00:00Hello to you wonderful TV News members on St George's Day and a very, very happy St George's Day to you.
00:06Or is it? Because today the Prime Minister, Skiir Starmer, decided to write a piece where he was saying
00:11today is a day to reclaim the flag from, quote, people trying to sow division in our communities.
00:20And of course, he went on to talk about the Southport riots.
00:24Do you remember? He called everybody there far right back in the day.
00:29Why is it that today of all days, the Prime Minister decides it's a good idea to get out of bed
00:34and have a pop at everybody who's English on St George's Day?
00:39He would never in a trillion years talk about Scottish nationalism,
00:43anti-English racism that we saw from Scottish nationalists during the referendum campaign.
00:49He would never talk about that on St Andrew's Day. In fact, he'd never talk about it on any day.
00:54No, he'd be too worried about upsetting the Scottish.
00:57Same for the Welsh. The same for the Irish.
01:01He wouldn't even talk about criticising the Afghanis, the Ghazans, around the pro-Palestine flags.
01:08Of course he wouldn't. So why is it open season to have a pop at St George?
01:13The reaction has been astonishing from GBU's viewers.
01:16Hands off St George's Day. Keep the politics out of it.
01:19Just like Armistice Day, it should be a day of celebration, of celebrating what's great to be English.
01:25I'm looking for the problems. We've had the conversation about St. Paul.
01:29People are in jail for Facebook posts.
01:32And it always seems to be, to me, the metropolitan liberal elite.
01:37I know that's a cliche. It's a cliche for a reason.
01:39They're the ones having a pop at Englishness on England's day.
01:45Our proud day should be a time to reflect, to actually come together.
01:50And Sir Keir Starmer is looking for those who sow division in our communities.
01:54I put it to you, GBU's members.
01:56It's the Prime Minister sowing division.
01:58And he's sowing division on St George's Day.
