In short

Ryan Bridge, a Birmingham football hooligan, describes his life story and argues for “Raise the Colours,” a flag-raising movement opposing illegal immigration. He frames the movement as a patriotic, community unifier meant to make the UK feel safer and to demand proper paperwork for entry.

Guests

Ryan Bridge is the episode’s guest. He presents himself as “one of Birmingham’s top boys” associated with the Zulu firm and Birmingham City matchday culture. He says he grew up in Birmingham, became a Blues supporter early, got involved with hooliganism as a teenager, and later faced arrests and bans related to football violence. He also claims to run a successful business and organizes football travel/coaches.

Key claims

  1. “Raise the Colours” began as an off-the-cuff flag action (including Dover) and grew into a national public statement.
  2. He links illegal immigration to crime and public safety concerns, arguing immigrants must be vetted and have legal documentation.
  3. He insists football violence is “a buzz,” not bullying or attacks on asylum seekers, and says he wants people to go home safely.
  4. He argues the flag is being targeted by “woke” critics and that patriotism should be respected.

Notable examples

  • Flag drops/placements: Solihull (near migrant hotels) and a large flag over Dover’s White Cliffs before Sept 13.
  • Football incidents: Man United away (he describes being attacked and banned), later arrests/dawn raid; a major Birmingham vs Millwall fight; mentions Wembley and other away matches.
  • He cites police/media backlash to flag protests and claims people called them fascists/Nazis.

And you met all the chaps and we had a great day and it's a great community and it's a great togetherness and it's, you know, it's proper. Yes, like I said, I was a bit thrown back by how many's involved, you know, so many lads that know each other.

2:48It's not like that from Scotland. Everybody sort of knows each other but more a friendly environment. it felt as if anyone was up for it at any given time yeah yeah everyone from like i mean wearing like this we're now like we're on the from the terry season the stands it's now to like we're all chucking in a few quid and we've got you know got a box and stuff like that and you come down to the box and we had a great day and it was great and then you've got other lads that are in the other boxes and other and everyone chips in together gets a deal and we're proper brummies that and that's what we all do we all stick together and um we're the untouchable firm in the country no it was a listen it was a great day great food a couple of the exceltic players playing for birthday as well so that was a little extra boost you know but yeah you're doing raise the colors you started that flags all on up and down the uk you're also over in cali um where else dover yeah so we do we do um you know from from the football day we sort of go from uh you And we have the chat and the like-minded guys.

3:53And then all of a sudden, this migrant crisis is happening and the illegal invasion of immigrants all over the UK. And a few of the lads were putting flags up in a little place called Solihull. And there's a couple of migrant hotels there. And there's illegal young men walking around the streets. And it's made themselves feel better. They're putting flags up. And you're all over in Cali as well, stopping board. So we sort of went from doing a flag movement where we love it to, you know, going, what's the next step? And the next step was we'll go to Dover and we'll put a big flag over the side of the Whitecliffs of Dover.

4:27So we dropped a flag over there just before the 13th of September. We didn't even have an Instagram or nothing. And it was start, right, let's sort something out. We'll call it raisethecolours.org.uk because there was no domains. And it was just an off-the-cuff thing. A few lads got together and then it's just grown from that to sort of what it is today, which is a unifying public statement and something that people can get involved in all over the country. And if you've liked or commented or shared or had positives about Raise the Colours and what we do, then you're part of Raise the Colours and everyone can do their bit.

5:04And we're going to try and change the course of history. We're going to try and change what hasn't been going on in the week. wokey governments whether it's labor Tory whatever you might be but we're going to try and make that change and make people um in the UK feel a little bit safer on the streets um and try and ease some of the pain and suffering that some of these um parents are sat there tonight and they've got the children or the missus or the dad or the bloke walking his dog got brutally stabbed for no reason by illegal migrants that are in this country unvetted and that's the bigger thing of what we're doing from obviously dropping that flag at dover tonight there is a lot of backing behind it but there's also a lot of negativity there is a lot of divide in the uk and all around the world you know i know you're a patriot i know you're a loyalist i know you're very like i say patriotic to your thoughts and your beliefs you always have been it's not just a case of the illegal immigration and raising the colors you've always been you've got tattoos everywhere since you were 14 and 15 years old but before we get into everything though i always like to go back to the start of my guests get more of a bit of understanding about you Ryan where you grew up and how it all began okay so I grew up in I was born in Birmingham QE hospital and uh my mom was cleaner my dad um you know I used to drive lorries for a living and um I used to train the six-week holidays when I was I was a little you know little shit and my mom used to go right jump in the uh you can go with your dad for two weeks now we used to go away in the lorry we used to sleep in his lorry I used to love it and we used to, you know, that was my upbringing and, you know, I went to Cub's Gates and I would have done the colour parade where you walk down with the union flags and you go to church on a Sunday and it was brilliant.

6:43We had a, we moved up towards the Lick Eels and we was in the Lick Eels and it was, you know, I had a great childhood. I went to a great school, I had great friends. I got into football, you know, little sister and, you know, brother and sister, mom and dad, nan and granddad. My granddad was a sergeant in, um, in obviously in the army. He was, he was brought up and my mom would always instrument into us, like my granddad's upbringing. So my granddad was, was, um, in a home. Um, and like when he was alive, he would tell us the stories about when he was in the home. So from six, he was in the work from six years old.

7:23He was in the workhouse right till he was 16. And then at 16, the war broke out. So when all the other kids were like scared of going to war he was just like this is better than being in that workhouse that i've been in all my life so we had a hard upbringing um and then he obviously met my nan and they met in oxford and my we called him uncle john so he was my granddad's brother he went to the dunkirk side german side and then my granddad doing the burma the burma side of the of the of the war right the world war so my granddad was in a sergeant major because he had a strong structure from his upbringing and then he met my nan and they wrote and pen paled each other for all the way through the war and they'd never really met each other but they met on pen pal and they planned their wedding over letters and we've got those letters and it brings a tear to my mum's eyes every time and she'll tell me stories and then my granddad he used to when I was growing up he used to have a little tin and he'd have like the Japanese teeth and he'd have the um they you know from these are the soldiers that's the bullet that never got me that was a badge off this about all the memorabilia and I've got it all I've got you know all these caps and bits of medals and stuff like that.

8:31It's just amazing. I was fascinated with it as a kid, absolutely fascinated with it. And I don't watch TV. I'd love war films and I love anything about like history of war and how things, how countries evolved. And I was just into that sort of thing and I got into the football. How were you like at school? At school, I was just a bit of a tear away. I weren't interested in school. I was interested in geography, but maths, English, just not interested. I was interested in like a bit of history, a bit of geography, as opposed to, um, getting the best grades or doing this. I was just like, I'd play football, you know, the guy in the playground playing football and, and then I met a group of lads in the senior school then, and we've, we was all like-minded blues fans.

9:20We used to wear blue scarves and that's when I got the real thing. because we had blue scarves on and then other lads in the playground had villa scarves on and that's when I was like oh I like this we're in a bit of a group or a gang and a and a bit of a culture and then it sort of went from there how did you end up becoming a blue uh my dad really my dad took me my dad's blues my mom's blues and we're from Birmingham and it's like you support your local team don't you so we we sort of um we used to go down and I used to sit in the paddock and I used to look across and we had the um the the spying cup across and you'd see this cut moving and when there was a goal, you'd see the surges forward and I used to be looking going like I was only, I don't know, four or five and I'd be like, I want to be in there.

9:59And I was just fascinated with it. I didn't wish to watch the game. We used to just mess about and run along the front and all the rest of it. And I was just fascinated with it. And, um, and then you see a few bits and bobs going on. And then as I got into my teenage years, the groups that we had at school, we started, you know, we'd watch, you know, the old Gary Oldham firm and all these football who did film and then there was stuff going on with England fans and I was just getting fascinated with the violence side really When did you get involved with the Zoolies? God I used to follow when I used to go to the games on my own really so from about 15 we'd like wag school and go to a game on a night game or on the weekend I'd get the pass to go out and we'd you know have a couple of cans of Carlin and a bottle of poppers and sniff there you know just mad stuff smoke fags and like share fags and just be sat there like a bag of chips and a fag and it was just like that's what we used to do we slot by 10 fags and share them and just you know like growing up in that's how we grew up and and then like Birmingham was just a massive part and then you get more into the club and the culture and then you'd see just an element of the hooligan element come and I was just like that's us and I just like tag along at the back and follow and I followed and followed and followed and then our top boy um the main boy I mean I know you've had a lot of serious people on your show and a lot of good people.

11:19He'd had some Zulus on and stuff. But our top boy in our firm, Kudz, he's the main boy. And I met him and he was 40 and I was 20. So we've got the 20 years gap between us. And I met him.

And we was, and then I met him like three or four months later and I'd like follow on and tag on. He'd give me a nod and I feel like, fucking hell, that's brilliant. Bit sad now because he's one of my real good pals. But we then went to Man United away and I got, I think I was half pissed. I remember I had a full Stone Island coat on it. I've paid like seven and a half hundred quid for it and I'd saved up and I loved it. And I had it on.

13:01The first time I had it on, it got all cut down the back. It got ripped to bits. I got threw in fucking horse shit. I got smashed in the nose. There was blood all down me. I remember coming, they didn't let me in the ground. And I went up to the top. There's a crossroads at Man U. and these like Man U lads, when your boys come, it's unlike, and I look, there's fucking hundreds of them. So I seen our, like the Zulus come out. It was only about 10 of us, something like 15. And I seen them and they went, hey, I was a young kid. They went, come over here, like. And I went, yeah. And I went, what's happened to you?

13:32Clean your fucking face up, right. Fall in line, let's go. And it was on. And I went, hang on a minute, there's fucking loads of them. And I went, we ain't bothered. And literally we got to the crossroads and the Man U, good firm, right and they come from north, south, east, west and it was on and we were back to back and that's when you got the... I've been in a few little rucks before but that was the one and I thought this is proper, this is a bit of me and since that day then it was just we were all together and I just united into the Zulu firm and then you sort of try and get yourself up the ranks I think and try and...

14:09I just loved... I just didn't want to take the piss out of Birmingham coming out of the city and out of what we're about and I'm I'm good to go I'm good to go and if it's on it's on and I'm you know I enjoyed it to be fair yeah because Man U has got a good firm I've had people on who says they've actually got the best firm yeah I mean numbers wise they've got that many from that many different parts of the country that if if it's on and they're on the day it's it's there's fucking hundreds of them and they're for every single angle um and then Subsequently, the next two years later, I think we played Norwich and Man U played West Brom.

14:53And there was a meet organised. This is back 2004. It's like 20 stretch ago, like you say. And they called it on and they were in our pub. And we went up there and the lot went up and we had it off. And the windows went through. There was chairs and tables. And I was just like, this is fucking brilliant. So I'm getting, I'm in the doorway. I've gone in the pub. I'm in now getting battered back out and was having it off. And then it was like the best thing ever. So then three weeks later, we play, we end up playing, Villa were playing, we went down there. I got nicked for that. And then I got arrested.

15:31And then I got dawn raided for the Man U. So I was on double bail for football violence. And I was like, oh, fuck. Then my mum was, my house got raided, my mum's out. It was a nightmare. me and then it was it was just done and i got off with that i got banned for i think i got banned for three years i remember a big fine um and then since then i've just sort of tried to relax a bit where you just get sucked in and i was getting to the england scene and all that so yeah what was it what would have happened if you ran away that day how do you think that would have shaped your life um i wouldn't have ran away first and foremost because it's either in you or it's not and the football buzz and the football violence buzz if you've got it it's it's not it's not about going up to someone and you know giving them it's it's not that it's the biggest and if you're a football lad and you're obviously watch these which a lot of football guys do it's something you can't explain if it's in you it's in you and if it's in your in your bone that football violence isn't like it isn't violent you're not attacking um you know an asylum seeker a legal immigrant you're not violently, you're not a bully.

16:38It's in you and it's something you can't describe and it's the best buzz and feeling when you're with the boys and you're going for the meet. It's the best buzz in the world. It's better than anything. Is it? Is it? That extreme. It's extreme, mate. It's extreme. It was for me anyway. I think a lot of lads will relate to it. It's the best buzz in the world. On a good day, how many lads has Birmingham got? Oh, we've come to London with 500 a few times. And like I mean, top draw, proper lads. There's lads that can like, you know, go, we've got a thousand lads and we've got this, that and the other.

17:13We've gone to Millwall with 500, you know, and we've had, but Birmingham, you know, with the police now and how they do what they're doing, we've got, you know, on an away game, there's not many people touching us if we've got, you know, 100 lads. But we'll also go 20, 30 of us now. And we know when none of us are leaving anyone, we're not going anywhere. and there's not a lot of firms that can budge us on our day. And I think, I'm not just saying it because other firms say that they're this, that and the other, but I think on our day, we're one of the top firms in the country. How was it going up against Millwall?

17:46How tough are they? Because everybody went, they're known worldwide as well for the hooligan. Yeah, yeah. I mean, I've had some good scrapes from Millwall, but not in big numbers, mainly when it's just like minibus here or a carload there or an indication there. I've had it with a couple of lads at England games. And as your face goes about, I've had a few little altercations with some Millwall lads. I also have been in company with some of their top boys through some of the Zulu top boys and the great lads as well. And it's like, when it's match day, it's match day. And when it's not, it's not.

18:24So they're a proper firm. And we played them on that game when it was the worst. I think it was the worst football violence mainland England ever see. And it was the Stern John winner in the playoffs. And Millwall, proper. They were proper on that. I mean, we were unbelievable. But we fought our way and broke our way out of the ground and done the business. And when we look what they've done, you know, you've got to take your hats off to them. They've done all their utmost to get to us. There was horses running around, you know, riders. There was pubs on fire, cars on fire. it's fucking mental and you think well we all done our bit there and I think they would write us that day and we'd we'd write them that day and I'm not one of these guys that just go we're number one and that's it you know there's there is a lot of good firms out there how do you justify the violence because people from all walks I watch these podcasts like you say a lot of football lads I've had the majority of them not asked about hooliganism I don't mind them because if hooligans work without hooligans who gives a fuck it's just when obviously the crossfire the media especially English boys every World Cup every Euros the English lads are causing it you'll see the chairs and the tables but for the families and that how do you justify it for the violence yeah because we don't want to I mean when I got when I had my three year ban it was the main thing they used in the court case was because the chairs and tables that were going the windows were all going through there was somebody having their meal in there and that ain't right you know and it's not right is it that ain't right but you know we're not into that I mean I think they've done it by you of Scotland way where they're in the forest fighting um but that didn't really i mean that's that's the ultimate isn't it um toe-to-toe brawling fists but football violence isn't really like that's the casual scene he's going out in the day with your mates having the drink and that and it was and it's it was you know it's loads of different elements of it which which are good who's the toughest family you've come up against

20:22um no i'm ready we hold our own we hold our own with whoever you're the fuck i'm gonna and I'm like it's a fucking trick question that is it's the one that stands out though like when you've got because everybody says they get run at some point because I had Bill Gardner on who was West Ham top boy great story but people don't realise the hatred for each other because Tiny who was one of Millwall's top boys wanted to reach out to Bill and the other West Ham boys were telling Bill fuck him off who cares he's dying Bill says there's got to be a bit of respect to him they made each other they made the phone call and it was kind of a mutual respect, you know, which was a good thing.

21:00But people don't realise the actual hatred. Well, obviously, Aston Villa, for me, and I'll end up that he cut my own throat here, hanging myself, but for me, they're not up there where we are, West Ham, Millwall or anywhere. You know, they're not in the same league. But out of principle of where we live, that's who we hate, right? But out of the flag movement, I have spoke to a few Villa lads and, you know, they've messaged me and this, that, and the other. And it's not really, you know, it's not a Blues and Villa thing. And on match day, it's game on. But, you know, it's not really that sort of thing.

21:36Whereas, you know, with Blues, there was a funeral of a Villa lad the other week. And I never went to it, but we got a reef together and the Blues turned up with the Zulus and presented that. And it was, it's out of show respect, really, because, you know, Villa were there and Blues were there. and it's like it's not match day so it's not you know it's not it's not like the films like say Green Street where you see him in the pub and he's having his tea on the night and you're going to go in there and attack him you know we're not bullies and like if you're with your missus or kids or families you know it's just it's a nod and a smile really and we crack on we're on match day time How does it work with different divisions if you're in the Premier League 1 season and then the sort of first division is it a big step down because I've spoke to people as well who says some of the toughest firms are the smaller clubs I think Grimsby get a shout out like Sanderlin, Sheffield United, I know some good lads at Grimsby, Meadowsborough, Alison, most of our top firms, yeah Meadowsborough a top firm off come and snook at Meadowsborough.

Get started at ChatGPT.com by selecting work mode available on Plus and Pro plans. Two seasons ago, actually, come on, stuck at Middlesbrat. Went around there, stupid, five, six of us. Just fucking heads are gone. We lost in the last minute. I mean, come on, we're going off a moot. We'll go left instead of right. and that's my thing down the football and I end up going for a little mooch and what I wouldn't want to do is embarrass our name and our firm which the lads have got for years and years of battling but I just get that passion sometimes in the drive we went round then we done alright but we didn't win but we didn't lose So you said it was a draw?

24:14I don't have had a draw I don't have had a draw but I had a few on me I had to go into the crouch position a little bit, the Peter crouch. But it was, yeah, there was a few on me and it's game. But, you know, they're not stamping on my head while I'm on the floor because they're like-minded lads. It's a scrap and a standoff and, you know, a few lefts and rights are getting thrown. You know, it might get a kick here or there, but no one's going to start jumping on your head and trying to stamp on your head. It's not a bait. It's not a bait. That football violence isn't a bait. You don't want to kill the person.

24:48want everyone to go home to their families at the end of the day. So what is it about then for people who don't understand it? It's a buzz. It's the biggest buzz ever. And that's, you know, I said it, it really is the, you know, it's like, it's just the maddest buzz in the world. It's like a rollercoaster. Why would you want to go on a rollercoaster? And then you go on it again, but it's horrible, but you love it. It's the same sort of thing. It's just a great buzz. Have you ever seen anyone go too far with it? Yeah, I have. Yeah. Don't mention them. it has an encaminate on Black Have they went yeah a lot of you got a lot of nutcases out there there is yeah and that's like it's not what we're about we're not about that we're not about that at all and I have and it's just like and then people that are like that they come and go they're you know the local loon or wherever and they come and go but proper solid football lads it's in you and it's in you from when you're you know 18 to when you're you know 88 I suppose I'm not too sure but I've got like our top boy now and he's gonna kill me for this our top boy now he's getting on a bit and um he you know he's a businessman and he's no no i'm retired i'm this that and the other but it's in there mate and you can't get rid of that in there you think that's just the fighting spirit i think a lot of people in britain have that though there's fighting mentality yeah 100 i think it's it's um i think it's inbreding us from all walks of life and it doesn't matter i mean we're a multicultural firm um but if you're from birmingham and you're a brummie then and you support birmingham i think that we're all the same we all stand up and i mean when it goes mental at west ham's another prime one when we when west ham have beat us and it went mental that day i don't know what game it was years and years ago i was only young again and uh you had like shirts and we call them shirts you know they're not dresses they've got the shirts on and their shirts are wading in and you know blues have got a load of lunatics and they're all shirts whereas and you go freaking but the hardcore elements would be the the sort of casuals how what does the zulus mean to you what is the name the zulus mean to you oh god it's this mental i mean i've got you know that tattoos i've got zulu tattooed over me it's just something that it comes to into my head and it's like like i love tattoos so i've got like my legs completely like zulu i've got zulu here i've got little zeds there i've got i've got a picture of my kids on my back so i've got all the kids in the portrait and me one son's got a scarf on him with a zulu pin badge on the scarf just a little thing it's like it's just in me we've got like you know we've got our own bar now um yeah you was in it weren't you with us and you you met the lads and you seen it it's all like zulu stuff there and Zulu stuff there and in our bar it's like we've got all the Zulu stuff everywhere and the flags and it's just that's where we all go and it's just like a family a community and anyone can go and you could be on your own just walk in there and everyone's welcome because as long as you stand on you're good as gold.

27:45Yeah it was busy who's the oldest in the firm do you ever get any older there's older look who have had that there's obviously the guy you met who looked after us and saw just the tiki tiki he was like sat in the other side doing a bit of hospitality because he's getting a bit posh now So he was over that side and when we come back over, he will tell us stories when we're out. And he's got like, he was a young kid and then you got the older ones and the older ones and the older ones. So it goes on and on forever. And it's like Birmingham had the Zulus and then before that it was the Apex. And then it was like that Skinheads and they're all different firms, but the Zulu name, I mean, that yeah I've been told stories by by some of our lads and they're like we had the national front on on the in the terraces and in the stands and I'm like what like you can't I'm 44 so I wouldn't even know what the national front looked like what was it like I've can you can google it and see a picture but they're all old pictures and nothing relevant to this you know the last 40 odd years for me um they're like yeah national front was on the on the stands and they tell you tell me the stories and then you look what they've done to eradicate racism from Birmingham and have Birmingham as a multicultural firm.

28:56And it's just brilliant, isn't it? Yeah, it's very multicultural. Brilliant is important for, obviously when we touch on the interview, the things that you're doing, because even the flags and stuff you've had. What age did you get your first England tattoo? Oh, 14, 15. My mum can't write. That was nothing to do with racism. Patriotic. Yeah, I had that. Yeah, and it's a really good one. I think these things are important to show you're not just doing the things that you're doing now to hate on all colours because with the Zulus and at Birmingham there it was all malt with cultural if not more black guys than white you know so and everybody was sound there was no racism a lot of jokes a lot of fuckery a lot of madness which I love that's what it's all about for me you know what happens in house stays in house and that's what it should be all about so when you're going through the sort of ranks in Birmingham same Big Baz Bannington I've got to give Big Baz a shout out God bless him I'm an absolute warrior I know he's Mrs Tracy very well two great people he was probably the first hooligan I had on oh really I was kind of just starting off and it was a 40 minute interview and eh just a big unit just a great big guy and it was sad to hear him pass you know but he was telling us about the wars and all the fighting and I'm thinking because I was just starting off this 6-7 years ago I didn't understand it we don't really get it in Scotland but now I understand it more now I know all the lands from all firms and now I just accept it because I'm used to it and I think do you know what do what you've got to do yeah um but how hard is it as well like how tight is the brotherhood for people you grow up with and people who lose their lives like it's not just a case of hooliganism there's more to it than outside of fighting yeah of course i mean like you go back to sort of tracy and we've got um you know big bird we've one of our god rest his soul big bird but if you thought barrington was big like big bird was made him look small you know i mean he was he was like massive and he was just he was like real real real good pal a real close guy and um and all the lads who watch this they'll be just like big bird rest in peace because he was such a gentle giant real nice guy but if he needed to switch it was on um and he was you know in his grave is he's sort of next door to barrington's grave at the cemetery so when we all go there for one of the birthdays and whatnot we all you know we all raise a glass and we all we all sit around and there's music playing and the family and the community of Birmingham City come together um and you know to even have the graves next to each other is just just amazing isn't it um it's it's like nothing and I don't know if there's other firms that are as tight as that but the Zulu firm is we're all as one whereas as whole we're as one um and then words that I've just said they were a whole as at one I was on the Danny Dyer documentary you know and he done that thing on the football firms and I was on that and I was covered up because I was on bail and it was 20 odd years ago and I said them same words we're blues we're Zulus we're as whole we're as one doesn't matter if you're black white there and it's like and you know what I'm tired of spouting on about the the race thing and the black white thing because we're just from Birmingham we're just normal geezers yeah we've spoke about it off camera as well we're quite close off cameras not too close none of the gay shit but i'm just saying like we have conversations i've spoke many times i hate the divide yeah i hate it because like you say when we're in birmingham it's multicultural it's all different people all different religions all different backgrounds and i don't want to be part of the divide but we've still got to make a stand from where we're from as a scotsman i think we've got to be proud of our colors i think we've got to be proud of who we are dotloons with identity i think it's we're in a place i'm massive for free speech i'm massive against illegal immigration i think you've got to have the right paperwork i always have to sort of repeat that like you can't be coming to a place not having the right paperwork in case you do anything i think we've got enough dick kids in the uk from the uk we don't need any more just now until we sort out our own problems i just think it's a bit of common sense to understand you've got to have the right legal documentation so we know who you are in case you cause any havoc i think it's just as simple as that but when there's boats and boats and thousands of people and young kids getting fucking tampered with and beating up and people getting robbed and i'm not just blaming illegal immigration for that because again we've got enough dickheads of our own doing the same sort of stuff but there's just everything's under a microscope just now and i think the media can play each other against each other from left and right and black and white and muslim and christians but we're at a stage now there's something does need to be done you know so see when you're going through all the ranks that what was the sort of method then?

33:27Were you putting up flags then? Or were you just getting on with your life? Because I know you've got a successful business and stuff as well. And we're back. Streaming on Peacock. May I present to you the award-winning staff of the Toledo Truth Teller. Slap me. Let's jar something loose. Ay, yes! I like that. The Certified Fresh Series returns. Your boss, you always like this? Or is this just an act? Oh no, this is mad. Oysters, everybody! Has it happened? There's a certain satisfaction when you work with someone. Maybe we could be a family. You sadistic pig! The Paper. New season streaming September 9th, only on Peacock.

34:30New customer offer for initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy. See terms. So luckily for me, my business is, it runs, you know, I've got a great team behind me and I've been successful. So I could sort of concentrate on other things. And I was doing all the coaches down the blues with all the lads and we were running coaches and we were going to, you know, we went to Wembley and we lost the other year. So we, you know, and I was, I think I'd done about four or five coaches going to that and there's hundreds of tickets and it's great. And I'm organizing this and I'm keeping busy doing things like that.

35:00And then the sort of flag movement come together and I was just like, yeah, this is bad. What's going on? And it was every single week there was, there was the next problem, the next murder, the next rape, the next park full of illegal and vetted men. And it was just like, what is going on here? And then, you know, you've seen people putting flags up and I thought, well, I'm going to get involved in that. and then when I get my fix, I've got to complete it and I don't know about completing this one but I'm going to have a good go. But your life is easy then. You're in with the Zulus, you're making money, you've got a good life.

35:35Why get involved? Why put your face to the front of it? Because by doing so, which you might have already realised now, maybe not at the start, that comes at a cost. You've got media against you, you've got the left against you and as much as people say, oh, they're this and that, they're very powerful when they get together they're very well organized because they think fuck it like that's where you need to be careful what you're doing because this is a game and have you now tasted what it's like then to bit the fucking other yeah like you've just said be careful and you know how many people have said to me ryan you need to be careful ryan you need to be careful i don't need to be careful what i need to do is protect what we've already got because being careful and sitting sitting there and doing nothing for me I'm at the time of my life where I want to look back and go would you know I've had a good go here and I've tried to change the course of of what's going on I've tried to change what these governments have done over the last 20 odd years and the mass um migration and invasion of you know illegal people into the country committing horrendous crimes and yeah I don't need to do it and I could just sit back and have a great life but for me i'm not doing it and that's why you know the left go grift out or they go this that and the other i'm not bothered it's water off duck's back i really you know me i'm not doing this for money i'm financially stable i don't need to do it and i'm doing it because i love my country i'm passionate about my country i'd i'd go down the football and people say you got to be careful you don't get nicked it's the same thing is be careful thing you know i have but if i love birmingham and if someone's someone's threatening me one of my friends one of my family I will stand and fight for what I believe is right and that's protecting my own first and foremost and then protecting my friends my family you know Birmingham City if it's match day and then if it's not my country and I stand up and I stand for that and that's where I'm about what was it like putting a flag up for the first time I've done it for years anyway I've always always had flags in my garden always had flags up tattooed got flags all over me I've now you've seen I'm covered in And, you know, I love the Union flag.

37:39I love the flag of St. George. I love, like, Scotland putting their flag up. I love when you go to, I don't know, you go on holiday, you say you're in America and you've got the American flag, stars and stripes everywhere. You just, it's not even my flag. It makes me feel proud to be proud of them. And I just think it's absolutely brilliant. I said, if you go to a country and they're flying their flag or their police force or their army's walking around, they've got their flag of their country. Fair play to them. They're protecting their borders. And I believe in closed borders. and I believe in protecting what's yours.

38:08And I think that's the way forward. And that's why when we've come across the woke lefties that hate the flag, that cry their heart, that go, oh, we're scared. And I get back to that National Front thing with the football. I get that we get people in the 50s, when we put the flag up outside their house on a lamppost, they're like, please don't put that union flag. Put the white and red one on the St. George. And they're like, yeah, put that one. But as younger people will say, They don't put the St George. And some people class that as an EDL flag. And they class that as a national front flag.

38:39I can get their mindsets. But if we can take this back off anything that's racist, if we can take this back and show you that this flag is all of us as a whole. And it just represents and it makes us feel a bit better from what our government's doing. Because under the banner of that flag is our government. And our government, under that flag, Starmer, he sat there. Have you seen him on the boxing? He's trying to punch the thing. Like, he's in charge. He's head of that flag. and he's the master-in-chief and he couldn't fight to sleep and he's not... He's not a leader. He's not a leader. He's not like our queen was and I'm a royalist as well and people don't like the royal family and I think if we eradicate the royal family I think we are finished.

39:21I think that's the one bit of... We had them nutters around here. We're in London, aren't we? And we had them nutters throwing custard all over the crown jewels the other week. It's disgusting. That's when our police should come in forget batting in football hooligans and having 50 police spotters following me up the road going to places like the crown jewels and get them young kids that are young lefties from this liberal these schools that are throwing custard and and you know cakes all over the crown jewels it's just disgusting it's treason they should be locked up and people that take that flag down should be locked up as well you see america even when the american national landfill comes on they all cry you know they're patriotic I don't think there's listen we've got patrioticism here in all countries in the UK but I don't think it's as strong as other countries and I think that's where the divide is coming in like if you're putting up a flag and somebody wants that flag down from that country you should be sent to prison you should be done for vandalism like I don't and I'm not first game racist and I don't want to be the guy oh I've got black friends I've got this or that but it's just fucking common sense it's a flag from the country and you've got to respect that flag at all costs it's not a case of they're doing that for for divide, it's just being patriotic for your country because the country in the United Kingdom is losing its identity you know, I don't know about the Christianity thing, I was raised Catholic myself I don't think there's as much Christians in the UK as there used to be, I think it's starting to grow a bit now but I think there used to be families here, 5 and 6 kids, married at 18 I think everything's changing, the UK is very multicultural but the UK is known England, Scotland as a white nation a white christian nation back in the day family life and i think it's all changing people i understand people do get scared as well because of the national front we would have raised up in that i had narindor on she was getting called mad words so i can understand how people can hate or be scared of certain things but there's got to be common sense put in place there's got to be an understanding of why he's doing it this is the reason and it's not that deep but people just want to fight people just want to complain how did you realize how big it would have went with raising the colours and how far it would have went with everybody joining in yeah i mean it is it is a brilliant a brilliant togetherness that we've got under the banner of the flag and i and i love i love it but like it's it's like there is like a few guys that have come against me at the football and then they're on the outskirts of the firm and they're you know and they're they're you know i shouldn't even mention what colour they are but they're black guys and they've gone i've got a problem with this or i've got a problem and i get it and i want to like even grab them people and go it's not about colour or creed this is not about this isn't even about religion it's about what's right and what's wrong and it's about it's about that we're in our country under under a christian uh banner but christianity invites everybody in and it's not one way and and you know this way or the highway it's it's you know it's a great thing and we are losing our identity and i think that if we can get some of that back um and we can sort of and i think we are getting it back i really do think we are i think for me to have you know little old me from birmingham to have like two and a half million views on on something it's just mental it's absolutely mental it's just crazy what sort of problems have you ran across with putting up flags because i've seen videos when people are wrapping them off and screaming and shouting yeah i'm going to call the police people have been shouting people have called the police on us people have called the police saying were inciting hate, fascists, Nazi, this, that and the other.

42:49I'm like, that flag eradicated Nazi Germany. You know, you go to Poland and you have a look at what they wanted to do. Them Germans wanted to exterminate everybody. You know, I don't know if you, you'd have gone left anyway. You know, when you got off that bus, it was which way did you go? And unless you was, you know, tall, blonde hair, blue eyes, you was gone. If you had any sort of pigment in your skin or, you know, and Hitler was a rave. I've been fucked. Hitler was a raving psychopath. Um, and that's not what we're about. We're not, you know, far right. It's just a flag. Um, but what it stands up for is, is, is more than that for me.

43:24And, and yeah, you know, I've had a bit of grief, but who doesn't get grief from what they're doing? I've put flags up in my local village and a woman's come out sort of saying that she's, you know, disgusted and nearly crying and all this. And it's the people that we're getting the problems off are the middle class, white liberal wokey lefties that think that they're in this bubble of a community. And the guys that are from the 50s, from the black community, they're English people, they're English-British people that are under the banner and going, well, yeah, we're British, we live in Britain, we're born in Britain.

44:02They're generational, so it is what it is. And they're fitting in and guess what? They go to school, they go to the doctors the dentist they pay tax and we're all the same so when people do that it means that it means that they're integrated properly um and they live within a culture in a country where we you know you know we don't we're not like spain we pay to use the toilet but we go to the toilet properly and correctly whereas the people that are coming in that are from um perhaps might have the same pigment of the skin coming from a third world so they're not going to integrate the same as how we've been brought up.

Get started at ChatGPT.com by selecting work mode, available on plus and pro plants in uk schools um and i believe that the people that are coming here are economic migrants what is the laws for actually putting up flags is there any laws uh it's called an article on a lamppost so if you're going to ban the flags then the person that puts the village fate and and tie up it's that's the same sort of thing but the council actually use lampposts you see um to put up you know if there's planning applications in the area and they put it on the local lampposts so it will backfire in their own faces so we're waiting for that to happen the winter's come along so we're waiting for the councils to go that it looks scruffy we've got a project going on all throughout the winter at raisethecolours.org.uk and they are um to keep the flag wagons on the road we've got the cherry pickers and we're going there we're maintaining the flags and making sure they look like you know pristine and as good as we can we're getting donations off people for flags and people are you know pinpointing could you do this road or could you do that road?

46:28And these are people that perhaps work for companies where they can't be seen to be liking their own flag or their own country. People that work for the NHS that have to sit on the middle, fire brigade, all the blue light services there, you know, they all have to be very, we haven't got an opinion and why should you not have an opinion on the flag of your country? Because people will say that means this or that means that. Well, for me and for Raise the Colours, it means that we're trying to get unity and we're taking that flag off anyone that's racist and we're just going to make ourselves feel a little bit better for what's going on in the country and what's going on with this government uh and the invasion of what's happened how many flags have you actually put up thousands upon thousands now it's in the thousands it's brilliant we've ordered we're ordering like two thousand at a time so we'll order a thousand unions thousand saint george's and now we're getting people requesting to have them um sent out to different areas we've got raise the colors groups setting up everywhere all over the country and patriots are getting involved and it's making people feel great.

47:29The thing that saved this government and saved is the winter and the cold nights because it's getting chillier. So people will be able to be more flags than ever going up. So I just hope over this winter period, they don't bring out a law against the lampposts and the flags. I really do. But we'll keep going. It goes on the district and what council and what they think. We've done some lads in Solihill done. You've got Birmingham Airport and the runway as it comes down. you've got the lower lampposts and they've done all around there. So when they're coming at Birmingham airport, it looked amazing and we've got reports the other night that the council, the city council that can't afford to collect your bin bags, you know, on the knees and they went out and you know, were paying for cherry pickers, were paying for vans and lorries of cones, patrols and closing off roads and all the rest of it to sort of take the flags down and it's just it's it's mental that they would want those flags taken down but somebody in some council from somewhere doesn't like it um and then you go let's try and put it to let's try and put it to the old you know cub skaters walking down the street or we only have one day a year when we show our flag and that's you know on on armistice day on poppy day and i just don't think it's big as big as it shouldst george's day has never been celebrated as big as it should be you know if you're a catholic Paddy's Day is a great one.

48:51And you know, it's sort of trying to eradicate everything out of communities now. And Paddy's Day in Birmingham, in Digbeth, where obviously the Blues community, you know, we all congregate there because that's where the home stadium is. But that's sort of gone now as well. And like, we'd never go down to Paddy's Day and start going, you can't have Paddy's Day here because we don't agree with it. This is our country. Just that's Paddy's Day and you carry on. And it's from whatever culture you're from, if you support something, you're right to support it. but the people that I'm dealing with in my own community and where I live, they're like, they're like a war against me to take these flags down and then ripping the St George and ripping the union flag down and saying, we know what you're doing.

49:30I think, well, what am I doing? I just like the flag of my country. What are they saying you're doing? Like for people who was maybe raised in the 50s, the 60s and 70s, especially with the National Front, who maybe had, there was a lot of racism there. Like people, it wasn't just gay bashing. Like people of color were getting battered. Yeah. So I've never ever seen that. Yeah, we weren't born. I weren't born. But what would you say to those people who are scared? They may be scared of the flag because they maybe think it is. Right-wing extremist kind of stuff and racism. Well, you know this, like you're saying, homophobic, whatever they might be, bashing people for what they believe in.

50:05If anybody like that was around me or you now, we wouldn't have it, would we? We would stand our ground. We wouldn't turn our heads. We wouldn't bow our heads. we would make i would definitely myself make a forefront to go i'm not having it you're not part of me and i want you away from me and uh we do our you know we do our bins to stop it and we're just not about that and that's what i'd like to say to these people that it's the flag of our country and we're not doing it to divide and cause division because it's under the banner of this country so why are we trying to divide it's just crazy and we went to an area called sturchley and that's when it all started and when the videos started to go viral and a guy come out the shop and he was, you know, he was a white guy and he said this country's finished and the rest of it and you're doing this and you're doing that and I'm just thinking mate it's a flag and he wouldn't have it and now this guy started putting all Palestinian flags up everywhere because he thinks I've got something against Palestine and Israel and all that.

50:57I'm not bothered, I'm bothered about my own country and that's it. I'm not, you know, I'm not far right, I'm not far left, I'm not any, I'm just a Brummie who is sick and tired of what's going on in this country and I think we need to come together under the banner of the flag and be a bit patriotic and unified together and stop this uh stop what's going on yes so for me that's simple but people's brains are so easily warped with social media like you see raising your flag for england or scotland and then people jumping on the bandwagon with palestine or israel i'm not asked about anything outside of scotland the uk i'm not asked my kids are here that's my main concern i don't give a fuck about the rest there's wars went on for thousands of years there's wars go on in Palestine Israel Ukraine Russia Nigeria if you want to start try to protect human beings start protecting Nigerians and other humans who are getting slaughtered all around the world I think people are easily brainwashed to then support it if Israel and Palestine is getting so much attention on the media for me there's a reason behind it I know so there's a lot of silence behind the Nigeria side of things like I'm not educated enough on outside stuff but it is frustrating when you see people with all different flags because if people knew certain laws in palestine or israel and you go go take your daughter there go and take your gay brother there go and good luck yeah yeah do you know what i'm saying because we're all right yeah very nice people i mean you know a year ago everyone had the uh ukrainian flags up now it's the palestinian flags then it was the stop oil then it was the plastic in the sea then it was Syria and like it's like things get forgotten about then and like oh is that war finished now is the Syrian thing finished is the Ukraine thing it's like where do you get all I'm bothered about is what's going on coming into my country our country and our and under our banner um if you play the line then if you're playing our tune then we're fine and I just think that our government's so weak and I think we're giving so much money to these other countries and I just think it's I just think it's completely wrong people jump on trends people want to be trendy because they jump on the majority of the trend yeah ukraine palestine nobody really knows the information for me it's not a case of that the soldiers think it was for me who's funding the wars who's pulling the strings behind them that's my question but i like to think i'm educated enough on certain things to not just fall into their bullshit and not just i don't want to gravitate towards any sides that's why i went of you left right people who raise palestine flags i want to understand why they're doing it because everybody's does what they do because of why is the way they've seen things, you know, and everybody sees it differently.

53:30So I'm not telling people, do this, this is the right way. You could be wrong. I could be wrong. We've got certain beliefs that's bang on point, but there's things that things we'll disagree on. But that's okay. You know, we're living in a world where everything's soft and everybody's just wanting to fight and arguing. You're ripping down your country's flag and raising another country's flag. I've got people giving me shit online about talking about flags, but they've got a flag of Palestine, Ireland, other place, Ukraine. and I'm thinking, what the fuck are you talking about? Fused people. And they're from Scotland.

54:00Yeah, they, oh yeah. Do you know what I'm saying? Like, don't be so confused that you forget where you come from. Yeah, exactly. Because if you don't like where you come from, fuck off. Fuck off back there. And that's where I'm at with it. It's like, if you don't like it, you know, follow suit or just ship out or go and go over there and see. And see what it's all about and go and have a look. if there's kids starving and dying like there was in the 80s in Ethiopia for example and we sent aid and you know comic relief and all the rest of it but when you hear that comic relief sending money to aid people to be getting on boats and whatever they're doing I just think it's just a big scam and I think it is over the top and I think it is um it is powered by the by the higher powers that be and it's bigger than government level because um if i was in government now i'd go all right you know the royal marine commandos that are all on standby just nip into the channel on three or four ribs just stop the boats can you do that yeah no problem sir be done overnight why is it still happening why have we got the best technology ever we can spot submarines russian spy subs under you know thousands of miles away under the sea this that and the other with a drone and we can do this that and the other yet you can't see what i've seen on the beaches of calais and dunkirk going like that boat's going to be in the sea in a minute going to france and we've sort of stopped it and i'm just a bloke from birmingham so it just blows my brains and i just think it's a complete scam i think that the the cultures that are coming to this country and why and the people that are coming they're not do you hear that that sound right that means that summer's officially here It means that grown adults just sprint into the street for a frozen dessert shaped like a cartoon.

56:59Boots.

57:05asylum-seeking migrants. And if they are, then seek asylum and you go through the proper vetting process. These people are coming over for another purpose. And that's the worry because the men that I've seen are all fighting age men from Sudan, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, from Africa, going through Libya. And then I've also seen people from Afghanistan, northern, you know, there's different parts of Afghanistan and different sort of cultures within that country. um so you got the people that are towards like mongolia side and then you got the people that are towards pakistan side and the different parts of and they're they clash with each other yet they're meant to come and integrate in our country and they integrate with people from africa and a different continent in europe going through europe and out of uh out of the eu and then into england and then we go there's the hotel with loads of meals every day it's just bananas and we'll pay and we don't know where you are and you can walk around the streets and you can kill people and it's all alright.

58:05What do you think the agenda is behind it? What do you think if you went that deep and down the rabbit hole with it? With the agenda and why it's been allowed to happen? Some people say digital ID. There's other theories about it. Again, I just stay open-minded to it all because I don't really know. I'm the same. I'm open-minded and I don't want to go down as one of these oh he's a conspiracy theorist or his theory is this or his agenda is this or this that and the other. I just want to stop them boats coming into my country. Then we'll deal with the legal migrants that are here already. Then we'll deal with why they stood here for five years in a vetting process and why they're allowed to roam the streets for five years in a vetting process.

58:36If you do something illegal, you should be locked up. If I break into America, I ain't seen the light of day. I'm locked up until they know who I am, what I'm doing, where I'm from. You know, you mentioned America earlier. You know, you go to America and you mess about, you're in trouble. You go to America, I mean, you know, they play that Stars and Stripes. They're patriotic and you can't blame them. and you know you are going to get a few steps through the net in homegrown but

59:03James English, I don't know if it's the big boys like your Amazons, your Ubers, your Deliveroo's, all these big boy companies that are the biggest companies in the world. I don't know anyone that works for them. I don't know anyone that's, I don't know how you apply for a job for them and who they are. I mean, I've just come to you now and there's just Uber Eats and Deliveroo everywhere. And I don't want to stereotype, but they look like the guys that run them boats. But I don't want to be a conspiracy theorist. I just want to stop it. yeah but if i can sign up for everybody today with my id i can give my login details to anyone and they can use it exactly so you give them login so that's what we all think's happening don't we but it's all a conspiracy we think so if we think it we're just the normal people on the street the government must know it why won't they stop it because the government know they're coming across on small boat dinghies which they call small boats i've seen it firsthand they're not small boats these are massive dinghies carrying nearly 200 people right it's a conveyor belt they're not just using that dinghy that's brand new and then just leaving it they're out there and their conveyor belts coming in and out and in and out if they do the if they're in a foot of water the french police can't touch that dinghy so they're not ripping them off i've seen it firsthand once they're in that water and they're it's over their knees the french police are done it goes there and leads to the french maritime police and then the maritime police go which way do you want to go we want to go that way to england and then our lot stood on the 12 miles going okay we'll tug you now and they're just towed on and on and then they're going into the old Dover catamaran and they get to the transfer ships and they've got the rescue ships and then they've got escort boats and then they're into the old where the hovercraft used to be which is converted into the the check-in hospital which no one's ever seen because it's completely top secret.

1:00:44No one's ever seen the handover of immigrants in the sea to our to our RLNR. You see the odd photo don't you it's always the trophy photo the token photo of the man holding the baby the woman holding the baby they've got t-shirts on it's middle of summer it's just that token photo you've got the photo of the french police holding the holding the riot shield with the gas and you got a woman with a baby it's a load of shit but that 40 alone can change a narrative of millions exactly and that's where the divide comes in yeah unless you've seen it with your own eyes Had Narendra on Who's very left Very outspoken Says everything's About racism We've stopped the boats And that But She took the piss out of me If she's not seen The other side Like I say I thought she was alright man I thought she was down Totally Changed my perspective Of who she is Online to who she is In person Fucking Brand new she was And a lot of people Might not like that But I can only speak If I do you treat me But She thinks it's all about racism She thinks it's just angry is middle white men fucking hating on people of color because she doesn't see a problem with illegal immigration i mean gary neville said that didn't he uh angry middle-aged white men um that's what you are and you're causing division and divide i'm like gary the nut these are men that are paying their taxes which you've never done gary gary neville you've never sat on the building site with the lads in the freezing cold looking in your bank balance going i've got no money for another two weeks till i get paid then going oh what am i going to do now i've got the kids Christmas presents, the missus is on the phone, it's the birthday, the kids need new shoes, I'm in the shit, the cars, the alternator's going on the car, all the problems that we all have day to day, Gary Neville's never had none of them, and he goes out and pipes about men of our country that are making themselves feel better by going to work and going, do you know what, we're going to put a flag on the building site, and he's gone up there like the big I am that he is, and ripped down the flag.

1:02:34I think he's a fucking piece of shit, man, I really do, I think he's an absolute weak man, I think he's brainwashed, He's a champagne socialist and he's one of these liberal absolute idiots. I just can't stand the bloke for what he said. He's gone right down in my estimations. He was one of the best bloody right backs going. And I just think he's just ruined himself saying that. And I want everyone to go on them terraces and wherever he is, just slag him off and tell him what he is. Because those kids on that building site probably just felt like shit, freezing cold, building houses for some rich bloke, going like, what are we going to do here now?

1:03:07We'll put a flag up to make ourselves feel better. because they can't, they can't, you know, come to France with us and explore. They probably aren't in a financial position where they're going to go to the missus. I'm going to go and do something about it. Missus goes, you lose your job, we're in the shit. And believe me, people like Gary Neville would put you in so you lose your job. And that's what's happening. We've got people from the police, the fire brigade, the ambulance service working in the NHS and they go, we love what you're doing. Fucking brilliant. We love what you're doing. Keep doing what you're doing.

1:03:34Keep doing what you're doing. And if we make you guys at home feel good by what we're doing by raising a flag or going to investigate what's going on in France and stopping a few of these dinghies then we're going to keep doing it and we ain't going to stop angry middle-aged men the same men who paid his wages for 15 years like that that is fucking nuts to me like but he never really sang in a national anthem either he always liked that but what's his background then like why would he go against like is that because of his sponsors or because of people he works with like I think it's what was his motive to even do that I think it's been bred in you in life.

1:04:08And I think with me, obviously the patriotism was inbred in me from my granddad to my mom to myself. And I try and do that in my children. Gary Neville, his dad was called Neville Neville. So there's something confused going on there because it's mental. And I'm making a joke of it, but his dad's called Neville Neville. Gary Neville never sung the National Anthem for whatever reason. And he's probably got, if you looked into it, I can't really be bothered because I couldn't care less about it. bloke, but if you looked into it, I think the guy's probably just confused. He doesn't really realise what he's doing.

1:04:42He's wearing that badge of his country, yet wouldn't sing the national anthem, which represents that badge and what we've done over history forever. Those lads that won the World Cup, where we've got the, you know, we're Scotland, England thing here, but we won the World Cup at the end of the day. Bastard, you've got to fill that out, haven't you? Come on, aren't you guys? I'm just happy you've been in the World Cup. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. That was a good one. We had some good crack with you, like in Germany. Yeah. And, uh, but yeah, you know, and to, I just think, you know, it's our national anthem.

1:05:12I mean, he just doesn't want to do it. And then he wants to go public to go, he's ripped the flag down off a bill. I just think the guy's just confused. And I think he's very much the same as the other, the other woke, uh, middle-class lefties that don't really understand the pain and heartache. And they've only got that to look forward to. You look at the countries like your, Scotland's a prime example. look how good Scotland are away from home. Look how good you travel and follow. Because you love your country, can't knock it. You've got blokes putting their national costume, the kilt on. You've got the Pipers playing.

1:05:43And I go, it's brilliant. I mean, me and Danny Tomo, we went to France the other week. Now we've got a song, we've got a ritual, a playlist of songs that we play when we're going over the border. And the one is from the Queen's procession as the Queen got laid to rest, she had the Scottish Pipes on and it's just, it's unbelievable. And that was our queen of our country. And she, you know, she was in Balmoral and stuff like that. She was, she loved Scotland, didn't she? And it's just like, it's Britain, it's British, it's British and we're all as one and we're all, you know, we're all part of it.

1:06:13And that's what I think we're about. And that's why the, I know you're, you know, the Celtic thing, I just can't have that either, you know, they turned their back on the national anthem. They've got Palestine flags. And I think you're just confused, lads. You're confused. I love Rangers and I love people that love the country and why would you not? And I love people that love their country. And if Celtic, if people have, you know, from that sort of football team want to turn their back on the national, then go and live in Ireland or go and do that if that's what you think. And I'm not against what the Irish guys are doing with their, you know, they've had enough.

1:06:49And I think a lot of countries all over Europe have sort of got to point where they've just had enough financial slot we can't yeah because i think that was the first time like belfast and dublin kind of walked together like the island and northern ireland because there was too much happening that they actually united and that's what i'm saying if you don't respect the flag that you're from then off i think celtic's problem is it's the connection with ireland and they think it's freedom fighters they think it's but they don't understand it enough if you love palestine that much go there go there and have a go do you know what i mean would fucking go there but you've been through it all then you've started raising the flags like i say you've got a good business you've been a hooligan life has gone good started raising the flags but then you've went deeper again now you're going stopping the boats and you've took it to another level with illegal immigration how did all that kick about yeah well we just obviously stuff was going on in the local areas um you know people are getting raped girls are getting raped girls are getting story after story after story.

1:07:52There's another one on the way down now, Western Supermare, someone's, it's just terrible what's going on. There's a story in every single county and I think everyone can tell a story of what's happened. You know, there's a girl, Katie Fox, she's from Birmingham and she's from Northfield where we're from and she went to watch, she went to Birmingham city centre like, you know, a few weeks ago when the Christmas lights got switched on, she's never come home. Her family's devastated, it ruined for the rest of her life. They had done and dusted. You've got, um, what happened? She got, um, she, I think she got a throat slit and she got stabbed about 20 odd times.

1:08:26It's not been in the papers. No one knows. We went there and done a vigil. We hung some flags out and, uh, the police have cleared it all away. People that were there from every ethnic multicultural background, they didn't know what had gone on. And it's just, just a terrible story. It's just a terrible story. And it's things like that. While we can't let this happen. I don't want to be looking at my inbox and the girl is crying on the phone to me saying, I can't take my daughter to the park. I live next door to a HMO and it's full of Afghanis and Eritreans and I'm scared to death. I'm looking what they're...

1:09:00People are scared in their own country. They're scared because they don't know what we're... We don't know what we're living with within. And what's happening is these nutters are going into these, you know, look at Southport. Look at the guy that come back, got released. Then done. It's just mental. What is going on? We're overstretched, we're done. The NHS is stretched, the police are stretched, and we're full. And we need to look after our own first. How can you have veterans and single women of this country, doesn't matter what background you're from, that are on their own with children perhaps, and yet illegal migrants come into the country and got better care, health care, better service, better meals, better everything.

1:09:51And how can this work? It's just not right. What was it like going for Cali? Cali, to the first time, were you in threat? Were you in danger? Yeah, it was good. How many of you's went? Shout out to Danny Tommo as well. He's doing good work. Love Danny. Yeah, he's great. Plus he's on a good path as well. He's head screwed on. He's gone into Christianity heavily. And we've all joined together. There's people, Liam from the Kroba scene, we've joined together. Like me and Danny have joined together. Like me and you have joined together. We've all sort of joined together through what's going on in the world now.

1:10:25And we're on this journey and this path together. And I think it's brilliant because we can all relate to something or somewhere or somebody that's been in distress from what's happening with the government. and I just think that they're not I just think they're not standing up for the people that they're here already and I think there might be an agenda like people conspiracies say oh they're getting them in to get the votes but they can't vote so I just don't get why they're doing it, why they'd want to do it I don't know what deals are being made I don't know what's going on beyond the scenes I just do not get what's going on, I know we have influxes we had influxes of Polish Hungarians like you know five or six years ago, but these guys come in, played the game, can't get a job because of all the Polish, that was the old thing, wasn't it?

1:11:12Whereas Polish seem to have gone back now, earned the money and gone back and paid the way and paid the taxes. No one was demonstrating against Polish guys. No one was demonstrating against, you know, um, Pakistani, Indian, African, uh, Nigerian, people that are legally coming in. No one, no one's doing protests there. Chinese people. I work with Muslims. I work with, um, Chinese and, and no one's protected everyone pays the wage and pays plays by by the rules the rules and it integrates into the culture which is the most important thing exactly it's all about the culture yeah how bad is it how bad is illegal immigration for your own eyes because you've seen it first hand like how does it i first of all how bad is that in your own eyes 40 000 uh they reckon that's that's saying now but only 32 000 are in hotels and hmos tonight that means 8 000 will be given status within the first however long so I just think it's bent I think the figures are bent and for me to see what I've seen in them camps 40 ,000 could be 80 ,000 when we were there the first time we went the eight lads we went down and we made a pact we were right we're good together everyone keeps it done we got some got the tactical gear on ordered it off to the Amazon and uh it was just a farce really it was just like what are we doing it was like we're going on a fancy we look like we're going on fancy dress dressed as commandos it was hilarious We went across and we ended up like shit got real and we're like, I can't help.

1:12:35We literally got off the off. We got off at Calais, um, turn left within 30 seconds. There was, there was a hundred Sudanese queuing up behind barriers in orderly fashion. NGOs there, two vans, NGOs had the jackets on, click board, and they were queued up, ready to go. And we pulled in. I went, lads are going, wait, wait, wait. it's all on all on the channels um that we've all on our socials and i was like hello guys where you going you going for the boat they went yes yes we go for the boat two hours we have to go for the boat i was like you know we're like jackpot we're like this is like what we've come for we thought we have to search for it it's right in front of your face so that camp that we went to then we went from there to another area and when we got there middle of the day was a boat stranded on the beach, 100 immigrants on it, the police just stood around smoking and I was just like, what is going on here in this country?

1:13:29And then we sort of went back to some digs, went back to Dunkirk, searched around, found another camp which was predominantly Asian, another camp which was predominantly African and they're keeping them, and we were sort of working it all out, we went back to that beach and the tide had come in and that boat had gone, so we're like, back, right, them other ones are moving, we need to get into the dunes and we got into the dunes on the night um cars come across we've got it all on footage you know and you've got all these lefties that are hijacking raise the colors accounts hijacking pictures of myself and danny and the boys going it's ai it's this it's that i've got the footage live i'm not i'm not a computer tech but i know what's real and what's not real and we've got ngos driving on them beaches guiding these people across onto the dunes and the boats are out there waiting and the boats are circling round and round and they're coming in, picking two up, back out two up and it's orchestrated and there's, you know, the guy that was on that one boat when you see me in the sea and I'm swimming out trying to stop them migrants getting on.

1:14:31He looked at me, smiled and waved and stuck his fingers up at me and I just think, fucking you don't give a shit, do you? You cheeky fuckers, because you think that we're just a soft touch. Why aren't our military there? so legally and lawfully we're gonna we're gonna take the bull by the horns and operation overlord is going to come into come into play and we're going to look to try and make a change and i think we have made a change because 1500 coming on that day um and since that day um which is over a month ago now nearly six weeks ago not one immigrants come across so they say but is that stop people coming over, to put things in place, to move the operation toward the beaches.

1:15:13Because it was at Sangat camp originally in the last 10 years, and it's moved from there. We've been there now. You can literally see Dover. We could see it on the binoculars. I'm like, no way, there's the white leash. You start thinking, I could swim that. It's a long way, but you can see Dover and to see it and think, bloody hell, the Germans got this far and we held them back in the war. Our forefathers did. Why aren't our government holding them back? Why not government stopping these these young men that are on a rubber dinghy? Why aren't they doing it? Why are they helping them? Why are they guiding them in?

1:15:46And it blows my brains mate blows my brains and I've got a fire in my belly and I'm not going to stop. How many comes over every day? In the summer he's got government stats and there's you know in the month of with 40 ,000 going across so you divide that by the 12 months on an average it's a lot isn't it? It's a lot. It's a lot of votes. 2000 it's a lot but none have coming since we've started since we've since raised the color started none have coming which is great and we've made a difference and we've stopped some boats what was it like in the camps like what are you seeing so are they dividing different countries different colors like in different camps in different areas and then within the camps there's different countries so within in um i don't want to mention the names of the camps because i don't want people to take it off their own back yet and go over there um but the couple of the camps that we went to it's mainly African-Eritrean.

1:16:37So it's predominantly an African camp, predominantly a Syrian and Afghani camp. So when we were going to these camps, the African guys are more chilled and laid back and not as violent. The Afghanis are serious guys and the Kurds are serious guys and they don't want to kill you, I've got this video and one come behind me with a knife. I got the life. Because there's all life vests and life jackets and decathlon are handing them out and the NGOs are giving them food and they're all getting prepared. We monitor the camps from a distance. And when we see the camps, you can see the activities that they're not going to go today.

1:17:18You can just tell. And then when it's like the weather clicks, that clicks, you can see them packing up and they're going to go. When you know they're going to move, the supplies that the NGOs give with aid and help from the police, this is what shocked us it goes from it goes from cooked pots of stew and food and soups and you know water on tap to cans of pop sandwich like pre-packed food ready to go so you know they're going to make the move and that's when we seen them queuing up in these lines and i was like what is going on here this is like orchestrated they know it's happening so why aren't our government if we're giving them 850 million over the last 10 years and starmas give 280 odd million Why aren't we just sending a team of lads from Birmingham and going, right, just go and stop that in that camp?

1:18:06But they're not. We're told, get away. It's a secure zone. You're not allowed here by the French police. So why are we paying the French police all this money on a weekly basis? Why can't we even see what's going on? Why can't our government go there to actually go, all right, you're facilitating this? I've been to Paris. Me and Danny went to Paris. We spent a couple of days in Paris because we think they come in and they, they, the central hubs through Paris. Um, and that's the main train lines. And we found documents on the beach in the, in the clothes that the NGOs told them to take off. And within them clothes is the documents from, uh, a lot are in Holland.

1:18:42There's a problem there, there's a problem in, uh, Belgium. And they come down to, through Lille and through Paris. And these people then is the goal is to get to Calais. and when they get to Calo then they're divided into the camps and then they're told where to go where to stand and what to do would they get benefits in any other country no they claim they try and claim asylum but they don't get the benefits that we give them and that's why and they don't they're outside so whereas our lot to say our government they will put them inside so it's outside out of mind so they'll put them in like the Krobra camp um which is an ex-military base they'll put them in hotels they'll put them in the HMOs as and when they're vetted and the worry for me is because these people are so dangerous and unvetted um and they're they're from countries where people of different backgrounds mainly like what was talking about the left they're second race women they're not the second right these men are soldiers these men are these men are good to pull a knife on you.

1:19:50They're good to, you know, brick and stone our cars. This is what they were doing over there. They're good to form a line and stand on, and they're good to attack us. And you've got NGOs from England stood by them and facilitating them. And I just think they're complete scumbags. It's not a humane thing. This isn't humanities. They're in a safe country. It's that they want to get to the UK. Is there any women and children there? I'll be truthful with you. I have seen women and children walking up streets in France, but not in the camps. So I don't know where they go. I don't know if in France, I don't want to be one of these guys that's, and this is where I don't know.

1:20:29And I don't want to get it wrong. And I don't want to be flat out. These are, you know, I have seen, and the last, I've been there eight times and I've seen, I've seen a couple of sets of women and children once, once or twice. And for me, I don't want to not say that I haven't seen it because I have seen it and it's the truth and I'm just going to tell the truth but I did see it and I did feel like now if we're going to help anyone you can't have a woman carrying a baby right and I'm a humane guy but should you come into the country illegally the answer is no if you need to come in apply for asylum and go through the routes because you know Boris Johnson brought in four million he brought in when he was in term elite legally that's without the illegal migration he bought four million asylum seekers in legally you know a town city the size of liverpool he brought in and he integrated them into our our communities um and that's why there's a massive um change like london's completely changed isn't it you know tell me a cutney that don't go london's not london anymore it's not you know it's hard to find the cutney isn't it in london so what do they get when they get here like what's the what's the sort of stuff so their benefits and free health care housing like what do they get people say they get ipads and mobile phones like how true is it yeah it's really true yeah i mean they're getting that from ngos um and who has ngos for people who don't know it's a non-government organization so these are people that classes and non their classes are charity so they'll they'll set up and you've got to think the left are very very strong in what they do they're very educated as well as we are who are central or right-minded but the the left will will have people, I've had the left attack me personally, they're reading out my date of birth, they're reading out my home address, they're reading out when I last went to the dentist, the doctors, these are people that have got high positions, whether it be in councils, courts, doctors, dentists, NHS, where it might be, but they are then spreading that information out on these websites, so the NGO is Hope Not Hate, Care for Calais, Utopia 56, you know, Antifa basically, you know criminal organization in america if you're part of antifa you're getting locked up whereas in this country they can walk around with their antifa masks on and say you live here you live there and we're going to do this to you and nothing happens to them whereas it's it's terrorism what they're doing there you know that what they've done to me and i'm not banging on about me because i don't care i'm at the point where i do not care i'm in this now and uh you know i'm not i'm not bothered about ngos i'm not bothered that ng when we go to france ngos are telling me my full name, telling me what I've done in my past and stuff like that.

1:23:11I'm not bothered. I'm bothered about what's going on in the future and I'm bothered about protecting the women and children of our land. And that's my priority. And what are they getting when they come here? To the British shores? Well, they come in. We've got some patriots that are following us at Raise the Colours and they've infiltrated some of these HMOs. There's free dental care, health care, eye care. In the hotels, you've got your doctor, sorry, you've got two nurses that go in there. So you and I feel fairly ill or not well. We don't get doctors in this country anymore. You can't get the doctor to come out to your house.

1:23:49You can't get a doctor's appointment at a GP surgery. You go to the hospital, it's like 20 hour wait if you get a 12 hour wait you're lucky if you're in trouble in this country and you've got something wrong with you internally or something where you need a scan or something like that you're in trouble in this country and we haven't worked our forefathers haven't worked and done what they've done for our government to sort of just just toss it up the wall and just mess about with it why are we giving so much money to all these um people that are doing illegal things and coming to this country illegally yet yet our elderly are dying in the dying corridors or hospitals and stuff or can't even get seen or stood outside in an ambulance because there isn't a bed ready yet and then the ambulance is warmer than the corridor it's an absolute farce so what these people are getting we've got the paperwork and we're going to do an investigation on it i'm going to show the show the public what we've seen these hmos um like you've said about uber eats and deliveroo we've got pictures we've got videos the motorbikes are in the kitchen the delivery bags under there the uber eats ones under there this guy's moonlighting with his other cronies um these are kurdish or afghanis and uh we've got a story on these guys which we're going to show and you know they've got this they're working and they're they're asylum seekers who can't work selling a national insurance numbers but they're living under benefits they're living in the hmo where the fat cat who owns the hmo is getting probably three times his rent it's going to be refurbished for them and i just think it's just a complete joke they're getting the benefits of this beautiful country yet the people of the beautiful country that have created it over the years, from wherever nationality you're from, we're getting jeoparded, we're getting penalised for it, I just think it's a joke.

1:25:32What do you think about the British men who own these hotels, who are then working with the government to get funding to then put up illegal immigrants? Yeah, I mean, you look at the hotels, people have had their weddings cancelled because the hotel's been took over and if you own a privately owned hotel, there's only a few that have gone we're not doing it we're out and i respect them so much because they're the type of people that that i am myself and it's not about the money it's not about this that it's about stopping what's going on and if they if we can all do our own a little bit i think it's great but these hotels i mean the ibis hotel um which i want everyone to boycott and i also want cathelon boycott it because they are funding uh and they're behind a lot of it and i found out that Ibis Hotel is actually a French company.

1:26:20And you just think, what is going on here? It's just mental. I mean, last week in France, to see 15 riot vans escorting these guys, I'm like, well, who's paying for that? That's where the money's going. It's clearly to escort them. You know, the NGOs, who is funding all these companies? You know, you and I have got more followers than some of these NGOs that have been out for 20 odd years. So who's funding them? Because they're not that big. I'm not saying you're not big, but yeah. But I'm just saying, it's mental. The money that's involved in this and the behind the scenes is crazy. And we've got to get to the bottom of it and we've got to stop it.

1:26:57And I think with us all coming together, I think with everyone in the country coming together, we can do what Starmer was going to do in smash the gangs. Because there is no gangs. There is no fat cats in Paris, in nice hotels, in Ferraris and Lamborghinis. The gangs are the police. The gangs are the NGOs. the gangs, the people telling these people who haven't got education like we have to circumnavigate across Africa, across Europe, from North Asia, and to get to Europe, to get to Paris, to get to Calais, and then Calais to England, because that's what's happening. What are these illegal immigrants getting taught what they're doing, what they say?

1:27:33Did they get a checklist? Yeah, there's checklists going on. A lot of them are told, say you don't know a date of birth because the country you're from, you don't have birthdays and whatnot. So then they're given the 1st of January. They've got the checklist to say, a lot of them is to say they're from Eritrea because Britain have got the deal with Eritrea where they've got the, if you're from Eritrea, it's definitely asylum. You can claim asylum if you're from that country. But for me, these people are going through, I mean, from Africa, the journey from Africa, I think it was like 12 safe countries before you get to England.

1:28:05So I just, I don't get why. A lot of them are coming through Turkey. A lot of them are coming through, there's an island off, um italy and there's an island on italy where the migrants get to it's like a halfway house in their home there i want to look into that there's loads of stuff i want to look into and i'm going to get to the bottom of it all um but for me before i go further afield like the furthest i've been so far is paris and uh it was a bit too far for me i got to paris and i thought yeah you know these these migrants do want to get to england but they just aren't on that on that train yet and they're looking to go to Belgium first or to Holland first so I know other countries have got the problem but what they do the countries do they push that problem on and they all end up in Calais and then they all end up in the UK and for us to have the the brunt of it all and then to cater free and then for our NHS to suffer and our national health you know that I just think we're on our knees and we just we're done.

1:29:01But surely some of them want to work surely some of want a better life do you think every one of them is here to cause mayhem cause destruction because when you look at all the christmas markets now they've all got barriers up because apparently there's someone's planning terrorist attacks at these christmas markets even the schools are planning some sort of terrorist attacks where they're doing lockdowns for kids to go under tables if anything happens to a school over the next few months they'll be up bro i believe there'll be a civil war i believe right enough will be enough i think it's only one catastrophe away like another south port for people just to blow their top completely they've done well to actually stop the riots but that's what they've done with the big sentences but they'll come a stage where nobody will care they'll need to jail everyone and that's a scary thought because the civil unrest and the madness where does it go and where does it stop you know but i think there's only one bad thing away like south port for people just to go no your sentences give me what you've got i'm that I'm fighting for my people.

1:29:59Yeah, I agree with that. I'm, I'm sort of at that sort of point as well myself. I mean, I'm putting myself in the harm's way, but don't, I don't care. I'm not, I'm not bothered. I'm not scared. These people aren't a threat. These people are economic migrants. People say, be careful of this, that, and the other, you know, they're, they're living in camps that have got knives on them. You know, if I'm out, if I'm out fishing or camping, you know, I've got me a fishing knife at the side of my bed where I'm asleep under the stars, cause you just never know. And that's what these people are doing, but they're not a threat at the moment.

1:30:28what the issue is is why they want to get here and what the end goal is and what the plan and it goes back to um like some people that follow what we do will go down the route of uh the muslim terrorism you know x y and z since the world trade centers and stuff like that for me at the moment i'm concentrating on illegal migrants coming into our country on small boat dinghies that are large boats and then i'm going to concentrate on the migrants that are in this country and then we'll look to just try and get some sign of presence and get some sign of voice and get some kind of we've had enough because for me it doesn't really like if you're a Labour government Tory government it's they're the same there's no sort of stop if I was going into power not a politician I don't want to be but if I was you'd just go that stops now and I can't understand why and how we aren't getting the military to just stop it because it's like they're open with open arms uh police force are just weak um you know and you wouldn't want to be a copper because there's no authority a young kid does something they're just putting a camera in your face and that's what gets me with the football thing because at football it's old school and you're getting a baton around your legs and you deserve to because you're willing to have a scrappy someone else but for what's going on now with these migrants i just think it's i think it's just complete joke and it's got to stop and it's just it's blowing my brains it's took over my life Why are they allowed knives?

1:31:56Well, in France, they're just, exactly. There's no checks on them in France. These guys, we've got it on video the other week. Surely they must be searched when they get into camps and stuff. I'd imagine they'd be fucking doing their own in, killing their own, stabbing their own as well. There's a lot of murders in the camps. There's a guy, an NGO that come to me last week and he was following me, trying to get me out of the camp. He wasn't. He was just letting the other migrants know, this guy isn't one of us. So when I'm walking through and blending in, excuse me, didn't like it. So. Was there any white illegal immigrants there?

1:32:29No, they're very, they're wrapped up, like, completely wrapped up. So it's quite cold. You can't see the skin colour. Because obviously, if you're a white guy, I'd imagine it would blow your cover straight away. Yeah, yeah. But we're wrapped, we're all sort of wrapped up and, you know, and the NGOs just straight away. Let them know these guys are not here to help. We're here to expose what's going on and expose them NGOs, really. I think they're the problem. him these ngos english yeah yeah one was a brummie you're joking i'm joking mate he's a brummie he's talking to me knew my name and everything look me in the eye look me in the eye knew everything and he wrapped up to there so did they get a heads up that users i think they phoned from another camp and they seen the english car but don't worry race the colors i got a plan to get around that as well and we're going to uh we're not going to stop mate we've got people that are from a military background, people that have had enough that are educated, people, I've got a web designer woman just phoned me, I've got someone on about banners and flags, someone on about I'll answer this and I'll help you with that and it's like what the military are doing, school teachers, we've had enough, everybody, educated people have had enough and that's why the left and people like Narendra saying we're far right and fascist, these are people that aren't from this sort of, you know, outside protesting from back in the day.

1:33:48This is people all across the world, all across the country that are going, this isn't right. These are people from high, low, middle class, upper class, teachers, firemen, people on sites, building sites, people working as doctors. These are people all over that have gone, enough's enough. We've had enough. This isn't right. And our government are spending all our taxes for that 20 % of that hour you work is going on the government to spend your money and they're not spending it how they should be spending it. They're not spending it on people that are paying those taxes. We're sort of giving the money away.

1:34:20We're giving aid away all over, which, you know, if we're going to give aid away to other countries, then great. The billions we give away in aid every single year to all these countries for them to then just flee their own country and then come into our country illegally and then take the peace again and again and again is what we must stop. I interrupted you there when you said that one of the NGOs was telling you about the killings or something inside the camps. Yeah, he said, you don't know what's going on here. this is inhumane. There's two people that have been shot, shot dead in here in the last year.

1:34:50I just thought, I've been shot dead. Who the fuck's got a gun in here? Because if I walk around my country with a gun, it's illegal. If these people think that's all right to be walking around with guns and knives. You seen the guy last week, tried to come behind us with the knife, you know, and I'm like, this is mental. These people will be on a boat and we'll be in Britain in 25 minutes. and then they'll go, oh, I can't go back because it's a war-torn country. It's a complete joke. And these people think that that's okay. These aren't people fleeing the war-torn country. They're living in jungle camps.

1:35:27There's a couple of camps. They're called jungles and they are a jungle. So these people are hardy people. These people aren't scared about mucking in and sort of sticking together to get what they need to get, whether it be food, circumnavigating across Europe, trains, and then they're very clever as well because they're dealing with these NGOs that are giving them the tuberculosis tablets because of the diseases that they're carrying through. They're not in our culture and they're not brought up how we are. They have diseases? Yeah, we found multiple sets of tablets for tuberculosis on the beaches in Dunkirk.

1:36:04And the NGOs go after the boats have gone and they're going to clear it all up. It's like they're up the hidden truth of what's going on we found letters of asylum we found people's id we've got asylum in in holland um yeah they've gone to france to come to england are they throwing their ids in the water yeah 100 are they told to do this yes 100 so what would happen if they had id would they get rejected they get they get a rejection so now to get id yeah they come to the uk they would get rejected but no idea they can get into the uk they take their shoes off and they take um they take they all go with no shoes so it looks like they've got completely nothing so I think that's on the tick list as well so what do you do they take the shoes off they all say sexuality as well sexuality yeah they say they're gay they say they're gay and they all say that they all say well they're 17 aren't they they're all 17 so what does that mean under 8 when they get to yeah and they've no ID to prove that no ID so if you was going in there with a big fucking beard look about 50 yeah yeah a quick shave and then yeah I'm 15 there you go and you know look look at those two 17 year olds that were walking around the park in leamington last week raped the 15 year old girl she filmed it on her phone and she's saying please hurry up while they're taking turns to rape her and sexually assault her um and she's saying begging them to hurry up and finish and then these guys then say the 17 and the ones are juvenile and he can't be sent back it's just a joke it's a fucking joke and we're our court systems that the prosecution systems solicitors lawyers police the trauma team for what for us letting them in on a dinghy last just last year so i'm gonna get on that beach i'm gonna stop that dinghy and stop these families because that girl's life's ruined and destroyed her family's life's ruined and destroyed just like all the other people that have been murdered through um illegal migrants coming into country of unvetted people.

1:38:00We need to stop it. And that's what we need to do. And these lives are ruined. And the people that should hold their head in shame and that don't say anything is the government. Why aren't they out on the streets going, we are so sorry, we're going to do this, we're going to do that. And these families' lives are destroyed forever. And it will be like my family, where I've got the generational thing of being a patriot. These people are going to have a generational thing of hurt and pain, of suffering. and these people will never be the same ever again and it's affecting family after family after family.

1:38:31What's the laws behind it for what you're doing though? They are heavily trying to stop what we're doing. We got detained at the border last week. The British Border Force passports, when they press the passport down, that's when it all flashes up. They look at us like three times. The one guy even started smiling at us and I thought, what's that sound on that machine? And they let us go through and then we went to the French side and she just went, yeah, no, you know, as they do straight. I thought never stopped us. We're through. Brilliant. We'd done our, we'd done the business, got to France.

1:39:05We were there a couple of days, me and Danny. The last couple of hours, we found that boat and we was just, we were ruined from the trip and we thought, we sort of bubbled the beach really where they go from. The NGOs had moved. It was like, it was like a nice sunny beach in France and we're like, shit, we fucked up here. We've made it, ravey, made it on top and, uh, Went to a few of the beaches. We couldn't find these migrants. Then we seen the migrants getting on coaches with the army and police. And that's when we were like, what are we going to do? And then when we seen the moving, we're like, right, found that boat on the beach, ready to go.

1:39:39And we were buzzing. And then all of a sudden, we went back to the boat 20 minutes later and the boat had been damaged by somebody. And, uh, you know, that boat weren't going to see that day and was over the moon and, uh, What are they doing with their boats? Are they burying them? Like, how many? And how many beaches as they can actually go from? The sand dunes, you see. There's 70 mile a beach, but there's dunes. So in the dunes, the dunes go from the beach. So you've got the sea and then a mile, say half a mile to a mile is the beach. It's like, you know, like Western Supermere beaches, right?

1:40:12The sea's always out. It's like that and it's really low. And then you've got the sand dunes, which is another massive area. And then you've got like woods. It's like, it's massive. France is so much bigger than the UK it's not one designated area so to find them is quite hard so you follow tracks you see cars that have been driving on the beach you see a lot of tracks in the sand and we followed those as soon as you put a drone up signal blockers are on it so we've tried everything and we're on it and we've got a formula and it works and we get results from it Are the boats that they're coming over with being guided by drones from the UK or France?

1:40:53No, no. So at the front of the job, so you've got these, they come on pallets and we think the pallets are from Germany. So we think something's going on with the Germans and these pallets, inside the pallet, you'll have the boat wrapped up on the pallet and then when they get the pallet out and it's, you know, it's a massive, massive, it's not like a rubber dinghy, it's like a massive boat, it's like solid rubber. So the old philosophy is we'll slash the boats and we'll start, you know, you'd need like some heavy duty stuff um so anyway these these um these dinghies um are on these pallets and they get laid out and they've got all the um like there's a wooden thing at the back and there's the there's like wood that goes in the middle and it's like structured it's all ready to go and then down the side of the boat that we found the other day which was one of the best ones we found um all the pumps were ready so where the people had run over the june and then they're all on the station to pump it up fuel cans were all there ready and it was just like to see that had been up over the top and gone uh and to see we couldn't find the engine for that one but found an engine on the previous week um so they're blowing the the boats up letting the air down so we think they put the boat there there's no area so this is a brand new boat so when they come to the uk where do those boats go well you tell me i don't think they leave the water i think they're in the water and I think the hell the hell there is certain videos online but all stuff online I don't know if it's real not real I don't care I want to see what I can see my own eyes and if I'm live or filming or you you know you know me I'm not I'm not doing this to make things up I'm not doing this for for bullshank because if you're out of the line I couldn't doesn't look good I couldn't give a shit yeah couldn't give a shit all I'm bothered about is stopping them boats that's all I'm bothered about so they're getting new boats every day from Germany well I don't know if they're new or if there's ones in the water or if they're held somewhere or if they're tested i don't know i don't know the ins and outs of that but we've got some people i don't really want to mention they're on a maritime type job um and they've been asked on the job would what's your uh thoughts on um they're asked the question what's your thoughts on illegal immigrants and this guy went completely against it and they went oh no problem then you're gonna and he's working for like, you know, I don't want to say the company because you'll blow the cover of this guy.

1:43:13But these people are asked if they want to be helping to guide boats from the French maritime into the UK waters and then into Dover and then to get processed. So that's another investigation we're looking into. And it's people that are helping to raise the colours. They're from all sort of backgrounds and they're all going, I can help with this bit. I can help with that bit. And there's bits to this puzzle everywhere, whether it be from HMOs, hotels, back to the start with the NGOs and Paris or back to, you know, people going undercover in camps like the guy did the other night. You know, it's just brilliant.

1:43:48And I've, you know, I spoke to that guy and he's told me, you know, and we're meeting up and we're going to get together and we're going to share our data because we've all got this burning passion inside us that we know it's not right. We want to stop it. We really do want to do the Keir Starmer. We're going to smash the gangs. So everybody goes to the hotels, women, children, grandparents, people of all colours. Why is everybody not just going to the shores? Why is everybody not just not going and making a stand and saying nobody's getting in? In Britain, Dover side, because you don't see it, do you?

1:44:18Going straight to the source? No, well, the source isn't. We don't know where the source is because it's all under cover. So they're coming to different bits? Yeah, when we done the flag drop, no, they're coming into Dover and the process there. When we done the flag drop at Dover, we didn't actually do it at Dover. We had to do it up the road at Folkestone because the drone wouldn't go up in the air because they've got blockers on the drones. and it's so we the likes of you me and people can't fly the drone out to sea and go there's the boat doing this no one's seen them videos they're very far far far between few and far between because it's that iconic picture so they're stopping the drones from going up and accidentally video because it's easy to fly a drone and find out how many boats how many people you could do it in 24 hours you can suss it out no problem so they've got something to block it straight away yeah so we when we done the flag drop that's when we always open to it and i thought we can't even film our own flag what's going on here and then we moved the flag up the drone would work and we could do it from there and we got told that by locals they went you won't be able to fly a drone it's a blocked airspace and I was like really so that's when we're like right we need to investigate this more um so yeah these people are handed over at Dover um and we believe that then they're processed and then they go up to various hotels from Scotland Newcastle all the way down the country and then they've got hubs in there where they can choose which hotel and which region they want to stop in and then they'll get transferred and moved around and then they'll get their driving lessons, their free NHS, their glasses.

1:45:43They're even getting wigs. If they want wigs, there's wigs on the NHS form that we've got. I've got a physical piece of paper. It's printed from the NHS. It's not AR, it's real and you know in the list of things, would you like a wig? it's just mental that they're getting all these benefits off our nhs for free and they're breaking the law from day one coming into this country do they get to choose where they want to go i don't know i don't know i'm not too sure it's it's at the moment my bag isn't this side my bag is stopping it this side and if i get the travel ban um was touching on the the travel wasn't we going when going over there and when we come back that's when we we got stopped or we got detained for like three and a half hours what's the left saying to it oh they're they're complete um they're all over me um they're saying that we're just far-right fascist nazis um they've they're setting up groups they're very good online they've got all them butts and stuff like that that set up groups that copy us put pictures in of us and pictures you know doing memes and stuff i ain't interested I couldn't care less I couldn't care less about the left you want to come and see me you want to come and sit down with me you want to have a sort out in the car park whatever you want to do I'm easy I'm not bothered all I'm bothered about is protecting women and children in this country and I want the men of England to stand with us and I want them to come together under our banner legally and lawfully we can do something together So do you have any issues with refugees or legal immigrants?

1:47:15No I don't have any I don't have anybody that isn't that's legal and lawful in this country a refugee coming from a war-torn country that's fearing for their life. You know, we're Britain, aren't we? We're Christians and that's what we do. We help, don't we? We've done that all along. But if you play by the rules and you're coming through the front door legally, you're welcome with open arms. But if you come through the back door illegally and then exploit us and then take the peace and then rape and murder our women and children and make people feel fearful fearful on the streets then you've got to go how bad is it for illegal immigration who are harming british people like how bad is it because you'll see something online that could be enough to trigger someone to hate all illegal immigrants now not every illegal immigrant is bad there will be some good people but i don't know them all so i can't really make that assumption but how bad is it when they're getting passed around in all different cities like how what's the crime rate because I know rapes in the UK went from like 11 or 12 ,000 over the last 10 years, it's now up to nearly 100 over the last 15 years.

1:48:21It's not all illegal immigration, but there is a lot of finger pointing to say and a lot of stats to say it's a high percentage from illegal immigration as well. But how bad is it for your own kind of research and what you've been doing of these cities being terrorised by illegal immigrants? For me, I'm researching it and going into the cities and the stats and things like that. I'm not 100 % on stats, and I don't want to say anything that's not factual and get it wrong, but all I know is it's never been this bad. It's never been as bad as it is now. People haven't been as scared as they are now.

1:48:56The amount of immigrants coming over isn't going down. Illegal immigrants, sorry. And these illegal immigrants that are coming over are laughing in our faces all the way from France. They're looking at us and laughing and going, we're coming to England. We want to come to England. They're smiling and laughing because they know it's a free ride here. They know they're on a good screw. Um, you know, and I mean, if we sent back, what do we do? Uh, that Uranda thing just fizzled away, didn't it? A load of money that just went, oh, we won't bother with that anymore. The, uh, the other thing we're sending aid to France and we're sending money to France to stop them.

1:49:28They're still coming. It's still as bad as it is. Eight blokes from Birmingham, um, have stopped more boats this year than our government. I think it's a disgrace. I think it's an absolute disgrace. And they'll think when they're coming here. I think the cities are under threat and pressure. We're like a pressure cooker and it's going to go. And I'm scared for my family. I'm scared for my missus, my kids, and I'm scared for my mom and sister and all the rest of it. And I'm scared that people are going to be feel threatened in their own homes. We've got enough problems in this country. Not every other country's got problems everyone's got problems with good and bad in every culture but for us we're just inviting the trouble we're just inviting that trouble and i don't think that we should have people in the system that's unvetted um and that are coming from these countries where terrible horrendous crimes have gone on and it can happen in our country and i don't think why would we invite it in i just can't get my head around why what do you actually think the outcome of what will be over the next 12 months um i think if you've done a poll do you think there'd be civil war breakout possibly I don't know if it's in the next 12 months, but I think the country's on its knees.

1:50:39I think the country's ready to go. I think the government's just got weaker and weaker and weaker over the years, whether you vote Tory or Labour. I just think it's gone pear-shaped. Maybe we get reforming, maybe we don't. And I don't want to speak bad of, and I don't want to get into politics and stuff, but we all voted Brexit, didn't we? And people that voted Brexit, Brexit happened. And then it sort of, the person in charge of that just stopped. But now he's going to try and be the next Prime Minister. Maybe he will, maybe he won't. All I'm saying is there's people out there. There's the likes of, you know, I don't know, it's like Rupert Lowe's and all these different people and different backgrounds and different opinions.

1:51:21Just enough's enough. Enough's enough. And whether you're right-leaning or left-leaning, can you not see that we're in trouble? Can you not see that people are scared to walk the streets? elderly women walking around because they live next to migrant hotels with rape alarms on. There's an old people's home. I went to Southampton for the demo down there. I got called fascism far right. What? Because I'm going to a demo where there's 155 migrants living in a hotel, men, and it's next door to an old people's home. There's people masturbating in the gardens of the old people's home. They've had to put a fence up.

1:51:54That was her view. That was her view. She lived in this old people's home and she said, Tom, they've had to put a fence up for me. I just think it's a disgrace. I think it's a disgrace. They're giving our women rape alarms that live in the, you know, 75-year-old women because she lost her husband and she's scared for her life because she's living next door to some Afghani migrants, illegal migrants. What do you think needs to change? I think a massive shake-up needs to change. And I think we are changing. I think the country's changing. I think if you support and back us that raised the colours under that flag and banner, whether you're supporting it a little bit, a massive, like whether you're offering, you know, a little bit of your time or even just sharing or liking a post.

1:52:33I think we're us getting out there and showing the world and showing this country and this government that we want change and we're not happy with how the country is. I think that the government should listen and can listen. The bigger picture and the deeper picture is the councils and what the councils are doing and our government. But how do we get around that i don't know it's a massive vote isn't it but maybe these are coming in to vote you've been in the papers now as well they've targeted you that's what they try and do they're trying tarnish speaking about fraud and stuff is there anything you want to clean up with that yeah i had a company but thank you for giving me the opportunity you know because that goes on frauds you know i had a company 10 15 years ago um and i was doing personal injury claims for What was I doing then?

1:53:23I was doing claims in Spain for holiday sickness and it was the PPI and you know the claim culture and I was involved in that and basically I ran a small number of claims, I filed my accounts, we earned eight grand, papers put it at 40 million and you know more for you lefties for reading it and loving it and good luck, that's why I couldn't care less because it's not true. They said, I'm going to be going in court and going to jail for eight years and 10 years and 12 years. And all these mad things that the papers are making up. And it literally is what it says on the teenage paper talk. It's complete bullshit.

1:54:04I'm a real guy. I love my country. I'm proud. I love my family. But going back to these newspaper articles and stuff like that, I don't really care less. You know, do whatever you've got to do. I've not done anything wrong. um my accountant filed the paperwork back then and he we we done a video link to the spanish courts we sent them bank statements live of the of the company that was in in charge of it we showed them a holding statement to cut us final statements we showed them all the accounts forwarded everything to them we've heard nothing ever since so you know they're saying i'm going to be on trial and i'm part of a criminal gang in spain it's a load of rubbish i'm not part of any gang, I'm part of Raise the Colours, I'm a Birmingham City fan, I'm a family bloke, I pay my taxis, I pay my vats and I'm a nice normal guy from Birmingham and I want to stop the boats in a legal invasion.

1:54:54But sometimes when people are doing the right things, this is when they be targeted, this is when they be targeted, I get slaughtered in the press for that's going to come out when my side comes out then it'll be totally different and I expect a few apologies as well but right now I'm not a man who likes to hold my tongue but the good thing about when the press talks shut. It shows you who's with you and who's not as well. It does. You know, I don't mind sitting in silence for a year, two years, five years. Because when I fire back, I don't fucking miss. And that's the beautiful thing about me.

1:55:22I'm the nice big guy, but trust me, I can play chess. I can sit back and wait. Because when you're in that storm, you find out who wants to dance with you in the storm. And who wants to run away for cover and lock the door and not let you in. And there's many of them. But thankfully, I've got a lot of fucking support. A lot of people know me who I am. I've been doing this eight years. Never bent or broke. I was interviewing people when you couldn't interview people who were cancelled. I'd done it fucking, I wouldn't say I'd done it first, but I was one of the first to leave the blueprint. Now it's trendy to interview people who've been cancelled.

1:55:51I interviewed them at the start of it all, you know what I'm saying? And people just gave you hate. I'm used to it. But the thing about me, I don't bend or break. I'll be fucking strong and I'll always come out shining bright. So don't worry about the press. And even if you did make mistakes in the past, it's the past. Who fucking cares? None of us are saints. Fuck's sake, you were a football hooligan. Yeah, I know. That's my crime. That was my, you know, and if anything I do illegal, I've drove a bit fast a few times. And, you know, I've been to football and had the odd scrap. We like-minded people.

1:56:21I'm not a bully. I'm not, you know, that's my criminal activity. So if people want to say he's a fraudster, he's this, he's that, I really am not. And the proof's there. The paperwork's there. The police in England have investigated me. They've spoke to me about it. And there's no charges to answer. I've had a letter off the Home Office to say there's nothing to fear an extradition because my solicitor, I've got solicitors on it, it cost me an absolute fortune. I've got solicitors on it to say, am I going to get extradited? Have I got to go to Spain? Am I going to be in the shit? What have I done?

1:56:49I haven't done anything wrong. I've processed a handful of personal injury, of food poisoning claims, handset press. I was a middleman and I passed them to a law firm, the solicitors, and they were there to vet them. It's nothing to do with me. They just put me as the forefront and put me a target and a name and and he's had and they the actual the figures that they put was about the whole industry if you read that if you're actually clever enough to read it but like you say i've just kept my mouth shut it was nearly 10 years ago and it's just a load of rubbish and i think that's the best way i don't really keep my mouth shut and i'm still here just move on with that did you ever actually speak to any of the illegal immigrants did anyone ever speak on camera or befriend any you know they they're they're told not to speak and then they say no English.

1:57:32I mean, it's just mad. It's just mad what they're being told. And that's when they're being exploited as well. And I don't feel sorry for them because they're trying to come in and take the piss. And, you know, I've seen them at the hotels in England. They've got the all-inclusive and they're like, the plates are like, they can't carry the plate of food. And we've got that on camera. And, you know, and these, you know, crowbooth down the road, I'm leaving here now and I'm going straight there to that camp now. And apparently 540 of them are coming in tonight. and my very good friend, Liam. Tufsey, we're talking about Tufsey?

1:58:04Tufsey's been down there, but not Tufsey, there's another guy called Liam and he's been looking after the Krober. He's been doing the demos which Tufsey went to on a Sunday and they're on every Sunday at Krober about half ten. They're trying to stop. Krober's got 20 ,000 in that community and I'm not a demo guy. I'm not really one for marching. I like to get my boots on and go and get stuck in and get out there, but we're going to go down today and all the boys are going to go down and obviously this ain't going out so I can tell you the plan. We're going to try and hang our massive 20 by 20 meter flag saying raise the colours, stopping the boats and we're going to try and hang that over the gates of the barracks that are closed.

1:58:42We're going to try and flag the area for them, make them feel a bit more patriotic, make them feel like the country's backing them and we're going to go down there now under the cover of darkness and we're going to get that done throughout the night tonight because the weather's bad in France. I normally go to France sort of today or tomorrow and I'm not going to, we're not going to the weather's bad. We know there's going to be no crossings. So we're going to look at going back out to France next week. And tonight we're going to go there and we're going to support Liam and the guys. Liam got arrested last night at two o 'clock in the morning.

1:59:10He hasn't been charged. They've just given him a caution that he can't stay around. He's got to be so many yards away from the entrances. Now that's for one reason only, that's to stop him telling the likes of us and reporting what is going on there. There's gym equipment coming in, there's new beds, there's new sofas, there's new pots and pans. It's horrific what's going on. They're having brand new everything into this camp where Gurkhas lived there for over long. The army have lived there, but they're having brand new everything in there. And that's what I just think. It's just a farce. And I think the bigger fat cats behind the scenes are the people that get the contracts.

1:59:49Crowberries, they reckon it's from 170 a day where they are in the hotels now, down to 100 pounds a day still 54 000 pound a day going on crowbra so that that army barracks there where we're going to go to now when i leave here and go meet the boys we're going to go down there and support him he's got arrested they've seized his car said that he's threatened somebody um and he said i haven't he said i just said lads can you please not go in there and they said they're cleaners they jumped all out the back of a uh of an enterprise hired vehicle and they're all dressed in like operational tactical gear and they were security.

2:00:25So who is paying them security to our government? So our government are doing so, so, so much. These 500 illegal migrant men can go into that building because Liam's a good guy, works in the city. He ain't a guy that's going to go and, you know, be stopping women and children that are trying to seek asylum. I think it's a load of rubbish. So he's been told he can't go there. So we're going to go there tonight and we're going to go and stake it out for ourselves. and hopefully we can stop these guys coming in because I'm scared that these migrants now are going to move from the hotels. I'm scared that they're going to move from the army barracks and I'm scared that they are going to be in HMOs on the street next to you and me because I don't want to be on the phone to that girl that I was speaking to last week where she said I've got like seven Afghans living next door to me.

2:01:09They're migrants. They're talking foreign language. I don't know what's going on. They're not integrating. I've said hello. I don't know who they are. I'm scared to now take my daughter to the park. That can't happen in our country. Do you think it could be something more sinister where they're sending these young men as an invasion for when the button gets pressed for them just to go on major killings, please? It's another conspiracy, isn't it? But it's on the cards, isn't it? You know, it's a training camp, isn't it? These are men. Why 550 men going to Crowborough? Why is it men going to this small village out of the way, army barracks?

2:01:40There's 20 ,000 people in that town. So 550 men are going to be walking around the streets using the NHS, the park, they're not going to be going to the schools. Because I don't think anyone would be humane against, you know, kids going to a school or people from an unfortunate background doing that. These are men, why are they in them camps? And they're going to be walking around them streets. It's not happening. I think in Dundee or Falkirk. Dundee, yeah. I think they were putting them in schools and learning next to the kids. That's right, yeah. That's completely right. We've had a girl contact us from Dundee.

2:02:13And there's some stuff going on in Falkirk as well, yeah, that we've been contacted about there's a pack there's a story in the Scottish Sun today um about some migrants that's attempted to rape some girls and apparently Scotland's got the most it's just kept under wraps you know but there's a few boys doing their thing they are but um Alec um but it comes at a cost you know because they're all getting put in the papers now like they don't like you do step at the forefront and try and speak out it pisses someone off it doesn't make sense either somebody's making money from it or someone doesn't see the bigger picture they're too dumb to see what's going on you know yeah i mean i definitely think the hotels are to blame um do you think it's a money thing as well 100 percent from the government's must be making millions it's all money and backhanders i mean boris johnson's first week uh first two weeks trying to get into into his term when he come in he was flying with the union flag down the zip line he was playing football with kids his last two weeks was in ukraine why your last two weeks of term aren't you in your own country thanking everyone for your term and what you've done why was he in ukraine and now ukraine's gone out the news so i think there's a bigger story behind all of it i think that there's backhanders going on left right and center i think all these politicians that are there and they're about we've got one in birmingham um the old home secretary um you know uh and he was heavily involved and now he owns he owns a load of hmos in the birmingham area so we're going to be on his tail as well but uh we can't it's not just a birmingham thing if patriots in scotland need help we'll we'll go anywhere we're going to go to cobra tonight and we're going to go and help them and as soon as the as soon as the weather picks up we're going to be operation overlord is going to go into full swing with danny tomo and we're going to make sure that um we do our utmost to stop the illegal invasion of these unvetted men um where do you go forward for the future with it all yeah it's it's it's going to look like january we're going to plan we're going to use the next december january february as the as the months where the seas chop in they're not going to use the dinghies and boats and we're going to use them to plan what we're going to do going forward for the summer and we're going to stop this i reckon by this time next year hopefully you have me on and you say ryan well done then bloody boats stopped but they might move on to the next thing it was lorries wasn't it 10 years ago they're in lorries and then we give them all the money and we secured calais i spoke to people at calais and dover on the Euro Tunnel and they said they used to literally run down the tunnel and they'd just walk down the tunnel and I was like really?

2:04:46And they're like yeah and these are people that have recognised our face at the ports and they've told us the stories and you're like no it's just mad and the more people we speak to the more knowledge we get the bigger the team gets at Raise the Colours everyone's welcome if you love your country if you love your country and love what we're doing and you're against what our government's letting happen to our country and you don't want to feel fearful on the streets then come and join us everyone's welcome and we're going to. How can people join you? How can people get in contact? For anybody that's maybe scared of things that are happening in that area, like I say, you're not fucking police.

2:05:18You're not that. You try to do your best to help protect others from illegal immigration. But how can people get in contact? Ridesthecolours.org.uk and we're going to do a newsletter. Our first newsletter is going out this week and we're going to do consistent newsletters and we're going to do the emails in and out. We're going to have people. These are just normal people that we're going to meet and we're going to vet and see that they're not lefties and they're going to come in with our team and we're all going to help together and they're going to go, right, we'll answer emails, we'll help you and we're going to get bigger and bigger and bigger.

2:05:49This organisation we're backing we can make this work so we're going to try our best, Facebook, Instagram we're on all the channels and platforms we're not on the lefty ones, there's loads that copy us, there's loads that mimic us so raisethecolours.org.uk we've got a website site of interest, which is Operation Overlord 2, and that's.co.uk, and that's to register your interest. We're going to collect all our information together under Raise the Colors, and Raise the Colors is going to look next year to stop the illegal migration in full swing. We're going to stop every, we want to stop every single illegal migrant coming into the country illegally, and that's unvetted, and that will then in turn stop what's going on, the rapes, the murders, the killings in our country.

2:06:37I'm going to stop that. That's our plan. Ryan, listen, thank you for coming on today and telling your story. You're a friend. I wish you nothing but the best for the future, brother. And yeah, hopefully have you back on and we get some good results on making Britain a safer place. Thank you, brother. God bless you. Cheers. Thank you.
