news. now it's back to . nigel news. now it's back to. nigel >> good evening. well, last night we asked the question, who's in charge? because it seemed when it comes to the march day, nobody march on armistice day, nobody really take responsible really wants to take responsible ability. well, was more ability. well, there was more chaos this morning as we opened our times newspapers to see the home secretary suella braverman . home secretary suella braverman. yes, her again. and she wrote this during covid. why was it that lockdown objectors were given no quarter by public order police yet black lives matter demonstrators were enabled to break rules and even greeted with officers taking the knee right wing and nationalist protesters who engage in aggression are rightly met with aggression are rightly met with a stern response . yet a stern response. yet pro—palestinian mobs displaying almost identical behaviour are largely ignored , even when largely ignored, even when clearly break ing the law. well well, well, she said that. and

of course this comes after describing the marches as hate marches, describing the small dinghies crossing the english channel as an invasion . and channel as an invasion. and indeed very often with suella, i think what she sort of sees well, what did nigel say last week? maybe i'll say it this week, but she, of course, is in the house of commons and is the home secretary and of course being met by howls of outrage by left wing mainstream media, by, of course , virtually everybody of course, virtually everybody in the labour party , but even by of course, virtually everybody many on her own side, the kit malthouse is all of these sort of rather wet tory mps are appalled by what suella has to say . but you know, the way the say. but you know, the way the westminster bubble thinks about comments, thinks about ambitions , thinks about these statements is just so often very different to what you think outside in the country. i have to say, i do think that when it comes to deaung think that when it comes to dealing with pro—palestinian ,

dealing with pro—palestinian, even pro hamas supporters , as even pro hamas supporters, as the police have treated it with kid gloves, yet when the english defence league want to march through east london a few years ago, the march simply gets banned. i've been saying it for the last two weeks. i don't believe the police are being even handed and the daily telegraph have done a snap poll on this asking the simple question should suella braverman be sacked after accusing the police of playing favourites with protesters ? and the result with protesters? and the result is pretty clear. yes she should be sacked, say 28. no she should not be sacked. say 72. and i am absolutely certain that the centre of gravity on this in this country is actually right behind the home secretary . now behind the home secretary. now there are rumours swirling tonight around the bars and pubs in westminster that a rapid reshuffle is on the way and that maybe suella braverman is on the way out. i like very much what

suella braverman has to say. my disappointment is she never actually delivers any of it. but please , i'd love your view. is please, i'd love your view. is suella right? farage at gbnews.com now joining me to talk about this extraordinary article in the times and whether it had authorisation from number 10 and just how much mess and trouble this government may be in is david maddox , political in is david maddox, political editor of the express online. david good evening. welcome back to the show . tell us how did to the show. tell us how did this all happen? was the article approved by number 10, not approved by number 10, not approved by number 10? how much trouble do you think she might be in so high again? >> nigel? it's always a joy to be on the show. um, i have to say that my belief is that the prime minister himself saw it. whether the officials who feel that they need to approve these things got to see it is another

question . it seems that they question. it seems that they didn't and it appears that some edits that they asked for were ignored by the by suella office or by the home office. so, you know , various potential that she know, various potential that she could be in trouble. my feeling is that had he gone to sack her over it, he would have sacked her this morning when the full steam was up. so we'll see. it may be a reshuffle next week, but i've just i've just after talking to a few people, i've just filed a piece which suggests that that could be the end of sunak himself if he tries to do that. yeah >> i mean, the idea that sunak wahaca this morning would mean that there was smack firm that there was a smack of firm leadership decisive leadership and decisive leadership. always leadership. so that was always going unlikely. going to be pretty unlikely. david my view, things david in my view, things just don't seem to work that don't seem to work like that under the sunak premiership or indeed actually many of the premierships the tories have had over the last 13 years. but what interests me, i mean, you know, you are a veteran of the express newspaper group, you know, where the centre of gravity is with

your online and print readers . i your online and print readers. i would have thought most express people would be rather like that telegraph pole and would say, actually, she's right to say these things . these things. >> well, i think we're running our own poll , which >> well, i think we're running our own poll, which is even bigger in its gap from what i last saw. uh i mean, suella as far as express readers , i think far as express readers, i think you're right. as far as most of the country is speaks the truth on these matters and says what most people are thinking . she most people are thinking. she speaks to my heart . most people are thinking. she speaks to my heart. uh, i think she genuinely believes these things too. she's got a very good instinct for the common man, if you like , which seems to man, if you like, which seems to be devoid of most of the rest of the tory benches and the labour benches for that matter. so, you know , but, but there's more to know, but, but there's more to it than this, isn't it? because you know , we know that the sunak you know, we know that the sunak leadership's coming to an end, whether it's before or after an

election, probably after. this is her pitch, this is her saying this is where the leadership battle is going to be fought. her squaring off the right of the party and hoping that's enough to get her over the line. yeah, the right of the parliamentary party, but actually the centre ground of pubuc actually the centre ground of public opinion outside of the confines of westminster. >> david maddox, as ever, thank you for joining >> david maddox, as ever, thank you forjoining me on the you for joining me on the program . i wonder i wonder program. i wonder i wonder whether she actually wants to get sacked, that she might be able to say after they lose the next election. of course, i was forced out for standing up and saying what most conservative voters genuinely believe. who knows? joining me is brendan clarke—smith conservative member of parliament for bassetlaw . of parliament for bassetlaw. brendan, it has been and i put it to you a pretty dismal week for the government. a king's speech that was a complete dud and now a home secretary. and number 10 just not communicate ing or working with each other.

and i think so much is being overblown as well at the moment. >> nigel and having read that times and really i think times article and really i think the secretary stated the home secretary just stated the home secretary just stated the and we've the obvious really, and we've seen all of these things going on, mentioned , the blm on, as you've mentioned, the blm yvette cooper is there with the faux outrage already. she was very critical of operational things with the police, with the sarah everard vigil, of course. and if there was trouble that an armistice day or on remembrance sunday, i'm pretty sure they'd be jumping up in the commons first thing with an urgent question. expect acting, the home secretary or the government to to account with that. to be held to account with that. so home secretary so the home secretary to actually say , you actually come out and say, you know, want to have know, i actually want to have a police force that's accountable. we them. they do a great we respect them. they do a great job. but at the same time, you know, certain know, there are certain expectations so expectations that we have. so she's just doing her job there. there'll be people who don't like her language that she uses. now, don't have a problem now, i don't have a problem with that language. it's the language i use. it's the language my constituents use. and most the

country i think, agree her country i think, agree with her on so i think there's on this. so i think there's a little more at here. really little more at play here. really than is actually the eye. than is actually meets the eye. >> yeah. abby, brendan, look, i'm sure if you around i'm sure if you took me around bassetlaw you know, tomorrow morning we met ordinary folk morning and we met ordinary folk going about their business, as you know, i'm absolutely certain that the vast majority would say, yeah, she's absolutely right . the police are actually right. the police are actually being bias faced in terms of the way they're handling all of this. but the problem is the conservative party and many , conservative party and many, many of your colleagues with whom you sit on those green benches actually are centrists actually , we are social actually, we are social democrats really aren't concerned about immigration numbers aren't bothered about any of these things that are themselves politically correct. members of the establishment. her problem isn't you, the people in bassetlaw. her problem is your party. >> i mean, it seems in terms of

bias, i'm not so sure it's police bias. it's a fairness issue and people see things that are getting banned with things that aren't because they're a bigger group or they're more violent so on. and people violent and so on. and people don't that fair. now, in don't find that fair. now, in terms convincing colleagues don't find that fair. now, in ternotherzonvincing colleagues don't find that fair. now, in ternother parliamentariansiues don't find that fair. now, in ternother parliamentarians and and other parliamentarians and so on, as you know , nigeria, so on, as you know, nigeria, a very broad church at times, and it's shifting that centre of gravity and of course party members don't always have the same views as those of us in westminster . now, i always think westminster. now, i always think i've got a response ability to my constituents, but party members make sure members as well to make sure that we have discussion and that we have that discussion and we're about it and we're we're robust about it and we're doing says on the tin doing what it says on the tin and really we want to celebrate . and really we want to celebrate. you know, what's great about this country ? we want to pay our this country? we want to pay our respects at armistice day and remembrance these remembrance sunday without these yobs going through with. yeah, i'd say they are hate marchers and some people don't like that terminology. some people may have problem with that. have a problem with that. but then i'd also say is if then what? i'd also say is if you're to turn up at one you're going to turn up at one of and you've got of these marches and you've got people with socialist worker placards and things supporting

hamas and making comments about israel or jewish people and so israel orjewish people and so on, and there are some good people going to those marches, but if you like, with dogs , you but if you like, with dogs, you get fleas and you're going to be associated with the people you march you don't march with. and if you don't like that, my suggestion is protest constructive protest in a more constructive way . and saying the way. and i've been saying the same colleagues . same thing to colleagues. >> well, listen, i fully >> well, no, listen, i fully understand that. but again, we've indecisive ness from we've had indecisive ness from the almost nothing from the the met almost nothing from the mayor of london. and the government, frankly, not saying very much. brendan clarke—smith, you know , we talked there about you know, we talked there about the centre of gravity of your party and you said it's a broad church, but i put it to you, you're a broad church with no faith. what actually is the conservative party i mean, at the end of this week , just give the end of this week, just give me one thing that the conservative party stands for , conservative party stands for, or that all wings of the parliamentary party believe in and don't say beating labour. >> okay , well, i joined the >> okay, well, i joined the party because i believe in

choice, and choice is the word i always used. and i think giving that choice to people, making sure that they are in control of their own lives is something that think most that generally i think most people on those benches would agree now, we had agree with. now, we had different on brexit. we different views on brexit. we may different views on may have different views on various other things, but that's something that we something that i hope that we can and i'd say can all agree on. and i'd say a labour government restricts that choice . they more for choice. they want more power for the state and they want more power over people's lives . and power over people's lives. and we've convince people we've got to convince people that we're going to that actually we're going to improve people's lives. now next week going to week of course we're going to have in that's week of course we're going to have to in that's week of course we're going to have to be in that's week of course we're going to have to be coming in that's week of course we're going to have to be coming here. that's week of course we're going to have to be coming here. so at's going to be coming here. so i think there's a little bit of a panic about that as well. i panic about that as well. so i think have think that may also have something the media something to do with the media for today. but again, people for all today. but again, people will ministerial will talk about the ministerial code with suella braverman and that fired for x, that she should be fired for x, y, z. she's not disagreed on any policy , of course, whereas policy, of course, whereas labour party, one of their frontbench has gone over their ceasefire policy. they've got more than a dozen or so are completely insubordinate and i think they want to divert from that. nigel brendan clarke—smith

as ever , thank you for joining as ever, thank you for joining me on the programme . me on the programme. >> well, brendan, doing >> well, brendan, they're doing his best, even that issue his best, but even on that issue of freedom, all we've seen is 13 years of government getting bigger under the conservatives . bigger under the conservatives. next we discuss poppy next we discuss the poppy problem. fewer people out selling poppies, some intimidated and even fewer of us actually wearing them. what has gone wrong .

>> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. we have a poppy problem, and we've shown over the course of the last week, poppy sellers on chafing the last week, poppy sellers on charing cross station surrounded by the pro—palestinian well, i'm going to say mob actually. >> in that case, they were fairly peaceful . but up in fairly peaceful. but up in waverley, the station in edinburgh, the poppy seller there , the 78 year old parachute there, the 78 year old parachute regiment veteran who was there actually punched out and actually was punched out and attacked. we're getting today a story of a lady in northern

ireland selling poppies who has been attacked. and my colleagues here at gb news have noticed travelling through mainline stations for example, places such as liverpool street, they've seen nobody on the station collecting and selling poppies. and here is an astonishing statistic published by yougov . have you worn a poppy by yougov. have you worn a poppy so far this year? and 37% say i have. so far this year? and 37% say i have . and an incredible 60% say have. and an incredible 60% say ihave have. and an incredible 60% say i have not. and i'm stunned by that figure. but i'm pleased to say i'm joined by micky harris , say i'm joined by micky harris, black cab driver and fundraiser. and micky, you've you know , and micky, you've you know, helped the royal british legion. you've taken veterans back to normandy and you're very, very engaged with all of this. something has changed, doesn't it? >> yes , in- >> yes , i it? >> yes , i think it has. i think >> yes, i think it has. i think that it's the demographic of society, really, and it's the distances going backwards through the wars. i mean, coming back to the things that you were

mentioning at the beginning of your introduction there, where your introduction there, where you being properly you see people being properly rounded on a little bit by the propeller palestinian groups rounded on a little bit by the pr0|momentlestinian groups rounded on a little bit by the pr0|moment .�*stinian groups rounded on a little bit by the pr0|moment . that's groups rounded on a little bit by the pr0|moment . that's kind ps rounded on a little bit by the pr0|moment . that's kind of the moment. that's kind of separate to what i want to talk about a bit. but i think about a little bit. but i think that war first world war, that the war first world war, the and most the second world war, and most of veterans now, they're 80 of our veterans now, they're 80 or sorry, they're 98 years old because the war is 80 years ago. and the wars that we see them , i and the wars that we see them, i mean, our grandfathers fought in the wars. my father fought her national service. i was fortunate there's been fortunate enough. there's been no conscription for my age and my children haven't fought and my children haven't fought and my grandchildren haven't. >> beyond. >> so it's moving beyond. although iraq and although we have had iraq and afghanistan yes. afghanistan. yes, yes, yes. >> we've. affects >> but we've. but it affects less before it less people, whereas before it affected nation. so affected the whole nation. so i'm just thinking the i'm just thinking of the plethora sellers, plethora of poppy sellers, people that are going out to carry these things. >> and so you sell these what, from do you? from your taxi, do you? >> go out on remembrance >> well, i go out on remembrance sunday poppy sunday as well. i do the poppy cabs pick the veterans up sunday as well. i do the poppy cabswe pick the veterans up sunday as well. i do the poppy cabswe take pick the veterans up sunday as well. i do the poppy cabswe take themthe veterans up sunday as well. i do the poppy cabswe take themthe their'ans up and we take them to their master, wonderful . yes. master, which is wonderful. yes. and sell these well . and then we sell these as well. and then we sell these as well. and i have in the taxi to and i have them in the taxi to sell to the members of the pubuc sell to the members of the public and if i go to

public as well. and if i go to the there's the local supermarket, there's usually there's a table in there . and again, it's a matter of what area you actually go what area that you actually go to. how many people have to. and how many people have been by a wars in been affected by a wars in general. and is thankful general. and it is thankful getting less less. getting less and less. >> yeah, i suppose even with iraq afghanistan, sheer iraq and afghanistan, the sheer numbers, numbers numbers, the sheer numbers compared with world ii, compared with world war ii, i mean, it's devastating . mean, it's still devastating. >> person loses >> and if one person loses a loved to or a conflict loved one to a war or a conflict and all wars and conflicts are terrible, really, it's a failure of politics, really, isn't it? a war. and we need to stop as many wars as we can, really. and again. but back to the poppies. yeah. >> so and the other aspect, of course, is , you know, we've all course, is, you know, we've all grown up with with poppy sellers. yeah yeah . sellers. yeah yeah. >> in the past. >> in the past. >> how much change, folks today? how much change do you folks at home now carry in your pockets? very little. >> very little. i'm finding that we are fast becoming a cashless society. and this this is becoming this and the royal

british legion, for example, have started to do this and they've come out with cashless cards so people actually do cards so people can actually do cashless donations, touch cashless donations, just touch their and go , which people their card and go, which people are still willing do. it are still willing to do. but it takes a slightly longer it takes longer, as i remember longer, whereas as i remember commuting the of commuting into the city of london, canon london, coming out of canon street, that's it. >> and bosch, quid in >> and bosch, you put a quid in because to change because you've got to change from ticket that from your ticket that you purchase almost still purchase and you're almost still walking and it's also nice and >> yeah, and it's also nice and you the, the you see, you see the, the soldiers , you see they usually soldiers, you see they usually get some nicely dressed in red from pensioners. from the chelsea pensioners. yeah. and are yeah. and, and they are an attraction they attraction and they will encourage to purchase. attraction and they will encourwe're to purchase. attraction and they will encourwe're so to purchase. attraction and they will encourwe're so we're purchase. attraction and they will encourwe're so we're basically >> so we're so we're basically we're carrying less cash which makes this difficult. it's great that rba have moved to this. that the rba have moved to this. >> you you have to >> what you have to you have to move on or just behind move on or you just get behind cumbersome there's queue cumbersome and there's a queue or is. or whatever it is. >> fewer poppy >> but there are fewer poppy sellers out there well. sellers out there as well. >> there there are because >> there are, there are because there are fewer people that are affected are to affected by it are willing to do it yes. well are it well, yes. and well are willing to do it. i suppose people will ask them to people will if you ask them to do it. but would it do it. but what would they do it on every day for? do it. but what would they do it on well, every day for? do it. but what would they do it on well, we every day for? do it. but what would they do it on well, we had ery day for? do it. but what would they do it on well, we had we day for? do it. but what would they do it on well, we had we had for? do it. but what would they do it on well, we had we had ar? >> well, we had we had a situation where the british

legion was legion in brighton was struggling volunteers. so struggling to get volunteers. so we presenters, we sent one of our presenters, patrick christys and patrick christys down and he stood in street did it. stood in the street and did it. and we did raise a bit of money. good. a good bit money. yeah. good. a good bit of money. yeah. >> people >> because people will people will get will donate. if you can get people on streets. people out on the streets. and that's again, that's the thing again, is finding the that the finding the people that have the time inclination do it. >> it. may be fewer people who >> there may be fewer people who have directly affected have been directly affected through mum dad by war and i through mum and dad by war and i completely by that point, you know, and actually i think where you're going there is education, isn't it? >> but if you're 22 years old, 80 years ago, seems like, 80 years ago, it seems like, like like we about napoleon. >> when we grow up. but not quite. not quite. but know quite. not quite. but you know what i mean? >> attila the hun. >> e do have , you know, on >> but we do have, you know, on the curriculum . um, yes, the school curriculum. um, yes, people taught about the rise people are taught about the rise of hitler , etcetera. of hitler, etcetera. >> still in the curriculum . >> still in the curriculum. >> still in the curriculum. >> yes. >> yes. >> so i'm not so sure whether the poppy day is covered. and i think it's also a media coverage by us as well in general. now this time of year, we do a lot on and we will do a on poppy days and we will do a lot. there'll be a big story

a political movement in a sentence or two. tell us what it's all about. >> yeah, look and look, we're absolutely delighted that you've led the way and given us the road map to to how deliver genuine democracy to people in the western cape and effectively , look, south africa has an ideological divide and one half of the country affected is fairly left leaning african nationalist. and, you know, it, you know, economically pursues fairly disastrous policies. and at the other end of the country, we've got a government that is relatively western leaning. can i say capitalistic, social, capitalistic and habitually votes against the national government for 30 years. it never has voted for the for the government that we've got. and effectively, those people have just had enough . as you say, just had enough. as you say, south africa, a failing state, andifs south africa, a failing state, and it's a failing state that we didn't vote in. and can't didn't vote in. and we can't vote we control of our vote out. we want control of our own destiny now , of course, own destiny now, of course, it'll to you, phil , own destiny now, of course, it'll to you, phil, as it'll be said to you, phil, as it'll be said to you, phil, as it to me, this it was said to me, this is impossible bill. it was said to me, this is imfit;sible bill. it was said to me, this is imfit can't bill. it was said to me, this is

imfit can't happen . people would >> it can't happen. people would never support it . do you have never support it. do you have any evidence that people living in the cape actually want a referendum ? i'm absil lutely. referendum? i'm absil lutely. >> so, look, i think you know. what's that? what's that gandhi saying? is it? first they laugh at you, then they ignore you. first they ignore then they first they ignore you, then they laugh . then fight laugh at you. then they fight you. and you know, you. then you win. and you know, we've polled regularly over the last half years and last three and a half years and the last poll was in the last poll we ran was in august year , 68% of people august this year, 68% of people in western cape want a in the western cape want a referendum and 58% want western cape independence. so we are very, very confident that if we can the referendum, we're can get the referendum, we're going to win it. >> you'll be up against the >> but you'll be up against the status you'll be up against >> but you'll be up against the statestablishment,ye up against >> but you'll be up against the statestablishment, you'll|gainst >> but you'll be up against the statestablishment, you'll be nst >> but you'll be up against the statestablishment, you'll be up the establishment, you'll be up against probably the big corporates, not necessarily the entrepreneurs, but the big corporates . yes, you'll be up corporates. yes, you'll be up against constitution . personal against constitution. personal challenges have you got the have you got the heft ? have you got you got the heft? have you got the experience? have you got the team of people that can genuinely fight this? having pubuc genuinely fight this? having public sympathy is one thing, but actually battling against

the establishment is really tough . tough. >> it absolutely is tough. but that's where the fun is, isn't it? in the day, one of the great things get with your movement to with ours is it's an inspiring movement of people that come together from the ground. and actually what achieved so actually what we've achieved so far just nothing far already is just nothing short of remarkable. you short of remarkable. and you know, i love winston churchill quote, and my favourite one is history shall be kind to me, for i intend to write it. and that's our attitude here. so we intend to prevail. yes, i think we can do it. not going to be easy, but we are going to win. and look, we're a long way down the road. we've already may we've already made may politically here and we're only just yeah, just getting started. so yeah, i believe we're going do this. believe we're going to do this. absolutely >> well, to say , absolute >> well, i have to say, absolute pleasure to talk to you. i'm going to watch this very going to watch this with very great interest because i think going to watch this with very gryou nterest because i think going to watch this with very gryou succeeded:ause i think going to watch this with very gryou succeeded ,use i think going to watch this with very gryou succeeded , youi think going to watch this with very gryou succeeded , you might find if you succeeded, you might find a lot of us might want to come and live there. so i wish you well in your endeavours. and thank you very much indeed for joining evening. now joining me this evening. now we're to with we're going to stick with the

engush we're going to stick with the english world, our real english speaking world, our real friends around the world. we're heading off to australia. i'm going to keith pitt, going to talk to keith pitt, member parliament for the member of parliament for the liberal national party of queensland, representing hinkler. is an hinkler. and this is an astonishing story. keith joins me down the line at some ungodly hour. me down the line at some ungodly hour . keith, me down the line at some ungodly hour. keith, as i understand it, a great big wind farm onshore wind farm is going to be built in queensland that will directly threaten the endangered koala bean threaten the endangered koala bear. tell me this surely cannot bear. tell me this surely cannot be true . be true. >> well, it's good morning from me and good evening to you and your viewers . of course, it's your viewers. of course, it's wonderful. australia's the best part of the part the day, part of the part of the day, actually, but you're on. so actually, but you're spot on. so this is 1350 hectares of actual koala habitat which has been cleared for a 450 megawatt wind farm. so that's 100 towers and it's one of many in australia to be honest, that are either underway or proposed or planned. but where are the activists , but where are the activists, where are the greens, where are

the people tie themselves the people who tie themselves to our to stop our railway lines to stop australia's getting to australia's coal from getting to ports and power in the world and lock to equipment ports and power in the world and lochates to equipment ports and power in the world and lochates and to equipment ports and power in the world and lochates and one» equipment ports and power in the world and lochates and one ofquipment ports and power in the world and lochates and one of the ment ports and power in the world and lochates and one of the control the gates and one of the control measures here, nigel, i know you'll love this is if they happen to injure an animal. well, the best way to deal with it is a blunt blow the back it is a blunt blow to the back of skull with hammer a of the skull with a hammer or a crowbar . so this has really crowbar. so this has really starting to get well. it's really starting to get a go on here. and i just can't believe the hypocrisy . if this was in the hypocrisy. if this was in the hypocrisy. if this was in the leafy suburbs of sydney or brisbane, we'd have three, four, 500 activists down there chaining themselves to trees to prevent but because it's prevent this. but because it's regional queensland, about 150km to the north—west of what's known as the beef capital here, rockhampton in yep, nowhere to be seen . be seen. >> no. and tell me, i mean how much trouble the koala in, in. >> well it is listed and as i said if this was something in a regional suburb where we do have koala populations , there would koala populations, there would be absolute turmoil , outrage, it be absolute turmoil, outrage, it would be all over the national

press. there would be people literally strapping themselves to everything to prevent it. but because regional queensland because it's regional queensland andifs because it's regional queensland and it's for a wind turbine and not something else, well apparently that's okay. so i don't understand this . they did don't understand this. they did a survey, they found 17 koalas just in the survey and tell me what chance do you have of stopping it ? stopping it? >> well , it's actually underway >> well, it's actually underway right now, so there are some towers that are already under construction in and from memory, you know, there's 800 tons of concrete in the base alone. >> and these enormous towers have to get up through some very rough and rugged bushland , which rough and rugged bushland, which means you've got to clear enormous and roads. enormous pathways and roads. that's a lot the work is that's what a lot of the work is about. it's a long way from anywhere, honest. yeah. anywhere, to be honest. yeah. and just because wind and just because it's a wind turbine , apparently, that's turbine, apparently, that's okay. can just bypass okay. and you can just bypass all the environmental regulations in australia. >> hypocrisy green >> the hypocrisy of the green movement fully exposed by keith pitt . thank joining us pitt. thank you for joining us early in the morning from queensland. thank you very much

indeed. now something interesting here and you may say i'm being a bit selfish about this, yougov bit this, but when yougov did a bit of polling this week, big sample, 4000 people and they asked people would nigel farage make a good leader of the conservative party? and amongst conservative voters have a look at these numbers. 18% said very good leader, 23% said fairly good leader, 23% said fairly good leader, 23% said fairly good leader , with only 27 good leader, with only 27 against. so that shows us actually within the conservative party, they are now becoming so desperate they even think that maybe i could be the man to save them. well we're some way from that. but it is interesting . that. but it is interesting. now, you may not have heard of the black poppy or more accurately , the black rose , accurately, the black rose, poppy. but have a look at these pictures and we'll show you what it is . so there it is. there's it is. so there it is. there's the there's the black poppy with its little emblem below . and its little emblem below. and what's it all about? well, on the face of it, it's to honour black servicemen , men that were

black servicemen, men that were killed serving in the wars who some people believe are under represented. and you're seeing a picture here of selena carty, who founded this movement back in 2010. but it also represents black people who fought against the british in a variety of wars. and it also represents a demand for reparations . so it is demand for reparations. so it is intensely political, totally be against the spirit of what armistice day, poppy day is all about. and yet i'm very sad to say that on a visit yesterday to surrey , our king king charles surrey, our king king charles war , one of these black poppies war, one of these black poppies there he is wearing a normal poppy there he is wearing a normal poppy and there he is wearing the black poppy below . i doubt the black poppy below. i doubt many of the other media organisations will even pay attention to it. perhaps some won't even notice it. but if

they do do, then the king has made an absolutely terrible mistake or more likely, far more likely, he's been told wear that because that'll show, you know , because that'll show, you know, that you're sympathetic to all of the ethnic minorities and their families in the past who fought in the wars. whoever advised the king to wear that black poppy should be sacked from buckingham palace and out of their job by tomorrow morning . it is a terrible thing to get the monarch to do the whole point of wearing the poppy, the whole point of the cenotaph is that it's not about class or race or rank or what medals you won. it treats everyone dodi absolutely the same . and that's absolutely the same. and that's the way that it's simply has to stay. in a moment, i'll be joined on talking points by craig ainsworth. he is a former royal marine commando who served with distinction in afghanistan, then went on to become a

bodyguard for the beckhams and many other people . it's going to many other people. it's going to be an interesting talk and i want to get his take on what's happening in london this weekend

now a piece of breaking news about the banking sector , which about the banking sector, which i am especially pleased about . i am especially pleased about. sky news has broken the story that says that dame alison rose will not, i repeat, not be getting the bulk of the supposed £11 million that she was going to walk away from that west bank with. so i don't know how much money she's going to get, but she doesn't deserve to get £11 million. and as i told two million. and as i told you two nights we, taxpayer , nights ago, we, the taxpayer, are still in hock to the tune of £33 billion to that failing bank. now, enough of that. it's time for talking pints. and i'm joined by craig ainsworth. craig

welcome to talking pints. great to see you. thank you very much for having me. not at all. former royal marine elite bodyguard. but let's back to bodyguard. but let's go back to the beginning, really quite a chequered from what i can see. start to your life sort of. absolutely. parents split. up you go to australia, you're kind of stranded in australia , but of stranded in australia, but you're quite good at school, aren't you? >> i've always enjoyed learning and bettering myself in every opportunity you can do, which is what drew me to the royal marines. and there's no better way up than actually way to level up than actually joining something like royal marines. >> yeah, you know, you >> yeah, because you know, you were off. were heading off. >> were were heading off. >>the were off were heading off. >>the daily were off were heading off. >>the daily mail. ere off were heading off. >>the daily mail. you off were heading off. >>the daily mail. you were off to the daily mail. you were going journalist. and so going to be a journalist. and so was this thought was there always this thought that military , maybe that maybe the military, maybe the marines where you might the marines was where you might finish up? >> absolutely. there no >> absolutely. and there was no reason it either. i didn't reason for it either. i didn't have members, no have any family members, no friends, nobody were actually serving the military at the serving in the military at the time. was just something time. it was just something i felt always felt a burning urge just always drawn to it a reason i can't drawn to it or a reason i can't explain . explain. >> and the royal marines why the royal if you're going

royal marines, if you're going to join, why with the to join, why not join with the best? i'm imagine, you know, you join and you've heard all join up and you've heard all these about just how these stories about just how tough it is to pass and every one of them are true. >> i can assure you that they put you through hell. well, 32 weeks. it's the longest training, basic training . they training, basic training. they call it basic training, but bafic call it basic training, but basic training on earth. and you actually live every single day of that. you know. so it's amazing the learning curve is steep throughout it. but it's fantastic change me in a positive way as an individual , positive way as an individual, as a person. >> and what made you think you could do it ? could do it? >> i wanted to see if i could i wanted to see if i could achieve something like that. i had bit something like that. i had a bit of audacity to actually believe i could achieve like i could achieve something like that , but kind i could achieve something like that, but kind of i saw that, but it was kind of i saw it as a almost a get out of jail card. i didn't see my life going anywhere. i thought, anywhere. and i thought, if i can royal and be can become a royal marine and be one those guys, then i'll be one of those guys, then i'll be the version myself. and the best version of myself. and that's out to achieve. >> 32 weeks is i tell you, it's the longest 32 weeks of my life .

the longest 32 weeks of my life. well, before you know it, before you know it, you're just you know it, you're not just in the marines, you're the royal marines, but you're in a and a war in >> absolutely. and a war in afghanistan that was at times very bloody . it was certainly very bloody. it was certainly battalions at times , you know, battalions at times, you know, taking casualties and amazing medical backup. >> a lot of blokes being saved . >> a lot of blokes being saved. who would have died in normandy. absolutely and places like that. but still , in terms of injury, but still, in terms of injury, wounding quite significant percentages of people being wounded and killed. >> absolutely . >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> it's devastating. even just not the guys who were killed, but the guys who are injured, who still suffer now with even from the most minor injuries we've, you know, small back injuries injuries , not injuries or foot injuries, not to limbs . so to mention losing limbs. so there's lots of guys out there and girls out there suffering even to this day. >> oh, no. and you were there involved in firefights? >> absolutely . >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah, absolutely. >> genuine battles. what happens to the mind when suddenly you're in a real combat death

in a real combat life and death situation ? situation? >> you know, you're >> you know, when you're building have your building up and you have your you have information that, you know, might kick off at any know, it might kick off at any time, and time, obviously, you ramp up and you get nervous as you start to get nervous as human do go through human beings do go through the roof, the roof, you roof, through the roof, you know, you become so know, you can feel you become so primal. as soon as it kicked primal. but as soon as it kicked off, i just found of off, i just found all of my training and everyone training kicked in. and everyone around the same. around you is exactly the same. and you bond together and you, you bond together of that brothers and it's that band of brothers and it's essentially against the essentially you against the world that very point. world at that very point. >> so we were one of those that's done you did your that's done it. you did your time. served through the time. you served through the war. armistice day on war. it's armistice day on saturday. it's our national act of remembrance on sunday. what doesit of remembrance on sunday. what does it mean to you? >> it's about absent friends. it's about the sacrifice , not it's about the sacrifice, not just of my friends or but the people that came before us. so second world war, it doesn't matter. but the freedoms that we experience today, i feel we've almost a very almost become a very spoilt society forget why we society where we forget why we have freedoms and what we have such freedoms and what we have. and, you know, it's so easy to look over those because of the way society set up these days. of the way society set up these days . for it's about days. but for me, it's about taking that time sit back and

taking that time to sit back and appreciate the sacrifices of all those that went before me. it was interesting. >> we had mickey, the cabbie, in earlier, saying, you know, that some young people are kind of forgotten what it's all i've never what it's all about. never known what it's all about. we have poppies sellers being intimidated, by mobs intimidated, surrounded by mobs at it's not good. is it? >> it's not good. and you know, it's obviously a harsh sense of delusion where the freedoms we have here for freedoms of speech and things that have been earned by that are represented by the guys that are represented by the guys that are represented by in we wear, by the poppies in which we wear, it's a sad state of affairs and i don't understand it, if i'm honest with you. >> well, i'm afraid a lot of us don't understand going don't understand what's going on at it's an at the moment. but no, it's an important craig, you important time. so craig, you know your in the know, you do your time in the military go down this military and you go down this way well—trodden route , which is way well—trodden route, which is for former soldiers, former marines as go into close protection, it's become the kind of almost a standard thing for people to do what fascinates me

about your story is that you decide to go into close protection and kind of before you can say jack robinson, you are doing close protection, not just for wealthy businessmen or politicians or whatever else it may be, but you suddenly get yourself into sort of the big celeb world. >> yes. how how does that happen ? >> 7- >>a ? >> a little bit of luck. every gift in this. but i was very obsessive before i left the royal marines and put a lot of due diligence into the companies and things i worked for. and like when i joined the royal marines best i marines and aimed for the best i could did the same could find there, i did the same in and i very in security and i was very fortunate to procure that position very quickly position and i very quickly found myself surrounded by people like chris hemsworth. sir tom hollands and once your face has been recognised around london and i started my own company , people will recognise company, people will recognise you as that level of security. so that's what you attract . and so that's what you attract. and i found it snowballing and i was very, very fortunate at the very
