SPEAKER_00 0:05

Good morning, everybody, and welcome to Wednesday's episode of Trending. I hope you're well. Well, unfortunately, we've got a not very nice story to start the show with this morning. Kind of follows on from what I was talking about on Monday, where we were talking about the different caveats and the different nuances of immigration and things like that, and how deliberate division is caused by ignoring basic questions, stopping them being discussed, and obviously ignoring very, very basic and very simple and genuine concerns that people have. You can create an outcome really easily by just ignoring people. People feel ignored, they're going to get angrier and angrier, and then things obviously generally get violent. This story this week from Belfast is what I'm, of course, referring to the uh the snife attack that happened in the high street in one of the main areas of Belfast, sorry, I should say, earlier this week. And it's led to a very similar reaction on the streets of Northern Ireland to what we saw in Southampton after the murder of Henry Nowak. Novak, sorry. So essentially what's happened is an asylum seeker, refugee, economic migrant, whatever you want to call them, um, from Sudanese, a Sudanese man, 30 years old, has appeared to randomly attack somebody. Doesn't appear to be a motive at this point, doesn't appear to be any connection from what I can see between the two men. No stories, no news outlets are claiming that it appears completely random. This man is now in hospital in a serious condition with injuries to his eyes, neck, and back after the attack around 10.30 pm a couple of days ago. Now, this man's been arrested and he's currently awaiting trial, which obviously will take some time. Now, immediately the question that was raised, which is raised most times in these cases, is who is this man and how did he get into the country? Did he come through legal channels, or is he an example of somebody who is snuck through the net? Well, that answer, as usual, was delayed, which just creates more and more speculation, more and more anger, more and more people going, well, they're clearly hiding something from us, otherwise, they wouldn't be saying nothing. Now, the police and the media and the local authorities are very responsible most of the time for half of these kind of protests and half of these violent clashes that we see by literally not telling people anything. Now, if you hark your minds back a couple of years ago to the horrible, horrific attacks in Southport, which which led to three girls, young girls losing their lives, the police said very little for a good few days afterwards, which led to more and more speculation, people coming up with their own conclusions, it led to more and more anger, obviously and understandably. So by saying nothing, you create a narrative in people's minds. So they are very much responsible for the drama, the violence, the clashes that we see because they're not saying anything. And here's the thing, and this is where we go back to creating outcomes on purpose. You can almost give them a free pass once and say it was just handled really poorly, they didn't give the public enough information. That led to speculation, that led to this. Okay. Well, after you've done it once, you can see what the public reaction is. You can see saying nothing doesn't work, you can see it leads to more and more anger, and therefore, you need next time, if there's any issues like this again, you need to be very upfront about what's going on because you've seen the devastation and you've seen the carnage cause by saying nothing. Yet every time since there's been anything like this, they've done exactly the same again. They've said nothing, which leads the public to come up with their own conclusions, which leads people to come up with their own outcomes, and it lets people get more and more speculation floating around, more and more anger, more and more contempt for the system for not keeping people up to date. And then it clashes and it turns violent. It's a very simple problem reaction solution. You know you're going to get this reaction now. You can't plead ignorance because it's happened so many times and you know exactly what's going to happen. So by doing nothing, you're creating this outcome. Anyone that thinks they're not doing this on purpose, just logically think about it and go, okay, I did something and this reaction happened. So therefore, next time I might do something different if I want to get a different reaction. But they're not, they're doing the same thing. That should tell you that this is not an accident. So let's dive in to how this man got here, first of all, because this is obviously what's fueled a lot of the speculation. This man entered the UK through a loophole before this attack. What he did is he was already in mainland Europe, which obviously has very different uh immigration laws, but country by country. And once you get into mainland Europe, the Schengen region, which ironically David can't go to, uh, he's classed as a domestic three-level terrorist domestic terrorist level three or something by the Dutch government. This is a man that's never harmed anybody in his life. Um so when you're in Europe, you can travel without any issues. You know, you get into the EU, there's no borders between countries anymore, especially if you're driving, you can just drive between country after country. And if you fly in to an EU nation, you you go through a border, of course, but you have freedom of movement. It's one of the uh the things that goes along with being part of the single market. Now, police say this man travelled from Sudan to Paris. See there's connections between many African countries and France, um, before flying to Dublin. Now, Dublin, in the Republic of Ireland, the same land mass as Northern Ireland, is obviously part of the Schengen region, part of the EU. They then drove up to Belfast. Sorry, took a bus, I should say, up to Belfast. Now, as a result of a number of different debates, agreements between the EU and Great Britain during the Brexit negotiations, there is no hard border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Therefore, if you get into Ireland, you can drive straight up with no questions asked. So he's got through in a loophole, which allowed him to then stay in Belfast. He claimed asylum in 2023 and he was granted refugee status and permission to remain in the UK until 2028. This doesn't sound particularly safe, does it? Because anybody that gets into the Republic of Ireland can just drive north of the border without any questions being asked, or take public transport north of the border without any questions being asked in this case, and then you're in the UK. And I'm not aware that there's heavy customs checks if he was to then get a ferry across from Belfast to Liverpool or Haitiam and then come into mainland Great Britain. So this you've got a man that, okay, he claimed asylum, so he would have had to provide some kind of documentation, but let's say he didn't. Let's say he just decided to remain in Belfast under the radar. You've got a man in your country, you don't know he's there, you don't know who he is, you don't know what he's done back in his homeland, what he might be running away from, what he's capable of. And we're just meant to sleep easy and accept that that's fine. This is utter, utter insanity. And as I said on Monday, one person committing crimes and violent acts is too many. It's far too many. And I sound like a broken record, and many people do talking about this issue. But this issue is being ignored. It's been ignored after government after government after government. You know, you saw Tory ministers yesterday coming out saying out how outrageous this was that this had happened. It's like, okay, but he came in 2023 when you guys were in power. You can't wash your hands of this. This is where you create chaos by having a chaotic system where nobody knows where they stand, nobody knows exactly what is happening, exactly what works. For me, there should be a very strict and very, very simple policy for these types of things. When this happens, this happens. When that happens, that happens. You know, if you enter the UK legally as an immigrant and you want to remain here, you've got to be bringing something to the table. Exactly the same as the Australian point system. You've got to be bringing some kind of skill, you've got to be bringing something with you. You can't claim asylum, sorry, not asylum, you can't claim benefits, you can't claim from the system. And equally, if you commit any crimes, you're deported back to your nation of origin. And I think every country across the world should adopt the same policy. If I went to Spain and committed crimes, I don't think the Spanish taxpayer should be paying for me to be in a Spanish prison. I should be sent back to England. And that's where the whole race argument goes away, because I'm not talking about Britain as this superior nation that we should, we should have this situation for us and everyone should bow to the fact that Britain's the best country and everyone wants to live here. No, I think this should be the same the world over. Governments and authorities should prioritize the citizens of the nation that they are there to represent, nobody else. If people want to come into the country and enrich life there and add to it, bring something to the table, fantastic. It can be a great thing. As long as the indigenous culture that remains the dominant one in whatever that nation is, people that come in respect that and assimilate into whatever that culture is. But that's not what we see. And that's not what we see the world over. That's not what we see with Brits that move to Spain either. Some do, a lot don't. And we certainly see that with people that come to this country from certain parts of the world. They don't want to assimilate, they want to dominate. And my question to them is very simple is if the country you're leaving is so great and the culture is so great that you then want to create that culture here, why are you leaving in the first place? Probably you're leaving because of the economic opportunities and maybe the opportunities for safety here in the UK that maybe you don't have in your homeland. Okay. Well, respect that then. Respect that you have been given an opportunity to live your life in a potentially more prosperous country and environment. Don't go out and abuse that by either going on marches telling everyone how racist and um, you know, dreadful Britain is. And equally, maybe don't go and commit violent crime. Maybe don't try and take over and make people who who have lived in that country their whole lives and have generational ties to that country feel out of place in their own homeland. Don't try and take over a religious ideology. Respect people's rights to believe and live their lives differently. If we all did that, whenever anybody travelled, whenever anybody emigrated to any other part of the world, we'd all get on. But what this is obviously going to do is obviously going to spark more conversation around this subject. Um, and understandably, because most elections, this is a big issue that's raised, and it's something that is very rarely dealt with, if ever been dealt with. And no one knows where they stand because, like I say, you can't sneak into a country on a loophole. That's madness. Um nothing will happen. There'll probably be a few days of unrest. Politicians will pay lip service, opposition politicians will say something needs to be done, and then everyone will just go back to their day job. But if there was a country and a place having spent some time there not to annoy, and a demographic of people not to get on the wrong side of, it's the Northern Irish. Because those guys don't take prisoners, and they also have a lot uh you know a long-standing distrust for authority, and understandably so. So maybe I'm wrong. Maybe there maybe this will not be something that quietly goes away, maybe this will be something that escalates more and more over the coming days. Either way, the authorities are the ones at the heart of this. Firstly, for letting a man into the country, and secondly for allowing the speculation by not telling the truth. Tell the truth. Be honest, let people know what's really going on. And this has nothing to do with with race, this has to do with belie mindset and culture, and there's psychopaths in every culture around the world, including our own. And the way they are they are dealt with is something that needs to be addressed massively as well. But equally identifying people coming into a country, you need to you need to have a lot a lot more stringent policies to stop this from happening again. Use the house analogy. You wouldn't let anyone random into your house. You wouldn't let anyone random into your house when you had a family to protect. You'd want to you'd make sure they were safe first. And that's what I expect to see from my my government. Not that they represent me or you, but that's what you should be expecting to see. Right, well, thank you for tuning in with me. If you're if you're listening and watching on YouTube or Twitter, we're gonna head over to iconic.com now. We're gonna talk about the unfortunate re-escalation in Iran, we're gonna talk about AI, and we're gonna talk about James Bond to finish as well. I'll see you over there.

Don't mention the reptiles, Dave. Even less is said about the Grey Pope, which some believe to be the true ruling power in the Vatican.

SPEAKER_00 15:10

Humans are missing a macadress.

SPEAKER_01 15:12

All of them had little sickness. I've never seen it before. It's a transition level. This is the ultimate suicide. What if the symbols around us every day aren't just ornamental? We must have these at least. What if they're instructions?

SPEAKER_00 15:29

State of willingness is not manipulatable.
