00:00Yeah, I would say mass immigration is the biggest issue when it comes to women's safety in modern Britain.
00:06I think, and I don't just speak for myself, I speak for my friends.
00:09We experience this daily, we can't even go on a picnic, we can't even walk around the streets without getting stared at, without getting followed, without men making inappropriate comments at us.
00:19Every single day it is, I've had someone make inappropriate comments at me just for leaving the house, regardless of what I'm wearing.
00:26And when I speak out about this, my friends are saying the same.
00:29Every woman I've spoke to has had similar experiences, and I know it might not be politically correct to say, but it is foreign men.
00:35And I think when it comes to women's safety, that should be held first, not political correctness.
00:40And what are some of the things that people are experiencing?
00:44I mean, you read in some of the newspapers about men staring, men harassing women in parks.
00:50I mean, is this a cultural dynamic? Is it a cultural difference?
00:55Just try and explain it to some of the viewers if you can.
00:59I think it naturally has to be a cultural difference, because at the end of the day, they're coming from countries which do not respect women.
01:06For example, me and my friend Elizabeth, a woman who's also organising this organisation, we went out for a picnic the other week.
01:13And on the way there, I had a man consistently beep his horn and stare at me when I was just walking across the pavement.
01:20We had a man sit next to us for 15 minutes and stare at us while we were at the park, even though there's loads of space around us.
01:25Deliveroo drivers making inappropriate comments at us.
01:28And this was a relatively nice area of London. This wasn't, like, one of the worst areas.
01:33So even when we can't go out for a simple picnic, enjoy the sunny weather, I think that really shows how terrible the issue is and how prevalent this is.
01:40Well, you say it's politically incorrect to say this, but to be honest, you know, as a father myself, this is one of the reasons I wanted to draw attention to this, because it does really matter.
01:48So tell us a bit about the campaign. Tell us a bit about how you're fighting back against this.
01:54Yeah, so already we've received enormous support. We've just launched it today.
01:57We've received thousands of likes, impressions, follows.
02:00We've received, whenever I've reached out to anyone, including yourself, it's been met with incredible enthusiasm and passion.
02:06I thought I'd have to convince people, but because it's such a pressing issue, people already know.
02:11And I think there's power in allowing women to share their stories, creating, I know the left has been co-opted by the left,
02:17but the phrase has been co-opted by the left, but a safe space.
02:20I think it's important to create a space where women can be vocal about this, to share their stories, because it's so prevalent and it's not just the odd comments.
02:27I've spoke to women who've experienced rape, who've experienced sexual harassment, and I've spoke to victims of grooming gangs who don't feel comfortable speaking out against it,
02:35and they don't even know it's an issue. They don't even know what the solution is.
02:38And quite frankly, I don't think a lot of these men would be doing it if they knew that the consequence would be of playing back home.
