00:00 Congratulations, John!
00:02 Thank you very much.
00:04 Well, they don't like democracy when it comes out wrong for them.
00:12 It's no wonder that he's alarmed, because he didn't just not only beat me,
00:19 he was beaten soundly by even an unknown independent candidate
00:25 that nobody in the media or the political class had ever heard of before.
00:29 So Rishi Sunak's party was comprehensively crushed,
00:34 just not as comprehensively crushed as Keir Starmer's party.
00:38 So they're panicking a bit, and of course they're dragging out the old whipping boys.
00:44 And the whipping boys in Britain for the political class and for most of the media
00:50 are Britain's Muslim population.
00:52 It's just a lie. I mean, I don't know what else I can say about it.
00:57 I don't know if anyone was arrested in the entire campaign,
01:02 except for the one who was arrested ripping down my banners.
01:06 It's just a lie.
01:08 And moreover, it is a lie for a patently transparent purpose,
01:14 to deflect attention from the fact that for the first time ever in British political history,
01:20 the big two parties of the state were both comprehensively beaten.
