A discussion of the horrors of sexual trafficking in the UK

Many of the opinions expressed in this video are controversial.  But in the interests of open dialogue I offer Gavin Ashenden's views for consideration.  All are free to comment and to disagree. Debate is welcome. I do not agree with everything he says in this video.  I agree with most of it but issues of fact (such as the rate of immigration and so forth) I will leave to others to adjudicate.  I do disagree however, that charges of "racism" is not really a valid thing worthy of consideration on the shaky grounds that concepts of race, from a biological perspective, are nebulous.  I think racism is very real if one defines racism broadly as the bigoted oppression of one group of people by another based on purely epiphenomenal factors like skin color or facial morphology. I am also not so certain that Tommy Robinson is a morally upright person.  To be sure, I think Gavin is very circumspect in this as well. Next week I will be interviewing another guest on this same topic from the UK who will offer a different perspective.  This is in no way a criticism of Gavin.  I loved having him on the podcast and I think he is intelligent and articulate.  I thank him for taking the time to come on the show.  His voice should be heard.

I would also add that I am not in any way a supporter of Right Wing "Christian Nationalism". I don't think Gavin Ashenden is either, but we do not discuss it in the video.
