Bruv, I love elections innit like this is my Love Island.
I'd have an election every single year Arhhh, umm, num num num num. Oh my God
How do I feel about this election though?
I do not want another 5 years of Tories man
just screwing over the country, the working man.
Apparently Labour have lost the working classes.
Bullshit. Bruv, I'm northern, I'm working class.
Just because I'm not white doesn't mean that I'm not working class
Most ethnic minorities in this country are working class, by the fact we have'nt been here that long.
The only difference between white working class and Asian, me, working class
is that one of us loves chicken tikka masala and the other is Asian, otherwise we're exactly the same.
We're getting an Indian what do you fancy?
Chicken bhuna, lamb bhuna, prawn bhuna, mushroom rice, bag of chips, keema naan and 9 popadoms.
Boris Johnson is a very interesting character.
So this man of the people nonsense: he says what he thinks innit,
and people like that about him in the same way they like it about Trump and Farage.
You might like that about your uncle but your uncle shouldn't be Prime Minister innit.
He'd probably be a good laugh on a night out innit:
he'd probably tell some really good stories, he'd have a bit of inappropriate banter,
he'd make ya laugh, he'd make your girlfriend feel nice about herself
but, is he really the guy to run the country? I don't think so man.
The guy constantly has been caught out lying.
That's not my opinion, that's a verifiable fact.
What's been really heartening to me is: it seems like the members of the public aren't fooled.
Yeah, the media might tell us constantly that "Boris is man of the people,"
"Boris wants best for this," "Boris wants best for that."
But actually when he's out there, for example when he was in Yorkshire:
We was here for 48 hours with nobody from the council, no help.
If the community can come together in such a short time to respond to the needs,
to those people that have been devastated,
upset, emotionally, lost their livelihoods, their possessions and it's took you over 5 days.
You should have been there Saturday morning having a meeting,
making sure that these people get the help and the support
and I'm sorry your announcement yesterday was a pittance.
Is there anything in particular that you like us to do? No thank you.
People were telling him to get lost innit because he didn't call national emergency for time.
Bruv, if that was like Somerset or Surrey or Kent,
that national emergency would have happened before the first drop of rain.
He's not about you innit.
There's a women in Uxbridge, Uxbridge is down south yeah,
this older white women,
and there like "what do you think of Boris Johnson" and she's like
Don't you ever mention that name in front of me that filthy piece of toerag.
Oh my God I love that women. Make her Prime Minister.
No don't because she's probably not fit to run the country but still.
And then we look at Jeremy Corbyn right.
The media portrayal of Jeremy Corbyn is: grumpy bastard, terrorist sympathiser, racist.
I mean, I don't understand how a lifetime anti-racist campaigner can be labelled in this way.
Time to declare our solidarity with all sections of the community who are under attack or under oppression.
Others have drawn the parallels tonight about the way in which minorities
in our society have always been pilloried.
From Jewish people that arrived in Britain from Russia at the end of the nineteenth century,
the way they were characterised by the popular press
the way that then became physical attacks upon them
that then became a whole tied of anti-Jewish behaviour?
Which enabled the Nazis to rise.
Jeremy Corbyn has been on the right side of history every single time.
Thousands more deaths in Iraq will not make things right.
It will set off a spiral of conflict, of hate, of misery, of desperation
that will fuel the wars, the conflict, the terrorism, the depression and the misery of future generations.
He was anti apartheid when Maggie Thatcher was calling Nelson Mandela a terrorist,
this guy was getting arrested for opposing apartheid.
So, I don't understand how we're calling this guy a racist.
But yeah, alright fine, the guy's got a resting grump face yeah, fair enough.
but actually when it comes to action, when it comes to dealing with people, the guy's affable AF.
Ohhhh Jeremy Corbyn. (Harry singing)
Ohhhh Harry Fairchild. (Jeremy singing)
The boss, the boss.
Look around Grenfell yeah, When Maybot went over there
and went JC went over he's hugging people because he empathises,
he realises that these are real people dealing with a tragic circumstance.
This is not to say that JC has never made any mistakes,
of course he has he's human but those mistakes shouldn't be amplified
to such an extent that it takes over everything else that he's about.
There has to be some balance there and at the moment I'm not seeing that balance.
Especially when it comes to the other side.
Boris Johnson has said racist things, he said it in print,
and then he's got these mates Nigel Farage and Trump.
Trump has definitely said racist things,
Nigel Farage flirts with racism every single day like it's a hot women in bar.
(Laughing)
Trump, Boris and Nigel Farage,
Lord Farage, yeah, that's what's gonna happen if Boris wins the election,
telling them like, whispering like the shit whisperer in their ear saying
"ah yeah, don't let these people in, build a wall," all this sorts of nonsense.
Lord Farage...
It has a ring to it you know, I quite like it
because then he's on a par with Lord Voldemort which we know he's about equally as evil so
that would make sense to me, you know what: I back it.
Then you got people that would serve in his cabinet like Jacob Rees-Mogg.
A guy like lounging, if I was delivering this whole thing like this,
and going "ahh, let me tell you about the election," you'd be like "what a prick."
I don't understand the balance here, what is going on?
It's almost like there's an agenda,
it's almost like the people who are telling you this are scared of the alternative.
But we've seen what we've got over the ten years.
We've had austerity, we've had rich people getting richer,
the gap between the richest and the poorest has never been bigger.
How can you not want a government that is there to help people,
the common man build up.
Let's talk about hope.
Star Wars Episode 4 is now called A New Hope
and who is JC if not Obi-Wan Kenobi.
(Lightsaber sound)
We can win this election, if we get that message out to everyone.
The message about transformative policies.
It can change an entire generations outlook and future.
We know it's gonna be tough
I'm anxious as well, I know you're anxious
but let's just put a lid on the anxiety
let's get out there with a positive, hopeful message
because if Labour deliver half of what they've promised
this country's gonna become so much better for everyone.
