Anyone know what he is going on about and why this is suddenly worth a speech at 5:45 on a Friday night?

    I agree with some of the things he said regarding extremism, but what an utterly bizarre, random statement to make.

    Presumably brought on by the election of Galloway, but he’ll be gone at the next general election and he hardly ever goes to parliament anyway. So whilst he’s an odious crank, it’s just a random by-election result that doesn’t mean a great deal.

    He mentioned the October 7th attacks but not one word about the 30000+ killed by Israel. Not one word about the humanitarian catastrophe nor the reason why people are protesting, overwhelmingly peacefully.

    Prelude to declaring a state of emergency and cancelling the general election.

    I saw a news alert saying conference coming up and thought it might be declaring the election. I watched it live and was equally like what the fuck was the point of that. I swear he doesn’t more time talking about Islamic extremism than anything else, but mostly saying nothing at all and offering no new solutions or anything. I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking we just was the point of it
