you know, are part of that wider narrative that has to be told. And so places like the BBC will try and hide it. They will allude to the background of these men. They will just say Asian, whereas what they really mean is Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Muslim men account for the vast, vast, vast, over 90% majority of the perpetrators of these heinous crimes against young girls. Um,

But what you're talking about here is this really odd dynamic on the political right in the UK where, you know, you've got kind of the street activist, extremely working class end of things in Tommy Robinson's group, formerly of the English Defence League.

That organization has had lots of running street battles with Antifa, you know, physical fights, brawls, smashing things up, fights with police, you know, almost what the papers and the middle classes would call, you know, football hooliganism or yobbish behavior, right? I don't subscribe to those definitions. I'm just kind of trying to lay the land here.

On the flip side of the political right in the UK, you've got Nigel Farage, who is, A private school educated former metals trader in the city of London who has worked since the mid-90s to extricate Britain from its relationship with the European Union and has focused on mass immigration as a critical topic there.

Over the last year, Nigel has taken this party, and it was originally the UK Independent Party, Party, then it became the Brexit Party, and now it's the Reform Party, from being a 5% party in the polls 10 years ago to beating the Labour Party and indeed the Conservative Party in national polls today. So Nigel's perspective on this is we did all of this without having to go there.

Don't tell me I have to go there and allow us to be besmirched as yobs and hooligans and whatnot. you also have to understand that there is a significant chunk of the British upper, sorry, the British middle class voter who are looking for reasons to stop voting for Labour and the Conservative parties. And if you tell them that reform is necessarily linked over here, they just won't do it.

And if you tell them that reform is necessarily linked over here, they just won't do it.

So it's a very fine line that has to be tread, a political fine line that has to be tread here to ensure that reform can actually take over from the two legacy establishment parties. And my perspective on it is this. I'm friends with both of those men. I have been for a long time. I talked to them both very frankly about it. I've fallen out with both of them about talking to the other ones.

And we're going to see eye to eye. But what I say is this. The people who have been critical of Nigel over the last couple of days because he doesn't want to be allied with Tommy Robinson, I will say this. This is not the time to be watching a party, the only political movement that could surge and replace the Tories and Labour and trying to drive a wedge through the political right.

In fact, the people who are doing that, I regard as splitters, I regard as contrary to the greater cause. And I just think this is a fight that the establishment, the EU, Davos and the left absolutely love. And we just all need to pack it in.
