00:00In your tweet, when you said his comments are ill-judged, prejudiced and dangerous,

00:04those three words will come up a lot when people describe Nigel Farage.

00:10So it's pretty extraordinary that they've come up in a tweet that you yourself wrote and you're now the chairman.

00:15But you've got to look through, everyone's going through everything I've ever tweeted.

00:18Yeah, no, but I'm... I've seen all of that coming up over the last...

00:20But we're now talking about policy, reforms policy.

00:23Because those are words people associate...

00:25But let's be very clear here, which is...

00:26And for instance, let me just ask the question.

00:28Zia Youssef, he resigned because of the question asked about the burqa.

00:34That's not true.

00:35Which... Well, it's one of the reasons that he resigned.

00:37He said it's not part of party policy.

00:39That's not why he resigned.

00:40Well, why did he resign then?

00:41He says that he resigned, he was absolutely exhausted and he was working all hours that God sends.

00:45He had so many jobs.

00:47So I think when he was asked the burqa question, I think that was probably the final straw for him.

00:51We've had a long conversation about it.

00:53I spoke to Zia the night before last...

00:55Does Zia now think that the burqa should be banned?

00:58He said on a vote, he would ban it.

00:59OK, so he's now...

01:01So he's now been recruited to that policy.

01:03Because a lot of people...

01:03Well, he has his own mind.

01:04We are...

01:04We asked Chris Bryant, the government minister yesterday, whether the burqa should be banned.

01:10He couldn't think of any reason why it should be.

01:13Why not?

01:14Well, look, I think...

01:16That was almost exactly the words that he used.

01:18Well, I...

01:18But what he said...

01:19So it's a free vote.

01:21It's a matter of conscience.

01:23So it is now party policy, is it?

01:24No, it is not party policy.

01:26But I live in East London and I have seen massive demographic shift.

01:31I don't think in a country like Britain, walking around with your face covered is good in terms of communication and social cohesion.

01:39So I'm very anxious about the rise of people who think it's OK to hide your faces.

01:45We had a conversation yesterday about whether it's a burqa, whether it's crash helmets, whether it's scarves or whatever.

01:50But...
