France is burning again as the rioting
and violence has entered its fourth week.
Well, despite these protests
supposedly being about
education and poor,
poor schooling standards, here are some thugs setting one alight.
Oh my God, oh my God,
oh my God, oh my God,
oh my God.
Three weeks ago, President Macron vowed to ban illegitimate protests,
but tonight in Paris,
his police have been pelted with stones and bottles.
Lyon, police fired tear gas
at an unauthorised gathering
of up to 3,300 people and made only
13 arrests.
Well, in Bordeaux,
BFMTV says isolated
individuals also
threw projectiles
All of this with 70,000 police
and gendarmes deployed across France and the chaos is still
at police.
ongoing, isn't it? And what
was the Interior Ministry's verdict this afternoon? Broadly
calm and under control.
Is that what a calm looks like in France today, Mr Macron?
Here too, look.
There's nothing bro!
The thing is, Macron knows who's causing all of this.
We all do. Political and seditious acts
by ultra-left groups whose aim is to bring down the republic.
Those are his words, not mine.
And just the other week when we saw this happen in Germany as well,
their interior minister blamed it on troublemakers
from immigrant communities and far-left extremists.
How does all of this end?
That's what I want to know.
And when will these people be happy with the destruction
that they have raged across our continent?
Let's get the thoughts of my panel back in the room here.
Andrew, another weekend, four weeks in a row.
It is astounding to British people to see this,
perhaps not for French people, but it is for us.
And it talks to a broader issue
because these protests are not isolated in France.
They've been in many parts of Europe, Spain, Italy, Germany.
I could go on.
There's been countless.
We're braced to have a similar style protest about the same issue here
in just, what, a few days' time on the 20th of November.
How much worse
do you think it could get? Do you think it could come here?
I do. I really worry that what we're seeing on the streets of Paris...
Could very easily end up here when you have governments
that are so out of touch that drag country into vast amounts of debt,
where society is no longer delivering for people, where
the elitist establishment just continue as they are in their bubble
and ignore the real people in real communities across the country.
People will react.
But we know in France, as I think.
Can and is likely to happen in this country,
we have a very nasty far left and they want
to drag our society down,
they want to overturn the British way of life and I'm seeing signs
of this happening already.
It frightens me and I think that this country
is crying out for a government that's going
is going to protect the British people, clamp down on these thugs, the
These hooligans and these extremists and look after the law-abiding,
tax-paying people of this country.
The problem is we haven't had a strong government like
that, not since Margaret Thatcher.
She knew how to protect the British people.
She knew how to run the economy of this country
so that we actually had a sound financial footing.
All the governments really since
then have allowed this country to unravel.
And we're seeing the consequences on the streets of Paris.
And what I hope is that we see a new government in France,
Marine Le Pen, I think she's the person to come
and get a grip on the hooliganism we're seeing.
This is doing wonders for her polling, isn't it?
She's shot up, I think, 10% in the last few weeks.
Emily.
I'm joined now by the founder and CEO of Tally Money, Cameron Parry.
So what is Tally Money and what does it do?
So you get an everyday account in your individual name,
you get an account number and sort code,
but instead of having an account denominated
in pounds sterling with your bank, you have
milligrams of gold, which we brand as Tally.
The reason why we chose gold, everybody understands gold,
it's universally understood and accepted.
It's been increasing at over 11% on average.
For the last 25 years against the pound.
In the last two years, it's up 60% against the pound.
So if you had, you know.
£10,000 in a Tally account two years ago,
it's now got £16,000 worth of value.
The gold hasn't changed, but the value and your purchasing power has.
And so banks can't keep up with that performance.
How easy is it to get a Tally money account then?
If you're a UK resident, it's really easy.
Just go to your app store, download the app.
You'll need photo ID.
You can onboard yourself in a couple of minutes.
Just your passport, your driving licence?
Yep.
And you're up and away.
So you know what you're getting, it's very simple,
low fees, it's transparent, there's
no hidden fees, there's no FX spreads depending
on the amount you put in and you
just get to go ahead and be productive in your daily life,
build up your savings again
because it's useful to do it now.
I was going to say, so you're not, you don't necessarily,
people are watching this going
oh it sounds a bit scary, you can open a Tally Money account,
transfer, is there a minimum
amount you have to transfer?
No.
So you might think, I'm just going to play with this.
I'm going to put 100 quid in it that I've got this month
and I'm either going to spend it
and see if I feel like I'm getting more value for money
from my sale, from the things I'm buying,
or I'm going to save it and watch how that compares
to maybe 100 quid in your current account.

I guess many young people are,
we can't have this conversation without speaking about the people
who are committing these crimes, and they are young, right,
they are, you can see the footage, they're young people,
they are not just people in the far left, but they're people
who are just looking to commit violence, looking to fight the police,
looking to burn things to the ground, aren't they?
Is that now just a characteristic of democracy?
In the West, do we just have to put up
for people hijacking a lot of these protests?
Is that where Britain's heading?
No, we should not have to put up with this.
Of course, these are protests at the BBC,
I think, called Mostly Peaceful,
which is just absolutely ludicrous.
We all know what we're seeing.
But I think there's two points here.
I have no problem with young people feeling a bit aggrieved with,
you know, governments across Europe.
I think governments have let young people down.
Even in the UK, for example, unemployment rates for the
first time we're actually ahead of the EU
average and I think it's really hard for a
you.
Yeah,
do
you
think...
Sebastian, that democracies across the West have lost control
of these fringe groups on both sides.
Perhaps we were talking about extremism earlier
off the back of what's going on in Poland.
In my opinion, this is another form of extremism.
You're disrupting the lives of ordinary folk.
You just want to go out and get by their day, go to work, go to school.
There's plenty of kids who would not want to take part
in those protests that won't have schools open
on Monday because they've been burnt.
Yeah, I think we have to be really careful about homogenising
the people involved in these protests.
There are lots of
Lots of young people who are simply fed up
of the quality of education they're getting
and the quality of the buildings they're in,
and frankly, fair play to them.
I wish we had a little bit more from that department
where children would take to the streets
if they weren't getting what they were promised from their teachers.
But there are other people, of course,
who are inciting and creating violence,
and we must all condemn that.
What we can't do is merge them all together
and form a conclusion on the protest
based on those who are creating violence.
That's always going to be wrong, but it shouldn't disrupt your...
Right to protest.
What did you make of the German interior minister last,
I think it was last weekend,
when he was blaming migrant communities?
Those were the words he used.
What do you make of it when you hear,
German government's not exactly a far-right government, is it?
And they're blaming migrants,
migrant communities and the ultra-left.
What do you make of those comments?
I just think it's so weak.
I mean, you look at what's coming out of France, particularly.
I mean, I'm not so across Germany, but...
It's people from all backgrounds, isn't it?
And you look at a city like Paris, which is an incredibly diverse city.
So I know there are some people
who want to make everything about immigration.
If you're going to try and seize this one,
I think you're onto a hiding to nothing.
But it does show a lack of integration between communities.
Would you not agree with that?
No, because there are lots of French-born,
white French people who are also doing it
because they're fed up with their education.
The left is, yeah, the left is.
If you massively increase the population of a country
and you don't have the finances and public services
to look after the vast numbers of people coming,
just as we've been foolishly doing,
particularly, I'm afraid, under the last Conservative government,
I'm ashamed of what the last government did.
To allow the population to rise without any plan,
without any democratic mandate.
In fact, the opposite of that.
But I think of my own parents.
Now, they grew up in the East End of London.
They didn't have the wealth.
They lived a frugal life in their early years.
They never rioted.
They never went and burned down schools.
They were law-abiding.
They respected this country.
Their parents, their fathers had both fought in the First World War.
Well, my father actually
was an officer in the RAF in the Second World War.
But they respected Britain.
They respected our society.
But there's a middle ground there.
These people today...
You can't protest peacefully and legitimately.
Yeah, but, Sebastian, I'm afraid
there is too much entitlement today.
And when people don't get what they want,
they riot and they commit crimes.
It's not acceptable.
But this is it.
You're falling into the trap
that I laid out at the start of this.
You can't merge those people together.
Yes, there are people who see an opportunity
and they say, let's throw a firebomb.
And the barrier for that is lower in France.
We know they like to burn a car.
But there are so many people
who are fed up with the quality of life.
We've seen the social contract broken for young people.
We've all fallen victim to it, those of us who were slightly younger.
And fair enough for us to be angry and fair enough
for those who want to go out and protest on the streets.
Yeah.
What do you think is driving all of this, Emily?
What's your gut instinct telling you?
Is this all politics or is this mindless violence?
I think there's a few different things going on,
and that's why it's quite hard to actually pinpoint.
But I think one of the biggest things is a lack of integration
between the communities that live in Paris.
Obviously, we've touched on the point
that there's a lot of multiculturalism,
and I think communities
not fully integrating has caused a lot of tension.
So I think that's one of the biggest reasons.
But I find it quite hilarious when certain organisations
keep trying to pull this back to some school kids
protesting against their school conditions.
I think there's clearly a lot more.
Do you agree with that sentiment as well?
Do you think it's an integration issue?
Do you think that's what's driving a lot of this violence and rioting?
Well, I think that's a very large part of it.
I think that all governments have allowed immigration
to explode over the years
and there hasn't ever been a serious policy
of integrating people into British society.
Now, you know, back again, you know, in the 80s,
we had a prime minister then who was very strong.
And when we had immigration, we had...
30,000, 40,000 a year, and those people integrated
and they became part of society.
They weren't just here to claim benefits.
Now, since then, we've had a gradual increase of immigration
beyond what is possible to assimilate.
So we've got people living in different communities.
Multiculturalism has divided our society.
We have to be one British culture under one British flag,
and we have to abide by a British rule of law.
Until we get back to that,
we're going to have all these divisions blowing up
because people feel they're entitled,
they feel they're victims all the time.
We've got to clamp down on this because they're
actually very privileged to live in this country.
Final words to you, Sebastian?
I've heard a lot of allegations that this is a lack of integration.
I've seen no evidence whatsoever.
I think they're assertions, I think they're baseless,
and I think there are many people who move
here and make very valid contributions
and I'm incredibly grateful to them.
