[ April 23, 2024 ]
Recently there have been various street rallies in the UK with various themes, for instance one in Bristol against FGM, very large rallies organised by the Football Lad’s Alliance against terrorism. I’ve attended several of these and met a group of people including Anne Marie Waters, and many very diverse others, from all walks of life. One reason why I keep going is because all the people you meet are such lovely, brave, well informed, independent-minded people. Many or most of them have already lost friends over their views.
We have just found out that one of these people, ‘Hazel Brown’, is in fact, an undercover journalist from a company called Hardcash Productions, run by a David Henshaw, making a programme for ITV. She has been secretly recording us, using a hidden camera, including private conversations in the pub, for months. ITV is broadcasting a programme on Nov 9 ‘Exposure Undercover: Inside Britain’s Far Right’. I understand that the programme is to be chaired by Nick Lowles, of the group Hope not Hate.
So, ITV think that people who are holding peaceful rallies and exercising their right of political protest, who are concerned that the rule of law is not being applied in e.g. cases of FGM, who are concerned about the many women and girls in this country who suffer under sharia courts, who want the government to do more about terrorism, and so on, merit having an undercover journalist recording their conversations and being labelled ‘far right’.

I understand that the programme intends to focus on Anne Marie Waters, Jack Buckby, and on another person who has apparently been caught making some very off-colour remarks. (I must say that if that is the case, I have never heard anyone from the people I have met on such rallies making any hateful or racist comments. Otherwise I would not go. Of course any such remarks are unacceptable.) Of course what these ‘journalists’ are doing is waiting, waiting, waiting, until out of a vast crowd, some young person, drunk or excited, makes some off colour remark. It appears they are going to include this in the programme. Ignoring hours and hours of footage and conversations with people whom ‘Hazel’ knows full well are not racist, are not extremist, are not far right. What does this even mean any more? It’s such a betrayal. As one young man said, ‘I shared a plate of chips with her!’ I wonder if ITV will refund him for half a plate of chips.
There are many issues of great concern. This can only have a chilling effect on people’s freedom to express their political views in public. Our democracy essentially allows that we all have the freedom to express our views in public without hiding our identities. It is already the case that people are worried about expressing concerns about Islamic ideology and sharia law. Now they have to worry that an undercover journalist might be spying on them, not when they are having some clandestine meeting in the back room of some shady office, but when they are right out there in the street, when they should be free.
The ‘reporter’ followed people to the pub on more than one occasion, staying there for hours. This was a disparate group of people who just happened to meet up on such rallies. How is it acceptable, that citizens of a free country, having a drink in a bar, are being recorded by some sleazy journalist hoping to catch some juicy bits?
The National Union of Journalist’s code of conduct only permits undercover investigations where material cannot be found in any other way and where it is ‘overwhelmingly’ in the public interest. Likewise, Ofcom, which regulates television broadcasters, have rules governing privacy, restricting undercover investigations unless they are in the public interest, and rules about fairness. So was it necessary to record us secretly? Far from being a secretive group, demonstrations are live streamed on YouTube, and there are plenty of interviews with individuals already up on YouTube. For instance a very lovely young woman Jonaya Fenessa-English is making lots of recordings and there’s interviews and live streaming under the British Federation of Truth YouTube channel. We are not secretive. We do not cover our faces at rallies. We actually want to have our views heard. How is it acceptable to record us secretly? Why not speak to us? Why not ask us, ‘have you come across any racists? Have you come across anyone with hateful views? If so, what have you done about it?’ There’s nobody I’ve met who would tolerate any hint of racism or hatred against groups or individuals.
Of course if you followed many groups of people and recorded them secretly, over the course of time, you’d find one or two people spouting horrible things. But does that then justify having spied on them?
The whole premise of this, is that of course anyone with worries about Islamic ideology must be under suspicion of being far right, so it’s fair game to investigate. This is just terrible bias. And worse.
Now anyone who attended any of these political events is liable to the slur of being ‘far right’ as the title of the programme suggests. Far from being ‘far right’, very many of the people I met aren’t even ‘right’ – there are many former Labour party members who were there because they feel their political views have stayed the same – wishing for equal rights and equality before the law for all – while the world has gone mad around them. There are various groups who are currently expressing concerns – including for instance, Gays Against Sharia, who have to put up with being called ‘far right’. They just don’t want to be thrown off tall buildings. Hardly an extremist position.
But being labelled ‘far right’ has consequences. There will be an implication that anyone associated with this group is an extremist. Some people are in fear of losing their jobs. Worse, being labelled ‘far right’ may put individuals in actual danger. One activist from Bristol, ‘Annie the Greek’, who runs a group called ‘British and Immigrants Against Terrorism’, a slight woman, was beaten to a pulp recently at an anarchist book fair for being outed as a ‘fascist’. This is frightening stuff.
There is a great deal of undercover journalism some of which may be justified, for instance if criminals are being investigated. But there is a strong reason why it’s wrong to carry out this kind of undercover journalism on people who are attending a political demonstration. It is our right to demonstrate. The whole point of demonstrations is to allow freedom of expression, without fear. Thanks to ITV, that is now gone. This will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression. Anyone who views this programme will think twice about going to a demo.
And there’s more. I understand that Anne Marie Waters will be a focus of the programme. She is just launching a new party – For Britain. And Nick Lowles from Hope not Hate, I am told, is commentator. But Hope Not Hate have material on Anne Marie’s new party which is highly critical and clearly biased.
Broadcasters, according to the Ofcom Broadcasting Code, are meant to be impartial, accurate, and fair. How on earth can it be impartial to broadcast a programme focusing on the leader of a new political party, with commentary from a member of a group which has already clearly demonstrated that it is biased against that party and its leader? Could they not find someone neutral? How can this be in compliance with the Broadcasting Code? It looks like a manifest attempt to quash a new party in its infancy.
This is not democracy. This is like having the Stasi spy on us as we walk the streets of Britain and chat to our friends in the pub. Shame on you, ITV. You need to seriously consider if you are breaching the broadcasting code.

Brainwashed Brits elected Pro-islam Left/Liberal “leaders” what do they expect ? AND its patriots who raise/expose the jihadi crimes are hounded out.
Its like all rights and freedom are to be given to Muslims and non-muslims do not have any rights as dhimmis ! And Left/liberal pro-jihadi loons allow it !
Infidels do not even have right to protest against crimes committed by Muslims . If they dare try it they get harassed, jailed or killed http://bit.ly/2r6F3cp
Do not criticise muslims , criticise the politicians and their flawed immigration policies , discrimination based on religion against non-muslims. failure to protect and prosecute rape gangs .
And if they call you “racist” “right wing” call them “islamonazis” and those who try to shut you down as “fascists”. organise , educate and resist. Avoid street protest against muslims , they are not the real problem , the pro-islam policies of parties is the real problem.

Actually the regime in UKistan are doing a great stealth anti-Jihad job.
Despite all their talk of “hate crimes”, no-one is prosecuted for distributing the most hate-inciting violence-inciting document in history. The perfect quran is allowed to be freely distributed on all uk high streets. Mohammed-worshippers are insufficiently bright to understand that their perfect quran is Islam’s greatest own goal. The more copies that are out there, the harder it gets for anyone with IQ above single figures to continue as a believer.
Hence the fastest growing faith, namely Ex-Muslim, will only grow even faster.

Could you post your home address here and I’ll then get the Home Sec to send you a letter confirming whether that sentence is a hate crime or not. If you’re not a uk resident they can get an extradition order on you.

There isn’t a Main Street in Luton uk. There are almost no “Main Street”s in the entire uk, and mostly they are country lanes where no-one lives. Anyway Disqus are passing on your IP address so all you need to do now is choose whether to open your door yourself or have it opened for you. Merry Akbar!

The muzrats really do have childlike simple minds. To believe the crap that make up the Islamic (un)holy teachings are just pathetic and surely an intelligent Muslim is just a contradiction.

ITV(Independent television) the really only serious choice to the trash that is the BBC. IMO their stocks have badly plummeted here and it looks like they have totally stepped onto the MSM leftist bandwagon. What is it about these fools? have they no eyes or ears? Can they NOT think for themselves?

Everything in this article is sound, but…
My impression is that a high proportion of the population of UKistan no longer believe the fake media and that especially propaganda efforts like this one backfire. You do have to be considerably dim not to perceive the underlying purpose to try to demonise Anne-Marie and that Nick Lowles of Hate-and-Hope is far more of a hatemonger than any of those whom he slanders.

If you consider ITV biased, watch BBC! they are slightly to the left of uncle Joe Stalin. I don’t think anyone at the BBC knows the meaning of ‘impartial!’ We have an expression here, Is that true, or did you see it on the BBC?

‘there are many former Labour party members who were there because they

rights and equality before the law for all – while the world has gone mad around them’ –
They voted for the Labour Party, they voted for political correctness and mass uncontrolled immigration, they got what they voted for.
Many people have been targeted by Antifa in the last ten years.

The major road block to that is that Islam unfortunately gets put in the category of “religion”…but not in the “cultish” sense which it should be…like the Wicca, Satanic worship, Scientology, Jim Jones Peoples Temple—and, to “discriminate” against Islam (a major world “religion”) violates “freedom of religion”…and we are left w/ picking through it’s sordid teachings, customs, laws to say what violates our laws–often “after the fact.” US should at least ban Sharia law and, UK has to shut down all Sharia courts of law. True Islam really can’t exist w/o Sharia law.

Psychology researchers worked that out decades ago. Basically both are in the business of FORCING their worldview on you. The precise details of the worldview thereupon become rather trivial by comparison.

This is what fascists like Hazel Brown and her ITV liberal controllers do. They go out and seek the minority of people who’ve been abused by the police and the system and speak out about the injustice. Anything to move their narrative forward so they can seem to be supporting the cause that they prefer. Their short sited attempt to promote won’t help them when the caliphate comes to the UK

As one who is prepared to speak up for Pakistani Christians being persecuted in Britain, the rights of any white non muslim woman to dress and walk where she pleases day or night in her country, the right of Gays to be Gay as long as they leave children alone, the rights of our service personnel to a better deal while following the colours and after, the right to decide a whole lot of things which affect our prosperity and security including supporting Britain’s Jewish population, I have no problem with being called any aspect of “right” they like, we’re just right.

I really hope people can see straight through this, after all people are starting to wake up, they might not say it out loud but they’re just as deeply concerned as we all are, iv never witnessed so much of a massive change to our country as I have the last few year and I am not liking it one bit. Normal people living in the real world that’s all we are.

On the subject of female genital mutilation, such is the terror in politically correct, cowardly Britain of offending its two largest ethnic groups, Muslim and black African, that this is the disgraceful situation:- medical staff working in England’s National Health Service recorded
close to 5,500 cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) in 2016, but NO ONE has been successfully prosecuted since the practice was made illegal over 30 years ago. Whereas neighbouring France has guts: it has made more than 100 successful high profile prosecutions.

Paula – great post, but back up a step. How do you know anyone on your side made any off-color remarks?
Those ‘off-color’ remarks could be a nut job’s thoughts … but they could be plants. The Left is Cruel, Evil, and above all – LIars – they will plant people to smear you.
So don’t own any of them – until the Left proves that it is not one of their own Rent-a-Racists …
