12:04 am
that are women and i suppose it's more accessible now for women to get into politics. how difficult was it back the day difficult was it back in the day for to get into the for a woman to get into the house of commons? well, imagine if were one of 23 blokes in if you were one of 23 blokes in a house of over 600 women. >> might feel a little >> you might feel a little outnumbered, mightn't you? yeah you know, i mean, you might enjoy it, but nonetheless you would really would feel that's really strange. that's how it was strange. and that's how it was for i got elected for us. the year i got elected first time was 83, which was margaret thatcher's second big, big, big, big result. it was after the falklands war. and that was when we had a huge majority and even so we had 23 women in the house. we had 13 tories and ten labour and none of the others, you know, the liberals or any of the others had any . women at all. i know we had any. women at all. i know we had any. women at all. i know we had the prime minister, but even so, it did feel odd. on the other hand, i've been involved in politics for a long time. i've been helping to run the city of birmingham. i come from liverpool used to
12:05 am
liverpool and i was used to being, know, the only woman being, you know, the only woman in the room or the only woman in the wasn't going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing wasn't going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up,asn't going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up, you going to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up, you know; to do in the room or the only woman in the washing up, you know whato the washing up, you know what i mean? and that meant that i would sit table and would sit at the table and i would sit at the table and i would argue and i would talk, and i would find myself still in the the men long the debate with the men long after everybody else had gone, well, it's great to have you here, we've also got here, edwina, but we've also got some people in the room tonight. >> got our left in the >> we've got our left in the corner. i say left's we've got lisa she. she's an lisa mckenzie. she. she's an anarchist and we've got andy mcdonald, who's trade unionist mcdonald, who's a trade unionist and going and matthew laza. he's going to talk 13, 13 years sorry of talk about 13, 13 years sorry of tory role. thanks guys for coming. going to coming. i think we're going to talk women talk about now women in politics. edwina think politics. oh edwina do you think it's right that political parties have all women shortlists. >> no i don't and always >> no i don't and i've always thought was wrong. and i'll thought it was wrong. and i'll tell you for why. because uh, people felt people who have felt discriminated against as women did ever practice did should never, ever practice discrimination did should never, ever practice discriwhich on what an all women else, which is what an all women shortlist is. so it's far shortlist is. so so it's far better what david better to do what i think david cameron did originally when he was in opposition. he was opposition trying opposition leader who was trying to women into the to get more women into the conservative and what he
12:06 am
conservative side and what he said was, when you do a selection committee and i've sat on loads of them, you must have equal numbers of men and women candidates coming forward. so that means you've got to make the effort to get more women or more under represented groups. okay, that's the way to do it, because then you're nurturing people, you're encouraging, you're somebody on the you're tapping somebody on the shoulder saying, well, shoulder and saying, well, i hear say. what a great hear what you say. what a great have you ever thought of standing for parliament? >> i kc matthew laza he's staring into space over there. over matthew. i'm afraid. >> i mean, edwina is, you know, a pioneer in politics and a great pioneer in politics and a great pioneer in politics and a great pioneer in politics and a great for people to a great example for people to get into, women to get involved. a great example for people to get all», women to get involved. a great example for people to get all», wome|shortlists1volved. a great example for people to get all», wome|shortlists haveed. but all women shortlists have their place. they are the reason why, uh, the labour parliamentary party is 5050. um, and hopefully they will over time won't be needed. but at the moment they, um, they had their place. >> yeah, but the trouble is, of course, the standard problem >> yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie standard problem >> yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if,|ndard problem >> yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, asard problem >> yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as ad problem >> yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as a woman m >> yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as a woman ,1 >> yeah, but the trouble is, of coursthisie if, as a woman , you with this is if, as a woman, you get the list and you're get through the list and you're only competing against other women, you're competing women, then you're not competing against comers . and know
12:07 am
against all comers. and you know , with the greatest possible respect, i think this is proven by the fact that a heck of a lot of the women you got in the labour party are absolutely useless. >> oh dear. >> oh dear. >> i certainly disagree with that. >> over to you, lisa. well, look, actually with you. look, i actually agree with you. >> think there should be >> i don't think there should be all women shortlists just because us, the because i think for us, the party system is the party political system is the problem. might an all problem. so you might get an all woman shortlist. but every one of them is sort of a shoo in or one, of them is one, at least one of them is a shoo in that the political party want, as the mp. i mean, you know, we're in sutton in ashfield . i've seen this happen ashfield. i've seen this happen for 40 years here. you know, that westminster sends their people, um, so it doesn't matter if it's all woman or all man shortlist. you know, the political party will make sure they get what they want. >> hello? i'm satire. lisa, i was at parachuted in. no, andy, over to you . over to you. >> well, i mean, i don't agree with all women shortlists. i think they're fundamentally flawed because, you know, like lisa said, get they lisa said, they'll get who they want particularly want really, particularly in certain parties coming to certain parties coming up to elections. want to have
12:08 am
elections. they want to have their hq candidates in their central hq candidates in key seats like ashfield and these kind of red wall seats that both parties want to have. but think there is a place, but i think there is a place, like edwina actually to like edwina said, actually to ensure that there is at least half women, half men, or if you're going racial of you're going on a racial kind of thing, there's half bame, thing, if there's half bame, half think there is half white, i think there is that space increase that kind that space to increase that kind of demographic parliament of demographic in parliament because at least because it's needed or at least it needed historically. it has been needed historically. so , that's three one so matthew, that's three one against if was gb news i'm against if i was gb news i'm used to, but i mean, i mean, i mean, seriously, lee, i mean, you know, you work for an mp here who was who works for gb news, who was selected by an all women did a great women shortlist and did a great job representing ashfield. women shortlist and did a great job and asenting ashfield. women shortlist and did a great job and we 1ting ashfield. women shortlist and did a great job and we campaignedi. women shortlist and did a great job and we campaigned for her together. >> they would all make great mps. why don't stand? yes. mps. why don't you stand? yes. no. stand, lisa wants no. don't you stand, lisa wants to the system. to smash the system. >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> i just don't want >> i just want. i don't want this. smash the system this. you can't smash the system by sitting on a bar stool. no well, i don't know. i mean, you can lot by sitting on a bar can do a lot by sitting on a bar stool, but no , it's been stool, but no, it's been been a member of parliament. would not be my. >> you. if you want the best
12:09 am
>> if you. if you want the best people in parliament and you look at the ones are there look at the ones that are there now and that applies whatever your and you your political party is and you think, know what i could think, do you know what i could do? at least a good job. you may well in which well be right. yeah. in which case put yourself forward. case you put yourself forward. start perhaps in local start off perhaps in local government council government stand for the council and run things and learn how to run things locally. it's not as easy as it looks from sitting on a bar stool, but by, by golly, it's a hell of a lot more worthwhile. >> look, edwina, year >> well, look, edwina, next year we a general we should have a general election. the end of election. maybe by the end of the uh, almost definitely. the year. uh, almost definitely. and labour party are 20 and the labour party are 20 points ahead in the polls. they seem to think they've got it in the bag. the thing that concerns me, they get the keys to me, if they do get the keys to number 10 momentum. they're number 10 is momentum. they're bubbung number 10 is momentum. they're bubbling under the bubbling along under the surface. trade surface. we've got some trade unions making nasty unions who are making some nasty noises at moment. you, mick noises at the moment. you, mick lynch's world, a lynch's of this world, is it a problem? they still there problem? are they still there and they influence the and will they influence the labour once get in? labour party once they get in? >> course they're still >> of course they're still there. course they're still there. of course they're still there. of course they're still there. you believe doesn't there. what you believe doesn't change, deeply change, especially very deeply held they're held beliefs. even if they're complete if they complete nonsense, even if they are actually against the welfare
12:10 am
of whole nation . as of the whole nation. as obviously momentum is. but i grew up in liverpool . i obviously momentum is. but i grew up in liverpool. i mean, you know, momentum by another name was there militant? it was called militant. i went to school with people like derek hatton and you'll get a mixture of people. you get people who are very sincere and really do believe the marxism and all believe all the marxism and all the and you'll get the other rubbish and you'll get some piggyback who some who piggyback on that, who see opportunities power. and see opportunities for power. and when see both of those when you see both of those sprinkled through the current benches of the labour party , um, benches of the labour party, um, if they get into any, any form of power , they're going to be of power, they're going to be very dangerous for our country because what they will do is give in to every strike that's going. they will give in to the railwaymen, they'll give in to the doctors, they'll give in to the doctors, they'll give in to the teachers. inflation then becomes know this becomes rampant and we know this because before. becomes rampant and we know this because you before. becomes rampant and we know this because you find before. becomes rampant and we know this because you find that before. becomes rampant and we know this because you find that the re. and then you find that the people who are most disadvantaged are the poorest in society. that's what would happen. >> rampant inflation. >> rampant inflation. >> didn't have that in >> rampant inflation. >> 13 didn't have that in >> rampant inflation. >> 13 years didn't have that in >> rampant inflation. >> 13 years of dn't have that in >> rampant inflation. >> 13 years of the have that in >> rampant inflation. >> 13 years of the labour1at in the 13 years of the labour government had. and government that we had. and instead 13 years of instead we've had 13 years of failure. edwina, you're failure. i mean, edwina, you're
12:11 am
doing you're on the doing a great job. you're on the left the tory party um, and left of the tory party um, and you be embarrassed by the you must be embarrassed by the shower we've at the shower that we've got at the moment at and how they how moment at and how they and how they behaving. so, no, look they behaving. um, so, no, look what's happened inside the labour membership. lot labour membership. is that a lot of members have left, over 150,000 left, about 150,000 people have left, about 100,000 people joined 100,000 new people have joined keir taken an keir starmer is has taken an iron grip, which i think might actually be a point of contention amongst certain contention amongst with certain people unions and people in the trade unions and iron on the selection iron grip on the selection procedures so that the next generation who be generation of mps who will be coming the election, even coming in in the election, even in seats that labour only has a 5050 chance of winning, uh, will be starmer and so be in the starmer mould. and so momentum no power. loses momentum has no power. it loses elections the elections internally all the time. of course, are time. of course, there are always a few people from the traditional left in labour traditional left in the labour party, were people party, just as there were people on the far right and the tories. andy. >> yeah, i mean, i don't know why you bring up mick lynch. he's affiliated to the he's not affiliated to the labour rmt is not labour party. the rmt is not affiliated the labour affiliated to the labour party. they since the they haven't been since what the late 80s, 90s. you know, late 80s, early 90s. you know, they see mps they actually you see labour mps on picket lines with them. on the picket lines with them. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and solidarity to them. you
12:12 am
know i think it's actually if you're worried about the leadership, starmer stopped leadership, keir starmer stopped any of his frontbench going out on picket i think on the picket lines. so i think if you're looking at that as a point of contention, that's not real. you real. you look at the if you look the internal internally look at the internal internally elected committees elected democratic committees in the the nec, the the labour party, the nec, the national policy forum, the young laboun national policy forum, the young labour, students, national policy forum, the young labo all students, national policy forum, the young labo all keir students, national policy forum, the young labo all keir starmer's. they all took keir starmer's mould, labour to win mould, the labour to win faction, not momentum faction, not the momentum faction. just lying faction. so you're just lying there, lying. there, not lisa, you're lying. >> oh i mean listen, i am i don't think the labour party is, uh, my, my interest politics uh, my, my interest in politics has been about working has always been about working class working class politics, working class representation, class representation, working class people's worth as people's lives, being worth as much anybody else's. now much as anybody else's. now that's what the labour party is there for. no it's not. >> look at angela rayner. >> look at angela rayner. >> no no no no no. the labour party, the labour party has not been for working class people since, i don't know, the 19 early 1970s, the labour party say to the millions of say that to the millions of benefit minimum minimum benefit from the minimum minimum wage which tories opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage 'we:h tories opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage 'we a tories opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage 'we a minimum opposed, benefit from the minimum minimum wage 'we a minimum wage sed, that which we a minimum wage was that the wage was actually a the minimum wage was actually a cop because what it did is cop out because what it did is it stagnated wages for about 15 years. so the minimum wage was
12:13 am
tony blair's way of keeping labour cheap . so, you know, labour cheap. so, you know, let's not let's not put, um , let's not let's not put, um, nostalgia about the labour party. >> see, matthew upsetting anarchists now, aren't you , anarchists now, aren't you, edwina? oh. with you, that's my role. >> they're splitting hairs . and >> they're splitting hairs. and that's because they're sitting on the bar stools at the bar. that's what you do when you sit like that and not getting like that and you're not getting really involved at local level. for , constituencies for example, in constituencies like in high peak, we can like mine in high peak, we can see the very left wing of the labour party , very much active. labour party, very much active. itake labour party, very much active. i take what you say about the nec and the and the higher levels of the labour party. you haven't taken over by keir haven't been taken over by keir starmer , but at level they starmer, but at local level they are still there, they're still there. they choosing there. they are choosing candidates. ones candidates. they're the ones that out door knocking. that go out door knocking. they're the ones who made sure, for example, that didn't get for example, that i didn't get elected to the county council when stood a couple years when i stood a couple of years ago, sort of thing. and ago, that sort of thing. and that's also where you get that flicker of anti—semitism and nastiness has to be nastiness that has had to be clamped , very hard. it's clamped on very, very hard. it's just under the surface. go and
12:14 am
have look at some the have a look at some of the people who on the marches people who went on the marches recently people recently or certainly people who needed there to leave the party. >> and they've left the party. keir has been absolutely firm and um, and, and but and clear. um, and, and but they've not left the party, though matthew, jeremy corbyn, look list of people. look at the list of people. >> it's not left. it's still party members. >> lot a lot of >> no, no, no a lot a lot of people have have who have anybody who's the cases have anybody who's all the cases have been out and anybody been processed out and anybody who should left has left. who should have left has left. i mean, you just ask jewish mean, you just ask our jewish comrades um, comrades who were unhappy, um, quite unhappy during, quite rightly unhappy during, uh, jeremy's leadership . uh, uh, jeremy's leadership. uh, now, i think that he has done absolutely the right thing. and it's the jewish labour movement that i listen to on these issues. >> i mean, i mean, the labour party and actually most of the trade unions now are full trade unions now are, are full of of middle class of sort of middle class bourgeois so yeah, i'm bourgeois left. so yeah, i'm sorry, all of them are sorry, not all of them are middle class. >> middle not all of >> middle class, not all of them, but quite well, actually. >> i mean, even mick lynch, they asked someone who's asked him whether someone who's earns £100,000 and got £1 million mortgage, are they working class? mick lynch said
12:15 am
yes . so i don't know where he's. yes. so i don't know where he's. i don't know what he's going on in the tuc, in the labour movement and in the trade unions. but i know not one of them talks the language of class for me . for me. >> so i know, i know, i think well ended on that note because that's good point, lisa. >> actually, i agree with you. but edwina, uh, thanks for that guys at the bar. lisa matthew and andy, thanks for that. it's been a brilliant debate. more from edwina currie shortly . but from edwina currie shortly. but first we're going to talk to emily barley about the heartbreaking story of the loss of her baby back in 2022.
12:16 am
12:17 am
12:18 am
world seems to care less about a lasting ceasefire . lasting ceasefire. >> you're listening . to. >> you're listening. to. >> you're listening. to. >> joining me now is emily barley , who sadly lost her baby barley, who sadly lost her baby beatrice in in may 2022. um, i know barnsley hospital have apologised for failures , but, apologised for failures, but, emily, tell us what happened .
12:19 am
emily, tell us what happened. >> yeah, i think often when a baby dies, people have an impression as though it's a chaotic environment and something terrible happens all at once and maybe staff that are overworked and, you know, make human mistakes. overworked and, you know, make human mistakes . that's not what human mistakes. that's not what happened to us. what happened to us is that i was ignored for hours , hour after hour after hours, hour after hour after hours, hour after hour after hour.i hours, hour after hour after hour . i was hours, hour after hour after hour. i was dismissed. so i was being a dramatic first time mum when i was raising concerns because my labour wasn't normal . because my labour wasn't normal. midwives were rolling their eyes, shrugging their shoulders , eyes, shrugging their shoulders, turning away, just not listening , which meant that some really , , which meant that some really, really important red flags were missed. and then as my labour went on monitoring of beatrice's heart showed that she was struggling and then it showed that she was dying and nobody did anything about it. it was as though they were fixed in this
12:20 am
opinion that everything was fine and i was just being dramatic. even when in the evidence was showing. it really wasn't okay. and in the end, that meant that when we should have been rushed to theatre for an emergency caesarean, it ofsted. that didn't happen. and i had three midwives and two doctors in the room standing around doing nothing, just a few minutes before they found that beatrice had died. the consultant obstetrician was laughing . obstetrician was laughing. >> i guess going through that, you must have felt helpless. >> yeah , yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. >> i mean, being in labour and having a baby is such a vulnerable time anyway. and to be asking for help and not getting any and nobody listening . and my mum with me, there is my birthing partner. she was brilliant. she was not just asking, she was telling, demanding, shouting. in the end and just being ignored. you really are just in their hands and there's nothing that you can do. >> emily, what do you want to
12:21 am
happen now? i know you've got a campaign going. what's your end goal? >> so i've joined together with a load of other bereaved families from all over the country, because my case is, what happened to me in beatrice is unique. it's is far from unique. it's happening everywhere, around happening everywhere, all around the . so we've joined the country. so we've joined together to call for a statutory national inquiry to national public inquiry to really underscore and not just why this is happening, but why it keeps on happening . after it keeps on happening. after all, the local investigations and all the national schemes and everything else that's been tried, it's just not working. and now pretty much every day of the year, a baby dies because of negligence in the nhs . negligence in the nhs. >> and when you're going through that , that difficult labour and that, that difficult labour and you're making these observations, these complaints , observations, these complaints, why don't they listen to you? emily do they know better ? emily do they know better? >> i think part of it is that they do think they know better, but there's a real culture of complacency , a culture of not complacency, a culture of not listening to mums. i think as
12:22 am
well a culture of not really caring. and that's not just among clinicians. caring. and that's not just among clinicians . that's all the among clinicians. that's all the way up the chain through the nhs. as chief executives of hospital and people at nhs england, people at the cqc, they kind of tolerate this. they think it's they think it's normal . well, like babies just normal. well, like babies just die sometimes and they don't. but let's be clear. >> i mean i mean most people that work in within the nhs are good, decent, hard working people. they save lots of lives every day and we never see the headunes every day and we never see the headlines that kingsmoor hospital saves a life. but when we tragic, heartbreaking we had the tragic, heartbreaking stories this, it brings it stories like this, it brings it home because i'm actually deaung home because i'm actually dealing with a case not too dissimilar to this in my constituency, where negligence and i think negligence has cost and i think negligence has cost a couple of parents their baby's life. but and this is critical because . for pregnant women, for because. for pregnant women, for new mothers, for new fathers, this is where where life starts. and i think sometimes maybe that the maternity department at
12:23 am
hospitals, because you see that many babies being born, it's like can be like a production line, can't it? and they should you should have picked those, those signs up, surely. >> yeah. they do often >> yeah. i think they do often treat labour as though it's normal. there's nothing to see here. no problem . but it's here. no problem. but it's actually, you know, being born is one of the most dangerous, riskiest times of anybody's life . um, and in the past, you know, before modern medicine loads more babies died, and we shouldn't be expecting babies to die. now we should be expecting them to live. but instead, there is this culture of complacency. there's a culture of not listening. and it doesn't just result in deaths of babies. every year, hundreds more babies are brain damaged because of negligence. mums suffer horrible physical injuries . and i think physical injuries. and i think actually a lot of mums , when you actually a lot of mums, when you speak to them, they might have come through labour and birth relatively okay and their babies are okay, they didn't have are okay, but they didn't have a good experience they weren't good experience and they weren't treated well. >> so this campaign you've >> so this campaign that you've got the how do

questions from the good people of ashfield
12:26 am
12:27 am
12:28 am
>> you're listening to gb news radio . so i've got all my guests radio. so i've got all my guests on the stage now. >> it's great. we've got arduino, we've got lisa, got andy and we've got matthew. we'll talk about real poverty now we can speak about back in the day what poverty was really like growing up in a like like growing up in a place like ashfield. that and ashfield. lisa knows that and andy knows that. but i remember back day where we didn't back in the day where we didn't have much money, we didn't have much money, um, we didn't rely food banks. you know, rely on food banks. you know, a lot people grew vegetables, lot of people grew vegetables, had allotments, relied on that as as our top up for our as our as our top up for our parents income. didn't parents income. so we didn't consider being in real consider ourselves being in real poverty. remember clothes we used to clothes. mothers used to buy clothes. my mothers here buy clothes from here used to buy clothes from the catalogue, about the catalogue, pay about £0.70 a week for a new jumper. i think the order cost about two weeks. andy, there. but andy, that jumper there. but that's you . let's go to you that's you. let's go to you first. real poverty. >> yeah i mean look real poverty does exist the country. and does exist in the country. and it has got worse under the 13
12:29 am
years of this tory government. and you as you well know, um, of course we can discuss real poverty is real poverty not having netflix? no. is real poverty not having a tv and having the basic amenities of life that people can expect in this day. and age, then yes. so of course it's the definition of what poverty changes as what real poverty is, changes as the country gets, as the countries got richer. um, but it's of course it exists. and it's of course it exists. and it's got worse. edwina >> yeah, well, i think many older people remember when for example, you'd wake up in the morning and there'd be ice on the inside of the window pane in your bedroom, and you didn't know what a duvet was or no such thing. it was a continental quilt. >> well, that was it. i mean, i'm i'm not for us. you're not. >> your name's not edwina. sorry yeah. and, um, we used to get the stuff that used to come from from canada. our cousins in canada. and they would send a whole hand—me—down. and whole box of hand—me—down. and that's what i get to wear. and wrapped inside it would be bits of chocolate and stuff , because of chocolate and stuff, because we had rationing till i was nine
12:30 am
years old. so older people really were not dismissive of the problems that people have today. um, but we have experienced far more and, and lee is quite right that actually it's often relative. it's what you get and what you've got compared with other people. to me, real poverty is something quite different. real poverty is when there's no dad there, when the family, the dad's gone , the the family, the dad's gone, the moment the baby has arrived, he's off. uh, the women are left on their own with with the children. and having to struggle. the real poverty is when those kids going to when those kids are going to school and there's. there's not a normal family life there. and they that really , really they find that really, really tough. poverty is sort of tough. real poverty is a sort of a story that you hear from kids in care. lisa. that's really that's real for me. >> yes i did, yeah. and when i grew up, i mean, i grew up in the 70s. we had ice on the inside of our windows. um i lived in a council house. >> was worse than yours. >> was worse than yours. >> uh, well, my well , my >> uh, well, my well, my granddad, well, my granddad, i live with grandma live with my grandma and granddad granddad worked
12:31 am
granddad and my granddad worked down he digging down the pit and he was digging coal, i down the pit and he was digging coal , i still lived down the pit and he was digging coal, i still lived in a coal, and i still lived in a freezing cold house. fact, freezing cold house. in fact, my, overarching had free my, my overarching had free coal. well free. yeah, they had free. they were digging it. they were going underground and my miners had free and they well, it wasn't free coal. it was part of their wage. >> it was concession. >> it was a concession. >> it was a concession. >> it was a concession. >> it was part of their wage. but, um, i mean, you've got to you've poverty, so you've you've got poverty, so you've got absolute poverty that means when their when people die from their poverty and you've got poverty and then you've got relative poverty, which is about how measure people , you how you measure people, you know, in relative for and me, poverty should be defined as , as poverty should be defined as, as people should have a life lived with dignity. and if that dignity is taken away from them, either through, um, debt or not having enough food or your kids being sent to school, not you know, not with enough stuff , you know, not with enough stuff, you know, not with enough stuff, you know, whether it's food or clothing or whatever. that's not living a life with dignity. so for me, if you're not living a
12:32 am
life with dignity, you live in poverty. >> so i guess there was plenty of poor people back in the day when, when edwina was growing up and definitely my mother back in the 50s, they had no the 40s and 50s, they had no money at all, but they lived a dignified life and they. >> mean, i grew in >> yeah, i mean, i grew up in mansfield in a different day to you, in that jumper, in this jumper. no, this is 2017. next's finest christmas line. i don't know why you're giving it so much hate. it's beautiful. um, but up in but but no, i grew up in mansfield. i didn't grow up in ashfield. but grew up in a ashfield. um, but i grew up in a bit of different time. but bit of a different time. but edwina about people edwina talks about people freezing homes you freezing in their homes and, you know, the 70s 80s and know, the 70s and 80s and a little earlier, i think it little bit earlier, i think it was early, a bit earlier. i would never assume i would never assume, um, you know, assume, um, but, you know, looking at that time. but technology advanced. why are technology has advanced. why are people their people still freezing in their homes got all of homes now? and we've got all of the advancements, even the advancements, you know, even just the different just looking at the different glazes windows, know, glazes of windows, you know, you've different types of you've got different types of central had such central heating. you've had such technical, technological central heating. you've had such technicalyet:hnological central heating. you've had such technicalyet:hnologiare still advance, yet people are still living ways. it's living in similar ways. it's just in the just a&e because someone in the audience out, we've audience is shouting out, we've got who wants to got a lady here who wants to talk about poverty.
12:33 am
>> yeah, mean, in >> yeah, i mean, i've lived in this area for 30 years now. >> i grew in derbyshire and, >> i grew up in derbyshire and, you i've got a friend that you know, i've got a friend that runs a local pub in selston, the railway inn, and they are certainly not seeing poverty. if there's certainly not seeing poverty. if there'poor and not having money, being poor and not having money, you can be poor and still go out and enjoy yourself. real and enjoy yourself. the real people bottom end of the people at the bottom end of the line that are suffering from poverty venues poverty aren't coming to venues like going local like this or going to the local chippy. leona, our local chippy. i mean, leona, our local chippy. i mean, leona, our local chip packed every friday chip is packed every friday night, the queuing down the streets. that's poverty. so streets. that's not poverty. so when talk poverty, when people talk about poverty, they about, well, they need to think about, well, do that or do i want do i need that or do i want that? there's a difference. >> she's actually right though, because poverty. because we talk about poverty. but is the chip but the takeaway is the chip shops mcdonald's, kfc's shops and mcdonald's, the kfc's there. >> @ because they're >> well, it's because they're cheaper alternatives. well, they're get they're not cheaper. you can get you mcdonald's, get you can mcdonald's, you can get a full meal for 3.99. well, they're that is objectively they're all that is objectively a alternative. they're all that is objectively a let's alternative. they're all that is objectively a let's talkernative. they're all that is objectively a let's talk about'e. >> let's talk about food poverty. let's talk about obesity. we talk the junk obesity. we talk about the junk food readily available food that's readily available now. food places we're now. the fast food places we're seeing, we're telling people that in that off the country's in poverty. our kids are starving .
