9:05 pm
>> if labour wins the next election, you will be made a lot poorer by a dangerous climate fanatic with a track record of disaster . in fanatic with a track record of disaster. in my view. ed miliband remember him well, yes. he will become one of the most important people in the country. the energy minister with a big majority backed up by a load of 20 something year old kids behind him on the labour benches, obsess with going green. he will be able to do whatever he wants. here he is calling for an acceleration towards net zero only yesterday, and i want to make the case for acceleration. >> above all, i think there is a stark election choice. labour's case, which i'm going to make today for climate action as the route to lower energy bills and security good jobs and doing our dufies security good jobs and doing our duties by future generations against a conservative party which is slipping from climate delay into denial, which will mean higher bills, energy insecurity, fewer jobs and betrayal of future generations.
9:06 pm
>> so let's look at what ed wants and what that means for you today . it wants and what that means for you today. it was wants and what that means for you today . it was revealed he you today. it was revealed he wants to bring back the boiler tax under the measures boilers makers are set to be fined if they fail to meet certain targets for heat pump installations. manufacturers will charge you more. a heat pump can cost as much as £12,000. labour will probably subsidise that so your tax will go up. what they don't tell you is that a trial found that 81% of homes fitting a heat pump needed a new cylinder, and 93% needed a new cylinder, and 93% needed new radiators , so you needed new radiators, so you will have to pay for that as well. oh, and you'll also have to insulate your home. and even when you've done that, when it gets into minus temperatures, your energy bill could be £50 a day. he wanted launch a £28 day. he wanted to launch a £28 billion green energy plan, which laid but scrapped because it was unworkable and unaffordable. he somehow managed not to get sacked or forced to resign over that. sacked or forced to resign over that . well, mr miliband still that. well, mr miliband still wants that £28 billion, which
9:07 pm
should be a huge concern for everybody because he simply does not care about wasting public money. in fact, he is probably the most expensive policy maker in british history. he was the cabinet minister in gordon brown's government and put forward legislation committing britain to an 80% cut in co2 emissions. international cost estimates put it at over £1 trillion. he was responsible for labour getting into bed with just stop oil. he brought dale vince into the party's bosom, literally being okay with climate fanatics there. mr miliband pushed for no new oil and gas licences that cost labour support with the unions. so you could argue that he's quite bad at politics as well, although we already knew that, didn't we? because after he aned didn't we? because after he knifed his own brother in the back, he unveiled his stone tablet of pledges. like a socialist moses only to get a kicking at the general election and pave the way for jeremy corbyn to lead the labour party. >> these six pledges are now carved stone .
9:08 pm
carved in stone. >> the edstone, by the way, in case you're wondering where it is, was last seen at a pub garden somewhere around the chelsea area. seriously what a legacy. he pushed for labour to commit to the national grid being carbon free by 2030, which is apparently impossible. yesterday, the national grid is apparently impossible. yestethat, the national grid is apparently impossible. yestethat it he national grid is apparently impossible. yestethat it couldtional grid is apparently impossible. yestethat it could notal grid is apparently impossible. yestethat it could not possibly said that it could not possibly hit net zero until at least 2035 a week ago. he said that he would lift the de facto block on onshore wind farms at the stroke of a pen. so if you live in a rural area with a nice view, you can wave goodbye to that. it's completely pointless anyway, just today our national grid shows that we got almost as much energy france as we did energy from france as we did from gas and nuclear from wind, gas and nuclear leading the way. everything this man has touched has either been an expensive disaster, reversed, unworkable , or deemed to be unworkable, or deemed to be impossible to achieve, he might say he's a dreamer. well, he'd be an absolute nightmare for your bank balance. let's get the thoughts now of my panel. i am joined this evening by the
9:09 pm
director of the popular conservatives, mark littlewood. i've got businessman and activist adam brooks and author and journalist rebecca reid. i'm just going to ask you, mark, do you think that ed miliband might be quite a dangerous eco fanatic ? >> 7- >> he 7 >> he clearly is. >> he clearly is. >> he clearly is. >> he set it out pretty clearly. patrick the if you think the conservative government's been a bit wacky on net zero and i do if labour forms the next government, they're going to double down pretty much the tories have binned. i mean they've postponed but they've basically binned this boiler tax and nuts. there's and it is nuts. there's a complicated ratio about if you were going to install more gas boilers , you've got to install boilers, you've got to install a certain number of heat pumps. so let's imagine you need a new gas boiler. it may well be the manufacturer says to you sorry mate, you're going to have to wait we've installed wait until we've installed a heat pump for mark littlewood. so we're to get queues, so we're going to get queues, backlogs even if backlogs and the rest. even if you we need to you believe we need to decarbonise and there's a separate argument about that. this way to do it. this is not the way to do it. governments banning things and mandating things is not a
9:10 pm
successful way to reduce co2, even if that's a priority for you. >> yeah, the reason why i'm getting so exercised about this is we have to look at what's probably going to happen at the next probably to next election, probably going to be large labour be quite a large labour majority. a lot of their candidates appear to be in their early to mid 20s. from what we can gather, they i would imagine are probably signed quite are probably signed up quite heavily this eco agenda. then heavily to this eco agenda. then ed miliband can come forward and do all of the things that he's wanted to do for quite a while. and as far as i can tell, adam, a lot of those things are going to make us all a heck of a lot poorer, 100. >> this this idea that our bills are going to be lower because of renewables and in the future, it's fantasyland. our bills are going go up under a labour going to go up under a labour government. that's certain . government. that's for certain. it's not for certain. it is for certain. >> not for certain. you >> it's not for certain. you don't know. i don't know. you can't say things for certain. it's not okay to say on it's just not okay to say on television that's certain when it's that is it's anyone, anyone that is invested in this net zero,
9:11 pm
future cannot be trusted in my. >> in my view, the science does not back up that anything that we in country, whether we do in this country, whether it's electric cars it's heat pumps, electric cars or , or, you know, ulez schemes or, or, you know, ulez schemes is going to alter the climate or the world temperatures one bit. it's fantasy land. it's a way to control us. it's a way to tax us. and this is going to get turbocharged under a labour government. >> rebecca, i can see you massively opposing that. >> go on. i just think we have to be so careful when we say things like, certainly when things like, certainly when things are not certain or provable. i understand why you've got to those conclusions, but those are still opinions. you can't say something as certain provable. certain when it's not provable. a economists are saying, a lot of economists are saying, but on this, some are, but focusing on this, some are, some aren't. not certain. some aren't. it's not certain. and of people in the uk, and 71% of people in the uk, according to yougov, do support net now that's not to say net zero. now that's not to say that want zero 2030. that they want net zero by 2030. i of people accept i think a lot of people accept the is an unrealistic the 2030 is an unrealistic stretch goal, 2035 feels reasonable. probably a compromise two 2050 reasonable. probably a conthe mise two 2050 reasonable. probably a conthe tories, two 2050 reasonable. probably a conthe tories, for two 2050 reasonable. probably a conthe tories, for the vo 2050 reasonable. probably a conthe tories, for the for2050 for the tories, 2030 for the for the labour. i think 2040 feels
9:12 pm
reasonable, but the majority of people in this country do want net zero to happen. so there is a reason that both parties are attempting this with a reason that both parties are attenpolicies. this with their policies. >> i there is also a >> i think there is also a reason why when you take opinion polls like that, you get the results like yeah results like that. yeah >> yeah. no, that's exactly i this is the difference this is the key difference between a stated preference and a preference . if you a revealed preference. if you ask people do you carbon ask people do you want carbon net zero? say yes . as if net zero? they'll say yes. as if you could wave a magic wand and bnng you could wave a magic wand and bring about most people, as bring it about most people, as if they understand but if if they understand it. but if you to say, are you happy you start to say, are you happy to on a foreign holiday to never go on a foreign holiday again, or wouldn't be never again, or it wouldn't be never going i mean, are you happy going on? i mean, are you happy to these sacrifice the to make these sacrifice the sacrifices to get to net sacrifices needed to get to net zero very meaningful, and zero are very meaningful, and unless those are into the unless those are built into the question asking whether question simply asking whether you like net zero as a concept doesn't really get, i think perhaps perhaps i trust in perhaps i perhaps i trust in people's intellectual capacity more than you do. >> i think people aren't stupid. >> i think people aren't stupid. >> they don't have to be stupid. they're you want net they're asked, do you want net zero? actually have they're asked, do you want net ze delve actually have they're asked, do you want net ze delve into actually have they're asked, do you want net ze delve into whetherally have they're asked, do you want net ze delve into whether they're e to delve into whether they're willing cost for it. willing to pay the cost for it.
9:13 pm
and terms of is your energy and in terms of is your energy going to get cheaper or not? well, ed miliband thinks it's well, if ed miliband thinks it's going cheaper, don't going to get cheaper, we don't need anything. we need to subsidise anything. we don't government don't need government intervention. the intervention. well, you do the market a way of market will find a way of producing it. >> market will be upfront >> the market will be upfront costs, will provide that. costs, equity will provide that. >> can provide me with >> if you can provide me with cheaper through, cheaper energy through, i don't know something know wind turbines. something else. do it and else. fine. get on and do it and invest in that technology. you're not. >> one of the other points >> not one of the other points though, as well as well. we'll come second. but one come to you in a second. but one of other points that of the other points that miliband does have a miliband is that he does have a track record of the things that he's doing, not coming to he's doing, either not coming to fruition. im not buying it fruition. im not buying into it himself with old electric himself with the old electric car thing, which i believe he now has sorted. that now has actually sorted. that was you know, or was nice of him, you know, or actually polled because actually getting polled because it and it was too expensive and unworkable guy it was too expensive and unworbeile guy it was too expensive and unworbeile off guy it was too expensive and unworbeile off leash. iuy it was too expensive and unworbeile off leash. but could be let off the leash. but look, miliband himself won't look, ed miliband himself won't even how we're going even answer how we're going to deal the and solar interm ittency. intermittency. >> you know what's going to happen the gas power happen if we shut the gas power stations, lights are going stations, the lights are going to this is unachievable. stations, the lights are going tois this is unachievable. stations, the lights are going tois fantasyhis is unachievable. stations, the lights are going tois fantasyhis is unaciandible. stations, the lights are going tois fantasyhis is unaciand it's. it is fantasy nonsense, and it's going taxpayer and going to cost the taxpayer and the the pocket. going to cost the taxpayer and the but the pocket. going to cost the taxpayer and the but this the pocket. going to cost the taxpayer and the but this is:he pocket. going to cost the taxpayer and the but this is thisocket. going to cost the taxpayer and the but this is this is ket. going to cost the taxpayer and
9:14 pm
the but this is this is what >> but this is this is what people fear. i understand that people fear. i understand that people might want labour people might want to vote labour because, well, they might just support but support labour, of course. but they think tories have they also think the tories have been a complete shower and the tories a complete tories have been a complete shower. that is shower. and all of that is absolutely fine. do they absolutely fine. but do they also going to also know that they are going to get what that means get this guy and what that means for bills? for their bills? >> i think that labour >> i mean, i think that labour also track record of when also has a track record of when ed things that also has a track record of when ed feel things that also has a track record of when ed feel terribly things that also has a track record of when ed feel terribly sensible.at don't feel terribly sensible. they him going they stop him from going any further them. hasn't further with them. he hasn't actually done any these actually done any of these things. think they want things. i don't think they want to anybody at moment. i to sack anybody at the moment. i think keeping things think they're keeping things calm not calm and sensible. i'm not suggesting think this is suggesting that. i think this is the solution. big the perfect solution. i'm a big advocate of nuclear power because it is clean it would advocate of nuclear power becau usit is clean it would advocate of nuclear power becau us towards|n it would advocate of nuclear power becau us towards|n it iandd move us towards net zero, and it is option. so we is a very sensible option. so we need be having a sensible need to be having a sensible conversation. what to conversation. but what seems to happen immediately we happen is immediately when we try about it, people try and talk about it, people just go to ignore it all, shut it no sacrifices, it all down. no sacrifices, no compromises. it all down. no sacrifices, no compcleaner. it all down. no sacrifices, no compcleaner air. people want want cleaner air. people want better their children. better lives for their children. people to able to have a people want to be able to have a safe for the future. safe world for the future. >> would you not want do you >> but would you not want do you not reasonable to try not think it's reasonable to try to shut guy who has to shut a guy down who has consistently persistently consistently and persistently floated ideas that consistently and persistently floatebeen ideas that consistently and persistently floatebeen rubbished ideas that consistently and persistently floatebeen rubbished byzas that consistently and persistently floatebeen rubbished by pretty|t have been rubbished by pretty much people?

9:16 pm
view to have from someone who is maybe comfortable most maybe more comfortable than most people know and if we get people you know and if we get a labour government and they do want to ahead with this is want to press ahead with this is it not reasonable to actually say they're going say at some point they're going to look, from to have to look, dorothy from number and say, number 42 in the eye and say, you what, sorry, we made you know what, sorry, we made you know what, sorry, we made you pay you know what, sorry, we made you pay seven grand, by the way. >> rest it >> we subsidise the rest of it for pump. we didn't tell for a heat pump. we didn't tell you put new you that you had to put new radiators in. we didn't tell you that also had to insulate that you'd also had to insulate your didn't you your house. we didn't tell you that. didn't tell you that that. we didn't tell you that when gets to minus six, that when it gets to minus six, that you're still to up you're still going to end up paying you're still going to end up paying a day for your paying £50 a day for your energy. but honestly, we're world leading now. the chinese don't care, i care, i care about the planet, and i care about the difference we can make. >> cannot pressure >> and we cannot put pressure on other countries to do these things if we don't do them ourselves. if we want to see improvement, improvements. mean, a number improvements. conjure nean, a number improvements. conjurenean, that a number to conjure with is that many more hypothermia to conjure with is that many more in hypothermia to conjure with is that many more in iunitedermia in the united in the united kingdom every year than die of climate kingdom every year than die of clima'about climate change kingdom every year than die of clima' lookt climate change kingdom every year than die of clima' lookt

he joins me live with his exclusive insight and you will never believe the response he got to this question today from a woke fire rescue boss. >> unfair advantages white people have in your force. >> basic question but up next, in the head to head, a government report says woke diversity, equality and inclusion schemes are a waste of money and don't work has the relentless focus on diversity been bad for britain? broadcaster benjamin butterworth and youtuber pearl davies? they do battle and that's next. stay tuned
9:20 pm
9:21 pm
9:22 pm
9:23 pm
don't miss lee anderson's blistering takedown of a virtue signalling council chief in parliament. that's coming up. but right now, it's time for our head to head . the scourge of head to head. the scourge of equality, diversity and inclusion training ravaging our institutions. eddie, for short , institutions. eddie, for short, is said to be having little to no impact on reducing prejudice. that's according to a damning new government report. despite local councils spending on edi roles doubling to a staggering £52 million. equalities minister kemi badenoch told the daily telegraph many edi practices, such as diversity training, have not only been proven to be ineffective , they've also been ineffective, they've also been counterproductive. one example is the report about the raf
9:24 pm
focusing on hiring women and ethnic minorities, which led to unlawful positive discrimination against white men. quite literally sacrificing the defence of the realm there. elsewhere, the bbc is splashing out around £600,000 a year on edi training, labour a whopping 1.4 million and the bloated nhs. here we go £13 million on diversity offices and training courses. so what do you think has the relentless focus on diversity and inclusion been bad for britain ? let me know your for britain? let me know your thoughts. email me gb views or gb news. com tweet me at gb news and make sure you go and take part in our poll. the results to follow doing battle follow shortly. but doing battle on broadcaster on this now is broadcaster benjamin butterworth and youtuber pearl davis. and look, i always go ladies first, pearl. i'll start with you. do you think diversity and inclusion and equality has made britain worse? >> i don't think we need these programs , james. we're not we're programs, james. we're not we're not asking for this. you know, i don't you can't eliminate prejudice. you can't put in a
9:25 pm

10:05 pm
migrant crisis importing violent thugs into britain? today was a record breaking day. 450 arrivals. one of those arrivals was stabbed whilst on a boat crossing the channel. gb news filmed the scene as an ambulance arrived at the harbour to meet the lifeboat. so it looks like at least one of the people we've imported into britain today is probably prepared to kill somebody brilliant . fortunately, somebody brilliant. fortunately, the stab victim's injuries are not believed to be life threatening, but we are clearly now importing channel migrants who have armed themselves. as we know, we probably won't be able to deport that person even if we find out who it is. and today, just hours ago, the members of the house of lords voted against the house of lords voted against the rwanda plan again , they want the rwanda plan again, they want to tighten safeguards for channel migrants. what about the safeguards for us? we know violent thugs have come across the channel yeah, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah .
10:06 pm
yeah yeah. >> bucha. yeah. >> bucha. yeah. >> two channel migrants who attacked police on a french beach were jailed. the pair were part of a violent mob who confronted police , threw confronted police, threw missiles at them, tried to beat them up. sally taib abdullah and ahmed omar saleh khater were sentenced at canterbury crown court to a total of two years and two months imprisonment for attempting to arrive in the uk illegally again . they probably illegally again. they probably won't be deported. we know we're importing hardened criminals trained in violence by trafficking gangs , and that is trafficking gangs, and that is before i mentioned the sexual violence that several channel migrants have been accused of today as well. gb news revealed that the cost to the british taxpayer for large scale asylum housing will be £1.2 billion. that's apparently £46 million more than expected, and frankly, £1.2 billion more than it should be.the £1.2 billion more than it should be. the prime minister promised to end the use of migrant hotels. that meant redeveloping large military sites by the end
10:07 pm
of this month . it looks like the of this month. it looks like the home office will have spent at least £230 million on raf scampton and other sites. there's a tragic metaphor in here, isn't there ? we haven't here, isn't there? we haven't got any money to increase defence spending . at the same defence spending. at the same time, we're spending hundreds of millions of pounds packing former military sites with fighting age males from other countries who entered britain illegally . the wethersfield base illegally. the wethersfield base was originally expected to cost £5 million. that's come in at 49 million. we know that channel migrants are not bothered about rwanda. they are laughing at us in rwanda and the people here in the camps just laugh. >> it's become a bit of a joke. the threat hasn't put them off because here thinks because no one here thinks for a second they're back second they're heading back to rwanda. it to the uk. >> despite the blatant facts , >> despite the blatant facts, james cleverly was very vocal about he'd stopped the boats about how he'd stopped the boats over christmas. wasn't well over christmas. wasn't he? well done. today. we've done. there he is today. we've had a record for arrivals this yeah had a record for arrivals this year. one of them is clearly a knife wielding lunatic, and the
10:08 pm
french are just ushering them through these channel migrants do not have to pay human traffickers to come to britain. they could save themselves thousands of pounds by getting on a flight and claiming asylum. when they land here, they want to be undocumented, so we don't know who they are and what they've done in the past. and given that someone was stabbed on a boat today, it's not hard to see why. let's get the thoughts now of my panel . to see why. let's get the thoughts now of my panel. i'm joined this evening by the director of popular conservatives, mark littlewood. i've got businessman and activist i've activist adam brooks, and i've also got author and journalist rebecca reid . mark, are we rebecca reid. mark, are we importing foreign thugs? well i'm not sure we're importing them. >> importing suggests that you kind of, you know, you pay some money and buy something. i import some stuff. they are definitely they're definitely coming bag. coming over. it's a mixed bag. not them are that, but not all of them are that, but some of are that, as you some of them are that, as you pointed and the problem some of them are that, as you pointilook, and the problem some of them are that, as you pointilook, it's1d the problem some of them are that, as you pointilook, it's quite problem some of them are that, as you point! look, it's quite difficult] here, look, it's quite difficult for the to secure for all of for the uk to secure for all of its border. we've got what is
10:09 pm
it, 11,000 miles of coastline, i mean, you'd need sort of a million people to be the coastguard to prevent illegally getting in. the problem is the lack of deterrent effect. and the slowness of the process. when you've made it, it is taking more than six months, in most cases, to process asylum claims, a remarkable number at first instance seem to be successful. we should be able to process these things in, i don't know, maybe 2 or 3 days is a bit optimistic, but something along those and we need to those lines and we need to deport people quickly you can deport people quickly if you can get part of it right, then get that part of it right, then the demand slows. >> today we had a >> well, adam, today we had a record breaking day for the yeah record breaking day for the year. 450 people at year. 450 people arrived at least one those, it appears, least one of those, it appears, is to take a knife to is willing to take a knife to another human being. concerning. >> we've got people coming >> look, we've got people coming from cultures that are very different own , you different from our own, you know, this is dangerous. we've had terrorists , gangsters, had terrorists, gangsters, paedophiles, rapists. now we've just got people that are stabbing people on their way here. i mean , as a parent, we've here. i mean, as a parent, we've got enough nutters in this
10:10 pm
country as it is. i don't want more and as a taxpayer, i don't want to be funding their life on benefits, their free health care , their housing. where are we going to get the houses from 450 today? they're going to want their families over. that number are probably swelled to about 1500. once their families come overin 1500. once their families come over in the next two years. how can this go on? this is a national emergency. the greeks started doing it. the greek authorities started towing back or turning back boats. they were rapped on the knuckles. what's happened to them? nothing. rishi sunak needs to get some balls. if i was the prime minister, i'd be towing them back very safely, very slowly. and i would take the consequences. it's our country. we can do what we want . country. we can do what we want. all right. >> rebecca, there were four stories rolled into today. stories rolled into one today. we've arrivals. we've got the record arrivals. we've got the record arrivals. we've stabbing, we've we've got the stabbing, we've got lords and we've got the got the lords and we've got the cost that's emerged now as well. about £1.2 billion. which one of those most egregious for those is the most egregious for you. do think when we
10:11 pm
you. do you think so when we talk this today when we talk about this today when we were prepping show, i were prepping for the show, i decided going talk decided that i was going to talk to lawyer what to a lefty lawyer about what they thought should do they thought we should do because we about the left because we talk about the left laws because we talk about the left law so because we talk about the left lawso i spoke one and they >> so i spoke to one and they said in their experience, said that in their experience, the issue is that when the major issue is that when they process forms, they try and process the forms, it by people who are it is done by people who are often his words were straight off lidl like off the checkout at lidl like they are people who have they are junior people who have left recently very left school recently with very little them little training. a lot of them are and if your form are tick boxes and if your form goes person who goes in and the person who filled it out, who is on minimum wage has filled out incorrectly, one put back. and one point it gets put back. and every time there's every single time there's a human error in these forms, it starts the processing starts again. so the processing is, said, arduous and is, as you said, arduous and badly so i'm starting badly handled. so i'm starting to think that if this is a national emergency and people in this seem to with this country seem to agree with that, if we can up if we can have the kind response we did have the kind of response we did to we go, okay, this is to covid, we go, okay, this is an emergency. therefore an emergency. so therefore we need doing need thousands more people doing processing to processing and that needs to mean that anybody who is a legitimate seeker can legitimate asylum seeker can stay . and anybody isn't goes stay. and anybody who isn't goes back fine, i get that back the okay, fine, i get that the issue is that we are in a
10:12 pm
situation at the moment where the individual who may or may not be proven to have stabbed this individual on a boat, okay, as it currently stands in our law, we could we could find that person guilty this country of person guilty in this country of that crime. >> and they are from >> and if they are from essentially country essentially any other country other than somewhere in western europe, be europe, we still will not be able to them able to send them back. >> that's right. and it's tricky to people back when there to send people back when there aren't know, of aren't really, you know, part of aren't really, you know, part of a coherent system. i do think that the burden should be on the asylum seeker themselves to fill out these forms, but they won't be because it benefits them to keep. >> if you if i wanted to stay in this country , i'd do the form this country, i'd do the form wrong every time. >> yeah, but but that shouldn't be a free pass. yeah, but the word should to the form word should is to get the form properly filled out. if you can't do then not can't do that, then it's not a proper claim. >> you just said really >> you just said it's really important just important that we can't just send to send send people. it's hard to send people back. >> them but this is >> send them back. but this is what leave what you actually need to leave echr, the echr, i think. but the difficulty get the difficulty we won't get the rwanda policy properly, rwanda policy working properly, but be symbolic rather but you will be symbolic rather than else, but you lose but you will be symbolic rather tilot else, but you lose but you will be symbolic rather tilot leaving.se, but you lose but you will be symbolic rather tilot leaving.se, blechr. lose
10:13 pm

10:16 pm
palestine. more of that and when i reveal more of tomorrow's newspaper front pages. but next, damning new figures reveal that 1 in 5 muslim prisoners in england and wales is white. amid growing fears that islamist gangs are behind a surge in conversions. it's even claimed that some prisoners now have their own sharia societies. the author of a government report, colin bloom, joins me live is patrick christys tonight we're on
10:17 pm
10:18 pm
10:19 pm
10:20 pm
gb news. all right. welcome back. the first of tomorrow's newspaper front pages coming up. but time now to dig into startling revelations that 1 in 5 muslim prisoners is now white, sparking fears that islamist gangs are behind a surge in forced conversions behind bars. ministry of justice data shows there were nearly 16,000 muslim prisoners in england and wales in september last year, accounting for 18% of all inmates. crucially, nearly 20% of those inmates were white. that's three times the rate of the general muslim population . the general muslim population. it follows a report two years ago by jonathan hall kc, the independent reviewer of terror legislation , that muslim legislation, that muslim terrorists were setting up shana terrorists were setting up sharia courts behind bars because prison staff were so concerned about being accused of racism. milly dowler, murderer levi bellfield and the soham killer ian huntley have both notoriously converted to islam in prison, and the duke of marlborough famously said he
10:21 pm
became muslim in jail because apparently you get more food, but meanwhile, another review apparently you get more food, but last|nwhile, another review apparently you get more food, but last yearle, another review apparently you get more food, but last yearle, colin er review apparently you get more food, but last yearle, colin bloom ew apparently you get more food, but last yearle, colin bloom ,/ apparently you get more food, but last yearle, colin bloom , a led last year by colin bloom, a government adviser, found that failure to identify as a muslim meant that at best, the new prisoner would be denied protection from violent muslims. but there is a lot more to it than that. and here to discuss this, joined by the man this, i'm joined by the man himself, former government himself, the former government adviser thank you adviser colin bloom. thank you very bad is the very much. and how bad is the problem islamist conversion ? problem of islamist conversion? now i want to make that distinction, obviously, between islam and islamist conversion in prisons. what does it really mean? >> well, look, want to start >> well, look, i want to start by saying that is some very good practice in prisons and there are some very, very good chaplains. and in the work that i did for my review, i did identify some excellent practice. but there is also , i practice. but there is also, i think, fair to say that a number of prisons there are very large and aggressive , islamist gangs, and aggressive, islamist gangs, if you want to put it like that, a muslim majority gangs where
10:22 pm
they will. evidence was given to me and my review where korans were put on the bed of incoming inmates , with the very clear inmates, with the very clear indication convert or get hurt. and it was a way of coercing people to say, you know, if you want to be protected in prison, then you've got to convert and become part of our gang. now, prisons are closed and high pressure environments by nature , pressure environments by nature, they're closed environments, and you could imagine that a number, you could imagine that a number, you know, for very many people who are either susceptible to gang culture or, are vulnerable in one way or another, will feel that pressure to convert. and in my report that was published last year, one of the very clear recommendations was that government , have an urgent government, have an urgent inquiry into or an urgent review into this notion of forced conversions, because not only doesit conversions, because not only
10:23 pm
does it damage the human rights of the prisoners that are in there , but actually the there, but actually the consequences are that very many of them could become radicalised. >> and then we'll go, well, that's my next question. really. how big a how big a problem is it for people going into the british system, prison system and coming out more radical than they were when they went in or radicalising others while they're in there? >> well, look, honestly, i think the majority of people that are, so—called converted when they go into prison, they are doing it as a matter of convenience or convenience. and you mentioned, lee rigby , the duke of lee rigby, the duke of marlborough. was it or someone? >> yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah , you >> yeah. yeah, yeah, yeah, you know, maybe that was just convenient and i don't think that it was a genuine it clearly not a genuine , conversion. but not a genuine, conversion. but for others who feel that there's maybe a sense of grievance, they've got some anger towards society. they are looking for an excuse to justify their, you know, perhaps the reasons why they've been put in prison ,
10:24 pm
they've been put in prison, maybe for some of them, they want to change their life. they want to change their life. they want to change their life. they want to start again. this is a new beginning with a new faith. and they'll be very eager and we know that for very many converts, particularly to converts, particularly to converts to, a particular form of islamism, that they become some of the worst extremists because they feel they've got something to prove. >> i mentioned him there. i meant to mention his killers, actually, lee rigby's killers. obviously, some of the most notorious islamists in the country have been prison now country have been in prison now for quite some time. so they're in there. what about sharia courts in prisons? what's going on there? >> well, it's again , it's part >> well, it's again, it's part of that gang culture that does exist. and i think that whether it's the ministry of justice, whether it's individual , prison whether it's individual, prison chaplains or , or or the, the chaplains or, or or the, the prison management, they do need to get a grip of that gang culture that that exists because there will be some people who ,
10:25 pm
there will be some people who, for whatever reason, feel that they are going to get either protected if they join a gang or they are going to get hurt. if they are going to get hurt. if they don't , join a gang. and they don't, join a gang. and that was some of the evidence that was some of the evidence that we received during the evidence gathering process of my report , was that for very many report, was that for very many people, they felt under enormous pressure when they when they went to prison. now if you're a prisoner, you go into prison within 24 hours. you have a statutory right to be visited by the by one of the chaplains, one of the, either the, the managing chaplain or one of the supportive chaplains , and we supportive chaplains, and we find that prisons are actually a much more religious place than the rest of society. more people have a faith if they're in prison than, than not. but even by the standards of the most amazing, you know, revivals of religious conversions, there is something going on in prisons because we are seeing the most incredible number of people
10:26 pm
converting, particularly to , to converting, particularly to, to islam in a way that is defies logic. and i think one of the things that we need to ensure that prison chaplains and prison management have is that inquiring mind to say, just what the heck is going on here? you know, this this doesn't seem right. and to perhaps have some professional cynicism as to exactly why it's going on and to help the prisoners that they've got from making big mistakes, okay. >> well , look, okay. >> well, look, thank you very, very much for coming on. we are out of time, unfortunately, now. but i would love to have you back on at some point in the very near future, actually, to continue this discussion, because an issue because i know it's an issue that a lot of our that myself, a lot of our viewers listeners do viewers and listeners do care about deeply. so that's colin bloom former bloom there. he's the former government adviser ministry government adviser and ministry of said this, of justice spokesman said this, attributing to the attributing these figures to the influence of muslim gangs will be based on be misleading and based on wholly evidence. do wholly anecdotal evidence. we do not forced religious not tolerate forced religious conversions those conversions in prisons and those found in such behaviour found engaging in such behaviour face punishments.
10:27 pm
face tough punishments. i imagine that might be quite refuted by colin there. but anyway, coming up at university of bristol, students use tablets and barricade and chairs to barricade themselves onto campus in a pro—palestine, protest free free palestine. more of that next. but first, i will have all of tomorrow's newspaper front pages in my press pack. you dare in my press pack. don't you dare move!
