Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello, and welcome to Good Evening Britain, the Force for
Goods weekly show, coming to you live from our studios
here in the heart of the great British city of Glasgow,
with me your host, Alistair mcconachie. We are broadcasting on
all our digital platforms throughout the United Kingdom and across
(00:23):
the world. We're bringing you quality pro UK comment and
analysis every Wednesday from seven until eight pm on Facebook,
on YouTube, on Twitter, and tonight we're not broadcasting on
TikTok unfortunately because our mobile phone has run out of
(00:47):
battery and we have not been able to recharge it
in time for the program. And the reason for that
is because we have been out in action all day,
out in action all day, and we have been confronting,
we have been challenging, we have been dealing with John
(01:11):
Swinney's so called conference, so called summit on the quote
unquote far right in Scotland. He held it today in
Glasgow and we're going to be talking all about that
this evening and we've got some great photographs of our
(01:34):
event to also share with you tonight. So it's been
a busy day. It's been a busy day and it's
been a fun day and it's also been the twenty
third of April, which is Saint George's Day, the man
whose flag is behind me. So to all those those
(02:00):
who celebrate Saint George's Day, a happy Saint George's Day
to you from Scotland's premiere Pro UK campaigning organization. And
we do love the patron Saint's Day. And you know,
we were in town today obviously in George Square, just
(02:23):
around from George Square where John Swinney was holding his conference,
and we looked up at the flagstaff at the top
of the beautiful Glasgow City Chambers. And it's been a
long running policy of ours that if we were ever
in charge of Glasgow City Council, we would ensure that
(02:46):
Saint George's Day and Saint Patrick's Day and Saint David's
Day were celebrated or at least acknowledged by the flagpole
on on top of the City Chambers flying the flag
of that home nation. But alas, it did not occur
(03:11):
to anybody in the City Chambers to say or to
present emotion that on this day, the twenty third of April,
that the City Chambers should fly the flag of Saint George. Well,
they're pretty quick off the mark to fly one or
(03:32):
two other flags that shall remain nameless. So why don't
they fly the flag of Saint George on Saint George's Day,
the flag of Saint David on St David's Day, the
flag of Saint Patrick on Saint Patrick's Day? Because I
could tell you in my experience there is quite a
(03:52):
number of Irish people, there's quite a number of Welsh people,
and there's quite a number of English people who actually
live in Glasgow. So if we're all about being inclusive,
then wouldn't that be a good idea? I'm sorry, am
I the only person who's ever thought of that before?
Has that not literally occurred to anybody in the city chambers,
(04:18):
that that would be a good idea? That would be
a good idea. Why don't we fly the flag of
Saint George and Saint George's Day? Oh well, maybe one
of these days that will occur to the bright minds
in in our wonderful city chambers, to be so inclusive
(04:41):
and to be so diverse that they might actually bother
to acknowledge the patriot in Saint's Day. Or maybe I'm
missing something, you know, seriously, folks. Maybe to get up
to the top of to get up to the flagpole,
maybe that's a life threatening occupation. Maybe that's too hazardous.
(05:03):
I really don't know anything about that, but you would
have thought it wouldn't be too complicated, right anyway, it's
it's beyond them, and it's proven beyond them. In the
twenty six years that I have lived in this great
British city of Glasgow, they've never thought to acknowledge the
(05:24):
patron saint's days of any of the other parts of
our beautiful islands. Anyway, maybe someday that will change, and
maybe in the future we'll get people into into the
city chambers. Who'll go, Hey, I've got a good idea.
(05:46):
Why don't we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day? Why don't we
celebrate Saint David's Day? Why don't we celebrate Saint George's Day,
just in the same way that we always commemorate Saint
Andrew's Day. It's just a thought, guys, I'm just putting
it out there. It's for free, take it off if
(06:07):
it anyway. Anyway, it's been a great day to day,
really enjoyed it. What's going on in the comments Derek
Good Evening alistair in AFFG family. What a great day
for democracy. We showed Scotland and the rest of the
UK we have had enough, didn't we? Just one hundred
percent one hundred percent? Okay, Derek says, for those who
(06:33):
are complaining about the sound on our live feed this morning,
they might want to put their hands in their pockets
and give cash for audio equipment. Well that's a that's
a thought, that's a thought. But do you know we're
not CNN, we're not Sky Television, we're not BBC, we
are not even STV, right, we're not even STV okay,
(06:55):
So we don't have, unfortunately, satellites in the sky, we
don't have access to the sort of equipment that will
give good audio live and so it's always going to
be hit and miss as far as the audio on
our live broadcast is concerned. We do our best. We
(07:18):
do our best, and often our best is not good enough.
I'm aware of that. I'm aware of that, and we're
always struggling to try to do to try to do better. Auxanna,
nice to hear from you, says Evening. Well done for today.
You were interviewed by LBC. We were indeed interviewed by LBC.
(07:41):
Let me tell you about that auxanna that was a
carry on. Did you get or did anyone get footage
of inside the venue? We did not get inside the venue.
We did not get footage of inside the venue, although
there is footage official footage from the actual show on
the day the LBC woman, right, and I don't know
(08:05):
a name, and I don't want to mention any names.
I've got a suspicion, but I don't want to say
who it was in case I got it wrong. But
she was really a bit like, you know, not really
being in good faith, shall we say? And here's the thing, right,
I said to her, because I thought this is my
(08:27):
big point, Right, I goes, do you know what for
the last year for which we have official statistics? And
I even said to her. From the National Records of Scotland,
which released their details in October twenty twenty four, the
(08:47):
last statistics that they had was from June twenty two
to June twenty three, and in that twelve month period,
eighty three thousand people came into Scotland long term immigrants,
(09:08):
which means, according to the UN definition, people who are
to stay in Scotland for more than a year. Eighty
three thousand immigrants from outside of the United Kingdom came
into Scotland in the space of one year. That's gross.
If you take away those who left to go abroad,
(09:31):
it still works out at forty seven thousand. And she goes,
it s only forty seven thousand, that's not very many.
And he goes, well, forty seven thousand is literally almost
exactly the population of the city of Inverness. Are you
saying that a city of Inverness coming into Scotland each
(09:55):
year is not an issue? And we'd had a wee
bit of a back and forth on that, but it
occurred to me that she did not think that was
an issue. And so I'm at the stage where, Okay,
I think that adding a city of Inverness to Scotland
per year is a big issue. She doesn't think it's
(10:18):
a big issue. There's no common ground there. There's no
common ground. I think adding a population to Scotland equivalent
to the city of Inverness of fully grown men largely
is an issue. She doesn't think it's an issue. So
where can we meet? You know, where is the common
(10:44):
ground that we can meet? There it's like there's no
common ground and that that bothers me. That bothers me.
And I also pointed out like this is not forty
seven thousand babies in the sense like if it was babies,
then they're going to take eighty years to go through
(11:06):
the system, to grow up, to go to school, to
get NHS treatment, to find a job, to pay taxes,
to have a family, then eventually to retire and then
to die. No, this is like a ready made population
(11:27):
of fully grown adults boom implanted into the country. That's
a big issue for me. For me, a city of
ready grown adults implanted into Scotland equivalent net a city
the size of Inverness gross, a city the size of Paisley,
(11:49):
the fifth largest city in Scotland. You know, these are issues.
But if you don't think that's if you don't think
those numbers are relevant, then we have nothing to connect us.
We have nothing to agree upon. She thinks that's fine.
I don't think that's fine. I don't think that's sustainable.
(12:11):
I don't think it's possible, and I don't want it.
So that was the woman from LBC. Anyway, we have
had we did get we did get some publicity today.
Derek says, happy Saint George's Day. Alexanner thinks they'll fly
anything but the English flag in Britain. At the moment,
(12:33):
James says, anyone would think that anglophobia was rampant in
the Glasgow Council. Anthony, you did some great work today, Anthony,
You're a star. It was a great day. Indeed. Hi
to Derek from Armadale, James says, well, the LBC are
EU loving pro immigration, left wing gentlemen and gentle women.
(13:00):
I got called scum today. I got called scum. More
of that. In a moment, exile Viking says that he
missed this morning's gathering because he wasn't aware until two
hours later. Well, let me tell you something about that.
Exile Viking. John Swinney was so keen. He was so
keen to involve Scottish civic society, which is a phrase
(13:25):
that he totally loves, right. He loves the phrase Scottish
civic society or is it civil society, Scottish civil society whatever.
He loves that phrase because it just sounds so modern
and beautiful to his years. But what he means by
(13:48):
that is not people like you and I. It's people
that he pays to be sick of fans for him.
It's people who he pays that, as I said today,
suck off the teat of the Scottish executive, which is
(14:11):
to say, you and I, the taxpayers, the people who
the public sector, people who only have a job because
of John Swennee and because of the non governmental organizations
(14:32):
and charities that John Swinney and his crew fund. He
loves that element of Scottish civic society. He doesn't love
Scottish civic society embodied by Alistair mcconagiey are embodied by
(14:55):
the people who view this program are the people who
love the United Kingdom here in Scotland. He doesn't love
those elements of Scottish civil society. He just loves the
ones that he pays and who owe there everything to him.
(15:15):
He loves them and they're the ones that he will support,
and they're the ones that he invited to his quote
unquote summit today and goodness me, I mean we were
there at ten o'clock in the morning. We arrived up
(15:36):
there and apparently they the chosen members of Scottish civic
society had had already gone into the building. So we
missed them just by a few moments. And we've yet
to find out really who they were, and it would
(15:59):
be into seem to find out. And it's also notable
that they have not told us who they were. Like,
nobody said, yes, check it out, I've been invited to
John Swinney's great gathering. Nobody, if you notice on Facebook
in the run up to today or today, has said
(16:24):
I was there, check it out, here's my ticket. What
a cool guy I am. No. No, if they've been invited,
it's like something to be embarrassed about. They have not
mentioned it to the world, and that speaks volumes. And
we got out we've got an inkling of this about
(16:46):
a week ago. We're like, well, where's he going to
hold this? Can I get an invite? You know? And
suddenly we started making inquiries and we just met like
a brick wall of silence. In other words, this wasn't
something that people were bragging about. This wasn't the hottest
(17:09):
ticket in town. It was something that you're going to
get invited to, but you're going to have to keep
it quiet because we don't want people to know who's
there or who's gotten invite or where it is. So
(17:30):
he invited, he wanted to bring people together essentially, but
he didn't want to he didn't want to tell anybody
where it was or what was happening or anything like that.
So immediately we began to sniff and smell it out
(17:52):
and realize that something was not quite right here. So
we do have a picture of the top table of people,
and we'll just put the picture up here, and they're
(18:12):
from the far left. There you've got Nat king Cole, No, sorry,
not Nat king Cole, Alex Cole Hamilton. Last we heard,
he was the leader of the Liberal Democrats, all three
or four of them in the Scottish Parliament, and somehow
(18:33):
that that qualifies him to sit there. The Greens, they've
played a trick. They've got two leaders, so they have
got the Canadian presumably dual citizen woman Lorna Slater and
(18:54):
the Green goblin Patrick Harvey sitting besides item. Now, if
the Lib Dems had the wherewithal, they could have a
woman leader as well, so they could have had another
person on the panel. But they missed a trick there.
But the Greens have played that trick and they've been
(19:14):
allowed to get away with it, so they've got two representatives.
That's ridiculous, isn't it. Anyway? Next to the Green Goblin
is a woman that's launched on the scene right just recently.
She's called Rosanne Boyer Boyer Borr Boyer. I don't know
she's somebody from the Scottish Trade Unions Council enough said,
(19:40):
you know what you're going to hear from her without
knowing anymore. We've got slender man Swiney in the middle
to his left, unknown female. Literally nobody knows who that
female is. We asked around, nobody knew who that person was.
(20:03):
Could be a genuine NGO woman, or it could just
be an impostor way of literally no idea. I don't
think Anna Sarwar sitting next to her, by the look
on his face, knew who she was either. And he's
(20:25):
probably by the look in his face, he's thinking, who's
this woman on my right hand side? And is she
meant to be here? And as she related to a
Force for Good, we can say she's not a Force
for Good member. People have said, is she a secret
agent for a Force for Good? No, she's not. We's
(20:47):
literally don't know who she is either. She somehow managed
to get a pass onto the top table and she
sat there and nobody, nobody actually challenged her. Maybe in
time it will come out who that actually is. And
then next to a nas Sarwar is Ash Reagan, who
(21:12):
apparently is a member of the Scottish Parliament for a
relatively small party called Alba. In fact, I think she's
the only member of Alba in the Scottish Parliament and
she was because of that she was able to sit
at the top table. Okay, so that was in the
(21:34):
Merchant's House. And the Merchant's House is a well known
building architecturally that sits at the corner of West George
Street and George Square. And I know a person who
is a member of the Merchant's House because it's one
(21:56):
of these places you can become an official member of.
And apparently they're prostituting themselves now to the globalist establishment,
which is a great pity, it has to be said,
a well known Scottish and British institution which is selling
(22:16):
itself out to the globalists which currently misrule us. Looking
at some of our comments, Paul says greeting is from
Whitecliff's Country. Hope they're looking nice these days. Alan says,
(22:37):
anyone who doesn't see an issue here really has hell
bent on destruction, are incredibly naive and will absolutely regret
their stance once it's too late, and will no doubt
blame everyone else. Sounds a lot like the Scottish National Party.
Paul says, thank you for being the voice of sanity.
(22:59):
Thank you Paul for acknowledging that we are indeed the
voice of sanity. People who welcome debates his exile Viking
have nothing to hide. But if they're lying, they don't
want to discuss it, well they Sadly, John Swinney and
his crew did not want to discuss anything with us
(23:21):
this morning, that's for certain. Clive says, search the Clergy plan.
The Clergy plan, to our knowledge, is a theory that
some people want to flood Europe with non Europeans in
(23:44):
order to get rid of the Europeans. I don't know
if it's a plan or not, but it certainly sometimes
seems like that is de facto what's happening our LBC
women would go, well, what's wrong with that? Then? What's
wrong with that happening? Well, I'd rather it didn't happen
(24:09):
actually miss LBC reporter. But why not then, well, just
you know, I'd rather it didn't. I don't see any
reason why it should happen. You know, Yes, what a
rogues gallery that lot was. And they don't look very inspiring.
They look bored. I know they need they need people
(24:32):
like myself, Alastair McConnachie and other colleagues of mine on
that board. We would we would shake things up. We
totally would shake things up, but we would shake things
up to the point that the LBC lady and others
like her would literally have a mental breakdown because they
wouldn't be able to process it, and John Swinney wouldn't
(24:54):
be able to process it. And this is what I
was trying to get across, to the extent that I
was able to do so, not on the megaphone, but
also to anybody that I was speaking to today, was
that you know, people like John Swinney, they their head
space is in a different world. Okay, I thought John
(25:18):
Swinney was a lot older than me. Turns out he's
not a lot older than me. He's only like a
couple of years older than me. He looks fifteen years
older than me, but he's only a couple of years
older than me, and so his head space is I
used to think it was in a nineteen seventies student union.
It was actually probably in a nineteen eighties student union,
(25:42):
and where he didn't have to bother about, for example,
mass immigration or whatever, because that was just a few
people afric Caribbeans in London, didn't affect anybody, didn't even
affect London that much at that time, but it certainly
(26:03):
didn't have any other carryover effects into the rest of
the United Kingdom. But now that has totally changed, and
people here in Scotland are now literally seeing their little
Scottish areas changing literally before their eyes. And John Swinney
(26:29):
has no response to this, and don't hold out for
him being able to get a response to it. Now
we would like to think that he would be able
to respond to it, and he would be able to say,
in a perfectly kindly and reasonable and intelligently and logical way, hey,
let's just put the brakes on here, Let's just pump
the brakes a little bit. Okay, too much immigration, Let's
(26:52):
roll it back. We need to really cut back on
the work visas, the student visas, the family visas. We
need to get a grip on all of this nonsense
across the English Channel. We need to affirm the sovereignty
and the security and the sanctity of our British borders.
(27:12):
He needs to just do all that kind of stuff.
He could do that perfectly properly because he is the
First Minister of Scotland. That is his role. The very
least that we can expect as British citizens is that
our leaders understand the importance of our borders and that
(27:36):
they have proper borders. They have secure borders, they have
safe borders, they have sovereign borders. That's the very least
that we can expect that a politician would stand for.
But for some reason, well it's when we all know why.
At the end of the day, the idea of border
(27:56):
control has been taken out of the normal position that
it should fill in normal politics, which is a centrality too.
It's been pushed out to the fringies and it's been
pushed out to the fringes for various social historical reasons.
(28:18):
A lot of it related to the past and World
War two and right wing organizations. Back in World War Two,
they were all for borders, for Germany. If we're for
borders for Britain, we must be as bad as them.
That mentality completely nonsense, completely bonkers. Yet it has meant
that a central part of governance has been relegated to
(28:41):
the fringies because of because of World War two issues
essentially at the end of the day, and that has
corrupted our society. It's corrupted our politics, and it has
prevented our politicians from respecting the centrality of border controls
(29:06):
as simply a necessary part of political life. And we're
going to have to get to get back to understanding
border control as a centrality of political life. Well, it
shouldn't be that difficult at all, but it appears to
(29:26):
be too much for the John Swinneys of this world
to accept. And that's as it's not just a great pity,
but it's a great concern. It's a great concern. Exiled
Viking likes a green Goblin comment David's failures. They are
(29:48):
sitting in every seat, Paul says. What they need to
do the party's need of a woman leader, a male
leader and a trans woman leader, and that will give
them three leaders. Sitting at the summit. John McLean says
Swinny reminds me of the prison warder from the Showshank Redemption.
(30:09):
John says, why is that trade union personnel? Good question,
good question. She doesn't look like she's ever worked today
in her life either. I mean, she's probably been just
time served apprentice in the office for the last twenty years.
William McGinty gives some bad news. He says, I've a
(30:32):
labor source that told me that Starmer and Swinny are
close to making a deal about another referendum. Oh my goodness, William.
Let us hope that's fake news. But it wouldn't surprise me,
you know, it wouldn't surprise me the the labor people
are foolish enough to grant another referendum. The Tories were
(30:55):
foolish in the first place to do it in twenty fourteen,
but I could see labor being foolish enough as well
to do it. For example, if in twenty twenty six
next year, Swinney and the Greens and Alba together somehow
managed to forge a winning margin in some way, then
(31:22):
they could prevail upon Starmer to give them a second referendum.
I'd like to think that's unlikely. Firstly, that it would
be unlikely that they would forge a significant winning margin
next year. And secondly, I would like to think that
(31:44):
even if they did, I would like to think that
Starmer would turn them down. But the nature of politics
as we can never know from one day to the other.
And James is correct. He says he had that Swinny
had barred Reform UK from taking part in the gathering.
Well they had. They did indeed not invite Reform UK
(32:11):
because that wouldn't really have been appropriate for this particular meeting.
This meeting was held by Swinney in order to have
a go at Reform UK. Now I was not in
the meeting. I've not watched any of the speeches from
it yet, so I don't know the extent to which
that party was mentioned. What I do know is that
(32:34):
we arrived a few moments before Reform UK arrived, so
a force for good. We had about ten folk there
and we jumped into place across the road right outside
the entrance to Merchant's house with our very visible banners,
(32:55):
which will show you in a moment or two. And
the Reform people turned up and they were like, oh,
they've got the position. What do we do now? So
they stood across the road directly outside Queen Street station
and they lined up outside Queen Street Station. I was
(33:15):
about seven or eight of them, and they had these
banners saying, well not banners but little placards core ex
boards saying John Swiney is a democracy denier. And they
stood there and they got some photographs taken. And Thomas Kerr,
who is a Reform Party councilor on Glasgow City Council,
(33:40):
he spoke to the media, which included STV, LBC and Sky.
I think Sky was certainly STV and LBC anyway, and
so that was fine, but we actually got where Reform
(34:02):
wanted to be. But they didn't want to stand with us.
They didn't want to stand with our banners because our
banners were pretty outspoken, pretty pretty pretty outspoken. Let's let's
put up some pictures. Let's go through them. Now. There
we go, mass deportation now and Asylum frauds out. Love it.
(34:32):
They are condensed together. You can't get better than that,
my friend, Mass deportation now, Asylum Frauds Out. That's a
beautiful picture. That's going in a magazine, that's going in
a book. That one absolutely and oh oh, even more
(34:53):
asylum frauds out. That's two asylum frauds out flags and
a mass deportation now. I have to say, folks, this
is the first time that mass deportation now and asylum
frauds out has been seen on the streets anywhere in Scotland.
(35:14):
A first twenty third of eight pro twenty twenty five. Okay,
there you go. There's myself and our stilling activist right there.
And on the right there that's David Ballentine from Gorilla
TV who's always getting up to mischief. He's a good bloke.
(35:37):
He's a good bloke as well. The fellow on the
right with his camera, he's always at these events, David Ballentine.
Give him a follow. He's on Gorilla TV channel. There's
another one. There's another one. Excellent. Okay, there we are
(35:57):
mass deportation now. And when we say mass deportation we're
talking about illegals. That is to say people who are
in the country illegally, which is to say people who
have been deemed inadmissible asylum seekers, people who have been
deemed fraudulent asylum seekers, people who have breached their terms
(36:20):
of their visa, people who have overstayed their visa and
people who have committed crimes and are dual citizens and
can be deported, or are foreign citizens and can be deported.
So we're talking about mass deportation of illegals and criminals
(36:44):
who are eligible shall we say eligible for deportation. Okay,
there we are another two, our fantastic activists. Great work guys,
there you go. Can't get enough of that banner. Excellent Okay,
Asylum frauds out. That is such a good slogan, such
(37:10):
a good slogan. Okay. So those were our banners today
and our flags, and I want to say a very
big thank you to our sterling activists who come out
onto the streets. And you know what, we had a
(37:34):
very very good reception we had. I mean most, as
I always say, ninety five percent of the people in
the world are passive, so they're not going to say
or do anything. But there is obviously the five percent
who have an opinion on things and who will do something.
(37:55):
And so of the five percent who passed us today,
overwhelmingly it was nice work, mate, good stuff. Yeah, I
agree with you. Yeah, bet beep beat beep. Got a
few beat beeps as well from people passing and got
a beat beat from a bus driver as well, which
(38:15):
was always nice to see. And we only had one person, right,
we only had one angry, aggressive, ugly in his attitude person.
And this was somebody who worked ironically for a guess what,
(38:36):
a refugee charity, ironically in the same building as the
merchant's house. And he goes, I work for I work
two blah blah blah. For refugees are desiums seekers and
these are vulnerable people. And and see when they come
(38:58):
that vulnerable stuff, it's like, no, they're not vulnerable, mate.
And as soon as you cut them down like that,
as soon as you say, we're not listening to this
vulnerability angle, then they've got nothing to say. They have
nothing to say because they realize you're not falling for it.
You're not falling for it. And we point out that
these people that, as I always say, who come across
(39:21):
the English channel, these are people with agency, okay, These
are people who know what they're doing. These are people
with self determination. And you can congratulate them for that
in fact, but they're self determining individuals. They know what
they're doing. Don't try to make me feel sorry for them, Okay,
They've got their own life going on. Whatever's going on
(39:45):
in their life is not my concern. Okay, I'm concerned
to the extent. I'm concerned about things for people in
my purview in mile to World, my friends, my family
looking out wider, my neighbors, and the people here in Glasgow.
(40:08):
But I cannot be and should not be concerned for
everybody in the world. Emmanual Macron put it well. He
said something to the effect that we cannot embrace all
the misery of the world. We cannot embrace all the
(40:29):
misery of the world, because, believe me, every day there's
misery in the world. We can do our best to
alleviate it. Politically, we can ask our countries, our governments
to stop bombing the shit out of other countries. That
would certainly help, and I do encourage people to go
(40:49):
down that route as well, to encourage our governments to
be peaceful. But at the end of the day, we
cannot embrace all the misery of the world world, and
it's not for us. It cannot be for us to
embrace that and to make that our lives. So the
(41:11):
only person today in the time that we were out
for several hours, the only person who criticized us in
a very aggressive manner, I might add, was somebody who
literally worked for a refugee ngo. He's literally getting paid
by us, the British taxpayer, to do his job, because
(41:33):
these NGOs only exist on British taxpayers money. And he
looked he didn't even look like I mean, he's spoken,
he spoke with an English accent, but he looked like
a kind of foreigner of some description. So at the
end of the day, at the end of the day,
he he with a made up name as well, don't
(41:57):
tell me that was his real name, because he had
a little badge on anyway. That aside, that aside, that
was the that was the only aggression that we had.
And he lost his head pretty quickly. He lost his
head pretty quickly. But but and he lived in the
(42:17):
same but he worked in the same building. And interestingly,
he didn't he didn't get his mates to come out
and confront us either. You know, it's like, oh, they're
down there, we'll just we'll just hush up up here,
We'll not say anything. We'll just hide away, Which is
just as well, I suppose for for him, because we
(42:40):
on our megaphone would have told him very quickly where
he was going wrong. The specialist Sylvester Stallone film Happy
Saint George's Day, Happy Saint George's Day. To you. The
specialist Willie Brown says John Swine's eye of democracy is
(43:01):
banning a party, the reform party with the highest growing
support in the UK, from speaking on democracy road with purposes.
Do you know how many migrants, which is to say
asylum seekers are in a dem frees hotel. I don't know,
(43:22):
but the hotel will be fully booked out. If you
know what the hotel is, if you know where the
hotel is, if you know how many rooms it has,
then you can be certain that it will be at
least that number of people. Oxanner says the World Economic
Forum want a borderless Europe, and I do think that
(43:44):
there is a certain truth to the idea that our
politicians do follow things like the World Economic Forum. I'm
not saying that they're in charge. I don't think that
the WEF is in charge, but I do think that
they do set an agenda as it well that our
politicians tend to fit into. I think politicians, most of them,
have no real ideology and so they're looking to adopt ideologies.
(44:11):
So if somebody like the World Economic Forum comes along,
excuse me, if the World Economic Forum comes along with
already made ideology, then I think that politicians can just
adapt adopt it. I do think there is a part
of that. I don't think the WF is ultimately in
(44:32):
control though, and as Stephen points out, the mainstream political
parties have a band in the strict conceit of sovereignty.
Marjorie says that she read that Glasgow was in the
verge of a civil war because of all the immigration.
Is that true, And Marjorie, that's not true. There's not
(44:55):
that degree of there's not that degree of widespread concern.
What you have, what you always find, whether it's in
a town or a city or a country, is there's
hot spots of concern which and these hot spots are
very often just located in certain areas, and often they
(45:17):
don't really go beyond those areas. I have not heard
of any areas in Glasgow that are on the verge
of what might be called civil war. I do know
that generally speaking, there is a particular concern about the
levels of especially refugees who have begin being given housing.
(45:42):
Now I was asked about this today by somebody that
was interviewing me, in fact, was by the Gorilla TV man,
and he was asking me to explain why is it
that refugees appear to get to the top of the
house ladder before the native Brits. And this is the reason.
(46:06):
Let me explain why that this is. It's it's a
it's a bug in the system. As they say, it's
it's a problem with the way that the system works.
For example, say you're on the housing ladder. Say you're
presently in a home you're living with, say your mother
(46:27):
and father. You have got a roof over your head.
So the council has to consider that. However, take refugees
take a step back. Take an asylum seeker comes off
the boat at Dover, applies for asylum, goes through the system,
(46:50):
takes twelve months, they're living in a hotel courtesy of
you and I. They get granted refugee status. So somebody's
looked at their application. They've said, yes, he's got a
(47:11):
well founded fear of persecution, give him refugee status. What
that means is that when you get refugee status, you
get automatically on given that refugee status you get everything
(47:33):
that a British citizen would get, So you get automatic
right to social housing, automatic right to housing benefit, automatic
right to universal benefits, all those sorts of things. You
get that for five years. It's called refuge leave to
remain leave fancy word for permission to remain for five years.
(48:00):
You're now entitled to stay in the UK for five years.
After five years you can apply for indefinite leave to remain,
which you will get, and then after a year you
can apply for British citizenship. But the point is, as
soon as you get refugee status, you are given all
these benefits. However, what it also means is you have
(48:23):
to leave the hotel. So imagine that. Imagine you're an
asylum seeker off the boat from Syria or wherever. You
don't speak English, you've got very little skills, you're not
really culturally compatible. You have now got eight weeks eight
weeks to get out of the hotel and find accommodation,
(48:45):
and that's on you. And there are thousands of these
guys leaving hotels every month and they're going. You're just
left to your own devices, so you're going to anywhere.
Many are coming to Glasgow because Glasgow has a very welcoming,
(49:08):
inverted Comma's view of refugees. So you rock up in Glasgow,
you've left your hotel in Essex, You've come up on
the train to Glasgow. Give me a house. And so
the Glasgow City Council or whatever council is faced with
this guy and it's like, well, we either give this
guy a house or he lives under a bridge. So
(49:33):
what they do is they give this guy a house
or a flat because the alternative is literally him sleeping
on the streets. And so he gets right up there
on the housing ladder and you, who's been living with
your parents for the last ten years, you're just going
(49:54):
to have to keep living with your parents because at
least you've got a house, You've at least got a
roof over your head. Whereas this guy from Syria who's
now been given refugee status, he's either got to get
a flat from the council or he's living under a bridge.
So that's how the system ends up elevating these people
to the top of the housing list because it's literally
(50:17):
they have got nowhere else to go unless the council
gives them a house. That's the absurdity of our refugee
system right now. That's one of the reasons why we
should not we should not really be having this refugee system,
because it's it's we need to leave the UN Refugee
Convention and we we have to change all of that
(50:42):
in such a way that it is not it's not
defacto ballot, de facto prejudiced towards the refugees. The refugees
are always going to get to the top of the
housing ladder because the alternative if they don't get a
house is homelessness for them, Whereas the alternative for those
(51:02):
of us, the indigenous British who are looking for a
house of our own. You know, we're not generally speaking
in that sort of in that dichotomy. We're usually still
able to stay with our parents or wherever. Alan says.
We citizens get checked, scanned, verified when going on holiday,
(51:25):
no papers, no travel or access to countries. We should
just skip the cues and the bureaucracy and take a boat. Well,
sometimes it does seem to work out a lot easier
that way, Paul says swhen he wanted to talk about reform,
not to them. They didn't want anything to challenge their
(51:45):
fixed ideas. James likes the banners. Thank you, sir. Exile

Hello, and welcome to Good Evening Britain, the Force for
Goods weekly show, coming to you live from our studios
here in the heart of the great British city of Glasgow,
with me your host, Alistair mcconachie. We are broadcasting on
all our digital platforms throughout the United Kingdom and across
(00:23):
the world. We're bringing you quality pro UK comment and
analysis every Wednesday from seven until eight pm on Facebook,
on YouTube, on Twitter, and tonight we're not broadcasting on
TikTok unfortunately because our mobile phone has run out of
(00:47):
battery and we have not been able to recharge it
in time for the program. And the reason for that
is because we have been out in action all day,
out in action all day, and we have been confronting,
we have been challenging, we have been dealing with John
(01:11):
Swinney's so called conference, so called summit on the quote
unquote far right in Scotland. He held it today in
Glasgow and we're going to be talking all about that
this evening and we've got some great photographs of our
(01:34):
event to also share with you tonight. So it's been
a busy day. It's been a busy day and it's
been a fun day and it's also been the twenty
third of April, which is Saint George's Day, the man
whose flag is behind me. So to all those those
(02:00):
who celebrate Saint George's Day, a happy Saint George's Day
to you from Scotland's premiere Pro UK campaigning organization. And
we do love the patron Saint's Day. And you know,
we were in town today obviously in George Square, just
(02:23):
around from George Square where John Swinney was holding his conference,
and we looked up at the flagstaff at the top
of the beautiful Glasgow City Chambers. And it's been a
long running policy of ours that if we were ever
in charge of Glasgow City Council, we would ensure that
(02:46):
Saint George's Day and Saint Patrick's Day and Saint David's
Day were celebrated or at least acknowledged by the flagpole
on on top of the City Chambers flying the flag
of that home nation. But alas, it did not occur
(03:11):
to anybody in the City Chambers to say or to
present emotion that on this day, the twenty third of April,
that the City Chambers should fly the flag of Saint George. Well,
they're pretty quick off the mark to fly one or
(03:32):
two other flags that shall remain nameless. So why don't
they fly the flag of Saint George on Saint George's Day,
the flag of Saint David on St David's Day, the
flag of Saint Patrick on Saint Patrick's Day? Because I
could tell you in my experience there is quite a
(03:52):
number of Irish people, there's quite a number of Welsh people,
and there's quite a number of English people who actually
live in Glasgow. So if we're all about being inclusive,
then wouldn't that be a good idea? I'm sorry, am
I the only person who's ever thought of that before?
Has that not literally occurred to anybody in the city chambers,
(04:18):
that that would be a good idea? That would be
a good idea. Why don't we fly the flag of
Saint George and Saint George's Day? Oh well, maybe one
of these days that will occur to the bright minds
in in our wonderful city chambers, to be so inclusive
(04:41):
and to be so diverse that they might actually bother
to acknowledge the patriot in Saint's Day. Or maybe I'm
missing something, you know, seriously, folks. Maybe to get up
to the top of to get up to the flagpole,
maybe that's a life threatening occupation. Maybe that's too hazardous.
(05:03):
I really don't know anything about that, but you would
have thought it wouldn't be too complicated, right anyway, it's
it's beyond them, and it's proven beyond them. In the
twenty six years that I have lived in this great
British city of Glasgow, they've never thought to acknowledge the
(05:24):
patron saint's days of any of the other parts of
our beautiful islands. Anyway, maybe someday that will change, and
maybe in the future we'll get people into into the
city chambers. Who'll go, Hey, I've got a good idea.
(05:46):
Why don't we celebrate Saint Patrick's Day? Why don't we
celebrate Saint David's Day? Why don't we celebrate Saint George's Day,
just in the same way that we always commemorate Saint
Andrew's Day. It's just a thought, guys, I'm just putting
it out there. It's for free, take it off if
(06:07):
it anyway. Anyway, it's been a great day to day,
really enjoyed it. What's going on in the comments Derek
Good Evening alistair in AFFG family. What a great day
for democracy. We showed Scotland and the rest of the
UK we have had enough, didn't we? Just one hundred
percent one hundred percent? Okay, Derek says, for those who
(06:33):
are complaining about the sound on our live feed this morning,
they might want to put their hands in their pockets
and give cash for audio equipment. Well that's a that's
a thought, that's a thought. But do you know we're
not CNN, we're not Sky Television, we're not BBC, we
are not even STV, right, we're not even STV okay,
(06:55):
So we don't have, unfortunately, satellites in the sky, we
don't have access to the sort of equipment that will
give good audio live and so it's always going to
be hit and miss as far as the audio on
our live broadcast is concerned. We do our best. We
(07:18):
do our best, and often our best is not good enough.
I'm aware of that. I'm aware of that, and we're
always struggling to try to do to try to do better. Auxanna,
nice to hear from you, says Evening. Well done for today.
You were interviewed by LBC. We were indeed interviewed by LBC.
(07:41):
Let me tell you about that auxanna that was a
carry on. Did you get or did anyone get footage
of inside the venue? We did not get inside the venue.
We did not get footage of inside the venue, although
there is footage official footage from the actual show on
the day the LBC woman, right, and I don't know
(08:05):
a name, and I don't want to mention any names.
I've got a suspicion, but I don't want to say
who it was in case I got it wrong. But
she was really a bit like, you know, not really
being in good faith, shall we say? And here's the thing, right,
I said to her, because I thought this is my
(08:27):
big point, Right, I goes, do you know what for
the last year for which we have official statistics? And
I even said to her. From the National Records of Scotland,
which released their details in October twenty twenty four, the
(08:47):
last statistics that they had was from June twenty two
to June twenty three, and in that twelve month period,
eighty three thousand people came into Scotland long term immigrants,
(09:08):
which means, according to the UN definition, people who are
to stay in Scotland for more than a year. Eighty
three thousand immigrants from outside of the United Kingdom came
into Scotland in the space of one year. That's gross.
If you take away those who left to go abroad,
(09:31):
it still works out at forty seven thousand. And she goes,
it s only forty seven thousand, that's not very many.
And he goes, well, forty seven thousand is literally almost
exactly the population of the city of Inverness. Are you
saying that a city of Inverness coming into Scotland each
(09:55):
year is not an issue? And we'd had a wee
bit of a back and forth on that, but it
occurred to me that she did not think that was
an issue. And so I'm at the stage where, Okay,
I think that adding a city of Inverness to Scotland
per year is a big issue. She doesn't think it's
(10:18):
a big issue. There's no common ground there. There's no
common ground. I think adding a population to Scotland equivalent
to the city of Inverness of fully grown men largely
is an issue. She doesn't think it's an issue. So
where can we meet? You know, where is the common
(10:44):
ground that we can meet? There it's like there's no
common ground and that that bothers me. That bothers me.
And I also pointed out like this is not forty
seven thousand babies in the sense like if it was babies,
then they're going to take eighty years to go through
(11:06):
the system, to grow up, to go to school, to
get NHS treatment, to find a job, to pay taxes,
to have a family, then eventually to retire and then
to die. No, this is like a ready made population
(11:27):
of fully grown adults boom implanted into the country. That's
a big issue for me. For me, a city of
ready grown adults implanted into Scotland equivalent net a city
the size of Inverness gross, a city the size of Paisley,
(11:49):
the fifth largest city in Scotland. You know, these are issues.
But if you don't think that's if you don't think
those numbers are relevant, then we have nothing to connect us.
We have nothing to agree upon. She thinks that's fine.
I don't think that's fine. I don't think that's sustainable.
(12:11):
I don't think it's possible, and I don't want it.
So that was the woman from LBC. Anyway, we have
had we did get we did get some publicity today.
Derek says, happy Saint George's Day. Alexanner thinks they'll fly
anything but the English flag in Britain. At the moment,
(12:33):
James says, anyone would think that anglophobia was rampant in
the Glasgow Council. Anthony, you did some great work today, Anthony,
You're a star. It was a great day. Indeed. Hi
to Derek from Armadale, James says, well, the LBC are
EU loving pro immigration, left wing gentlemen and gentle women.
(13:00):
I got called scum today. I got called scum. More
of that. In a moment, exile Viking says that he
missed this morning's gathering because he wasn't aware until two
hours later. Well, let me tell you something about that.
Exile Viking. John Swinney was so keen. He was so
keen to involve Scottish civic society, which is a phrase
(13:25):
that he totally loves, right. He loves the phrase Scottish
civic society or is it civil society, Scottish civil society whatever.
He loves that phrase because it just sounds so modern
and beautiful to his years. But what he means by
(13:48):
that is not people like you and I. It's people
that he pays to be sick of fans for him.
It's people who he pays that, as I said today,
suck off the teat of the Scottish executive, which is
(14:11):
to say, you and I, the taxpayers, the people who
the public sector, people who only have a job because
of John Swennee and because of the non governmental organizations
(14:32):
and charities that John Swinney and his crew fund. He
loves that element of Scottish civic society. He doesn't love
Scottish civic society embodied by Alistair mcconagiey are embodied by
(14:55):
the people who view this program are the people who
love the United Kingdom here in Scotland. He doesn't love
those elements of Scottish civil society. He just loves the
ones that he pays and who owe there everything to him.
(15:15):
He loves them and they're the ones that he will support,
and they're the ones that he invited to his quote
unquote summit today and goodness me, I mean we were
there at ten o'clock in the morning. We arrived up
(15:36):
there and apparently they the chosen members of Scottish civic
society had had already gone into the building. So we
missed them just by a few moments. And we've yet
to find out really who they were, and it would
(15:59):
be into seem to find out. And it's also notable
that they have not told us who they were. Like,
nobody said, yes, check it out, I've been invited to
John Swinney's great gathering. Nobody, if you notice on Facebook
in the run up to today or today, has said
(16:24):
I was there, check it out, here's my ticket. What
a cool guy I am. No. No, if they've been invited,
it's like something to be embarrassed about. They have not
mentioned it to the world, and that speaks volumes. And
we got out we've got an inkling of this about
(16:46):
a week ago. We're like, well, where's he going to
hold this? Can I get an invite? You know? And
suddenly we started making inquiries and we just met like
a brick wall of silence. In other words, this wasn't
something that people were bragging about. This wasn't the hottest
(17:09):
ticket in town. It was something that you're going to
get invited to, but you're going to have to keep
it quiet because we don't want people to know who's
there or who's gotten invite or where it is. So
(17:30):
he invited, he wanted to bring people together essentially, but
he didn't want to he didn't want to tell anybody
where it was or what was happening or anything like that.
So immediately we began to sniff and smell it out
(17:52):
and realize that something was not quite right here. So
we do have a picture of the top table of people,
and we'll just put the picture up here, and they're
(18:12):
from the far left. There you've got Nat king Cole, No, sorry,
not Nat king Cole, Alex Cole Hamilton. Last we heard,
he was the leader of the Liberal Democrats, all three
or four of them in the Scottish Parliament, and somehow
(18:33):
that that qualifies him to sit there. The Greens, they've
played a trick. They've got two leaders, so they have
got the Canadian presumably dual citizen woman Lorna Slater and
(18:54):
the Green goblin Patrick Harvey sitting besides item. Now, if
the Lib Dems had the wherewithal, they could have a
woman leader as well, so they could have had another
person on the panel. But they missed a trick there.
But the Greens have played that trick and they've been
(19:14):
allowed to get away with it, so they've got two representatives.
That's ridiculous, isn't it. Anyway? Next to the Green Goblin
is a woman that's launched on the scene right just recently.
She's called Rosanne Boyer Boyer Borr Boyer. I don't know
she's somebody from the Scottish Trade Unions Council enough said,
(19:40):
you know what you're going to hear from her without
knowing anymore. We've got slender man Swiney in the middle
to his left, unknown female. Literally nobody knows who that
female is. We asked around, nobody knew who that person was.
(20:03):
Could be a genuine NGO woman, or it could just
be an impostor way of literally no idea. I don't
think Anna Sarwar sitting next to her, by the look
on his face, knew who she was either. And he's
(20:25):
probably by the look in his face, he's thinking, who's
this woman on my right hand side? And is she
meant to be here? And as she related to a
Force for Good, we can say she's not a Force
for Good member. People have said, is she a secret
agent for a Force for Good? No, she's not. We's
(20:47):
literally don't know who she is either. She somehow managed
to get a pass onto the top table and she
sat there and nobody, nobody actually challenged her. Maybe in
time it will come out who that actually is. And
then next to a nas Sarwar is Ash Reagan, who
(21:12):
apparently is a member of the Scottish Parliament for a
relatively small party called Alba. In fact, I think she's
the only member of Alba in the Scottish Parliament and
she was because of that she was able to sit
at the top table. Okay, so that was in the
(21:34):
Merchant's House. And the Merchant's House is a well known
building architecturally that sits at the corner of West George
Street and George Square. And I know a person who
is a member of the Merchant's House because it's one
(21:56):
of these places you can become an official member of.
And apparently they're prostituting themselves now to the globalist establishment,
which is a great pity, it has to be said,
a well known Scottish and British institution which is selling
(22:16):
itself out to the globalists which currently misrule us. Looking
at some of our comments, Paul says greeting is from
Whitecliff's Country. Hope they're looking nice these days. Alan says,
(22:37):
anyone who doesn't see an issue here really has hell
bent on destruction, are incredibly naive and will absolutely regret
their stance once it's too late, and will no doubt
blame everyone else. Sounds a lot like the Scottish National Party.
Paul says, thank you for being the voice of sanity.
(22:59):
Thank you Paul for acknowledging that we are indeed the
voice of sanity. People who welcome debates his exile Viking
have nothing to hide. But if they're lying, they don't
want to discuss it, well they Sadly, John Swinney and
his crew did not want to discuss anything with us
(23:21):
this morning, that's for certain. Clive says, search the Clergy plan.
The Clergy plan, to our knowledge, is a theory that
some people want to flood Europe with non Europeans in
(23:44):
order to get rid of the Europeans. I don't know
if it's a plan or not, but it certainly sometimes
seems like that is de facto what's happening our LBC
women would go, well, what's wrong with that? Then? What's
wrong with that happening? Well, I'd rather it didn't happen
(24:09):
actually miss LBC reporter. But why not then, well, just
you know, I'd rather it didn't. I don't see any
reason why it should happen. You know, Yes, what a
rogues gallery that lot was. And they don't look very inspiring.
They look bored. I know they need they need people
(24:32):
like myself, Alastair McConnachie and other colleagues of mine on
that board. We would we would shake things up. We
totally would shake things up, but we would shake things
up to the point that the LBC lady and others
like her would literally have a mental breakdown because they
wouldn't be able to process it, and John Swinney wouldn't
(24:54):
be able to process it. And this is what I
was trying to get across, to the extent that I
was able to do so, not on the megaphone, but
also to anybody that I was speaking to today, was
that you know, people like John Swinney, they their head
space is in a different world. Okay, I thought John
(25:18):
Swinney was a lot older than me. Turns out he's
not a lot older than me. He's only like a
couple of years older than me. He looks fifteen years
older than me, but he's only a couple of years
older than me, and so his head space is I
used to think it was in a nineteen seventies student union.
It was actually probably in a nineteen eighties student union,
(25:42):
and where he didn't have to bother about, for example,
mass immigration or whatever, because that was just a few
people afric Caribbeans in London, didn't affect anybody, didn't even
affect London that much at that time, but it certainly
(26:03):
didn't have any other carryover effects into the rest of
the United Kingdom. But now that has totally changed, and
people here in Scotland are now literally seeing their little
Scottish areas changing literally before their eyes. And John Swinney
(26:29):
has no response to this, and don't hold out for
him being able to get a response to it. Now
we would like to think that he would be able
to respond to it, and he would be able to say,
in a perfectly kindly and reasonable and intelligently and logical way, hey,
let's just put the brakes on here, Let's just pump
the brakes a little bit. Okay, too much immigration, Let's
(26:52):
roll it back. We need to really cut back on
the work visas, the student visas, the family visas. We
need to get a grip on all of this nonsense
across the English Channel. We need to affirm the sovereignty
and the security and the sanctity of our British borders.
(27:12):
He needs to just do all that kind of stuff.
He could do that perfectly properly because he is the
First Minister of Scotland. That is his role. The very
least that we can expect as British citizens is that
our leaders understand the importance of our borders and that
(27:36):
they have proper borders. They have secure borders, they have
safe borders, they have sovereign borders. That's the very least
that we can expect that a politician would stand for.
But for some reason, well it's when we all know why.
At the end of the day, the idea of border
(27:56):
control has been taken out of the normal position that
it should fill in normal politics, which is a centrality too.
It's been pushed out to the fringies and it's been
pushed out to the fringes for various social historical reasons.
(28:18):
A lot of it related to the past and World
War two and right wing organizations. Back in World War Two,
they were all for borders, for Germany. If we're for
borders for Britain, we must be as bad as them.
That mentality completely nonsense, completely bonkers. Yet it has meant
that a central part of governance has been relegated to
(28:41):
the fringies because of because of World War two issues
essentially at the end of the day, and that has
corrupted our society. It's corrupted our politics, and it has
prevented our politicians from respecting the centrality of border controls
(29:06):
as simply a necessary part of political life. And we're
going to have to get to get back to understanding
border control as a centrality of political life. Well, it
shouldn't be that difficult at all, but it appears to
(29:26):
be too much for the John Swinneys of this world
to accept. And that's as it's not just a great pity,
but it's a great concern. It's a great concern. Exiled
Viking likes a green Goblin comment David's failures. They are
(29:48):
sitting in every seat, Paul says. What they need to
do the party's need of a woman leader, a male
leader and a trans woman leader, and that will give
them three leaders. Sitting at the summit. John McLean says
Swinny reminds me of the prison warder from the Showshank Redemption.
(30:09):
John says, why is that trade union personnel? Good question,
good question. She doesn't look like she's ever worked today
in her life either. I mean, she's probably been just
time served apprentice in the office for the last twenty years.
William McGinty gives some bad news. He says, I've a
(30:32):
labor source that told me that Starmer and Swinny are
close to making a deal about another referendum. Oh my goodness, William.
Let us hope that's fake news. But it wouldn't surprise me,
you know, it wouldn't surprise me the the labor people
are foolish enough to grant another referendum. The Tories were
(30:55):
foolish in the first place to do it in twenty fourteen,
but I could see labor being foolish enough as well
to do it. For example, if in twenty twenty six
next year, Swinney and the Greens and Alba together somehow
managed to forge a winning margin in some way, then
(31:22):
they could prevail upon Starmer to give them a second referendum.
I'd like to think that's unlikely. Firstly, that it would
be unlikely that they would forge a significant winning margin
next year. And secondly, I would like to think that
(31:44):
even if they did, I would like to think that
Starmer would turn them down. But the nature of politics
as we can never know from one day to the other.
And James is correct. He says he had that Swinny
had barred Reform UK from taking part in the gathering.
Well they had. They did indeed not invite Reform UK
(32:11):
because that wouldn't really have been appropriate for this particular meeting.
This meeting was held by Swinney in order to have
a go at Reform UK. Now I was not in
the meeting. I've not watched any of the speeches from
it yet, so I don't know the extent to which
that party was mentioned. What I do know is that
(32:34):
we arrived a few moments before Reform UK arrived, so
a force for good. We had about ten folk there
and we jumped into place across the road right outside
the entrance to Merchant's house with our very visible banners,
(32:55):
which will show you in a moment or two. And
the Reform people turned up and they were like, oh,
they've got the position. What do we do now? So
they stood across the road directly outside Queen Street station
and they lined up outside Queen Street Station. I was
(33:15):
about seven or eight of them, and they had these
banners saying, well not banners but little placards core ex
boards saying John Swiney is a democracy denier. And they
stood there and they got some photographs taken. And Thomas Kerr,
who is a Reform Party councilor on Glasgow City Council,
(33:40):
he spoke to the media, which included STV, LBC and Sky.
I think Sky was certainly STV and LBC anyway, and
so that was fine, but we actually got where Reform
(34:02):
wanted to be. But they didn't want to stand with us.
They didn't want to stand with our banners because our
banners were pretty outspoken, pretty pretty pretty outspoken. Let's let's
put up some pictures. Let's go through them. Now. There
we go, mass deportation now and Asylum frauds out. Love it.
(34:32):
They are condensed together. You can't get better than that,
my friend, Mass deportation now, Asylum Frauds Out. That's a
beautiful picture. That's going in a magazine, that's going in
a book. That one absolutely and oh oh, even more
(34:53):
asylum frauds out. That's two asylum frauds out flags and
a mass deportation now. I have to say, folks, this
is the first time that mass deportation now and asylum
frauds out has been seen on the streets anywhere in Scotland.
(35:14):
A first twenty third of eight pro twenty twenty five. Okay,
there you go. There's myself and our stilling activist right there.
And on the right there that's David Ballentine from Gorilla
TV who's always getting up to mischief. He's a good bloke.
(35:37):
He's a good bloke as well. The fellow on the
right with his camera, he's always at these events, David Ballentine.
Give him a follow. He's on Gorilla TV channel. There's
another one. There's another one. Excellent. Okay, there we are
(35:57):
mass deportation now. And when we say mass deportation we're
talking about illegals. That is to say people who are
in the country illegally, which is to say people who
have been deemed inadmissible asylum seekers, people who have been
deemed fraudulent asylum seekers, people who have breached their terms
(36:20):
of their visa, people who have overstayed their visa and
people who have committed crimes and are dual citizens and
can be deported, or are foreign citizens and can be deported.
So we're talking about mass deportation of illegals and criminals
(36:44):
who are eligible shall we say eligible for deportation. Okay,
there we are another two, our fantastic activists. Great work guys,
there you go. Can't get enough of that banner. Excellent Okay,
Asylum frauds out. That is such a good slogan, such
(37:10):
a good slogan. Okay. So those were our banners today
and our flags, and I want to say a very
big thank you to our sterling activists who come out
onto the streets. And you know what, we had a
(37:34):
very very good reception we had. I mean most, as
I always say, ninety five percent of the people in
the world are passive, so they're not going to say
or do anything. But there is obviously the five percent
who have an opinion on things and who will do something.
(37:55):
And so of the five percent who passed us today,
overwhelmingly it was nice work, mate, good stuff. Yeah, I
agree with you. Yeah, bet beep beat beep. Got a
few beat beeps as well from people passing and got
a beat beat from a bus driver as well, which
(38:15):
was always nice to see. And we only had one person, right,
we only had one angry, aggressive, ugly in his attitude person.
And this was somebody who worked ironically for a guess what,
(38:36):
a refugee charity, ironically in the same building as the
merchant's house. And he goes, I work for I work
two blah blah blah. For refugees are desiums seekers and
these are vulnerable people. And and see when they come
(38:58):
that vulnerable stuff, it's like, no, they're not vulnerable, mate.
And as soon as you cut them down like that,
as soon as you say, we're not listening to this
vulnerability angle, then they've got nothing to say. They have
nothing to say because they realize you're not falling for it.
You're not falling for it. And we point out that
these people that, as I always say, who come across
(39:21):
the English channel, these are people with agency, okay, These
are people who know what they're doing. These are people
with self determination. And you can congratulate them for that
in fact, but they're self determining individuals. They know what
they're doing. Don't try to make me feel sorry for them, Okay,
They've got their own life going on. Whatever's going on
(39:45):
in their life is not my concern. Okay, I'm concerned
to the extent. I'm concerned about things for people in
my purview in mile to World, my friends, my family
looking out wider, my neighbors, and the people here in Glasgow.
(40:08):
But I cannot be and should not be concerned for
everybody in the world. Emmanual Macron put it well. He
said something to the effect that we cannot embrace all
the misery of the world. We cannot embrace all the
(40:29):
misery of the world, because, believe me, every day there's
misery in the world. We can do our best to
alleviate it. Politically, we can ask our countries, our governments
to stop bombing the shit out of other countries. That
would certainly help, and I do encourage people to go
(40:49):
down that route as well, to encourage our governments to
be peaceful. But at the end of the day, we
cannot embrace all the misery of the world world, and
it's not for us. It cannot be for us to
embrace that and to make that our lives. So the
(41:11):
only person today in the time that we were out
for several hours, the only person who criticized us in
a very aggressive manner, I might add, was somebody who
literally worked for a refugee ngo. He's literally getting paid
by us, the British taxpayer, to do his job, because
(41:33):
these NGOs only exist on British taxpayers money. And he
looked he didn't even look like I mean, he's spoken,
he spoke with an English accent, but he looked like
a kind of foreigner of some description. So at the
end of the day, at the end of the day,
he he with a made up name as well, don't
(41:57):
tell me that was his real name, because he had
a little badge on anyway. That aside, that aside, that
was the that was the only aggression that we had.
And he lost his head pretty quickly. He lost his
head pretty quickly. But but and he lived in the
(42:17):
same but he worked in the same building. And interestingly,
he didn't he didn't get his mates to come out
and confront us either. You know, it's like, oh, they're
down there, we'll just we'll just hush up up here,
We'll not say anything. We'll just hide away, Which is
just as well, I suppose for for him, because we
(42:40):
on our megaphone would have told him very quickly where
he was going wrong. The specialist Sylvester Stallone film Happy
Saint George's Day, Happy Saint George's Day. To you. The
specialist Willie Brown says John Swine's eye of democracy is
(43:01):
banning a party, the reform party with the highest growing
support in the UK, from speaking on democracy road with purposes.
Do you know how many migrants, which is to say
asylum seekers are in a dem frees hotel. I don't know,
(43:22):
but the hotel will be fully booked out. If you
know what the hotel is, if you know where the
hotel is, if you know how many rooms it has,
then you can be certain that it will be at
least that number of people. Oxanner says the World Economic
Forum want a borderless Europe, and I do think that
(43:44):
there is a certain truth to the idea that our
politicians do follow things like the World Economic Forum. I'm
not saying that they're in charge. I don't think that
the WEF is in charge, but I do think that
they do set an agenda as it well that our
politicians tend to fit into. I think politicians, most of them,
have no real ideology and so they're looking to adopt ideologies.
(44:11):
So if somebody like the World Economic Forum comes along,
excuse me, if the World Economic Forum comes along with
already made ideology, then I think that politicians can just
adapt adopt it. I do think there is a part
of that. I don't think the WF is ultimately in
(44:32):
control though, and as Stephen points out, the mainstream political
parties have a band in the strict conceit of sovereignty.
Marjorie says that she read that Glasgow was in the
verge of a civil war because of all the immigration.
Is that true, And Marjorie, that's not true. There's not
(44:55):
that degree of there's not that degree of widespread concern.
What you have, what you always find, whether it's in
a town or a city or a country, is there's
hot spots of concern which and these hot spots are
very often just located in certain areas, and often they
(45:17):
don't really go beyond those areas. I have not heard
of any areas in Glasgow that are on the verge
of what might be called civil war. I do know
that generally speaking, there is a particular concern about the
levels of especially refugees who have begin being given housing.
(45:42):
Now I was asked about this today by somebody that
was interviewing me, in fact, was by the Gorilla TV man,
and he was asking me to explain why is it
that refugees appear to get to the top of the
house ladder before the native Brits. And this is the reason.
(46:06):
Let me explain why that this is. It's it's a
it's a bug in the system. As they say, it's
it's a problem with the way that the system works.
For example, say you're on the housing ladder. Say you're
presently in a home you're living with, say your mother
(46:27):
and father. You have got a roof over your head.
So the council has to consider that. However, take refugees
take a step back. Take an asylum seeker comes off
the boat at Dover, applies for asylum, goes through the system,
(46:50):
takes twelve months, they're living in a hotel courtesy of
you and I. They get granted refugee status. So somebody's
looked at their application. They've said, yes, he's got a
(47:11):
well founded fear of persecution, give him refugee status. What
that means is that when you get refugee status, you
get automatically on given that refugee status you get everything
(47:33):
that a British citizen would get, So you get automatic
right to social housing, automatic right to housing benefit, automatic
right to universal benefits, all those sorts of things. You
get that for five years. It's called refuge leave to
remain leave fancy word for permission to remain for five years.
(48:00):
You're now entitled to stay in the UK for five years.
After five years you can apply for indefinite leave to remain,
which you will get, and then after a year you
can apply for British citizenship. But the point is, as
soon as you get refugee status, you are given all
these benefits. However, what it also means is you have
(48:23):
to leave the hotel. So imagine that. Imagine you're an
asylum seeker off the boat from Syria or wherever. You
don't speak English, you've got very little skills, you're not
really culturally compatible. You have now got eight weeks eight
weeks to get out of the hotel and find accommodation,
(48:45):
and that's on you. And there are thousands of these
guys leaving hotels every month and they're going. You're just
left to your own devices, so you're going to anywhere.
Many are coming to Glasgow because Glasgow has a very welcoming,
(49:08):
inverted Comma's view of refugees. So you rock up in Glasgow,
you've left your hotel in Essex, You've come up on
the train to Glasgow. Give me a house. And so
the Glasgow City Council or whatever council is faced with
this guy and it's like, well, we either give this
guy a house or he lives under a bridge. So
(49:33):
what they do is they give this guy a house
or a flat because the alternative is literally him sleeping
on the streets. And so he gets right up there
on the housing ladder and you, who's been living with
your parents for the last ten years, you're just going
(49:54):
to have to keep living with your parents because at
least you've got a house, You've at least got a
roof over your head. Whereas this guy from Syria who's
now been given refugee status, he's either got to get
a flat from the council or he's living under a bridge.
So that's how the system ends up elevating these people
to the top of the housing list because it's literally
(50:17):
they have got nowhere else to go unless the council
gives them a house. That's the absurdity of our refugee
system right now. That's one of the reasons why we
should not we should not really be having this refugee system,
because it's it's we need to leave the UN Refugee
Convention and we we have to change all of that
(50:42):
in such a way that it is not it's not
defacto ballot, de facto prejudiced towards the refugees. The refugees
are always going to get to the top of the
housing ladder because the alternative if they don't get a
house is homelessness for them, Whereas the alternative for those
(51:02):
of us, the indigenous British who are looking for a
house of our own. You know, we're not generally speaking
in that sort of in that dichotomy. We're usually still
able to stay with our parents or wherever. Alan says.
We citizens get checked, scanned, verified when going on holiday,
(51:25):
no papers, no travel or access to countries. We should
just skip the cues and the bureaucracy and take a boat. Well,
sometimes it does seem to work out a lot easier
that way, Paul says swhen he wanted to talk about reform,
not to them. They didn't want anything to challenge their
(51:45):
fixed ideas. James likes the banners. Thank you, sir. Exile
