	Well I have to say, that went exactly as expected.
	I know that a lot of people for some reason thought that UKIP were going to do alright in this election and I have to say I'm sure that I made it clear that we weren't going to.
	There was no beating Nigel Farage at this point and there was no point even trying to beat him.
	He is Mr Brexit.
	In this country, he is the face of Brexit.
	In the midst of the Brexit betrayal by the Conservatives, leading a party called the Brexit Party.
	It's no wonder he did so well and congratulations to him.
	I hope he delivers Brexit.
	I really do.
	I am pig sick of talking about Brexit.
	It is honestly the last issue that I want to deal with at this point, which is why when we're on the campaign trail, so little of what we actually talked about revolved around Brexit.
	There are other issues at hand, but when you're leading a party called the Brexit Party and you have various allies from various different political leanings all chipping in to help you, it's no wonder that, well, as Anne Whittacombe put it.
	Well, I think it's very straightforward.
	The people have once again voted to leave.
	Because there was only ever one reason for voting for the Brexit Party.
	We didn't cloud it with any other issues.
	We said, vote for us if you want a Brexit.
	And that is what the nation has done big time tonight.
	We've only been around for six weeks.
	And so I think what this does is send a very clear message to Westminster again that if they don't sort out leave, then at the next general election, both the big parties are going to face carnage.
	This is a completely true and salient analysis.
	And if anyone thinks that it's anything else other than Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party that has caused the demise of lots of other parties in this country in the European elections, then they'd be wrong.
	It's very easy to see why people would have voted for the Brexit Party.
	Had I not been a member of UKIP, I would have voted for them myself, because I want Brexit to be delivered, and again, as Anne Whittacombe says, People are fed up that the result of the 2016 referendum has not been implemented three years later.
	And they're sending a big message to Westminster and saying, you know, we want this sorted out.
	Now, there was only ever one reason for voting for the Brexit Party.
	And that was to get a Brexit.
	It's the only reason.
	And again, I have to completely agree with Anne Whitticombe.
	There are many other issues on which to vote for other parties.
	And the Brexit Party is not that party.
	And by God, I hope they get it.
	I really hope they get it.
	Because like I said, I'm just tired of Brexit.
	There are other issues that need to be dealt with.
	But thank God that the Brexit Party's success in the MEP elections is the shot across the bow that the Conservative Party needed to wake itself up.
	Boris Johnson is the next likely leader of the Conservative Party after May's resignation, and he has said that the EU election drubbing is a final warning to the Tory Party over Brexit, which it clearly is.
	Boris Johnson has warned the Conservatives that they've been given a final warning by voters and face a permanent hemorrhage of support if they do not deliver Brexit.
	Correct.
	That is exactly what's happening, which is why I do think that if Boris Johnson becomes Prime Minister, and let's be fair, probably best him than someone else, he will allow the clock to run out on Article 50.
	So come October the 31st, we will just leave, deal or no deal.
	That's the best thing that we can do at this point.
	Other Conservatives are saying the same thing, and one of the few Conservatives that I actually respect, Daniel Hannan, has said very much the same thing.
	And I'm actually really glad he got to keep his seat.
	And I'm sure it was on the strength of who he is that he managed to do so.
	He described it as, without question, our worst result as a party ever, and suggested that Conservative fortunes would be turned around and the threat from Mr. Farage's Brexit Party neutralized if the UK did leave the EU.
	The appeal of a party called the Brexit Party will dry up very quickly once Brexit has happened.
	And I do genuinely believe that Nigel Farage does actually wish to resign from frontline politics.
	I think that he has been consistent on this point, and his resignation as the leader of UKIP after the Brexit referendum was evidence of this.
	But the thing is, Britain is in a time of unprecedented change.
	I mean, this graph from the BBC shows you how the Conservative and Labour vote share has fallen since the year of my birth until now.
	That is a staggering decline.
	It is about time that British politics changed.
	We have so many things that we actually need to address that Labour and the Conservatives are either responsible for or afraid of.
	I'd say example one is political correctness.
	Here's Nigel Farage denouncing me for my joke.
	But frankly, the sooner this election's over with and UKIP closes down, the better it will be.
	It's gone beyond a joke.
	Isn't it?
	It's pretty disgusting that this person is even allowed to be putting himself up.
	It's extraordinary.
	You know, these comments are vile.
	How stunning and brave.
	Politics has become coarser in recent years.
	But I'll put it to you.
	Look, do you not think that maybe you are partly responsible for that, Courtney?
	I mean, just a few things that you've said in recent times.
	You said that if you didn't get the sort of Brexit you want, you'd Don Kharki, pick up a rifle and go to the front line.
	That was a metaphor joke.
	Excuse me.
	Said during a comedy event.
	Okay, were you describing?
	Oh, it's a joke when you're doing it, Nigel, but not when I'm making jokes in a video clearly labeled comedy that's full of other jokes.
	They won't leave you alone.
	The media know how this game is played and they know their power in this regard.
	You have been personally calling them out.
	Here we are with one of the biggest changes in politics that's ever occurred.
	Okay.
	And you're not even interested.
	Do you still want to?
	What's wrong with the BBC?
	Do you still want to roll back gun controls and reintroduce hand guns?
	Well, in this country.
	This sums it up.
	Do you know, I've been going around the country, speaking at pack rallies every night.
	And do you know who's not there?
	The BBC.
	And from this line of questioning now, I can see why.
	time that we stop bending the knee to political correctness because we have some really deep seated issues that we actually have to address for example we need to make one thing very clear This program is not just about telling people that other families and other types of lifestyles exist.
	It's actually aggressively promoting them, giving it a positive spin, and telling people that it is okay for you to be Muslim and for you to be gay.
	Mr. Moffat!
	Shame, shame, shame, shame, shame, shame!
	And of course, the response to this from my favourite politician, Jess Phillips, was to tell them that they weren't being Muslims correctly, as if she knows.
	I think what is happening here, the worst thing about it, is that it's damaging the reputation of a community, a peaceful and loving community that I have lived in my entire life.
	So why on Saturday?
	Why on Saturday?
	With all directions, with all due respect to protect the 600 children in this country.
	There are 600 children who have not turned up as who today.
	That's what I'm afraid of.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	There are 600 children.
	We've counted only 120 to 130.
	Now, first of all, with all due respect towards us when parents are Sarah Hughes.
	I don't know, Jess.
	According to Dr. Omar Khan of the Runnymede Trust's definition on what Islamophobia is, I'm pretty sure that what you are doing is standing against an expression of Muslimness.
	So yes, you are in fact intolerant.
	In fact, by the definition that the Labour Party are pushing, you're a bloody Islamophobe.
	And if you think these problems are going away, you are wrong.
	We can't give in.
	The Birmingham School on the front line of anti-LGBT protests.
	Well, that's just brilliant.
	Who exactly is equipped to deal with this philosophical conundrum?
	Certainly none of the current parties that we have who are too afraid of even mentioning the words Islam or English.
	Even the chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission is starting to become aware of just how damaging identity politics is to British politics.
	This is a problem that is growing.
	It is not receding and is being overshadowed by Brexit for now.
	But when that problem goes, we will still be stuck with it.
	And so we need to prepare.
	And so that, in my opinion, was what the MEP elections were about.
	Because you have to remember, these were just dropped in our lap.
	I mean, when no one ever thought that we were going to have MEP elections.
	And we had no time to prepare.
	We had no time to lay the groundwork.
	But now we do.
	So I propose that we essentially stay in campaign mode.
	And this is what I was saying on the campaign trail itself.
	Carl, lovely to meet you again.
	Lovely to see you here.
	Why?
	Because it has to be done.
	It just has to be done.
	We can't allow things to carry on this way.
	This can't be our public dialogue.
	I mean, what we're doing is effectively some kind of democratic revolution.
	And like all revolutionaries, we're going to get pushback from the establishment.
	We're going to get attacked by the people who are invested in the way things are done at the moment, whether it's financially or morally or politically.
	But we've got to carry on because we should, I mean, I shouldn't need to have anyone protecting me doing this.
	I'm really not a very controversial guy if you actually look at what I want politically.
	I've done that.
	Yeah, it's not very controversial, is it?
	I do not find it controversial at all.
	It's in no way objectionable.
	And so why am I getting attacked by very otherwise fine people who are, you know, nice middle class, they pay their taxes, they go to their jobs, they're very well liked in the communities.
	What is it that is making them radical?
	You know, making them violent?
	And it is the media.
	It's misrepresentation by the media.
	The media is deliberately coming along.
	I mean, and literally, imagine this.
	You're sat there, you're reading the paper, and suddenly, here's someone you don't know.
	You should hate them.
	That's effectively what the media is saying.
	And they buy into it.
	And as soon as I challenge them, they can't tell me what I've said, where I've said it, why I said it, what the context was.
	And it all just melts away.
	And you realize that these are just kind of the sort of moral busybodies who feel the need to go over and give you a piece of their mind because they're offended.
	And that kind of tyranny is the sort of tyranny of political correctness, and it has to stop.
	We have to be able to have the tough conversations because these problems are growing like a cancer in our society.
	Like, Tommy Robinson doesn't spring out of the ether fully formed.
	You know, he is the result of a long process of injustice to get to the point where he's at.
	And we saw yesterday he's being attacked, bricks thrown, eggs thrown.
	The police cars were smashed.
	I mean, this is something that just has to be dealt with.
	And so you've got to take the slings and arrows.
	You've got to.
	But we'll keep going.
	We'll keep going.
	And we'll go on to the, we'll keep doing these events, in fact.
	I'll be going around the southwest once a month.
	I'm going to plan for.
	So coming up to the local elections next year.
	So hopefully we can do quite well on the locals.
	I'm not just going to run away.
	I'm not just going to quit.
	You know, we've got to keep going.
	And I think we should.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	So as I said, I was really well aware of what was going to happen because this really was Nigel Farage's time.
	He sucked up all of the sort of boomer conservatives who voted to leave and rightfully so want to leave.
	And Godspeed, hopefully he gets us out of the European Union.
	But like I said, that's not going to be the end of the story.
	And there's no one else left to actually challenge these things from a position that supports British values.
	And I think that UKIP will become that party.
	And that's why, honestly, now is the time to join.
	Because a leadership election is coming up.
	And if you join, you can vote for the next leader.
	Now, it won't be me, obviously, but there are definitely many other people in UKIP who are just as tough and dogged and determined as Jared Batten is and are looking forward to taking the fight to the radical left because the communists are multiplying, they're not receding.
	The Islamists are multiplying.
	They are not receding.
	We need to have a voice in politics.
	And so we can't go away.
	Nigel Farage might want us to go away.
	The political establishment might want us to go away.
	But that's all the more reason why we've got to stay.
	Because this campaign really was quite a phenomenal thing, in my opinion.
	Now, they didn't translate the polls, obviously, because there's too much else going on.
	But we achieved a hell of a lot.
	We now know exactly how to run these kinds of campaigns.
	And like I said in the clip, I'm going to do these bigger and better every month.
	We're going to leaflet to let locals know that we're going to be there.
	That's going to get the local press involved.
	We are going to fill out the town squares regarding these debates.
	I think the first one we'll do will probably be Jess Phillips in the LGBTQ lobby versus conservative Muslims.
	That'll be an interesting debate for us to have, won't it?
	The point being, we are going to do politics outside of Westminster, beyond the reach of the gatekeepers.
	And we are going to invite the public to come in and listen to us.
	And I honestly think that given the national attention these issues are getting, they'll want to.
	Why wouldn't they?
	And I think we can really do a lot of good in raising UKIP's profile as a free speech party that is committed to British values.
	And I don't want to speak too soon, but polling actually indicates that's already happening.
	If you look at UKIP's polling demographics, it might be low on average, but among certain core groups, it's really good.
	According to this survey poll from a couple of months ago, UKIP were the second most popular party in the country with 18 to 24 year olds at 14%, second only to the Labour Party, and 10% at 25 to 34 year olds.
	Now, I would suggest that that means that the YouTubers have done their job.
	And like I said, it's going to be a 20-year plan to defeat the communists, but we can't quit now.
	We've cut our teeth on an election that was really rather irrelevant.
	And frankly, I never wanted in the first place.
	We shouldn't have ever had MEP elections.
	And it's a dramatic failure of the establishment that they were allowed to happen at all, in the first place.
	It's complete humiliation for the Conservatives and Labour, and politics in this country is changing.
	We should capitalise on that.
	We can do things here that draw them out, draw them out to debate us, and every single time they came into contact with us, they got shredded.
	I think it's time for us to start building.
	And finally, thank you to everyone who supported for us and the 60,000 people in the Southwest, I think it was, that voted for us.
	I really appreciate all your help and all your support.
	And thanks for coming out and making the events honestly so fun.
	Like this campaign was a massive adventure.
	We didn't know what we were going to find at every town that we went to.
	And just some amazing stuff happened.
	We managed to draw the media out into their most vile and toxic form.
	And they really seem to have shot their wad on this.
	They haven't kept any powder dry.
	I mean, if I stood for another position, what are they going to throw at me?
	How could they get any worse?
	They've gone as hard as they can on, frankly, an irrelevant election.
	And I think they got a bit unnerved.
	I think they got a bit scared.
	And I'd just like to say, congratulations to Tommy Robinson to getting 40,000 votes for one man.
	The media are trying to portray this as if it's some giant humiliation.
	It's not.
	It's bloody amazing.
	And imagine the reaction that they'll have if Tommy stood as a counsellor in Rotherham.
	I know it might look like we're at a nadir at this point, but this was not our time.
	This was Nigel Farage's time.
	He had the connections and the money and the name and the political circumstance and he took advantage of this and succeeded magnificently.
	Congratulations Mr Farage.
	I hope you get the Brexit that we're all expecting.
	In the meantime, UKIP are going to be the only party who are going to tackle political correctness, mass immigration, Islamic extremism and the radical left.
	So I'll leave a link in the description if you'd like to join us.
