36,539 --> 00:25:41,610 other things I think opens a door that 564 00:25:39,510 --> 00:25:44,700 when I was fighting for Labour Party 565 00:25:41,610 --> 00:25:47,309 democracy well over thirty years ago 566 00:25:44,700 --> 00:25:48,840 nearly forty years ago we hadn't even 567 00:25:47,309 --> 00:25:51,539 thought of because of course the 568 00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:52,220 internet and yet been invented by Al 569 00:25:51,539 --> 00:25:56,039 Gore 570 00:25:52,220 --> 00:25:57,510 so it's going to be a momentous labor 571 00:25:56,039 --> 00:26:01,400 conference I look forward next week 572 00:25:57,510 --> 00:26:04,020 which is our last three week to having 573 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:06,809 having a proper discussion about what 574 00:26:04,020 --> 00:26:09,659 has happened but what I predict will 575 00:26:06,809 --> 00:26:13,320 happen is that Jeremy Corbyn will 576 00:26:09,659 --> 00:26:15,390 finally properly be in charge of the 577 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:17,850 Labor Party at the end of the Labor 578 00:26:15,390 --> 00:26:20,549 Party conference in Liverpool he's been 579 00:26:17,850 --> 00:26:23,039 an office but not in power he's now 580 00:26:20,549 --> 00:26:24,750 about to be in office and in power I 581 00:26:23,039 --> 00:26:26,190 agree I think that's quite good so 582 00:26:24,750 --> 00:26:28,580 summing up at the situation I think 583 00:26:26,190 --> 00:26:30,900 we're good you can see coming out of the 584 00:26:28,580 --> 00:26:32,909 Corbin labor and pace at the minute you 585 00:26:30,900 --> 00:26:34,950 can sort of see the hints at what's what 586 00:26:32,909 --> 00:26:36,630 confidence is in the end what's going to 587 00:26:34,950 --> 00:26:39,059 be on the policy table Angela rain is 588 00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:42,270 coming out very vocally about inequality 589 00:26:39,059 --> 00:26:45,539 in education I'm using a big push as 590 00:26:42,270 --> 00:26:47,130 well around welfare and there's a hot 591 00:26:45,539 --> 00:26:48,720 debate going on about that the minute 592 00:26:47,130 --> 00:26:50,490 where the labor because the team you see 593 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,950 a new Knights have come out calling for 594 00:26:50,490 --> 00:26:54,179 universal credit the DWP and the 595 00:26:52,950 --> 00:26:55,440 government's flagship new benefit 596 00:26:54,179 --> 00:26:57,270 they've come out Gordon for that to be 597 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:59,250 completely scrapped so there's pressure 598 00:26:57,270 --> 00:27:02,309 on labor to do that I think they may 599 00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:03,510 give some movement in that but I think 600 00:27:02,309 --> 00:27:04,350 welfare education it's all gonna be 601 00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:05,399 surrounding 602 00:27:04,350 --> 00:27:07,529 I think they're tying it in as well 603 00:27:05,399 --> 00:27:09,389 cited to the ten-year anniversary of the 604 00:27:07,529 --> 00:27:11,480 financial crash I mean lot stuff around 605 00:27:09,389 --> 00:27:14,159 inequality and social mobility and 606 00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:15,659 improving people's life chances and 607 00:27:14,159 --> 00:27:17,639 that's the that's the feeling I'm 608 00:27:15,659 --> 00:27:19,259 getting looking looking behind what 609 00:27:17,639 --> 00:27:20,460 people are saying at the minute but yeah 610 00:27:19,259 --> 00:27:23,190 I think you're right I think he's throw 611 00:27:20,460 --> 00:27:24,630 years in I think he will don't think is 612 00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:27,659 going to hold back this time or rather 613 00:27:24,630 --> 00:27:30,929 his machinery isn't gonna hold back in 614 00:27:27,659 --> 00:27:33,330 pushing through their policies and 615 00:27:30,929 --> 00:27:35,669 finally delivering what many of his 616 00:27:33,330 --> 00:27:37,919 supporters one which is some radical 617 00:27:35,669 --> 00:27:39,720 democratic socialism which which he's 618 00:27:37,919 --> 00:27:41,789 been promising for but it can't happen 619 00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:44,190 Steve with the current crop of MPs 620 00:27:41,789 --> 00:27:46,289 either the current crop of MPs have got 621 00:27:44,190 --> 00:27:48,899 to change or they have to be changed 622 00:27:46,289 --> 00:27:52,379 yeah there has to be a mass Damascene 623 00:27:48,899 --> 00:27:54,740 conversion to the ideas that the labor 624 00:27:52,379 --> 00:27:57,210 membership want to see implemented 625 00:27:54,740 --> 00:27:59,340 that's possible I mean it's already 626 00:27:57,210 --> 00:28:02,549 happened with I think a significant 627 00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:05,250 number of Labour MPs that were trying to 628 00:28:02,549 --> 00:28:07,799 get rid of Corden before but now no 629 00:28:05,250 --> 00:28:11,879 better yeah but there's the 630 00:28:07,799 --> 00:28:14,639 irreconcilable and they are larger 631 00:28:11,879 --> 00:28:18,360 number they are scores in number who 632 00:28:14,639 --> 00:28:20,639 cannot be trusted to even allow Corbin 633 00:28:18,360 --> 00:28:24,210 to get in the taxi to go to Buckingham 634 00:28:20,639 --> 00:28:26,669 Palace to accept the seals of office and 635 00:28:24,210 --> 00:28:29,129 become Prime Minister they could mount a 636 00:28:26,669 --> 00:28:31,470 coup against Corbin after it won a 637 00:28:29,129 --> 00:28:34,019 general election and they simply can't 638 00:28:31,470 --> 00:28:36,210 be trusted you know I could name names 639 00:28:34,019 --> 00:28:38,909 but everyone watching us already know 640 00:28:36,210 --> 00:28:42,539 segment names to come on our Jess 641 00:28:38,909 --> 00:28:46,429 Phillips Tom Watson I don't I wouldn't 642 00:28:42,539 --> 00:28:49,470 trust any of these people to you know 643 00:28:46,429 --> 00:28:50,639 mind my glass of water while I went to 644 00:28:49,470 --> 00:28:52,200 the bathroom now is that I mean Tom 645 00:28:50,639 --> 00:28:56,309 Watson especially I mean its 646 00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:59,220 participation in restaurant indeed yes 647 00:28:56,309 --> 00:29:01,139 some drinking a can of cannabis coke I'm 648 00:28:59,220 --> 00:29:02,669 there Tom Watson specials preposterous 649 00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:04,259 situation in fact he's pulled out of 650 00:29:02,669 --> 00:29:07,019 giving the speech I mean it's the deputy 651 00:29:04,259 --> 00:29:09,690 leader of the Labour Party has what is 652 00:29:07,019 --> 00:29:13,100 he any longer it's I dunno why you know 653 00:29:09,690 --> 00:29:16,490 why they can't remove it because a 654 00:29:13,100 --> 00:29:17,760 contender would have to get 45-year 655 00:29:16,490 --> 00:29:20,550 nominations 656 00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:24,060 amongst Labour MPs and there's not even 657 00:29:20,550 --> 00:29:26,610 45 Labour MPs would be prepared to 658 00:29:24,060 --> 00:29:28,590 nominate somebody against Tom Watson hmm 659 00:29:26,610 --> 00:29:32,370 that's important to grasp because it 660 00:29:28,590 --> 00:29:34,410 shows just how few MPs that Jeremy 661 00:29:32,370 --> 00:29:35,880 Corbyn has been able to counsel very 662 00:29:34,410 --> 00:29:38,610 good I was bigger now than it was before 663 00:29:35,880 --> 00:29:40,740 and yeah now absolutely but I think I 664 00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:42,780 think it's going to be fascinating and I 665 00:29:40,740 --> 00:29:43,950 think it will be interesting as well it 666 00:29:42,780 --> 00:29:47,370 will cement 667 00:29:43,950 --> 00:29:50,130 I mean it's unarguable already but it 668 00:29:47,370 --> 00:29:52,220 will cement further the notion that the 669 00:29:50,130 --> 00:29:56,070 grassroots members of the Labour Party 670 00:29:52,220 --> 00:29:58,140 really should be and will be driving the 671 00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:59,910 party almost if you like I think this is 672 00:29:58,140 --> 00:30:02,580 a conference that's going to cement 673 00:29:59,910 --> 00:30:05,280 calkins positions cements the grassroots 674 00:30:02,580 --> 00:30:07,230 membership in their position of control 675 00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,970 which in my opinion not a Labour 676 00:30:07,230 --> 00:30:11,580 supports that I am but in my opinion the 677 00:30:08,970 --> 00:30:13,500 membership in control Louis is odd kind 678 00:30:11,580 --> 00:30:15,180 of organisation where the members are 679 00:30:13,500 --> 00:30:16,830 not in neutral and that's how it is the 680 00:30:15,180 --> 00:30:19,230 minute and said so I think I think it's 681 00:30:16,830 --> 00:30:22,050 the idea that the members pick a woman 682 00:30:19,230 --> 00:30:25,680 or a man to get a very highly paid and 683 00:30:22,050 --> 00:30:28,380 very comfortable job clean no heavy 684 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:30,390 lifting and plenty of money and that the 685 00:30:28,380 --> 00:30:34,710 people you've given that privilege to 686 00:30:30,390 --> 00:30:36,420 should actually be in charge of you to 687 00:30:34,710 --> 00:30:38,370 realize the a of course it is I mean 688 00:30:36,420 --> 00:30:41,820 lately you've had a lucky break getting 689 00:30:38,370 --> 00:30:45,360 made a Labour MP I was one for almost 20 690 00:30:41,820 --> 00:30:46,770 years and the idea that you should then 691 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:48,870 be in charge of the people who gave you 692 00:30:46,770 --> 00:30:49,800 the lucky break think about it that's 693 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:52,710 completely zany 694 00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:54,420 it is only yes exactly so I think it's 695 00:30:52,710 --> 00:30:55,950 gonna be fascinating and I think we'll 696 00:30:54,420 --> 00:30:58,470 have a lot to talk about 697 00:30:55,950 --> 00:31:00,390 next week wait yeah weeks are the last 698 00:30:58,470 --> 00:31:02,280 three week I think it is yes and then 699 00:31:00,390 --> 00:31:04,470 we'll be going

the Department for Work and 725 00:32:02,820 --> 00:32:06,390 Pensions and the policies that rolls out 726 00:32:04,710 --> 00:32:07,920 and how it affects disabled people and 727 00:32:06,390 --> 00:32:10,500 some of the poorest people in our 728 00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:13,440 society there's a big push at the minute 729 00:32:10,500 --> 00:32:16,050 for the Labour Party to adopt a position 730 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:17,850 of stop and scrapped universal credit 731 00:32:16,050 --> 00:32:19,590 universal credit is the new Department 732 00:32:17,850 --> 00:32:21,960 for Work and Pensions benefit which 733 00:32:19,590 --> 00:32:25,080 rolls six previous ones into one this 734 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:27,210 policy is extremely dangerous it was 735 00:32:25,080 --> 00:32:29,190 devised from a group of people as are 736 00:32:27,210 --> 00:32:31,410 documented who think that the poor are 737 00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:33,210 blame are to blame for their own poverty 738 00:32:31,410 --> 00:32:34,680 and misery and that they need to help 739 00:32:33,210 --> 00:32:37,260 themselves out of it's essentially 740 00:32:34,680 --> 00:32:39,510 universal credit was designed to roll 741 00:32:37,260 --> 00:32:41,790 all the undeserving poor as they see 742 00:32:39,510 --> 00:32:43,440 them into one place it can't be fixed 743 00:32:41,790 --> 00:32:44,880 this policy needs to be stopped for 744 00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:45,960 numerous reasons as I've documented 745 00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,030 labour 746 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,680 you must adopt this at the party 747 00:32:48,030 --> 00:32:51,060 conference this year Jeremy Corbyn if 748 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,710 you're watching you must adopt to 749 00:32:51,060 --> 00:32:54,240 scrapped universal credit I'll be 750 00:32:52,710 --> 00:32:55,890 watching with interest and I'll be 751 00:32:54,240 --> 00:32:58,830 following up on next week's show about 752 00:32:55,890 --> 00:33:01,020 this as well Russia's relationship with 753 00:32:58,830 --> 00:33:04,680 Israel's a bit like one's relationship 754 00:33:01,020 --> 00:33:08,070 with one's ex-wife complicated there's a 755 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:10,020 love-hate issue in there Russia was the 756 00:33:08,070 --> 00:33:15,480 first country in the world to recognize 757 00:33:10,020 --> 00:33:18,570 the State of Israel in 1948 other Soviet 758 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:21,630 countries like Czechoslovakia supplied 759 00:33:18,570 --> 00:33:25,290 the weapons that fueled the Hagana as 760 00:33:21,630 --> 00:33:28,590 conquest of almost all of Palestine at 761 00:33:25,290 --> 00:33:32,580 that time but things have certainly gone 762 00:33:28,590 --> 00:33:35,250 sour the decision by the Israeli Air 763 00:33:32,580 --> 00:33:37,380 Force to hide behind a Russian 764 00:33:35,250 --> 00:33:40,220 reconnaissance plane and caused the 765 00:33:37,380 --> 00:33:42,650 death of now 20 Russia 766 00:33:40,220 --> 00:33:46,070 service personnel in what Russia is 767 00:33:42,650 --> 00:33:50,000 describing as a deadly provocation which 768 00:33:46,070 --> 00:33:53,390 gave only 60 seconds notice to the 769 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:58,330 pilots and the crew who now lie at the 770 00:33:53,390 --> 00:33:58,330 bottom of the sea mean big trouble 771 00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,770 [Music]
