Get the young Labour mp back on so you can be as polite and respectful to her.
And give her a full apology
👍Her name is Zara Sultana MP
If you're going to post about her, at least know her name.
She is asleep!😊
Yeah I agree. She is only one of a few left in Starmer's Labour that are actually socialists.
The two hosts are a disgrace to journalism. Completely biased- they have shown their true colours when speaking completely over Zarah Sultana.
? What are you on about?
They were completely patronsing to Zarah. Really poor behaviour.
That's called the M,,,O,,S,,S,,A,,D PAY cheque, spewing the biased and expedient emphasis on selective semantics, cleverly skewed to bamboozle the gullible and the simpletons, trust me, the ppl are awakening, and they're not going back to deep slumber anytime soon.
@@justadude1443You know exactly what! They were despicable
@@justadude1443 I watched this vid but don't see or hear Zarah Sultana in it anywhere so what the heck is everyone on about .
I hope you guys watched yourselves interviewing Zara Sultana and will reflect on it. Regardless of the complaints to Ofcom, as a white more than middle aged christian bloke, I really wanted to hear Ms Sultana's perspective on the riots, that were focussed on our muslim neighbours, as a representative in parliament. She was talked over and demeaned and apart from being frustrated at not being able to listen her I was embarrassed about how she was treated. Then compare it to how you interviewed your WIFE.
This is how Zara should have been treated with calm interest and empathy. The interview of Zara was shocking and definitely raises the question if Ed's is Islamophobic
@@happydays4302 he is def puppeteering for his pay lords, plenty of A,,R,,S,,? kissing is the order of the day, his body language between the 2 different dialogues (if you can possibly refer it as that with Zara) tells all.
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
**ZaraH**.. Her name is NOT somehow INTERCHANGEABLE, or belonging to you, just because you think you understand an issue, you really actually don't..🙄
@@user-hr2gl5im4b ?? sorry did i miss the 'q' here, i don't know if the response was a direct result of what i posted, can you please clarify? Thanks
So, Ed and Kate, why weren't you that polite and respectful to your MP guest, Zara? Your so-called journalism is a disgrace
The more news outlets the fewer real journalists , too many "presenters" sitting on their arses looking pretty and smug .
I agree!
There are no journalist anymore, and that subversive guy is to young to be in the NF. He is a total bs'er. The NF finished in 79 when he was 7 years old.
kate has always given me this fake vibe,and gets offended when race is bought up. She would not look out of place rioting with those far right thugs,that's her type of people.
They were nice to Zara, it was HER with the attitude!
❤ that African wear of the former police man
Maam Boafo, it is cute right ? and he is handsome too. Its giving Wakanda forever energy
All four of the hyena pack that went after Zarah should be sacked.
Far stronger medicine than that i would say, they need to be exposed to where their donors/financial backers are, their connections, and all their dodgy dealings with all and sundry, so then they cannot escape public scrutiny
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Have you apologised to Zarah Sultana yet?
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Why are these two mediocre interviewers still presenting?
Why are you still watching it ?
Far right...
Far right didn't do 7/7
Far right didn't do Westminster Bridge
Far right didn't do London bridge
Far right didn't do David ames
Far right didn't do lee Rigby
Far right didn't do Rochdale, telford ot Nottingham
Far right didn't do Manchester Arena.
Far right doesn't cost 8 million a day in hotels
it's called 'The mother of lies and deception requires an equal measure of a soothing syrup' to perpetuate and sustain an unceasing spell upon the Gullible and the simpletons.
Public apology to Zara Sultana required, why don't you two do it?
😂
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Can't have been easy for the ex policeman there. He was basically between two worlds and not accepted by either.
So sad! 😇
He was a "black" officer at the height of when "black" communities were constantly saying the police were racist (we STILL say it).
As a 15yo boy I was beaten by white officers and dragged off by a black officer singing "Swinging in de trees".
I for one STILL wait for arrests to be made for the New Cross Fire.
He long ago traded his "Black" card for a warrant card and he knows it.
You either understand our contempt or you dont, it matters not.
@@nealmiller1528I truly hear you and understand your contempt but there was also the counter argument. If more POC were in the force there would have been more protection and voices from within to challenge the system. Criticising black and brown people who joined, who possibly wanted to protect and be a voice for ALL was tantamount to allowing the institutional racism to flourish.
I hope life has been far better for you since back then.
@@nealmiller1528 Nowhere near the height of police racism. At least MOST of them now have changed. Can you imagine the open racism before you were born?
He at least was trying to make a difference.
What are you doing to help?
Kate apologising to Ed, when it was he who interrupted her 😐
Eve, Sad innit ! this is how we raise girls.
Like a passive wife 😬
kate monopolized the interview. Symptomatic you didn’t notice that.
Get rid of these two.
👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾
Those 2 turn my stomach. Horribly biased
Another one on the wrong side of history ^.
Why are these two hosts not held accountable for the way they interviewed zara?
The rioters are not in my name this is not helping our country it’s hindering it
Right wing media is now blaming the Russians for making them do it.....LOOOL

I'm the second generation immigrants here. When we came our parents couldn't speak English, we do for going to school. Our kids the third generation can't speak mother tongue at all and they don't eat much traditional food, but all goes to university. To enable good grades we parents give them some after school private paid tuition in maths and science and lot more.
Kate and Ed, you like many people who have been rioting have taken of your mask, we see you for what you are
This reminds me of something ni read several years ago about ku klux clan in America. There an ex member said he realised how wrong he had been, misled and had closed mindset/view when the views on people with disabilities were being discussed ope8 one time. He had a 10 Yr old disabled daughter who he loved very much. That was his epiphany moment.
On behalf of every single Irishman I'd like to apologise for the National Front.🏴☠️
Totally unbiased from the husband of the home secretary
The two host's are truly two faced biased and disrespectful shame on the chanell
Can’t believe that in 2024 we’re even discussing this or even conversating about hate and color of a persons skin. Madness

Groupthink, peer pressure, the 'false security' offered by gangs - there's plenty of research out there on cult membership.
Why are they so nice now?
They're not nice, they're playing nice. They have been informed by producers that the public aren't happy with their handling of this subject.
Perhaps they learned something. It would be nice if they asked Zara back to apologise publicly
Matt Collins was clueless, litrally just blaimed the tories 😂😂
You owe zara an apology
BOTH THESE ' PRESENTERS' ARE SIMPLY PUPPETS.
Can't understand why people are attacking this interview. It is a really good interview. There should be more of this, not the toxicity that the media has spread over the last 14 years.
Because you are.being mislead
It's a great interview, when it doesn't fit their narrative they dismiss it 😂

My Mrs has turned the other way after being sensor from a FB group of 11,000 for asking them why they were deleting some posts and not others. She was told they were racist, inflammatory and islamophic, my Mrs didn't read it as that and thought they were exaggerating things, virtual signal and looking for offence. She asked why don't they have dialogue and understand that two people can have different perceptions and views of the same situation, they then deleted her question and banned her. She literally turned to me and said 'I was one of those 11,000 before that only agree with the crowd, partly because I thought everyone thought the same, we were in the right, now I realise any disagreement gets silenced and banned.
Silencing, ignoring, banning and deleting different points of view, dialogue, tolerance and not wanting to understand builds resentment, anger and division.
Thats where we are now unfortunately
media is complicit in all the tensions, and never forget that. these lot should be held accountable.
Facists don’t like libraries, hahah well said mate 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are just showing your ignorance of history.
whats a woman mate? can you give me the dictionary definition?
@@malcolmstockbridge2569 What history are you thinking of? I'm not trying to pick a fight, am interested. But I can suggest some history that supports the OP's claim: the Nazis burned books in large numbers. It was called an auto da fe.
more communist countries burned books than fascist countries.
@@JohnMoseley Research the kind of books that were burnt. The lefties don't tell you that part of the story!
This was a compelling interview but I have to agree that the time given to these guests to provide their insight should also have been afforded to Ms Sultana. I didn't like the way that panel the other day sniggered her at all. This was a far better interview. He rightly called out the racism and xenophobia of the past 14 years in addition to what he did in the 80s and they found it easier to listen to.
It's upsetting for our kids who are born here the 2nd 3rd generation British born. They are absolutely confused. They have been brought up culturally British, more then their Asian heritage. As this is the culture and environment they are brought up in. And the bubble we have brought them up in....has now been burst. How do we start to prepare them, what do we prepare them for.... So so sad.
Many, many people have been trying to protect the next generation from this racist savagery for years. It may be an uphill battle, but I believe that we've succeeded in bringing up a generation who view racial hatred as an embarrassing and shameful 'throw back' to the late 20th Century, and an irrelevance to the challenges which they'll face in this one. The (big) problem has been the harnessing of online life by white supremacists with unlimited funds, and the opportunistic politicians who sniff at their coat tails. In combination, they've managed to make ethno-nationalism 'fashionable' once again - and it's no coincidence that this occurs at a time in which the last of the WW2 veterans and Holocaust victims are passing away. There has been a poisonous, fatal inversion dripped into people's minds over the last 15 or so years that perhaps the war was won by 'the wrong side', that 'race' and 'nationality' are synonymous, and that 'patriotism' is a necessary bulwark against progress, national growth and personal development in a rapidly changing world.
I'm (guardedly) optimistic that the terrible recent events will have galvanised and lent courage to thousands of 'silent' anti-racists. Our voices have never been in greater need.
And that’s how anger rises. A man in fear is more dangerous than a man who’s abusing. I just hope to God this doesn’t create any monsters.
This is how I feel I have been brought up in this country for over 50years we are not accepted here we grew u being called pakis we are more British than Pakistani but the people here don't make us feel as if we belong .
have they been though? because there was that poll done a few years ago that showed uk born muslims, nearly all of them felt being gay is an unacceptable life choice, and over half think being gay should be a crime. so these people are "being raised british" to you?
@ge2719 hey , what's does the bible sayssssssssss?? As a Christian I agree with there sentiments , if you could please use another example.
Let's have an expose on who funds hope not hate and how truly hateful they are as an organisation yeah!!? Crickets......

Its great that he changed. Well done
Get rid of Rupert Murdoch hateful papers, and all will be well.
I don't know what to really say about Collins for expressing himself and realising his wrongdoings - if this was genuine and heartfelt - obviously fair play to him and he's paid for his crimes, but sadly in this world - when you have a track-record of violent behaviour or you aligned with the likes of the NF or the EDL, you get a bad reputation, but it can only be faded and near enough cleared if time has passed and you realised the wrongdoings and never go back to that kind of life.
I mean the last 7-10 days at least has been an absolute disgrace - I would argue that last week has been one of the worst weeks for the UK. The public are really mad at how things went off in Southport, and are further angered in terms of the way these riots have happened where a minority are taking it out on the wrong communities based on lies and misinformation, and the behaviour has been inappropriate and a disrespect to those in Southport and the victims of that horrific attack.
There isn't need for that thuggery behaviour, and despite what we all think of the police forces or the government regardless of party, the one thing that I think we all agree with is that we want our streets and our livelihoods being safe for everybody - regardless of characteristics or origins.
Excellent comment!
I couldn’t agree more! 💯
GMB did a near-identical interview with this exact same guy, 6 years ago. But they're happy to give him a voice again. They love to make a certain type of terrorist seem salvageable. Look how studiously they refrain from interrupting him (compared to screaming at the MP, Zara Sultana, and denying Islamophobia).
yeah and "hope not hate" have be spreading lies the entire time, causing division and hatred that has resulted in violence. This guy went from being a fascist of the right to a fascist on the left because he realized the left are easier to trick and gain power for himself.
This is what the UK needs to hear more of. Instead of labelling normal non violent them far right thugs. We need to talk about this and find the truth of the matter.
Vanny, there are non violent far rights too. You love cliches.

Thinking that anyone who calls people far right only mean working class is really dumb because racism is classless.

This guy was stomping the heads of Asian women in a government building with a hammer?……. And they put him on the news? not in jail?
Two great guests, with enough life experience between them to make some of the positive changes that our country needs - if only they're listened to. Matt Collins, in particular, has been on a remarkable life journey, and yet his organisation is defamed, misrepresented and insulted a hundred times a day by fascist cowards in their online whispering campaigns.
Matt Collins is a former member of Combat 18, who admits in this video to stamping on the heads of Asian women. Why in the name of God would anyone want to listen to a word he says? I too was subjected to very similar violence from NF supporters at the age of 16 - in my case the reason being antisemitism - and while these stories of redemption and "journeys" may appeal to naive Guardian readers, my view is that he cannot be trusted. I don't believe him, but if he has words of wisdom to impart he should do it in private and not in the limelight of a television studio.
@@simonzonenblick395Why would anyone want to listen to what he says? Because it could reach others who think like he once did. Ask him yourself, he would probably understand where you’re coming from.
@@honved1 The last time I listened to someone like him I ended up nearly hospitalized, so I think I'll give it a miss.
When are people going to have an open and honest conversation about peoples issues instead of people just saying the other person is wrong.

These two need to be sacked for the way they treated Zarah Sultana.
Apologies to zarah sultana
This story on the surface sounds lovely but seems to me the dude might have moved from one violent protest and action group to another. These so called anti-fascists and fascist have a revolving door and the shared methods of doxing and making lists is extremely worrying.
This man just as much as Tommy has the States shadow all over him.
I do hope they are both sincere and start looking for positive programs of legislative change to help cohesion rather than shore up reified groups into ongoing inevitable Left/Right/Left/Right totalitarian twostep.
These 2 should have at least, been suspended, while their conduct was investigated, after their shameful, biased treatment of Zara Sultana. The fact that they faced no disciplinary procedures, shows the lack of accountability in our media! Interesting to watch their calm, considered treatment of an ex-racist, compared to their treatment of Sultana!
❤❤❤ love to his vulnerability
Matt's story shows that even the worst of people are capable of turning a new leaf.
I don't know if other comments have mentioned, they probably have but honestly I haven't checked - Stephen Graham starred in a show called 'The Walk In' as Matthew Collins. Excellent TV.
After how these two interviewers treated Zara Sultana, HOW are they still on air?? How are they given the right to discuss racism when their conduct begged the question of their own attitude towards black and brown injustice. Kate's 'oo's' and 'ahh's mean nothing here.
We should stop the wars and they can return to their countries peacefully let’s keep the world peaceful and love

The NF were at its hight in the 80s winning council seats in Barking and Dagenham and yes for a few decades way back in the 70s I remember hearing about of the bashing Pakistanis gangs they were roaming London. Majeed Newaz talks about Combat 18 in Southend attacking him because of his skin. But Ska was also at its peek in the 80s, the two-tone revolution. Musical heroes for the kids with black and white band members. I didn't like the fashion, but it was still a good thing wasn't it?
The BNP were the rebranding of the NF, and they were historically the absolute first group to state there were Muslim grooming gangs. It was the Muslim Council of Britain who countered what the BMP said by saying it was all racist Islamophobia and untrue. The government sided with the MCB in that debate and called those children as making life choices.
I think we are still suffering from that Government decision to cover up the crimes that were upheld in a theology as permissible acts. Mass migration doesn't just feature that religious theocracy. There are the drug gangs coming over for drug selling, and the mass uneducated who drive down resource opportunities as a supply versus demand issue.
There are a lot of pros and cons that are behind the recent riots which I think the media are ignoring like the Goverment did over grooming.
Ska and two tone was fantastic. Hope it makes a comeback
"There's nothing else to do." I don't even know where to start. We are so incredibly fortunate in this country that there is so much to do on our doorsteps for free. Libraries are free to join and use, you can take out as many books as you like and use the internet for free. You can walk and explore your local area, volunteer to help with some good cause, or even, and I know this is a radical idea to some, get a job and contribute to society. I don't think people realize the sheer scale of museums and art galleries that are free of charge to use, and even entertainment within the home such as tv and radio is positively kaleidoscopic in range compared to when people were growing up in widespread deprivation a century or so ago. When I think of the lives of my grandparents and many of their generation, I can't imagine what they would think to hear someone bemoaning the supposed hardships of today's youth, with the expensive clothes and smartphones they possess.

Mass migration in general, not just illegal migration. Don't pretend that being colonised and replaced is good as long as it's because the state gives out millions of visas rather than them encouraging illegal immigration.
