So one of the reasons why the riots had happened was because there was no information about what was going on after that killing, and there was a real sense of anger. There was a sense of frustration that the police, the government, weren't doing the right thing. Now, I've got to paint the picture further. It's a complex story, and I believe the one that's decades old.

So four decades, young British girls most of whom were white underclass girls, not even working class girls, really forgotten, poorest working class girls in the country, as well as other small minorities like Sikh girls and other groups, had been victim of the Pakistani rape gangs.

Tommy Robinson isn't in prison exactly for that right now. Tommy Robinson is in prison because he showed a film which was in contempt of court, a portrayal of a young Syrian immigrant who was in America. And he had been told not to show the film because it was... libelous against this Syrian boy.

And there's a conversation to be had, I think, about whether or not the length of his prison sentence is fair and been politically manipulated. But what is true is that Tommy Robinson has been one of the leading journalists when it comes to the grooming gang scandal in the country. He has done more perhaps than anyone until Elon Musk to bring the attention to the world.

The story of Tom Robinson is a complex one because he's also done things that have made, put in jeopardy the opportunity to have justice for some of those girls. And that's a very complex one. But just for the sake of what time we've got and to paint the picture of why the grooming gags is relevant to the free speech stuff is that the grooming gangs

These girls, their families and fathers had basically had enough because the police weren't doing anything. In fact, the police were complicit in it and had been found. So the councils had been complicit in it. And so these, a lot of English men, working class men, were very fed up.

And actually this has flared up before, it flared up in 2023 in Knowsley when a migrant from being kept in a migrant hotel made a pass at a young teenage girl, the video got circulated and the police did nothing. And so then riots broke out because the police did nothing. So this kind of happened again with Southport, there was this brutal, horrible killing.

The whole country was in mourning, and it didn't feel like anything serious was being done, and it blew over. Or even if anything serious was being done, the anger was too much to be contained. It was really like the whole country was completely on edge. For three days, I don't think anyone slept. It was unbelievable. I've never known England to be so tense as that.

There was then arguments about whether or not there should be a national inquiry. I'm not sure what the latest in that, but the government, Keir Starmer, really dragged his feet. One of the reasons why people think he dragged his feet is that whilst he was the chief crown prosecutor, he was involved in...

not necessarily judging individual cases of the grooming gangs, but overseeing... I haven't got the details ahead. I don't want to misportray it. But basically, they thought that he might have... It might look bad on him because of his previous work. And so that's one line of thought there, and there's some evidence to support that. But it doesn't seem like much has been moved.

There's still people, even within the Labour Party, who want a national inquiry because it's actually a lot of Labour constituents that were the victims of this. So anyway, this is all the context for what blew over last year. And we're sort of continuing this free speech where we have... They want to contain hate speech. They want to contain speech that might... This is the tricky bit.
