King Charles INSULTS Victims of 7/7 London Bombing | The Police Have Failed: Peter Bleksley

32:44If I've been walking down that street. I need to time it, of course. Take cover. Choose the right moment. Make sure when they're at the peak of their backswing, as they go into their forward swing, that's the best time to rugby tackle and take them down. Remember, tuck your head in as you make that tackle in so that either end of the sledgehammer doesn't catch you. You know, take them to the ground, introduce them to the pavement, you fucker, you're nicked. Oh, my word. I so miss my Warren Carb when I see things like that. And Miss Smith & Wesson. I'm that old that I had a Smith & Wesson revolver.

33:18Good times. Yeah, yeah, they were. Good times and bad times, but many, many fond memories of working with great people and locking lots of bad people up. At least you could do your job properly to a certain extent back then. We could, we could. And the streets were safer. They weren't perfect, and policing will never be perfect because it's full of people, but the streets were safer, we were held in a high regard by the public, and criminals hated us. And guess what? We hated criminals. Now, you imagine a police officer walking into some fluffy, woke kind of policing environment these days and saying out loud, I hate criminals.

33:52Oh, excuse me, that's a non-crime hate incident. You can't go saying things like that. I don't know, but I fear something like that would happen. I bloody hate criminals. They're a nuisance. They're irritating. They cost us all money and insurance, or whatever way you want to look at it, or higher prices in the shops. They're violent. Whether they're a dirty, stinking paedophile or they're robbing a pawnbroker's with a sledgehammer, I hate them and everything in between. Policing has so lost its way. So, so lost its way. But funnily enough, Sir Andy Marsh, head of the College of Policing, which is basically a disgraced quango that should be booting in a touch as soon as possible, was in the media talking about getting tough.

34:46Maybe all these people in prominent positions now think that if they tell people they're hard and if they act tough, then things are going to get better. words are bloody from those kind of clowns are pointless you need action on the ground but of course and forgive me if this sounds like a bit of an history lesson but when they changed the police from a force to a service it wasn't just the name that changed it was actually policing that changed those clowns in charge saw themselves as a service and they have turned themselves in some kind of community service, where really what the public want is a police crime-fighting force.

35:32But you try telling that to the wokeerati that have got their talons so deep into policing and are making decisions that are wrong, wrong and wrong again. You try telling them clowns that. The respect that the police have clearly lost. Now, I'll give you an example. So you know that Bob Villain who was chanting death to the IDF at Glastonbury? Wanker. Total plonker. What an absolute plank of wood. But there's since been more footage that's emerged. He's on stage and he's shouting out to his entire audience, the whole crowd, the only good pig is a dead pig. For those listening that aren't old enough to remember what police used to be called back in the day, a derogatory term for a police officer was a pig.

36:17and you've got some guy who's got a responsibility to, I don't know, be a decent human being is chanting to his audience, the only good pig is a dead pig. How the fuck did we get here? Yeah, but, all right, I started policing in the 70s. I was called a lot worse, okay? But it's only words, isn't it, in a situation like that, okay? You know, calling. There was an important stated case back in the day that said, because somebody had been nicked for insulting words or behaviour or something and some dated legislation and took them to court. And the judge ruled that police officers can't be insulted, right?

36:56And I was fine with that. And we did get insulted, obviously, all the time by people who absolutely detested us. And you've got to remember there are elements of society that will always detest the police. Sadly, that's a far-growing percentage of society now and they have just cause for it, many people. you know so what he's just a twat just an absolute clown i don't care what he says about policing and police officers and as a once former member of the policing family i don't care mate because what is more important is what he said on stage about death to the idf calling for the death of people it would have given me huge pleasure as he steps off the stage to slip the handcuffs on and say you're Nick Powell in the back of the van, mind your head.

37:47Would that be for incitement? Well, it would be. The sergeant would be very irritated with me when I got him back to the police station, no doubt. He'd say, what have you nicked this rapper for? And I'd say, well, come on, sergeant, let's have a look through the statute book, shall we? Let's see if we can make something fit, which is probably exactly what the CPS are doing now, as they try to consider if he's committed any crime. He's just a complete idiot. I think we should all rejoice in the fact that his visa to enter America has been revoked. Yeah, I think his management have dropped him and his once fledgling career has probably ground to a halt.

38:31All right, he'll always find an audience of idiots. I mean, and look at the number of Palestine flags. that were being waved at Glastonbury. The irony of these idiots, these absolute idiots, who if they rewind their minds to October the 7th, 2023, Hamas attacked a music festival and you're waving Palestine flags at a music festival. The irony and the idiocy of those people is off the Richter scale. They're celebrating, enjoying freedoms, the like of which Hamas want to deny them. And then they're going on pro-Palestine marches and chanting despicable things, which I'm not going to repeat. These people are so stupid.

39:25It is beyond contemplation. Stick them on a plane. Let them go to Gaza. Let them join Hamas. Let them fight on behalf of that terrorist organisation and see how they get on. Since that wank stain was shouting death to the IDF, and also I just couldn't believe that I've not heard public disrespect or hatred towards the police like that in as long as I can remember. And I thought, well, how did it get to such a stage of disrespect where you can just say that to hundreds of thousands of people? But since then, I've seen street protests, actual death chants said out loud, and the police are just standing by doing nothing.

40:02Are they failing the public by that? Right. The Metropolitan Police are the biggest culprits here. And what happened when we started having the pro-Palestine marches, not long after October the 7th, the police appeased those people when they were calling for jihad. Do you remember? People were calling for jihad. Jihad is a call for holy war. Okay? That, to me, would seem to be a crime. But, of course, the Met came out with some nonsense, saying, well, jihad can have another meaning. And there is a meaning for it, which is something like perpetual striving against moral failings or something, right?

40:41That can be jihad. So you have jihad in your head, right? As you strive against moral failings, right? That's some kind of theological interpretation of what it can mean under Islam. But when you're on the streets and your face is kind of racked with hatred and you're chanting jihad, that's only war, mate. You are nicked. Mind your head. Okay? But of course, the Metropolitan Police appeased all of that from the river to the sea, from Jordan to the Mediterranean, right? Wiping out the Jewish state. That's what that chant means. Once again, what the Mets should have done. You nicked, pal. But they didn't.

41:28And they appeased them for weeks. And then they appeased them for months. And what happens when you appease people? You empower them. And that is what has happened. These clowns have become empowered. So then the signs got more revolting. The actions got more revolting. The chants got more revolting. And then they started spraying aeroplanes. and got themselves into a prescribed organisation, did Palestine action. And those other naive clowns on the streets of London, what was it, every other Saturday, and it's all going to pick up again. Their naivety is astounding. The appeasement and lack of action by the police was appalling.

42:16In recent weeks, the Met have been slightly more robust. We've seen the arrest figures nudging up. We've seen them actually arresting people at these marches, not in the numbers I perhaps would like, but I think one of the last ones had about 13 people actually nicked on the day. As a start? It's a start. You know, it's too little too late, but perhaps they can really grow a spine. Mark Rowley, you're in charge of that organisation. Grow a spine. You've allowed it to get out of control. This is what happens. when you appease people, when you do not clamp down robustly and lawfully on all this kind of crime.

42:59Look at the lawless high streets with shoplifting at record numbers. Look at the assaults on retail stuff. What is it, 800 a day? Assaults and violence and abuse towards them? We need Bobby's back on the beat, don't we? Well, there's an initiative just been announced by Yvette Cooper and the police chiefs that that's exactly what they're going to do. By way of bolstering neighbourhood policing, and they're going to focus on high streets, right? Okay. So what have so many of our high streets in decline got on them? Vape shops, barber shops, bookmakers, charity shops, that kind of stuff. We've witnessed the death of the high street in so many regards, and part of that, of course, it's an economic story.

43:47But part of it is because the police abandoned the streets. The last couple of decades, the last couple of generations of those in charge, the fluffy, the flaky, the wokey, the left-leaning, the university-educated clowns with all the scrambled eggs on their shoulders and the letters after their names. Right? They've let it become what it is. And, of course, they'll go, oh, it's not him again. And we had austerity. Yes, you did. But you could have fought against it a bit harder than you did. I actually debated with the chief constable live on air about austerity, right? And, of course, he was a sir.

44:30And I said, so what did you do when austerity was being imposed upon policing? How did you express your disquiet? What did you actually do? And do you know what La Plank said? He said, I wrote a letter. Oh! Oh, my word. You wrote a letter. Wow. How courageous. Wow. That's really going to change, isn't it? Frontline stuff. Did you march to number 10 Downing Street and where you film, banging on that freaking door, and I'll be here until you let me in, you're putting people at risk, the public at risk. You're losing the streets. You're creating a criminal's charter that in 2025 will come back to bite us all.

45:14And hasn't it just? Hasn't it just? No, but he's got his quill out. And there's a letter, you clown. See, that's what you get with those kind of establishment people in charge. And it's insane that I'm laughing because the whole thing has become such a fucking joke that if you don't laugh, you will just cry. So America and Iran, they're at each other's throats at the moment and it's put the whole West back on red alert, which is worrying. and I recently spoke to a guy that spent the first 13 years of his life living in Iran and he told me that schools, they are taught to hate Jews and hate Israel from the womb.

45:58And America and the West. Yeah, the whole of the West is now on red alert. So I suppose the question is, do you think it's now time that we arm the police? I went to Rome a couple of weeks ago with my wife on a city break. Wonderful, great time. Really lovely. Most, but not all, of the police out there were armed, and we saw police in just about every street we walked down. It was astonishing. So I did a bit of research. The population of Italy is about 10 million less than the UK. Okay, so not wildly different. Not wildly different. In the UK, across all law enforcement bodies, we've got about 147 ,000 people employed in that.

46:41In Italy, they've got 300 ,000. Right? Twice what we've got. And guess what they've got? Half the crime rate. Double the cops, half the crime rate. No coincidence there then, me old mucker. Right? Policing is, in many regards, a numbers game. It is. And as I say, many of them were armed, but not all. You'll find as many police officers wouldn't want to carry a gun anyway, and they'd leave. And let's face it, the police can't hold on to the cops they've got at the moment. People are resigning in record numbers. They are so fed up. Morale is on the floor. There's no support from management. They're concerned about the public perception.

47:25The workload for frontline cops is ridiculous and relentless. And in many other roles. And it's probably the best police that are resigning. Unfortunately, it is. You'd be surprised if you'd think it would be all the pups with one or two years going. A lot of them are experienced and they're just burnt out and they've had enough. In a state of shock and disbelief, I'd imagine. Yeah, and that is dangerous for us all and appalling and disheartening. Police leadership is very, very much to blame for it all. It's entirely to blame, if the truth be known. And it's a worry. I think if you said to the British frontline police, you've all got to be armed now, even more of them would go because they wouldn't want that scrutiny for when, in that split second, they squeeze the trigger.

48:14Having made a split-second decision, which is then examined in minute detail for years and years and years, and could lead to you standing in the old bailey in the dock, gripping the rail as a charge of murder, is read out to you. and even setting that aside thereafter there will be further investigations probably gross misconduct hearing like Martin Blake NX121 who shot Chris Cabber he's got a gross misconduct hearing coming up even having been acquitted in the blink of an eye unanimously by a jury at the Old Bailey and that is an outrage so we've still got all that hanging over him for years this happens for certain people I think they'll just go, nah, it's not worth it.

49:09Just not worth it. Police officers don't mind scrutiny. You know, they really don't. But it's got to be fair and it's got to be reasonable and it's got to be delivered within a very effective timescale. You can't leave people hanging on for years with uncertainty over their heads. It's appalling. No, agreed. You said the word murder. Yeah. So I want to find out about the makings of a murderer. Now, I'm fascinated about your past life. Yeah, you're a fountain of knowledge and always a joy to share the table with. I want to know all about The Makings of a Murderer or as much as you can tell me. You're very kind.

49:48Yes, in 2026, I'm going on a nationwide tour, I'm pleased to say, and probably come into a theatre or a performance space near you, wherever you might be. If you go to PeterBlexley.com, and my surname is spelt a bit unusually, so I'll just reiterate that if I may. PeterBlexley, B-L-E-K-S-L-E-Y.com. You can see the list of dates and you can just click on the buy tickets link. It is a true crime show like no other. And I'll tell you why if I may. In my career, I caught murderers. Some, not loads, but I had other specialisms. So I'll happily talk about the murders I solved. I also, rather more unusually, went undercover, of course, for a long time, and pretended to be a murderer.

50:45And people came to me when they wanted somebody bumped off. And it was my job then to gather enough evidence so they could be arrested and charged with conspiracy to murder. So that's my other sort of unique point. My third and rather unpalatable point about all of this is that I then became the subject of a murder plot myself. And when a confidential report was stolen, I had to be hurriedly parachuted into the witness protection programme, which meant I abandoned my life, abandoned my home, and had a pretty miserable time. So those three things, when all combined together, enabled me to tell a unique true crime story, together with other tales of working undercover.

51:28And there was plenty of humour. Don't worry. It's not all gloom and doom, right? There's going to be some humorous tales woven into it because sometimes things undercover didn't go right and were rather funny. That's the first half of the show, the first hour. Then there's a break. And then the second half of the show, for over 20 years, I've been hunting the killer of Alastair Wilson. Alastair Wilson was a 30-year-old father or two who was gunned down on his front doorstep on the 28th of November 2004 in Nairn in Scotland, in the Scottish Highlands. It's kind of had the tag attached to it called the doorstep murder.

52:09It's a fascinating crime. It's been the subject of documentaries. I wrote a book on it in 2018. And I can confidently say that outside of the police, I'm the best informed person about this crime. I am going to make some revelations, which will probably really cheese the police off. So be it. They'll be in the audience. They won't be able to resist getting a ticket because I'm doing dates in Scotland, of course. Yeah. They'll be there with their sneaky notepad and all that. Because I shall point out at the top of the show that to record the show actually is illegal, so you can't. So if they don't want to break the law, They'll have to pull out a notebook, won't they?

52:51Anybody with somebody with a notebook on their lap sitting next to you is from Police Scotland in all likelihood. Yeah, I'm very much looking forward to it. I'm flattered that I was approached by the promoter to do it. And I hope you'll come along and have a really enjoyable night and I'll be really thrilled and flattered to see you there. Well, I for one will most definitely be there. I'm also going to put the link to where people can directly buy their tickets from as well. because a lot of my subscribers are going to be big fans of yours anyway and they'll probably be delighted with that announcement.

53:23I certainly am. But let me ask you a few things about your undercover work. Is there one thing that you miss about working undercover that stands out more than anything else or are you glad to see the back of it? The buzz. The buzz of it, the thrill. Oh, my word. It was such a buzz. But, of course, you have to control that adrenaline. You have to harness it and there's a skill to it because if you let the adrenaline run away, you will act like you're a bit unhinged kind of thing and you'll be sussed out by the other side. The crooks will go, what is wrong with this bloke? So when the adrenaline is coursing through your veins and your heart is beating like a big bass drum, you have to harness all of that.

54:16It's brilliant because your peripherals are absolutely spot on. I could sit in a boozer, relax back there, right? Have a pint in front of me, maybe a short, maybe a vodka and tonic, whatever it is, maybe not drink, depending on the company of the criminals that I'm keeping, yeah? And they think they've got my entire attention. And yet I can tell you that a bloke looking about 20, He just came in hand in hand with a girlfriend. She looks about a similar age. She's got a pale pink skirt on some kind of floral top. He's wearing jeans and a Fred Perry. And I haven't moved my eyes from you, but I was bang on it.

55:00I know that the bog door is over there, and I've already been to the bog, and I've realised that I can't get out through the window because it's bolted shut or it's whatever. I can't get through that. No escape route. I've mapped out all my escape routes, defensive. I know whether I can lift this table, whether I can throw it or not, if need be. And I've done all those things while the people that I'm negotiating with are blissfully unaware that I've done any of it. And if it all comes on top and I think my life is in danger, then I've developed, whilst I've been talking to you, whilst I've been negotiating to buy an awful lot of drugs from you, I've also been developing my escape plan.

55:40I was going to ask you, how would the average Joe spot an undercover copper? Well, they shouldn't. No. If you're doing your job properly, they shouldn't. But some criminals are very savvy and they're probably just as cute as, not you necessarily because you're up there with the best of them. And some criminals are very paranoid. And they'll follow you to the bog and they'll stick you up against the wall and they'll search you for a wire. Some of them are very paranoid. with just cause because we were doing deals of such a size that when they got caught, they knew they were going to go to jail for a very long time and they didn't want to do that.

56:20So the whole plotting and planning of operations as to how we're going to take these people down, as to how we're going to draw the drugs out into a position whereby we can seize them, arrest the people, and I can probably escape, I'll be telling all the tales of that. in the show. Brilliant. With, you know, yeah, giving away stagecraft, but, you know. Can you share one of your most haunting memories of working undercover with me? The memory that would always be there is when the report got stolen and how that dramatically transformed my life and I had to go into the witness protection programme and then after two years of that and contributing to my own downfall in a particular way because I drank too much, you know, and I smoked too much and I conspiracy theorised too much.

57:08So all of that left a mark and led to me being in a lock-in psychiatric ward. So I think the most painful and haunting thing was being escorted up into that lock-in psychiatric ward, hearing those unbreachable doors closing behind me, knowing that I was so desperately, desperately unwell and thinking, this is purgatory. Am I ever going to get out of here? Always admire your honesty for that. And I think it's a great help to people that may find themselves in a similar position. So I've got that to look forward to. So has my subscribers. And who's your money on for the next PM? I wonder who the book his favourite is.

57:58I wonder if it's Nigel Farage. I wonder. I've met Nigel for hours a number of times. I've been on his show on GB News a few times. And whether people love him or loathe him, there is a hypnotic, inescapable charm about the man. And it's not forced and it's not contrived. And when you're talking to him, he actually makes you feel like you're the only person he's remotely interested in he's not one of those people you know celebrity or what it might be you know politician whoever it is and I've met a number of them in green rooms and that kind of stuff don't think I'll go out on a Saturday night for a pint I don't but they can be looking at you and you know they're glancing away looking for the next best chance who's more important that's coming into the room so that I can leave this oiki ex-police officer alone and go and speak to a knight of the realm.

58:57Oh, so-and-so's just come into the green room. You know what I mean, right? And I've come across a number of them, right? There's plenty of them about, right? But no, he just... And his grandad was a police officer. Ah, common ground. He's always telling me stories about his grandad, that kind of stuff. And I know he's not everybody's cup of tea, but it's quite remarkable his or his party's current standings in the opinion polls. I really don't know. They say a week's a long time in politics, isn't they? Four years as an attorney. Yeah, I know. If this lamentable government lasts another four years.

59:37What I do hear is that people in the know, and I'm not an economist and I'm not in the world of big business or anything like that, but I hear that there are deep, deep concerns amongst many well-informed people that they think the economy is going to absolutely crash and burn and that we might end up like we had to in the 1970s going to the International Monetary Fund, the IMF, to get them to bail out the country because we simply won't be able to borrow any more money to make the services work. Well, this is really important because, well, of course, that situation would be catastrophic, but look at the money we're wasting.

1:00:18Look at the money that we're spending on people that are in this country that shouldn't be. And we're talking about billions upon billions upon billions. And yet this country can't afford that and they're still doing it and they're doing nothing about it. Shame on the politicians, the previous government, this government. Deep, deep shame on them. They're failing us on so many levels. We mustn't forget that the Tories are responsible for Starmer being in power. If they'd done a decent job, that fucking maniac wouldn't be in the big chair. Exactly. How do we save Great Britain from ruin, Peter?

1:00:53We need a nation builder. And this feeds into your last question about who will be the next PM. And I know I didn't answer it categorically. I steered away because I've got your back. We need a nation builder. We really do need a nation builder. Whosoever that may be. Somebody who is determined. Somebody who is resolute. somebody who can unify enough people to get a significant majority, who has a healthy relationship with the truth, unlike certain people who have previously been prime ministers, who's got integrity, who is not afraid to say it how it is, and who really has an understanding of the everyday struggles of millions, the concerns of the moderate mainstream the hard work in who have done well and therefore should not be punished, taxed and penalised punitively and who can also move in the corridors of power and wealth and celebrity and fame.

1:02:07So somebody who can cross all strata of society and who can unify enough people to get a majority and who is honest, truthful and doesn't get into a bit of a state when a house they used to live in has its front door torched. Yeah, be the strong leader that we're so desperate to have. I asked Ben Habib, I said, are you streetwise? Because he's obviously formed his own political party. I said, be honest, are you streetwise? And he said, no, I would say I was naive. I said, thank you. See, that's the most honest answer I've ever heard from a politician. I think that's desperately needed as well.

1:02:45I think politicians need to be more honest. And if they're not expert in certain fields... Yeah, say it. Say it and get someone who is on board. I don't know. Yes. Yeah, totally. I've met Mr Habib as well. Nice guy. Again in Green Room. Lovely fellow. Really nice guy. Really lovely, charming, decent fellow, I'm sure. Yeah. My concern would be yet another party on the right of politics is that going to divide and dilute what might be a majority elsewhere? I don't know. Yeah, I asked him. I said to him, can everything be on the table? He said, yeah. I said, is this a revenge party to get back at Farage?

1:03:25Is it driven out of hatred for him? What are your thoughts on it, splitting the vote? And I admire the fact that he agreed to a no-holds-barred interview, and they are the questions that people want to know. Do we need another right-wing party? Do we need another movement that Rupert Lowe's put together? I hope that there somehow becomes a tremendous solution and we can all sleep safer in our beds at night. But my final question to you is, what's your final message to the masses? Please come to my show. Forgive me, but I'm going to say that, aren't I? Of course. Don't lose hope. Don't be silenced.

1:04:06Don't be an idiot. Don't break the law. pay your taxes and remember truth is a friend it's the lies that are the enemy words to live by those I'm going to put Peter's X link in the description and I'm going to put the direct link to purchase tickets for his tour I will be there one, two maybe even three of the occasions because I'm a fan of Peter and if you're as fond of Peter as I am give him a follow if you like the conversations we have here Remember to like and subscribe.
