00:00OK, so lots of common sense in the room already here, I think.
00:04Adam, I'll start with you.
00:05You know, how's this guy walk free?
00:07All right, he might face sentencing later on, don't get me wrong,
00:09but, I mean, granted bail. Crack on with your life, mate.
00:11Yeah, look, for me, he's clearly a danger.
00:15Hezbollah are a prescribed terrorist organisation in many countries,
00:19dozens around the world.
00:21They're also very linked to Iran.
00:24Iran are really our enemy in the world right now.
00:26They hate us. They want to get rid of Israel.
00:28Well, this man has indirectly helped fund terrorists,
00:33and he should be in prison, in my opinion.
00:35But, again, this is another wrong-un at the BBC.
00:38As you've said, we've had paedophiles, we've had terrorist fundraisers now,
00:42and we've had dog rapists, which I've brought up on the show before.
00:46What is wrong with the BBC?
00:49Why do they use such degenerates and such bad people?
00:53And, remember, it's us that pay for it.
00:56It's our licence fee.
00:57So there's big questions to ask for the BBC.
00:59Oh, just go.
