Summary
Is violent crime truly out of control in the UK? In this eye-opening video, we dive deep into some of the most horrific crimes that have shocked the nation.
From the life sentence of Kyle Clifford, who brutally raped and murdered his ex-girlfriend, her sister, and mother, to the growing gang warfare in UK cities fueled by the ongoing drug trade.
We also examine the chilling murders of young girls in Southport by Alex Rudakubana, a brutal reminder of the threat of Islamist extremism. Are UK laws too soft on violent offenders? Should we restore the death penalty to deter criminals?
What is the role of the police and parents in protecting the public? In this video, we debate the UK's criminal justice system, the effectiveness of current sentencing, and the broader societal impacts of these heinous acts.
Join the discussion on UK politics, violent crime, crime prevention, and free speech. We analyse the controversial topics surrounding crime, punishment, and public safety. Don’t miss out on this thought-provoking video exploring whether our justice system is truly up to the task in combating the rising tide of violent crime in the UK.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, welcome to the John Gaunt podcast. Pretty serious one today. I want to talk about violent crime. |
| 0:09.7 | And my question to you is this, and please get replying as soon as you can, is violent crime out of control in the United Kingdom? |
| 0:20.0 | And indeed, if you think it is out of control, how do we get back on top of it? |
| 0:25.6 | Or is it just the same as ever? |
| 0:28.1 | Am I overreacting after that monster yesterday? |
| 0:32.8 | Kyle Clifford refused to come and hear the witness statements of the family who he slaughtered. |
| 0:41.3 | Ada dragged him up by his fingernails. |
| 0:43.9 | He's paralyzed. |
| 0:44.8 | He's in a wheelchair because he shot himself with a crossbow after raping his ex-girlfriend, |

| 1:26.1 | But I asked the question, is it any worse? Because I'm quite |
| 1:29.2 | willing to be wrong on this. It feels to me as if it's completely out of control. I think |
| 1:36.4 | we've got soft sentencing. I think we've got soft coppers, not the front line. They're doing the |
| 1:42.2 | best they can, but they're being organized and arranged and |
| 1:46.2 | directed by the common purpose or rainbow lace brigade, aren't they? It's time, surely, to get tough on |
| 1:56.0 | crime. And then what about us parents? What responsibility do we bring to the table? |
