address market gb news dot com. this show has a strict golden rule. don't do boring. not on rule. we don't do boring. not on my watch . i just won't have it. my watch. i just won't have it. a big two hours to come. we start with my big opinion . you start with my big opinion. you won't believe this story. thousand of students at one of britain's top universities will be forced to go vegan after activists won a vote banning meat and dairy products. stephen watts at the university of warwick backed a motion forcing uni run catering outlets to adopt plant based menus with three now required to do so by 2027. at the latest. but the move , pushed through by a move, pushed through by a campaign group, plant based universities , has ignited fury universities, has ignited fury after it emerged that just 774 students, that's about 2.7% of the 28,000 undergraduate votes were behind the plan. only 15 voted against it. now, this is

all very strange. i thought higher education is about assembling the facts , gathering assembling the facts, gathering data and reaching an informed conclusion . did they not see the conclusion. did they not see the rather distressing report suggesting that children raised on a vegan diet were on average three centimetres shorter than those who eat meat? the bones of vegan children were also smaller and less strong, putting them at risk of fractures or osteoporosis in later life. the study by university college, london's great ormond street institute of child health, said parents must be aware of the risks of vegan diets. they said vegan children should be given vitamin b12 , vitamin d vitamin b12, vitamin d supplements and lots of other extra additions to their diet to reduce the potentially long term health consequences of being raised on plants only a not a ringing endorsement is it? have these woke students who are supposed to be so clever and so much better people than us not

reflected on the air miles intrinsically linked to a plant based diet with ultra processed meat free foods made in vast factories, packaged in plastic and shipped around the world. how is that good for the environment? did it not come to their attention ? that plant their attention? that plant based requires vast monocrop agriculture in which millions of hectares have diverse land and the wildlife within it are sacrificed to accommodate mile after mile of corn, wheat and soy. how about the growing of almonds, which requires billions of litres of water? the same goes for avocados, the mass farming of which is linked to murderous gang warfare in places like mexico . meanwhile, like mexico. meanwhile, livestock graze on natural land here in the uk without the help of billions of litres of fertiliser , lasers and fertiliser, lasers and pesticides which are of course essential to plant based food production. no cows, sheep, goats and lamb, for example,

simply poo and wee on the ground, enriching the soil and watering it at the same time. they consume grass , which is they consume grass, which is inedible to humans and they predominant graze on land uninhabited to us as well . so uninhabited to us as well. so perhaps now's the time to mention the brilliant jeremy clarkson in whose tv show clarkson's farm. it was revealed that a full sized cow contains within her a thousand portions of meat, as well as the bones, which can be ground up and used as a natural soil, nutrient blood and other unwanted tissue can be used for dog and cat food and the hide can be used for leather . so you get a lot of leather. so you get a lot of bang for your buck from daisy the cow. what about the nutrient value of plant based are beyond meat burgers and veggie sausages really going to power the intellectual demands of these young students upon whose prowess our future success as a society relies ? good luck with society relies? good luck with that. given that plant based protein is far less bio

available, which means it's not as easily absorbed by the body as easily absorbed by the body as animal protein in fish, meat, dairy , that's the gold standard dairy, that's the gold standard of protein. air miles , shorter of protein. air miles, shorter kids, inadequate nutrition , kids, inadequate nutrition, inadequate protein. it doesn't stop there because if you go plant based, you're going to be eating a vast amount more carbohydrates, bread , pasta, carbohydrates, bread, pasta, potatoes, rice . why is this a potatoes, rice. why is this a problem? well, because excessive carbohydrate consumption can be directly linked to obesity and type 2 diabetes. and going plant based means relying on the food industry for ultra processed, ready made junk , which you know ready made junk, which you know as well as i do. no one's got time to make a chickpea curry every day. it's vegan pizza, bags of chips and vast mounds of boiled pasta all day long. now i've got viewers and listeners who are vegan and they love it. no problem. if that's your choice . yes, but in time, i fear choice. yes, but in time, i fear it's the authorities that will

be choosing what we eat and it will be soya burgers, vegan bacon and vegetarian lasagne . bacon and vegetarian lasagne. welcome to hell . we've been welcome to hell. we've been eating meat for millennia. and if we pursue this plant based experiment, i predict the next generation will be sicker , generation will be sicker, fatter, more tired, and, frankly, malnourished . most frankly, malnourished. most vegans don't get past three months before giving up . there months before giving up. there are multiple reports of irregular periods loss of muscle, mass fatigue and even depression from this restrictive diet. so in my view, those seeking to enforce a vegan diet are silly sausages. i've got beef with them and frankly, they can burger off making everyone go plant based is utter bullocks okay well, look, i think i've run out of farming metaphors.

your reaction market gbnews.com i particularly like to hear from you if you are a vegan because i've got lots of viewers and listeners who are plant based, let me know your views. let's get reaction now from top get reaction now from my top pundits, journalists and tv personality , ingrid tarrant, personality, ingrid tarrant, bestselling and bestselling author and campaigner chris wilde, and broadcasting legend david hamilton . broadcasting legend david hamilton. let me broadcasting legend david hamilton . let me start with you, hamilton. let me start with you, ingnd hamilton. let me start with you, ingrid plant based yes or no? >> oh, gosh, no, no, no, no. >> can i just go through you look like you've had a steak. >> you've got loads of energy. >> you've got loads of energy. >> oh, yeah, i know that. >> oh, yeah, i know that. >> well, actually, afterwards . >> well, actually, afterwards. >> well, actually, afterwards. >> no. can i just pick a little bit away at this, please? what i would say the north koreans, just to give a little bit of an example here, because you're talking about that children on vegan diets on average three centimetres shorter in north korea , they're on average 3 to korea, they're on average 3 to 5m shorter than the south koreans. >> and that's not genetic because they're the same . yeah, because they're the same. yeah, but it's their diet and that is

largely vegan because they're malnourished, they're impoverished and all the rest of it. i mean, they can't afford to have meat. no, of course he can, because he's a little fat, chubby sausage. >> but kim jong un. yeah >> but kim jong un. yeah >> yes. yeah, exactly. >> yes. yeah, exactly. >> that's you off his christmas card list. >> oh, i've got mine. >> oh, i've got mine. >> i really don't mind. but he's on mine still. i'd like meet on mine still. i'd like to meet him. head of him. actually also the head of the programme says the world food programme says that a poor diet in years that a poor diet in early years leads to stunted growth. so this is all absolutely and is all absolutely right. and the first for critical first two years are for critical vitamin b12 and vitamin d and calcium is really important. but, you know, the vitamin d is terribly important and kids are in their bedrooms all the time. they never go out. they don't get the natural sunlight. so that it's just an that in itself, it's just an unhealthy way of life. and veganism into it. and you've got really sort of pretty bad pot and also rickets . and another and also rickets. and another thing which i looked up, tuberculosis, you know, tuberculosis, you know, tuberculosis is on the increase, right? it's up 7% than it was a year ago . and that is because of

year ago. and that is because of deficiency . these deficiencies deficiency. these deficiencies in vitamin d and calcium . so in vitamin d and calcium. so it's all linked. it's just like bad, bad, bad news. and i just want to throw one thing in that rishi sunak is hindu and they have 83% of hindus have a vegetarian diet and look how little he is. well who knows whether that's the diet or genetics ? let's not argue it. genetics? let's not argue it. let's assume i don't know whether rishi sunak is a vegetarian , actually, but chris, vegetarian, actually, but chris, there may be a flip side. >> there may be a flip side to this, which is the students involved are worried about the impact on global temperatures on farming. yeah, yeah. >> was going farming. yeah, yeah. >>go was going farming. yeah, yeah. >>go this was going farming. yeah, yeah. >>go this mark was going farming. yeah, yeah. >>go this mark as/as going farming. yeah, yeah. >>go this mark as well. ing to go with this mark as well. just to say that, first of all, universities is a progressive space. of speech, space. so freedom of speech, freedom of opinion, freedom of life. words like life. so and using words like forced but forced to go vegan, but i understand i understand it. understand it. i understand it. where right. you we've got where right. you know, we've got all this film about global warming on at the moment. warming going on at the moment. and of these young people and most of these young people now, manipulated and most of these young people nothink manipulated and most of these young people nothink this manipulated

and most of these young people nothink this way. manipulated and most of these young people nothink this way. they're3ulated to think this way. they're manipulated to go down that road where you're scared to not follow suit in case of being cancelled. it's a lot of peer pressure. you're right, ingrid. you're right. and i have a little girl, and i wouldn't like her wouldn't to think little girl, and i wouldn't like her going n't to think little girl, and i wouldn't like her going to to think little girl, and i wouldn't like her going to go to think little girl, and i wouldn't like her going to go to 0 think she was going to go to university and forced not to eat meat. and i come from working meat. and i come from a working class family you brought up on me. yeah. me. that's the only thing. yeah. meat that's that's meat and two veg. that's that's what you know. and survived. what you know. and i survived. you of the people in you know, most of the people in the yorkshire, top the north yorkshire, these top athletes they're up on athletes, they're brought up on meat you know the meat and two veg. you know the evidence to show you evidence is there to show you that know, this kind of diet that you know, this kind of diet is about progressive. it is about, you know, how, you know, you grow up and how your bone structure. i for me, i don't want to be manipulated anymore. i want telling me i don't want people telling me what and can't eat. i will what i can and can't eat. i will make decision. make that decision. >> okay, david hamilton, what about, though, the argument that livestock farming is causing a huge carbon footprint, which means that we've got these floods, we've got the forest fires , and therefore we should fires, and therefore we should eat less meat in order to save the planet. that's what these

students campaigning for. students are campaigning for. >> right man. students are campaigning for. >live right man. students are campaigning for. >live on right man. students are campaigning for. >live on a right man. students are campaigning for. >live on a farm right man. students are campaigning for. >live on a farm and right man. students are campaigning for. >live on a farm and i'm 1t man. i live on a farm and i'm surrounded by 300 cows. >> i'm still here. i'm looking okay. i should add as well that ihave okay. i should add as well that i have a granddaughter who is at university . university. >> she's at newcastle . >> she's at newcastle. >> she's at newcastle. >> she's at newcastle. >> she happens to be a vegan . >> she happens to be a vegan. but, you know , i agree with but, you know, i agree with chris. i mean, i think we have too much telling people what to do. let young people make up their own minds about what they want to eat without being told what they what they should do . what they what they should do. you know, there's too much control over people. you know, let people make their own democracy, freedom of speech. let people make their own derthat's', freedom of speech. let people make their own derthat's what dom of speech. let people make their own derthat's what universityeech. let people make their own derthat's what university is :h. >> that's what university is indeed. >> and also freedom of what to eat plates. do you eat on your plates. what do you think about that? let me know your thoughts. mark news.com your thoughts. mark gb news.com also no later i'll be asking the punst also no later i'll be asking the pundits are christmas decorations a bit naff? they're all going up today. we did ours this afternoon, great fun this afternoon, had great fun whilst doing it, but let's have a very illustrated debate. so i want you to send in pictures of your christmas decorations this

yeah your christmas decorations this year. mark at gbnews.com. we'll get those out as soon as we can. but coming next in the big but coming up next in the big story is cop 28 story is the cop 28 environmental summit. a load of hot air? i'll be eco hot air? i'll be asking eco campaigner and celebrity dad stanley johnson . that's .

>> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> all christmas decorations now. i don't think so. we spent the afternoon putting them up round at ours. huge amount of fun. so you've been sending in lots of your christmas decorations? i'll get to those in the next part. producer katie's busy at work. loads your wonderful images into the system . but first of all, it's time for the big story. and tonight, it's cop 28, the world's most important climate meeting is being hosted in dubai by the united arab emirates , one of the united arab emirates, one of the world's top ten oil producers . world's top ten oil producers. now, it's not often i agree with climate pocket rocket greta thunberg , but she says this

thunberg, but she says this conference of world leaders is just blah, blah , blah. in other just blah, blah, blah. in other words, all talk and no action. so . can a summit in one of the so. can a summit in one of the world's richest oil states deliver meaningful action on climate change? who better to ask than environment campaigner and former mep stanley johnson, who is flying to cop 28 tomorrow? stanley is the location something of an embarrassment given that it's an oil rich state? >> no, they they make oil there going to be subject to the same kind of pressures that other oil producers are subject to. yeah, i'm going there. i'm not actually pessimistic . i thought actually pessimistic. i thought i thought king charles started off with a really good message. he couldn't go to. i think it was sharm el sheikh last year. i think liz truss said he couldn't go. he was here this year. he was in dubai and he sounded the right note. i thought . i mean, right note. i thought. i mean, he, he pointed out that , yes, he, he pointed out that, yes, we've made progress, but there's a huge amount still do and a huge amount still to do and there was kind melancholy,

there was a kind of melancholy, melancholy note, isn't it? wasn't there in his speech where he dreadfully far off track he says dreadfully far off track , pray with all my heart that cop 28 will be another critical turning point at then pointed out that we're 30% more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere than we were in 2015 when they signed the paris the paris agreement and 40% more methane . i say the and 40% more methane. i say the methane is coming up the track fast. well, for my money, the real exciting thing about this cop is that already you've had 100 countries sign up to a pledge to triple renewable energy by 2030. now, that is thatis energy by 2030. now, that is that is a big deal. that's a big deal. that is a big deal. that's a big deal . we had the deal. we had the secretary—general of the united nations, mr guterres, saying actually that means getting up to 11 terawatts. now, i've only just worked out what a terror it is, but a terawatt is 1000gw and a gigawatts, 1000mw and a megawatt . is 1000kw. and we knew

megawatt. is 1000kw. and we knew a kilowatt is 1000w. so you can work it all out. so 11 terawatts is big. now the point is this what is the real game changer? the game changer is actually china. i have just spent eight weeks in china. i have gone west to east. >> are you taking china? i am not speaking chinese. >> i actually i think you have to say mandarin or cantonese or whatever. you have to specify. i wish i did. i was with my son, max, who does speak mandarin , max, who does speak mandarin, and that was really, really helpful. but for the point i want to make is the revolution there is being based on renewable energy . wherever you renewable energy. wherever you 90, renewable energy. wherever you go, wind farms , solar farms , go, wind farms, solar farms, hydro, hydropower. but above all, they know they're going to get there . that 11 terawatts the get there. that 11 terawatts the secretary—general was talking about , four of it for terawatts about, four of it for terawatts is going to come from china, and that's going to change. >> the coal fired power stations, which are still being built and you built in china. yes. and you don't the fact that don't mention the fact that these may be a

these renewables may be a laudable aim, but they're still an aren't they? it's an experiment, aren't they? it's an experiment, aren't they? it's a punt. can't guarantee that a punt. we can't guarantee that renewables are the answer. look at who have invested at germany, who have invested heavily in renewables the heavily in renewables for the last years and they found last ten years and they found themselves until a of themselves until a couple of years on years ago, still reliant on vladimir putin for gas. >> well, i can tell you in the parts of the world where the sun shines and there are huge numbers of countries which are sun shining countries where i was , i didn't want to go back on was, i didn't want to go back on china, but i just happen to know a bit about now. for a bit about it now. okay for huge desert areas, you've got xinjiang , you've got gansu , xinjiang, you've got gansu, you've got inner mongolia , you've got inner mongolia, you've got inner mongolia, you've got inner mongolia, you've got jinsha there, there they are putting their it's not speculative what's going on there. and you see the spin off. the spin off is insofar as they can get the energy which is generated there to the urban centres, you are seeing clean air in peking. i mean , i air in peking. i mean, i shouldn't say peking, i'm must say beijing . i've been going to say beijing. i've been going to beijing since 1975. in the old days you couldn't breathe in

beijing now and you barely know. you can barely dare cross the road because you might be knocked over by a soundless electric vehicle. no more. no more cars down. there you go . more cars down. there you go. >> got have eyes in >> you've got to have eyes in the your you have. the back of your head. you have. what britain's global what about britain's global emissions carbon? around emissions of carbon? around 1. we've carbon down over we've got our carbon down over several decades. we're a world leader in green tech as well . leader in green tech as well. why viewers and why should my viewers and listeners be impoverished and make themselves poorer in order to reduce those carbon emissions further, the fact that further, given the fact that it's to influence the it's not going to influence the overall world temperature? well this is a drop in the ocean, isn't it? >> it's not a drop in the ocean at all. we are 1. if you add us to the eu, as you, it certainly should. far more than should. we're far more than that. then become one of the that. we then become one of the biggest of biggest biggest one of the biggest players europe as players in the game. europe as a whole. drop ocean. whole. not a drop in the ocean. tremendously important . tremendously important. tremendously important. not tremendously important. not just in of the effort can in terms of the effort we can make bring our emissions make to bring our emissions down. in terms of down. also important in terms of the finance we can produce. so another thing which is going to come cop 28 is the

come out of cop 28 is the climate fund. now, of course, we agreed the climate fund a couple of days ago and kamala harris, as you probably saw today, has come up with 1 billion usd contribution. now, that is , you contribution. now, that is, you know, serious money even in these days of multi—billionaires, 1 billion is crucial . very important because crucial. very important because adaptation is learning to live with climate change, learning to get on with your business is going to be crucial. and you've also got some got to understand that the developing countries do see that who used up , you know, see that who used up, you know, who is who used up the absorptive capacity in the atmosphere so quickly? well, actually, we did . we did. and if actually, we did. we did. and if you look at the figures, oxfam came out with the other day, 1% of world's population of the world's population contributes actually 16% of the world's carbon emissions. that makes you think it really does. so one thing, while i'm while i'm here because i did mention king charles, i thought it was thrilling that he wore a greek tie. i thought it was thrilling that he came a nod to the debate

over the elgin marbles . it was over the elgin marbles. it was i thought it was a very nice gesture for my money. it's perfectly obvious the elgin marbles. i don't want to digress perfectly. obviously elgin well, digress . well, for me, i mean, digress. well, for me, i mean, as a classicist brought up, as so many of us are on greek and latin and pretty much nothing else, it's absolutely obvious that marbles belong in that the elgin marbles belong in in greece. they belong on the parthenon. they need to be reunited with their brothers and sisters, as it were , from the sisters, as it were, from the from the frieze on the parthenon. and i simply can't understand why we can't simply get on it. get on with it. >> but here are two examples in which king charles, who i know you admire, stepped you admire, has stepped into a very political arena. now, if you're elected politician and you're an elected politician and that's your absolute right, but should our monarch , the head of should our monarch, the head of state, be discussing net zero, for example , given the fact that for example, given the fact that it has real world consequences for my viewers and listeners, they're going to have to an they're going to have to buy an electric car get rid of electric car and get rid of their diesel volkswagen . they're their diesel volkswagen. they're going an expensive new going to need an expensive new boiler might up .

boiler. inflation might go up. why is charles entering politics in regards to net zero? and also the elgin marbles? he needs to keep his nose out of both. >> well, i won't agree with either of those propositions, by the way , he was not a politician the way, he was not a politician by the he was onto net zero by the way. he was onto net zero for years and years before , for years and years before, before the crowd. and in terms of the electorate, i think the argument is simply the unrefusable that the living standards of people in countries all over the world are going to be improved if we do manage to tackle climate change. so that is that is just a fact which is becoming daily, daily more apparent, my viewers and listeners, perhaps upwards of ten, £15,000 between now and hitting our net zero target, won't it? i can't say that necessarily. i can say that if we manage to go ahead, it cost nothing. no, i can i can say who's going to pay those who's going to pay for those windmills and that copper cabling. >> well, and the solar panels, all the rest of it. >> well, there's a pretty good there's a pretty good rule in economics the

economics now, which is that the polluter pays principle. so i think we will find that the balance dance is going is balance dance is going to is going to shift towards the polluters, towards the polluters who till now are having a who up till now are having a pretty fair, you know, a pretty easy so that balance is easy ride. so that balance is going to shift. i think, you know, coming out of cop now, is something really worth really worth looking. >> couple of brief ones for you. are you disappointed by rishi sunaks diluting of the net zero target? yes, target? i mean, he says yes, we'll net zero, but he's we'll hit net zero, but he's given a five year stay of execution petrol and execution on to petrol and diesel and gas boilers diesel cars and also gas boilers . so are you disappointed? >> i think the language which is coming out of this government now is not quite as clear on some of these environmental targets as the language of previous governments has been. and i do i do regret that i do regret that. apparently there were two two drafts of the sunak speech, one of which was delivered in plenary and the other which was delivered to the journalists. and the journalists. and for the journalists. and for the journalists pretty much journalists it was pretty much water home consumption water for home, home consumption and i think that we need to be

careful before we start saying, well, we are going have to well, we are going to have to start and briefly, start okay, and briefly, stanley, you you and i go back. >> no, i know we do channel 4 for the last word. >> you. i know. >> you. i know. >> brilliant star on that programme. we i've always known you to be a conservative. at the very least a c very least, a small c conservative. how therefore, can you justify policies like the rationing of meat, people being given an annual allowance of air miles or an electricity company being able to switch off your power supply on a whim ? how can power supply on a whim? how can you, as a conservative sign up for that kind of eco communism? >> well, i'll tell you something. conservatives do also believe in the future of the planet. that's a pretty important point. now, as it comes to , you know, rationing, comes to, you know, rationing, i think we will find that we will have carbon budgets. we will have carbon budgets. we will have maybe even methane budgets, and there will be an miles allowance. but i'm afraid that's something we're going to have to live with. >> and you're not a

conservative, surely? well, i prefer to. would for prefer to. i would allow for that. you assumption people's that. you assumption on people's lives comes to the crunch , lives if it comes to the crunch, i would prefer to vote for the planet than vote a political planet than vote for a political party. stanley as articulate and succinct as ever, do come and see us again soon. see us again 500“. >> see us again soon. >> my pleasure. >> my pleasure. >> you know what? that guy, he has a day since the has not aged a day since the last that was probably the 2005. >> that was 2005. >> that was 2005. >> there you go. those were the days. brilliant stuff. stanley johnson coming up with tonight's days. brilliant stuff. stanley johrpundits. ring up with tonight's days. brilliant stuff. stanley johrpundits. today with tonight's days. brilliant stuff. stanley johrpundits. today is ith tonight's days. brilliant stuff. stanley johrpundits. today is the :onight's days. brilliant stuff. stanley johrpundits. today is the day ht's top pundits. today is the day millions of families are putting up with tinsel and up the tree with tinsel and fairy lights . but some the fairy lights. but some think the tradition is old fashioned. so i'll my pundits in i'll be asking my pundits in what will no doubt prove to be a heated christmas heated debate are christmas decorations bunn's naff. we'll see yours .

for mark meets. you. you can't have too many christmas trees . have too many christmas trees. it is time for mark meets and one of the country's leading rock journalists, philip norman, who's gained a worldwide audience for his biographies of the beatles, the rolling stones, john mccartney and the beatles, the rolling stones, john john. mccartney and the beatles, the rolling stones, john john. his mccartney and the beatles, the rolling stones, john john. his latest ccartney and elton john. his latest bestseller is entitled george harrison the reluctant beatle, which looks at the life and legacy of this underrated genius of music. philip norman, welcome to mark dolan tonight. out of music. philip norman, welcome to mark dolan tonight . out now, to mark dolan tonight. out now, george harrison on wrote some of the best beatles songs out there, didn't he ? including here there, didn't he? including here comes the sun and something he had a talent to match. lennon and mccartney. but was he sidelined or held back by his bandmates ? bandmates? >> absolutely. >> absolutely. >> for a long, long time, this amazing, creative axis of john lennon and paul mccartney that turned out songs very easily. >> just one after the other. george wasn't like that. george

took time . um, obviously lennon took time. um, obviously lennon and mccartney helped him along. he studied how they worked , but he studied how they worked, but it really was not until the very end of the beatles creative life together that george was producing songs that were the equal of john and paul's songs. although he didn't write as many the ones he did write the best and with the best of theirs. indeed >> and did playing second fiddle to lennon and mccartney upset? harrison was he a tortured soul about this? philip he was a very he was quite grumpy . he was quite grumpy. >> he was the grumpy beatle as well as the reluctant beatle . well as the reluctant beatle. but he had good reason to be because he was always really discriminate against in the recording studio, their producer , who was a great, wonderful man, george george martin, was so taken up with the talent of lennon mccartney, as he said to me later on, with much regret, he said , i was always rather he said, i was always rather beastly to george , and he really beastly to george, and he really did. he kept on by sheer dogged

determination. he hung on, and eventually he was recognised. of course, as we know , most course, as we know, most definitely watching the peter jackson documentary about the beatles. >> philip, it looks like mccartney and harrison had a particularly difficult relationship . harrison stormed relationship. harrison stormed off a few times. what was the problem , do you think? problem, do you think? >> well , in problem, do you think? >> well, in that case, i mean, that film, the get back sessions by peter jackson was that film, the get back sessions by peterjackson was supposed that film, the get back sessions by peter jackson was supposed to produce show how much they loved each other. of course they didn't. during the recording session, george actually , and session, george actually, and john and george, it was john and george , not john. and paul came george, not john. and paul came to blows over something that george had said about yoko ono, who was by then mrs. john lennon. but there was a very fraught relationship between john and paul because paul was such, paul could do everything. paul could play every instrument . paul would even take over the guitar solo, which was supposed to be george's province. george was the lead guitarist, but paul would sometimes just he decided

to play lead guitar and that was a very fractious thing between them for a long, long time. >> and you could only imagine . >> and you could only imagine. philip norman, how many great beatle songs we never had that would have been written by george harrison . he he really george harrison. he he really didn't have that opportunity, that outlet to generate more material . material. >> well, he did generate material , >> well, he did generate material, but it was it was rejected by john and paul. and so his first solo album, which was a triple album, one of the very first triple albums, all things must pass. it was really full of songs that he either had had rejected by the star chamber of lennon mccartney and george martin, or that he hadn't bothered to offer them because he anticipated their indifference. so he had to get out of the beatles, really to show him , show what he could do. show him, show what he could do. but he wasn't a great quantity producer like lennon and mccartney and the best at what he produced was really good. >> well, indeed, many think that something is one of the greatest love songs of all time. many

people consider here comes the sun to be the best beatles song. he really punched his weight. did he make peace before the end of his life with his time in the beatles ? beatles? >> he never was never nostalgic about it at all. so when they did their great sort of nostalgia exercise , the beatles nostalgia exercise, the beatles anthology, george only did it for the money because he needed money a lot. by that moment. but he made peace with paul mccartney in the end because george, the last chapters in his life are very sad. he had terrible cancer. he was wandering the world in search of a cure, and mccartney lent him a house in los angeles where he could be safe from press intrusion and where in fact, he died . died. >> what is george harrison's legacy, do you think? philip >> i think it's it is a handful of wonderful songs . and of of wonderful songs. and of course, it's also what he played with the beatles, which was the solos and the intros and the

riffs that he gave to all the greatest beatle songs , which greatest beatle songs, which live in the memory as much as the memory of the vocal. whether it was john or paul or occasionally george, which you've written a brilliant biography of paul mccartney. >> now we can both agree the guy is an absolute musical musical genius. of course he is . but genius. of course he is. but philip, is it my impression on that paul mccartney is a thin skinned, narcissistic crank ? skinned, narcissistic crank? >> those are your words. no no . >> those are your words. no no. he amazingly enough, for someone who's been really worshipped since the age of about 19, he had he was brought up by his father after his mother died when he was 14. and this wonderful man, jim mccartney , wonderful man, jim mccartney, instilled the proper values into this man. so he remains under all the honours and all the wealth that he's accumulated. he is still essentially a decent human being. that's why i'm pleased to hear it. >> look, the guy is a true legend. i can't get you on

without talking about sir elton john, your brilliant biography, sir was published a few sir elton was published a few years ago. he's just come off the back of the highest grossing tour of all time, a new album in the works, two musicals on the way. and of course, that iconic set at glastonbury, which some consider the one of the best gigs of career. this guy gigs of his career. this guy shows signs of slowing down. shows no signs of slowing down. does he ? does he? >> he doesn't. he's always talking about wanting to slow down, as he puts it. smell some roses. but this adulation that these people receive, it's a drug, really. it's more i think it's more like chinese food. the more you have of it, the more you want . you want. >> you've written about the stones as well . they were number stones as well. they were number one recently with their latest album . mick jagger, i think is album. mick jagger, i think is 80 but looks 20 years younger than that . they don't make them than that. they don't make them like that anymore. do they? >> no, they don't. but by this point , i >> no, they don't. but by this point, i mean, the stones were wonderful once upon a time, but this latest album was so they were the phoney stones

pretending to come from hackney, you know, and really , i think you know, and really, i think we've, we've really had they've , we've, we've really had they've, they've, they've played their part . i think they've, they've played their part. i think it is time for them to, to smell the roses , them to, to smell the roses, whether it's elton on the beatles, the rolling stones, pink floyd , the who will we ever pink floyd, the who will we ever have stars of that comparable talent and stature ever again? >> philip yes, i think they will. >> it's what was different about those performers who came through in the 60s was how innocent the world was in those days. so the stones could become notorious for trying to get into the savoy hotel without a tie. that was a terrible sin . in that was a terrible sin. in those days, the world is now much more cynical. there is always going to be talent. there's always 2% of talent at any point in musical history. and we can we can always depend on that. but the other 98% gets forgotten , as indeed it did in forgotten, as indeed it did in the 60s. only the greatest ones

survive from a lot of bad ones in the 60s as well . in the 60s as well. >> philip, such a thrill to have you on the show. absolutely love your books. your latest guest is george harrison, the reluctant beatle, and it's out now. thank you so much, philip . you so much, philip. >> thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> more of your christmas decorations have come flooding in. let's have a look at this. this is claire's offering . oh, this is claire's offering. oh, look at that. claire's a painter, and she showed her talent with a fabulous illustration in her window. next up, elaine in west lothian . up, elaine in west lothian. there you go. with the decorated pooch. i love it. elaine and elaine's tree as well . look at elaine's tree as well. look at that gorgeous, nice small one by the window. i've never seen a bad christmas tree. i love them all coming up in the 10:00 hour, tomorrow's papers hot off the press and in my take at ten, my first on air reaction to the shocking royal race row. does it have the hands of harry and meghan? what do you think? i'll be reacting to this. some of the most senior members of the royal

it's perverse, it's libellous, andifs it's perverse, it's libellous, and it's profoundly wrong in fact, to unfairly call someone racist , it is evil enters stage racist, it is evil enters stage left, a book written by harry and meghan's favourite journalist, omid scobie, a man who looks like he's had more work done than sharon osborne and cher combined . and in that and cher combined. and in that book, he makes that very accusation. the two people who have had a finger pointed at them are two of the most senior members of the royal family. king charles and the princess of wales, kate , with zero wales, princess kate, with zero tangible that that tangible evidence that that conversation happened , or if it conversation happened, or if it did, that it was conducted in malice for the love of god throughout the history of humanity , every family that ever humanity, every family that ever existed mums and dads, uncles, aunfies existed mums and dads, uncles, aunties , grandparents have aunties, grandparents have always speculated on what the babyis always speculated on what the baby is going to look like. i'll tell you a personal story. when my two kids were on the way, that was the conversation that dominated our family occasions. in the end, i'm delighted to say that kids got my good looks that the kids got my good looks and charm and their mother's

short temper and feet . these short temper and feet. these so—called revelations , which are so—called revelations, which are really just ugly mud slinging and not about truth or tackling the appalling scourge of actual racism. this is about publicity. this is about keeping harry and meghan in the headlines. author omid scobie is not the problem here. let's talk about harry. is harry really happy to stand by whilst his own father is characterised as a man responsible for prejudice? the sun newspaper report that charles is devastated by this latest revelation in the paper report that the king looked visibly exhausted at the cop 28 summit in uae , and that wait for summit in uae, and that wait for it his doctor was rarely far from his side. let's not forget this man has one of the biggest jobs in the country. he carries a huge responsibility and burden. and he is 75 years of age. what is this doing to his. health excuse me? what did this

sick soap opera do to the health of our great queen, the late , of our great queen, the late, great elizabeth the second? and how much damage will this cause to the monarchy of this country ? to the monarchy of this country? the other figure to be targeted alongside our poor old monarch is catherine, the princess of wales. are you telling me that this 41 year old woman who grew up in diverse, multicultural britain is some kind of a frenzied white supremacist and a flag bearer for the kkk? do me a favour now. the sussexes are clear that they've got nothing to do with this book. but if these unfounded accusations are allowed to hang in the air, then that's it for harry. it's game oveh that's it for harry. it's game over. we, the british people, won't have him back. even if his family will. the couple, we are told, are not behind these named allegations in the book, but their silence is deafening. they could kill the story at a stroke , but they won't because they've got nothing else. their currency is victimhood. sorry, folks , i'm is victimhood. sorry, folks, i'm

done with these two. it's not au revoir for me. it's goodbye and good riddance . your reaction? good riddance. your reaction? mark gbnews.com or get to your email shortly. but first, my top pundits, journalist and tv personality, ingrid tarrant , personality, ingrid tarrant, best selling author and campaigner chris wylde and broadcasting legend david hamilton. david i think it's very unacceptable that this book contains allegations as unfounded, unproven allegations about senior members of the royal family. and i don't understand why prince harry won't speak out to defend his own father . own father. >> no, i must tell you, my standing on this, i actually have nine grand children and three of them are mixed race. >> and when all of them were born, i think, you know , we born, i think, you know, we speculated, are they going to be more like their mother or more like their father? >> i think that's what everybody all all those children , each one

all all those children, each one of them, not just not just the three who are mixed race. and i think that's how people are. >> and i think all this awful stuff that this man has been writing , i would say to writing, i would say to everybody, don't buy this book. we know what's in it. >> it's all tripe. >> it's all tripe. >> and i think should change >> and i think he should change his from omit or his name from omid to omit or omit the book and omit him . omit the book and omit him. indeed.chns omit the book and omit him. indeed. chris wild, your reaction to the outrageous allegations in this book? >> yeah , i'm saying, mark, you >> yeah, i'm saying, mark, you know, i married a greek cypriot girl who's half greek cypriot. she's half egyptian. so my children are mixed race as well . children are mixed race as well. and i remember my family asking at time , hmm, you what at the time, hmm, you know, what would look like? would the baby look like? there's racial there's nothing racial about that. just again, that. this book is just again, it's just derogative it's just it's just derogative material and just putting them to in in the picture. again, i'm like, you , i'm fed up. there's like, you, i'm fed up. there's so many things going on in the world i don't want hear world i don't want to hear anything harry and anything else about harry and meghan i just think meghan at all. and i just think this just again, just trying this is just again, just trying to that narrative going. to keep that narrative going. it's as well. it's just ignorance as well.

pure . and i just think pure ignorance. and i just think just leave, the royal just leave, leave the royal family on with it . family alone. get on with it. bigger problems in the world right however. bigger problems in the world rigiingrid however. bigger problems in the world rigiingrid tarrant'eh bigger problems in the world rigiingrid tarrant we don't have >> ingrid tarrant we don't have the lived experience of meghan markle and i think the point that omid scobie is trying to make is that when she lived in this country , she faced this country, she faced prejudice . who are we to say prejudice. who are we to say that that is not the case? >> well , who that that is not the case? >> well, who is to that that is not the case? >> well , who is to say that she >> well, who is to say that she did, apart from her? because she didn't. the truth is that we embraced her when she first came here. when the engagement was announced, it was fantastic. everybody was jubilant . and it everybody was jubilant. and it just, you know, for people to think that people are racist in this country is actually not true. i think very few people, i think as a whole were not at all. and that's not it's you could call this culture or race, whatever you like. we do actually accept a lot of people. americans are probably in fact, they are the 10th most racist people in the world. and i think

this is all borne from meghan . this is all borne from meghan. she's got a massive chip on her shoulder, but it's very, very odd because i think because she's half black and half white, she's half black and half white, she's actually betraying the white side herself . if she white side of herself. if she should all encompassing , she should be all encompassing, she should be all encompassing, she should see it from both sides . should see it from both sides. so i don't know what her problem is, from the fact she's is, apart from the fact she's got her got a massive chip on her shoulder just is shoulder and she just is jealous. think it's got jealous. and i think it's got worse with this book because she's i think she's quite anti—white. i think she wants to bnng anti—white. i think she wants to bring the royals down. but do you know what? and you said in your monologue as well, you know, the whole princess thing, that the title. that she hasn't got the title. no, duchess. no, but she has got the duchess. but i think she's more upset because the children aren't prince and princess, because if they had been, she'd be wanting to preserve the monarchy. but this way, she's actually trying to destroy it. can't stand the to destroy it. i can't stand the woman i she's i think woman i think she's very i think she's very jealous kate. she's very jealous of kate. >> think she is very jealous >> i think she is very jealous of kate , who is adored in this of kate, who is adored in this country . everybody thinks that country. everybody thinks that kate just cannot put a foot

wrong and i think a lot of it is based on that. >> the thing is, we have to point out, don't we, chris? wild that this book written by omid scobie, you know, the couple, the sussexes are clear they weren't involved in in the content of the book. but he wants to put their side of the story. many would argue that meghan markle has been unfairly vilified. after all, it's her husband who left the country and started a new life in california. it's her husband's family that we're talking about. it's the monarchy, which is a british tradition from which her husband comes. why are we blaming meghan? surely harry is accountable here. >> absolutely. and i think this the author is the third party in all this. they know what they're doing. it's a money making mechanism . um, and i think it's mechanism. um, and i think it's harry's . you know, i think what harry's. you know, i think what this media i like, i like meghan. okay, so i'm going to disagree panel. i disagree with the panel. i actually like her and i think it's media who made her it's the media who has made her a media's made her a

a victim. the media's made her a victim. it's you know, we're taking scope of we're taking scope of her. we're taking scope of her. we're taking our eye off harry. he's he's not he's coordinating all this, not meghan. so i think, you know, i feel sorry for this, for this lady. very sorry for her. lady. i feel very sorry for her. we've done this. you know, we're putting her in the picture all the but it's him. the time. but it's him. and i agree it him. do you honestly agree it is him. do you honestly think coordinated? of think that he's coordinated? of course powerful . course he is. he's so powerful. how have a book like how could you have a book like this giving the go this without him giving the go ahead? think he ahead? you wouldn't think he would having very serious would now be having very serious questions about has he done the right thing , david? right thing, david? >> one at a time. david, what were you going to say? you don't think harry's orchestrating this? not? this? david why not? >> what do you think harry's orchestrating this, do you think? no no, i think harry now , think? no no, i think harry now, i'm sorry. >> and this particular occasion, i disagree with chris. i think that he is probably having second thoughts and probably thinking what on earth have i done? no what have i let myself for ? in ingrid, do you think for? in ingrid, do you think that harry is the architect of this entire soap opera? >> i don't think he's got the nous. i don't think he's got the

brains. >> he's got the power. >> he's got the power. >> no, he's got the power. but he hasn't got. but he hasn't because he hasn't got. >> he can say yes or no. he could stop. >> this book is a manipulative woman. you look up woman. if you look up manipulative woman, she's got every single trait that describes an manipulative woman. she the one that took him she was the one that took him out of the country. she was the one that encouraged do this. one that encouraged to do this. you can see the way he looks at her for almost approval. she directs the interview. she controls the interviews. >> with that, >> i don't agree with that, ingrid, ingrid no. >> i don't agree with that, ing ingrid ingrid no. >> i don't agree with that, ing ingrid thesegrid no. >> i don't agree with that, ing ingrid these are no. >> i don't agree with that, ing ingrid these are all. ingrid. >> ingrid these are all. ingrid. these all impressions you these are all impressions you have meghan she's not have of meghan markle. she's not here defend herself. where is here to defend herself. where is the tangible proof that she's manipulative? >> exactly. where it ? because >> exactly. where is it? because it's media. it's the media. it's the media. it's the media. >> you know, you can see the way that the media, plays that she plays the media, plays the , how she she controls the victim, how she she controls everything , everything, everything, everything, everything, everything, everything you can see. but the media's controlling your opinion on her as well, because i've got a don't get a free opinion. i don't get controlled easily . and when controlled that easily. and when i things about body i read things about body language everything, how language and everything, how she holds grips him holds him, how she grips him every thing i honestly say, all

right, i can't completely substantiate it. but the way also the interviews as well with oprah winfrey interview, she got a person on side same colour as her so there would be sympathetic and then do that whole thing about sort of like she said why not the colour of the skin. my god, you know, all that sort of thing that was done. look back on the quote. she definitely asked him to ask the question, are you okay? thank you for asking. nobody's ever asked me before. i can't stand it. it's the crocodile tears all that kind of like, oh, so innocent. >> okay, chris, last word briefly, a couple of seconds. >> yeah, don't agree. >> yeah, i just don't agree. i just like you said, just think like you said, i think we've put this girl under just think like you said, i thi much�*ve put this girl under just think like you said, i thi much pressure.is girl under just think like you said, i thi much pressure. therl under just think like you said, i thi much pressure. the media r just think like you said, i thi much pressure. the media have so much pressure. the media have bullied her much. and, you bullied her so much. and, you know how the media works. it just changes the just it just changes the narrative i just narrative completely. and i just think listen, live and let live. she's she's she's been forced into this. and i know the royal family people harry, family people like harry, so much power. coordinated and much power. he's coordinated and all this. he knows exactly what

status. they said it's not a get out of jail free forever card and they don't consider his actions on january 6th within the scope of his presidential response possibilities. so you know, i do think that that this definitely hurts what we know of his attorney , his defence his attorney, his defence strategy so far or hopefully they have something else up their sleeves. >> but this is definitely here. here's what i will say, though. if the biden family is watching, they they might be concerned by these recent at this recent ruling by these federal judges as well, because somebody might look at some of their past behaviours and say, well, those are out of scope for presidential response abilities as well. >> so no presidential immunity for the biden family either. >> indeed. and joe's not furious son hunter listen, i think it's quite clear from the polls polls that if donald trump has the chance to run for the white house next year, he's got a good chance of winning. but will he

get that opportunity ? kitty, get that opportunity? kitty, what you think ? what do you think? >> i think he will get that opportunity and i think that the ultimate hope is , is and i don't ultimate hope is, is and i don't have a dog in the fight. >> can i just say that, mark? i get so many people mad at me for my commentary. i do not have a i'm trying to move to your country. >> i'm trying to find my own freedom. >> meghan n freedom. >> meghan i don't >> meghan markle but i don't have dog fight. but have a dog in the fight. but i do think their ultimate do think that their ultimate objective to get him in the objective is to get him in the white house. so that he could pardon himself. >> i think that that's really their big game plan . their big game plan. >> he is polling wise , much, >> he is polling wise, much, much stronger than joe biden . much stronger than joe biden. and if joe biden is all the democratic party can bring to the table, i think that they are in dire need of some fresh blood. and unfortunately, after seeing gavin newsom go head to head with ron desantis, i don't think that he's strong enough either to beat donald trump . either to beat donald trump. >> so fascinating stuff. now unfortunately, with technical issues, the time is against us slightly, kinsey, but what is

the fallout to the release of this new book about the sussexes seconds end game by omid scobie? how's it going down in america ? how's it going down in america? >> well, you know, americans do eat up the soap opera element, of all things royal. you know, that's why princess diana was a queen here in the states, because of that that soap opera element, the gossip element that she attracted. so they the headunes she attracted. so they the headlines are here. however in montecito. you know, it seems like harry and meghan's star has fallen quite a bit. montecito bookstores are refusing . i bookstores are refusing. i shouldn't say refusing. there's just no interest in end game. this is from the times, my friend karen southern breaking this story that montecito bookstores are not covering end game, that montecito neighbours are uninterested and appalled by the way that harry and meghan have. they're not respecting their elders and it seems like they're being very cruel towards their family members. so a lot of the neighbourhoods saying they are uninterested in the

sussexes and don't respect them or appreciate the way that they've treated their family . they've treated their family. >> indeed, and i understand that cnn's king charles premiere with gayle king has made a few headunes gayle king has made a few headlines as mark. >> yeah, we call it markle's. remember that that that big headline. i can't remember what newspaper it is. you got mark old in the definition is you've associated with meghan markle. so you have professional failures. huge failures. gayle king is a huge champion of harry and meghan. i'd say she's the american omid scobie unless she's competing with her good friend oprah winfrey, and she's been trying to get meghan markle on this show. it premiered last week to the worst ratings cnn has ever had . ed, it's called king had. ed, it's called king charles, a play on gayle king and charles barkley's name . and and charles barkley's name. and it appears so far she's been marshalled . marshalled. >> what goes around comes around. well the ratings are always through the roof when you join us, kinsey. and we'll do longer next week. my thanks to the us, showbiz, royal the queen of us, showbiz, royal and political reporting kinsey

but it might not be the might need the backup liberal need the backup of the liberal democrats to get into power, but using things like that, it's not going do anything his going to do anything in his favour. i don't know. >> it's reverse >> i think it's reverse psychology. i don't know. recognising margaret thatcher as a and they're a wonderful woman and they're going, , if can. going, blimey, if he can. >> but the of the labour going, blimey, if he can. >> b|to, he of the labour going, blimey, if he can. >> b|to, to of the labour going, blimey, if he can. >> b|to, to praise of the labour going, blimey, if he can. >> b|to, to praise her,he labour going, blimey, if he can. >> b|to, to praise her, you abour party to, to praise her, you know is, just it's a know, it is, it's just it's a reverse psychology. >> it's people think well because no very few people would deny that she was in essence you may not have agreed with everything did. in everything that she did. in essence, a good leader. >> we've had we had this discussion. good discussion. she was a good leader. a strong leader. leader. she was a strong leader. but he's he's not and he shouldn't be using name. shouldn't be using that name. >> on to her handbag. >> is there a reason why he's praising margaret thatcher, >> is there a reason why he's praisiris margaret thatcher, >> is there a reason why he's praisiris thatjaret thatcher, >> is there a reason why he's praisiris thatjare'three cher, which is that for three consecutive general elections, labour backed the iron labour voters backed the iron lady. and he wants that mentality to happen again. lady. and he wants that me yeah,’ to happen again. lady. and he wants that me yeah, buthappen again. lady. and he wants that me yeah, but he'sen again. lady. and he wants that me yeah, but he's he'sjain. lady. and he wants that me yeah, but he's he's inn. >> yeah, but he's he's in a completely different labour party right now and i think just using name going scare using her name is going to scare voters. it's going to voters. it's not going to attract not likeable attract vote. he's not likeable attract vote. he's not likeable at the moment well. so no, at the moment as well. so no, but think it's kind of because but i think it's kind of because he recognises that she was good that they're going oh, really?

>> might em- elm-- >> so he might adopt some of her policies. but he's he's i like you said, the reverse psychology i >> -- >> it should be rishi using her name. it's to promote himself. >> interesting isn't it, >> it's interesting isn't it, that mentioned thatcher but that he's mentioned thatcher but not tony blair. yes would he. right. he was a good leader at tony was a very tony blair, who was a very successful leader and said, we want go back to that. yes. want to go back to that. yes. >> i wonder whether it's >> i just wonder whether it's the popularity among working class people for margaret thatcher in the end, she lifted the working class in this country . she gave them the right country. she gave them the right to buy their own property, start businesses. it was a very entrepreneurial and aspirational decade which massively expand the scope of the middle class in this country. i mean, david, you remember only fools and horses even delboy became a yuppie under margaret thatcher. >> and i just wonder where the keir starmer wants to tap into that i think that aspiration. yeah, i think that's it to you. i think that's probably what she delivered, what she said. >> never be able to >> he will never be able to deliver for he just because he's not powerful leader. not a powerful leader. >> none of them are .
