Photograph: Guy Corbishley/Alamy Jack Ross was filmed allegedly discussing with an undercover reporter violent options to deal with enemies A former Conservative election candidate has been suspended from the party after he was seemingly filmed discussing the cost of hiring contract killers and offering to “broker” the services of a far-right activist with alleged paramilitary links.

视频显示,杰克·罗斯疑似向一名卧底记者询问“你想怎么办?”,随后列举了可以购买的暴力选项类型。

Jack Ross was filmed apparently asking an undercover reporter “What do you want done?” before listing the type of violent options that could be bought. Ross appeared to tell the Al Jazeera journalist: “They can just kick the fuck out of someone. That’s a certain amount. They can start cutting people’s faces up, that’s another amount. And they can stab someone. They can shoot someone. They can kill someone.”

罗斯似乎对半岛电视台记者表示:“他们可以狠狠揍某人一顿。那是一个价钱。他们可以开始划烂某人的脸,那是另一个价钱。他们可以捅某人。他们可以枪击某人。他们可以杀人。”苏格兰警方表示,将审查和评估半岛电视台纪录片《合同杀手与极右翼》的内容,以查明是否涉及犯罪行为。

Police in Scotland say they will be reviewing and assessing the Al Jazeera documentary – Contract Killers and the Far Right – for any criminality. Ross is the chief executive officer of Turning Point UK, a spin-off from the campaign group founded by the murdered US Republican commentator Charlie Kirk.

罗斯是“转折点英国”(Turning Point UK)的首席执行官,该组织是由已遇害的美国共和党评论员查理·柯克创立的竞选团体的分支机构。

Footage released by TPUK last year showed Ross and others from the group meeting Kemi Badenoch, the Tory leader, after Kirk’s death.

“转折点英国”去年发布的视频显示,在柯克遇害后,罗斯及该组织其他成员曾与保守党领袖凯米·巴德诺克会面。

A profile page for Ross on the Bow Group, a Conservative thinktank that lists him as a research fellow, states he has advised MPs and candidates on political and digital strategy.

保守党智库“鲍集团”(Bow Group)上罗斯的个人资料页面显示,他作为研究员曾就政治和数字战略向议员和候选人提供建议。他曾与鲍里斯·约翰逊及詹姆斯·克莱弗利、雅各布·里斯-莫格、利亚姆·福克斯等知名人士合影留念。

He has been pictured alongside Boris Johnson and other high-profile figures including James Cleverly, Jacob Rees-Mogg and Liam Fox. Ross was reported by Al Jazeera to have introduced an undercover reporter to a violent criminal from Glasgow with links to the paramilitary Ulster Volunteer Force, who offers to have people killed for money.

据半岛电视台报道,罗斯曾将一名卧底记者介绍给一名来自格拉斯哥、与准军事组织“阿尔斯特志愿军”有联系的暴力罪犯,后者提出可以收钱杀人。

Al Jazeera approached Ross with a fictitious family problem where a deceased uncle’s business was at risk of being taken over by a gang, whose members were supposedly warned they would “get fucked” if anything happened.

半岛电视台向罗斯提出一个虚构的家庭问题:一位已故叔叔的生意面临被帮派接管的风险,该帮派的成员据称被告知如果他们“搞砸了”,就会“被收拾”。

Ross replied to this: “Yeah, you have to deliver on that as well. You’ve got to explain to me what’s needed … I can then go and broker from there. But I’ve got to say, even to myself … if there’s lashback I’ve got to keep my name out of it.”

罗斯对此回应道:“是的,你还需要兑现这一点。你得向我解释清楚需要什么……我可以从那里去安排。但我得说,连对我自己来说……如果会有报复,我得把名字从里面摘出来。”随后,苏格兰准军事联系人在伦敦一家酒店被拍摄到,提出可以安排不同类型的杀人行动,包括肇事逃逸(可以伪装成酒驾)或致命 stabbed。

The Scottish paramilitary contact was then filmed at a London hotel offering to arrange different types of killings, ranging from a hit-and-run that could be made to look like drink-driving or a fatal stabbing. The meeting took pace after Ross, apparently acting on behalf of the Zimbabwe government, had reportedly paid thousands of pounds to the Glasgow activist to organise a fake political rally in support of lifting UK sanctions imposed on the African country.

会议是在罗斯据称代表津巴布韦政府支付数千英镑给格拉斯顿活动人士,以组织一场支持解除对非洲国家英国制裁的虚假政治集会之后进行的。

Ross said: “I have had a few things and some of the Zims [Zimbabweans] have said to me they want stuff done. They wanted a fucking shooter.”

罗斯说道:“我接到了一些事情,一些 Zimbabans [津巴布韦人]跟我说他们想要一些事情被搞定。他们想要一个该死的枪手。”他说他曾让他们去跟准军事联系人会谈,补充道:“我说我不会在任何事情上留下该死的指纹。”虽然TPUK最初作为学生运动成立,但越来越参与到反移民街头抗议活动中。其首席运营官是极右翼英国独立党领袖尼克·坦科尼,2022年他随罗斯访问了保守党大会。

He said he had asked them to talk to the paramilitary, adding: “I said I was not putting fucking prints on anything.”While TPUK was launched as a student movement, it has become increasingly involved in anti-migrant street protests. Its chief operating officer is Nick Tenconi, leader of the far-right UK Independence party, who visited the Conservative conference in 2022 with Ross. Ross was filmed in 2022 telling an undercover reporter they should chat to him about what they wanted, adding “keep it simple” and then listing the various violent options that could be bought for cash, including murder.

罗斯在2022年被卧底记者拍摄到,他告诉对方应该跟他聊聊他们想要什么,说“保持简单”,然后列出了各种可以用现金购买的暴力选项,包括谋杀。

A Conservative party spokesperson said: “Mr Ross’s membership of the Conservative party has been suspended with immediate effect pending an investigation. We cannot comment further while the investigation is ongoing.”

保守党发言人表示:“罗斯的保守党党员资格已被暂停,自即日起待调查结束后生效。在调查进行期间,我们无法进一步置评。”

At another point, Ross expressed concerns that journalists could be recording the sort of things he was saying and could pass them to police.

此外,罗斯表达了担忧,认为记者可能会记录下他所说的话并转交给警方。

“The journalist will put it out there and then the police will pick it up and fuck you,” he said.

“那位记者会把这些东西放出来,然后警察就会来抓你,”他说,“你必须考虑到,如果我们谈论的事情被拍下来,我们就完了——我们会因为阴谋论完蛋的。”

“You’ve got to think that what we were talking about and had someone film it we’d be fucking done for conspiracy.”

Tenconi还在镜头前与罗斯一起,概述了利用足球流氓制造混乱的计划。

Tenconi was also filmed alongside Ross as they outlined a plan to use football hooligans to stir up trouble.

Tenconi表示:“所以让工党上台。所以我们建立新的右翼势力,我们有了这些军队……所以,三管齐下。我们不断赢得议员的支持。然后我们建立第二支力量,组建一支军队,那就是街头示威、抗议,基本上就是把事情搞砸。”

Tenconi said: “So let Labour get in. So we build the new right and we have these armies … so, three-pronged. We keep winning MPs over. Then we build the second prong, we build an army and that’s street demos, protest, just fuck things up basically.”

苏格兰警方发言人表示:“我们已注意到这部纪录片。将对其进行审查和评估,看是否存在任何犯罪行为。”

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: “We’re aware of the documentary. It will be reviewed and assessed for any criminality.”

半岛电视台报道,罗斯“完全”否认了该调查的发现,声称他对卧底记者所说的一切并非认真之意。

Al Jazeera reported that Ross had “completely” denied its investigation’s findings, claiming that everything he said to the undercover reporter was not meant seriously.

罗斯曾是保守党的地方选举候选人,被《卫报》通过TPUK联系要求发表评论。Tenconi也通过其所在政党被联系要求发表评论。

Ross, who was a local elections candidate for the Conservatives was approached by the Guardian for comment through TPUK. Tenconi was also approached for comment via his party.
