12:05 am
12:06 am
12:07 am
has been on your mind this week? alby.7 week? alby? >> benjamin. ben, it's time to ban media for all under ban social media for all under 18. look, this week, westminster was with rumours that the was abuzz with rumours that the prime minister, rishi sunak, is considering social media considering banning social media for under seconds. this for all under 16 seconds. this is a brilliant idea, but in my opinion it doesn't go far enough. social media, like enough. so social media, like drinking smoking be drinking and smoking should be banned seconds. banned for all under 18 seconds. and why. since advent and here's why. since the advent of media the late of social media in the late noughties, have seen mental noughties, we have seen mental health in teenagers and young adults plummet. an adults plummet. we've seen an increase depression in increase in depression in teenagers of 52, child suicides have increased by 150% and self—harm among girls has tripled. this is without mentioning the death of molly russell, a young lady who took her life just aged 14 last year. a court found that social media was a factor in her death . each was a factor in her death. each yean was a factor in her death. each year, more and more studies are finding links between youth suicide and social media. social media companies don't care about the health and well—being of our
12:08 am
children. they care about their profits, algorithms are indoctrinating minds, indoctrinating young minds, harming making harming our children, and making them seen worrying them sick. we've seen worrying trends platforms like trends emerge on platforms like tiktok. . a trend where tiktok. we saw. a trend where teenagers were praising osama bin laden on now, could you imagine war time era teenagers praising adolf hitler? it's completely unthinkable. critics and those with vested interests will tell you that this is impossible . will tell you that this is impossible. but did you will tell you that this is impossible . but did you know impossible. but did you know that most social media outlets already have very poorly regulated age restrictions of 13 plus? this could be verified by mandating id social media mandating id for social media account is not account creation. this is not rocket . childhood should rocket science. childhood should be should be be about learning. it should be about with friends about enjoying time with friends and out who you are. and figuring out who you are. not self—harm not about suicide or self—harm and that with a and depression. all that with a dash indoctrination dash of indoctrination undermining democracy. undermining western democracy. and we've got to ban and that's why we've got to ban social media for eighteens social media for under eighteens . you're mother and . belinda, you're a mother and ben, you're a father. do you think it's practical to ban social media for under eighteens ? >> 7. >>i ? >> i think 7— >> i think it's 7 >> i think it's essential. and i think as adults we have a duty of care to protect our children and to put boundaries in this whole sort of progressive
12:09 am
culture removing all culture of removing all boundanes culture of removing all boundaries of every kind of progress wonderful. no, it's progress is wonderful. no, it's not for childhood. children need protection i have protection from this. i have seen around teenagers all seen i'm around teenagers all the i house full the time. i have a house full of teenagers it is teenagers most days, and it is the one thing i feel is causing more mental instability in in teenagers when their minds are not quite developed yet, they're being rewired to be addicted to the dopamine hits that social media gives. so if you have a child on on tiktok for an hour, they're going to get far more stimulus from that than going to walk their dog or playing 4040 outside, and seek or outside, or hide and seek or board games with their with their that what board games with their with theiproblem that what board games with their with theiproblem is. that what board games with their with theiproblem is. it'sthat what board games with their with theiproblem is. it's also what board games with their with theiproblem is. it's also highly the problem is. it's also highly addictive. and taking away the problem is. it's also highly addicchildhood.aking away the problem is. it's also highly addicchildhood. allg away the problem is. it's also highly addicchildhood. all for away the problem is. it's also highly addicchildhood. all for profits ay from childhood. all for profits as as all awful as well as all the awful self—harm and eating disorders you like gender you have. things like gender ideology, convincing young children in children that they're born in the wrong body, that social contagion on social media contagion now on social media and kids, and really harming our kids, i think for think absolutely ban it for under the that under 18. it's the least that adults could do in this wild, wild west of internet madness for young people. >> practical? >> ben leo is it practical? >> ben leo is it practical? >> practical. and >> yes, it is practical. and also just forget the under

12:13 am
the direction of london's mayor, sadiq khan , with his usual lack sadiq khan, with his usual lack of mincing words. he said people of mincing words. he said people of abroad do not come to london until we can get rid of our clown mayor. london our once proud capital under khan's rule, has transformed from a gleaming beacon of british pride to something resembling a faded postcard . of better days . i postcard. of better days. i would argue, folks, it's downfall is somewhat shakespearean. if shakespeare had race baiting had been a race baiting vertically challenged egotist with a penchant for ruining everything he touched, khan seems to have a blind spot bigger than the london eye. when it comes to crime, stabbings, muggings , the lot, the crime muggings, the lot, the crime statistics are soaring like eagles , except the plummet in eagles, except the plummet in london into a pit of despair where congestion charges low traffic neighbourhoods, ulez those damn infernal cycle lanes. it's like playing a twisted game
12:14 am
of monopoly, where every square you land on is a super tax space. the biggest losers? they're not the latter. and leftists in khan's city hall, but the white van man london echoes today with calls for jihad and intifada more than it does. king and country. the rapid demographic overhaul of our capital hasn't exactly been the un—british success story. some would have you believe, especially when our weekends are increasingly marred by demonstrators offering succour and support to terrorist groups . and support to terrorist groups. in some, i reckon, clarkson's hit the nail on the head under khan, london is shedding its sheen. khan, london is shedding its sheen . it's morphing into a city sheen. it's morphing into a city where personal safety is a luxury. driving a car is a sin, and living within your means. a pipe and living within your means. a pipe dream what london needs is a mayor who'll get stuck in confront these issues with gusto
12:15 am
and resurrect london from the ashes of this failed social experiment . well, ben lee, or do experiment. well, ben lee, or do you think, uh, actually, this is a shakespeare play of tragedy and loss . by the way, say what and loss. by the way, say what you really think. >> please don't hold back. yeah, well, look, i think london >> please don't hold back. yeah, wean look, i think london >> please don't hold back. yeah, wean look, dump< london >> please don't hold back. yeah, wean look, dump . london >> please don't hold back. yeah, wean look, dump . i'veion >> please don't hold back. yeah, wean look, dump . i've worked where? >> you don't live here? >> you don't live here? >> yeah, i've worked here for 11 years. offence to years. sorry. no offence to anyone that, um, lives in london. i, you know, i've known not got the freedom not everyone's got the freedom to choose , but i to live where they choose, but i think dirtiest think london is the dirtiest grimiest. uh, most. dysfunctional city in the world. i've been to madagascar , and i'd i've been to madagascar, and i'd probably to in probably prefer to live in madagascar probably prefer to live in madagéhere years. worked here for 11 years. my colleagues i've been worked here for 11 years. my colleagsun, i've been worked here for 11 years. my colleagsun, or i've been worked here for 11 years. my colleagsun, or anywhere en worked here for 11 years. my colleagsun, or anywhere .n at the sun, here or anywhere. else, they've always said, when are you moving to london? it's so amazing. are are you moving to london? it's so leaving? amazing. are you leaving? >> back >> i'll be come back to that. i want view. >> i'll be come back to that. i waroh, view. >> i'll be come back to that. i waroh, well, view. >> i'll be come back to that. i waroh, well, me, view. >> i'll be come back to that. i waroh, well, me, i've w. >> i'll be come back to that. i waroh, well, me, i've lived >> oh, well, for me, i've lived in years. i absolutely in london 25 years. i absolutely love the city. but i love the city for its history, its buildings, its galleries. i do feel like since sadiq khan has come into power, that he has
12:16 am
utterly and completely divided it into separate groups. based on this crazy political identity of the left and his disassociate . hated it, disconnected it from from england. it's like his mini kingdom now, like like a sort of capital of the whole world. and i think that's a shame for a capital city that it's not stuck to its roots because we to its roots a bit, because we can all share in the fact that it's england's capital city. and yet that really, yet we only do that really, when there's . royal event or two. there's a. royal event or two. you know, sadiq khan is not known to known for appealing to absolutely everyone to unite under one thing. it's what divides so and so from this group. celebrate the group. let's celebrate the divisions and make little separate communities. and i find that really, that's not what a capital should be about. capital city should be about. so i do think i think he's really i do think he's london. i think he's really i do think he"you london. i think he's really i do think he"you said_ondon. i think he's really i do think he"you said it'sion. i think he's really i do think he"you said it's an english >> you said it's an english city, but it doesn't feel like an english city anymore. it used to be my dream to live london to be my dream to live in london when . i used to come when i was a kid. i used to come up on saturdays for drama classes. i used to go to drama school here. drama classes. i then of arsenal. >> tell, can tell you arsenal. >> somell, can tell you arsenal. >> some ll, caiclasses,u arsenal. >> somell, caiclasses, ben, done some drama classes, ben,

listening to gb news radio.
12:26 am
>> welcome back to the saturday five, a very i think it's safe to say, fiery one in which benjamin butterworth just told me to sod off so as always, thanks very much for your emails about tonight's topic on the social media question we raised earlier, jane has written in and jane says social media is such a toxic force . i despair at how toxic force. i despair at how it's impacting my grandchildren's lives. and sam says , i'm with you, ben. it's says, i'm with you, ben. it's quite scary how easily you can fall down a hole while scrolling. well, i hope she doesn't mean literally . and on doesn't mean literally. and on london, neil has written in and he's got some advice forjeremy he's got some advice for jeremy clarkson. he says jeremy clarkson. he says jeremy clarkson should run for of clarkson should run for mayor of london. at least he's got a handle on things , neil says. and handle on things, neil says. and james i don't recognise james says, i don't recognise the london of today compared to the london of today compared to the city up in. it's the city i grew up in. it's disgraceful. well that's that then. it's time for our next debate and it's time for a beunda debate and it's time for a belinda de lucy. belinda what have you got for us today? >> are we embarking on a purge
12:27 am
against white men in the office? many will have heard that the chief exec of aviva has recently told mps that the appointment of all senior white men must get a final sign off from her as part of her drive to rid the financial world of sexism. you ot love you don't speak for me . ot love you don't speak for me. this neo feminist crusade to penalise the entire male sex specifically, and only white men, rather than simply offer equal opportunities based on merit is so utterly insulting to women and to non—white applicants . i certainly won't be applicants. i certainly won't be teaching my daughters that in order for them to succeed, men have to step aside. we have all the tools to get where want the tools to get where we want to go. if we work enough . to go. if we work hard enough. we all have our equal rights engraved in law. and if we face discrimination , then we can take discrimination, then we can take legal that should be it. legal action that should be it. we don't punish an we don't need to punish an entire race and to raise entire race and sex to raise anyone up. and it is . white anyone up. and it is. white working class boys that are falling behind in education and who being brought who are currently being brought
12:28 am
up shame . shame up in a climate of shame. shame where their role models and historic heroes their historic heroes and their nation's are nation's achievements are trashed as if they uniquely trashed as if they are uniquely to blame for all the woes in the world, anti—white rhetoric is so prevalent now that businesses and celebs feel at ease, commenting negatively on white groups of people openly. it is racist and it needs called out. if we let this go unchecked, the question is who is next? the woke stasi won't stop with white men. next it will be women and black people not being black enough.the black people not being black enough. the woke end eating enough. the woke end up eating the woke. no one is safe unless we stop sanitising the discrimination of white men. diversity at all costs will cost us all. diversity at all costs will cost us.yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> so benjamin , what do you >> so benjamin, what do you think about the discrimination of white men in the office or workplace at the moment? it's not just aviva. there have been many adverts now, you know, discouraging white people from applying. do think is applying. do you think this is healthy are healthy in your woke world? are >> i mean, the idea that white men discriminated against in men are discriminated against in any is completely any meaningful way is completely absurd. they have enormous numbers of natural advantages ,
12:29 am
numbers of natural advantages, structural advantages in the system. and that's why things like trying to hire people from minority backgrounds or other backgrounds , like having a backgrounds, like having a disability maybe sexuality disability or maybe a sexuality that's underrepresented is important because they don't get the opportunity on a structural level that white men do. and when you talk about meritocracy , when you talk about meritocracy, kc, i really find it very hard to believe. if you look at the quality of some of the white men in parliament, that they were really , they were really there on merit, they were there because they had many there because they had so many advantages in the first place that wide that those doors were wide open for walk and for them to walk through. and the that, you know, if the fact is that, you know, if you're a muslim woman on a council going council estate, there are going to be a more in to be a lot more barriers in your than if you're a bloke your way than if you're a bloke that went to eton and is white. >> all have the opportunities >> we all have the opportunities to get what we all to work hard and get what we all get. school and get. opportunities at school and personal responsibility , personal responsibility, personal responsibility, personal responsibility, personal responsibility for the bad decisions you make in life. you know, we need to talk about that not ready to that as well, not be ready to point the blame at this. this made up structural or made up structural racism or sexism . i, as a woman, would sexism. i, as a woman, would hate to feel like got job
12:30 am
hate to feel like i got a job based the fact was based on the fact i was. i was female and not based on merit. >> the problem with that argument , >> the problem with that argument, belinda, the argument, belinda, is that the truth a lot of white men truth is that a lot of white men get the job because they're a white man, because the person they don't approve it says who? because much because they have so much culturally in common with the person hiring them. they get the jobs the mediocre white jobs because the mediocre white men this country, they have men run this country, they have for a long 2023 prime minister is for goodness sake. is asian for goodness sake. >> what do you mean? white people country? people run the country? suella braverman secretary braverman was home secretary kemi badenoch minister. >> the very fact that you can name that aren't name the people that aren't speaks and also speaks volumes, right? and also i would point out not with suella braverman, but often the sort of ethnic minority people suella braverman, but often the sort get thnic minority people suella braverman, but often the sort get toric minority people suella braverman, but often the sort get to those rority people suella braverman, but often the sort get to those positions,»le suella braverman, but often the sort get to those positions, the that get to those positions, the women to those positions women who get to those positions tend far . more women who get to those positions tend far. more capable tend to be far. more capable than the white men. they're replacing. >> so the only reason you're on this panel is because ticked >> so the only reason you're on tidiversity is because ticked >> so the only reason you're on tidiversity checkbox, ticked >> so the only reason you're on tidiversity checkbox, and ticked >> so the only reason you're on tidiversity checkbox, and it:ked >> so the only reason you're on tidiversity checkbox, and it was a diversity checkbox, and it was actually the checkbox we ticked was clinically insane. was being clinically insane. after that . nonsense it just after that. nonsense it just spouted, there were a few things that i would mention. >> maybe up >> so maybe to back up what benjamin do benjamin is saying, we do know that cvs that are
12:31 am
that when we have cvs that are sent out ethnic sounding names do not do as well in employment as english and european sounding names. that is a that is an undisputed fact. so that perhaps goesin undisputed fact. so that perhaps goes in favour of what you are saying, actually i would say saying, but actually i would say we need stop focusing on we need to stop focusing on things like race, whether or not we're talking about white people , black people, gay people , the , black people, gay people, the biggest factors that determine life outcomes are whether or not you're from a single parent household and the postcode that you are brought up in. now that has been missing from all of the discussion. week discussion. i think this week with everyone with the case at aviva, everyone has been saying anti—white racism . belinda, i'm afraid you racism. belinda, i'm afraid you did that . that is just as bad as did that. that is just as bad as people saying the reason, the reason aren't getting reason people aren't getting jobs. reason. hold reason people aren't getting jobrthat reason. hold reason people aren't getting jobrthat is reason. hold reason people aren't getting jobrthat is just reason. hold reason people aren't getting jobrthat is just asreason. hold reason people aren't getting jobrthat is just as bad>n. hold reason people aren't getting jobrthat is just as bad as hold on. that is just as bad as people saying the reason people aren't getting jobs because aren't getting jobs is because they're main factors they're black. the main factors are where you grew up and your family structure, and we need to talk those factors more talk about those factors more to be saying that be diplomatic by saying that both sides are a joke, not. >> is anti—white racism. >> there is anti—white racism. look, this week, the look, in boston, this week, the mayor of boston out an

12:39 am
line with the labour party and my god, it's backfired. this week they said on a tweet that labour had supported having foreign criminals staying in the country. if that's the case, country. now if that's the case, that's a bad thing. but there's a problem there . the rwanda a problem there. the rwanda policy says that if one of these refugees we send to rwanda commits a crime in rwanda, we have to . take them into this have to. take them into this country. so the only ones we keep are the ones break keep are the ones that break the law. it's a total farce. and for this spent £290 this farce, we've spent £290 million so far enough that if we were to send 100 of them there, were to send 100 of them there, we could educate them at eton were to send 100 of them there, we the ld educate them at eton were to send 100 of them there, we the ld edu
12:40 am
we need a deterrent. and actually, party's actually, the labour party's proposals just say, come one, come all and we'll process you here. idea . that the labour here. the idea. that the labour party are going to send anyone back, return them to their country even, dare back, return them to their c say:ry even, dare back, return them to their c say ,y even, dare back, return them to their c say , return even, dare back, return them to their c say , return them even, dare back, return them to their c say , return them to ven, dare back, return them to their c say , return them to the dare back, return them to their c say , return them to the land i say, return them to the land of wines and cheeses. if france . of wines and cheeses. if france. that's not going to happen because you people quite like the setup we have right now, which is mass migration in the hundreds of thousands. which is mass migration in the hundreds of thousands . that's hundreds of thousands. that's upper tier hundreds of thousands. we do need some form of deterrent. i'm not saying that actually the rwanda plan is the best thing since sliced bread. frankly, if i had my way, i would do what australia did under john i would do what australia did underjohn howard and then after that, under tony abbott, where we put people in unsinkable lifeboats and told them back to the country they came from, i would do that to france. i couldn't give two hoots about some european court turning round and saying, well, actually, that's a breach of international law or president macron saying, well, i've actually got my knickers in a
12:41 am
twist over this and i'm not too happy with you. i care about the security stability of this security and stability of this country. and i think that this is poses serious. threat to is poses a serious. threat to both of those things. >> if the fear of dying in the channel as sadly far too many people have, isn't a threat, doesn't put them off, why do you think the idea of being flown to an african country? really? >> because know they >> because they would know they can't would that can't stay. they would know that when here, you will when they get here, you will be ejected . and ejected from the country. and when that is brought into the equation, that allows people to actually get a sense of the fact that we're not some kind of soft touch as a nation, and we're not going over and scratch going to roll over and scratch their with boredom their belly with boredom benefits . benefits. >> the difference with australia benefits. >> thetowedznce with australia benefits. >> thetowed the with australia benefits. >> thetowed the boats australia benefits. >> thetowed the boats backilia is they towed the boats back mid—water wouldn't do that. mid—water we wouldn't do that. no, them in to the uk no, we'd allow them in to the uk first and then fly them to rwanda. and by the way, australia stopped the problem in its weeks . as soon its tracks within weeks. as soon as they doing that , we as they started doing that, we need to do the same. but actually this whole rwanda thing and is a bit
12:42 am
and stopping the boats is a bit of herring. anyway. of a red herring. anyway. darren, talk mass darren, you talk about mass migration of migration and hundreds of thousands a year. we've got the tories in charge. it's down to the who are the useless tories who are enabung the useless tories who are enabling this nonsense. 700,000 people a year, a city the size of birmingham every two years. and you want to talk about tens of thousands coming of thousands a year coming on small i don't small boats. i don't particularly that. particularly care about that. when we've got 700,000 people a year at the year coming in legally at the hands of the tories, the tories are a disgrace. they failed. that's your lot who have who have the last 13 have failed us for the last 13 years. get out . years. and they need to get out. >> actually . am defender of >> i, i actually. am defender of the i actually agree with you on that actually. was the that actually. and who was the person that up the person that came up with the rwanda plan and on liberalisation , on liberalising liberalisation, on liberalising immigration rules after brexit? bofis immigration rules after brexit? boris johnson and priti patel, they both came up with those ideas and implemented those policies . and i now think rwanda policies. and i now think rwanda was a distraction because they knew that net migration was going to go up. well up. >> france recently deported . >> france recently deported. a terror suspect again against a
12:43 am
strasbourg ruling. they stood up for their national security , for for their national security, for pubuc for their national security, for public safety, against international law. the fact that conservative party refuses to do that and continue to kneel at the altar of impressing their international friends while putting us at risk, i think is a massive betrayal of the tory party. say , oh, we've party. and you say, oh, we've got the legal got to focus on the legal migration . yes, of course, but migration. yes, of course, but having documented men in their hundreds of thousands is such a betrayal that it makes us feel safe, especially women and girls. it is right. do girls. it is not right. we do not know who's in country, not know who's in this country, especially as the terrorist threat up . what we threat is going up. what we should cap refugees at should do is cap refugees at 20,000 to resettle here. take them straight from camps. anyone who comes here because lorries are a problem to . it's not just are a problem to. it's not just the boats we straight back the boats we take straight back to france by the boats. i don't care we ruffle macron's care if we ruffle macron's feathers, he'll deal feathers, he'll have to deal with help with it and we can at least help genuine refugees, women and children who don't have tens of thousands of pounds to pay the smugglers . smugglers. >> the thing say about >> the one thing i'll say about breaking is we breaking international law is we can't, one of can't, as a country, as one of the countries that invented the
12:44 am
world liberal order, then, then go and break international law. >> a and also also >> it's a and also and also criticise iran, china and russia for doing the same when it's convenient for them. >> just makes me >> i just it makes me uncomfortable it uncomfortable using iran and it makes to chain makes me uncomfortable to chain us to bad international law. we can it. don't can change it. why don't we campaign to change it rather than we'll than breaking it? okay we'll have to move on there. >> still ahead folks , we've got >> still ahead folks, we've got one topic. ben, leo is one more topic. and ben, leo is going say on taylor going to have his say on taylor swift being named person of the yeah swift being named person of the year. you would could year. you would think he could just shake it off, seems . just shake it off, but it seems. we're not out of the woods quite yet. you with the saturday five live on gb news

scooped this year's prize is someone who's cracked the mystery of dark matter, perhaps cured cancer? or what about someone who simply done good in their community? well no, none of those. it's taylor swift, the one woman, man hating machine who has reached billionaire status by banging on song after song about how undateable she is something i just can't shake off. excuse the taylor pun, but she has millions of mostly young female fans who completely idolise her for the inability to hold down a relationship. when's it becoming so dysfunctional, become so . fashionable now, become so. fashionable now, look, i'm sure she's a lovely person and it's nothing personal, taylor, but you're 34 years old. you've been years old. you've never been married, you've got no kids, you've . got at least ten ex you've. got at least ten ex boyfriends, and your hit songs are called you need to down are called you need to calm down .look are called you need to calm down . look what you made me do. don't blame me. and knew don't blame me. and i knew you were . look, i don't know were trouble. look, i don't know about you , but it appears the about you, but it appears the common for trouble common denominator for trouble here appears you , taylor
