Hi, it's Tom here. And before we get into this episode of the Spiked Podcast, I just want to say a huge

thank you to everyone who has donated to us this year. It's been one of our best years yet. Our

readership is growing. We're reaching more and more people with our pro-democracy,

pro-freedom message, and it's all thanks to you for reading and sharing and crucially donating.

Spites is free, we want to keep it free, and it's your donations that allow us to do that.

So if you have supported us this year, thank you very much and if you haven't and you'd like to,

why not give us a gift this Christmas?

It's really easy to do.

Just go to spite-to-online.com and hit the big red donate button in the top right corner.

One-off donations are brilliant, but even better for us is a monthly donation. Just five pounds per month can help

us take the fight into 2020 which is shaping up to be as important a year in politics if not

more than the last. So once again that that spiked hyphen online.com and that big

red donate button in the top right corner. Thanks so much and now on with the show.

Hi. Today we'll be discussing the London Bridge attack, Trump's visit to London, and what the final week

of campaigning in the election might have in store.

Two people have died in the terrorist incident on London Bridge.

I want to pay tribute to the extraordinary bravery of those members of the public who physically

intervened. Jack's father wrote, Jack would be livid. His death has been used to further an agenda of hate.

Dailed in 2012 for his part in an Al-Qaeda inspired plot.

Dangerous prisoners like Usman Khan, they were automatically released.
