Former UK Gov’t Special Adviser Paul Richards: We’d Have to ‘Lock Up’ Some ‘Pro-Russian Voices’ in Order to Bring the UK Back to Its ‘Greatness’

TRANSCRIPT:

RICHARDS: "You know, I think the British would rise to greatness if they had to. We would have to lock a few people up, by the way. Some of the pro-Russian voices, people are saying there isn’t a threat, don’t fight for your country, don’t go to war for Burnham, we’d have to lock them up."
HOST: "Well, we suspended habeas corpus during the Napoleonic Wars."
RICHARDS: "Well, and under the Defense of the Realm Act as well."
HOST: "Indeed, yeah."
RICHARDS: "So, you know, we would have to go to those measures, and we would have to look at things like conscription as well, to get the numbers up."
