Owen, I met people who adjusted their views towards gay people in the past decades, from disliking gay people to understanding gay people as part of societal life. The problem is, lumping together LGBTQIA++ confusing those people who accepted gayness. The biggest confusion is Trans, there should be distinction between Trans women and biological women.

Yeah, it's right out of the twisted Steve Bannon/Dominic Cummings playbook - they trialled it with Priti Patel assuming the white liberal elite journalist class wouldn't dare call a woman of colour a racist, even if she said everything that got Enoch Powell thrown out of the Tories in the 80s... and like a lot of things, they were correct. Sad to say a lot of disgusting fascists are extremely prescient when it comes to mass communications, far more so than the smug arrogance of the middle class political editors at "grown up" publications like The New Statesman or The Economist.

"That man" is a post-holding Tory who rejects Braverman's racist creed. Braverman is the elite she criticises. She feels no consequence for her actions but will deprive anyone of the right to criticise her. As usual, Garage much in evidence also. Remember how at the last GE he warned of an army of Turkish emigrants waiting to invade the UK. This was and is fiction.

Hi Owen as a retired Police Inspector having served 30 years with a big metropolitan force like GMP I have seen an alarming rise in the alignment of police leadership with political narratives and the demise of the independence of individual Chief Officers. I’ve no doubt that much of this can be attributed to the introduction of single “elected” Policing and Crime Commissioners all of whom campaign with a party political identity. I’d be very interested to hear what Andy Burnham has to say about the ejection of this individual at the hands of zealous security staff enthusiastically assisted by a GMP Chief Inspector (almost certainly a silver or bronze commander for the event). For an officer of this rank to be seen to act so swiftly in such benign circumstances serves only to illustrate that a zero tolerance to dissent policy has been agreed at the strategic level by police Gold Command (ACC,DCC or Chief Const).

Absolutely with you on thus. As a boomer, I'm finding myself moving further to the left every year. I'm terrified for the future. A lot of my friends feel the same.

[@sarahgriffiths-p5k]

I'm another boomer and have been Labour all my life. I voted remain, fought for the environment since a teenager and tell the kids to vote in local and general elections, even mayoral, everything they can to make a difference. But I don't bother writing to my MP anymore. There really is no point - it's bloody Rees Mogg!

[@mikebarrow157]

The arrest scenes were "mildly" Gestapo!

[@fingersflynn]

Braverman is a "luxury" politician - what a ***!!!

[@StratsRUs]

It's like everybody else works for GB News now !

[@johnburrows3385]

Maybe those delegates that can be clearly identified giving Braverman's speech a standing ovation should be named and shamed.

[@wendymitchell587]

....sadly they are not ashamed....

[@nicolek4076]

When I saw (on another YT channel) parts of this appalling speech, I was greatly disturbed as a member of one the communities being vilified. Thank you for providing a more sane exegesis - it's reassuring. This demonstrates how much the Labour party is wrong over press and voting reform - these two items are the only way to keep this kind of vile politics out of power.

[@andypandy955]

I am a retired police officer and I know that people can be ejected from meetings as there are laws to cover this but this is not a public meeting and I cannot for the life of me come up with an offence of heckling in a private conference. This man was detained by what looked like government thugs with the aid of the police very frightening and bizarre.

[@MattBrophy]

She’s playing a dangerous game, it starts with this sort of rhetoric which she is driving on to introduce and before she knows it, she’s not quite right enough for the far right and ends up becoming a victim of her own orchestra.

[@michaeleden8093]

So many sound bites for. The right wing press to repeat and repeat

[@adecirkett5351]

This is worrying, I hope they do not win the next election

[@SuzanneO707]

And never come to my city again.

[@pablodelnorte9746]

Me too. But I don't want Labour, Lib Dem, SNP, Green coalition either.

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

@@pablodelnorte9746😠 Then who DO you believe should govern Britain?

[@sirmeowthelibrarycat]

😠 Sadly, the Old Nasty Party will give way to its vile offspring, the New Nasty Party wearing the tattered rags of the ‘Labour Party’. R.I.P Britain as a civilised nation 😢💐⚰️.

[@Hecatonicosachoron]

She must be destroyed completely and irreversibly

[@davidlewis1787]

It’s getting scary now. The footballer was correct

[@catchthehare]

wow, she is a real piece of work. so much vitriol, I hope she finds peace

[@rialobran]

Next will come the Night of the Long Knives, when Sunak and the slightly more centrist Tories are purged. Then Kristallnacht when they come for the 'undesirables'. It's almost like we've seen this before somewhere.

[@retrogiftsuk4812]

I don't think I've ever been so shocked of what has come out of the Tory party conference before. The stuff they are coming out with, you'd think that they didn't know there were cameras there!

[@MajoraWaffle]

"the Tories are becoming a far right party" hey, owen? you know they always have been, right?

[@OwenJonesTalks]

No. Something can be right wing and awful without being far right. We need language to describe the observable shift in Tory politics

[@LindaLee-xn8bb]

More hyperbole from Jones….. Of course the Tories are not “far right” any fool knows that, but Jones gets more clicks if he keeps chanting his divisive rhetoric …. It’s easier to destroy that build, aye Owen!

[@ganrimmonim]

No they've always been right-wing and often deeply unpleasant and cruel. But you can be all those things without being a hardright party. I would not have accused Thatcher's Tories of being a hard right or an ultraright part. Nor would I have dreamt of voting for her. As I was about 12 when she left office, it wasn't an issue. But no, they haven't always been hard right. The fact that there is serious talk of Nigel Farage getting to be an MP and becoming their leader speaks volumes.

[@davidlewis1787]

3.00 onwards for about 40 seconds…. She described the conservative party

[@BruceDavidson-y1s]

A fool should learn from the rise of Hitler and reflect on the fate of those who did not agree with his views. The same can be said of China, Russia, North Korea, Saudi Arabia etc.

[@colin172]

Her speech was like something you would hear out of 1930s Germany. Creating fear and targeting minorities and whatnot.

[@Antoniowebtube]

You went to the Tories Conference? What a strong stomach you have Owen! 😮

[@dabstheleo1967]

I FEEL ASHAMED BEING A UK BORN ASIAN IN THE 60`S AND HEARING THIS FROM A KENYAN BORN ASIAN! COCUNUT COMES TO MIND.

[@chrisbfreelance]

You sound weak.

[@fingersflynn]

Braverman Tories are existential threat to all of us

[@sarahjaneross2918]

What a terrifying and shameful human Braverman is... How anyone supports her evil rhetoric shows how far we have fallen. 😢

[@rhysturner8462]

Child born to foreign born parents explains to us that we should be scared of children born to foreign born parents. Ummmm….okayyyyyyyy. Sooner this absolute shower are out the better. Roll on 2024.

[@harrietwindebank6051]

Not my government. This government doesn’t speak for me.

[@stephaniewhite9526]

As a trans woman who transitioned 8 years ago I am horrified at what I am seeing. Rallying hate from our leaders is something I never thought we would see in modern years.

You know deep down which ward in a segregated hospital unit you should really be using.

"This up coming election campaign for our Labour party ..will be the most important ever! d🤕🇪🇺🗺💟

[@scooby1992]

Owen was absolutely correct in what he said about the former Chief Constable of Greater Manchester in the 1980s . The guy was called James Anderton and he was known as God's cop . No problem with him being religious until it affected his job .

[@Number9s]

There are far too many people who thinks she's right - that's the worry.

[@peterbrown7690]

Truly terrifying. This whole video is terrifying!! The bit where the gentle man was taking out of the audience is jaw dropping!

[@Athanael777]

The luxury beliefs part was the perfect projection

[@karlyoung6289]

Well Done Owen. Keep on Keeping on!!

[@theyoutubeguy1]

Let's hope Ponak calls an election soon, before it's too late.

[@jennifertebomosiane9596]

It amazes me how people continue to ignore Indian racism. This isn't a bug, this is a feature. Indians in the west are racist, they'd be BJP members in India. And notice how her and her family are exempt from the negative views she assigns to other immigrants. Its the same bigotry espoused by Ramaswamy and Healy in the US.

[@artfull334]

How disgusting to treat a member of their own party the same as a criminal 😮the guy never said much and why was the cop there !!??

[@richardwells7883]

I’m going to have to stop watching these, Owen. The slow rise of the far right in this country scares me rigid, and I don’t think there’s anything I can do to stop it. I am scared that this country will collapse into chaos by the time my daughter is an adult.

[@plebjames]

The real "luxury beliefs" are that we can let public services fail
