0:00.0 | I want to ask a question of Hussein and Alice, since you are Muslim cast members. |
0:19.1 | I noticed this with the coverage of Nishratgani's case, and I happen to notice this with |
0:24.0 | someone sharing stuff today about some of the greatest shits of Melanie Phillips, being that |
0:32.7 | it strikes me that there's also an element of this, for example, with talking about |
0:36.9 | Islamophobia and the |
0:38.1 | Tory party and in British politics in general, that they are making motions as if anything |
0:45.2 | in the British establishment is going to take it seriously. Whereas, you know, I make the argument |
0:49.8 | that Melanie Phillips got on TV and said that every single person who lives in Iran wants to |

1:32.9 | whereas it affects you guys in your day-to-day lives. |
1:35.6 | And I'd like to, Hussein, I haven't heard from you in a minute, so I wanted to ask you and then Alice also. |
1:39.2 | It's a somewhat more personal question for me because my, my partner actually wrote one of the kind of like key reports into Tory Islamophobia |
1:50.0 | and like one of the big ones that got a lot of media attention before a very short period |
1:55.3 | of time. |
1:55.8 | So like when that news broke out, it was like, oh, well, we've kind of like heard about this |
1:59.7 | so many times before. |
