horrendous doing . horrendous thing to be doing. but, think they could but, um, i think they could start with letting charles see his grandchildren. so just his grandchildren. so we just found been to costa found out they'd been to costa rica for their christmas holiday. charles hasn't seen his grandchildren in god knows how long. apparently, he's very hurt about and they sort of use about it. and they sort of use the children as a sort of tool to say we need more security . we to say we need more security. we can't come to england. we can't come back to england. we can't come back to england. we can't children can't let you see your children because have enough because we don't have enough security, you don't security, because you don't treat nicely enough. so i treat us nicely enough. so i think they need stop that think they need to stop that act. really? >> okay, your views. you >> okay, mike, your views. you know, i've been bit know, maybe i've been a bit harsh know, harsh there. maybe. you know, all just being all of this is just being whipped actually, they whipped up. and actually, they are nice people. yeah are quite nice people. yeah >> i mean, it's christmas. it's time forgiveness . it's time time for forgiveness. it's time for reconnecting families . for reconnecting to families. and there a couple that's and there are a couple that's easy hate . so let's look at easy to hate. so let's look at you said what do they need to do if they if it's about redemption? they in between all of headlines, in between all of the headlines, you know has done some you know harry has done some amazing within amazing things with within invictus. he's done some amazing things with archewell things with the archewell foundation. in living memory foundation. he in living memory is the royal that has spent more

time on frontline military duty than any other royal. so it's there are reasons to respect them and feel positive towards them. i think if they focus on what they can do, that's good and fix the family thing . you and fix the family thing. you know, it's christmas. let's move on from that. he's told his story . he, uh, he's had sympathy story. he, uh, he's had sympathy . people are fed up with it. but if he can focus on what they can do that's positive in america, in england, reconnecting with family, think people will family, i think people will forgive him. people are willing to if you stop to forgive if you stop whingeing. >> yeah . i just wonder, john, if >> yeah. i just wonder, john, if they're just too toxic now. >> they have delusions of >> well, they have delusions of grandeur and it's very difficult unless you're a psychiatrist working with them on a daily bafis working with them on a daily basis to say you've got to get real and it's hurry on down. >> there's no oh, can we now redo the whole thing again? and we then have the wedding again, or we want marvellous . and the or we want marvellous. and the pubuc or we want marvellous. and the public will love us and it'll all be resolved. no, i'm afraid it's not going to resolve itself. and there's nothing much they do . but what they've

they can do. but what they've got try do is to say, got to try and do is to say, look, real people eating look, we're real people eating a normal life. we're not a politician or a top businessman or a top athlete saying these are my goals for the next year. they're not in that game. they shouldn't even try to be in that game . they should just up game. they should just shut up and with their ordinary lives. >> when he about >> when he talks about redemption, surely the family is the thing that has to come first. charlotte and i just don't see that happening. i think it's the and think it's the family, and i think it's the family, and i think way to ingratiate think the only way to ingratiate herself again, and herself in the family again, and with and with the with the nation and with the world, full mea culpa. world, is a full mea culpa. >> that's just never going >> and that's just never going to you imagine that apology? >> see, for would be an >> see, for you, it would be an apology or nothing. >> i think it's the >> i think. i think it's the only thing that will only thing that that that will work. yeah. and i just really don't see that happening. the other she do stop other thing she could do is stop being a being so hypocritical. all so a lot this year has been about lot of this year has been about victimhood, you well we're victimhood, you know. well we're in speed chase in a high speed car chase harry's book. you know, said in a high speed car chase harry' 100 3k. you know, said in a high speed car chase harry'1003k. yotthat�*w, said in a high speed car chase harry'1003k. yotthat meghanid in a high speed car chase harry'1003k. yotthat meghan fell about 100 times that meghan fell on the floor and fit of tears. and problem just and the problem is, we just don't believe because don't believe that because we know is this, like, ultra know meghan is this, like, ultra powerful, going, go

powerful, forward going, go getter . i can't really powerful, forward going, go getter. i can't really imagine her collapsing in a fit tears her collapsing in a fit of tears on the because she didn't on the floor because she didn't get hot enough , so get her coffee hot enough, so she to own it and she just needs to own it and just stop just be meghan markle. stop pretending she doesn't like freebies and carpets and freebies and red carpets and glitzy awards dos. she loves it all. she just needs to be herself kind out there herself. kind of go out there and own hollywood if she wants to back in with the to get herself back in with the americans, really if americans, i can't really see if that go down too well over americans, i can't really see if that in go down too well over americans, i can't really see if that in the» down too well over americans, i can't really see if that in the» dovyou>o well over americans, i can't really see if that in the» dovyou know,. over americans, i can't really see if that in the» dovyou know, your here in the uk, you know, you you know, quite a bit you did, you know, quite a bit with the brexit party or one of the why that cause was the reasons why that cause was so popular was because you chimed what the public chimed in with what the public actually that people actually wanted, but that people were afraid to talk about. were too afraid to talk about. >> i feel like this is the opposite. they're not afraid to talk everybody talk about stuff that everybody flippin hates. you know, when it comes misery, is me comes to the misery, woe is me cry harder from your £18 million montecito mansion or whatever it well and think, you know, with well and i think, you know, with brexit, people people brexit, it people believe people who supported brexit believed in it. >> in it, it.- >> in it, in it. >> in it, in with it.— >> in it, in with a it. >> in it, in with a passion . it >> in it, in with a passion. it was easy to make that demonise in the media and then warped into something it wasn't around

racism or that. so i can see how the negative can easily be built upon as a foundation . uh, to me, upon as a foundation. uh, to me, what i do know is people aren't interested in your problems . interested in your problems. people want to see. so what what are you going to do about it? what's the positive? and you know, people will say to you, how are you doing? most of the time they really care. time they don't really care. they want you say, fine, they just want you to say, fine, thank you. and the more you wallow problems , actually, wallow in problems, actually, the distance the more people distance themself. to focus on themself. they need to focus on what positively now what they can positively do. now he wrote his book, 'spare' he his his fifth in line to his spare his fifth in line to the so not going to the throne. so he's not going to be a royal of any importance going be a royal of any importance goiireally have had great life >> really have had a great life by yeah. you know, by the way. yeah. you know, i get know, pressures get that, you know, pressures and terrible thing and stress is a terrible thing to it came to to happen. when it came to diana, all that goes diana, obviously all that goes without saying, but you know, this guy, like you're saying 50 lines throne or whatever lines to the throne or whatever he and he could have. let's he was and he could have. let's be would never have be honest, he would never have wanted his life. wanted for anything in his life. you'd milton keynes you'd turn up to milton keynes and ribbon on something and cut a ribbon on something every now and again, and that would great. he had would have been great. he had his games. did you live his invictus games. did you live

fitness level or fitness test, but that should be based on the role you're doing. >> and not every police officer is out running around. there needs physically fit to is out running around. there ne> no they can't. but i think if you're going to be operational, um, i know would um, most officers i know would keep a level of fitness that would them above that. would take them way above that. anyway, basically anyway, it's basically just a check when you first check test when you first turn up run between two

up that you can run between two points up to about 3.7, or is it currently is 5.4. some forces want to keep it at 5.4, so they've almost like decided themselves that albeit the level has now been lowered to 3.7, they still want to increase the level fitness officers, level of fitness for officers, which but which is fine, but being physically fit isn't a requirement every single requirement for every single officer. you need a lot more mental ability or mental mental astuteness than actual physical fitness. running from a point a to b doesn't mean when you to point b doesn't mean when you get there you know what to do and what to do with a person. you of. you then got hold of. >> i understand it though, >> as i understand it though, they'd things like they'd already done things like roam on strength roam back on strength tests, etc. there feeling like etc. is there not a feeling like we're reducing ourselves to we're just reducing ourselves to the lowest common denominator here? i think there's been across the board . across the board. >> um, i think when you look at recruitment of police officers over the last few years , i think over the last few years, i think across society and maybe across society , in a wider portion, society, in a wider portion, there's a general lowering of fitness levels for some. and policing has to go with society so people aren't as physically fit or as physically quick as

they used to be, because as the generation that we're attracting now spends a lot of time on on computer games sitting doors computer games sitting in doors not actually doing a lot of physical fitness, that's not everybody. what everybody. but i think what percentage of i've got a 22 year old or so and he's only just recently started doing any sort of fitness all. of physical fitness at all. so i think there's generation that think there's a generation that spent much indoors, spent so much time indoors, they're physically they're not actually physically capable to of the capable to do a lot of the demands of physical training, but a wide and but policing such a wide and diverse occupation, you don't need able to run from need to be able to run from point a to point b for three minutes and then do something you so other you can. there's so many other roles policing that it's more roles in policing that it's more mentally physical mentally agility than physical ability. mentally agility than physical abiiokay. graham. look, thank >> okay. graham. look, thank you very, much for your expert very, very much for your expert insider analysis there. that is graham a retired graham wetton who's a retired policeman, to be a policeman, author of how to be a police . i'm going to police officer. i'm going to reignite panel this. john, reignite my panel on this. john, you more outraged you are a lot more outraged about uh oh, graham there. >> no, i'm i'm sort of outraged , >> no, i'm i'm sort of outraged, but also saddened because what it means is, is certainly at my age, i remember the idea that there were police on the beat when we were kids. we would come to london and were told by

to london and we were told by our now if you lost our parents, now if you get lost , and you'd , ask a policeman and you'd expect to see a policeman there who then where who you could. then ask, where are are doing are we? where? what are we doing 7 are we? where? what are we doing ? you couldn't conceivably see a policeman. what you see is a policeman. what you see is a police car roaring past with a blue light flashing . and this blue light flashing. and this story, may seem , in a way, story, which may seem, in a way, not terribly important . it is not terribly important. it is very a sign of our times, very much a sign of our times, isn't all very well for isn't it? it's all very well for the retired policeman to say, oh , there are lots of jobs where you don't to be fit, but at you don't need to be fit, but at least but don't least you could say, but don't worry, are lots of people worry, there are lots of people in police force are very in the police force who are very fit. the answer is no, fit. and if the answer is oh no, they're like me are they're not. people like me are thinking, oh for goodness sake, they should trained. they they should be trained. they should go beat more and should go on the beat more and they should be physically fit so that races past them, that if someone races past them, they chase after them. if they can chase after them. if these people aren't there or saying it's when saying no, it's because when i was younger, i was doing computer games and i'd just like sitting car . you computer games and i'd just like sitting car. you think, sitting in a car. you think, well, sorry, you shouldn't well, i'm sorry, you shouldn't be the police force. i'm be in the police force. i'm sorry. no, indeed. >> i we some >> i mean, we have some obviously, shows, obviously, horror shows, the stories couple of stories that broke a couple of years police recruits ,

crick as well, journalist extraordinaire, will be going head to head on this in a lively debate . don't miss out

isabel monday to thursdays from. six till 930. >> welcome back. it's time now for our head to head . well for our head to head. well leader of the opposition sir keir starmer has been in estonia this week and he donned military clobber as he met british troops at a nato base. now his choice of attire prompted a mixed

reaction, with some commentators saying it was ludicrous for a politician to wear military clothing. not that it would be the first one, of course . here the first one, of course. here to discuss this, i am joined in the studio by the broadcaster and journalist michael crick, and journalist michael crick, and down the line we have got ross , who wrote about this ross clark, who wrote about this for the telegraph this week. good evening, for the telegraph this week. good evening , gentlemen. for the telegraph this week. good evening, gentlemen. thank you me. you very much for joining me. look, ross, start with you look, ross, i'll start with you because teed look, ross, i'll start with you become teed look, ross, i'll start with you becon it. teed look, ross, i'll start with you becon it. you teed look, ross, i'll start with you becon it. you think teed look, ross, i'll start with you becon it. you think it's teed look, ross, i'll start with you becon it. you think it's a teed off on it. you think it's a disgrace? do you? >> i think, well, i mean, let's be honest . be honest. >> as you, as you, as you just said, not the only said, he's not the only politician appeared politician who's appeared in military garb . military garb. >> johnson, liz truss. and >> boris johnson, liz truss. and so on done it. but you so on have done it. but you think know what is the think you know what is the point? they doing it? point? why are they doing it? i mean, to hospitals, they mean, they go to hospitals, they don't they don't dress up as nurses. they go to a factories, they have to put on an hrv vest. but they don't dress up in boiler suits and sort of impersonate the people. they're visiting. but why do they feel they've got to do it when they go and see military? i mean, are they sort of to some sort of of trying to fulfil some sort of childhood ambition to be a

soldier or something ? um, but i soldier or something? um, but i think there's a very serious point in that. um, you know, there's one the photo shoot is one thing, but keir starmer actually gave an interview dressed in this, um, military flak jacket or whatever it was. um on a subject of international importance, he was talking about calling for a ceasefire in, um, in, um, in, in gaza. and, you know , it's not appropriate for know, it's not appropriate for a british politician to make that sort of, kind of interview. why wearing military garb? i mean, you'd think , you know, he's you'd think, you know, he's trying to give the impression that he's of idi amin. he's sort of had a military coup. and he's now in charge. he's thrown rishi out of power or something . it's out of power or something. it's sort all right. okay, okay, okay. >> uh, i'll bring, uh, mike into this. i mean, it was only the other day. keir starmer said i wouldn't be afraid to press the big red nuclear button if it was peter. i mean, does guy peter. i mean, does this guy think he is? >> well, mean, it . >> well, i mean, it. >> well, i mean, it. >> i mean, this is a trivial issue, but also

issue, really, but it is also a very, very serious issue. >> the trivia is about whether he wears military garb or not. and as ross and you have both said, loads of politicians have done nearly always they're done it nearly always they're politicians power, defence politicians in power, defence secretaries, foreign secretaries, foreign secretaries, ministers secretaries, prime ministers presidents and so maybe he's presidents and so on. maybe he's jumped gun here, but jumped the gun a bit here, but what he's really trying to say is that labour are serious about security and defence and membership of nato and looking after ukraine and continuing that, because we've got all these elections next year and these elections next year and the biggest election of all is in the united states , and we've in the united states, and we've got the prospect of that absolutely mad monster trump coming into power and withdrawing from nato or severely weakening nato and, uh, going back on america's commitment to the ukraine. and those would be two extremely serious issues , more serious, serious issues, more serious, really, than anything else in either election campaign here or in the united states . in the united states. >> okay, ross, he was just trying to show that he's a prime minister in waiting and he should be taken very, very

seriously . seriously. >> well , i'm seriously. >> well, i'm sure that's what he was trying to do . um, you know, was trying to do. um, you know, the thing is that he knows and we all know that military defence is traditionally quite a weak spot for the labour party. and remember, don't forget that last election, 2019, keir starmer was there supporting jeremy corbyn, a candidate who certainly wouldn't be pressing the nuclear button , who would, the nuclear button, who would, um, have run down, uh, british forces would not have been able to bring himself to put, um, british forces into action, possibly anywhere . and i think, possibly anywhere. and i think, you know, keir starmer is trying to sort of wind that down and say, you know, no labour is behind the military, but, you know, i think you've got to look at the optics of this when you're giving interviews, which are going to go around the world and, you know, britain is not a militaristic country . we're not militaristic country. we're not a we don't have a military junta in power. we have a civilian government. and, you know, you showed that photograph of mrs.

thatcher just now, um, driving thatcherjust now, um, driving the tank . okay. it was a photo the tank. okay. it was a photo shoot, but she was not in military she was a rather military gear. she was a rather fetching sort of and fetching sort of outfit and headscarf and so on. you know, she was saying she prime she was saying she is the prime minister. sort of minister. she's not sort of trying impersonate a squaddie trying to impersonate a squaddie . and i think that's what keir starmer , keir starmer was doing . starmer, keir starmer was doing. >> well, you know, i've had a couple of people here emailing in views com saying in gb views gb news. com saying maybe just a bit cold. maybe he was just a bit cold. yeah though, you yeah to be fair though, you know, your way to know, you're on your way to a estonia. you know what the weather's like there. no, he has got hasn't he. because got a problem hasn't he. because it's and good it's all very well and good talking, bertie. balls at talking, bertie. big balls at the saying i'll press the moment and saying i'll press that on that big red button. oh, i'm on the side of the military. but he did get jeremy corbyn did try and get jeremy corbyn elected. but twice. did try and get jeremy corbyn elec we but twice. did try and get jeremy corbyn elec we know but twice. did try and get jeremy corbyn elec we know howt twice. did try and get jeremy corbyn elec we know how he 'ice. did try and get jeremy corbyn elec we know how he feels and we all know how he feels about nukes. and frankly, britain's argue britain's army. i would argue maybe general . maybe britain in general. >> yeah, i would be the last person and all person to defend starmer and all the u—turns he's made on virtually every topic. and you know, he did say that at one point, jeremy corbyn is my friend and now his line is that jeremy corbyn has never his jeremy corbyn has never been his

friend. inconsistency friend. well, some inconsistency there. but labour in power have actually, in fact, labour have only ever come to power if they've shown themselves to be committed to strong defence and seriously patriotic . i mean, you seriously patriotic. i mean, you know, nato was actually founded by ernest bevin and the attlee labour government, along with our allies. after the war, we played a key role in the foundation of nato and over the years, labour, labour governments have been very strong on defence issues. it's when labour gets into opposition that things start to slip and what starmer is clearly trying to do, he's trying to bend over backwards and say, look , i'm a backwards and say, look, i'm a million miles from the corbyn years now. at times he goes over the top . i mean, he started the top. i mean, when he started out press conferences, out doing press conferences, there'd be one union flag next to now he's got either to him. now he's got them either side everybody feels side and everybody else feels obuged side and everybody else feels obliged the same. it does obliged to do the same. it does get a bit at times, but get a bit silly at times, but the point that starmer is trying to here that we are to make here is that we are strong on defence. you don't need to worry about us. and of

course, big issue for course, the other big issue for labour the economy. those are labour is the economy. those are the matter the two big issues that matter and he's also sending a message that are behind that we will we are behind ukraine in the same way. uh in contrast, perhaps , uh, to donald contrast, perhaps, uh, to donald trump, who could easily become the president of the united states and that is really the big fear, i think, for the labour party and all sensible minded people . um, i know that minded people. um, i know that there around here, 1 or 2 supporters of donald trump in gb news, but i certainly not one of them. >> no . fair enough. i mean, it >> no. fair enough. i mean, it was fine, though, wasn't it? under trump, which is a difficult thing maybe for people to reconcile with. mean, to reconcile with. i mean, the world, world end, you world, the world didn't end, you know, everything know, and actually everything was you know, maybe know, and actually everything was man you know, maybe know, and actually everything was man badj know, maybe know, and actually everything was man bad wasn't maybe know, and actually everything was man bad wasn't actually orange man bad wasn't actually as awful as kind of as awful as the kind of shuffling guy that we've got, but clear he's an but he's made it clear he's an admirer of and doesn't admirer of putin, and he doesn't think america's. think much of america's. >> doesn't anything of >> he doesn't think anything of america's efforts to support ukraine. and that i think , is ukraine. and that i think, is very worrying indeed in terms of the future, not just of ukraine but the future of europe. >> he's put he's put a lot of eggsin >> he's put he's put a lot of eggs in the basket of he will

just be able to do a deal with putin and stop it. which putin and stop it. right. which obviously do that, obviously if you can't do that, then trouble, then you're in trouble, i suppose, you? but, um, suppose, aren't you? but, um, uh, over to on uh, final word over to you on this, ross. look, do you think starmer actually would be strong with the military? i mean, again, a tory again, under 13 years of a tory government, fair, the government, to be fair, the military pretty weak at military is pretty weak at the moment. you know, we hear stories every aren't stories every day. aren't you stories every day. aren't you stories about, stories all the time about, you know, accommodate know, poor military accommodate about the state of our navy for example, stuff, example, all of this stuff, maybe get maybe things could only get better labour. better under labour. >> this is the >> yeah, well, this is the problem. michael problem. i mean, michael was saying know, the saying there, you know, the labour governments have tended to um, military . to support, um, the military. but, um, the trouble is, every government of every colour for the past sort of 30, 40 years has found it very easy to trim defence spending , much easier to defence spending, much easier to trim that than schools and hospitals. blair always, you know, schools and hospitals . it know, schools and hospitals. it always was. i mean, he wanted to go to war. he took britain into war in, you know, numerous cases. but um, not not properly equipped. and he'd running down the size of the army. so we

weren't actually capable of, um , weren't actually capable of, um, joining in these things. weren't actually capable of, um, joining in these things . we're joining in these things. we're just talking about trump. just there. i mean, you know , trump there. i mean, you know, trump is an odious figure in many ways , but i think he was absolutely right when he went to the nato summit in brussels in 2018 and said, um , germany is you know, said, um, germany is you know, he lives off the us and their, um , pay out the whole of europe um, pay out the whole of europe is sheltering under the us military. um umbrella. and, you know, if you want nato, if you want the us to , uh, um, defend want the us to, uh, um, defend you, you know, you you reach that 2% gdp target for defence spending. >> all right, both of you, thank you very, very much. michael and ross, they're cracking stuff now. okay. coming up, the governments immigration gaslighting . yesterday gaslighting continues. yesterday we had them rowing back a bit on the salary for people coming over and spouses. well i have just come into some information which i will share with you at 10:00, which appears to indicate that we're not going to get anything parliament, anything this parliament, when it to university students,

it comes to university students, when comes to things like the when it comes to things like the skills that we are trying to attract here, that is attract people here, that is true, which i believe it is. would mean a complete capitulation face of mass capitulation in the face of mass migration. that's going to be at ten. been down to ten. i've also been down to oxford today, catching up oxford street today, catching up with christmas with last minute christmas shoppers. it didn't go that well for some of them. how are you getting on living hell ? getting on living hell? >> right? i need a glass of champagne . champagne. >> okay. all right. look, talk me through what's so me through what's happened so far? me through what's happened so far’ii've come out shopping. >> i've come out shopping. i ended buying myself some stuff. >> i've had no presents yet . >> i've had no presents yet. >> i've had no presents yet. >> yes, that's right. but next, i will be talking to a psychologist about what could drive people to the depths of evil that we saw yesterday in prague . mass shooters. okay prague. mass shooters. okay we're trying to get into the minds of those maniacs. don't go

the most entertaining pay per view anywhere on telly. coming

up a little later on with all of your front pages. but first, we're still reflecting on yesterday's horrifying news from the czech republic . a gunman the czech republic. a gunman killed 14 people the capital killed 14 people in the capital of before shooting of prague before shooting himself the scene where he himself at the scene where he was surrounded by police . but was surrounded by police. but what possibly drive what could possibly drive someone to commit such an act ? someone to commit such an act? what could be going on inside their to discuss this? i'm their head to discuss this? i'm joined by psychologist joined now by psychologist doctor david holmes. doctor david, thank you very much. what fuels these people? what what goes on, these kind of people that want to that want to do these mass shootings? what's the kind profiling . here? kind of profiling. here? >> well, basically they're usually young . um, they're usually young. um, they're usually young. um, they're usually male . usually male. >> um, although it's quite interesting to note that the, uh, the guy from prague's , um, uh, the guy from prague's, um, main inspiration , the tipping main inspiration, the tipping point, if you like, for pushing him forward, is actually carrying out the killing was in fact , a lady, a carrying out the killing was in fact, a lady, a young carrying out the killing was in fact , a lady, a young school fact, a lady, a young school girl of 14, in russia , who

girl of 14, in russia, who actually turned around and shot five of her colleagues, one died and then shot herself. it's fairly unusual. >> it's the first case i've come across where it's been a female. >> so generally a male, generally a bit of a loner, sometimes a bit of a loser. >> somebody who's susceptible to conspiracy theories . conspiracy theories. >> um, and most important of all, the elephant in the room is that they have guns and access to guns. and this guy had at least eight licensed firearms . least eight licensed firearms. >> and we are talking kind of the large, long—range, you know , the large, long—range, you know, type gun, which is really only for taking things out. yeah >> no, i mean, there was some really quite harrowing footage which i hope we might be able to show a minute or two of show in a minute or two of people away things people running away and things like people running away and things uke and people running away and things like and obviously like that, and obviously absolutely terrified scene. but do like get do things like this get triggered very early on in people, you know, can you almost profile someone quite early in their life and say this, this, this is , you know, going this person is, you know, going to something like this? to do something a bit like this? >> , you can often kind of >> well, you can often kind of like , you know, upfront killers

like, you know, upfront killers that will, you know, face off one person or , um, go on a one person or, um, go on a serial killing hunt. >> um, for individuals , but >> um, for individuals, but they're kind of more cold blooded, drawn back, um, school shooter, uh, stereotype , if you like. >> it's far more difficult to actually spot early on. >> there are kind of red flags that you can see. they do tend to be loners. they tend to keep themselves. they tend to harbour these kind of ideas of kind of strange grandeur. things um, sometimes you can detect them on the internet because although they're very shy and won't actually talk to other people much, um, they will actually be fairly prolific online. um, of recent times. anyway. um, and, and, um, they won't actually put up with very much contradictory information . often, however, you information. often, however, you can get an early detection of these individuals. in fact, this guy was online saying he was going to do a school shooting, uh, many, many months before he

actually carried it out. do they disassociate themselves from the crime because one thing that i don't quite understand, apart from of it, actually really from all of it, actually really is , is often than not, they is, is more often than not, they end up taking life at end up taking their own life at the of it. the end of it. >> why don't they just do that to with save a load of to begin with and save a load of people's lives? >> kind of very >> well, it kind of very simplistic reasoning on our behalf, but i'm afraid the way they see things, they are the central character in a film which they are enacting and often because of like podcasting and the online business in general , they often can actually general, they often can actually see that as a reality as they actually create a film for themselves. >> i mean, there's a guy with a, um, you know, a, a camera and what have you who carried out shootings. um so in a way, they're in a kind of insular that it's them and us. there's a very clear dividing line between the outside world and them. they kind of like a separate . they're kind of like a separate. they're in an isolated bubble . they make in an isolated bubble. they make the decisions and their decision often is to take their own life

at the end of it. sometimes they may actually kind of go, you know, i don't really want to do that, you know, but they will go through it because they've through with it because they've planned of the planned it. it's all part of the film score that they've written themselves. is this going to be an increasing import from america? >> do you think that we're going to see more of in europe and the uk? what do you reckon ? um, my uk? what do you reckon? um, my thinking is that it will spread a bit more. >> unfortunately, there's a very strong copycat situation going on here, uh, where young kids see this , you know, going on in see this, you know, going on in america particularly, um, and they think, well, i could do that. you know, i want to do that. you know, i want to do that. and in this particular case, the guy was actually inspired by more by russian, um , inspired by more by russian, um, shooters than he was american. however america is the heartland of it . um, it really is. and you of it. um, it really is. and you have to again, the elephant in the room, the gun laws, the right to bear arms in america. same same as in czechoslovakia. they also have the same rules.

well i've seen a few different reasons. >> i mean, the incel problem appears to be on the rise. these involuntary celibates who hate women and all of this stuff . um, women and all of this stuff. um, what tends to be or is there a kind of common trigger for these people, you know, is it like being abused when you're growing up or is it, you know, a bad experience with a teacher when you're growing up? is it, you know, finding out that maybe you're particularly you're not particularly attractive opposite sex? attractive to the opposite sex? i mean, it strikes me that a lot of people clearly are very of these people clearly are very angry at the world for something. very something. aren't they? very often there's a lot of resentment . resentment. >> the resentment isn't particularly realistic. um it's they see themselves as failing in other people's eyes, and they resent other people for that. they blame other people for that. it may be, as you say, the teacher that clips him around the it may the girl the ear. it may be the girl that's him down or told that's let him down or told him that's let him down or told him that he's ugly or whatever. um, so that actually begins to so that he actually begins to feel inferiority . whereas feel that inferiority. whereas most of man up, if

most people kind of man up, if you like and try and sort of change themselves , these guys change themselves, these guys want to take it out on society. it's your fault. i'm going to do, you know, something against the people that call me names? you know? so, uh, and it's unfortunate that if they're allowed harbour this, if allowed to harbour this, if they're allowed, if you like to, to stew over this , over the to stew over this, over the years, then this is where the real danger signs come . and if real danger signs come. and if they have arms, they can walk into a school of unarmed children and they can do what they like. the biggest. >> i mean, you kept coming back to it. there and you're absolutely spot on. it's thank god we don't have as many guns here they have in other here as they have in other countries because absolutely a massive problem. doctor david, thank much. thank you very, very much. psychologist. david psychologist. doctor david holmes, . and we haven't holmes, there. and we haven't just about got enough time to go to unfortunately. but to the panel unfortunately. but don't be seeing don't worry, you'll be seeing a lot more in the next lot more of them in the next hour because the government has been us when been gaslighting us when it comes yep we had comes to immigration. yep we had the salary row row back yesterday, didn't we? well, it looks as though they're going to go soft on students again and

looking up at the reporter who was not happening. any update on the kind of students that they're going to allow here? a real significant salary increase for people bringing spouses over and we will also not have an updated skills list. so we'll just kind of carry on as we are. thatis just kind of carry on as we are. that is not to me, mike, i don't think a party that is doing everything they can to get the numbers down. >> well, absolutely and he >> well, absolutely not. and he keeps stopping keeps saying about stopping the boats, keeps saying about stopping the bo do, keeps saying about stopping the bo do either. but that's small to do either. but that's a small number relative to the legal migration we're talking about. and gb news were and just earlier gb news were reporting on the fact that we've got asylum seekers are got asylum seekers who are in fear their own safety heading fear of their own safety heading home for christmas. uh, so they're not that scared of their

own safety, are they? when are we going to get control? it was the the beginning of the tories at the beginning of this said this run with cameron that said we'd it down to tens of we'd get it down to tens of thousands last year. i know we're talking about net migration at 750, but it was 1.2 people. million people came here. and we can say we need the jobs, we need the nurses, we need the different people. but we've 1.1 million healthy we've got 1.1 million healthy unemployed in this country. surely should get them surely we should get them working. and if we need nurses and takes 3 or years, and that takes 3 or 4 years, maybe start training maybe we should start training our people that healthy our the people that are healthy unemployed. got unemployed. so they've got a career. got some work career. so they've got some work and making harder if they're and making it harder if they're not work. not willing to work. >> i just think it's the lies, john. right. because as you know, those john. right. because as you kno migration those john. right. because as you kno migration numbers. those john. right. because as you kno migration numbers. it'sose john. right. because as you kno migration numbers. it's too net migration numbers. it's too high. unsustainable. this high. it's unsustainable. this we've we've we've got to a we've we've we've got to make a statement this. then he statement on this. so then he comes wheel out comes out. they wheel out james cleverly he cleverly and he does this. he does spiel there how does his spiel there about how they're it. they're going to tackle it. a similar thing when it comes to illegal migration. and then yesterday 7 pm. they yesterday at about 7 pm. they tweeted out, was tweeted something out, which was a of sorts when a reverse ferret of sorts when it comes to the salaries for spouses, etc, and then i got

sent something today by an mp who said, look, you know, this has been buried and you need to highlight the fact that we're not an update. this not going to get an update. this parliament on the visas for students or on the skills list. they must think we're thick. >> no, ijust they must think we're thick. >> no, i just think that this it strikes me after my years at westminster . strikes me after my years at westminster. this to me strikes me after my years at westminster . this to me is westminster. this to me is a classic case of our old friend incompetence . right? these incompetence. right? these things are complicated . and things are complicated. and they're not just one department. they all come back to the prime minister. he's the one who's got to answer. and what margaret thatcher to do. the reason thatcher used to do. the reason why she was often working very late is that she would late at night is that she would think, but i'm going to have to answer. to have to answer. i'm going to have to answer. i'm going to have to answer if answer questions on this. so if we're doing this and that, what about people coming from the universities? what about high grade scientists ? are they going grade scientists? are they going to be able to be are they going to be able to be are they going to be able to be are they going to be stopped by this move or not? how going work? to be stopped by this move or not?that's going work? to be stopped by this move or not?that's howloing work? to be stopped by this move or not?that's how she] work? to be stopped by this move or not?that's how she survived? to be stopped by this move or not?that's how she survived . and and that's how she survived. and she did it because she didn't want she wants to be want to be. she wants to be better any man start.

better than any man for a start. yeah, yeah. she wants work yeah, yeah. she wants to work very was very she was very hard. she was very she was often extremely nervous about what might happen the next day . what might happen the next day. and you feel all that sort of sense of, gosh , this is sense of, gosh, this is important. this is important , important. this is important, and we must make sure we do that. and she would often, often her that 1 or 2 in the her messages that 1 or 2 in the morning would be but i don't quite understand if we do quite understand that if we do this, what about that ? so she'd this, what about that? so she'd be continuously interrogating her own government . and so her own government. and so sometimes she would sort of say to her, but you're the government. she said, no, they're doing this. i've got to keep an on them. yeah. keep an eye on them. yeah. meaning government . meaning the government. >> go. we reached out >> but we did go. we reached out to the office for a comment to the home office for a comment on i've just said on everything i've just said there. they said unfair to there. they said it's unfair to say kicking the can say that we're kicking the can down road. this is what they down the road. this is what they said to us, that they are obviously doing everything that said to us, that they are obvi(to ly doing everything that said to us, that they are obvi(to canoing everything that said to us, that they are obvi(to can reduceerything that said to us, that they are obvi(to can reduce net1ing that they to can reduce net migration. and of this. and migration. and all of this. and charlotte, you know, you see things hands are tied is things our hands are tied is a phrase comes out like our phrase that comes out like our hands tied. and see what hands are tied. and you see what france the moment. france is doing at the moment. france is doing at the moment. france managed part the france has managed part of the echr introduce stricter

echr to introduce stricter migration laws. and their hands don't seem to be tied on that. and then today it's emerged that we have had asylum seekers, i would argue, fake asylum seekers trying to leave britain to go home for the holidays, who have been stopped. and i just wonder, well , our been stopped. and i just wonder, well, our hands aren't that tied. they wave them off. >> no rishi sunak hands are tied by wanting to win the election next year and wanting to win votes on the right and in the middle, and i guess the french, the aren't worried the french aren't too worried about think compared about what people think compared to rishi sunak rishi sunak all he worries about is what people think. but as as john said, he wasn't very strategic in his thinking. should thinking. you know, he should have about the have been more nervous about the grilling was going to get the grilling he was going to get the next did look like next day, and he did look like he nervous, he he was actually nervous, but he looked expecting looked like he wasn't expecting to have you thought to be asked. have you thought this you sat down this through? have you sat down and planned all thinks and planned this all he thinks about will people think? about is what will people think? will vote me in if i create will they vote me in if i create this policy out of thin air? >> he's behaving like a non—politician. that's what's >> he's behaving like a non—po is cian. that's what's >> he's behaving like a non—po is ifan. that's what's >> he's behaving like a non—po is if he that's what's >> he's behaving like a non—po is if he goess what's >> he's behaving like a non—po is if he goes to rhat's >> he's behaving like a non—po is if he goes to work , strange is if he goes to work, he his work as efficiently

he does his work as efficiently as responsible for as he can. he's responsible for certain . and the end of certain things. and the end of the day comes. that's it . the day comes. that's it. where's the accountability? >> ? you know, like >> you know? you know, it's like they don't they're not even embarrassed lies embarrassed about telling lies or half anymore . there is or half truths anymore. there is no accountability. and so many people have said to me, i've always been more right than left, but they've said there's no cell in my body that can allow me to vote right this time, because because, you know, if they have if they've made this mess in so many areas in 13, 14 years, are they ever going to fix it? i think we're in a interesting situation as a country where anecdotally speaking here, i think a lot of people don't really want want to vote labour, but they feel as though they can't vote conservative because they've been let down. >> there are obviously a lot of people out there who are desperate to vote for labour desperate to vote for the labour party. not trying to party. i'm not i'm not trying to make statement, but, you make that statement, but, you know, feel they know, and they kind of feel they feel homeless. feel quite politically homeless. and i wonder if it's and i just wonder if it's because like this. when because of stuff like this. when you situation, john, you get to a situation, john, where time a politician

where every time a politician i know at home will be know people at home will be laughing at this, but every time a politician opens mouth laughing at this, but every time a poyouian opens mouth laughing at this, but every time a poyouian oassume mouth laughing at this, but every time a poyouian oassume that outh laughing at this, but every time a poyouian oassume that they're and you just assume that they're going back on that within going to row back on that within days, pointless, days, then it's pointless, isn't it? and obviously the >> it is. and obviously the trick if you can do it, is to be ahead constantly, ahead of the curve, i mean, like curve, constantly. i mean, like the nhs, can't let waiting the nhs, you can't let waiting lists just go up to 8 million. you've to sort of say, you've got to sort of say, right, we must have some emergency system which we're going to think about and agree on, and we're then going to present it to the public. but you there's sense of you don't. there's no sense of that, is there? no. >> there's no of urgency. >> there's no sense of urgency. >> there's no sense of urgency. >> there's no sense of urgency. >> there's of. but at >> there's no sense of. but at least if could to grips >> there's no sense of. but at leastsomethingd to grips >> there's no sense of. but at leastsomething like to grips >> there's no sense of. but at least something like that,rips with something like that, whether immigration or whether it's immigration or whatever it is, and then hit it with a plan go with a proper plan and then go to the stick to it, that's it, and to it. and stick to it. >> be bold. be brave, because that's a sense of that's who does feel a sense of urgency. people have got housing crisis. worse off crisis. people who are worse off per who feel as per capita, people who feel as though their culture is though their their culture is being or diluted is being degraded or diluted is probably a better way of putting it all these, those people it all of these, those people feel genuine sense of urgency.

feel a genuine sense of urgency. i think it would be nice if those in power and by the way, i'm on both i'm referring to people on both sides here. maybe sides of the chamber here. maybe reflected that sense of urgency. just again, just want to emphasise again, we did to home office did reach out to the home office for this. they did for comment on this. they did say it is unfair to say they are kicking can the road, kicking the can down the road, but coming up we will get you tomorrow's first with our tomorrow's news first with our front because we've got front pages because we've got some street's finest some of fleet street's finest right here, haven't but right here, haven't we? but before scholarship before that is a scholarship for working white boys. race working class white boys. race or actually, is it far too late that this thing is being done so this has been done quite a long time ago. i'll have a meaty discussion on that with two top guests, for all of that, we guests, but for all of that, we have three amazing prizes that are guaranteed to be won by one lucky viewer in our great british giveaway. ten grand in cash tech and vouchers. if you haven't entered yet, why not? it's easy. here's how this is it's so easy. here's how this is your chance to win three amazing pnzes your chance to win three amazing prizes that will get your new year to off a great start. >> first, there's a terrific £10,000 in cash to won . be £10,000 in cash to won. be imagine what you could do with

out in force . a lot of them out in force. a lot of them incredibly stressed out and i do not blame them. don't go anywhere

on gb news, the people's channel on gb news, the people's channel, britain's news channel . channel, britain's news channel. >> bit of good news now. so we've heard countless diversity schemes for ethnic minorities . schemes for ethnic minorities. we've had black only apprenticeships, job applications at the bbc or the nhs that include the words only apply nhs that include the words only apply if black or asian or an

ethnic minority. well, now , now ethnic minority. well, now, now there is an opportunity specific for white working class men. they're only just men as well, really, because they'll be of university age and it's that the university of bradford, which is offering a scholarship for that demographic, that demographic , demographic, that demographic, by the way, which is the worst performing in schools and has been now for a little while. the working class white boys. well, i welcome the scheme. obviously. remember those working class white boys have been let for down decades. a government report found that in 2021. so i think it's about time that this large part of society was given a bit of help , especially as a bit of help, especially as other aspects of society are given help as well . to discuss given help as well. to discuss this now i am joined by lisa jubilee, who's a broadcaster and communications advisor, and alison malloch, who's director of equality and diversity uk . of equality and diversity uk. look, both of you. thank you very much. lisa i will start with you on this . do you think with you on this. do you think this is a good thing that we

need more of it? oh, i think it's a fantastically good thing. >> and i totally agree with you that it should have happened a long, you long, long time ago. if you think this is quite a big swathe of certainly of british society, certainly amongst youngsters, and you think that only 1.7% of those people are represented currently at the university of bradford , at the university of bradford, and even that is compared to 4.14 point 9% in the total population in the uk . clearly, population in the uk. clearly, the figures are qatar strophic. so what we're seeing now is an attempt to actually rectify that situation. now i think it's much more should be done because this just amounts to four young men getting £400 per month to support their studies . and it's support their studies. and it's come from a foundation within the university . so it's not as the university. so it's not as though the government's gone mad about this. >> all right. now, alison, i'm really, really intrigued to see what here what you have to say here because director because you've director of equality and diversity uk. so i mean, you are plugged right into this kind of stuff. so what is

your take initially on what the university of bradford here have done? >> uh, i think they, they, they're addressing the underreported station. >> i think it's really important. and i go along with everything that you say that, you know , they have got the you know, they have got the figures , they've got the figures, they've got the statistics, and they recognise that they're underrepresented. but again , the equality act says but again, the equality act says that they can take positive action where underrepresentation occurs. so if you've actually got, um, a legitimate reason for doing this, then that's okay as well. and they're doing it for other groups. so this isn't that they're just doing it for this one group. they're actually doing for, uh, groups are doing it for, uh, groups who are ethnically well . um, ethnically diverse as well. um, and, you know, there's that intersectionality there. so it's really important that they recognise because they're recognise that because they're on school meals and all of those kinds of things. women are coming in, girls are coming in, but the males are not. and therefore what they're saying is we of those males to we want more of those males to reach their full potential. and in their full in reaching their full potential, need to support

potential, we need to support them give them. the £400 them and give them. the £400 bursary really, really bursary is really, really acceptable . acceptable. >> yeah. and lisa, you know, for a while we speak about, you know , appointments where only ethnic minorities can apply for it. or actually the case of a couple of really quite posh schools where a wealthy individual wanted to give a £1 million grant, specifically for working class whiteboards or underprivileged whiteboards or underprivileged white boys, and that was knocked back, um , clearly they didn't back, um, clearly they didn't feel as though maybe that was that would be appropriate . but that would be appropriate. but but but lisa, i suppose instead of us saying that the other stuff should be banned, right? just do of it. just more just do more of it. just do more of and include working of this and include working class white in class white boys in it. >> what's really >> i mean, what's really interesting is that money interesting is that this money comes called comes from something called the keith howard foundation. keith howard from howard was a philanthropist from the north of england who decided to money into very to give all this money into very many good causes. so this is only a very, very small part of the money that he's given away as a benefactor. he's given money to schools . he's given money to schools. he's given money to schools. he's given money in particular to do grammar totally

grammar schools, which i totally agree is a great idea. the abolition of grammar schools was one of the greatest disservices for children from poorer backgrounds, both boys and girls. in terms of equalising their educational opportunities or educational advancement, i should say. but not enough money is put into this. this is only for places , as at bradford for places, as at bradford university. that's compared to many more that are given to other groups at the same university . university. >> now, alison, in your capacity as director of equality and diversity uk, do you think you're going to see a swing towards under privileged white people, not just boys necessarily or is there more massively, massively, massively more of a focus on on ethnic minorities ? do you think, um , i minorities? do you think, um, i don't think there's more of a focus on any one group. >> i think that the transparency is really important because we've got equality legislation, the equality legislation says that we have to collect the data to analyse it and then use it to

plan, and there's got to be a legitimate reason for doing this . and that legitimacy has to be transparent and therefore the data is there. the statistics are there, and the university itself is saying, you know , we itself is saying, you know, we are addressing under—representation . and in under—representation. and in doing that, we are collecting the data, we're analysing it, we're using it to plan and therefore whichever groups need that support, we need to put that support, we need to put that in. >> so i suppose, lisa, it does beg the question because this data has been out there for quite a while. right. i wonder whether or not people have been too afraid act on this kind too afraid to act on this kind of whether of thing, whether it's universities, whether it's schools whether whatever schools, whether it's whatever else. they didn't else. because they didn't necessarily want to seen to necessarily want to be seen to be overtly favouring white people. right. because you know, that can open up a whole can of worms, can't it? and you can get called a horrible names lisa for sure. >> and i and i think people are naturally wary of that. we've seen other instances, particularly in crime, where terrible things have happened

because people have not been willing to touch what they regard as sensitive subjects. but i guess the real problem here is that this isn't just about young white guys or ethnic minority boys or girls or different segments of the community. what this is about, right, is people who come from poorer , the more impoverished poorer, the more impoverished backgrounds , who need some help backgrounds, who need some help to get a leg up. now youth clubs have been disbanded , youth have been disbanded, youth groups have been disbanded , groups have been disbanded, sports groups have been disbanded . historically, all disbanded. historically, all those things gave young white men. some traction in the community, some sense of pride. it's not just these awards that are important. it's actually support for them that goes on very profoundly in the community. >> me and alison, i'll give the final word to you on this. this is for all students at the university of bradford . you university of bradford. you know, good start. and know, really good start. and obviously there's a load of other schemes out as well. other schemes out there as well. again emphasise, you again i want to emphasise, you know, calling to cancel know, not calling to cancel other that's doing other stuff that's just doing more okay. you hope more of this. okay. do you hope

that universities, maybe that other universities, maybe schools as well, maybe workplaces as well open up similar schemes like this where they do give a bit of a leg up to , you know, kind of working to, you know, kind of working class white boys. yeah >> i think that, um, we really need to use the, the legislation out there because we have got that positive action and positive action says that where we see under—representation , we see under—representation, that we can put these things in place . but it's got to be place. but it's got to be legitimate. it's got to be proportionality within it and all of those things. and i think it's really important that we look within our organisations to see what that data tells us. and then work on that data, build it into an action plan. it isn't the case of sort of, you know, uh , grabbing it from the sky, if uh, grabbing it from the sky, if you like. it's actually saying, let's look at the data, let's analyse it, let's use it to plan and do collect and let's do it collect collaboratively co productively. and that's really important. >> all right lisa go on. >> all right lisa go on. >> well i mean this didn't happen though. um alison because

of the data. yeah i mean one of the problems with the equalities act is that sometimes the data is ignored and has been ignored. this has happened because a foundation a private foundation set up by a private individual has decided this is the thing to do. and may the right thing to do. and may i hope continues because it hope that continues because it is the right thing to do. we just need more of it. >> okay, look, both of you. thank very much. i've thank you very much. i've thoroughly enjoyed. love thank you very much. i've th> living hell. >> living hell. >> right. i need a glass of champagne . champagne. >> okay. all right. look, talk me through what's happened so far. >> i've just i've come out shopping. i ended up just buying myself stuff. shopping. i ended up just buying my�* i've stuff. shopping. i ended up just buying my�*i've no uff. shopping. i ended up just buying my�*i've no presents yet . >> i've had no presents yet. >> i've had no presents yet. >> yeah, i went out and i spoke to blokes who had left their christmas shopping the last christmas shopping to the last minute. were pounding the minute. and were pounding the pavements street , the

pavements on oxford street, the busiest street in busiest shopping street in the uk . just two days before uk. just two days before christmas . uk. just two days before christmas. but uk. just two days before christmas . but next we will get christmas. but next we will get tomorrow's front pages. today you will get them first here and there are some corkers on the front of the national newspaper , front of the national newspaper, so no reason to go to bed

page might sell a few copies. now w

him on that basis alone, because he actually , he was of the he actually, he was one of the very first to pull them up on their but, you their ginormous fibs. but, you know, very fond of know, charles is very fond of welby. i think he should be knighted. why not? >> , what think, john? >> well, the trouble is, just >> well, the trouble is, i just think the of people think of the number of people i know knighted. and know who are knighted. and frankly are frankly, all of them are appalling people in one way or another. you know, you don't. you think, oh, you know, you don't think, oh, you know, don't bush. don't beat around the bush. marvellous so i mean, if you then say me, look, is this then say to me, look, is this guy you know, in terms guy worth it? you know, in terms of archbishop canterbury, guy worth it? you know, in terms of course:hbishop canterbury, guy worth it? you know, in terms of course he shop canterbury, guy worth it? you know, in terms of course he should canterbury, guy worth it? you know, in terms of course he should be nterbury, guy worth it? you know, in terms of course he should be knighted. it's not that a deal. well, of course he should be knighted. it'sobviously a deal. well, of course he should be knighted. it'sobviously gets deal. well, of course he should be knighted. it'sobviously gets on al. well, of course he should be knighted. it'sobviously gets on very'ell, of course he should be knighted. it'sobviously gets on very well he obviously gets on very well with charles. they that joke with charles. they had that joke in didn't they? where, in the film, didn't they? where, where, where archbishop made where, where the archbishop made a and didn't know what a mistake and didn't know what the next phrase was . yeah. and the next phrase was. yeah. and charles said to him, should charles said to him, we should know by now or something. i mean, they obviously do have know by now or something. i mvery they obviously do have know by now or something. i mvery strongy obviously do have know by now or something. i mvery strong personally do have relationship. >> this guy, this guy closed was happy churches during happy to close churches during lockdown. essentially lockdown. he's essentially really openly come out against it. well, he's come out i would argue pro—open borders. he's come out against the rwanda side of things as well. he's been

wading in on things like that. i just don't know if that guy should be knighted. >> i always through my life thought our monarch and thought that our monarch and our religious were supposed religious leaders were supposed to be apolitical and we're supposed to deal with matters of the heart and spirit and so on. and, and to me, they're getting increasingly political. but what i can tell you about the archbishop, this archbishop, they dismissed the dean of peterborough cathedral one year before was to retire over before he was due to retire over a technicality , and they treated a technicality, and they treated him like no employee should ever be treated. and i said, you have a case here for wrongful dismissal. and he said , but the dismissal. and he said, but the problem is, mike, if you're in the church, that's going the church, that's like going against so the church against god. and so the church often treat own people often treat their own people awfully because this. so he's awfully because of this. so he's no one to, to to, have a good moral position in my opinion. and i just think they should be apolitical. it's not their place. we once he's knighted, he'll row back on that a little bit, especially because charles is trying very hard to be apolitical, because he's his apolitical, because he's got his history, as history, obviously, as the

prince of wales, of being political the a little political in the past, a little bit too much. >> um, he'll maybe this >> um, so maybe he'll maybe this will be the moment he of will be the moment he kind of shuts think. shuts up. i think. >> there's another thing >> i think there's another thing too. i don't know that much about welby, but you do about justin welby, but you do know has been depressed. know that he has been depressed. he and he said he's been depressed and taken i suspect taken time off, and i suspect that knows him , that charles, who knows him, thinks, you know, the king thinks, you know, the king thinks, , he really does thinks, look, he really does need confidence boosted and need his confidence boosted and as as we can because cause as much as we can because cause he's a good man. and what he does now, suspect the does now, i suspect that's the arguing . you know, that's the arguing. you know, that's the real point that just, you know, keep him going. >> real people >> they're both real people with real emotions. charles and welby, classed his welby, it's classed as his personal service to the crown. >> he's involved in >> so obviously he's involved in the marry the coronation. yeah. marry harry, i can't remember if he married william now. actually but, uh, maybe not. anyway but, um. but. yes. no. could have done so . we've got have done a done so. we've got have done a one but but clearly one off, but but clearly there has been , there has been has been, there has been a personal relationship between the crown and the archbishop of canterbury . you know, whether it canterbury. you know, whether it comes to that transcending into the political realm , you know, i

the political realm, you know, i don't know, but can i just ask a quick question ? have you done quick question? have you done all your christmas shopping, john? >> well, no, i think my wife's done most of it right. like done most of it right. i'd like to say i was right at the to say that i was right at the forefront of this operation. but you . my wife's too good at you can't. my wife's too good at this. you can't sort of. >> your wife's a full time teacher. she should be my teacher, weirdly. >> well , there you are. >> well, there you are. >> well, there you are. >> wife's doing the shopping . >> wife's doing the shopping. she's job. you've got a job. >> i've got a minute. john sargent's wife was your teacher. yeah, yeah. >> fate. yeah. yeah, yeah. >:is. fate. yeah. it is. >> it odd. i hope she was. >> it is odd. i hope she was. what was she like? did she give you a good rapport? >> she was really good. yeah. she straight a's she always gave me straight a's because straight student. >> oh. well done. >> oh. well done. >> okay, right now i've got time to ask you because we'll come back because back to it after this. because speaking shopping. all right, speaking of shopping. all right, many to ahead many people like to be ahead of the when it comes to the game when it comes to christmas all christmas to get all their presents well advance, presents sorted well in advance, to leading to to enjoy the time leading up to the day. others prefer the the big day. others prefer the rush minute panic rush of the last minute panic buying, to buying, so i headed down to oxford street early on. it's the busiest street the busiest shopping street in the country, one of busiest country, on one of the busiest shopping year. to
