In this episode, I delve into my current situation as I navigate the complexities of solitary confinement within Woodhill Prison. After 42 days of isolation, I was required to provide a written response regarding my confinement, which was then sent to the government for further decision-making. Despite consultations with mental health professionals who have deemed this confinement detrimental to my mental health, the government persists in holding me in these conditions.

I discuss the stark differences between my current maximum-security imprisonment and the conditions of an open prison, which is typically where civil offenders like myself are placed. The injustice of my situation is highlighted by the fact that I am being held in solitary confinement while others, including those convicted of more severe crimes, are not subjected to such treatment.

The episode also touches on the broader implications of my imprisonment, including the financial burdens imposed by the judiciary and the lack of political and media support in the UK. I express my gratitude to international figures who have spoken out against my treatment and emphasize the importance of free speech and the fight against censorship.

Throughout the episode, I reflect on the personal impact of my imprisonment on my family and the lessons I hope to impart to my children about standing up for the truth. Despite the challenges, I remain committed to exposing corruption and advocating for the voices of survivors of sexual exploitation.

As I share my experiences, I call for support and solidarity from listeners and express my determination to continue fighting for justice, both for myself and for others who have been wronged by the system.

Hello, darling. I'm just, let me just have a little get a hang of my chest as I'm thinking about all this, and then we'll talk properly. But I'm sorry. I'm well, I've walked away to the 2025, but I'm entering my 3rd month of solitary dream employment within Woodhill Prison.

After 42 days, I had to go to the they had to go to the government after 42 days of isolation. So whose decision is it? Because I know people get frustrated with the prison. It's not the prison. All decisions that are me and I have to do with the jail. They're coming from the government. That was made I had to give a written response to my, my opinion on my isolation.

After 42 days, it goes to the go it was going to the government for them to continue doing it. So I wrote my written response, which said this doesn't have to happen. When I come in here, I sat down with a psychiatrist, and I said to her, what's 9 months of sponsoring and finally gonna do to me? She said it's gonna be devastating for your mental health. So I said, so why are they doing it? And 2 weeks ago, no. Look. This week, I sat down. I every 2 weeks, I have a meeting with the governors, and the mental health team are there. Psychiatrists are there, mental health, probation,

independent monitor and board. They're all they're all there every 2 weeks because I have to have it because I'm on social confinement. And this week, I said, I'm gonna say this because I feel different. Let me I'm telling you what. I know how I feel. I feel different. I know I'm only 2 months in. So why am I still being held in solitary confinement? Why am I not in a DCAP prison? And and there's a mental health team now. I said, let me just ask you. Is this good for me? She said, no.

I said, how bad is it? Because I know about it because I remember what happened last time. So I said, so why are you doing it? Why are you doing it? And I I'm a civil offender, so I've got 18 months, which is insane anyway for playing a film. A film that they said wasn't in the public's interest. Well, I think it's on a 150,000,000 views. It certainly was in the public's

interest. Yeah? But they tend to be taking months. Now as a civil offender, you go to an open prison. What's the difference between that and where I'm being held? Well, in open prison, you get a job outside. You have a car. You go to work. You go stay at home 5 days a month. You have town cadence for your family. So that is the only prison you go to for committing civil offenses. You're unship to a maximum security jail housing the worst Muslim gangs and jihadists in the country. And then they use that then to say you have to go on solitary confinement.

Just and and what is solitary confinement? Well, Vratis and Harrison are on solitary confinement. Jahadis' son, Axel, we've done his little stabbing spree. He must have looked at I was in Belmar on solitary confinement. He was 2 shelves above me on health care. He's got a job. So they're not under solitary confinement.

My foot what day is it today? It's my routine tomorrow, Friday. I half late because people say, yeah. I've got the gym. I have got the gym. So half 8 in the morning, I get collected for the gym. I get taken over over to another 8 empty unit. I'm on a wing with 16 cells. It's just me. You know? Then I get taken through 19 sets of doors to another unit. It's a high security, maximum security unit where I'm allowed to use a gym. I'm on my own. So they lock me in a little small gym area. So I go there on my own. They lock me in a gym. I'll work out. Yeah. I'll do an hour run. I'll do an hour I'll go on a a bike for an hour. And then I'll bang the door, And then they'll open the door, and they'll bring me outside. And then there's, like, a exercise yard. So I walk around that on my own. I'll do 40 minutes on my own. K? And I'll I'll have that. And then they'll bring me in. And then then I'll then I'll bring me in. I'll go in the shower room. Luckily, on my own, yeah, on my own in the shower room. But that's my routine. And then at half 11, I'm put back in my cell. And then from half 11 till the next morning, I'm sat in my cell. So 21 hours a day, I sit on that bed.

Now I won't be minding. I don't want people to feel sorry for me, but if the injustice of it all is, this this shouldn't be happening, why shouldn't it be happening? Because that's mental torture. Google's not so confided.

It's a decision that the gut the the their own mental health teams in here have said will be devastating for my mental health, yet the government are making a decision to hold me in these conditions for 9 months. I asked this week, well, how long will I be held like this? 9 months. So you're not gonna send me to an open prison. Why not? Why not? And what is what's the difference here? When I got sentenced in Valmarsh,

everyone when I got to prison, everyone who goes to jail now, because the prisons are full, everyone gets 60% off. Not me. I wasn't allowed 60% off. So everyone does. Everyone. I mean, every single prison because I'm not a criminal offender. I'm a civil offender, so I shouldn't even be in it. I'm not a criminal offender, so I I I get the 50% off. They get 60. I think some of them get 70 from January. But that that that's only a difference to the month off. But that's a big difference when someone's sitting on social confinement because I shouldn't be sitting on social confinement. Now when you take the 60% off so if I was making a month sentence,

criminal, if I'd raped someone and I was in here for rape or something, I'd get 18 months, then I get 60% off. So 7 and a half, nearly 8 months. Then you do half of that on tag. I'd be out after 3 and a half, 4 months, but I have to serve 9 months of solitary confinement. That's what I'm just pointing out because I don't know because I wanna I wanna I wanna feel sorry for me. I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of it. It's 2025,

and what amounts to mental torture is being inflicted on a journalist because he made a film.

They don't have to do this. I should be in a open prison. And if if they're saying if they if their excuse is they've brought me here and they put me in isolation, I haven't asked them twice lately. So they put me in isolation because their excuse is I'll get hurt in the prison system. But if that was the case, they should still give me the same rights as a DCAP prisoner. If a DCAP prisoner isn't is only meant to be staying in prison at night and he let it go to work, that's what I should be doing,

least of all for making a film. But the judge is given the power to give 2 years prison sentence for contempt of court without a jury. I've never had a jury ever. So a 2 year prison sentence, but he wouldn't be given that if it was 2 years of social confinement. It's insane. And as that continues, not just that, I now have I now have the attorney general who is now invoicing me. They sentenced me to 8 months, put me on social confinement, and now they've charged me £81,000.

They want me to pay by the 7th January. Well, guess what? I'll face another contempt of court case. The so we're talking about terrorism. This is financial terrorism. The the the weaponization of a judiciary to destroy dissident voices, that's exactly what it is.

Ignore if this is happening in North Korea, China, or Russia. Our every politician in our country would be screaming about this, but not a word. Not one single politician has mentioned this. No. We have a film, which is an expose of the corrupt judiciary on which is the most watched documentary Britain's ever seen, and not one MP spoke about it or or mainstream journalists. Not like the GB News. None of them have spoke about it. It's insane. They don't be screaming about it. They're pointing the fingers at other countries. But, again, this ain't so so people feel sorry for me. The the the justice Nicklin thought he could inflict the gagging order. They think they can lock up the truth. As I've said, the film's a 150,000,000 views. How's that going? Now let's give a gagging order to journalists who come and visit me. Anyone who visits me has now signed a gagging order that they won't speak about how I am. Why is that? Probably because they know full well that there's a downward spiral of spot of solitary confinement. That's what's going to happen. They know what's gonna happen. They have their experts and mental health teams, which I've asked myself. So they know full well the consequences of isolating someone from 9 months. Will it break me? That's it. When you understand why they're doing it, it is to break me. That's the intention of it. It won't break me. I'll come out of it with my with my head held high, whether it be from a decal, which I doubt. But I'm I'm grateful to Ezra Levant. Ezra, I'm grateful that he's gonna be fighting this because he always taught me to fight everything. He's been fighting this through the legal system. I don't have much hope in any legal system because there's no jury. I've never had a jury. I faced a terrorism case on 20th March. Now I faced a terrorism case because I didn't allow the police access into my phone. They stopped me under terrorism legislation at the border, and then they said, we know you're not a terrorist, but we have the power to do this. So you have the power you abuse your powers? Terrorism legislation wouldn't brought in secret's doctor at least at airports.

Why do they wanna get into my phone? Because my next episode and my next documentary, everyone's talking about Muslim grooming gangs day. Everyone. My next documentary proves that they're not just Muslim grooming gangs. They're Labour's Muslim grooming gangs. And we have code like recordings that make allegations against leading Labour politicians who were involved in sexual exploitation of children. They're politicians.

That's why they've stopped down terrorism legislation. And I have as a journalist, I have a right to to protect my source of information. So I think give them access to my phone, and that'll face a terrorism trial. How many journalists have spoke up about that? 0. How many politicians have spoke up or defended my name in that? 0. We have to rely on leading figures from around the world. I think today, Dutch politicians, Danish politicians,

Polish politicians, Australian politicians, American politicians speaking up. Where are the British politicians? Just think where we would be if it wasn't for Elon Musk. Where would this country be? Donald Trump, I don't believe, would have been elected. Where would we all be? We'd all spit still be under censorship.

Still, people wouldn't know the truth. There was a mass awakening happening out there, and they can't stop it. So long as there's free speech, free speech is the most important thing. Free speech is the is the hill I will die on. I played this film. I made that film available to the public, not because they were gagging me, because they were gagging you. They're silencing you. They don't want you to see the truth. That's what this has been about. It's not about me. It's not about people like me. It's about the wider public not knowing what's going on. It's why Jess Phillips doesn't want a grim damn scandal. Scandal. It's why all of them have acted day in, day out to cover this mess up because the mess brings highlights. They're failures, government failures. Open border immigration

failures. They're failures to tackle these problems, and instead, they crush us. How's that working? Have you silenced us? How many views is to film on? How many people are listening now? Has it worked? It's not gonna work. You can't look up the truth. Your attempt to look up the truth will not work. As I said, I'll come out here. My my next documentary is gonna expose labor

massively. It doesn't matter how long you're looking up here for, and I expect them to come in with more charges. I expect them to try and do everything they can because the public right now are listening. The world is watching. The more you try and crush us, the more you try and mentally break us, the more support we will gather. And people aren't buying you nonsense anymore. And this again, I don't want people to be feeling sorry for me. They'll just wanna point out their injustice,

their lies,

their lies. This doesn't have to be my sentence doesn't have to be lies. I shouldn't be in jail. I shouldn't be in jail, but I was willing to come to jail to put them on trial. I said that I said that in the buildup. I'm not on trial here. The judiciary is. And right now, the world, they said they're not they they are not they I'm not I'm not humiliated in the world's eyes. You are. The British judiciary is a laughing stock to the entire globe. The politicization of our judiciary, the weaponization of it, and right now, our prison system is the it's the whole world's watching the failure and the attempt to mentally break a British journalist

for daring to expose their corruption.

So I'm glad I got that off my chest. Everyone, I don't want you to feel sorry for me. I want you to think of Peter Lynch. Rest in plea rest in peace, Peter Lynch. Rest in peace, every, free every political prisoner. I hope that Donald Trump on his on his as soon as he's as soon as he's brought in, freeze the January 6th prisoners because I can only think of the solitary confinement conditions that they're facing, that their families are facing. I know what my family are faced. I know over the years what they're faced due to the slander and the lies by the media, by the fake the prostitutes of the media.

And, to my kids, I absolutely love you and miss you. And every step and every move I've made, you have to follow it. And every sacrifice I make means means you have to make sacrifices, so I apologize for that. I hope I've taught you a very special important lessons in life, to stand up for what you believe in. Never cower, never bend, and don't be a coward. Always stand up for the truth because the truth matters. And in the long run, people will see

as they are now. So I love you, and I miss you, kids. And, Jay, I'm sorry about everything. So I love you all. Alright? And I can't wait to be free. But until that point, our voices, the voices of survivors of sexual exploitation and grooming Islamic grooming gangs, their voices are echoing around the world today.

It's a great sight to see us saying this. It may sound a bit of stress now, but I'm saying I am stressed anyway. You know what? I'm stressed because even when it comes to visits now, I don't I don't wanna go on a visit. And that's that's isolation. So I know what mumps of isolation does. You then don't want to go out. I don't wanna come out of this cell door. I go every morning, and I'll continue to go every morning. I'll continue to have every visit. But I find a visit difficult. That's madness.

But that should not be inflicted on a person. They should not be free to do that. It's not happening to jihadists. It's not happening to the rapist. They're not allowed to do it to them. Why are they allowed to do it to me? Because it may be that toxic that everyone's too scared to even speak about. Even the reforming piece won't speak up about the mess.

But I'm grateful to see how all the journalism, all of our activism, all our content, the most important work we've done was during our time of censorship. And right now, the world's watching it, and it's great to see. It's great. It's a great feeling for me, and none of that work would have been possible without the people who support my work and support me. The the thousands of you who have wrote me letters. Every time if I feel down in here, I just pick up my saxophone

that I'm working for you. I pick up my saxophone. When I don't feel down, I feel inspired. So keep fighting, and I hope that this sentence in the film exposes their corruption. Love love to you all, man. And, and, good luck on the 1st February, everyone. Good luck on the 1st February. And, mate
