12:03 am
to deal with any eventuality in the hours ahead . the hours ahead. >> well, the events didn't mar today's two minute silence, which police say was respectfully observed . the uk respectfully observed. the uk paused on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to mark armistice day, the end of world war i, and to honour those who've served in conflict in world war ii, veteran john dennett said the servicemen and women who the ultimate women who made the ultimate sacrifice be sacrifice must always be remembered . remembered. >> and we must never forget that what happened years ago through all the wars that enabled us to be where we are , are like we're be where we are, are like we're lucky . and the kids i hope. lucky. and the kids i hope. i always said to the kids , without always said to the kids, without remembrance and remember it because if you don't it, you wouldn't be here if it wasn't for those lads who gave their
12:04 am
life like and it runs into thousands. >> well, this is gb news live across the uk. i'll be back with more in just under an hour's time. now it's time for the . time. now it's time for the. saturday five. >> it's saturday night and you're with the saturday five. i'm ben, leo and we're in for a lively show tonight. i can promise you that. no time to waste. let's crack on with the first of tonight's discussions isindeed first of tonight's discussions is indeed so. >> it's one subject that's been dominating this dominating the agenda this weekend. pro—palestine weekend. the pro—palestine protests, took place in protests, which took place in london today. now, our very own ben leo was on the scene . let's ben leo was on the scene. let's hear what he made of them. >> okay. let's kick off things with how i mean to go on today's palestine march in london was a disgrace. the police who allowed it to go ahead are an embarrassment and the government has led this country for the last 13 years. is a sham for allowing britain's values to be eroded away under their watch .
12:05 am
eroded away under their watch. and you want to tar all those who oppose these marches as far right as extremists, you must be off your head. it's been reported half of today's march organisers have links to hamas, including one bloke who now lives in a cushy north london flat or house rather, who the us accused of running hamas operations in the west bank. plot terror. get a council house. nice one. and how do these people repay us? they lock london down with from the river to the sea chants calling for the destruction of israel while excusing hamas atrocities of october the 7th. they tear down posters of kidnapped children in completely thick and ignorant to the facts, their hate filled tribalism is the very thing they condemn. israel of doing. these clowns carry signs with swastikas on. yet anyone who doesn't agree with their worldview who is a nazi ? let me worldview who is a nazi? let me tell you, today's march should never have gone ahead. aside from exposing hamas as useful idiots, it's given the green light to extremism in britain. they've emboldened terrorism. i
12:06 am
watch people dying in the london bridge, terror attack of 2017. i saw a young woman with her throat cut. men twisted torsos after being hit by a van on. i'll never forget that night . i'll never forget that night. all the images ingrained in my brain . and six years on that brain. and six years on that kind of extremist ism is still alive and well in britain. and we must never let it happen again . darren, do you agree ? again. darren, do you agree? >> yeah, i do, actually. and i'm very sorry that you went through that. i can't imagine anything more harrowing than those scenes, but it really does highlight what israel's just been through and how actually this isn't just an israeli problem . right? this is problem. right? this is a problem. right? this is a problem in britain. this is going on here at home where we've got people on the streets who genuinely, in my view , are who genuinely, in my view, are glorifying a organisation, a terrorist organisation that is proscribed in this country and actually seeking to vindicate the people that were responsible for the massacre on october 7th. i mean , it is no clearer to me i mean, it is no clearer to me than the fact that the day after
12:07 am
the massacre here is when people started coming out on the streets right before they'd even seen israel's response. exactly exactly. so what more do you need to know? i my mind was made up on these people from october eighth, frankly. yeah >> obe how did we get here? >> obe how did we get here? >> well, we got here because there was an awful terrorist attack in israel. that was prosect rooted by hamas . and prosect rooted by hamas. and then we've got two groups of people, muslims and jews, who are the groups of people in question in israel and palestine who have got a conflict. and we now have that conflict playing out on the streets london. out on the streets of london. but but but about the protesters in particular, because we all know am sympathetic to a know that i am sympathetic to a ceasefire don't think it ceasefire and i don't think it was that the protests went was wrong that the protests went ahead think they ahead today. look, i think they were disrespectful. wish they were disrespectful. i wish they weren't but i stand were disrespectful. i wish they wethet but i stand were disrespectful. i wish they we the british but i stand were disrespectful. i wish they we the british valueiut i stand were disrespectful. i wish they we the british value of. i stand were disrespectful. i wish they we the british value of freeand by the british value of free speech and bannau. i find it difficult that you say there's been 13 years of government. tory government, they've led tory government, and they've led our values and our british values erode and then you want to ban
12:08 am
then say you want to ban a peaceful protest. i would say thatis peaceful protest. i would say that is an erosion of british values and i can't believe if you're saying, hang on, hang on, hang on, if, if this process was a one off, i'd say yes, you know, i'm a i'm a libertarian at heart. >> protest all you want. but they've had four weeks of examples of how these people behave. >> but you to ban >> but you want to ban a protest. how does that work? >> doing is >> what they're doing is illegal. chant illegal. you can't chant anti—semitic from from the anti—semitic chant from from the river the sea calling for the river to the sea calling for the eradication of israel, celebrating the death the celebrating the death and the murder can't murder of civilians. you can't do that. benjamin, these do that. benjamin, should these protests been banned today, protests have been banned today, beanng protests have been banned today, bearing in the four bearing in mind the last four weeks, seen the streets? >> i've said on recent >> well, as i've said on recent weeks know, much to see weeks know, i'm very much to see this from israel's perspective live. and i don't share the view that those 300,000 do. that those 300,000 people do. but think there is but i actually think there is something ridiculous about something quite ridiculous about saying wrong for them to saying it was wrong for them to have protest. in have this protest. but in a different part of london at a different part of london at a different time of day, not at 11 am. on a saturday, where they've been doing it every saturday. so the fact that armistice day fell today was pure coincidence . and i think it
12:09 am
pure coincidence. and i think it is a british value to be able to have that protest. now, the problem, liam, and it's a big problem, liam, and it's a big problem is that this isn't a normal peaceful protest because there is a considerable number of people on this protest who are clearly racist, who are clearly hateful , and who are clearly hateful, and who are saying things that are unacceptable. and i think the difficulty here is that they have every right to do this protest, whether it's armistice day not. far as i'm day or not. as far as i'm concerned, the problem is the police don't seem to able police don't seem to be able to manage sheer who are manage the sheer numbers who are also racist. also just racist. >> well, i just think bearing in mind disgusting we've mind the disgusting scenes we've seen past four weeks seen over the past four weeks that should have and that they should have and beanng that they should have and bearing in mind, course, it's bearing in mind, of course, it's armistice, should have armistice, they should have maybe diane, thoughts? >> yes, i think that a very >> yes, i think that it's a very interesting time because you say that there are racists, but there are also people on the other in the other group who are extremists as well. and they mustn't be discounted . mustn't be discounted. >> and i think they're both racist . racist. >> yeah, they are both racists and there's a lot of misogyny which obviously affects somebody
12:10 am
like me. i for example, after the protest last weekend , i was the protest last weekend, i was in a service station and there was a large group of the pro—palestine protesters pro — palestine protesters choosing , pro—palestine protesters choosing , choosing to pray in choosing, choosing to pray in the reception area. now those particular services have a prayer room. it's toddington north and they have a designated prayer room . but these people prayer room. but these people chose to pray blocking a public space and it was very confrontational because they were not friendly and they were eyeballing everybody. did you feel frightened ? it did. it made feel frightened? it did. it made me very unsettled because i got glared at. and do you know what? like what angers me? the most is that i have friends who love islam and love their religion, and they make jokes. >> let me just play you a quick clip of my chat with some of the guys on the march today. take a look at this. you know that three out of six organisers of
12:11 am
today's march have hinckley links to hamas. >> well, that's a matter of opinion. not i don't share that opinion. >> well, it's fact. actually. i've got absolutely no problem being here today. why are you all masked up, by the way? why are you covering your faces ? are you covering your faces? >> i've got a scarf on. >> i've got a scarf on. >> this is all just terrorist acts. >> should israel exist as state? >> no comment. >> no comment. >> what do you think about the october 7th attacks? >> october 7th. i was actually born the 19th october and born in the 19th of october and my mum born in the 20 for my mum was born in the 20 for that question. all right. all right. people right. most of the people that died military personnel and died was military personnel and stuff like that. >> darren, how are we >> uh, darren, how. how are we meant to deal with people like that guy at the end who that last guy at the end who can't even tell the truth that it was 1400 civilians who were slaughtered 7th? slaughtered on october the 7th? well, really rather well, yeah, it is really rather extraordinary, well, yeah, it is really rather extraord really quite depressing. >> and really quite depressing. i mean, i utterly despondent i mean, i am utterly despondent at seen on our at what we've seen on our streets today. i would argue streets today. and i would argue that actually the frustration that actually the frustration that play out is just that we've seen play out is just a microcosm what we're going a microcosm of what we're going to ultimately, really to see ultimately, i'm really worried trajectory worried about the trajectory that we're actually on right now. and i worry for, frankly,
12:12 am
the social fabric of this country where you've got people saying, i don't recognise what's going on in britain, and i don't share the values of these people who want to eradicate people just because they're jewish. right? that first it's the jews. who's it going to be next? is it the gays next? and the left have got to sort themselves out on this. they're all to shop on this. they're all to shop on this point. i think benjamin buttennorth is the only one with any clarity on this issue right now. and that's not something i've said before. so i'm i've ever said before. so i'm deeply concerned and i think that just shows ben deeply concerned and i think thatjust shows ben , deeply concerned and i think that just shows ben , you've that just shows ben, you've highlighted the idiocy of these people. and frankly, the sheer malice, they don't care . malice, they don't care. >> i mean, it's not like me to defend keir starmer, but i would say the line that keir starmer has taken on this has been quite too. good >> okay, well, yeah, i've >> okay, well, yeah, let's. i've had say about the dangers had my say about the dangers posed by these marches, but do these know what these processes even know what they're actually protesting about? thoughts about? albee has some thoughts on albee take it away. on this. albee take it away. >> few ago , suella
12:13 am
>> a few weeks ago, suella braverman called these pro—palestine marches hate marchers. now that was completely inappropriate in my view, completely below the belt . view, completely below the belt. she should have called them thick marches because it is very clear to me that the young people out on these protests have got absolutely no idea what they are talking about. take a look at this clip from the campaign against antisemitism. >> hamas invaded israel on the 7th of october. what was your initial reaction to that? i don't believe they did it, though. >> come on. i think so. honestly. like i think i need to be a bit more clued up on like everything that's going on. so i feel like i'm not really qualified to answer that too. well i mean, i'm not sure if i've seen anything that mansion thatis i've seen anything that mansion that is . that is. >> imagine that. imagine going to a protest. you knew absolutely nothing about and then agreeing to be interviewed about a protest. you know, absolutely nothing about. i just
12:14 am
can't imagine doing anything, doing anything that stupid. and you see, the thing is, i'm sympathetic to a ceasefire. i can understand hand why these ladies are out there protesting. i think what is going on in gaza is absolutely appalling, irrespective of the fact that i believe israel has a right to defend themselves. what i don't understand is how women like that walk among us and are from my generation. what an absolute disgrace. but you know what? it doesn't stop there either. take a look at this woman who is angry at the government's climate change response. oh, man , i don't have a future . , i don't have a future. >> and you might hate me for doing this. >> and you're entitled to hate me, but i wish you would direct all that anger and hatred at our government when they are betraying young people like me . betraying young people like me. i would love to be there if they did their lawful duty . oh
12:15 am
did their lawful duty. oh >> oh, my goodness gracious me. so this woman is angry at the uk government. is green climate policy despite the fact , policy despite the fact, according to international climate bodies , the united climate bodies, the united kingdom is the second greenest country in the world. yes, you heard it . the second greenest heard it. the second greenest country in the world. imagine being so upset about being part of a country and voting in a government whose climate policy was the second greenest in the world, an absolute disgrace. so my question this evening to you, everyone at home, everyone on the panel is how did we get here? what do we do about these people? and where do we go from here? benjamin buttennorth, i'm going to come straight to you . going to come straight to you. where do we go from here? i mean, look, you know, since youtube came about, you get lots of things where people find an idiot at a protest and try and make a whole group look silly. >> many idiots, ben leo does it
12:16 am
on this channel frequently. you know, i don't think that you should. i mean, look, i don't share their views, the way, share their views, by the way, but think necessarily but i don't think necessarily that that we're stupid that means that we're a stupid generation that in generation. i do think that in the age of social media and i'm identity politics, there is something to be said for people feeling like they want to be a part of a group, though it's part of a group, as though it's in vogue to go to one of these palestinian marches. in vogue to go to one of these pallife'san marches. in vogue to go to one of these pal life's t001arches. in vogue to go to one of these pal life's too easy, as. in vogue to go to one of these pal life's too easy, isn't it, >> life's too easy, isn't it, for these people. they've had no struggle. they've had no struggle. they've had no struggle heartbreak or strife struggle or heartbreak or strife like the guys we've been remembering today on day. >> what would you say to people who actually dispute the who would actually dispute the point and point that you just made and said, our generation, said, actually, our generation, our generation that lived through financial crisis, through the financial crisis, then say then through covid, then i'd say suckit then through covid, then i'd say suck it up, buttercup. >> everything's easy. you got it easy. the internet, easy. you've got the internet, you've unlimited resources. you've got unlimited resources. you've than you've got more knowledge than any previous any other generation of previous passed information generation. >> diane but we're as >> diane but we're still as thick as chips. >> well , do you know what what >> well, do you know what what a alarmed me about those women was? >> i think it was a touch of social contagion, a touch of, oh, yes, everybody's doing this.
12:17 am
so we'll go do it. and it is worrying that there are people who will wave a placard around and not realise that by adding to the numbers they're making something look more impressive than and as we all know, than it is. and as we all know, polity missions very polity missions are very skittish and when they see a lot of people protesting, they start to ideas , which is to change their ideas, which is problematic you want problematic because you want people to stand for something , people to stand for something, gosh, the major problem, again, sadly , you only seem to have sadly, you only seem to have women in those clips and that is a big problem . a big problem. >> i stupid men in ben leo's clips which is great which is good balance. >> but what concerns me is when i do see women sort of protests in favour of hamas and i think do you not understand what strict islamic rule ? strict islamic rule? >> well, it's not the queers for palestine mob. yes. parading down the street with queers love palestine guys, go to palestine. they'll probably throw you off a building. yeah, yeah . building. yeah, yeah. >> it's completely at odds with
12:18 am
the thing that their protesting for. to be for. and there seems to be absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for the people kidnapped. >> darren in on this because you were in the were quite involved in the brexit there brexit movement. there were obviously getting gatherings obviously getting big gatherings of together quite of people together was quite important at getting that that vote ground. did you vote off the ground. did you ever those stupid people ever utilise those stupid people in order get brexit through? in order to get brexit through? >> not. i mean, >> absolutely not. i mean, i would take great offence, an exception to that word being used in that context. i think ultimately this is a form of luxury goods signalling we're no longer is it gucci or louis vuitton that people wear. it's been an absolute moron and supporting a terrorist organisation just to look good on instagram. i think that that is ultimately where we're at and what social media has actually done to people. i think social media has had many benefits , but media has had many benefits, but ultimately we are in the scenario in which people think it's actually good and sensible . it's actually good and sensible. all as a woman or as a queer person to come out. and i hate that use of that word, by the
12:19 am
way. i use that because it's their language, not mine. i used to get called that. it's very odd that that's suddenly become a badge of honour, but i think that explains all of this. it's a form of virtue signalling and i think ultimately ben leo is correct in saying that this is this is because there are no real struggles today. right? people have had it so good for so long. but i'm afraid that's all going to change. >> what about an entrance exam ? >> what about an entrance exam? if you want to go on a protest, you've got to fill in an entrance form and you get a little sticky label to prove entrance form and you get a littleyou :ky label to prove entrance form and you get a littleyou knowyel to prove entrance form and you get a littleyou know what prove entrance form and you get a littleyou know what you're that you know what you're protesting about. >> well, we've done exams on this and didn't do very this show, and i didn't do very well. would mean well. so that would mean i wouldn't get on protest. wouldn't get on a protest. >> stuff, right? >> okay. good stuff, right? still to come tonight, everyone's favourite home secretary. least, secretary. mine at least, anyway. braverman. has anyway. suella braverman. has she far that even darren she gone so far that even darren wants her sacked? the boar fest that was the king's speech. have the tories done enough to earn even benjamin's support? i think i the answer to that one. i know the answer to that one. but coming up next, diane spencer might very spencer on why she might very occasionally drive her
12:20 am
occasionally want to drive her car faster than 20mph. we're going up a gear here with the saturday five live on gb news .
12:21 am
12:22 am
12:23 am
this march have not any intention of doing anything that would . be would. be >> welcome back to the saturday five. as always, thanks for all your emails about tonight's show. so far, helen says. ben never a truer word was said . and never a truer word was said. and it's great to see you on the show. thank you, mum. rosie says it was right to let the marches go ahead and says a lot about this country in a good way. everyone is free to express their beliefs here, and there are many, many places in the world where that is not the case. probably palestine, for example. we're lucky to live in such mitch it's one such a country. mitch it's one thing to have about the thing to have protests about the poll tax this. that was a domestic issue . why should we domestic issue. why should we have about israel have protests about israel and palestine on british soil and
12:24 am
annie says darren looks very smart this evening. where are you going? darren why are you so smart? >> well, i'm so smart to honour and respect the people that fought and died for this country. unlike those heathens out streets. out on the streets. >> good man. right. up next, it's diane. and she's a little bit vexed about modern speed limits. go, diane. limits. off you go, diane. >> the 20 mile per hour speed limit was brought to in reduce collisions injury caused by collisions and injury caused by them. we're not thinking them. but we're not thinking about all the people who are injured inside their cars who are boredom. let's are dying of boredom. let's remember that they said, oh, it will slightly increase your journey time. oh, because that's what we all want, isn't it? an increased commute? because we all know that increasing commuting leads to depression . commuting leads to depression. anne i mean, have you ever met an astronaut at a party? no, because they're miserable. they do say that the 20 mile per hour speed limit helps health and it will make us all healthier. i don't think so. no matter how much i lower my cholesterol, i'll every time i get in my car, my blood pressure is going to go up. also the law is applied
12:25 am
unequally. many times have up. also the law is applied unewbeenv. many times have up. also the law is applied unewbeen on many times have up. also the law is applied unewbeen on [road times have up. also the law is applied unewbeen on [road andzs have you been on the road and somebody whizzes past you on an e—scooter somewhere between e—scooter at somewhere between 30mph warp factor no 30mph and warp factor six? no there's only one place where this 20 mile per hour speed limit should be enforced, limit really should be enforced, and actually outside and that is actually outside schools. us know schools. the rest of us know they should put the brakes on this idea. reverse parallel park it and just let the rest of us continue with our motoring. >> yeah, go on, darling. >> yeah, go on, darling. >> you had said ben was saying to me he going, i want to say things about this . things about this. >> well, look, the i literally have just been done. >> i've just been done it. it's funny. yeah. >> how fast are you going? it's going 24 in a nissan micra. >> do you know how long it takes you to get to. 24mph in a nissan micra and i got pinged for it. >> well look about 15 years ago brighton council where i live probably the wokeist council in britain the first green council in britain by the way. and they had the worst recycling rates in europe figure that one out. they were the first to introduce 20 mile an hour zones down in
12:26 am
brighton . they claimed it was brighton. they claimed it was for the environment . you're for the environment. you're going to be driving slower and actual fact loads of studies have shown that if you're going 20 miles an hour, it's actually quite hard to stick to that limit you're stuck limit because you're stuck in second gear. if you're in a higher gear, your revs are up, your emissions are going to be up. so that was completely debunked. cab debunked. and also i get a cab from the studio after work here to victoria quite late at night and in a rush to get and i'm always in a rush to get the very last train from victoria. like the two victoria. it's like the two minutes past midnight. go down minutes past midnight. i go down park it's 20 miles park lane where it's 20 miles an hour and if get an absolute hour and if i get an absolute square of an driver who square of an uber driver who sticks limit, you should sticks to the limit, you should sticks to the limit, you should stick to the limit. by the way, it's the law. i'm late for my train. have to spend train. i then have to spend another two hours going home because mile an because of a stupid 20 mile an hour limit down lane. it's pathetic. >> commute is massively >> so commute is massively increased? yes. >> the sake of balance, >> just for the sake of balance, i devil's advocate and i will play devil's advocate and defend mile an speed defend the 20 mile an hour speed zone because the whole idea of them, i think at least in wales, zone because the whole idea of them, italkik at least in wales, zone because the whole idea of them, italk aboutzast in wales, zone because the whole idea of them, italk about itst in wales, zone because the whole idea of them, italk about it beingiales, is they talk about it being healthier because going to

12:28 am
question i think actually question time, i think actually you'd the bbc's you'd find that the bbc's eastenders less depressing eastenders is less depressing than episode of bbc question eastenders is less depressing than butpisode of bbc question eastenders is less depressing than butpisonlabour,ic question eastenders is less depressing than butpisonlabour,ic qlisition eastenders is less depressing than butpisonlabour,ic qlis in n time, but the labour, who is in the , he is the shadow the shadow, he is the shadow minister, bryant benjamin. minister, chris bryant benjamin. his my old pal , minister, chris bryant benjamin. his my old pal, i think his brief is my old pal, i think he's chair of the standards committee. he's chair oh, he's not in the shadow cabinet. former chair well, he described it as bonkers and i thought, well good because well, good on you because i completely agree with you. it is bonkers. people are getting frustrated. and the i think actually we saw this play out dunng actually we saw this play out during covid, right. where the welsh government wanted to differentiate itself to prove devolution was doing something and be different from the rest of the country. this is what they're doing on this stupid rule is absolutely doing rule that is absolutely doing nothing for the environment , rule that is absolutely doing nothing for the environment, but doing of a lot for the doing a hell of a lot for the nation's pressure the nation's blood pressure by the nation. wales and i just nation. i mean wales and i just think it's an attempt to say , think it's an attempt to say, look, devolution is actually worth something when we all know that it's the biggest waste of money that we've ever seen. now, benjamin , question for you as well. >> i realise you've got an
12:29 am
opinion, but also 20mph. do we really need speed bumps anymore? >> oh, i hate speed bumps. right? nightmare. but they do serve a rather important purpose so run over so that you don't run over little kids. so it's probably worth look, i don't drive, worth it. look, i don't drive, and that's in everyone else's best interests. but the one thing i would say is that i think it should be zero miles per hour in lots of parts of cities. there should be no cars. you know, no oxford street, the main street in london main shopping street in london should cars. i was in vienna should ban cars. i was in vienna this week. beautiful all their high streets are busy. there's no cars. people around . no cars. people wander around. it's a much better quality of life . don't want cars in life. i don't want cars in cities. >> on that bombshell still ahead, benjamin reckons the king's was the last king's speech was the last squawk a dying government. squawk of a dying government. well, it's a bit dramatic, i'll probably though don't probably agree, though i don't think darren think he's wrong. darren also gets time gets passionate in grime time with fierce defence of suella with a fierce defence of suella braverman you with the saturday five live on .

12:34 am
that's where the chant from the river to the sea comes on. so you've got the jordanian river in and in between there somewhere. and of mediterranean sea , of course the mediterranean sea, which hamas supporters which a lot of hamas supporters despicably want to throw israelis in there . that's where israelis in there. that's where the chant emanates from and onto speed limits. tracy says , well speed limits. tracy says, well done, diane spencer . that's your done, diane spencer. that's your lefty mate, isn't it? >> they're not my mates. tracy i mean, we all know that the left is fractured and you can see why i >> now it's time for our next debate . home secretary suella debate. home secretary suella braverman hit the headlines this week with a controversial newspaper piece in which she argued the police are biased. it seems her job may be hanging by a thread. darren is it time for her to go give over? >> get a grip? of course not. right. and i'll tell you why. because like our viewers, i'm gobsmacked right by what i've seen on the streets today. but then again, maybe i shouldn't, because i tell you what, we had psychic suella, aka our very own
12:35 am
home secretary, suella braverman must have had crystal ball must have had a crystal ball polished to perfection because she the chaos we've she predicted the chaos we've seen unfold . word for word. seen unfold. word for word. picture this politicians right. and the chattering classes are having a collective meltdown over the racist parading through our streets. but hold on a minute. right. where was this outrage when there were calls for jihad, for intifada , for jihad, for intifada, anti—semitism and wiping israel off the map ? they were all off the map? they were all flavour of the weekend , week flavour of the weekend, week after week. since october 7th. the sort of stuff that also qualifies as racism . and where qualifies as racism. and where were they at calling that out? not a whisper from these hypocrites. even in the wake of those hamas atrocities on october 7th, there is shameless as a streaker at a football match. and who's the villain of their pantomime? well, of course, it's none other than suella braverman. it's suella derangement syndrome, because she penned a piece in the times about two tier policing and
12:36 am
these hate marches as if every tom, dick and harry on the streets today were suella disciples acting on her every word so well . as been banging on word so well. as been banging on about two policing and hate marches and the alienation of those who hold our national remembrance dear and guess what? if you ask me , she's not just if you ask me, she's not just mystic meg. she's nostradamus because she hit the nail on the head about this weekend shenanigans. we've got pro—palestine ruffians draping our war memorials in foreign flags, treating the machine gun corps memorial at wellington arch like it's their person plaything. and if that wasn't enough, we've got hamas style headbands making a fashion statement in london on armistice day, no less. we heard in that email that ben just read out how important this day is to people who've known, those who've served and even lost their lives in our armed forces. served and even lost their lives in our armed forces . and then
12:37 am
in our armed forces. and then there's the tale of two tier policing , a crackdown on union policing, a crackdown on union jack and saint george flag wavers. while turning a blind eye to the pro—palestine lot, launching fireworks and missiles at our bobbies. i must have missed the memo where that kind of violence got the green light. so if you ask me, i say there it is clear as day suella braverman wasn't just right. she was prophetic . the telegraph says prophetic. the telegraph says 72% of conservative voters reckon today's protest should have been a no go. out of respect . but i think they're respect. but i think they're spot on. i'm with them. i'm with suella. she saw it coming a mile off. the question is which side off. the question is which side of the line do you stand on today ? i know where i'm at and today? i know where i'm at and i know where suella braverman is at. do you , ben? i mean, are you at. do you, ben? i mean, are you unapologetically supportive of what suella braverman said? i think she's been utterly vindicated today . vindicated today. >> absolutely. and i think she speaks for the majority of right of centre brits and the fact
12:38 am
that all the right people have got their knickers in a twist about not only her column about the police , but about the police, but about multiculturalism , immigration multiculturalism, immigration and even the homeless tents , and even the homeless tents, she's hitting all the right notes with the centre right argument . and in actual fact, argument. and in actual fact, i want the tories to be obliterated at the next election. i want them to rediscover their conservative values with people like suella at the maybe even nigel at the helm. maybe even nigel farage. if he does well in the jungle can garner a new jungle and can garner a new base, should he go into the jungle. so yeah, i support her with with no i'll be with with no qualms. i'll be would you leave the conservative party if suella braverman man becomes minister? party if suella braverman man bec no es minister? party if suella braverman man bec no .; minister? party if suella braverman man bec no . i minister? party if suella braverman man bec no . i can't minister? party if suella braverman man bec no . i can't seeiister? party if suella braverman man bec no . i can't see any'? party if suella braverman man bec no . i can't see any situation >> no. i can't see any situation where i'd leave the conservative party. to be honest. i'm a i'm a desperate for a seat. that's. that's what i'm here for. benjamin. not desperate for benjamin. i'm not desperate for a seat. thank you very much. but what say about suella is what i will say about suella is that, look, there are things that, look, there are things that suella has said which i think totally right on. think she's totally right on. i think she's totally right on. i think was totally think she was totally right about policing. i about the two tier policing. i think look at how the
12:39 am
think if we look at how how the sarah protesters were sarah everard protesters were treated the pandemic and treated during the pandemic and the protests treated during the pandemic and the treated protests treated during the pandemic and the treated during protests treated during the pandemic and the treated during the)rotests treated during the pandemic and the treated during the pandemic were treated during the pandemic , totally different. police , totally different. the police were heavy handed with the women on common basically did on clapham common basically did nothing lives nothing at the black lives matter protest. think matter protest. yes, i think both protests are worthy causes, by the way. i'm making both protests are worthy causes, by ipointly. i'm making both protests are worthy causes, by ipoint that i'm making both protests are worthy causes, by ipoint that i'm rightking both protests are worthy causes, by ipoint that i'm right on; the point that she was right on that. my issue with suella that. but my issue with suella is i don't understand what the tory see in her, if she'd tory right see in her, if she'd actually delivered something other than rhetoric , i could other than rhetoric, i could understand it. but what policy is she actually delivered? nothing what has she done in her time in government? nothing. she just talks on noise. she just makes noise . and then there's makes noise. and then there's mayhem that happens around her and there's not much else. so that why i don't support that is why i don't support suella, not suella, because she's not good at her job, which is being suella, because she's not good at her secretary. h is being the home secretary. >> you not argue though? >> would you not argue though? that's there is blob that's because there is a blob that disagrees with everything that disagrees with everything that tries to do. i don't that she tries to do. i don't think it's good enough. you can't get this through. i don't think good enough for think it's good enough for politicians their politicians who can't make their arguments. say there's a blob >> well, to say there's a blob stopping or the chancellor stopping me or the chancellor stopping me or the chancellor
12:40 am
stopping arguments stopping me, you win arguments by making arguments, by making good arguments, having good them. good evidence, and winning them. and she's clearly not a very effective politician. well, you can't able to do can't do if she's not able to do anything home secretary. if can't do if she's not able to do anyilook home secretary. if can't do if she's not able to do anyi look at home secretary. if can't do if she's not able to do anyi look at whenl secretary. if can't do if she's not able to do anyi look at when theresa ry. if can't do if she's not able to do anyi look at when theresa may was you look at when theresa may was home used similar home secretary, she used similar inflammatory language, but she actually got stuff done. >> did not. theresa may >> oh, she did not. theresa may was as much use as a child. >> immigration was lower under theresa may than under suella structured brexit tried to stitch with stitch the country up with a dodgy under theresa may than under suella braverman. dodgy under theresa may than under siella braverman. dodgy under theresa may than under si would averman. dodgy under theresa may than under si would arguean. dodgy under theresa may than under si would argue that >> no, i would argue that actually jeremy hunt and rishi sunak wetter sunak are proven to be wetter than not as and than and not as pocket. and that's suella that's why actually suella braverman anything braverman can't get anything through. but benjamin buttennorth i actually think that you must be looking at the scenes that we've seen on our streets today and saying, you know what, she's quite right. suella no, it's like, you know, peenng suella no, it's like, you know, peering into a parallel universe where ben says that she's hitting all the right notes and everyone agrees with her. >> well, there was poll >> well, there was a poll this week found suella week that found that suella braverman unpopular braverman is the most unpopular politician in britain by quite an achievement . you know, you an achievement. you know, you talk about the canary. your
12:41 am
whole monologue was , look, 72% whole monologue was, look, 72% of tory voters think the protest should have been banned. suella was right. hang on. she didn't ban protest . and has ban the protest. and she has that power law . she didn't do that power in law. she didn't do it. it's typical everything it. it's typical of everything with slow sue. she says she'll do something . she tries to do something. she tries to pander to people on the right of the tory party because the only job she cares about is the next one as tory leader one she wants as tory leader and she actually do she doesn't actually do anything. if think she was anything. if you think she was right and that you should have banned , then tell me banned the protest, then tell me why didn't she? >> because she's not the prime minister of the united kingdom of great britain northern of great britain and northern ireland. you're ireland. i think actually you're proven, benjamin. how out of touch left are and the touch the left are and the labour party are when it comes to the views of the red wall . to the views of the red wall. that's why you lost the red wall and you're going to continue to lose them because tell you lose them because i tell you what, watching the what, people are watching the scenes unfold in london today what, people are watching the scerthey're ld in london today what, people are watching the scerthey're saying,ndon today and they're saying, i don't recognise own country. the recognise my own country. the people, the labour party are offering succour and support. >> the i don't recognise >> the people i don't recognise are the tommy robinson yobs

gb news. welcome back to the saturday five, as always. thank you so much for your emails. five, as always. thank you so much for your emails . a big much for your emails. a big response to diane's rather desperate attempt to escape a speeding van earlier this evening. susan says , hi guys. evening. susan says, hi guys. i'm living in wales. i'm a driver living in wales. whilst i don't agree with the 20 mile an hour speed limit, what gets my blood boiling even more is when drivers insist on doing 15 in a 30 mile an hour zone. >> oh. thoughts and prayers, thoughts and prayers to you, my darling . darling. >> says. i am 50. i live >> becky says. i am 50. i live in is no public in wales. there is no public transport. it sounds a bit rubbish. my house is in a rural area. is not a good call, area. 20mph is not a good call, lorraine says. benjamin i don't think i want to read this, says benjamin is on the money. public transport are even better. walking is the best to walking is the best way to travel on lorraine. travel around. come on lorraine. >> that myself, >> i did send that one myself, but much like lorraine kelly,
12:48 am
lorraine is my public profile, not my real self. >> he goes on, in the future they will look back and laugh at us charging around on our own, in our little boxes , in our little metal boxes, puffing pollution. okay. yeah. richard i've richard says. first time i've watched. brilliant. good to laugh. thank richard. oh, laugh. thank you, richard. oh, right for our next right now it's time for our next debate. benjamin, and he's debate. it's benjamin, and he's going to his forensic going to give his forensic analysis of probably, in my opinion, the most boring king speech history of this speech in the history of this country. benjamin, take it away . country. benjamin, take it away. >> yes, it was the king's speech, the first king's speech in 70 years. this week. it was the last legislative agenda to be put fonnard in this parliament and almost certainly the last one from a tory for a long time. and what did rishi sunak do for this big moment, this big final pitch to try and win some voters back so that there's at least one tory mp after the next election? well, he had almost nothing to say. just 21 bills were put fonnard, which was some of the fewest ever announced in a monarch speech to parliament. and it was
12:49 am
one of the longest speeches he's ever given. so he says a lot, but has no plans of doing anything . and among the stuff he anything. and among the stuff he announced was saying that we should get tough on crime, that we should have longer prison sentences and he delivers this on the back of 13 years where now we are so short of prison cells that judges are having to let people out early. they're even planning to rent prison cells from other countries because the system is so messed up and then one of the big questions of the day, the nhs, more than 6 million people sitting on waiting lists. one of the reasons why we have so many millions of people unable to work because they're getting sick and what did rishi sunak have to say in the king's speech that he put fonnard ? and nothing that he put fonnard? and nothing absolutely nothing on fixing the health care crisis . this, let health care crisis. this, let alone issues like inflation or the economy . and so that's why the economy. and so that's why it couldn't have been clearer in this king's speech that this government is tired out of ideas
12:50 am
and needs to be out of office. it's now i'll be. you're a desperate tory hack . desperate tory hack. >> how do i know you were going to come to me first? benjamin >> what i genuinely found remarkable . double dare i be remarkable. double dare i be objective is that this really is an opportunity for the government to have a pitch to voters to try and lay out something exciting and enticing . something exciting and enticing. and i was genuinely amazed that there was nothing new in there. there was nothing significant in there . do you think that just there. do you think that just exhausted it? >> no, i don't think the government is exhausted. i do think there could have been more in the king's speech. of the in the king's speech. one of the things was disappointed things that i was disappointed not see in there as the vice not to see in there as the vice chair the lgbt plus chair of the lgbt plus conservatives conversion conservatives was the conversion therapy ban. that's therapy ban. but that's no longer happening. and fair enough prime minister for enough on the prime minister for making decision. so there making that decision. so there were speech were parts of the king's speech which disappointed about. which i was disappointed about. there were other parts the there were other parts of the king's which i thought king's speech which i thought were some of were quite good. i think some of the two that the new two bills that were coming things coming through on crime, things to arbitration an issue to do with arbitration an issue also people who were in favour
12:51 am
of the smoking ban, which is very popular with the british public, that was also there. public, that was also in there. so definitely things so there were definitely things in excite the in that bill to excite the british people. but the question is, get us is, is that enough to get us over at the next over the line at the next general election? and i'm not sure i still we sure if it was. i still think we need some more big ideas. >> i think it was small ideas. i mean, know smoking ban is mean, i know the smoking ban is popular, but look, it's not going to sway anyone's in going to sway anyone's vote in reality. i suspect darren, these are days of are the last dying days of a crumbling tory failed empire, aren't they? crumbling tory failed empire, areiwell, ey? crumbling tory failed empire, areiwell, i? of zoned out >> well, i sort of zoned out a little i heard that there little bit. i heard that there were fewer prison cells, but after listening to that, i think were fewer prison cells, but afte gottening to that, i think were fewer prison cells, but afte got fewer to that, i think were fewer prison cells, but afte got fewer brain at, i think were fewer prison cells, but afte got fewer brain cells .hink i've got fewer brain cells because actually if you actually argue that the labour party would make all of these issues better, you can go sing for your supper. crime and law and order in this country under sadiq khan has been an absolute travesty. theidea has been an absolute travesty. the idea that that's all going to get better under labour pull the other one, benjamin , even the other one, benjamin, even you can't sell that one. you work for a newspaper. >> it's rich, you know, from someone who voted to theresa may i suspect the only prime
12:52 am
minister that's ever defunded the police when she was home secretary. 20,000 police officers were sacked . so if you officers were sacked. so if you talk about why crime has gone up, which it it might have up, which it has, it might have something with that. ben, something to do with that. ben, you're sort of crazy right wing. do you think there's version do you think there's a version of party that could of this tory party that could win you over in government now? >> no, they're finished . i want >> no, they're finished. i want them obliterated out of office. yes, i want a labour government . yes, i want a labour government. i want five years of chaos under labour and that should hopefully put up the tories put a rocket up the tories backsides to rediscover some conservative , as do what conservative values, as do what their members want them to do. because at the moment they're just completely undemocratic, because at the moment they're justlisteningzly undemocratic, because at the moment they're justlistening to undemocratic, because at the moment they're justlistening to the emocratic, because at the moment they're justlistening to the people tic, because at the moment they're justlistening to the people that not listening to the people that pull the strings and are most important. and as i say, i important. and yeah, as i say, i want to get want the tories to get absolutely because absolutely annihilated because they deserve it. >> when you make an omelette, you eggs. you smash all the eggs. >> doesn't matter. even if >> it doesn't matter. even if you're not using them. >> so you would really rather keir starmer was prime minister. we we need we this country >> we need we need this country to the pain , the pain to experience the pain, the pain so can rediscover my for what so we can rediscover my for what you wish for. let's move on. so

1:05 am
while people march for palestinian cause, why do we march for palestinians and not others? benjamin i mean, i think it's a very good point because as you know, in yemen and syria and so many other countries where huge numbers, hundreds of thousands of people have been killed and some of those muslim countries . countries. >> and yet, strangely, it's this conflict that people always get hung up on, on the specific point about ukraine, you know, i am cynical that there is an axis of authority aryanism between china and iran and russia , and china and iran and russia, and they benefit enormously russia from distracting everyone from what's going on in ukraine. it is you know, they're not doing a terribly good job at trying to invade ukraine. they've been struggling. is best struggling. but this is the best help they have is to help they could have is to distract the world. and you see in the us now that you've got two wars that are very expensive , for for , the appetite for paying for them going think them is going down. i think russia's probably delighted. >> there's an issue with >> there's also an issue with ukraine fatigue , which is ukraine fatigue, which is something that president zelenskyy spoke about because
1:06 am
we've actually had the we've actually just had the first anniversary of the liberation kherson , which liberation of kherson, which is wondrous . have we really heard wondrous. have we really heard about that in the news? are we celebrating that? no and zelenskyy is obviously very worried that . ukraine is going worried that. ukraine is going to slip out of the news and then all his funding will go and we heard that footage from the italian minister who was italian prime minister who was tricked up the tricked into picking up the phone. tricked into picking up the phone . did you see that story? phone. did you see that story? >> he said, oh, yeah, we're all getting tired of ukraine and now we're trying find way getting tired of ukraine and now we'ioftrying find way getting tired of ukraine and now we'iof it. ng find way out of it. >> and that is not what the ukrainian want to hear. ukrainian people want to hear. and bit odd and it's a little bit odd because to where because i got to a point where i was watching news about was watching the news about ukraine okay, and now ukraine thinking, okay, and now the news our country. the news about our country. what's happening in our country like, yes , this is incredibly like, yes, this is incredibly important, but what's happening and we're very focussed on and now we're very focussed on the conflict in the middle east and, and yeah, it's just completely slipped out of the news. >> well, you talked about ukraine fatigue. there isn't half of that down to i don't know if you saw that clip that did the rounds this week online
1:07 am
of zelenskyy pleading the of zelenskyy pleading down the camera, more camera, saying, i need more money, more money. i'll money, send me more money. i'll do it on credit. if needs be, i'll pay you back after the war. aren't we just getting bit aren't we just getting a bit bored sending to money bored of sending to money ukraine lots ukraine when there's lots of problems that we could problems back home that we could be sorting out? >> if that you >> well, if that works, you know, be asking know, i'll be asking the internet credit card know, i'll be asking the interbut credit card know, i'll be asking the interbut look, credit card know, i'll be asking the interbut look, i credit card know, i'll be asking the interbut look, i actuallyiit card know, i'll be asking the interbut look, i actually thinkd bill. but look, i actually think that ultimately there's going to be conversation on be a wider conversation on ukraine perhaps a push ukraine and maybe perhaps a push back, especially when it comes to the american conversation, because re—elected because if trump is re—elected next year , that's going to be next year, that's going to be a very different conversation to the that we're having right the one that we're having right now . now. >> e- now. >> on, nigel farage >> okay. moving on, nigel farage was fuming when it noted was fuming when it was noted that seen that king charles was seen wearing black poppy. not your wearing a black poppy. not your red one, a black one. on the face of it, it's a gesture to acknowledge the immense sacrifice made by people of colour around the colour from around the commonwealth the commonwealth who fought for the country remembrance day , country. but on remembrance day, we remember people, the red we remember all people, the red p°ppy we remember all people, the red poppyis we remember all people, the red poppy is for people of all colour and all creed. so should the king have worn the black? poppy alvi yes. >> i was delighted to see the king wear a black poppy. look,
1:08 am
at the day, if you're at the end of the day, if you're upset about a black poppy, i've got here. i went down got one right here. i went down to black cultural archives to the black cultural archives in today to go and get in brixton today to go and get this black poppy. and this one, too, to go understand about too, to go and understand about the sacrifice that black the huge sacrifice that black people made from around the world. hundreds of thousands of black americans, black africans and black caribbean people actually fought in both world wars and all this little poppy is to commemorate them, because often they're completely forgotten. it's not a group of people who are really talked aboutin people who are really talked about in schools their about in schools in their contribution war and that contribution to the war and that is why i think this sort of thing is should we have a look at nigel's rant about this? >> can up their >> and viewers can make up their mind, a look. >> and viewers can make up their miris a look. >> and viewers can make up their miris it a look. >> and viewers can make up their miris it all a look. >> and viewers can make up their miris it all about. well on the >> is it all about. well on the face of it's to honour the face of it, it's to honour the black servicemen that were killed in the wars who killed serving in the wars who some people believe are under represented. and you're seeing a picture here of selena cassie, who founded this movement back in 2010. but it also represents black people who fought against
1:09 am
the british in a variety of wars . and it also represents a demand for reparations as okay, well, we'll let the nation decide on that. >> i mean, i think i agree with nigel, but there we go. doctors have accused britain's largest onune have accused britain's largest online pharmacy of making it too easy to get a sick note after launching a service allowing people to be signed off work by recording a 32nd video describing their symptoms . or describing their symptoms. or i've got a bad stomach. if you submit the recording before 9 pm, they receive sick p.m, they can receive the sick note from gmc registered note from a gmc registered doctor the same day for £39. doctor on the same day for £39. diane are we a nation of skivers ? >> no, but clearly we're a nafion >> no, but clearly we're a nation that , >> no, but clearly we're a nation that, you >> no, but clearly we're a nation that , you know, love nation that, you know, love doing selfies and require acting lessons because before it was so difficult to get sick. note you had to warm yourself up. you had to go , and i am measles and you to go, and i am measles and you had to walk into the doctors and 9°! had to walk into the doctors and go, oh, i just i just don't think i could go into work for six, seven, eight days. >> there we go.
1:10 am
>> there we go. >> but now, now it's so easy. these people have got no training. i expect rada is fuming to be honest. >> ben, how many stickies have you pulled this year? >> i remember when i was a kid, the only day i ever skived off school and i made weetabix and orange threw it the orange juice and threw it on the kitchen floor to look like vomit. >> genius. see creativity. >> genius. see creativity. >> because >> and then it was because gordon was giving was gordon brown was giving was giving a budget and i was desperate stay at home and desperate to stay at home and watch it rather than go to school. goodness. nerd school. oh my goodness. nerd >> a nerd. >> you're a nerd. >> you're a nerd. >> not very nerds ? >> really not very nerds? >> really not very nerds? >> no , but look, do you know >> no, but look, do you know what i don't think we're a nafion what i don't think we're a nation of skivers. >> actually, all the evidence says that britons work long hours , work very hard, and yet hours, work very hard, and yet we're still a pretty unproductive economy . so i think unproductive economy. so i think the problems we have in this country are not from people skipping work because they're pretending to be sick or not working long enough. it's because structurally we're not very productive in the jobs we do place. do in the first place. >> i disagree. £39 for a sick note and a day off work. well, could an extended week off

1:19 am
isn't it? how dare i? i felt it was really important to show my respect today for not only our fall and in the first and second world war, but those who've recently fallen in the afghan wars over 400 british families have lost loved ones, relatively recently. and they're still suffering. and i feel like it was the right thing to do, especially today. of all today's when there's a sort of climate of hate that's been going on on the london streets and in our stations for the past four weeks. >> yeah . did you have any >> yeah. did you have any trouble with the pro—palestine mob today ? mob today? >> i the only time i came into contact with them was at the victoria tube station . and there victoria tube station. and there was a moment where i had to leave the carriage because i felt some very unwanted , intense
1:20 am
felt some very unwanted, intense stares that felt uncomfortable. and i trust my instincts. and i got off the carriage and i waited for another one to go back. waited for another one to go back . i'm waited for another one to go back. i'm just i'm deeply saddened that they felt today was appropriate to march in hundreds of thousands like this, especially seeing all the footage and the placards, you know , they talk about far right know, they talk about far right yobs. the only people carrying placards with swastikas were those in the pro—palestinian marches . yeah. marches. yeah. >> disgraceful. you tweeted about that earlier tonight. you said suella was right. week after week, we've seen how jewish hatred and racism has been emboldened by soft touch responses . don't tell me these responses. don't tell me these protests are about peace. i don't know if we've got a picture of the tweet, but explain to us the placards that you saw . you saw. >> so these these have been going on for weeks. people who attend the marches saying they're peaceful. no, they march alongside those who carry placards like this because
1:21 am
they've been doing it again and again . they know islamist again. they know islamist radicals infiltrate these marches and anti—semites. but they choose to march with them . they choose to march with them. and i tell you something i did today was when about an hour after . the to two minute after. the to two minute silence, i was near parliament square and i was starting to hear football songs being chanted . and i thought, i don't chanted. and i thought, i don't want to share a platform with an energy that has felt a bit sour. i'm going to leave straight away. if only people on the pro—palestinian marches did the same, but they seem quite happy to march with haters . to march with haters. >> so the pictures that you tweeted there was one with a some a white british lady carrying a placard with the star of david that had morphed into a swastika for example. i mean, it's just repulsive . now, look, it's just repulsive. now, look, i blame the tory government for 13 years of this nonsense that we've seen on the scenes of london today . we've seen on the scenes of london today. how do you think
1:22 am

1:23 am
allowed to root in this country and that have been given cover and that have been given cover and sanctuary by the hard left. they have not been robust enough , and they've created a climate of fear and no go areas for our jewish communities by not being tough enough decades ago. yeah it's disgraceful . it's disgraceful. >> and just bearing in mind the fact there's only 300,000 jews in this country, i never knew that until a week or so ago. and i astounded at just how few that until a week or so ago. and i them tounded at just how few that until a week or so ago. and i them are. ded at just how few that until a week or so ago. and i them are. soi at just how few that until a week or so ago. and i them are. so look, st how few that until a week or so ago. and i them are. so look, belinda,lw of them are. so look, belinda, moving on. ah, well, beating production you're production team. tell me you're making your debut as one of the five. next week. you'll be in here with so look fonnard five. next week. you'll be in he seeing so look fonnard five. next week. you'll be in heseeing you so look fonnard five. next week. you'll be in heseeing you then. look fonnard five. next week. you'll be in heseeing you then. but: fonnard five. next week. you'll be in heseeing you then. but fornnard five. next week. you'll be in heseeing you then. but for thed to seeing you then. but for the time being, you so much. time being, thank you so much. you're a legend. you're a friend. we'll catch you next week. >> so see you later. lovely. >> yes. now, ahead, folks, >> yes. now, still ahead, folks, we're to be joined we're going to be joined by bobby of aren't bobby davro, of course, aren't we? tease that. but the we? so tease that. but the i think what she was saying there, bob, belinda has saw is familiar with what diane was saying. just just earlier in the last hour.
1:24 am
if no one caught that diane, you were saying that actually there were saying that actually there were people praying outside of a prayer room on a service station, and you felt quite intimidated by that. belinda saying intimidated to saying she felt intimidated to such an extent that she had to get of tube station. get out of a tube station. i mean , what's going on here where mean, what's going on here where women in britain are feeling intimidate and threatened ? intimidate and threatened? >> well, it's simply that it's i read somewhere that committing an act like that is a form of jihad. >> now , i read that and i'm not >> now, i read that and i'm not saying that that is what those people were doing. maybe staring at women, staring women. >> it staring at women and no, it was the praying purposefully . it was the praying purposefully. >> see, the thing that i experienced , which was i was in experienced, which was i was in a service station . it the a service station. it was the reception their prayer, reception area. their prayer, their prayer. they're praying , their prayer. they're praying, literally blocked the entrance . literally blocked the entrance. so you couldn't go in without sort of shuffling around people, praying . and there was a praying. and there was a dedicated prayer room. now there is a chance they did not know that there dedicated that there was a dedicated prayer room and it was raining
1:25 am
outside . right. outside. right. >> benjamin, you're >> but, benjamin, you're muttering and shaking your head there. issue with there. what's your issue with concern praying ? concern about public praying? yeah, sorry. finish that. yeah, sorry. finish with that. apologies thing is that it was the balling because you can the eye balling because you can feel your if you're an intuitive person, which a lot of us are, you can when somebody you can feel when somebody doesn't and they're doesn't like you and they're glaring at you. >> she just described that >> and she just described that on train carriage to the on that train carriage to the point she to get off point where she had to get off the carriage because i'm the train carriage because i'm sorry, like said before, sorry, but like i said before, i know a lot of muslim people who follow islam and they're brilliant, wonderful people. but there are some who take elements of islam and completely warp it and really push it and they're the people who don't want people like me to have an education and all of that. >> yeah, yeah, totally. i wasn't actually muttering. >> i was just breathing. ben sorry about but you know sorry about that. but you know what i would say is that , you what i would say is that, you know, what belinda described with that tube train is something that a lot of jewish people have been feeling to the
1:26 am
extent and half of that 300,000 lives in london, that they don't leave their homes on the weekends. a jewish friend of mine sent me a text the other day and it was a screenshot of one of his relatives and she runs a small business and someone had found out that she was jewish and therefore said, i don't want to do business with you anymore and i think that situation is sadly a lot more common than you would expect. you saw it at a university in the last week or so where they refused to play a jewish sports team in the university because they were jewish. what you need to say to these people is that you are not helping anybody in the middle east by extending that bigotry into your lives. here. you're making everyone's lives harder here. >> yeah, i'll be just touching on your point of public praying. >> i know a lot of people receive some flack when they raise concerns about that mass call prayer in in in call to prayer in in in whitehall, just outside downing street the other week. i was
1:27 am
unsettled by it. is that a fair assessment to have when you see that kind of thing? i mean, they shut down whitehall for it, for god's sake. or is it is itjust bigoted? >> i don't know that it's bigoted . feel unsettled by bigoted. i feel unsettled by that thing , too. i just that sort of thing, too. i just do. don't know why it is. it do. i don't know why it is. it just me feel unsettled just makes me feel unsettled when break out into when people just break out into prayer in public spaces. by the way, i feel very unsettled by christians who shout on megaphones, so it's megaphones, by the way. so it's just people in general just religious people in general shouting christian country , shouting on a christian country, not culturally ben, not culturally christian. ben, but what i'm saying is what i don't like is when i feel that things are being shoved down my throat mind it's throat and i don't mind if it's a muslim doing that or a christian doing it. i don't like it. and i understand why it. and i can understand why people feel uncomfortable people feel very uncomfortable and put off by that. and i think what have seen in this what we have seen in this country in this city today, are the worst elements of society come out. we've seen racists on the come we've the far right come out. we've seen anti—semites on the left and within muslim population and within the muslim population come . and it just it's come out. and it is just it's terrifying . and it's really i terrifying. and it's really i don't recognise the country that
