We’re NOT Prepared: Afghan Veteran Warns Britain What’s Coming

26:52So I was drinking it. And I remember Kumbo, the African lad, great lad. So in the army, you've got like a no grassing rule. You can't grass. It's just like prison, I can imagine. You don't grass, no matter what it is. You never go to your superiors for grassing on anyone. Is that you could get away of drinking too frequently? Well, no, so you're just never grassing anything. So basically, you're that fit in the army, you could have a skimful of booze and you'd still smash out an eight-mile run, you know, because you're that fit. I know, yeah, it sounds brutal, doesn't it? And we used to call it, what was it, Madness Tuesdays, and we all used to get absolutely smashed.

27:33And the next day we'd have like a 12-mile boot run and all that. Everyone would get through it. But, yeah, I remember Cumbo threw me under, Well, not threw me under the bus, he'd done it rightly so. So I was drinking heavily. I was drinking neat bottles of vodka, getting to a litre and a half, two litres in. You're going to be a lot of Billy, isn't you? Yeah, it was a nightmare. And that time I didn't lock my door, so I'd fell and kind of collapsed with this bottle of vodka and a hot pot noodle, and it didn't bother me. And the combo come in, and he even said to me, he said, no, I'm not doing this, you know what I mean?

28:08And he actually said, you know what, I'm throwing him in. And then, yeah, I went on like A &A meetings and stuff like that. Didn't work. I mean, I just sat there with a load of like, I mean, I'm sure it works for some people. But it felt like I was just sat there with a load of people in denial who were still drinking. Yeah. You know what I mean? It was kind of, I think the best way for me to get over it was just a bit of grit. I had my son at the time as well. I was going to, I wasn't a great dad when I come back and stuff, very distant, you know. So did that guy damage you? It damaged everyone, you know, as much as you could say, I feel, well, I feel great now.

28:46I've got opportunities with work. I mean, but yeah, I think it damages everyone. I mean, that amount of chaos is, it's no good for anyone's brain. I don't know anyone that's come back from Afghan, fine. Not one person. And I've got a fair few friends, not one. And we can maybe move on later and down the line. But the lack of support I've seen has been frightening. When you come back from Afghan, should we say, for example, did you get much support? You get six weeks off with a load of money in your account, and then that's when you list. So there was a lad called Loey, well-documented again. Oof.

29:22So he got it in his head that his missus was cheating on him. She was eight months pregnant, and he went back to his house and stabbed her and the baby to death in it. They called it a blood rage. He stabbed her 38 times, and the blade actually snapped inside her. Fucking hell. Yeah, yeah. That was once he'd left Afghan. Yeah, they come back from Afghan, yeah. So he'd done the full stint. As soon as he got home, he murdered his wife. Yeah, murdered his wife and unborn baby. Cool. Do you think he was a psycho before Afghan? Or do you think Afghan turned into a psycho? Do you know what the strangest thing was?

29:53Like, Lowy was, like, Manchester lad, nice lad. You know, dead polite, good laugh. You just never would have seen it. So there was no signs of schizophrenia? No signs of nothing. I mean, you could be schizophrenic in Afghanistan. that because everyone's it's carnage it's chaos everyone's firing weapons and you know you're not sleeping you don't sleep at all i mean you'll get put in so i remember we'd done a massive operation and so basically this is how mad it is i mean our our platoon um we were like classed as sandbags we were put there as a distraction so the engineers could clear this part of the road so we got dropped in the middle of the night and it was horrendous because we got dropped, right, not realising the ground's boggy and we've got like a kilometre march up to this main compound and with all our kit, all our fighting gear and everything, it took ages and it dropped us about four o 'clock in the morning and because it took that long, all of a sudden, sun started coming up and then we're in the open.

30:56I was thinking, this is not a good place to be right now. So we had to kind of hot tail it to the compound As soon as you got in the compound, they got on the radio, you heard them saying the monsters have took the compound. And then as soon as we set up, because you'd always take the corners of the compound, you'd always set up your sentries and stuff. As soon as we got it, we'd just seen this tractor and it was just picking up loads of women and kids. And we were in the middle and there was just a load of compounds around and we just got hammered. And one of their tactics was just keep us awake.

31:26Keep you awake. Yeah, just keep us awake. Just firing EGLs, motors, a few pot shots. every now and then just to keep you awake. Literally you'd be going like three, four weeks without proper sleep. They shot down one of the helicopters that was dropping off the wall. We had to do fighting patrols to the wells. So it's like paper or scissors, who's gonna fill the flasks while everyone else is in all round defense. Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here from Mint Mobile. Now I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for$15 a month is back. so I thought it would be fun if we made$15 bills but it turns out that's very illegal so there goes my big idea for the commercial give it a try at mintmobile.com slash switch upfront payment of$45 for 3 months $90 for 6 months or$180 for 12 month plan required $15 per month equivalent taxes and fees extra initial plan term only greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy see terms who says Halloween only lasts one day with Wayfair one night of Halloween becomes a whole season at home From larger-than-life yard decor and moody lighting to festive accents for every room in the house, Wayfair has what you need to make Halloween feel like magic all in one place.

Wayfair, every style, every home. Let me go back to this guy that stabbed his wife and his unborn baby. So when you've spent eight months with a man like that where you saw no signs of psychopathy or schizophrenia, when the lads hear the news that I'm assuming at the time you all considered him a friend. Yeah, it's like bizarre. It's like you don't actually fully understand what's going on there. But here's the thing. I mean, this is because people may think this is a mad question.

33:17But when you see someone that you served with for eight months and you consider him a brother and you don't know that he's a total lunatic or a paranoid schizophrenic, and he goes back home, murders his wife and unborn baby with a knife, stabs her 38 times. When the lads get together and try and make sense of it, do you immediately think, what a fucking piece of shit? Or do you think, oh, I wonder what he was going through to do that? I think he's a piece of shit. Same. Yeah, yeah. Same, put that on record, total piece of shit. But can you see where I'm going with that? Do you think there could be some people there that would think to themselves, show any kind of sympathy towards the piece of shit?

33:55Could you show sympathy? I don't know. It's an 814p. I mean, you and me couldn't, but I'm just wondering if there's any lads out there that sort of felt a bit hard done by themselves and sort of rationalised what he'd done because of what he'd been through. Yeah. And thought, okay, well, he's not of sound mind. That's why he'd done it, rather than just like, nah. That's a line crossed dog. It's pretty brutal. But yeah, they may have been like. Some lads who are really close to him, yeah. I mean, who knows, because it affects everyone differently. Did you ever get murderous thoughts once you'd left?

34:27Not murderous thoughts, but angry. I used to drink a lot. I mean, but I was always with me, I loved being with me unit. I mean, you know, the boys would. I mean, the block was insane. I mean, the block was crazy. Can you imagine, like, so 30 lads all got back from Afghan. and they're all sat in this block, nothing to do. Everyone's bladdered. And when squaddies get drunk, it's not like a... I mean, it's weird shit going on. I remember Dean Winch. He was crazy. God, it's going to sound horrendous, this. But what he used to do when he was pissed was shit in his hands and throw it at everyone down the block.

35:10You know, stuff like that. Like a gorilla. Yeah. Like, yeah, you know what I mean? You know, like Danny Schultz always used to have a shit in the shower every time he got drunk and all that. And then the new lad would have to fucking clear it up. Yeah, it's horrendous. So you can make sense of someone shitting in their hands and throwing it, but stabbing the wife and the unborn baby, not so much. Yeah, I don't know. It's crazy. Some of the lads are great lads, some of them. You know, when you was with your team, did you feel completely safe, like you had everything covered and you had enough men to defend the country?

35:44How... Because you say when you come back, you felt bulletproof. When you was out there, did you feel bulletproof? When we come back, so basically we got told on a big scale, so we've not got enough men to go on tour. You've not got enough men? We haven't got enough men as a battalion, so we've not got enough men to go on tour and defend England as well. So you're going to be like a contingency battalion, and that means going down to the flood areas, putting sandbags out for floods and all that. I mean, like, I was never a camp soldier. I mean, I love the field. But how did that make you feel when the British Army are telling you we've not got enough men?

36:23It's not good. To a civilian, that sounds very frightening. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good at all. They've really dropped the clangor, really. They got rid of so many people and redundancies and they've just not made it a place where people want to go now. Is that because woke policies crept in? Woke policies come in as well. So I was lucky. I mean, like, when I was in, you know, I was getting punched in the face off sergeants. That's fine. If you dropped a clangor, boom. Well, now I've got lads at ICC telling me now that recruits can give them yellow cards. So that means if... Notice it. Yeah, so that's like...

37:01So a recruit can give a full screw a yellow card and then that yellow card then has to be, like... So then that recruit can't be bollocked for, like, 12 hours or whatever it is. Like, it's all mental health. But I'm telling you now, when rounds are landing at the feet, they need to be under some sort of stress. I mean, when you go and train, you do baronet training. Baronet training is rough. I mean, you've spent like six hours doing the locker perfect, like perfect, smiley faces on your socks and all your T-shirts up to like A4 piece of paper. And then all of a sudden, three o 'clock in the morning, full screen comes in, tips your locker upside down, calls you the cunt, and then says, make that locker again.

37:42and then at six o 'clock then you go out, do bernet training because they want you angry, they want you ready for bernet training. But yeah, I think the DEI has come into everything now, I really do. And not for the betterment of our country either. Absolutely not. I mean, you need to prep infantry for what shit's going to come. How could you be a woke soldier? How does that even work? I wouldn't have a clue how it worked. I mean, even when I was in, it was unacceptable. You might laugh at this. When I was in, so it's unacceptable to be gay in an infantry thing. It is. When I was in. Because you don't want to be different.

38:21You don't want to be that different guy. I'm not saying everyone's homophobic and out like that, but you don't want to be different to everyone else because you just stick out like a sore thumb. You'll get your fit ones, you'll get your strong ones, but you'll get your medium ones, but you don't. You don't want to be different. and I remember there was a lad I won't say his name but there was a lad and all the way through I swear to God right he was the campus bloke you've ever met in your life but because he denied being gay for so long and everyone used to rip him for it like show you because he denied it for so long like seven years even I turned around and said lads do you know I don't think he is because if he was he would have just said it by now and the day he signed off when I Facebook said I'm gay I was like, oh my God, I even stuck up for them.

39:09You know what I mean? I actually stuck up for them. So once you left the military, where did you, because by this stage, you're qualified up to the eyeballs, I'd imagine. You've seen and experienced stuff, lived it that would make most people's head spin. So where did you go from there once you left? It was funny, like, so when I left, so I thought to myself, I thought, right, what I'll do is I'll do construction because you kind of move into the kind of the banter side of things. You think, ah, the lads will be late. You can have a bit of banter and all that. I bet you missed the lads, didn't you, at the start?

39:37Yeah, massively, like, you know. And, you know, it's funny, like, it's just natural. I speak to a few of me good boys still. Like, you know, if I phoned up one of me boys and said, get the van, we're fucking on one, and it'll come down, like. But I speak to a few of the good lads, but you do lose contact with them. I remember being on construction, and one of the lads phoned me up, and he was already in Libya. And I was just looking down a hole. Was this on a building site? Yeah, on the building site while the digger's just digging. And he phoned me up and he said, what are you doing? I said, I'm just looking down a hole, mate.

40:10And he went, I'm not in Libya with me. And I was like, how do I get to Libya with you then? And then he told me, he said, do this course, do well. If you do well, you'll get an interview and then you'll be out. And I was like, tell you what, I'll have a go at that. Did you hate working on the building site? Oh, it was horrendous. It was, I mean, I didn't mind getting my hands dirty, didn't mind a bit of graft. What were you doing, labouring? Yeah, just labouring. I was up on that Runcorn Bridge and all that new one, yeah. It was concreting and it was tarmacking and curving. I used to be a hod carrier.

40:39I didn't really have a great deal of time to sit and think about anything other than how exhausting it was, hod carrying back in the day. No cranes, nothing lifting your pallet of bricks up. It was all from the ground, concrete blocks, bricks, muck, all day long. But I'd see a lot of people just sort of mooching about, looking at their feet, thinking, fucking hell, how come I'm doing all the work? But what I'm thinking is when you was on a building site and you haven't got bullets flying past your head, did you have time to get lost in your own head, in your own thoughts? Yeah, and a couple of times, like, you know, you'd sit there just like, I mean, like, you'd sit there just having your dinner and you'd just kind of zone out a bit.

41:17It's just like, you know, I used to speak to the lads about it and stuff like that, like give a couple of my good mates a call and that. But, yeah, it's just, you just kind of, I don't know, it's weird. you just kind of get going. I just wanted to ignore it and just get on with things. And one lad phoned me up crying. This is going to go against me, this myself, you know. Well, I think I'm just trying to do him a favour. He phoned me up crying, said he doesn't know what to do. You know, I can't get worse, I'm struggling. At the time, I just told him, I said, listen, I'll tell you what you need to do.

41:50He said, before you put this phone down, I said, stop being a little bitch and you just need to get on with it and get going. and then I put the phone down there. I didn't hear from him for ages and then he phoned me back and he said to me, he said, mate, I'm so glad that you said that to me. I needed that push. But I felt pretty bad for that. Sometimes though, man, tough love is the realest love. If you get someone sort of buying into that sense of reality as well, yeah, okay, I feel the same or, you know, let's dwell on it. It just gets worse. It just gets worse. You just affirm to yourself that you're miserable and unhappy and then I've lost friends that have ended up topping themselves.

42:31I've lost seven up to now, yeah, seven really good lads. What about the rate of suicide from soldiers? Oh, it's horrendous, isn't it? I mean, even back there, I've just come back from a rat there. So we had three people, three years. So two shots themselves in the head and the other one hung himself off the door. It doesn't get made the fuss of that it should do. Three years ago, I lost a mate of mine called Bomber and he hung himself and, well, he tried it twice. A new bomber. Did you? No, I don't know him, yeah. Well, I might as well put it out. I mean, he was good stuff. Yeah, brilliant. Bare knuckle boxer, big fella, lovely fella.

43:07All of his money for every fight went to charity. He didn't take a penny. So before he hung himself the second time, which took all the Valium and then done himself, he was working as a mercenary as well at the time, freelance soldier. the time before he told me this is how he was feeling i was like mate just let's get on some kind of health tip running exercise keep your mind busy positive affirmations and then he sent me a picture he said i tried to do it and i wasn't too sure if it was just a cry out for help or if he actually meant it and then he sent me a picture of a wooden banister with rope around it but the banister had snapped because it couldn't take his weight and he used these words and i'm hoping that these resonate with someone in case someone is actually, they've tried it and they've failed because you've got enough.

43:55And even a cry out for help means help, so fucking help them. But he used this word that will stick with me forever, Bomber. He said it was perfect. He said it was perfect, this whole set up to hang himself. And I thought that was harrowing. And then we all sort of come together to support him and help him out. But I think when someone's got it in their head, and then he was successful, wasn't he? Men's mental health, innit? It doesn't really get looked at, does it? I mean, like, you know, you get a Pride month. You know, where's the Mental Health Month? Yeah, where's the Lost Soldiers Month? You know what I mean?

44:28We get one day for remembrance and all that, but, you know. It's just one of them things we just deal with, don't we? We just got to get on with it. We're not going to start pissing and moaning about having days here. And how are you mentally? Me? And how have you been since? Because I'm assuming that you don't drink so much. No, no, I don't drink. I mean, it's in miss, really, when I drink. I mean, I can have a couple of bottles. Bottles of what? Yeah. Well, when I'm with a wife, like when I'm with a wife and I don't drink, I've made some doozies, man. Are you a live wire when you're pissed? Yeah.

45:08God. I've made some bad errors. Any really memorable ones that the audience might be interested in? Oh, I apologise. Chelsea. Yeah, so my wedding was an absolute disaster. Oh, now we're talking. This is podcast material. Yeah, it was. This is podcast material. It was really bad. You know, I'll never live it down to this day. Did you ruin the day? I think I did ruin the day. I got angry. One of the fellas who was there really annoyed me, and I kind of sin red. Went behind the bar, picked up a bottle of champagne, went to bash it over his head and then when a lad's grabbed it it was brutal then I went outside I was going to smash his car Was this before or after you'd done the speech?

45:58This was after this was after everything was going perfect yeah this was I'll never live that down How well did you know him? He was one of my brothers Yeah he was one of well not my brother family brother one of my one of my operating mates he was just a shocking drunk. How did he take it? I can't blame him. I mean, it's me. I can't blame him for everything. I mean, misunderstanding. I don't know. I don't know what happened. What was the misunderstanding? It was crazy, like, because we were just talking and all of a sudden he got on top of me because big fella, like, big lump, like 18 stones, a big lump.

46:44Obviously, Jiu-Jitsu, and that got me in a bit of risk control and literally pinned me, like, on the sofa. Like, I got right in my face. I think I just shit myself. You know what I mean? I'm picturing, like, you're feeling billeted on your wedding day. Yeah, I did, yeah. So I think that's what it is. Three of them off, run to the bar, went to grab a bottle of champagne. I mean, you'll never forget your wedding. Oh, mate. Nor he. I can't apologise enough for that. I really can't. What about the wife? Did you still manage to consummate the marriage that night? it was it was an ideal she loves me it wasn't good like it wasn't i'll never live that down i've always said to her i said we'll we'll have another one and we'll do it abroad somewhere nice we'll proper so she didn't fall for divorce the next morning to be honest she's had many reasons but she's she's she's she calls herself the war horse like you know she's great she's she's me rock she's great and plus got my little daughter as well she's brilliant like but after everything you'd seen in afghan you went back to libya yeah yeah after afghan you still thought i'll have some more of this what made you go back well it's funny because and how did it compare when you're a soldier like when you've been a soldier and then you come into and then you go into the construction you're urging to have a weapon in your hands again because you want that kind of like construction's all right i mean there's just no guns there yeah pretty much yeah and a yearn for the chaos like yeah but uh yeah so i finished my course and then first i started in basra and then left basra and then yeah went to work and this is a mercenary yeah yeah and how different over two i'm not gonna of lie to you now so this is this is my whole kind of spiel on cultures so there is good people in these countries but it is run badly I mean it's it's chaos I mean for instance in Basra I mean that I'd say that's going that are going back in time because there was a so they lowered the age back to nine.

48:56What, age of consent? Age of consent. They lowered it back. What was it? What was it? I'm sure it was 11 or 12. This happened 2025. I think it was May the 15th. So they lowered it and three women, you know, powerful women, said, we don't want this. And they put them in cages and set them on fire. So this is, this is what I mean about cultures. I mean, this was, and Libya, I mean, Libya's a wild west. Libya is just, it is militia everywhere. You know, you work with the militia groups. I mean, when you work there, you have to work with the militia groups because they do your vehicle kind of security moves.

49:40So they'll be on the gun trucks and stuff. We have the Janzo Knights at the time, yeah, and you'll be speaking to them at night. So you'll hear like an RPG go off. People are like, what was that, Mohammed? They'll be like, our wedding. It's not a wedding. because they're all fighting for land from each other. Right. You're in the middle of a kind of a militia war, basically. So Libya is equally as dangerous? Libya is insane. I mean, bringing Libyans to a civilised country is... Not going to work. It's not going to work. And this is through lived experience, you're saying? This is lived experience, this.

50:14Describe your average Libyan to me. Poor, desperate.

50:22They have to do crime to make money. But there's no one to rob. They either have to go join a militia or I feel sorry for the women. But women, women are brutalised. Really? Women are brutalised. I mean, it's not a good place for a woman. Did you witness anything like any fully grown men talking to really young children over there? I mean, when you're out, you're in and out. You're in and out. You don't hang around for long. I mean, like, if you're out in the cars, Unless you've got big bull bars on your cars. I mean, if you're stuck in traffic and you're stuck there for too long, you're just going to push your way out of it.

51:00Here's a question. Because you've got to act responsibly if they're civilians and they're not armed. And bear in mind you're in their country and the legal age of consent is nine. But we still know that that's beyond the pale, to say the very least. And if we was in the UK, if we saw a fully grown man talking to a nine-year-old on the street, he wouldn't be conscious for very long. If you was in Libya and you was, you know, bouncing around and you saw a fully grown man propositioning a 9, 10, 11-year-old, how would you have acted in that scenario? Within the law? Sadly, I mean, you're in a sticky place if you're starting getting involved in their culture.

51:41When there's only four you're out. I mean, a very sticky situation. You're not wanted there as it is. And these militia groups are brutal. They're brutal. What are we talking? Torture, beheadings? Torture, beheadings, whatever it is. I mean, they just want money. They'll kidnap you straight away and they'll just want money, money, money. Did you not feel scared out there? No, you've always had a longer pistol on you. And you've got your team as well. But they kind of... When you see you, they don't really want to mess around you. I mean, like, if you're getting shot at in Libya, it's usually in the crossfire of a kind of two gangs fighting as well.

52:19They'll just change targets and all. There's a nice shiny car there. But yeah, Libya, it's just militia everywhere. There's no law. So just summarise Libya for me and people watching and listening before I ask you about your community protection group. Just summarise Libya and then I want to move on to that because this is very interesting and commendable. Yeah, so basically Libya is run by militia groups. When we were there anyway, it was run by militias. And the strongest militia is the biggest militia. and what their militia groups do at night is they go around robbing and stealing from the local population.

52:55Robbing, stealing, raping, whatever it is they do. Because when we were there, the army got voted to come in and clear them out. But these militia groups, five of them, they were all fighting at the same time. But as soon as they heard that, they all got around the table and said, I tell you what, when the army come in, we'll get together and we'll team up and we'll fight them. So then it was just chaos. And what sort of money do you earn as a mercenary? Is it a day rate? Yeah, a day rate. It's probably about 280, 290. Which is more than the military, I'd imagine. Oh, way more. Oh, God. I'm not going to lie to you now.

53:33Is that the allure of the money? Money and the lifestyle is crazy. So people always say to me, oh, you know, when you're not home with your family and stuff and you never see them, but I'm not going to lie to you, when you're away, it actually creates a stronger bond. you know because you always have that missed feeling like do you know what I mean so I think it does relationships well it does for me anyway because I'm a bit of a handful yeah and your family probably never know if you're going to come back alive oh I know yeah me mum bless her like she just knows like because I've got moves to get up to Nigeria and stuff and that's going to be the man so you're still doing the freelance I've come away from that because this idea we've got and this plan we've got is going to be something the UK needs most.

54:24This is the Community Protection Group. This is it. This is Street Patrol stuff. We are going to host events, right? And at the moment, as you probably know, the confidence and the level of hope that our communities have got at the moment, because we're constantly getting slammed. Don't do this. Don't put that up. Don't do that. But every other community can thrive. So obviously what we've got as well, we've got a big problem with the boats. Let's be real here. I mean, we can't ignore it anymore. I mean, you know, all the crime stats are through the roof. It's official now women and girls are under attack.

55:02I mean, women and girls are our lifeblood. I mean, without women and girls, me and you wouldn't be sat in. So if there's any reason to do anything good for the UK, that's what it is. I mean, I've got tier one medics. I've got a full team right behind me on this. We are going to train and educate people on these events that we put out. We're going to educate them on what's actually happening. Now, I've spoke to a lawyer about this, and he's told me, he said, you can't do disinformation. So we're going to educate people on what's actually happening in the UK. Open source, and we're going to give tactical plans on how to deal with potential terrorist attacks or man running out of HMO with a knife and attacking people.

55:54We're going to show people self-defence. We're going to have self-defence stands. We're going to have first aid stands. We're going to have tactics with me, and we're going to run it like an exercise. And what we need is a community now. And this is the main thing. We need to come in together because we're kind of losing our kind of community spirit, not due to our own fault, but the UK is changing. We all know the UK is changing. When did rape become a normal, everyday thing? That's the most heinous of crimes, that and murder. And when did the person that condemns the rapist become the criminal.

56:35This is what I mean, yeah. That's fucking nuts. What are we doing? It's embarrassing. We need to, that's how we're going to do it. And when we do these events, it's going to bring communities together. And I've noticed this from the army. So how you create a strong bond is you put a group of people through arduous tasks. Some might be fit, some might not be fit, some might be clever, some might not be. But they can only finish these tasks as a group and as a team. So it's going to be boot camp style as well. It's going to be boot camp style, yeah. But they're going to be learning, they're going to be educating.

57:11And with learning and doing the training, it will automatically give them confidence because people don't know in this life what to do in the Terrace of SAC. We've even got a policeman on the books as well. Yeah, who's going to be leadership level? Who can we expect? So men like yourself that have served. So there's going to be me, there's going to be loads of operating lads, lads who have worked in Mogadishu, lads who have worked in Libya, lads who have worked in Afghan, lads who have worked in London. It's like a whole plethora of people. And they're all going to bring their own experiences to it.

57:47So we want people to understand that, yes, not all people are bad on the boat, but there is bad people on them boats. And we want people to understand the culture that comes with it. because we don't get told about the culture, do we? No, you explained it quite well when we were discussing Libya and the culture in Afghan as well. Afghanis, are they of similar ilk? So you've got different parts to Afghan, so this is what I never understood. I understand influencers doing their own thing, but when you've got the bloke influencers going over to Afghan saying it's safe, this is safe, that, it's not.

58:24It's not safe. And they're giving people a false kind of narrative there. If he went to Nadi Ali, he'd be dead that day. You know, once they found out they can't get any money for him, he'd be dead that day. And what would happen to his daughter if he went there that day? Oh, raped. He'd probably wouldn't even be murdered, just be raped. And these are the people coming in that are unvetted? This is what I don't understand. So I understand legal immigration. For a story, for instance, so when my daughter was born, she had suspected meningitis. And two Indian ladies looked after a 12-hour shift and a neonatal.

59:0312-hour shift, brilliant. They were fantastic. But they come over with documents. They come over with a skill, what we needed. How is it people are coming over on boats, throwing the documentation? The reason they throw that documentation away, right, is because they're either on a list for Interpol or Europol. Why would you throw your documentation away? No. Because you're up to summit. Throwing their phones in the water. Throwing their phones in the water because they know they get another one at the other end. Well, yeah, these are, I'm not saying at all, there might be a couple of good ones, but how can we differentiate as a country and keep our country safe by letting these people in?

59:43You can't. It's insane that the level of illegal migration has got to such a point where you're putting together a community patrol group that's going to be boot camp style to teach people how to respond to a terror attack or a knife attack. Yeah, this is where it boils down to. We've got two lines of defence, haven't we? So the government and the police. And when the police aren't doing what they're meant to be doing, I'm not saying they're all bad. I don't know, they're probably going to knock at the door now. I'm not saying they're all bad, but let's look in here. I mean, like, I work very closely with the pink ladies.

1:00:15They're brilliant. They've shown me some videos of them protesting that. The police are just paying them lip service. There's, like, people in wheelchairs and stuff like that. I just, you know, just sat there and the police are just stood there doing nothing. I thought that the community he was putting together was going to include street patrols as well. Oh, so it's going to be, I want to get everyone in on this. I want to bring every single man and his dog, because what we need to do is we need to. Some would call that vigilante work. I wouldn't, I'd call it God's work. Yeah. But you're going to get all the woke degenerates saying, you know, acting like vigilantes and they'll want to stomp that out.

1:00:50They can stomp what they want. I'm prepared for anything. I think we need, what we need at the moment is we need this coordinating properly. You know what I mean? We need to, like, help each other out. I mean, we can train people, no problem. You know, because some street patrols, I think they're doing great, great work. I mean, I'm late to the game. Some of them lads have been out there. I think this is when you know there's a problem in the UK. This is where you know people have lost hope in the police, when communities have to do it themselves. And has the protection group already been launched?

1:01:22Is it already underway? So it's me and Mike, your mate, we're sorting all that out, yeah. So we're looking at the first event going to be in August. Okay. So we've got Jiu-Jitsu guys. We've got an English boxing champion. They're going to do self-defence. Got myself for tactics. I'm going to bring a few of my boys. We've got T1 medics. They're going to take people for it. And what we're going to do is we're going to actually do like live exercises, kind of like dummy play exercises, like just in case, what would you do in this situation? Because people don't know. People have lived in like little peaceful villages and then all of a sudden there's an hotel park with 500 people and then problems come with it.

1:02:08And is there a website or an Instagram page or something that I can put in the description so people can find you? Community Protection Group it is, yeah. That's up and running. Okay, well, I'll put that in the description. So through your whole life experience, and how old are you, by the way? 38. 38 years on this planet. Seen and done a fair bit. A lot of it chaos, brutal violence. Are you optimistic or pessimistic about the future of this country? At the moment, pessimistic. What this country needs is strong political will. Now, me, my opinion on this is they want these boats to come. Because if you've got to think about it, I mean, So, for instance, the Marines were okay taking over a Russian ship in the Channel, but they're not okay taking rubber dingy.

1:02:59So that, to me, someone's making money, aren't they? That's how I see it. This is definitely a planned, an orchestrated invasion. This hasn't happened by accident. Oops, there's another 1 ,000 migrants. All clumsy, there's another 1 ,000. It's shocking. and it's shocking that there's people that still aren't shocked about it. People just need to wake up. This isn't, you know, this isn't like, you know, a big attack on, you know, the left or the right. I mean, this needs to be discussed. I mean, the stats are through the roof. Every single day I turn my phone on. I've got women phoning me up on my phone crying their eyes out because they can't leave their house at night.

1:03:39And 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. This show gives me a reason to laugh. Because they live by themselves with a dog, or they've got the daughter in the house, and they're walking out at night and there's just gangs of these people just hanging around the streets, you know, and these streets are like, you know, country lanes and stuff.

1:04:23They've never needed cameras there. They've never needed anything. So it's like a big need for change, really. I mean, it's becoming... There's certain places now my daughter couldn't go. I've got a stepdaughter, but she's now 17. I think if I had a daughter younger than that, are being a constant state of anxiety. Yeah, and this is her country. It's, you know, it's just getting thrown away. So, you know, this isn't a vigilante group. This is normal communities. We need a community back. You know, it's gone to the old days, you know, when you speak to your neighbour, but you don't speak to your next door but one.

1:05:01Everyone needs to be in now. You know, if every community speaks to each other, and let's just say there is two chaps just sat there in the park, everyone in the community knows about it. Yes. You know, everybody knows. Like, I used to, there used to be a place called Burton Woods. And it's a village. And, I mean, it don't matter who you are. I mean, if you're not known there, everyone knows you're there. It's like, we need kind of that. It's sad, really, in a way that we need that because we've never needed that. You know, it's like, so, for instance, I don't want my country to be unsafe for my daughter or anyone, anyone else's daughter.

1:05:41or wife or anything. It pains me when I hear of some woman who's been brutally raped or brutally attacked by some fellow who shouldn't be here. I mean, how many sacrifices does it take before this stops? And I'm the first to say, in fact, this is my go-to. We've got enough of our own homegrown scumbags that we need to deal with. And for as long as we've got these illegals committing these crimes, crimes from our own community are going to get overlooked because our eyes are elsewhere. Like, let us deal with our own scum first. In fact, just period, because that's a lifetime of management. So we could go on forever on this subject.

1:06:26I'm sure we can. So where can people find you as well? People that have watched and enjoyed what you've got to say, want to follow your journey. You've got some contact details. Send me on Instagram, Eddie Ellis, CPG, and Community Protection Group. Sound. I will put Eddie's details in the description if you want to give him a follow, see where the journey takes him. Like and subscribe to the channel, please, so we can keep bringing you these conversations, because you know that the mainstream, as soon as you mention illegal migration and putting a stop to the rape of our children, they just don't want to speak about it.

1:07:00where on this channel we most certainly will and we will not shy away from anything. And mate, I wish you all the luck in the world and this group, I'm going to get right behind. I'm going to plug it when you launch. This is when this interview will go out. So thank you for sharing it with me. Brilliant. Cheers, mate. Nice one.
