should be involved in this in a second. but he's basically saying way track and saying we're way off track and you've got kind of you've got people kind of criticise whole criticise saying the whole get together cop28 anyway because together of cop28 anyway because you're heading off there in you're all heading off there in your private etcetera, with your private jets etcetera, with not care for the world when it not a care for the world when it comes emissions while comes to your emissions while simultaneously lecturing us on ours. you make to all of this? >> look, let's separate a couple of things out. firstly, the idea that britain's a world leader. nobodyin that britain's a world leader. nobody in china or america or india would really matter cares a jot . what are they doing? they a jot. what are they doing? they simply they've made no simply don't. they've made no changes back the fact changes on the back of the fact that we have the that we are leading. we have the first, second and third and fourth farms in the fourth biggest wind farms in the world. we generated over 50% of our power in renewables that hasn't changed any of their behaviour. but it's done, hasn't changed any of their behcostjr. but it's done, hasn't changed any of their behcost usbut it's done, hasn't changed any of their behcost us an it's done, hasn't changed any of their behcost us an awfulit's done, hasn't changed any of their behcost us an awfulit's ofne, it's cost us an awful lot of money. now i believe we should do these renewable do some of these renewable things, do things, but we should do it at a decent pace shouldn't decent pace and we shouldn't live this that we're live with this idea that we're helping see the helping everybody see the future. they don't care. they really, what really, really don't care what we're are less less we're doing. we are less less than of emissions in the than 1% of emissions in the world. if turned off all the world. if we turned off all the lights now, nobody lights right now, today, nobody would notice and nobody would care. selling it the care. so stop selling it to the british we be

british people that we should be spending billions of our tax money the rest of the money to help the rest of the world because it's not true. >> this is in >> i know. but this mantra is in everybody's manifestos , everybody's manifestos, including, of course, the tories and labour. you're all obsessed with this. >> it's nonsense. look look, we need a power system that helps us run our affairs cheaply. so we should have a mix of renewables based on nuclear so that we keep lights on. that we can keep the lights on. but keep telling people but while we keep telling people we're lead the we're doing this to lead the world, keep giving world, while we keep giving billions of taxpayers money to somehow up for technology somehow make up for technology that developed everybody , that is developed by everybody, i think wrong. and the i just think is wrong. and the idea we're some world idea that we're some world leader more time, nobody leader one more time, nobody cares what we're doing . cares what we're doing. >> harsh. >> harsh. >> no, hard to argue with it. actually. there is an awful lot of around this debate. actually. there is an awful lot of sean around this debate. actually. there is an awful lot of sean said, round this debate. actually. there is an awful lot of sean said, our|d this debate. actually. there is an awful lot of sean said, our emissions ate. as sean said, our emissions compared to china and the us are absolute paltry. you see the graphs . we're down there on the graphs. we're down there on the floor and china and the us are kind of up here. so there is a very limited impact that we can have. so you have to ask why are politicians just peddling this agenda ? not that i'm not green.

agenda? not that i'm not green. you we want to better, you know, we all want to better, less polluted environment , but less polluted environment, but why doing it? arguably why are they doing it? arguably they're it because they they're doing it because they want , you know, preen on the want to, you know, preen on the world stage and they want to be seen you know, doing the seen as as you know, doing the right being right on right thing and being right on in terms of planet. but the in terms of the planet. but the problem posturing will problem is that posturing will have on ordinary have an impact on ordinary people when you people in this country. when you look net zero, look at the rush to net zero, for example , that is not without for example, that is not without consequence . it's okay if you're consequence. it's okay if you're rich, okay. you know, if rich, it's okay. you know, if you it. but if you're you can afford it. but if you're an ordinary person, you're an ordinary person, if you're someone fossil an ordinary person, if you're somiindustry, fossil an ordinary person, if you're somiindustry, particularly fossil an ordinary person, if you're somiindustry, particularly iffossil fuel industry, particularly if you're worried about that cliff edge transition and you're worried about what the future edge transition and you're worrie hold, jt what the future edge transition and you're worrie hold, jt you're he future edge transition and you're worrie hold, jt you're heworking might hold, if you're a working class going to be class person, what's going to be the electric cars and the cost of electric cars and heat pumps in the future? and whatever energy bills sky whatever with energy bills sky high at the moment and people suffering in terms the cost suffering in terms of the cost of crisis struggling suffering in terms of the cost of make crisis struggling suffering in terms of the cost of make crisismeet,truggling suffering in terms of the cost of make crisismeet, there ing suffering in terms of the cost of make crisismeet, there has to to make ends meet, there has to be a balance. and my fear in this debate isn't this whole debate is there isn't a balance terms of, on a balance there in terms of, on the one hand, wanting to be green wanting green and wanting to reduce pollution and fossil fuels and improve the environment , but improve the environment, but understanding the impacts on

ordinary people. >> look at something >> and let's look at something that prime minister said >> and let's look at something that he'sime minister said >> and let's look at something that he's right.inister said >> and let's look at something that he's right. heter said >> and let's look at something that he's right. he saidaid >> and let's look at something that he's right. he said we're where he's right. he said we're going for going to need fossil fuels for many, many, many years to come. um, that how it's been um, but that isn't how it's been spoken and, and why this spoken about and, and why this is important we're talking is important. we're now talking about . so and that's about reparations. so and that's about reparations. so and that's a horrific word. so we're basically saying we have to transfer some wealth, transfer some of our wealth, which is generated which by the way, is generated by poor people here. by some very poor people here. we have to sell that to other people because of people in the world because of something that we did in the past. so let's very clear. past. so let's be very clear. the revolution was the industrial revolution was the the the entire world. the development capitalist development of capitalist technology has lifted more people out of poverty than anything else. so the idea that we somehow are guilty, i find actually quite offensive. but then so i mean, we all talk about china and we all know that china are one of the major polluters. >> but ultimately, one of the reasons for that is because so many people now outsource their manufacturing to china . so, i manufacturing to china. so, i mean, i dread to think of i go around looking at clothes, whatever items , and most of them whatever items, and most of them will now say made in china. so thatis will now say made in china. so that is one of the reasons that

the emissions in china are so high. what could then high. so what you could then say, the flip side of it is right. i'll you what, let's right. i'll tell you what, let's bnng right. i'll tell you what, let's bring in bring our manufacturing back in house reduce house then. so that'll reduce china's everyone china's emissions. but everyone here will have pay a pretty here will have to pay a pretty penny more because to manufacture here is a damn sight more expensive. well hold on. >> i think we should bring our manufacturing >> i think we should bring our manufacturirbut let's >> i think we should bring our manufacturirbutlet's clear. people jobs. but let's be clear. if the manufacturing if we bring the manufacturing back, we then increase our emissions. point emissions. this is my point about this my emissions. this is my point aboutabout this my emissions. this is my point aboutabout emissions. my emissions. this is my point aboutabout emissions. we're all point about emissions. we're all unkedin point about emissions. we're all linked in a certain sense, and we need do stuff we all need to do our stuff because you could argue china manufactures more efficiently than people that than other people that could lower don't know. lower emissions. i don't know. but the point we but i go back to the point we are spending so much money on this we're talking about this now. we're talking about paying this now. we're talking about paying reparations . that should paying reparations. that should not until two things not happen until two things happen. keir not happen until two things happen. has keir not happen until two things happen. has to keir not happen until two things happen. has to tell keir not happen until two things happen. has to tell usieir not happen until two things happen. has to tell us what he's starmer has to tell us what he's going to do. it's all very well him finger we him wagging his finger saying we have what's he going have to do more. what's he going to going to pay for to do? who's going to pay for it? with the british public it? and with the british public should bit should be consulted a little bit more spent. more on the money being spent. >> labour through more on the money being spent. >> through._abour through more on the money being spent. >> through. what's through more on the money being spent. >> through. what's your:hrough and through. what's your guys going to do about it? >> oh, they're completely signed going to do about it? >> oithe ey're completely signed going to do about it? >> oithe neta completely signed going to do about it? >> oithe net zero npletely signed going to do about it? >> oithe net zero agenda. signed going to do about it?

>> oithe net zero agenda. igned up to the net zero agenda. i mean, militant mean, they are militant environmentalists. that's the truth the truth of it. people on the left generally are we need what i call moderate environmental ism, and we're getting militant enviro mentalism. and that will impact people in the pocket. it's almost luxury belief it's almost like a luxury belief that as i said earlier, that people as i said earlier, can afford if they're affluent . can afford if they're affluent. but we have to balance these things about you what is things about, you know, what is going impact on going to be the impact on ordinary people . ordinary working class people. and the truth is, whether we like not, it is down the like it or not, it is down the list of priorities for working class yeah, they're class people. yeah, they're worried cost living worried about the cost of living crisis. worried about crisis. they're worried about nhs they're nhs waiting lists. they're worried a lack border worried about a lack of border control. they're worried about worried about a lack of border contand they're worried about worried about a lack of border contand they'rethey'red about worried about a lack of border contand they'rethey're worried law and order. they're worried about antisocial behaviour on their streets . they're worried their streets. they're worried about housing crisis . can about the housing crisis. can they, know, their kids get they, you know, their kids get on ladder you on the housing ladder when you say important say to them, look, the important of your life, where of net zero in your life, where does stand whether you does it stand then, whether you like it or not, it is not up there. it is not up there. and you lecture people about, you can't lecture people about, oh, you're not interested in saving the planet. people are under of under pressure. and because of that , it's not under pressure. and because of that, it's not something that they see as a priority and labour needs to take that into

account rush to kind of account in this rush to kind of posture and look good posture and preen and look good amongst contemporaries and amongst their contemporaries and look good among liberal environmentalists . they have to environmentalists. they have to understand ordinary understand what our ordinary communities, working class communities, working class communities in post—industrial britain say in about net zero. and it's not very much. but when they do talk about it, they do like it a lot. >> let me throw it open to you guys how important is guys at home. how important is net you? for an net zero to you? because for an awful people i don't know awful lot of people i don't know if grandkids awful lot of people i don't know if whatever, grandkids awful lot of people i don't know if whatever, futureandkids awful lot of people i don't know if whatever, future ofikids awful lot of people i don't know if whatever, future of the; or whatever, the future of the climate and for it to be as well as possible is up there on your radar, isn't it? but then i think perhaps it's a separate thing when it comes to you. then as an individual having to fork out for that and or out and pay for that and or having life altered having your life altered as a consequence. me how consequence. tell me how important of this is to you. important all of this is to you. keep your christmas trees coming in well . steph nick cor in as well. steph and nick cor blimey, just sent me a blimey, they've just sent me a picture of their 14 foot christmas tree. 14 foot. i'll try and share that with you guys. apparently takes all guys. apparently takes them all day decorate. don't guys. apparently takes them all day that decorate. don't guys. apparently takes them all day that asecorate. don't guys. apparently takes them all day that as well. e. don't guys. apparently takes them all day that as well. try don't guys. apparently takes them all day that as well. try andt doubt that as well. try and share with you. 14 foot. share it with you. 14 foot. you've blown my mind anyway.

cancelling the planned lighting of hanukkah menorah , they of the hanukkah menorah, they found it offensive to our jewish brothers and sisters. and i have to say, i agree with this bit massively. one should be massively. no one should be afraid practice, celebrate or afraid to practice, celebrate or express our express their faith in our country. menorah is country. a menorah is celebrating. jewish festival celebrating. a jewish festival will not inflame tensions and cause offence. and they were calling on the council to reconsider their decision and not help feed hate and anti—semitism in britain. anyway, they went on to say that they will offer their steward to ensure the smooth running and security at any events and they would stand shoulder to shoulder with british jews in the face of the scourge of anti—semitism. we'll here to that. anyway, we'll hear here to that. anyway, there's been some meetings had today different today with various different rabbis and jewish groups and now the council quite sensibly, if you ask me, they've u—turned on that decision and now said indeed that their plans will go ahead. now sean, you actually live in this council area, so what do you make to it all? >> there's two things i say. the council made an initial

decision. i imagine decision. i would imagine in view the tension that view of all the tension that there's been london. so for there's been in london. so for viewers live in london viewers who don't live in london with marches, tommy with all the marches, tommy robinson arrested, people with all the marches, tommy robins(to arrested, people with all the marches, tommy robins(to be arrested, people with all the marches, tommy robins(to be arresoff,. people having to be pulled off, statues, the council statues, etcetera, the council are probably thinking of a small jewish in havering. jewish community in havering. we do to be focussed do not want them to be focussed on, attention. on, on or come under attention. so decision now so they made that decision now for the muslim council of britain say, look, we don't britain to say, look, we don't like i think correct like that. i think it's correct that their that that's certainly their stance on it. and one of the things that makes britain one of the greatest countries on the face of the planet is that you can whoever you like can worship whoever you like publicly well. maintain publicly as well. so to maintain that, important , that, i think it's important, but to support the but i have to support the council we a faith council here. we have a faith forum havering . the council forum in havering. the council has to them. they have has spoken to them. they have spoken local spoken to local rabbis, local priests, , and come to priests, etcetera, and come to an about but when an agreement about it. but when an agreement about it. but when a to reduce a council tries to reduce tension in the area, i think that's a correct thing to do. >> i mean, >> you see, i mean, there's a lot to unpick there. i mean, i don't know what the arrest of tommy got do with don't know what the arrest of torthe got do with don't know what the arrest of torthe fellow got do with don't know what the arrest of torthe fellow was got do with don't know what the arrest of torthe fellow was only do with don't know what the arrest of torthe fellow was only eating/ith it. the fellow was only eating his if you if you his breakfast, and if you if you ask mean, was ask me, i mean, that was an example finest example of one of the finest examples policing examples of two tier policing that for a long time.

that i've seen for a long time. but because it's live court but because it's a live court case, i don't want to be done for court. so for contempt of court. so i can't get into that can't really get into that story. know, cannot story. but you know, you cannot wander society wander around in society threatening other people . right? threatening other people. right? you just can't. that's not what society is all about. and if people are going to do that or the potential to do that, the reaction from the council surely shouldn't be to change their ways. so, you know what to avoid them lot kicking off. we just not going to lie our candles. we're not going to do our celebrate ation because surely that's look, response from >> so look, the response from the council will always and should be to reduce should always be to reduce tension, keep people safe tension, to keep people safe locally. should we acquiesce locally. now should we acquiesce or not? but we have other or not? no. but we have other agencies. the police , for agencies. the police, for instance, with those instance, to deal with those sort things and the sort of things. and i know the council been council would have been confronted with community confronted with a community that is if you're jewish in is scared if you're jewish in london , you are terrified london now, you are terrified and the council wouldn't want to shine a light on you unless they felt that you were to prepared deal whatever came. deal with whatever came. and that's made that's why they probably made the course, the decision. of course, i wasn't there. just. wasn't there. i'm just. i'm just. just supposing what

just. i'm just supposing what they but what i do they would do. but what i do like is that people have come together said, actually, together and said, no, actually, this ability in this is about the ability in this is about the ability in this worship whoever this country to worship whoever you i'm our you like. and i'm proud of our local for standing up local council for standing up for people and the for local people and also the local saying, we're local people saying, no, we're going this . going to deal with this. >> paul, think it was a bad, >> paul, i think it was a bad, bad, bad decision . there bad, bad, bad decision. there are always flashpoints in the world, in the middle east and elsewhere. india and pakistan are always at each other's throats over kashmir. i can't imagine the council would have banned you know , banned either, you know, something celebrating diwali , something celebrating diwali, something celebrating diwali, something associated with eid, for example . all in that for example. all in that particular case, i don't think they've probably done it in the past. whenever those flashpoints have as i say, have occurred as i say, flashpoints the east flashpoints in the middle east all somebody all the time. so somebody somewhere this somewhere sat and thought this is thing do , uh, is the right thing to do, uh, you know, to alienate effective the jewish community and to make them, whether deliberately or otherwise, it probably wasn't intentional, but otherwise, it probably wasn't intentional , but nonetheless, to intentional, but nonetheless, to almost make them scapegoat for, you know, israel is doing you know, what israel is doing in gaza at the moment. and saying, because of israel saying, because of what israel is doing , you know, you're not

is doing, you know, you're not going to to celebrate going to be able to celebrate what would normally what you would normally celebrate. they celebrate. i'm not saying they intended the intended that way, but the perception among jewish perception probably among jewish people was, hold on a second. they they they seem to be punishing us for what's going on over gaza . so it seems over there in gaza. so it seems to me no one really thought this through and it's had an impact on the jewish community. and i agree it's good the agree it's good to see the muslim association of britain come out and say, look, we'll steward it necessary to make steward it if necessary to make sure can go ahead. i'm sure that this can go ahead. i'm not particularly favour not particularly in favour generally kind of generally of councils kind of having a public policy where they promote different faiths and they promote different cultures. i mean, people of course are entitled to their faith culture. faith and to their culture. i don't understand why we make such a thing sometimes. i'm not talking about this incident particularly, country particularly, but as a country of promoting so much kind of separateness and difference. but then we get into the whole debate about multi culturalism and particularly state sponsored multiculturalism, whether it's a good thing, whether it's a bad thing, whether it brings people together or whether it fragments people, to

people, i think it tends to fragment people, not that i don't believe that have don't believe that people have got the right to practice their faith. absolutely have. i faith. they absolutely have. i i disagree. two levels. >> of course, the state sponsored multiculturalism was a very left wing thing, which was was about dominant people's political space. but when it comes to faith, one of the things that this country has had a proud history of people of faith , always rubbing along faith, always rubbing along nicely together and actually are very at including people of very good at including people of no idea that faiths no faith. the idea that faiths in this country are actually each is simply each other's throat is simply isn't council isn't true, and that council should that, because should promote that, because for many communities, particularly should promote that, because for man place munities, particularly should promote that, because for man place as nities, particularly should promote that, because for man place as diverseyarticularly should promote that, because for man place as diverse of icularly should promote that, because for man place as diverse of london, in a place as diverse of london, faith is the first place that people can meet and have a community. so i'm very up for councils doing the same. schools do of stuff. do it all, all kinds of stuff. but to , uh, to, to the but i go back to, uh, to, to the council havering . i know that council in havering. i know that they wouldn't have done this to scapegoat the jewish community. what would have done what they would have done is thought very few jewish thought was very few jewish people with a small jewish community, be community, they could be vulnerable . there been vulnerable. there have been massive tensions in london. let's that tension. let's just lower that tension. >> but there wouldn't have been i mean , i know romford sean like

i mean, i know romford sean like you do, wouldn't have been you do, there wouldn't have been tensions in havering. i'm pretty sure between i don't think there is a great big muslim community in havering. certainly when i live 6.2, yes, there was massive. >> that's the point . if you look >> that's the point. if you look at havering and right down into redbridge, not big as some. >> it's not as big as but it's very in london. in london, very big. >> very, very, very big. . >> very, very, very b|g. big. >> very, very, very big. and we've had traditional jewish we've had a traditional jewish community quite community there that isn't quite as big now. we've had little to no trouble at all in hundred jews in havering . and 6.2. jews in havering. and 6.2. >> so nought point 5% of the population in havering are jewish and 6.2 are muslim. yeah >> so again, the communities are of very different sizes. >> some london, but it's big enoughif >> some london, but it's big enough if you're the council, you don't care. >> rightly what happens >> rightly so. what happens elsewhere? your job is your ground and they would have just been imagine, let's been thinking, i imagine, let's make sure we don't have any flare up here. >> but the history of the place, if there had been marches in havering recent weeks or havering over recent weeks or months even years, if there months or even years, if there

had tensions breaking out, had been tensions breaking out, if had been tensions breaking out, h been had been tensions breaking out, if been altercation if there had been altercation happens on the street, if there had been, you know, real conflicts between the muslim and jewish communities, i can understand that. then a council saying, , we probably need saying, look, we probably need to take the heat out of this thing. we want to do thing. we don't want to do anything incendiary, that anything that's incendiary, that inflames the situation in. but to , none of that to my knowledge, none of that sort stuff ever gone on sort of stuff has ever gone on in the idea that in havering. and the idea that i think community would think the muslim community would have would i'm not saying you're saying the way, but the saying this, by the way, but the idea the muslim community idea that the muslim community would idea that the muslim community w> you could be right. >> you could be right. >> why they've >> and that's why they've u—turned, honest, u—turned, let's be honest, they've because they they've u—turn because they realise they've they've u—turn because they realsome, they've they've they've u—turn because they realsome, they've u—turn1ey've they've u—turn because they realsome, they've u—turn because got some, they've u—turn because they've got some support and i wouldn't use the term u—turn. >> i hate that when a council is listened. politician listened. when a politician is listened, we say you turn to embarrassment. a embarrassment. they've made a different embarrassment. they've made a differen got some support. but embarrassment. they've made a diffypointot some support. but embarrassment. they've made a diffypointot s0|councilyort. but embarrassment. they've made a diffypointot s0|council all but the point is, a council all would wanting to not have would be wanting to not have something happen and that's the most important because once the genie is out the bottle, the genie is out of the bottle, the council in all council would have been in all kinds people have

kinds of trouble. people have been all kinds of pressure. been in all kinds of pressure. and when the spotlight gone, been in all kinds of pressure. an(inrhen the spotlight gone, been in all kinds of pressure. an(in havering;potlight gone, been in all kinds of pressure. an(in havering;potligistillgone, been in all kinds of pressure. an(in havering;potligistill have we in havering would still have to it. so to have dealt with it. so i still like the council made still feel like the council made the right decision in the beginning the beginning and they made the right decision. once they realised get realised they're going to get some realised they're going to get son but realised they're going to get sonbut just i don't agree with >> but i just i don't agree with what you're saying. so the what you're saying. so i get the concept saying, concept of what you're saying, which is the council want to keep everybody safe, and i get that. and it's a noble aim. good high five to everyone there. high five to all everyone there. but suggesting is but what you're suggesting is that the council there that the council sit there and 90, that the council sit there and go, there's risk go, right. so there's a risk here. let's not beat here. so let's let's not beat around were around the bush. what they were sitting is that sitting there saying is that they that is they fear that there is a collection of radical islamists that are going to take offence at this jewish celebration. that's what that's what the bottom line is. let's not beat around the they're around the bush. they're not terrified some random terrified that some random christian because it's not a christmas tree, is going to come and kick off at these lights. that's not what this is about. it's about people that got it's about people that have got the israel gaza the issue on the israel gaza conflict licked and that they're importing that conflict into these council's these streets. the council's then there and gone. right. then sat there and gone. right. there's . there's a there's this fear. there's a collection. must collection. they must think there's collection of radical

there's a collection of radical islamists going to islamists that are going to damage celebration. islamists that are going to da|what celebration. islamists that are going to da|what they've celebration. islamists that are going to da|what they've cydoneition. islamists that are going to da|what they've cydone isyn. so what they've then done is they've cancelled the they've then cancelled the jewish celebration pander to jewish celebration to pander to those fanatics, which which just briefly , which just briefly is briefly, which just briefly is exactly what the fa did after the hamas attacks on the 7th of october with the with the israeli flag over the on the wembley stadium. >> and they specifically said the it was because of what the fa it was because of what the fa it was because of what the some people in the local community what their reaction would be to it. and let's be blunt, talking about blunt, they were talking about radical in brent or radical muslims in brent or wherever. there's point wherever. there's no point glossing that, their glossing over that, what their reaction it . and reaction would be to it. and they that basis not they decided on that basis not to to display the flag. and to not to display the flag. and the danger is when you get into backing down and not doing things would otherwise things that you would otherwise do public because do as a public body because you are that certain are worried that certain elements of the community are going to kick up, then you're giving in to that, into that. >> i'll tell you what, they should never do that. >> things. there's >> there's two things. there's two things i'd say to that. the council probably weren't sitting there muslims . how many people radical muslims. how many people want to those march? we've never

they've never been anywhere near the quran they're just out to cause support cause trouble. they just support palestine suits them. cause trouble. they just support palesti|on suits them. cause trouble. they just support palesti|on left, suits them. cause trouble. they just support palesti|on left, largely, 1em. people on the left, largely, let's term , and let's use that term, and accounts we'd like accounts are thinking we'd like to this because to low profile this because actually like keep actually we like to keep our jewish communities safe. they could and find could be that. and it's i find it quite galling that people on the left will then say, well, you shouldn't be doing this. you shouldn't be doing that because we've kinds things we've had all kinds of things removed british removed from british society because don't removed from british society beceit.e don't removed from british society beceit.e being don't removed from british society beceit.e being one don't removed from british society beceit.e being one of don't like it. faith being one of them. you know, faith being one of them. can't it in of them. you can't do it in school. it anywhere school. you can't do it anywhere because people. because it might offend people. so council so the fact that the council well on. well, hang on. >> faith has removed >> what? faith has been removed from a school? oh my gosh. >> you, then give >> you, you. then i'll give you a example . teachers a classic example. teachers being school for being turfed out of school for wearing now is being wearing a cross. now is being having the same thing happen to them yeah. told they them. yeah. being told that they cannot keep their job they cannot keep their job if they want wear that cross. so want to wear that cross. so i feel i'm on who's the feel like i'm on who's the people that are offended by that? cross people on the left, people with no faith normally. and interesting in and what's really interesting in the reaction is the muslim councils reaction is not a surprise to me because they'll always say and consistently have said people of

faith should be able to practice their faith. they've been very faith should be able to practice their aboutthey've been very faith should be able to practice their about that. ye been very good about that. >> preachers, know >> street preachers, you know preaching read in preaching from the bible read in particular verses are very likely to be carted off in a police van. so. so i think i think there's element think there's an element of truth actually. think there's an element of truti actually. think there's an element of truti ac' remember that very >> i do remember that very old fellow that was doing the bible reading, was and we talk reading, and he was and we talk about two tier policing. reading, and he was and we talk abothere'stier policing. reading, and he was and we talk abothere'stier element reading, and he was and we talk abothere'stierelement that reading, and he was and we talk abothon'stierelement that reading, and he was and we talk abothon'stierfaith,ent that reading, and he was and we talk abothon 'stierfaith, actually, it going on with faith, actually, when look at the when you look at you look at the treatment christians, which treatment of christians, which is the dominant religion still in which so in this country and which so much heritage is rooted much of our heritage is rooted in, and it's almost like , you in, and it's almost like, you know, you can't you can't demonstrate your christianity in an overt way without someone saying, hold on a second, you know, you'd be in reactionary or you'd be in hostile to other faiths you're being exclusive faiths or you're being exclusive at the same time, the same people are very, very happy to indulge in other faiths. precisely that is two tier. that is precisely. >> there you go . look. so that >> there you go. look. so that event has been reinstated now. so my mind anyway, credit to so in my mind anyway, credit to the council for reinstating it. also muslim also credit to the muslim association britain there association of britain there that say that they would that did say that they would stand shoulder to shoulder with

their jewish stand shoulder to shoulder with theirjewish brothers stand shoulder to shoulder with their jewish brothers and sisters to help ensure that that event safely . next event does go ahead safely. next up, i want to talk to you about nurse many nurses now nurse ing. so many nurses now are coming the nhs from are coming to the nhs from so—called red list countries. so your , nigeria, etcetera . your ghana, nigeria, etcetera. what do you make to this? is this an ethical move on our part or not? see you .

boast nhs is staffed by boast that the nhs is staffed by lots of immigrants. the dark underside of is those many underside of that is those many of countries have of those countries have had their best whipped their brightest and best whipped away. they've made their their their health system have to compete with our health system, which has much more money in it. and thought that is which has much more money in it. aibll thought that is which has much more money in it. aibll of thought that is which has much more money in it. aibll of a thought that is which has much more money in it. aibll of a problem. ught that is which has much more money in it. aibll of a problem. and that is which has much more money in it. aibll of a problem. and thet is a bit of a problem. and the other well, here's other thing as well, here's here's thing we had here's the real thing we had over vacancies in over 300,000 vacancies in the nhs and we matched with nhs and we matched that with people brought the people that we brought into the country, we have country, but yet we still have a huge vacancies. so huge amount of vacancies. so where have all these people gone that claim were coming to that claim they were coming to work the nhs? i think that's work in the nhs? i think that's what should going what we should be going on and the very good point, the other part, very good point, they're very good point. the other should other point, we should stop telling in telling people that working in the horrible. that's why the nhs is horrible. that's why people join them. people aren't join them. >> people do >> paul these people do a fantastic job and we all recognise that you know, they, they after us and we have they look after us and we have to respect that. but it is a form i tend to agree with form as i tend to agree with sean, it's a formal most of colonial plundering. yeah. and and you know, we denude these developing countries often people who need these nurses and doctors, you know , they're vital doctors, you know, they're vital to them develop their

to helping them develop their health services. and we swipe them away. and then we trumpet them away. and then we trumpet the fact that we've swiped them away and our great away. and isn't our nhs great because we've all these because we've taken all of these people around the world people from around the world without the other without seeing what the other side of that means? a few years ago there was a very serious health crisis in the romanian health this was the health service. this was in the years got accession years after they got accession to union and free to the european union and free movement kicked in. in romania , movement kicked in. in romania, and lots of doctors left to come and lots of doctors left to come and work in the west and it caused a really serious health service crisis in romania. and i still think they're suffering the overhang of that now . and the overhang of that now. and that's the other side of free movement. if it's all one way, then what you're doing is you're creating real problems inside the country, not just in the parent country, not just in terms of the health service, but actually everything generally in terms depopulation mean, actually everything generally in teyou depopulation mean, actually everything generally in teyoulookepopulation mean, actually everything generally in teyou look at pulation mean, actually everything generally in teyou look at latvia,�*| mean, actually everything generally in teyou look at latvia, for mean, if you look at latvia, for example few years example, or latvia a few years ago, largely as a result of free movement and young men predominantly moving went predominantly moving away, went through de—population crisis . through a de—population crisis. and that can have all sorts of implications for the country, for prosperity, its for its prosperity, for its

economy, for its well—being, for its infrastructure . its infrastructure. >> away the best and >> just taken away the best and the and you can't the brightest. and you can't developing piece that's developing the have piece that's really to looked really needs to be looked at is why people here why can't we develop people here to those job roles . we've to take those job roles. we've proudly said we for the nhs and the country doesn't have immigrants. i'm child immigrants. i'm the child of immigrants. i'm the child of immigrants. immigration will immigrants. i immigration will always important. i get that. always be important. i get that. but people who live but also the people who live here important. so let's get them into an interest. let's get them into an interest. let's get them qualified. let's get them them qualified. let's get them the in. the income from working in. >> viewers are >> a few of my viewers are getting in touch saying about the things. getting in touch saying about ththere things. getting in touch saying about ththere obsessionigs. getting in touch saying about th there obsession with is there the obsession with everyone, these nursing everyone, all these nursing staff, have everyone, all these nursing st degree have everyone, all these nursing stdegree these have everyone, all these nursing stdegree these days? have everyone, all these nursing stdegree these days? didhave everyone, all these nursing stdegree these days? did itve everyone, all these nursing stdegree these days? did it used a degree these days? did it used to be like that? i don't think it did. >> it didn't i blame that on tony blair? this whole 50% of people university, people going to university, things value unless things not being of value unless they're a degree. that's the problem. >> well, yeah, there go. >> well, yeah, there you go. >> well, yeah, there you go. >> lots come your way. don't >> lots to come your way. don't worry, be more worry, there will be more christmas trees. yes, but i always want to talk always want. i also want to talk to the weather. why to you about the weather. why can we not handle the snow in this to this country? and i want to bnng this country? and i want to bring of responses bring in some of your responses from some of the other topics that covered show from some of the other topics thefar. covered show from some of the other topics thefar. so covered show from some of the other topics thefar. so don'tred show from some of the other topics thefar. so don't go show from some of the other topics

get a whiff of a snowflake .in this country, do we seem to basically break down to a halt? schools are closed. you've got travel chaos in london. sadiq khan, for example, has activated a severe weather emergency protocol . why can't we deal with protocol. why can't we deal with the snow in this country? briefly, gents ? briefly, gents? >> i mean, the cynic in me thinks it's a great day, a great excuse for a day off. i mean , excuse for a day off. i mean, when i was a kid at school, that would have been oh, would have been great. oh, snow day do think day off. but i do think sometimes have more sometimes we should have more sort of protocols around why we're going to do it. is it snow heavy? can you get to school? and when close school , and when you close a school, what is give families what you do is give families a very problem. actually, what you do is give families a v< school problem. actually, what you do is give families a v< school problydo actually, what you do is give families a v< school problydo bestially, what you do is give families a v< school problydo best to y, a school should do its best to stay open and individual families, can't make families, if they can't make it in, should close. but here in london issue. london shouldn't be an issue. paul because we are rubbish at resilience . resilience. >> we're a non developing country. not at country. we're not good at resilience, good resilience, we're not good at infrastructure . combined infrastructure. combined with the bedevilled the fact that we're bedevilled by what i call a culture by what i would call a culture of safety ism and are of safety ism and we are becoming a very kind of risk averse society. and i absolutely

morning over the midlands and eastern england. and then the potential for more wet weather to come later the to come in later in the south—west. could have south—west. that could also have some mixed in, chiefly over some snow mixed in, chiefly over hills. it is slowly trying to turn milder across the south, but for many, sunday's another . but for many, sunday's another. cold one goodbye. >> looks like things are heating up. boxed spoilers, sponsors of weather on
