in britain in the first place. but is the labour party uncomfortably . close to uncomfortably. close to terrorists? now? we know that tony blair gave letters of comfort to the ira, and some of those people have been linked to more than 300 killings. we know that corbyn was that jeremy corbyn was describing hamas and hezbollah that jeremy corbyn was de�*his)ing hamas and hezbollah that jeremy corbyn was de�*his mates.mas and hezbollah that jeremy corbyn was de�*his mates. more nd hezbollah that jeremy corbyn was de�*his mates. more andiezbollah that jeremy corbyn was de�*his mates. more and more lah that jeremy corbyn was de�*his mates. more and more is1 as his mates. more and more is coming out now about sir keir starmer's catalogue of starmer's back catalogue of jihadi nutcases. latest jihadi nutcases. the latest is abu entered britain abu qatada, who entered britain under and was under a false passport and was then asylum. he issued then granted asylum. he issued a fatwa was justified fatwa saying it was justified to both muslims renounced both kill muslims who renounced their and kill their their faith and kill their families. four later, he families. four years later, he made in which he made a speech in which he effectively fatwa effectively issued another fatwa advocating jews, advocating the killing of jews, including children. starmer did, of course, through his legal profession, him to try to profession, help him to try to resist deportation and imprisonment. it's also emerged keir starmer gave legal advice to group hizb ut—tahrir to islamist group hizb ut—tahrir in its appeal over a ban in germany . if in its appeal over a ban in germany. if you think you've heard of that group, then you probably have. they . were the

probably have. they. were the group calling for muslim armies to unite quite recently . it took to unite quite recently. it took me . but sadiq khan's past has me. but sadiq khan's past has also come into question . khan, also come into question. khan, who was so morally opposed to trump that he was keen to ban him coming to britain, did act for the nation of islam and their leader, mr farrakhan, who thought that hitler was a good man. he argued on behalf of the hate preacher that he should be allowed into britain again, acting within his legal, legal profession. of course, he's previously been criticised for sharing a platform with stop political terror, which . kind of political terror, which. kind of ironically was backed by an extremist imam who preached to the 9/11 hijackers and acted as a recruiting sergeant for al—qaeda. he reports he addressed four meetings of the group to campaign for babar ahmad, a at tooting constituent, and terror suspect who mr khan and terror suspect who mr khan and others tried unsuccessfully

to stop being extradited to america before the 2005 general election . ahmad later pleaded election. ahmad later pleaded pleaded guilty to conspiracy and providing material to support terrorism . in two thousand and terrorism. in two thousand and seven, both khan and jeremy corbyn were allegedly present at a 10th anniversary celebration of the palestinian return centre , which is outlawed by the israeli government. israel says the prc is affiliated to hamas and has been involved in initiating and organising radical and violent activity against israel in europe. sadiq khan has previously said that his legal career meant that he had to mix with some unsavoury characters, and that he didn't agree with their views, but could you blame some people for maybe questioning the amount of times that that has happened? and, when you look at the and, and when you look at the record prominent members record of some prominent members of party, is it fair of the labour party, is it fair to raise questions about how comfortable otherwise some of comfortable or otherwise some of them mingling with them have been mingling with extremists? let's get the thoughts my now i'm thoughts of my panel now i'm joined by gb news presenter ben leo, conservative peer lord bailey and author and

broadcaster amy nicole turner and lord bailey. i'll start with you because you possibly know the likes of sadiq khan a little bit better than anybody else on this panel. he will say and does say that obviously throughout the course of his legal profession, he was just mingling with know, is with these people, you know, is it questions about it fair to raise questions about how comfortable or otherwise some the party some members of the labour party have been with extremists? i think things to say. think there's two things to say. of course. >> right to ask these questions. >> that's democratic right. >> that's our democratic right. but have to look in a legal but you have to look in a legal sense and in a personal political sense for keir starmer , rule , for instance, cab rank rule deaung , for instance, cab rank rule dealing people coming dealing with people coming through, but that means he through, fine. but that means he should be asked about his should be asked now about his enthusiam for these people's behaviour. where he is them behaviour. where he is with them and to make public and forced to make public statements them . statements for or against them. >> with sadiq khan as well. >> same with sadiq khan as well. i slight difference i think the slight difference here a lot of this with sadiq here is a lot of this with sadiq khan was done when he wasn't a lawyer or he wasn't representing them in court. >> now that's a slightly different because different thing because he has more choice there. >> but the cab rank rule is a real thing in this country, and

it that sometimes it does mean that sometimes times barrister in particular times a barrister in particular will people will have to represent people they agree with. they don't agree with. >> the things that >> it's one of the things that makes legal profession work. makes our legal profession work. >> views on >> okay, amy, your views on whether the labour party whether or not the labour party is slightly uncomfortable, close at radical extremism. yes. >> think you're making yes. >> thinkyou're making big >> i think you're making a big jump >> i think you're making a big jump taken jump because you've taken a series of examples of i think i agree with shaun, actually, for once in my entire life, it's christmas after and it's christmas after all, and it's just lawyers lawyering just lawyers doing lawyering like everyone, not all of it, but a bulk of it. and i think it's incredibly misleading to link keir starmer to, um, abu qatada. yeah he had a series of lawyers. he was instructed by his legal firm to represent him. one once. um, it doesn't affiliate his personal feelings whatsoever. and it's really unfair to kind of try and put that across to the public. i think the telegraph's reporting of that was really irresponsible . actually. it's not for i mean, no, the question does have his feelings labour'sfeelings no, the question does have his feelings labour's feelings. feelings or labour's feelings. everybody the right to a lawyer. >> the question, the question does to be asked.

does need to be asked. >> a legitimate to ask it. >> it's a legitimate to ask it. and the labour party of course, have a much stronger affiliation with this arena . with with people in this arena. >> so this this is it. and ben, when you look at the likes of, you know, the tony blair era letters of comfort situation, jeremy corbyn, who keir starmer was to get elected was happy to try to get elected not once but twice. and some of the previous historic links there, whether through there, whether it's through the legal attending there, whether it's through the legal platforms attending there, whether it's through the legal platforms where ending there, whether it's through the legal platforms where extremists other platforms where extremists were talking. do you think there are question marks over the labour party ? labour party? >> by the way, just >> 100? and by the way, just before start that clip of before i start that clip of james there isn't too james cleverly, there isn't too far off sadiq khan's terrorism is parcel of living in is part and parcel of living in a as you said, a big city. so as you said, thanks a lot guys for harbouring that kind of threat in our capital city. but yeah, definitely when it comes to keir starmer, as you said, he was the man who was rallying for jeremy corbyn, who with corbyn, who was mates with hezbollah . it was happy to happy hezbollah. it was happy to happy to mix . to mix. >> it wasn't mate. sorry. >> it wasn't mate. sorry. >> starmer . >> it wasn't mate. sorry. >> starmer. no >> it wasn't mate. sorry. >> starmer . no matter what >> starmer. no matter what starmer says he was doing the

rounds today in estonia with our troops wearing that camo jacket, acting all patriotic no matter what he says, he cannot whitewash the facts that for many years he campaigned to get jeremy prime minister jeremy corbyn as prime minister of this country. wanted be of this country. he wanted to be his deputy. all all while in the knowledge that he happy to knowledge that he was happy to hang with hezbollah and hang around with hezbollah and hamas. we what hamas hang around with hezbollah and hicapable we what hamas hang around with hezbollah and hicapable ofne what hamas hang around with hezbollah and hicapable of on what hamas hang around with hezbollah and hicapable of on \the hamas is capable of on october the 7th. and he cannot just whitewash that now by saying 7th. and he cannot just whit�*he'sh that now by saying 7th. and he cannot just whit�*he's movediow by saying 7th. and he cannot just whit�*he's movediow and;aying that he's moved on and he condemns corbyn and his ilk. it's nonsense. >> amy sadiq khan was questioned prominently jewish prominently by the jewish chronicle outlets chronicle and other outlets as well, amount of well, about the amount of times he's platforms with he's appeared on platforms with some out extremist some out and out extremist rhiannon and he rhiannon jones. and he was saying like, oh yeah, i saying things like, oh yeah, i didn't really know what their views i just turned and views were. i just turned up and said and left. do you buy that? >> yeah, because it happens to me all the time. to hang me all the time. i have to hang out rollins day. out with rollins every day. every week. well, terrorists. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well, no, i don't answer that. >> i don't know. >> i don't know. >> um, but i think that one of the things you mentioned was advocating for palestinian rights. don't that rights. i don't think that should be seen massively should be seen as massively controversial. mentioned should be seen as massively cont it's, 'sial. mentioned should be seen as massively cont it's, um, mentioned should be seen as massively

cont it's, um, it's mentioned should be seen as massively cont it's, um, it's illegal)ned should be seen as massively cont it's, um, it's illegal ined that it's, um, it's illegal in israel, but they, of course, want to silence that conversation. but i don't think we should. >> but hold on, hold on, amy, this this is the tricky part, isn't it, alice? um, advocating for palestinian rights. spot on. absolutely do absolutely perfect to do advocate. for advocate. um advocate for certain maybe not certain groups, maybe not so much. so not about the much. so it's not about the topic , it's how go about topic, it's how you go about doing and i think that's doing it. and i think that's where keir starmer and particularly khan particularly sadiq khan will have questions to answer. >> so cautious. he's overly >> so cautious. he's been overly cautious. been now. >> he has been now. >> he has been now. >> he has been now when he feels like he's in the spotlight, he's got a chance. >> he's gonna years. >> he's gonna years. >> for he we have to >> but for years he we have to find how enthusiastic was he find out how enthusiastic was he personally to support these groups. again, i go back to the fact legally and professionally, he did right cab he did the right thing cab rank rule. but he did an awful lot of it. and was it because he was a specialist or because he enjoyed it and that's the question we need ask, the way, may need to ask, by the way, may i add, starmer, um, isn't just add, um, starmer, um, isn't just content cosy people content with cosy up with people of questionable, um, association with terrorists. >> he's also campaigned a couple

of years back. he signed that joint letter demanding that foreign criminals weren't deported from the i know deported from the uk. i know it's a slightly separate issue, but it is proof that his judgement isn't isn't the best of a basket of stuff. >> keir starmer, quite >> so keir starmer, quite rightly, quite rightly, say rightly, quite rightly, will say cab know, i cab rank rule. you know, i was a lawyer, like you said, there was a of a lot of this. but you a heck of a lot of this. but you know they like know what they sound like interesting be on the interesting cases to be on the inside so i can understand. inside of. so i can understand. and that logic behind why was and that logic behind why he was quite defending quite routinely defending people who are just, you know, extremists and jihadis, etc. i don't course , don't agree with it. of course, but i can understand the logic behind it. but then when you add that things like him signing that to things like him signing that to things like him signing that get people that declaration to get people off flight, off a deportation flight, banning deportations, banning all deportations, helping have access to sim helping them have access to sim cards so they find it, even cards so they can find it, even more, and you just start to wonder and sorrow. >> sorry. even today, starmer cameo chat >> sorry. even today, starmer camechristopher chat >> sorry. even today, starmer camechristopher hope. chat >> sorry. even today, starmer camechristopher hope. earlier with christopher hope. earlier in estonia, he was saying that he backs the irish leo he he backs the irish leo varadkar who's colluding with joe biden to now prosecute and overturn legislation to prosecute , uh, northern irish prosecute, uh, northern irish veterans who . were were immune

veterans who. were were immune from the troubles. so time after time, starmer is siding with not people who he should be siding with. >> mischaracterising the letter as well , because a lot of the as well, because a lot of the people on that flight , people people on that flight, people who about deported the jamaican deportation letter. >> why ? >> why? >> why? >> because a lot of people on that list were people who are committed small drugs related offences and had families . offences and had families. >> what, you think they should stay here in the uk? >> they had families and yes. >> but they were all committed. they were british. >> but then he says most people he has to pick and choose. >> people arrived here.

>> people arrived here. >> no, no, it grew up the point. no, point is, the point is no, the point is, the point is this. if have to qualify, why this. if we have to qualify, why this. if we have to qualify, why this then stop this so heavily, then they stop it wrong. this so heavily, then they stop it wrongthe other thing to >> and the other thing to remember well, this is in the remember as well, this is in the background where starmer background where keir starmer was party was at the very top of a party that anti—semitic, that was hugely anti—semitic, and the amount of, the and the amount of, um, the amount and basically amount of vitriol and basically force the anti force that they were the anti semitic nature inside the party. >> what done >> remember that what was done about it, all of that investigation, terrible. about it, all of that inv> why is what? sorry. >> why is what? sorry. >> why why living >> well, why why are we living into because into such. you know, because we've had fear. >> had sorry, we've had fear. >> we've had sorry, we've had fear. >> we've had had sorry, we've had fear. >> we've had 131ad sorry, we've had fear. >> we've had 13 yearssorry, we've had fear. >> we've had 13 years of ry, sean. we've had 13 years of a tory government that's to tory government that's happy to have uncontrolled mass migration. had city the have uncontrolled mass mig|of on. had city the have uncontrolled mass mig|of birmingham d city the have uncontrolled mass mig|of birmingham d city tin size of birmingham flooding in legally and legally every two years. and we've also got an issue where we were of world. were once rulers of the world. rule britannia! we ruled the waves colonised world. rule britannia! we ruled the wavwe colonised world. rule britannia! we ruled the wavwe can'tolonised world. rule britannia! we ruled the wavwe can't stopsed world. rule britannia! we ruled the wavwe can't stop dinghiesrorld. yet we can't stop dinghies coming in across with undocumented age males undocumented fighting age males to that's we're unsafe. >> that's why we're unsafe. if you secretary you become the home secretary tomorrow the police tomorrow morning and the police say high say to you, the risks are high here, it's your job to

with anti—semitism. campaigners calling for him to be replaced. so tonight , might i ask, should so tonight, might i ask, should there be drop olly alexander from next year's eurovision contest? let me know your thoughts. gb views or gb news. com tweet me at gb news while you're there, take part in our poll which live now and i'll poll which is live now and i'll get the results to you shortly. in a second. we're going to debate former labour debate this with former labour adviser and adviser stella cantacuzino and chair of the national jewish assembly, gary mohan. but first, let me bring in former mumford and sons frontman winston let me bring in former mumford and sons winston| winston let me bring in former mumford and sons winston ,winston let me bring in former mumford and sons winston , thank n let me bring in former mumford and sons winston , thank you marshall, winston, thank you very much. great to have you on the show. i don't think we've had the pleasure before. what do you this? should the bbc you make of this? should the bbc drop for his drop olly alexander for his views israel ? views on israel? >> patrick, thanks for having me on . i'd like to start on the show. i'd like to start just quickly reviewing the just by quickly reviewing the letter that olly alexander signed. was on october 20th, signed. it was on october 20th, not two weeks after . the october not two weeks after. the october 7th massacre. it really is worth reading. it's by a group called voices for london. uh, a gay

rights lgbtq, etc. etc. etc. group . and uh, in the letter group. and uh, in the letter they describe israel committing genocide and apartheid , ethnic genocide and apartheid, ethnic cleansing , uh, etc. etc, etc. cleansing, uh, etc. etc, etc. now if you were to sign, if you really believe this, you clearly do not understand what genocide means, what apartheid means, or what ethnic cleansing means. it suggests you have little to no understanding of israel or palestine . or if you're going to palestine. or if you're going to use words like apartheid south africa. um uh, it is an anti—semitic letter that has been signed. it's anti—semitic because it's explicit , because it's explicit, explicitly anti zionist to be anti—zionist is to be against jews having sovereignty, a sovereign nation. so that is anti—semitic. now it is also quite a comical letter. i'll give you an example . it's it give you an example. it's it says criminalisation of homosexuality in much of the

world comes from colonialism. now . they're right, but not in now. they're right, but not in the way they think because they manage in this letter to lambast the history of british, the british empire. but if they had read the quran, which they clearly have not, they would realise. yes, the colonialisation by islam over the last 1400 years has been fundamental in making homosexuality illegal. um, uh, but of course, and the most obvious comical aspect of this letter is that it's an international queer slur . it's international queer slur. it's queer solidarity with palestine when they believe solidarity with palestine is a queer issue. that's direct, quote , which of that's direct, quote, which of course is another example of cows for mckids or chickens for kfc. as we've seen again and again. and again. now to the question of olly alexander, who i think is a very talented musician and he's written some great he certainly sung some

great he certainly sung some great songs. should he be representing britain well as someone who abhors what he said and what this letter , and i also and what this letter, and i also note , i've not seen any evidence note, i've not seen any evidence that he wrote anything on october 7th. nothing . um, or october 7th. nothing. um, or october 7th. nothing. um, or october 8th or, uh, despite abhorring what he said, i think absolutely . we cannot cancel absolutely. we cannot cancel people. we cannot , uh, just people. we cannot, uh, just because we disagree with them, no matter how abhorrent their opinions are. i mean, perhaps if he was actually inciting violence , maybe then we could violence, maybe then we could draw a line . but no, he is right draw a line. but no, he is right to his opinion. and if britain is worth it, it stands for anything . it's the liberal idea anything. it's the liberal idea of freedom of speech. it's a very old, uh, british, um , value very old, uh, british, um, value that we must . very old, uh, british, um, value that we must. stand by very old, uh, british, um, value that we must . stand by even when that we must. stand by even when we have poor or what we are hearing. so i think actually we stand by whether i'll be supporting britain. no, i'll probably support israel in this particular, uh , this year. but particular, uh, this year. but we must not. we must not. silence. olly alexander.

>> yeah . look, i'll just let you >> yeah. look, i'll just let you go there because i thought it was all gold. and you've nicely encapsulated all the issues in one winston thank you one go. so, winston, thank you very much. to have you on very much. great to have you on the love you the show. we'd love to have you back point soon. it's back on at some point soon. it's the marshall the wonderful winston marshall there former mumford and there is a former mumford and sons frontman. so look, we're going gonna a going to we're gonna have a debate studio debate with this in the studio now, the bbc drop olly now, should the bbc drop olly alexander as our eurovision alexander as as our eurovision contestant? labour advisor, former stellar hokkaido . and former stellar hokkaido. and chair of the national jewish assembly, gary moen joins me now. stella your views, you know, think was an know, do you think it was an anti—semitic he anti—semitic letter? should he be i don't think it was an >> no, i don't think it was an anti—semitic letter. i think it was nuanced a person who was a nuanced as a person who works policy, i wouldn't use works in policy, i wouldn't use exactly describe exactly these words to describe the as the facts that they described as i've said before, i'm not the icc, so i'm not going to say whether is genocide or whether there is a genocide or not going on right now. >> of viewers are >> but a lot of viewers are thinking and it is. >> but a lot of viewers are thinking and it is . what's thinking that, and it is. what's the purpose of artists like olly ? um, if not for them to express their opinions ? i think this is their opinions? i think this is an entirely innocent thing, especially when you're talking

about the eurovision, is about the eurovision, which is a highly year highly politicised event year in year out. why should the israeli government tell the uk what its artists can or cannot, cannot say ? say? >> calls apparently from some nafions >> calls apparently from some nations that if israel was allowed to take part in this, then they would be pulling out of the whole gary do you of the whole thing. gary do you not think the job of a singer is just sing and not to get just to sing and not to get involved this stuff? what's youn >> absolutely. i don't like the idea mixing idea of politics mixing with sport entertainment. idea of politics mixing with spoi'm entertainment. idea of politics mixing with spoi'm somebodynment. idea of politics mixing with spoi'm somebody who,t. years >> i'm somebody who, 50 years ago this country in ago represented this country in butterfly swimming . butterfly swimming. >> i was an england international swimmer and i believed and we said at those days we had the situation with the americans boycotting the moscow olympics and numerous other cases of politics and sport and entertainment getting intertwined. >> i'm opposed to that completely . and, you know, we completely. and, you know, we see even to these days, iranian athletes and iranian chess players won't compete with israelis . israelis. >> um, this is something that is against the entire ethos of

fairness in sport and in entertainment. >> and so i think that what has happened as olly alexander has crossed the line here, and i do believe the bbc should remove him from the as our eurovision. >> so you think he should be removed? >> winston marshall thinks he should. and you think it's just freepatrick and without >> patrick and artist without politics is like a marriage without love. i do not see the point. why would you become an artist if you're not allowed to have politics? why do you think olly down route? it is olly went down that route? it is simply unfair. and he's not an entertainer. conor. i'm sorry. he's not an entertainer. he's an artist. it's completely artist. and it's completely different even different from sports. but even then, even again, are people not allowed to have political opinions, especially you opinions, especially if you if you to think understand , you were to think i understand, you were to think i understand, you is you don't think genocide is going we don't know yet. going on, but we don't know yet. we know what's happening we don't know what's happening exactly, international exactly, because international journalists are not allowed in gaza. journalists are not allowed in gaza . but if the facts do come a gaza. but if the facts do come a few years from now or a year from now after christmas . and from now after christmas. and the situation starts to crystallise and we realise exactly how many people died in

exactly how many people died in exactly what were the actions of the idf , which we already know. the idf, which we already know. i mean, the israeli government is calling palestinians is already calling palestinians human animals. not like we human animals. it's not like we are not aware of their intentions and we're not aware of how view of their of how they view palestine . palestine. >> do think it's a bit >> do you not think it's a bit silly, though, gary, for a group of identifying as the of people identifying as the queer of which he queer community of which he supposedly is a prominent member to be coming in to bat for a nafion to be coming in to bat for a nation that may well throw them off a building, if indeed any buildings are left standing a nation, a or political party. >> patrick. >> patrick. >> well, people make the >> well, people make up the silly understatement . silly is an understatement. >> israel is of the most gay >> israel is one of the most gay friendly the world, friendly countries in the world, with gay marches with regular gay pride marches and demonstrations all over israel. if he was, if the gay community was to spend some time in gaza, they might not survive there very long. >> well, they wouldn't exactly . >> well, they wouldn't exactly. >> well, they wouldn't exactly. >> but patrick, here, you're talking about the political opinions of a political of representing britain on an on an international stage , which. international stage, which. >> wait a minute, wait a minute. >> wait a minute, wait a minute. >> you are assigning blame to palestinians, where over half of

the population in palestine is children . so you are telling me children. so you are telling me that that you are telling me that that you are telling me that people who never got to vote for hamas . yeah, but is vote for hamas. yeah, but why is held responsible and should be held responsible and should be held responsible and should be held responsible for hamas's actions and the israeli government should not be held responsible for their actions today. right now, there's a simple point here, and that is that the overwhelming majority of the palestinian people have in polls have said they do support hamas. >> and also the overwhelming majority of the palestinian people are children. also with regard to all the palestinians who have the claim to have been killed , and the only information killed, and the only information we have about is hamas we have about that is hamas information, hamas information, because hamas controls the health ministry in gaza. we don't have any independent verification at 20,000 palestinians have been killed . many do you think so killed. many do you think so many. so many terrorists have been killed. how many ? been killed. how many? >> how many do you think do you know according to the know 20. 20. according to the israeli to israeli government, according to the , 20% of israeli soldiers the idf, 20% of israeli soldiers who have died in this conflict have by the idf have been killed by the idf

itself. is . how can you itself. this is. how can you tell me, gary , how many people tell me, gary, how many people do you think that okay, you're telling me 20,000 is not how many have died ? many have died? >> i'm what want to get back >> i'm what i want to get back to trust , you know? look what to trust, you know? look what i want back to you. because want to get back to you. because we and have a row we can sit here and have a row about the about israel—palestine. the whole time. what i want to get back not back to is whether or not somebody should somebody with those views should be eurovision song. >> if represents then >> if he represents us, then he his views become story his views will become the story and as an and not his talent as an entertainer . entertainer. >> okay. >> okay. >> and you don't think you will win that. win more votes if you do that. but what the majority but but that's what the majority of british support of the british people support a ceasefire. cameron, ceasefire. even david cameron, the foreign secretary, now supports a ceasefire . right. so supports a ceasefire. right. so actually, if anything, i would say makes a great say all makes a great representative for the united kingdom go. kingdom there we go. >> to head >> it's called a head to head for a very good reason. and it was indeed a caucus. so who do you with uk's you agree with as the uk's eurovision act, alexander eurovision act, olly alexander called apartheid called israel an apartheid state responsible should called israel an apartheid state resfbbcble should called israel an apartheid state resfbbc drop should called israel an apartheid state resfbbc drop him? should called israel an apartheid state resfbbc drop him? david should called israel an apartheid state resfbbc drop him? david saysld the bbc drop him? david says yes, the bbc should drop him but will as they are will not, as they are pro—palestine . lloyd on twitter pro—palestine. lloyd on twitter says no because he is correct in

what he says. okay your verdict is in, uh , very, very shortly as is in, uh, very, very shortly as well . i'll show. shirley's been well. i'll show. shirley's been on the bbc four figures like olly as they say, exactly what the bbc head office is thinking. right. okay. thank you. shirley 84% of you on twitter think that the bbc should drop olly alexander from eurovision. 16% of you say they shouldn't. coming up a suella braverman launches another attack on rishi sunak this time over his plans to let some criminals serve time in the community rather than in prison. is the former home secretary right to demand prolific offenders get all domestic jail sentences? former prisons minister ann widdecombe. she weighs in shortly. but next there's been a horrific shooting in the czech capital of prague, where at least 15 people have been killed when a gunman opened fire at a university, sparking chaos in the historic city centre. we will bring you the latest , centre. we will bring you the latest, including centre. we will bring you the latest , including eyewitness latest, including eyewitness accounts from some british lads who were just metres away. don't go anywhere . what

welcome back. well well. under a new sentencing bill, criminals facing jail terms of less than 12 months will be allowed to serve their punishment in the community. but suella braverman has hit back at this. she's claiming the policy won't stop

them reoffending . she's them from reoffending. she's demanding automatic jail terms for the most prolific offenders . for the most prolific offenders. well, i'm now by former well, i'm joined now by former prisons minister and we widikum and will be joining us in just a second. what do you make of this? do you think that we should have some of the most prolific offenders allowed prolific offenders just allowed to sentences in the to serve their sentences in the community? that to me sounds quite a like freedom. should quite a lot like freedom. should the offenders be the worst offenders be automatically jail ? uh, automatically sent to jail? uh, and obviously as this country continues to be swept by a knife crime epidemic, a four year old boy was sadly stabbed to death in east london last night as well. in liverpool, in east london last night as well. in liverpool , stamp well. in liverpool, stamp survival cupboards containing vital medical equipment have been installed in the first initiative of its kind . these initiative of its kind. these are designed to help the public treat victims before paramedics arrive. and then grief. i mean, you couple that with james cleverly's happy christmas message earlier on, don't you? which is basically you know, happy everybody . try happy christmas everybody. try not to get blown up by a complete lunatic at a christmas market. and does make

market. and it does really make you wonder about law and order in of in this country. and instead of building we in this country. and instead of buildi put we in this country. and instead of buildi put more we in this country. and instead of buildi put more people we in this country. and instead of buildi put more people in we in this country. and instead of buildi put more people in thosee could put more people in those prisons longer prisons and give them longer sentences , it appears to me like sentences, it appears to me like another catastrophic infrastructure problem where we decide to capitulate it. instead we say, look what we're going to do is send fewer people to prison. and the ones we do send there, we're to remove prison. and the ones we do send there, viand to remove prison. and the ones we do send there, viand release) remove prison. and the ones we do send there, viand release them)ve prison. and the ones we do send there, viand release them out quicker and release them out into the wild so that they can move like your move in next to people like your loved ones. widdicombe does loved ones. and widdicombe does join former prisons join us now. former prisons minister very, join us now. former prisons mini much very, join us now. former prisons mini much . very, join us now. former prisons mini much . it's very, join us now. former prisons mini much . it's suella very, join us now. former prisons mini much . it's suella braverman very much. it's suella braverman right. should we be locking up more criminals longer ? yeah. more criminals for longer? yeah. >> well, yes, of course we should. and crucially , we should should. and crucially, we should not be sending any message to people it's okay, you know, people that it's okay, you know, to commit offence after offence after offence. and as long as they're fairly minor offences. well they won't go to prison. thatis well they won't go to prison. that is not the right message to send out because of course there are two reasons for putting people in prison . one is to people in prison. one is to punish them for what they've done crucially, the done, but crucially, the other is keep people safe from them is to keep people safe from them . uh, and if people are

committing, even if it's low level crime, if they're committing it prolifically, then the rest of us are not being kept . kept safe. >> no, indeed . and it does >> mhm. no, indeed. and it does appear like we're all being sacrifice because we haven't built enough prisons . i know built enough prisons. i know enough prisons in ann widdecombe's britain and we'd have, have plenty of have, we'd have plenty of prisons plenty of people in prisons and plenty of people in them ann . them wouldn't we, ann. >> well most certainly would . >> well we most certainly would. um, and we would have at least 20,000 extra prison places . uh, 20,000 extra prison places. uh, and when i went through this , and when i went through this, when i was actually in the home office in charge of prisons , we office in charge of prisons, we had a sudden surge in the prison population. i didn't say, oh, dean population. i didn't say, oh, dear, don't send people to prison. i brought in extra prison. i brought in extra prison places, brought in a prison places, brought in a prison ship, brought in, uh, cabins from disused norwegian oil rigs, put them down in the lower security prisons . uh, lower security prisons. uh, plenty of ways of doing it. if you have the will. sunak has no will. >> no, indeed . will. >> no, indeed. um, will. >> no, indeed . um, now, ann, >> no, indeed. um, now, ann, we're going to have to be very quick here because we had a

on tiktok. they've got tens of thousands of views. clips like this. imagine an eight year old child was constantly bullied , child was constantly bullied, harassed and mentally traumatised by his teachers because that he's palestinian. >> that's exactly happened >> that's exactly what happened at berkeley school. you at berkeley primary school. you can behind me the can see behind me is the children bear right now children in need bear right now you little patch on its you see the little patch on its eye. remove the patch eye. parents remove the patch and palestinian and added the palestinian flag there represent the there just to represent the children in need in palestine. they even the parents that they even told the parents that if carry doing if you carry on doing this, we're going to ahead and we're going to go ahead and refer you your kids to refer you and your kids to prevent. so barclays school is basically saying that if you support palestine, then you're going right? >> the school literally says nothing untoward has happened at all. they said that parents had decided their kids to decided to send their kids to school, essentially dressed up as palestinian on as the palestinian flag on a non—uniform because, non—uniform day, because, i mean, completely normal mean, that's completely normal behaviour, it? and then behaviour, isn't it? and then a letter sent to eight letter was sent to eight families a school of 1325 families out of a school of 1325 students, warning that inappropriate comments made at school, including extremist or divisive comments, would result in formal meetings with senior figures at that school, which

strongly implies something doesn't it? when you think about it, about the kinds of views that some of these children were being infected it went on being infected with, it went on to say that if that behaviour continued , then they might be continued, then they might be reported to the counter—terrorism prevent scheme, literally the scheme, which is literally the school's anyway , like school's job anyway, like absolutely normal people with good jobs to go to, a load of people turned up outside the school today, teachers were apparently threatened and intimidated , and the father of intimidated, and the father of the child, who was supposedly mentally traumatised , said this . mentally traumatised, said this. >> he attended the school with a small sticker, puts a sticker with a small bow tie in palestinian colours , and the palestinian colours, and the flag was the sticker was removed from him in the morning. >> um. >> um. >> on monday he returned back to school with his coat and a flag. >> his palestinian flag on his sleeve . sleeve. >> we were told by senior teachers that he would not be allowed back on school premises. the following morning. >> i think it's happening because of discrimination,

islamophobia , to demand that his islamophobia, to demand that his resignation and justin james should go . should go. >> i'm sorry, but this is not normal behaviour. i went to the school today and one person told me that their young child who goes to that school had to walk a gauntlet , goes to that school had to walk a gauntlet, and another child made a throat cutting gesture to her. i spoke to another parent opposite the school this afternoon who isn't happy . afternoon who isn't happy. >> heightens the tensions. >> heightens the tensions. >> children repeat what they hear at home. >> um , i just don't think it's >> um, i just don't think it's the right place to air these views and have this political discussion. >> i know this school. i don't think any , um, any of the think any, um, any of the allegations, uh , i don't know allegations, uh, i don't know for sure, of course, but i don't believe any of them. you'll be able to see the palestinian flag there. >> that's because the protesters then lined the street with palestinian flags. do you not think it's massively disproportionate to have an issue with the school and then

turn up to the palestinian flags all down a road and start screaming shouting and being screaming and shouting and being threatening? well, one local resident didn't think resident certainly didn't think that was disproportionate . that was disproportionate. obviously, the teachers are saying they shut the school saying that they shut the school because felt that they'd because they felt that they'd received threats and things like that. do you think that's a bit disproportionate or not? >> i'm, i'm very confused >> um, i'm, i'm very confused with that kind of statement because i live the community. because i live in the community. >> kids went to the school >> my kids went to the school across road , and this a across the road, and this is a very docile community. yeah very clearly we have a real problem here, don't we? >> we can't have a situation where schools are forced to close , and staff don't feel safe close, and staff don't feel safe going to work at the slightest offence certain community. offence to a certain community. see, of batley see, there are shades of batley grammar school to this. we cannot behaviour cannot normalise this behaviour if the parents are willing to behave like this public, then behave like this in public, then goodness only knows what they say kids in the privacy say to their kids in the privacy of own home. but let's get of their own home. but let's get the thoughts of my panel now. gb news presenter ben leo, conservative peer bailey conservative peer lord bailey and author and broadcaster amy

nicole turner. ben this for me is just another example of absolute nuttery taking place at the moment. >> yeah, nuttery good, good way to describe it. like you said, we had this in uh, in batley. there another incident, um, there was another incident, um, in north somewhere where the in up north somewhere where the child scuffed the child accidentally scuffed the quran mother quite quran and the mother quite laughably, was dragged into some village hall and made to give a grovelling apology. had grovelling apology. you've had incidents in france where i think a teacher was beheaded for potentially doing something with the prophet muhammad . um, these the prophet muhammad. um, these certain religious groups think that it's acceptable to hound hardworking staff and also take their religious views as a higher priority over the education of not just their children, but plenty of other children, but plenty of other children in that school. and it's absolutely out of order. they shouldn't, first of all, be sending their kids to school with any geopolitical propaganda on their their bags or whatever it is, whether it be an israeli flag, a palestinian flag, or

even propaganda . let kids even trans propaganda. let kids be go to school , learn, be kids, go to school, learn, get an education and leave that nonsense at home. >> i'll come to you because >> amy, i'll come to you because i think you have quite a radically different view to this. i would suggest if this. i mean, i would suggest if parents up parents are willing to mob up and protest outside of school and protest outside of school and take out of school, and take kids out of school, etc, i mean, goodness only knows what to these what they're saying to these kids their homes. what they're saying to these kids thinkir homes. what they're saying to these kids think probably mes. they're >> i think probably what they're saying own saying to kids in their own homes the news, look homes is look at the news, look what's happening gaza. do what's happening in gaza. how do you make you feel? you how does that make you feel? the year old question the eight year old in question has who have died gaza has family who have died in gaza . mum, his mum is . i think his mum, his mum is palestinian and has family. palestinian and she has family. she's family in the she's lost family in the conflict and i think to compare this to the scenes of the batley to any sort of religious look at that mob, it's not them at all. it's a response to the scenes. >> the school had to close early. >> amy, this it's a little boy who wore a palestine badge. >> his parents put the badge on him. let's be clear. what does that kid know about israel? >> gaza. >> gaza. >> has family in gaza. >> gaza. >> thatas family in gaza. >> gaza. >> that little nily in gaza. >> gaza. >> that little boyin gaza. >> gaza. >> that little boy .i gaza. >> gaza. >> that little boy . so |za. >> gaza. >> that little boy . so of. >> gaza. >> that little boy . so of course >> that little boy. so of course he would. he's well within his

rights to wear a little badge and this school and the thing is, this school has a 70 to 80% muslim. um the kids that attend our muslim centre, 80. and the school has previous . so in 2015, they were previous. so in 2015, they were found to ban children from from fasting during ramadan. and the school got into a load of trouble. then with the parents. this has been a long running thing with this school that the muslim do are happy thing with this school that the muslthe do are happy thing with this school that the muslthe way do are happy thing with this school that the muslthe way thatio are happy thing with this school that the muslthe way that they; happy thing with this school that the muslthe way that they believe ppy with the way that they believe in mob rule, mob rule. patrick. >> this is a mob turned up in the shop. that's mob rule. >> i think this is a frustrated community who are unhappy with what's happening at the school, because they highlighted the reaction reaction of the reaction of the reaction of the school to the just let me finish my point , the reaction of the my point, the reaction of the school to the conflict in gaza has been completely different to the reaction of the school to the reaction of the school to the ukraine, when the situation in ukraine, when the situation in ukraine, when the proudly said that the school proudly said that they the well was utterly they that the well was utterly transformed by the politics of the times. so then they wanted to embrace politics. the times. so then they wanted to (interesting.itics. the times. so then they wanted to (interesting as:s. the times. so then they wanted to (interesting as well, >> interesting as well, though the people from a the reaction of people from a certain what's

certain community to what's been happening in ukraine as well. they ceasefire. don't they want a ceasefire. don't they? of a they? in gaza, no talk of a ceasefire ukraine because ceasefire in ukraine because they greatly affect your ceasefire in ukraine because they on greatly affect your ceasefire in ukraine because they on that. itly affect your ceasefire in ukraine because they on that. howffect your views on that. how >> here's the point. firstly, both communities are suffering, both communities are suffering, both muslim both the jewish and the muslim community, in particular community, and in particular this school community. the school well within their school were well within their rights, my opinion, say , rights, in my opinion, to say, look, the flags look, let's not do the flags because it has to because look what it has led to look has led to and what look at. it has led to and what the school was probably trying to do separate. very to do was separate. its very young children from any politics at are they remembering at all. why are they remembering about remembering that that about the remembering that that school will probably have much school will probably have a much better that was better idea that this was a potential outcome, because they live in that community, they work community, then, work in that community, then, then people work in that community, then, then have people work in that community, then, then have done people work in that community, then, then have done pe0|and would have done as well. and what's say, what's important to say, an external safeguarding organisation has said that the school, um , there's no there's school, um, there's no there's no to these concerns no validity to these concerns here. but what's really important is a guy on tiktok has been able to mobilise a mob, and we are all right with that. that's the thing. now we as a nafion that's the thing. now we as a nation have to start to say, actually , this is this enough is actually, this is this enough is enough. actually, this is this enough is enough . the first question, the enough. the first question, the first question i would ask right

, are the police involved? and is this a hate crime? well, here we go. >> so i've got a statement. i'll get some reaction to you now from the department of education. they've said intimidation of teachers and staff . we staff is unacceptable. and we are berkeley are working with berkeley primary to support them primary school to support them dunng primary school to support them during heightened during periods of heightened community we support community tensions. we support schools to ensure schools to take steps to ensure they remain calm supportive. they remain calm and supportive. learning where all learning environments where all pupils feel safe. there is no evidence to support any allegations of bullying or misconduct has been found through either an external or internal investigation. that's the comment as well from berkeley. >> one last thing to say, one last thing to say. this action is designed to bully. if you're a teacher anywhere in this country and a child asks you something along these lines, you're going to have to say something extremely pro—palestinian or nothing at all, because you wouldn't want this to happen to your school. it's right. this to happen to your school. it'syou'rejht. this to happen to your school. it'syou're more outraged by this >> you're more outraged by this story than scenes coming story than the scenes coming out of that's problem. of gaza. that's my problem. >> outraged by fact that >> i'm outraged by the fact that people i don't want, i don't no, no, no, amy, let me speak.

>> you've had plenty to say. i'm outraged at the fact that kids should school, should be going to school, learning and having fun, not being with political being plied with political propaganda, be it palestine flags , israeli flags, other flags, israeli flags, any other flags, israeli flags, any other flags ? i don't care what child. flags? i don't care what child. amy, answer me this. what child can form an original individual? informed opinion on geopolitics. thank really underplay thank you. really underplay children's abilities and agency because of course they're going to have opinions of what they see the news. when see on the news. yeah. when they're being they're when they're being forced fine. forced. fine. >> the important >> but here's the important thing would react thing as well. i would react exactly way if it was exactly the same way if it was a jewish flag. israeli flag, same as yeah, this about as me. yeah, this isn't about the politics. this is about the gop politics. this is about the gop politics. this is about the safety of people in this. >> but what about the precedent? what for what about the precedent for this, when someone this, ben? now, so when someone is offended or when, you know, elements of the palestinian community are offended, or elements of the british muslim community say , community are offended, say, well, what happens now? we get a mob up outside of school mob turning up outside of school with the school mob turning up outside of school with down. the school shuts down. >> outrageous. >> yeah, this is outrageous. the facts facts that other facts that the facts that other children have now had their their short their education cut short because parents can't behave themselves and conduct

themselves and conduct themselves in an orderly manner. there's at that school, there's bullies at that school, but not the children, it's but it's not the children, it's those parents. >> not being >> this is not them being offended. and this is tens of thousands people but thousands of people dying, but not that's not the issue. not in that's not the issue. >> it's not the school. no >> it's not the school. no >> this is people >> and this is this is people who people about who people who care about hundreds thousands of people hundreds of thousands of people dying, to prevent. >> that's ridiculous. you have noidea >> that's ridiculous. you have no idea how those teachers feel. there's a very big chance that those teachers are actually pro—palestinian . that tends to pro—palestinian. that tends to be the thing you find amongst education people. they're quite lefty that way, but it lefty and lean that way, but it doesn't matter. i've just provided teachers those teachers, they've been i've teachers, and they've been i've just provided you with evidence that this school has previous in this area. >> so i have listened to the testimony the parent with the testimony of the parent with the son involved, and he has said that people have been increasingly unhappy the that people have been increthey've unhappy the that people have been increthey've beenppy the that people have been increthey've been treated the that people have been increthey've been treated ,the way they've been treated, teachers being bullied . you're teachers being bullied. you're not listening. they referred the parents to no, no no no no no no no no no.

sunday mornings from 930 on gb news news . welcome back. news news. welcome back. >> now i just want to start by quickly updating you on the shocking events that unfolded a little earlier the czech little earlier on in the czech capital where capital of prague, where a gunman opened fire, killing at least people charles least 15 people at charles university before, it's believed killing himself . i think he also killing himself. i think he also killed his father as well. before that, there were scenes of chaos across the city. you

university staff told to barricade themselves into rooms dunng . barricade themselves into rooms during . police have during the attack. police have this confirmed that they this evening confirmed that they are working on the theory that the been the gunman may have been responsible for the of responsible for the deaths of two people last week as well. in a near prague a little a forest near prague a little earlier on, i spoke to three eyewitnesses joe, harry and sam, british lads who were caught up in this madness. >> you hear the police sirens and then you hear the people screaming, the people running. and it was frightening. and we are obviously in a place that we don't know where we are . it's don't know where we are. it's our first holiday without any , our first holiday without any, any parental figure or anything like that . um, and we don't know like that. um, and we don't know what to do. we live in cornwall, which is a, a very like non—dangerous location , so we're non—dangerous location, so we're not even used to anything of the sort. and so we just turned to the tube and ran for it. and then obviously you don't know if then obviously you don't know if the tube is the best place or the tube is the best place or the worst place to go, because at that time, we don't know how

many killers there are. if there's multiple people going around and like it could be the best or worst place . so we just best or worst place. so we just jumped on the first one when the opposite way to our hotel and just to get outside as just to get outside the city as quick . quick as possible. >> well look closer to >> okay. well look closer to home. rishi sunak last night vowed to fight the irish government after they announced their decision to take legal action against a british law that immunity to that gives legal immunity to british soldiers accused of troubles. era crimes. but in a shocking twist , it since emerged shocking twist, it since emerged that us president sleepy joe biden personally gave the irish prime minister, leo varadkar , prime minister, leo varadkar, the green light to pursue this rare legal challenge. well i don't know about you, but i find this incredibly offensive. i'm joined now by former margaret thatcher aide nigel gardiner. now much. now thank you very, very much. it's biden's special relationship now with dublin and not us. is this absolutely offensive ? i mean, who's offensive? i mean, who's advising this guy ? advising this guy? >> many for >> patrick, many thanks for having today . and having on the show today. and joe biden's actions are absolutely outrageous. it's an appalling intervention directly

against british national interests here. >> and i think that joe biden is incredibly rude . he's out of incredibly rude. he's out of order. he has no right whatsoever to be lecturing the british government. he has no right to be interfering in british affairs here. and i do think this is hugely insulting to british people , hugely to the british people, hugely insulting to those brave british servicemen who fought in northern ireland and joe biden really, i think, has to be put back in his box. he needs to back in his box. he needs to back off. he has become the useful idiot of the irish government , and he useful idiot of the irish government, and he in no way represents the views of the vast majority of the american people who are pro—british. they love britain and joe biden's most anti—british president of the modern era. >> so to be clear , joe biden, >> so to be clear, joe biden, the president of the united states, has told the irish taoiseach that he can take britain to court the echr to try to get british veterans hauled before courts on things like murder charges. that is nuts .

murder charges. that is nuts. >> yeah, absolutely. it's an absolute disgrace. i think it's hugely offensive , frankly, to hugely offensive, frankly, to british servicemen who served very bravely and also, of course, joe biden is invoking european supranational courts. echr uh, the british people need to be freed from the shackles completely or the echr the british government has to take the uk out of the european court and for joe the uk out of the european court and forjoe biden to be calling on the authority of european courts over britain that is an absolute disgrace . what an absolute disgrace. what an insult. actually, he has no right to do so. he should just mind his own, his own business. and there's no wonder why biden is such a hugely unpopular president in america. >> you know what this is, right? this is guy who didn't get his this is a guy who didn't get his way it came to brexit. joe way when it came to brexit. joe biden. he was saying that brexit would return to the would see a return to the troubles. and it has then and i just wonder if he's trying to stoke now. yeah. and stoke it up here now. yeah. and whether it, whether that's part of it, i think that's an important part

of it. >> joe biden hates brexit. he is a huge supporter of the european union. he is somebody who has no respect whatsoever for the democratic will of the british people, for the sovereignty of the british people who chose to throw off the shackles of the european union for a us president to be intervening like this, i think, is really is unprecedented. it's out of order. i think it demonstrates a president who , frankly, is out president who, frankly, is out of his mind . and joe biden of his mind. and joe biden really needs to mind his own business. back off and respect the will of the british people . the will of the british people. >> so what does rishi sunak need to do? because like i say, a couple things happening now couple of things happening now for those people are for all of those people who are on about echr , if on the fence about the echr, if all sudden stick some all of a sudden we stick to some kind that means that kind of ruling that means that british who are now british veterans who are now possibly quite elderly, by the way , are flown over to the way, are flown over to the island of ireland to face charges that from years ago that they may have already been found innocent case of innocent of. in the case of dennis that happened .

dennis hutchins, that happened. we've got to get out the echr . we've got to get out the echr. >> yeah, absolutely. british veterans are heroes and they have fought for their country very, very bravely . uh, the very, very bravely. uh, the british government needs to take the uk out completely from the echn the uk out completely from the echr. no european court should have any say over british law. also so rishi sunak needs to stand up to joe biden and tell joe biden this is none of his business. we need the british prime minister to stand up to the worst. us president, frankly, of the modern era, the most anti british president at. and rishi sunak really needs to demonstrate great strength and resolve because this is bullying by biden . it's unacceptable. the by biden. it's unacceptable. the british prime minister has to stand up to that bullying by biden or whoever is looking after him anyway. >> now >> that's for sure. and now thank you, my pleasure. thanks very much, john gardner. there for margaret for former aide to margaret thatcher. look, coming up very soon, it's emerged that gangs up and down the country have made millions posing as pudsey bears for children in need. so can we

really trust people who claim to work especially work for charities, especially at first, at this time of year? but first, tomorrow's papers . well, they're tomorrow's papers. well, they're flying panel experts flying in. my panel of experts will through the will help me chew through the headunesin will help me chew through the headlines in the liveliest paper review. you will get anywhere on telly, way ahead telly, so you'll be way ahead of the . the game. don't miss it. brilliant. thank you mate. lovely really really

and of proof and evidence and years of proof and evidence that the tories don't care about controlling migration. all sunak that the tories don't care about contdoing| migration. all sunak that the tories don't care about contdoing with ration. all sunak that the tories don't care about contdoing with this n. all sunak that the tories don't care about contdoing with this ,. all sunak that the tories don't care about contdoing with this , inll sunak that the tories don't care about contdoing with this , in manak was doing with this, in my opinion, was just throwing the tory right of red meat to tory right a bit of red meat to keep them occupied couple keep them occupied for a couple of now it comes to of weeks. and now it comes to the and rowing back the crunch and he's rowing back on tories really on it. um, if the tories really cared migration , they'd cared about migration, they'd pretty the borders pretty much closed the borders and reduced net migration to the tens they've tens of thousands, as they've promised for years and promised to do for years and years and years. but as said, years and years. but as i said, they do not care. okay so it was £18,600, which is, is, you know, not a huge amount of money if you want to come and live and work in a country and maybe benefit that country with the amount that you're amount of taxation that you're going pay. going to pay. >> so where >> so that's where we're at in the said were the minute. they said they were going that £38,700, going to hike that to £38,700, right. that was three weeks right. and that was three weeks ago. and now they've already rowed back to 29 grand. sean, your views on this look far be it for me to defend the government, but a rise from 18 to 29 is still a significant jump. >> i think there's two things here. part of is about about communication. they should have bottomed it out before they said

anything at all. and so they wouldn't be in a position for people to accuse them of a rollback. and i still think they're forward. but the they're moving forward. but the larger just how many larger thing is just how many people do we letting we control the can do things the rules and we can do things around. are you allowed to bring dependents not? we can dependents or you're not? we can we put cap all these we can put a cap in all these tinkering around edges . it tinkering around the edges. it doesn't it's having doesn't feel like it's having any effect. we just need to fundamentally change the rules. and the first deal with and the first thing deal with the backlog. >> can't be trusted. >> they can't be trusted. surely. talk surely. amy i mean, they talk a good stop the boats. we'll good game. stop the boats. we'll do it can. we'll leave do whatever it can. we'll leave nothing off the table . and then nothing off the table. and then you a tweet in a statement you slip a tweet in a statement out i think it was about out about, i think it was about 8 pm. today. i saw it anyway, it that you're it basically shows that you're rowing on a measure rowing back on, on a measure that reduce that you said could reduce immigration by 300,000, which, by way, still leave it by the way, would still leave it at about 400,000 a year. at about net 400,000 a year. >> but i hate this. from the start, sat here and moaned start, i've sat here and moaned about way through, so about it all the way through, so i think this is it makes sense, doesn't ? how could you doesn't it? how could you possibly say, oh, you can come here and work for us, but you can't girlfriend or can't bring your girlfriend or your kids. was

your wife or your kids. that was awful. horrible policy. awful. that's horrible policy. so of course it could never go through. >> well, australia do that. >> well, australia do that. >> does that. oh why why, why , why can all that. oinationshy, why , why can all that. oinations acrossy , why can all that. oinations across the 'hy can all that. oinations across the globe| all other nations across the globe protect their borders properly and behave like normal countries 7 and behave like normal countries ? but can't. and behave like normal countries ? bwhy can't. and behave like normal countries ? bwhy are n't. and behave like normal countries ? bwhy are you so frightened of >> why are you so frightened of people here to contribute? >> i'm not frightened. there's just too many people. i don't care if they're white americans. i damn. there's i couldn't give a damn. there's no . there's no amy, no room. there's no room. amy, where are they going? there is. >> like, 400,000 >> there's like, 400,000 vacancies need filling. >> that's not. but, amy, this is the it? nhs for the problem, isn't it? nhs for laboun the problem, isn't it? nhs for labour, the nhs had 300,000 vacancies. they let in 300,000 people to fill those vacancies. and we still have 300,000 vacancies. the point where vacancies. the point is where are people going? this are those people going? this country some country will always need some immigration, but we must have control of that immigration. >> important. would you not >> also important. would you not agree needs be agree that it needs to be ethical as well? those people ethical as well? so those people are surely to bring are entitled? surely to bring their are entitled? surely to bring the nobody's entitled . yeah. no, >> nobody's entitled. yeah. no, that's the point. there is no entitled entitled at the behest of would you would you go of who would you would you go work not work in another country and not take have, take your wives? i would have, when i was younger, when i was

do, it will to be get absolutely slaughtered. but i'll completely regret it the next day. but in terms of this specific story, patrick, um, i think, uh, the government may as well decriminalise cocaine here because everyone's doing it. i don't care who you speak to. you go and speak to doctors, you speak to lawyers, you speak to teachers who take all teachers who all take who all take teachers who all take who all takylet's be clear. >> let's be clear. >> do it. >> they all do it. >> they all do it. >> cocaine is >> decriminalise cocaine is murder. trace the line murder. yeah. you trace the line of how that cocaine gets up your nose, and you'll find many, many criminal find criminal offences. you'll find many people being murdered. you'll find many communities utterly destroyed. just so, a few bankers here or in switzerland can have a little sniff out of order. you know what i remember when i for what i remember when i ran for mayor we mayor and i suggested that we test bankers insurance test bankers and insurance people way we test people in the same way we test fork drivers . fork drive forklift drivers. people out . what you're people freaked out. what you're seeing here is, is , is middle seeing here is, is, is middle class action, middle class power in action. now that they all fancy sniffing coke, now that it's losing some of its social faux pas to, well, let's

legalise it kills people. >> well, guys, do you not think that people are going to be doing so doing it anyway regardless? so the well the government may as well listen to me. may as well get the money from and fill the tax money from it and fill their they well their coffers. they may as well educate dangers of educate people on the dangers of drugs and additionally provide apparatus and finances to test drugs as well. because most most drugs as well. because most most drug deaths in this country come from people taking dodgy pills , from people taking dodgy pills, which aren't. you aren't what they thought meant to be. they thought it was meant to be. >> so all of what you said is utter that used utter nonsense that people used to god, let's be, to justify, oh my god, let's be, let's be very, very clear . if let's be very, very clear. if you legalise the drugs, you kill people in communities like mine. that's a fact. all right. >> amy, amy, amy, amy. >> amy, amy, amy, amy, amy. >> amy, amy, amy, amy, amy. >> not a fact. >> absolutely not a fact. what kills in certain kills people in certain communities the illegality of communities is the illegality of drugs. just drugs. drugs. simply not just drugs. deaths from a lack of deaths come from a lack of purity in the drugs. >> most drugs to come from knife crime. ask you this , crime. like, i'll ask you this, the illegality. anybody here? >> just be fair, is it not? >> just to be fair, is it not? >> just to be fair, is it not? >> any. anybody here who >> point any. anybody here who thinks the drug dealing cartels of the world are going to give up activities just up their illegal activities just because want to sniff bit

peer lord bailey, and author and broadcaster amy nicole turner. so seven fraudsters who posed as pudsey bears during a charity scam worth half £1 million have been jailed. leader of the scam, david levy, will spend five years in prison for fraud and money laundering after his gang used well—known charities like children in need and great ormond street as fronts for their crimes. when asked why the money came from, he claimed that he inherited £100,000 from he had inherited £100,000 from his father, but he was actually frittering away the donation on luxury holidays business luxury holidays, business class flights and fast cars. sean scum of the earth. >> absolutely . when i read this >> absolutely. when i read this story, i just thought the sheer cheek of it. he's literally taking money away from sick children . it's such a liberty. children. it's such a liberty. and of course , the real losers and of course, the real losers of this are the legitimate charity. because if you think hold on, is that is that a real charity? don't to take charity? i don't want to take the risk. then don't. the risk. then you don't. so i think if this continues collecting funds street collecting funds on the street will thing the past. will become a thing of the past. of course, the other real worry

is small charities, because a big charity around big charity can get around that, you appeals online, you know, big appeals online, etc, etc. events. but if etc, etc. big events. but if you're a small charity , what you're a small charity, what else can you do that is just so low? >> isn't it? so low? literally? i mean, not that it would ever be good to defraud from any charity whatsoever, but you know, children in need, great ormond street . amy, your views ormond street. amy, your views on that. are pulling a face? on that. are you pulling a face? >> i am, i like like like you grotty. >> this is hurt you this thing i've heard i mean it's nearly christmas. >> we can't. this is awful . >> we can't. this is awful. yeah, it doesn't make me feel festive . um, no, but i do. i do festive. um, no, but i do. i do think it's important to point out that most charities are legitimate. we don't want people to pay too much attention to this and worry every this and worry about every single they see in single person that they see in the street. >> absolutely. lock them up and throw the throw away the key. >> these certainly. >> ben. these guys certainly. yeah. , scum of yeah. absolute scumbags, scum of the but it's important to the earth. but it's important to point that , i the earth. but it's important to point that, i mean, the earth. but it's important to point that , i mean, these point out that, i mean, these guys weren't an actual charity, were they? no. pretending to be a charity. >> blokes in a onesie in a pudsey suit. >> so bunch of scumbags. yes. however, another topic is
