Chapter 1: What motivates Young Bob to engage in public debates?

0.031 - 16.835 Young Bob

You don't want to be the most famous guy in the graveyard. Have you got a breaking point? Are you getting sick and tired of being beaten up by people? I'm more scared of acid attacks and being stabbed because obviously I don't want a mushed face and I don't want to be in constant agonizing pain. At my secondary school, one of the students casually said, yeah, none of us have ever liked you.

0

16.855 - 30.411 Young Bob

We all talk shit about you behind your back. You should go kill yourself. No one wants you here. A guy threatened to stab me. The Muslims don't just have an issue with me because I don't agree that their God exists. It's also because I want a lot of them deported. 200 babies could probably win a fight with Conor McGregor.

30.531 - 40.261 Young Bob

If there's enough lefties out there, it doesn't matter what I know and how to defend myself. I'll just have to crawl up in a ball and hopefully they don't go for the head. I've heavily relied on porn, which has been a very dark part of my life.

Chapter 2: What experiences has Young Bob had with violence during his activism?

40.462 - 49.731 Young Bob

Henry Novak, a young man who sees the police, obviously hopes that they're going to save him, save his life, and they take it. Are you worried that one day you may get a bullet in your head?

0

55.263 - 67.563 Liam Tuffs

I don't normally do an intro to any of our interviews because I want the audience to enjoy as much or as little as possible. And if they're interested in the title and the thumbnail, they click and they watch, they enjoy it and they comment.

0

67.683 - 86.939 Liam Tuffs

However, this week I've got our youngest ever guest, young Bob, who's a political activist and he puts a stool up on the streets and he starts having open debates with the public about current affairs, politics, politics. culture wars, all the stuff that we talk about from time to time on this channel.

0

87.299 - 111.713 Liam Tuffs

Now, I want you to watch this interview in its entirety because this young man keeps getting beaten to a pulp from gangs and mobs of people just for having an opinion. I want you to watch and listen to everything he has to say, every question that I fire at him and he responds and make up your own minds. Do you think this young man deserves to be getting punched, kicked,

0

111.693 - 132.25 Liam Tuffs

thrown on the ground stuff thrown at him on a regular basis every time he wants to have a conversation with somebody that disagrees so make what you will jump in the comments and let me know your thoughts but please do watch from start to finish and get a rounded opinion of the following conversation and the following young man you're just about to see on camera which is young bob

133.36 - 156.145 Liam Tuffs

Am I calling you Bob or Young Bob today? Anything, really. Okay, now I met you outside the Royal Courts of Justice roughly a year ago, and you were busy doing your activism thing at that time. And I spoke to you briefly, and I didn't realise you were Sir Young, which is why you go by the name of Young Bob. And I said to you, when you're 18, you can come on the podcast because that's our policy.

156.884 - 179.23 Liam Tuffs

I've broke my own rules. You're 18 in a month, but I keep seeing you getting attacked by groups of people, punched in the face, kicked on the floor. So I think we need to come forward a month because I want to put out a message to people that are doing it or think it's OK to beat the shit out of people due to a difference of opinion is wrong, immoral, and it has to stop.

179.21 - 185.965 Liam Tuffs

So on that basis alone, we're bringing it forward a month and I'm breaking my own rules. So there you go. Now, you're 17 years of age.

Chapter 3: How does Young Bob view the impact of pornography on society?

186.226 - 206.865 Liam Tuffs

You're politically active. I want to cover your story, your morals, your principles, your why, how you ended up here. But just first of all, as a 17-year-old lad that keeps getting... violently attacked. And I've seen this now about half a dozen times, you getting lynched by mobs of crazed leftists, constant threats. I see that online with my own eyes.

0

206.945 - 223.29 Liam Tuffs

So God knows what you receive in your direct messages and you keep getting arrested. So that's quite some parcel to unpack. So why does this keep happening? Who are you and why are you so popular on the internet at the moment or unpopular depending on how you perceive it?

0

223.27 - 241.224 Young Bob

I would just say I'm one of the most hyperactive activists in the UK. And that's not me being egotistical. That's just me stating a fact that I'm constantly around in different areas of the country. And maybe it's my autism. Maybe it's ignorance. I just believe that there is no such thing as an ego zone. And I have inspirations from different figures and different political spheres.

0

241.264 - 245.211 Young Bob

And I've always wanted to do politics, speak to people who disagree with me.

0

245.191 - 270.827 Young Bob

interview people debate with them and unfortunately I'm not going to have people saying that if you go out and do these certain things you're going to be attacked as a preventative I'm not going to stop doing this just simply because of some kids pushing me now it did start out with arrests no further actions than people pushing me out on the street and now it's getting slowly and slowly and slowly more severe towards my 18th birthday which I think is somewhat poetic

Chapter 4: What are Young Bob's thoughts on remigration and demographic change?

270.807 - 291.347 Young Bob

So obviously what happened last week in Manchester was the Unholy Alliance unpacked, of course, members of Stand Up to Racism attacking me on egged on by a bunch of migrant lads. However, originally before that actual event, it was just people pushing me out on the street. So as much as it may look bad on camera, I was perfectly healthy and fine to continue on.

0

291.327 - 310.11 Young Bob

That being said, obviously, I need to take more security, more preventative measures to ensure that I can actually still do my work whilst also being safe. But I just love doing it. I just have a passion for it. A passion for politics and debate. Yeah, mostly started from Christianity, to be fair. And I believe that my politics is baptized within my Christian faith.

0

310.331 - 315.597 Young Bob

But I don't know, like ever since I was like 13, watching people like political pundits always wanted to do it.

0

315.661 - 323.41 Liam Tuffs

So you mentioned the attack in Manchester. There'll be people that don't know about that. So what were you doing in Manchester? What were you discussing and what led to that attack?

0

323.491 - 347.237 Young Bob

Yeah, so I was campaigning in Makerfield for the Makerfield by-election. Now, Makerfield as a constituency is close towards Liverpool, so on Friday, funny enough, debated Owen Jones, then also went to Liverpool town centre to do some debates there, then came out on the Monday. I wanted to do Manchester, so I did a stand stating that Reform UK needs to be more right-wing, needs to be more radical.

347.217 - 364.405 Young Bob

And I had two discussions, one with a libertarian and one was for someone who's just curious what the prompt actually meant. And halfway through the second discussion, a bunch of lads behind me, as I stand up to racism, counter-protests were slowly emerging, people shouting, you know, racists off our streets. I was grabbed up.

Chapter 5: How does Young Bob perceive the grooming gangs scandal?

365.026 - 381.848 Young Bob

They started hitting, kicking me on the floor. I passed out for a while. I tried to achieve my equipment successfully. Couldn't. Then I ended up in Greggs until the police could arrive. What did you have in Greggs? I didn't have anything. It was just to ensure that...

0

382.3 - 400.04 Young Bob

that the people weren't going out and A, trying to attack me more, or B, trying to take more things on my person, because they were trying to take the equipment and the SD cards that I was able to scavenge off the actual scene to ensure that the actual attack wasn't posted, despite the fact that one of the women that were with them decided to stupidly post it on social media.

0

400.06 - 403.524 Young Bob

So we actually have, I think, two brief clips of what actually happened that day.

0

403.825 - 409.371 Liam Tuffs

So a couple of things. You mentioned that you debated Owen Jones. How did you find that, and do you think you got the better of him?

0

409.351 - 422.981 Young Bob

So I'll have to achieve the entire discussion on the SD card because the camera that was also used to film the debate, Stand Up To Racism Activist took it. I think he's either remanded or been put on bail.

Chapter 6: What role does faith play in Young Bob's political views?

423.001 - 440.877 Young Bob

He's been arrested. And he tried to destroy it because he didn't know how to take the SD card out, but it exploded in his hand. So he was able to retrieve the SD card out from the broken camera. And what I would say is that Owen Jones is a left-wing activist who's probably been doing this longer than I've been alive. I've been born in 2008.

0

440.857 - 457.347 Young Bob

So saying that, sometimes when you approach left-wing pundits that you hold in quite high regard, because obviously they've been on the scene longer than you have, you're a bit intimidated. But he was cacking at some very basic questions that any left-winger would. So I would say that in my experience...

0

457.327 - 470.163 Young Bob

the sort of how trivial it is to meet people who are famous sort of goes away if you do it for long enough. And I've just found that Owen Jones, he's not that particularly intellectually special. He's just sort of someone who's been around a lot.

0

470.684 - 488.858 Liam Tuffs

Yeah. He's got a lot to say for himself. That's for sure. And it seems for all the times I've ever seen Owen Jones speak out or pipe up, it's, It seems like he's just purposely trying to antagonise people. He's going against what I would consider common sense and he's an agitator. So did he approach you or did you approach him?

0

489.039 - 509.515 Young Bob

So he approached me and because of my affiliations with Restore Britain, I don't have any formal position, I just advocate for them. And also the fact that I'm a right winger and I, you know, push for emigration and deportations and stuff. And he was basically asking me some questions on like comms and Restore Britain, like some of the online support for Restore Britain on the right.

510.596 - 519.227 Young Bob

And also like my policy on deportations. But towards the end, I was able to like poke at him for some questions about the Unholy Alliance. So I asked him a question on...

519.207 - 534.938 Young Bob

Do you think it is consistent with your worldview as a left-wing progressive to accept a coalition of radically conservative Muslims that don't believe in trans rights, that don't believe in the rights of the LGBTQ plus community? And what he essentially said is, look,

534.918 - 547.673 Young Bob

we're going to unite because one pushes multiculturalism and these people can stay and the right obviously believes in like a moderate migration policy. And then I gave him the example of the independent candidate alliance with Haka Majikub.

548.274 - 561.149 Young Bob

It's a demonstration that as soon as the Muslims gain enough power, as soon as there's enough democratic security amongst foreign populations, they have the political force to detach themselves from the progressive left wing. And he sort of fumbled it.

Chapter 7: What are Young Bob's thoughts on the current political landscape in the UK?

561.849 - 579.035 Young Bob

I then went on to ask him, are Islamic values compatible with the left? And besides the fact he gave a caveat arguing that Christian principles aren't, and I just conceded that for the sake of the discussion, he agreed with me that the views of the Sunni Orthodox Muslims are not compatible with his own. And that's the point.

0

579.155 - 601.055 Young Bob

I'd really think that if you've been doing this for years, if you are new Labour and now Green Party supporter, you should be able to defend the coalition of voters that you're building up coming into 29, but it seems like they can't. How many years have you been absorbing politics to have such a broad spectrum of knowledge? I think it's incredibly passive, the way I've learned.

0

601.236 - 624.688 Young Bob

I started doing Speaker's Corner just before I turned 16, when I was 15. And that was an absolute privilege. And before that... It must have been when I was in year 11 in summer, I just went on the Internet and found a debate community on like Discord and TikTok. And I was like speaking to people about religion. And you mentioned autism. So how old were you when you were diagnosed? Very young.

0

624.728 - 633.96 Young Bob

Couldn't say exact age. I have Asperger's. Obviously, some people would say that's a superpower. Others would say it's like, you know, difficult with social skills. Obviously, I've not looked young.

0

Chapter 8: What future does Young Bob envision for himself and his activism?

633.94 - 662.698 Young Bob

at you straight consistently I'm looking everywhere but it has gained to my benefit in terms of obsessions so like autistic people usually obsess over things when I was young I remember having a strange affinity for like reading about Chernobyl and like when I was like in year six or whatever so I consume knowledge like there's nothing so I've been very fortunate in that respect to have that to then support me with my political and religious knowledge I was going to ask you do you find having autism a hindrance or more of a superpower depends

0

662.678 - 680.637 Young Bob

So there was a few critics on Twitter who met me in real life during a canvassing trail for Restore Britain. And they accused me of being a psychopath because they said that there was no life in my eyes because apparently I was like really antisocial. So on camera or when I need to be, I'll be incredibly social. Like as a theater student, I could go out and I

0

680.617 - 695.221 Young Bob

could perform, but I've got huge social anxieties. I don't know how to interact with people properly. And I've actually got stage fright, which I've found, and sometimes it expresses itself weirdly. So if I get going, if I'm having a long-form discussion with you, it can be okay. I can articulate myself perfectly fine.

0

695.241 - 702.412 Young Bob

But if there's a brief interaction on the street and someone's a fan, as much as I'd like to treat them as best as humanly possible, sometimes I can't.

0

702.613 - 704.836 Liam Tuffs

I think Elon Musk has Asperger's.

705.317 - 723.143 Young Bob

Is that right? I think he does. I think most of the people in the right-wing movement have a form of autism. You sort of have to, if feared with being arrested, being beat up, sometimes being killed, if you look what happened in America or Charlie Kirk, all of these things go around your head and those are the constant threats impeded upon by right-wingers.

723.163 - 745.034 Young Bob

So in order for you to dismiss those threats and continue on, you'd have to be autistic or some form of neurodivergency. And what's your perception of Elon Musk? He's a sort of... A guy that I imagine what I would act like if I had billions of pounds. Politically, sometimes he goes off the rails. I do support him immensely for setting up X and Twitter.

745.415 - 764.578 Young Bob

Sometimes I'd hope he'd repost me at some point. That's a milestone I'd like to reach at some point. But I love the guy. How would you describe yourself? Would you say he was fair and nuanced or more of a social grenade? So my view is actually quite nuanced, but I'm intentionally like a social grenade in the way I go into the public sphere.

764.898 - 783.636 Young Bob

So if I'm presented with a debate, and let's say, for example, you're like a raving lefty and you immediately come off with like a closed mind, I'm going to be a social grenade. I'm going to be incredibly stubborn. I'm going to reciprocate the respect that you give me. But say we have a more prolonged discussion where you ask fair questions. I'm going to be a bit more nuanced on my opinion.
