All right, so all right, let me let me center myself. Let me meditate real quick

Hello listeners with me today I am joined from across the pond

Alexander Norton the Ed and editor at the morning star the only English language daily socialist paper in the world

Alex how you doing? How's the Mrs? What's going on?

The Mrs as well my days I never thought I'd speak to you so soon after after I've drawn in the Middle East Mr. Belden

Yes, yes, your listeners you probably don't know I am yes, I am a journalist

And the features editor at the morning star in the UK, but I know this I know this rap scallion

I know this fellow from from a very different place

So we both took our bombs to fight against fascism in the Middle East

I've not the whole of Middle East specifically Syria, you know, yes, yeah

Well, it is it's an honor to be on your show

Absolutely, let's go to have you here. Are you still being hounded by the the Barbies over there for your for your involvement?

I am actually yeah, I think that's I think it's a bit of a contrast because in America of course

You know, arming yourself and going off to fight Muslims is

It's applauded roundly by the entire political spectrum

But yeah, no over here. We are facing quite serious political oppression. There's one guy in jail

Because he got photographed who recorded himself with a group that I know that me neither neither you or I brace ever met

Some Curtis group with a free free letter acronym that we never met of course

Absolutely, prison for that

If the status of the YPG changes and the lead in the eyes of the the law here and

Something else then a few more people go in prison as well

It's definitely shown that it is possible to go down for what we did
