Paul Nuttall Election 2017

I think she's got it wrong over the police cuts. I also think she's got

it wrong over border guard cuts as well and indeed cuts to the Prison

Service. I'm not sure that these comments have much legitimacy coming

from someone like Jeremy Corbyn, someone who's called Hamas and

Hezbollah as friends. I mean, to attack Theresa May on the issue of

terrorism and it really is a weak point for Jeremy Corbyn. How do we

sort it? How would you answer that issue? It's a long process actually.

First we have to have politicians who're willing and have the courage

to name what the problem is and it's Islamist extremism. Secondly, we

need to reverse the cuts. Then we also have to get the Muslim

community on side, we need to get them signed up to the Prevent

programme. The fact only one out of eight referrals go to Prevent come

from within the Muslim community itself is worrying. Do you know, I

think the Government need to put forward some sort of investigation

or inquiry into the Saudi and Qatari funding of mosques in this country

because we know the Saudis and Qataris form radicalism around the

globe. The police cuts, it's a wider issue, and there's something to

answer there. Yes. The police respond and neutralised these people

in eight minutes. Oh, brilliant effort by the police, saved many,

many lives, however the fact that 20,000 police have been cut since

2009 is wrong considering that we are obviously living in a more

dangerous society now. And many of those cuts have been on the

frontline. We are talking about bobbies on the beat, community

police officers, and I think if people are going to give information

about potential Jihadis add in their midst, they are more likely to give

to it the bobby on the beat who they know. Let's reverse the cuts, go

back to 2009, let's put 20,000 more bobbies on the beat. You started

this election with your policy on FGM. Yes. A lot of people say that's

provocative and will make things worse? Interestingly, the

Conservatives and Theresa May, has spoken about FGM since this campaign

started. It's a cultural practice, not a religious practice. In this

country, there are 66,000 girls potentially at risk from this

barbaric act. It's illegal in France, they are cutting down on it,

they have mandatory checks, there have been over 150 prosecutions in

France. It's been illegal here since the 80s, and there hasn't been one

single prosecution. There have been instances of people coming over on

Eurostar to perform these acts. There should be mandatory chief

executive on girls who visit countries where this is commonplace.

Finally, the opinion polls are going all over the place, do you feel this

election and this issue is coming to you now? Well, obviously the issue

of security is a big one. The issue of integration has gone up the list

of importance during this election and we are the only party who have

answers on this issue. We started the election talking about the need

for communities to integrate and that is a way of preventing

radicalisation and we have been proving right. Thank you.

Surf Raj means right to vote. In 1986, the Daily Mail coined the term

suffragettes originally about an insult about the women's movement

who campaigned tirelessly for women to get the vote.
