Do you believe in Christian forgiveness?
00:02
Everyone believes in redemption, everyone should have second chances.
00:04
Is he not a very good example?
00:06
Nigel, that is not the question I'm asking.
00:07
What I'm saying is there is a discrepancy here between what the court documents said
00:12
and what James has said.
00:14
Is that not an issue for constituents?
00:17
That's the point.
00:18
You go and knock on their doors.
00:20
You go and knock on their doors and I'll bet you, in that part of Essex, there are many...
00:24
The only one by 98 votes and there might have been people, particularly women, that might
00:28
have suffered domestic abuse or violence or assault that might be uncomfortable with
00:33
that.
00:34
Do you take the point?
00:35
No, I don't take the point because I'll bet you there are many young tearaways right now
00:41
in Basel and elsewhere who have been sent off to young offenders' institutes who may
00:45
well go on to lives of repetitive crime, maybe even violent crime.
00:51
This is an example of a human being who's picked himself up from a terrible situation
00:55
and made a big success of it.
00:56
In terms of being an MP and representing constituents, my point here is not what happened.
01:02
My point is that there is a discrepancy.
01:06
He said I pushed that over.
01:07
I believe you.
01:08
I haven't seen the discrepancy.
01:09
But that's the court document.
01:10
It's a spent conviction, end of conversation.
01:11
Well, what did he tell you he'd done?
01:12
Well, what did he say he'd done to you?
01:13
Spent conviction, end of conversation.
