1
00:00:00,719 --> 00:00:11,000
and for coming I see on the wall uh that

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:13,040
almost exactly one year ago the late

3
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:15,719
right honorable sir Gerald Koffman

4
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:18,920
officially opened this building so let

5
00:00:15,719 --> 00:00:22,039
me take a moment to remember my very

6
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:25,279
long and close friendship with him which

7
00:00:22,039 --> 00:00:27,080
lasted from the day that we met in the

8
00:00:25,279 --> 00:00:30,840
rather gloomy apartment behind

9
00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:34,320
Westminster Cathedral of the late Harold

10
00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:36,160
Wilson the four times prime

11
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:40,200
minister this

12
00:00:36,160 --> 00:00:40,200
was uh in

13
00:00:41,160 --> 00:00:47,440
1985 and two years later I joined sir

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:51,320
Gerald in the House of Commons and I sat

15
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:53,440
with him there for almost 30 years we

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:56,399
traveled the length and breadth of this

17
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:00,519
country together speaking on issues that

18
00:00:56,399 --> 00:01:03,079
were dear to both of our hearts

19
00:01:00,519 --> 00:01:06,080
I could scarcely have had a closer

20
00:01:03,079 --> 00:01:09,320
friend in Parliament than sir Gerald and

21
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:14,080
to see his name now on that PL uh makes

22
00:01:09,320 --> 00:01:17,920
me feel a little bit sad because he's no

23
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:20,799
longer with us and we all of us I think

24
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:21,680
will miss him not least the people in

25
00:01:20,799 --> 00:01:24,439
this

26
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:27,759
constituency uh that he served for

27
00:01:24,439 --> 00:01:32,520
staggering 47

28
00:01:27,759 --> 00:01:34,799
years and I was already feeling sad

29
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:38,240
anyway and although I'm going to I

30
00:01:34,799 --> 00:01:41,040
promise you turn to local issues I hope

31
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:45,119
you will forgive me if I spend a few

32
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:49,000
moments talking about the overarching

33
00:01:45,119 --> 00:01:51,920
atmosphere that we now uh convene

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:55,960
together under which has led to the

35
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:58,799
cancellation of open Street campaigning

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,479
and we ourselves will not be campaigning

37
00:01:58,799 --> 00:02:01,240
on the streets

38
00:02:00,479 --> 00:02:05,280
uh

39
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:08,440
today because of the mass m that took

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:13,680
place in London yesterday following as

41
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:16,879
it does on an even bigger Act of mass

42
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:21,400
murder in Manchester two weeks

43
00:02:16,879 --> 00:02:24,480
ago which followed in turn the previous

44
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:26,080
month during this campaign there have

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:29,519
been

46
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:33,040
three terrorist atrocities in this

47
00:02:29,519 --> 00:02:36,560
country that have killed almost 5050

48
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:40,440
people have hospitalized hundreds of

49
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:43,239
people terrorized thousands of people

50
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:45,560
traumatized people in a way from which

51
00:02:43,239 --> 00:02:50,200
they may take a very long time to

52
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:53,760
recover if recover entirely they ever

53
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:55,760
do and so we can't have a meeting this

54
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:58,640
day without

55
00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,560
reflecting on the

56
00:02:58,640 --> 00:03:06,680
fact that it is now a

57
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:08,120
fact that we have mass murderers living

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:11,200
amongst

59
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,879
us you see these people did not

60
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,360
arrive from anywhere

61
00:03:13,879 --> 00:03:18,840
else the mass murer in Manchester

62
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:22,159
murdered his own

63
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:25,319
neighbors he murdered the people with

64
00:03:22,159 --> 00:03:28,200
whom he went to school

65
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:30,680
University people with whom he played

66
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:34,319
football people who had welcomed him and

67
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:35,959
his family in to this country when they

68
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:39,120
fled

69
00:03:35,959 --> 00:03:43,840
persecution but none of that

70
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:48,120
counted when he decided to incinerate

71
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:48,959
himself and in a far ball of nails and

72
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:52,159
ball

73
00:03:48,959 --> 00:03:56,159
bearings tear the life out of small

74
00:03:52,159 --> 00:03:58,879
children in the manchest

75
00:03:56,159 --> 00:04:00,239
arena this is a very serious problem for

76
00:03:58,879 --> 00:04:03,599
us

77
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:06,239
that we have such murderers in our

78
00:04:03,599 --> 00:04:07,319
midst if the killers had arrived from

79
00:04:06,239 --> 00:04:10,959
somewhere

80
00:04:07,319 --> 00:04:14,319
else they shipped in to attack

81
00:04:10,959 --> 00:04:18,000
us the damage would have been equally

82
00:04:14,319 --> 00:04:19,239
Grievous of course but the conclusions

83
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:22,280
would be

84
00:04:19,239 --> 00:04:24,759
different and

85
00:04:22,280 --> 00:04:28,720
the slogan

86
00:04:24,759 --> 00:04:31,680
of pray for Manchester pray for

87
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:36,280
London of unity and solidarity and all

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:38,800
of these very fine ideas and words are

89
00:04:36,280 --> 00:04:40,840
necessary but they're not

90
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:45,680
sufficient we have

91
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:46,680
to get a grip on the security situation

92
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,280
in this

93
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:52,440
country and we have not yet got a grip

94
00:04:50,280 --> 00:04:54,840
of that

95
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:56,639
situation the

96
00:04:54,840 --> 00:05:00,120
streets the

97
00:04:56,639 --> 00:05:02,160
venues are not safe from from these

98
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,800
terrorist murderers someone who is ready

99
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:08,000
to exchange their lives for the lives of

100
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:12,360
as many others that they can take with

101
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:17,240
them is a very difficult enemy to fight

102
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:21,400
but fight them we must identify them we

103
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:23,000
must disrupt them we must infiltrate

104
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:27,080
them we

105
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:31,199
must because although the road to this

106
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:34,240
hell has been paved with many

107
00:05:31,199 --> 00:05:37,479
things none of which I left unidentified

108
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:42,240
in the course of that

109
00:05:37,479 --> 00:05:45,560
Journey the road which led us to this is

110
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:47,759
quite easily tracked and traced and I'm

111
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:50,759
one of those along with Jeremy

112
00:05:47,759 --> 00:05:54,440
Corbin and some small number of others

113
00:05:50,759 --> 00:05:57,120
in the British Parliament did track and

114
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:00,400
Trace at the

115
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,039
time but this is not the time

116
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:05,199
to concentrate on those

117
00:06:03,039 --> 00:06:06,759
because whilst

118
00:06:05,199 --> 00:06:10,960
avoiding

119
00:06:06,759 --> 00:06:14,800
the things which led to this is

120
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:16,599
important crushing what is now is

121
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:18,919
equally

122
00:06:16,599 --> 00:06:21,000
important because we can't accept that

123
00:06:18,919 --> 00:06:24,400
our children should be mothered I have

124
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:26,560
four children under 10 I can't accept

125
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:31,160
I'm living in a country where they might

126
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:34,520
be slaughtered in such a way God forbid

127
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:36,639
and neither can any of you in regard to

128
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:39,319
your own children or your

129
00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:43,800
grandchildren so get to grips with this

130
00:06:39,319 --> 00:06:45,560
we simply must we have no choice about

131
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:50,599
that

132
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:53,919
tears which are natural will not solve

133
00:06:50,599 --> 00:06:56,400
this just crying about what is

134
00:06:53,919 --> 00:07:00,319
happening will not solve

135
00:06:56,400 --> 00:07:02,400
it we need concrete measures

136
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:06,319
and men and

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:08,520
women who can seriously get a grip on

138
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:11,039
this security

139
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:14,199
situation I apologize to those who have

140
00:07:11,039 --> 00:07:16,400
just come in might have expected me to

141
00:07:14,199 --> 00:07:19,479
be speaking about the nighttime economy

142
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:23,319
and the problems in russom and I

143
00:07:19,479 --> 00:07:26,800
shall but we cannot

144
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:31,520
ignore the circumstances in which this

145
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,520
meeting is taking place today

146
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:37,080
have been under fantastic

147
00:08:33,519 --> 00:08:42,000
pressure of real time

148
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:44,519
cuts and yet after the police and the

149
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,480
firefighters who do we need next we need

150
00:08:44,519 --> 00:08:49,880
people to be there on London Bridge or

151
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,959
at the Manchester

152
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:57,560
Arena attending

153
00:08:52,959 --> 00:08:59,680
to the dying and the hideously

154
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:01,279
injured there's no getting away away

155
00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,959
from this I'd be lying to you if I

156
00:09:01,279 --> 00:09:07,160
didn't deal with

157
00:09:02,959 --> 00:09:09,600
it we need more police we need more

158
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,640
firefighters we need better funded

159
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:16,760
health care and Health

160
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:20,160
Services and we need better border

161
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:23,480
control and Border guards I don't

162
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:27,279
know who the mass murderers last night

163
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:30,040
were Sky News are saying they were

164
00:09:27,279 --> 00:09:33,880
pakistanis from East London and there

165
00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:35,920
have been 12 arrests in barking we'll

166
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:38,440
have to wait to see their

167
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,320
names and whether they were born here or

168
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:43,760
whether they came here

169
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:46,200
but whichever and

170
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:48,839
whoever it's very

171
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:52,000
obvious that we have lost control of

172
00:09:48,839 --> 00:09:53,480
this situation three terrorist attacks

173
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,279
in 3

174
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:58,839
months This Is

175
00:09:56,279 --> 00:10:00,760
War I'm sorry to use that word but this

176
00:09:58,839 --> 00:10:03,680
is war

177
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:05,560
the fact that other Wars helped fuel

178
00:10:03,680 --> 00:10:09,600
this war is

179
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:13,800
obvious and I was one of the main

180
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:16,519
leaders of the movement against those

181
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,720
Wars but that doesn't absolve us of our

182
00:10:16,519 --> 00:10:24,240
responsibility to defend our people in

183
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:27,600
this war here on our own so in our own

184
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:32,560
streets so we need more police we need

185
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:34,480
smarter police this child killer from

186
00:10:32,560 --> 00:10:38,240
Fallowfield was

187
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:40,720
reported five times to the

188
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:44,800
authorities five

189
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:46,360
times including by a member of his own

190
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:51,120
family

191
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:53,079
including from the Imam in his own

192
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:56,399
mosque and yet

193
00:10:53,079 --> 00:10:59,680
still he was able to travel freely back

194
00:10:56,399 --> 00:11:04,320
and forward to Syria which is now to

195
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:07,600
rather which is now a nest of Isis and

196
00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:09,680
alqaeda he was able to go there train as

197
00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:12,320
a terrorist and come back back and

198
00:11:09,680 --> 00:11:15,399
forward back and

199
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:19,279
forward even though five times he'd been

200
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:22,480
reported as someone on the road to the

201
00:11:19,279 --> 00:11:25,120
kind of fanatic

202
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:27,880
extremism that exploded at the

203
00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:30,680
Manchester Arena so we need more police

204
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:31,720
we need smarter police

205
00:11:30,680 --> 00:11:33,440
we need

206
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,800
intelligence and we need more

207
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:37,959
intelligent

208
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:40,160
intelligence intelligence that doesn't

209
00:11:37,959 --> 00:11:41,560
make matters worse but make makes

210
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:46,279
matters

211
00:11:41,560 --> 00:11:49,959
better allows us to disrupt infiltrate

212
00:11:46,279 --> 00:11:52,480
report on people who have murder in

213
00:11:49,959 --> 00:11:54,200
their

214
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:57,079
heart

215
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:59,920
so never confuse me with a

216
00:11:57,079 --> 00:12:02,920
liberal I've been saying that for DEC

217
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:06,839
decades I am not a liberal when it comes

218
00:12:02,920 --> 00:12:09,040
to Law and Order when it comes to

219
00:12:06,839 --> 00:12:10,000
terrorism I'd shoot these people down

220
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,399
dead

221
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,040
myself if I

222
00:12:12,399 --> 00:12:20,240
could as the police admirably did in

223
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:23,680
just 8 minutes from the first emergency

224
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:25,959
call last night will be falling of the

225
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:25,959
last

226
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:34,040
terrorist but we have to get a grip of

227
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:36,199
this security

228
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,279
situation now the election is going

229
00:12:36,199 --> 00:12:39,519
ahead on

230
00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:43,680
Thursday as it

231
00:12:39,519 --> 00:12:46,519
must because of course these attacks are

232
00:12:43,680 --> 00:12:48,519
timed to undermine the election

233
00:12:46,519 --> 00:12:51,160
undermine the Democracy Steven that you

234
00:12:48,519 --> 00:12:53,639
spoke of in the

235
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:56,720
beginning to try and get us

236
00:12:53,639 --> 00:13:01,199
to suspend our

237
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:02,760
democracy suspend our way of life

238
00:13:01,199 --> 00:13:05,399
but we will not do

239
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,880
that and so the election goes ahead on

240
00:13:05,399 --> 00:13:10,360
Thursday as it

241
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:13,639
must although of course it will now be

242
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:17,079
quite a different election over the next

243
00:13:13,639 --> 00:13:21,760
3 days dominated by these issues of

244
00:13:17,079 --> 00:13:24,399
which I speak now but that doesn't mean

245
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:27,680
that the constituency

246
00:13:24,399 --> 00:13:30,399
issues cannot be aired and

247
00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:33,920
debated which was the original

248
00:13:30,399 --> 00:13:36,680
reason why we convened this meeting why

249
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:39,560
Steven convened this meeting and

250
00:13:36,680 --> 00:13:42,360
probably the original reason why you

251
00:13:39,560 --> 00:13:45,519
decided to come to

252
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:48,040
it I'll be frank with you and I can't

253
00:13:45,519 --> 00:13:49,800
avoid this political point because I'm

254
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:51,440
running in the election I'm asking you

255
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:56,600
for your

256
00:13:51,440 --> 00:14:00,240
votes Manchester's great world class but

257
00:13:56,600 --> 00:14:01,759
this constituency has been left behind

258
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:05,079
whether it's our

259
00:14:01,759 --> 00:14:08,920
potholes or our poverty or our

260
00:14:05,079 --> 00:14:11,399
uncollected rubbish all the absolutely

261
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:14,440
chaotic planning system planning

262
00:14:11,399 --> 00:14:14,440
department that we have

263
00:14:14,680 --> 00:14:22,240
here and all of you if you live on this

264
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:25,680
side of the curry mile at least

265
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:26,880
know because I've been Steven took me

266
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:29,920
along

267
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:32,519
Alleyways the like of which I haven't

268
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:35,199
seen in this country at least

269
00:14:32,519 --> 00:14:39,079
before where the rats are running

270
00:14:35,199 --> 00:14:39,079
free where the garbage

271
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:45,720
is Stupify andly

272
00:14:43,759 --> 00:14:48,440
rotting and is

273
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:51,440
uncollected and people with businesses

274
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:52,959
with no planning permission at all for

275
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,120
those

276
00:14:52,959 --> 00:14:56,759
businesses people who had houses and

277
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:59,800
made them into

278
00:14:56,759 --> 00:15:02,000
businesses without any planning per at

279
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:04,079
all without any

280
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,480
regulation at

281
00:15:04,079 --> 00:15:08,720
all so that if you phone up and say this

282
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,600
burger

283
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:13,880
joint is disposing of its garbage just

284
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:17,279
out the back window and it's now a

285
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:20,360
mountain in which rats are

286
00:15:17,279 --> 00:15:24,199
multiplying the planning office must

287
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:26,160
say which business which B join we don't

288
00:15:24,199 --> 00:15:28,040
have a burger joint there we've got no

289
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,680
record of a burger joint

290
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:33,480
there you need an MP that's going to

291
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:36,199
make sure that the law is

292
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:38,399
enforced that regulation is

293
00:15:36,199 --> 00:15:40,600
enforced you don't need an MP who will

294
00:15:38,399 --> 00:15:43,079
be on the side of the Burger

295
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,759
Joint think about

296
00:15:43,079 --> 00:15:48,920
it you don't need an MP who's going to

297
00:15:45,759 --> 00:15:51,160
be in the pockets of The Burger

298
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:52,600
Joint you need an MP who's going to

299
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:54,199
stand up for you the people who have to

300
00:15:52,600 --> 00:15:57,079
live

301
00:15:54,199 --> 00:16:00,120
here and I am that

302
00:15:57,079 --> 00:16:06,120
man and other people are I'm not that

303
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:06,120
man and you know what I am saying

304
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:10,199
so we've got the worst roads in

305
00:16:08,360 --> 00:16:14,120
Manchester

306
00:16:10,199 --> 00:16:16,639
why half half of the highways committee

307
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:19,959
on Manchester City Council are made up

308
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:21,920
of counselors from this

309
00:16:19,959 --> 00:16:23,519
constituency and they can't even fix

310
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:25,480
their own roads never mind anybody

311
00:16:23,519 --> 00:16:27,120
else's in fact it's worse than that they

312
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:30,720
have fixed everybody else's but they

313
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:34,000
haven't fixed ours

314
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,959
why I tell you why because they didn't

315
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:37,399
need

316
00:16:34,959 --> 00:16:39,600
to cuz they took you for

317
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:43,480
granted they thought they already had

318
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:46,839
you in their pocket we have a saying I'm

319
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:49,199
Scottish of Irish extraction we have a

320
00:16:46,839 --> 00:16:50,720
saying it's the squeaking wheel that

321
00:16:49,199 --> 00:16:53,079
gets the

322
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,680
grease if the wheel doesn't squeak why

323
00:16:53,079 --> 00:16:57,920
would you give it any

324
00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,480
grease and you never

325
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:04,240
squeaked you kept on reelecting them

326
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:06,520
over and over again even though they did

327
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:08,439
nothing for

328
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:10,799
you why would

329
00:17:08,439 --> 00:17:12,439
they why wouldn't they spend the money

330
00:17:10,799 --> 00:17:15,439
that should have been spent here

331
00:17:12,439 --> 00:17:18,799
somewhere else well there was something

332
00:17:15,439 --> 00:17:19,839
politically for them to gain or a bit of

333
00:17:18,799 --> 00:17:22,679
horse

334
00:17:19,839 --> 00:17:25,280
trading I name no

335
00:17:22,679 --> 00:17:27,559
names you support me to be the Lord

336
00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:30,919
mayor and I'll support your roads

337
00:17:27,559 --> 00:17:30,919
getting fixed before our

338
00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:36,600
I'll support your services being

339
00:17:34,679 --> 00:17:38,840
improved before

340
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:41,480
ours if there's something in it for me

341
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:44,039
you scratch my back I'll scratch yours

342
00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:47,400
but nobody is scratching your

343
00:17:44,039 --> 00:17:51,240
back that's the truth of

344
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:54,600
it why is poverty in this

345
00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:56,520
constituency one of the worst in the

346
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,960
entire

347
00:17:56,520 --> 00:18:01,000
country I had to triple check these

348
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:03,200
because even though they came from the

349
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,640
Save the Children

350
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,080
fund don't get much higher than the save

351
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:09,600
the children

352
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:12,559
fund

353
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:15,919
44% of the children in this constituency

354
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:18,840
are officially living in capital c

355
00:18:15,919 --> 00:18:22,400
capital P child poverty

356
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:27,120
44% almost one in two of the children

357
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:31,400
here are in child poverty even more

358
00:18:27,120 --> 00:18:34,640
extraordinarily 74 4% of the families

359
00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:36,280
here are officially classed as lwi

360
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:40,360
income

361
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:44,039
families in Manchester the second city

362
00:18:40,360 --> 00:18:47,440
in England one of the richest countries

363
00:18:44,039 --> 00:18:49,240
in the world almost 3/4 of our families

364
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:51,240
are low-income families and almost half

365
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,880
of our children are living in child

366
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:55,679
poverty

367
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,840
why and what have

368
00:18:55,679 --> 00:19:02,760
your political

369
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:05,760
Representatives done about it not enough

370
00:19:02,760 --> 00:19:09,480
obviously not enough in fact they don't

371
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:12,799
even talk about it one of the counselors

372
00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:15,960
at a meeting we attended in leum just a

373
00:19:12,799 --> 00:19:17,919
week or two ago said he was sick and

374
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:20,080
tired of

375
00:19:17,919 --> 00:19:22,840
hearing about the

376
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:26,280
problems in Gorton Manchester Gorton

377
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:27,760
constituency which includes rush I said

378
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,120
you might be sick and tired of it but

379
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,200
you're not as sick and tired as the

380
00:19:29,120 --> 00:19:33,960
people who are suffering it yeah they're

381
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:35,640
even more sick and tired of it than you

382
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,880
are the question is what are you doing

383
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:41,760
about it and the truth is they're doing

384
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:43,360
nothing about it and why because they

385
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:48,039
didn't have

386
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:49,840
to so this area needs a change to me

387
00:19:48,039 --> 00:19:52,559
that's screamingly

388
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:57,559
obvious it needs a

389
00:19:52,559 --> 00:19:59,600
change because as Einstein said doing

390
00:19:57,559 --> 00:20:02,440
the same thing over and over again and

391
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:04,440
expecting a different result is a sign

392
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:06,679
of

393
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,000
Madness if you do the same thing over

394
00:20:06,679 --> 00:20:10,919
and over again you'll always get the

395
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:14,200
same result and the same result is

396
00:20:10,919 --> 00:20:17,600
failure these people have failed

397
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,919
you and now they've put

398
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:24,360
up

399
00:20:19,919 --> 00:20:29,400
a who's a creature of their own

400
00:20:24,360 --> 00:20:32,520
machine an appara check from their own

401
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:34,960
machine with no distinguishing

402
00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,919
characteristics

403
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:39,600
whatsoever if you think he's going to

404
00:20:36,919 --> 00:20:43,080
change things here in Russ well good

405
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:45,760
luck to you cuz I'm perfectly certain

406
00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:48,440
that he will not I'm perfectly certain

407
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:50,480
that if you elect abalan absolutely

408
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:54,200
nothing will change

409
00:20:50,480 --> 00:20:55,840
here but if you elect me everybody will

410
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,280
sit up and take

411
00:20:55,840 --> 00:21:01,760
notice everybody will know about it

412
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:04,679
and if I'm fighting for you everybody

413
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:05,679
will know about it because if it doesn't

414
00:21:04,679 --> 00:21:08,880
sound

415
00:21:05,679 --> 00:21:10,440
immodest when I'm fighting for something

416
00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:12,080
everybody knows about

417
00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:14,400
it

418
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,640
everybody because I speak about it

419
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:18,039
powerfully in

420
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:21,440
Parliament I speak about it on news

421
00:21:18,039 --> 00:21:26,000
night on channel 4 news on Question Time

422
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:28,360
Andy fancy iel can on question

423
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:30,320
time they wouldn't dream of inviting him

424
00:21:28,360 --> 00:21:31,840
on and if they did nobody would

425
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:35,279
understand what he was saying that's the

426
00:21:31,840 --> 00:21:39,000
truth of it and you know it it's a

427
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:42,039
brutal hard truth but it's the truth of

428
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:43,520
it when I'm fighting for something

429
00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:45,880
everybody knows about it and if I'm

430
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:50,600
fighting for you everybody will know

431
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:54,960
about it now for good or

432
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:57,640
bad your word is dominated by the

433
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,880
nighttime

434
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,640
economy and there's not much you can do

435
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:05,279
about that and it does

436
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:07,760
bring money and employment and so on

437
00:22:05,279 --> 00:22:11,360
into the

438
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:13,039
area and we don't want to damage that

439
00:22:11,360 --> 00:22:15,279
but we won't have the people who live

440
00:22:13,039 --> 00:22:17,919
here paying the price for other people's

441
00:22:15,279 --> 00:22:21,320
profits in the nighttime

442
00:22:17,919 --> 00:22:25,600
economy we won't have rubbish dunked by

443
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:29,320
the nighttime economy on you we won't

444
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:31,720
have roads unrepaired

445
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:34,440
in fact we want a premium for

446
00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:39,120
living in the area of a nighttime

447
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:41,600
economy we want the city to pay us

448
00:22:39,120 --> 00:22:43,840
compensation in

449
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:45,600
services for living in an area of the

450
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:47,520
nighttime economy after all it's the

451
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,000
city as a whole that

452
00:22:47,520 --> 00:22:53,080
benefits when I walk along Curry mile as

453
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:55,600
I do how many people do I meet do you

454
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,559
meet from outside of Manchester who've

455
00:22:55,600 --> 00:23:00,799
come into Manchester to spend their

456
00:22:57,559 --> 00:23:04,480
money that's wonderful but the city

457
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:07,760
needs to compensate you for the

458
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:10,559
difficulties of living chick by jaw with

459
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:12,000
a nighttime economy that means your

460
00:23:10,559 --> 00:23:15,200
services should be

461
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:18,840
better than the services other people

462
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:22,400
enjoy not worse but

463
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,679
better and you all know that in fact

464
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,799
they

465
00:23:23,679 --> 00:23:27,520
worse you are

466
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:31,279
getting

467
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:34,279
proverbially the wrong end of the stick

468
00:23:31,279 --> 00:23:37,480
here and that's not good enough nand the

469
00:23:34,279 --> 00:23:41,000
MP I'll make sure that everything

470
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:41,000
changes thanks very much for

471
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,600
coming
