thank
[Applause]
you
uh Jeremy listening to your introduction
and my friends Sheamus and
Andrew I honestly didn't know whether to
laugh or cry though cry uh was the most
likely uh outcome it is
surreal to hear collated in This way
everything that we in the anti-war
movement predicted 13 years ago almost
to a
tea Mr Blair likes now to say that he
has been
surprised by the
subsequent uh course of
events but that's just another
lie because he heard it from
Millions even when they didn't know what
they know now
that there were no weapons of mass
destruction that the entire thing was a
tower of
Lies but he heard it face to face manto
man from me outside the gentleman's
laboratory in the library Corridor of
the House of Commons to be
precise I told him that the fall of
Baghdad would not be the beginning of
the end but just the end of the
beginning I told him there were no
al-Qaeda in
Iraq but if he and Bush invaded there
would be hundreds of thousands of
al-Qaeda in Iraq that
the extremists would
descend like
spores on the wounds that he and Bush
were ready to open I told them that if
you invade and occupy Iraq with hundreds
of thousands of Western soldiers in
George Bush's Crusade
extremism will Cascade all over the
world even I said in our own
country more than two years before it
did on
77
200 five I talked about this Hydra at
this point Alistair Campbell about whom
more later pulled him away because it
was threatening to get
physical so it is so real to me to hear
you and Andrew and
Sheamus adumbrate the theaters of
conflict and I I won't repeat most of
them but Sheamus
said that or you did Jeremy welcome to
this very secure
building well we must hope it is uh a
very secure building if it is is it is
one of the few in this country that can
be so described as a very secure
building I want to
talk about our prediction that if you
make war against Muslims abroad you will
end up at war with Muslims at home
nothing could be more certain if you
pump the air full of hatred of Muslims
Muslim leaders Muslim countries Rogues
terrorists do you expect
expect the Tabloid media and other
sections of the media do you expect the
right the
racists to make a distinction
between that Muslim over there and the
one praying in the mosque on my street
or who owns a shop or a restaurant at
just around the corner from me what kind
of level of Consciousness do you imagine
exists that if you
demonize Islam and its various leaders
to the extent that you are
doing you are sowing Dragon's Teeth and
you will reap the
Whirlwind and we haven't yet not since
2005 but I can tell you it's not a state
secret and if it is I'm going to tell
you anyway
that the head of the British Security
Services says that an attack in Britain
is and I quote him virtually
inevitable now he may not have meant it
quite so strongly he did have a price
tag at the end asking for more money and
more resources but if it is virtually
inevitable that means it's almost
certain to happen if I told you it's
virtually inevitable when when you go
out there that you're going to be
knocked down by a bus you wouldn't cross
the
road so we must assume that he's telling
the truth and that some kind of variant
of these Paris
atrocities is coming our way which of
course will add yet another
twist yet more hatred yet more bigotry
yet more recruits for the
extremists and the
Fanatics so the wars that you are
describing And discussing this evening
have to include the war at
home it turns
out that we have the opposite of what we
need we need smart better
intelligence but we have fools it would
appear in charge of our security I just
read the guardian to
tonight that
gchq has been busy hoovering up the
emails of the journalists on the BBC the
guardian The Daily Mail the sun Reuters
NBC
ABC did they think that there might be
some jihadists working for the daily
maal is this the use to which they're
putting the money and resources that
they they
have they're spending billions we don't
know how many because it's a state
secret it's not
revealed but
they couldn't keep track of the two
fanatic
murderers who
decapitated Lee rig in broad daylight in
a South London
Street they have again I hope it's not a
state secret they have for the first
first time in British history
dispersed the
SAS across the country no longer based
in one place Herod but dispersed around
the country because they believe that
this attack Mumbai style attack when it
comes will take place in what they call
the provinces rather than in
London and they need to have SAS
soldiers nearby uh for a quick
reaction so this is a pretty disastrous
situation that we
face and it is
all of course I'm not exculpating the
actual
murderers who should be in prison for 99
years the people who killed
rig but that doesn't mean we can avoid
telling the truth as I told William hag
in the lift in this very building
I told William Hig these two people who
killed that soldier in South London if
they had gone to Syria instead you would
have paid their
airfare you would have bought them the
knives our policy of supporting from the
1980s until now this day David Cameron's
just announced we are going to be
training
moderate islamists in Syria and hoping
they don't defect to Al-Qaeda or Isis as
soon as we have trained them like all
the weapons we gave which were
immediately stolen by ISIS and
Al-Qaeda our policy of building these
Frankenstein monsters around the world
is proof that they never read the novel
Frankenstein to the end for if they had
they would not know that once you've
built
it it's out of your
control that's why it's called a
monster once you've created it it will
do whatever it
likes and that's exactly what has been
happening it's what happened in France
it's what happened in Belgium and if the
security services here are uh to be
believed it's virtually inevitable that
it's going to
happen here one last point before I go
to the Grim and room
Jeremy somebody asked me today in an
interview what can we do to stop this
radicalization should we ban
WhatsApp should
we stop these
preachers preachers of
hate in tabloid
speak should organizations like hisb and
others be
prescribed I told the interviewer the
only thing necessary to radicalize a
Muslim in Britain today is the ability
to watch the
television last
summer everybody including the 2 million
Muslims watched not just the slaughter
of two
,60 Palestinians trapped in the Gaza
Strip 500 of them
children the majority of them women and
children with nowhere to run and nowhere
to hide not only did they have to watch
that happening they had to watch our
government supporting the
murderers they had to watch our
government supporting those carrying out
the slaughter as did the
French and Muslims
everywhere Cy what is remarkable is that
there are so few
Fanatics so few
extremists not that there are so many so
Sheamus is Right Andrew is
right what is to be done the opposite of
what we're doing it's not rocket
science we should do nothing
else and reverse that which we are doing
on the principle that when you're in a
hole stop
digging we should stop supporting the
murderers in Gaza and start supporting
the victims of the murderers in Gaza we
should stop invading and
occupying one Muslim country after
another and subverting one Muslim
country after another backing the
extremists in Syria supporting the
military Juna and Egypt and so on we
should stop stop it and let the people
of those countries decide their own
future stop propping up these rotten
corrupt dictators who rule the Muslim
World almost without exception from one
end to the other Saudi Arabia which was
at the front of the march in Paris by
the way the Saudi Ambassador was
Marching for press freedom and freedom
of speech in Paris in the very
week that they were lashing with a whip
in public 50 times for the next 20
weeks someone who wrote A
Blog criticizing not Islam not the
prophet criticizing the corrupt
appointees in the religious
establishment who are merely stoes of
the kleptocracy that run Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia is our best friend we are
never done trying to sell them more
weapons we are never done trying to send
them more trainers when they invade
their neighbor bahin we support
it how seriously can any Muslim take our
protestations of being in favor of
freedom and
liberty freedom of speech when our best
friend is the
dungeon of the region and the UNF freest
country on the earth thank you very much
indeed for
coming
