Thank you very much indeed for joining us. I hope you're well

What do you make of this then? So we've got three days until these sentencing guidelines come into force
0:10
which could see what even Shabana Mahmood admits, two-tier sentencing in this country based on your gender identity
0:18
your skin colour and your religion and other things. What should the government be doing now
0:26
I've left it very, very late, haven't I? There's not much they can do. I mean, the scandal here is, one of the things about Britain is that a statue of justice was always a blind woman
0:36
You know, that justice was supposed to be blind not to see these different characteristics
0:40
whether I'm white or black, male or female, gay or straight. The justice isn't supposed to see that
0:46
And the other thing, of course, is that three or four months ago, we were told that believing in a two-tier justice system was a right-wing conspiracy theory
0:55
Well, it would seem that that right-wing conspiracy theory was, in fact, true
0:59
And it shows the dangers though of governments handing over responsibility for decision to these quangos who then just make these weird and wonderful decisions and then ministers and the Home Secretary cannot do anything
1:12
about it. And when you look at the makeup of the sentencing councillors I've done, they are so
1:18
stereotypical. They are the centrist bunch, men and women who all look the same. I can't imagine
1:24
any one of them voted for Brexit and one token black lady on there. And these are the sort of
1:30
people who think they know best. They know they're far clever than you, me and any of the GB News
1:37
listeners. They think that this is a good thing to do. And it's utterly scandalous. And it's just
1:42
as a liberal left view for whichever government have been in Tory or Labour, these people
1:48
they're always the same individuals, whether it's a sentencing council or something to do with the
1:53
NHS or education. They're the same people who rule our nation. It's such a good point, Mike
1:58
It feels that even though that we have changes of government sometimes, you know, elections where we elect our politicians, these quangos, these people, these bureaucrats stay in position and always make those decisions
