12:05 am
british public with promises and stupid slogans , the only people stupid slogans, the only people lacking logic right now is the sleepwalking conservative government who will lose the election this year if they don't immediately back immediately announce a turn back policy like australia did ten years ago. prime ministers tony abbott and scott morrison intercept two dinghies in the ocean, put migrants on unsinkable lifeboats and either send them to where they send them back to where they came or to offshore came from or to offshore processing sites and you know what happened? the crossing stopped immediately, and abbott won re—election. so, look, forget rwanda, it's finished. stop keir starmer and show you care about britain by declaring the small boats crisis a national security threat and send those back those boats back directly to where they came from . that's my say, benjamin . um, . that's my say, benjamin. um, what do you reckon about that? let's turn these boats back. >> well, the stupidity of your argument, i'll of argument, and i'll sort of narrow it down to just one stupidity. >> that very polite? >> is that very polite? >> is that very polite? >> these back. unless >> turn these boats back. unless you have a deal with france, which exactly what keir which is exactly what keir starmer should have. which is exactly what keir starmer if should have. which is exactly what keir starmer if you're should have. which is exactly what keir starmer if you're notshould have. which is exactly what keir starmer if you're not workingave. because if you're not working with they're not on the
12:06 am
with them, if they're not on the same page as you, then it's no point them back because point turning them back because they'll come straight back they'll just come straight back again. >> well, won't if we've got >> well, they won't if we've got navy the middle of the navy ships in the middle of the of english channel, of the english channel, physically stopping them from from crossing that 12 mile border, what are they going to do? >> good luck lining 12 miles with ships for tiny little with navy ships for tiny little dinghies are. well, why not? >> we we're not? >> w e we'r e ha ppy not? >> we we're happy enough to get involved sea and play involved in the red sea and play world in the gulf of aden world police in the gulf of aden and the suez canal. why can't we protect our own, our own borders? >> so to clarify, saying >> so to clarify, you're saying that should bomb the that the raf should bomb the boats? i mean, what's got to boats? i mean, what's it got to do the red sea? do with the red sea? >> mentioned bombing. >> i never mentioned bombing. >> i never mentioned bombing. >> doing in the >> that's what i'm doing in the red sea. >> you hysterical again? >> you being hysterical again? as hysterical by comparing as as hysterical by comparing the the sea, the channel to the red sea, where terrorists are attacking british and israeli and american. >> well let's be. nothing >> well let's be. it's nothing like >> well let's be. it's nothing uke the >> well let's be. it's nothing like the truth is, you'll like that. the truth is, you'll just ever more just come up with ever more hysterical ideas shoot and hysterical ideas to shoot and attack sorry and attack and be violent. sorry and win when actually the win plaudits when actually the sensible to sit down sensible idea is to sit down with the french and a with the french and have a proper worst ever. proper worst idea ever. >> worst idea ever. the idea that the solution lies with the eu , who is incapable of dealing
12:07 am
eu, who is incapable of dealing with a migrant crisis ipsis itself. that is why the eu is turning to the far right. that is why they are losing control of their borders because they can't cope. the idea we look to them for lessons, guidance and help is ridiculous. what we need to do. in part absolutely . to do. yes, in part absolutely. we turn the boats back safely to france, to the safety of france. is one idea, but it will not stop. ben it will not stop until until sir, until we raise the bar of who gets accepted as an asylum seeker in this country, we accept three times as many as france , twice as many as the france, twice as many as the national eu. we are overgenerous. we provide them with three star hotels. as you said , dentistry, all the stuff said, dentistry, all the stuff it needs to stop of. >> riley, did you see that lad there in the hotel counting out his cash in front of. put them in tents like they do in calais? darren hysterical. benjamin here thinks australia the, thinks that australia is the, uh. possibly uh. it couldn't have possibly have the back. we have turned the boats back. we can't copy them. they did it and
12:08 am
the boats stopped in their tracks. why can't we it? tracks. why can't we do it? >> these >> well, they had these beautiful orange life boats that were they were unsinkable, that they placed and then placed migrants in and then turned sent them to turned them back or sent them to be processed elsewhere. and they never australia. so never made it to australia. so whilst think anyone was whilst i don't think anyone was trying for second trying to suggest for a second that stop throwing that we should stop throwing missiles the english channel, missiles in the english channel, which parts of our which may well hit parts of our own waters. so that own territorial waters. so that would somewhat reckless. but would be somewhat reckless. but i think that there is an obvious no, didn't. no, we didn't. >> so stupid. >> don't be so stupid. >> don't be so stupid. >> what saying was that >> what ben was saying was that actually, we're doing better actually, we're doing a better job sea than we job policing the red sea than we are. english channel. i are. the english channel. and i think that is a perfectly think that that is a perfectly viable because we're viable argument because we're not policing the english channel at all. in fact, we're saying come one, come all to bed, board and benefits in england. naughty nana. >> come on, what have we got? >> come on, what have we got? >> well, i'm going to listen. i got in trouble with gary lineker when i said that you should turn the boats back. i agreed with priti patel's turn back policy and literally to and literally people tried to gouge my eyes out for daring to suggest glad that we suggest it. so i'm glad that we can now calmly not including
12:09 am
you, can calmly you, benji, but we can calmly say turning the boats back say that turning the boats back would good option. the only would be a good option. the only hole your argument that we hole in your argument is that we have huge numbers in mass. leave migration, our migration, and that's our our actual problem. but yeah, i'd say actually if they don't really want to the boats really want to turn the boats back, ships in back, put big cruise ships in there, you not put them on there, do you not put them on there, do you not put them on the ship and then you can the cruise ship and then you can turn back? turn them back? >> you not think if sunak >> do you not think if sunak tomorrow woke up and said, right, going turn these right, we're going to turn these boats back, no more going to come. win the election heartbeat. >> uh, yeah, i think he would. but unfortunately, you know what it the of lords it is? the house of lords will probably ideas his it is? the house of lords will prob mps ideas his it is? the house of lords will prob mps would ideas his it is? the house of lords will prob mps would all ideas his it is? the house of lords will prob mps would all oppose his it is? the house of lords will prob mps would all oppose it. and own mps would all oppose it. and then we'd be in this 2 or 3 thing and nothing would happen. and in the end, the home and then in the end, the home secretary, would secretary, whoever would be fired have the home fired and they'd have the home secretary, number 10, there's absolutely no political will in the to the conservative party to suspend bad suspend or ignore bad international that puts our international law that puts our country at risk. >> they're cowards. they >> they're all cowards. they won't upset the french. they're too scared. want too scared. they want to schmooze with their international pals and drink champagne office champagne at the foreign office while about while talking about the deplorables us. deplorables and laughing at us. >> sorry, belinda, this >> i'm sorry, belinda, this might pass for a good policy in

12:25 am
sharon in scarborough or any law abiding brit foot the bill for this house today, 1700 police officers from across the country were deployed to police these processions , a gross processions, a gross misallocation of resources that could be better. used to tackling real crime . the tackling real crime. the leaflets distributed celebrate in hamas. they're not just tactics, but a blatant endorsement of terror, a mockery of our values and our laws. these aren't the actions of progressive . that's what they're progressive. that's what they're calling themselves. they're the hallmarks of barbarism. the crowds eagerness to attack unarmed cargo ships and their disdain for the uk and the usa illustrate a dangerous shift in narrative stand in there with a thanks to yemen. wow now standing against terrorism . once standing against terrorism. once a common virtue, it's now been overshadowed by support for groups like the houthis, who've reintroduced slavery in yemen and systemically violate the
12:26 am
rights of women and girls. how now? progressive london, now a breeding ground for these hate marches, is being funded by us, the taxpayers, elsewhere . and i the taxpayers, elsewhere. and i say it's high time we all said not in my name . cheers very much i >> -- >> darren. you said yemen with such gusto there. can we can we hearit such gusto there. can we can we hear it again? >> yemen wasn't quite the same as the first time. >> oh, no, you said yemen, right? >> okay, well, speaking of yemen , i mean, even benjamin, you are actually good. actually pretty good. i retweeted you earlier because you said i forget what it you had said i forget what it was, but i'll say it, you see. >> uh, well, no, you saw you used that image of the person saying thank. used that image of the person saying thank . you, yemen, which saying thank. you, yemen, which is utterly shocking because how notable that those people who so riotously attacked israel for the loss of life in gaza, now found themselves supporting the houthi rebels, were far more than 8000 muslims have been killed in yemen in order for
12:27 am
them to take over what had been a democratically elected government. and it seems . like government. and it seems. like those people that were taking the moral high ground in their attacks on israel and the tragic loss of life there's been in that part of the world now don't care about the morality at all or invasion at all, or bombing at all. actually what they hate is they're anti—semites and they hate the west. >> that's a really interesting point, belinda, because i saw one of the activists who's put together the events today was doing an interview with the chinese state television for europe. and i thought, hang on a minute, you're all right. doing china state television, despite what the chinese have done to the uyghur muslims . but you're the uyghur muslims. but you're campaigning on the behalf of muslims, you say, and not against well in favour of what i view as vehement jew hate. yeah. and that's what it is, isn't it? this is ultimately what this boils down to. >> well, you don't see protests against all the horrific deaths in syria. the discrimination of
12:28 am
muslims in china. you don't see any of it. the my god, the islamist terror has been a curse on this world from the christians being slaughtered in nigeria haram to the al nigeria by boko haram to the al shabab, to al—qaeda i mean, islamist terror has now got its useful idiots on the streets of this country. and i'm sick to death of seeing these protests. i don't think should get i don't think they should get a money taxpayer. i'm money from the taxpayer. i'm actually to death seeing actually sick to death of seeing the not the palestinian flag. not because huge because i don't have huge compassion for all those innocent are harmed , innocent who are being harmed, but because it is so strongly associated with islamist terror and who apologise for and those who apologise for islamist terror and excuse islamist terror and excuse islamist terror and excuse islamist terror. islamist terror and excuse islamist terror . and you see a islamist terror. and you see a lot of that on the marches and anti—semitism. it needs to be out of our country, out of our streets , out. bring the english streets, out. bring the english flag back for once. >> well, i agree with you on your show since october the 7th have always highlighted the fact that jews in that actually people jews in britain, safe and britain, don't feel safe and especially london. especially in london. do you think london's lost? >> well, i think it is truly lost. i don't know what has happened people . i'm sick to
12:29 am
happened to people. i'm sick to my back teeth sometimes when i'm listening radio shows or listening to some radio shows or whatever here gb whatever. none are here on gb news, add. and you're news, i might add. and you're heanng news, i might add. and you're hearing people call and hearing people call up and they're support people they're in support of the people of gaza. the though, you of gaza. in the end, though, you start listening and gradually they get to the crux of it, where they're almost excusing october as though it october the 7th as though it didn't they've forgotten october the 7th as though it did about they've forgotten october the 7th as though it did about it, they've forgotten october the 7th as though it did about it, and 1ey've forgotten october the 7th as though it did about it, and they're orgotten all about it, and they're already now , you know, saying, already now, you know, saying, oh, don't anyone die. oh, we don't want anyone to die. and really and all this. but really ultimately it is some ultimately behind it is some sort of anti—semitism. i'm sort of anti—semitism. and i'm actually i've never seen this before. i have as a, as a black woman, not faced as much racism as i've seen anti—semitism in this country. and i'm completely shocked by it. i had no idea that this is what what it was all about. and now when i see people, you know, you have queers for palestine. it's like, oh, hold on a minute. have you seen christmas? have you seen what they have done to some gay people? come on. you have people who don't understand what they're saying when they're chanting from the river to the sea. they don't know what it
12:30 am
means. they're just getting onto sea. they don't know what it metband hey're just getting onto sea. they don't know what it metband wagon ust getting onto sea. they don't know what it metband wagon of: getting onto sea. they don't know what it metband wagon of something.to sea. they don't know what it metband wagon of something. and the band wagon of something. and i look at it, it's i think if you look at it, it's actually quite ugly. >> as as >> yeah, as far as i'm concerned, the people go on concerned, the people that go on to of london and to the streets of london and support hamas and even today trying the houthi trying to big up the houthi rebels, might be british on rebels, they might be british on papen paper, but they're not displaying paper, but they're not displaypride and idealisms. one british pride and idealisms. one thing i will say, though , of thing i will say, though, of course israel has the right to defend itself. i've said that since the start. however, there is growing now and even is growing pressure now and even a growing consciousness among world you had joe biden world leaders. you had joe biden a of back, ben a couple of weeks back, ben wallace, all wallace, david cameron all saying now that the consciousness . of these world consciousness. of these world leaders, these people who've been behind so many walls themselves, joe biden, the warmongering, i mean, let let me finish, i was going on to the point that according to hamas and actually the un seems to agree with a rough kind of figure that some 8000 children have now died in palestine. and i just don't know how long israel can. >> those are any death of a child is obviously appalling, and are figures from and those are figures from hamas. phrase , you hamas. you hear this phrase, you know, whether it's 1 or it
12:31 am
know, whether it's 1 or 8000, it doesn't matter. it's gaza and health. ministry, the health. health ministry, the gaza the gaza gaza health ministry, the gaza health ministry is the arm of health ministry is the pr arm of hamas. made up. hamas. it is a totally made up. >> i said, the un has has >> as i said, the un has has pretty much agreed with it. they said well, course said a thousand. well, of course they they have, they of course they have, because the because you currently have the un hosting south africa's farcical genocide claim, benjamin, to say benjamin, in which just to say south country had benjamin, in which just to say s0|problem country had benjamin, in which just to say s0|problem (abstained had no problem and abstained on russia in in invading ukraine and innocent ukrainian and murdering innocent ukrainian children and men women, they children and men and women, they had problem with that. children and men and women, they hacthey�*roblem with that. children and men and women, they hacthey werem with that. children and men and women, they hacthey were oneith that. children and men and women, they hacthey were one of that. children and men and women, they hacthey were one of trhandful of >> they were one of a handful of countries abstain . countries to abstain. >> but apparently politicians standing it's we standing up and saying it's we kill the white people, kill the standing up and saying it's we kill trfarmers,3eople, kill the standing up and saying it's we kill trfarmers, andle, kill the standing up and saying it's we kill trfarmers, and nowill the standing up and saying it's we kill trfarmers, and now they're white farmers, and now they're turning accusing israel. >> the only thing i would i would disagree and i would disagree with briefly, is disagree with nana briefly, is this that london is lost is this idea that london is lost is not fair, because think the not fair, because i think the vast people vast majority of people in london, britain, do london, as in britain, do not take views even if they take these views even if they can't go out on weekend, take these views even if they can'tthe out on weekend, take these views even if they can'tthe protest weekend, take these views even if they can'tthe protest . weekend, take these views even if they can'tthe protest . i weekend, take these views even if they can'tthe protest . i don't end, take these views even if they can'tthe protest . i don't think stop the protest. i don't think protest should pay for them because exactly how because that's not exactly how a democratic every week works, right? >> we're going to move on. uh, i would on that final point. i'm going to i'm presenting this show, so going to get the
12:32 am
show, so i'm going to get the final would london final point. i would say london is doesn't feel like an is lost. it doesn't feel like an engush is lost. it doesn't feel like an english city. and it english city. and i've said it on before. on this show before. anyway still come nana akua still to come tonight, nana akua will be discussing the dangers of vehicles of electric vehicles and benjamin stuck into, benjamin gets stuck into, uh, prince royal prince andrew and the royal lodge should he be kicked out. more that after this. stay more of that after this. stay with .

12:35 am
radio. >> welcome back to the saturday five. very feisty show. and as always, we appreciate your emails as well. even the nasty ones. let's grab a couple now. sue says tell the immigrants they'll have to do two years national service when they get here. i bet that would stop the influx and act deterrent. influx and act as a deterrent. not idea. i actually think not a bad idea. i actually think we bring that back for we should bring that back for national service for kids 16 to 18 year olds might, um, teach these gen zers a thing or two, and, uh, shel says, good evening, shel. there's hate speech, hateful chants , support speech, hateful chants, support for calls for jihad ,
12:36 am
for islamists, calls for jihad, and now support for the houthis going there. going on in there. >> ridiculous . >> it's just ridiculous. >> it's just ridiculous. >> all this is this is not london anymore . london anymore. >> how is this legal? it's disgusting. that's the point, isn't it? it's so it's got such a ridiculous point that it's just laughable. >> but these people, if they saw them, anyway. them, would shoot them anyway. these people are supposedly they think holding up think they should be holding up the darling, absolute >> darling, you'd be absolute imprisoned married off for imprisoned and married off for eight if you're in eight years old. if you're in yemen mate. yemen, mate. >> one other email saying >> we had one other email saying , darren and benjamin , uh, are darren and benjamin a couple? um, not sure if there's some flirtation going there. some flirtation going on there. almost and also, when is when is benjamin going to lay into the pensioners? well, i can tell you now up next and he's going now he's up next and he's going to prince andrew it to lay into prince andrew as it is and ask whether he should be evicted royal house in evicted from his royal house in windsor great park. take it away, benjamin. >> not quite >> yeah, he's not quite a pensioner, is pensioner, but, uh, he is getting my nerves getting on my nerves nonetheless. it's about nonetheless. i think it's about time we ended the farce of prince andrew and his royal perks. we've had yet another week of appalling allegations about the prince. it was claimed this week that he had , uh,
12:37 am
this week that he had, uh, massages daily while on the island of, uh, jeffrey epstein, the disgraced paedophile that he kept a friendship with. there were even disputed claims about sex videos of the prince, how disgusting. now, as you always have to say, he denies all these claims very strongly. and yet the claims keep coming and this is embarrassing. our royal family. he is in undermining the entire institution and while doing so, the royals us, our money are putting him up in a 30 room royal lodge. now this is a disgrace. quite frankly . disgrace. quite frankly. apparently he's been hiding in one room in that royal lodge for the past week because he was so nervous about the allegations that out. look, it's that came out. look, it's a disgrace that he gets a grace and favour house from taxpayers and favour house from taxpayers and from the royal family. i think it's about time that the king used his sausage fingers to kick out prince andrew from his freebie home. in fact, anyone else that doesn't have a job to go to would be on a council
12:38 am
estate in slough. i think for the sake of the royal family if he's to keep his job as his keep his title as a prince, then we stick him out on the council estate in slough and get rid of him. >> can you stop? can you stop dissing slough? >> get a job as well. >> he can get a job as well. actually i actually whilst he's at it, i doubt there's lots of doubt that in there's lots of jobs going. >> i'll just before you start, benjamin, just say prince benjamin, i'll just say prince andrew of course strenuously denies allegations. he says denies any allegations. he says he even met his accuser, he never even met his accuser, virginia giuffre. >> said in monologue, >> as i said in my monologue, yes don't want yes, uh, belinda, i don't want to cancelled. to get cancelled. >> all right. to get cancelled. >> belinda,. to get cancelled. >> belinda, i, uh, belinda, what do make of. do you make of. >> i am no fan of prince andrew, but say this, i feel but i would say this, i feel very honour bound to our late queen. her son, and queen. and it's her son, and he's as messed up, and i think he's as messed up, and i think he should go and live a quiet life somewhere away from royal family. and stop bringing its reputation into disrepute. i completely agree with that. but i think completely demonising and dehumanising a man before he's been charged, before he's been found guilty of anything in sort of hysterical rants, not
12:39 am
that yours was hysterical rants, benjamin, but i'm just saying, i think we just need to be careful that, you know, it could happen to us. we could to any one of us. we could suddenly have massive allegations way. are allegations thrown our way. are you list? well, but you on the list? well, no. but for the alleged , the for example, the alleged, the alleged videos and things like that, there's just no evidence there substantial there needs to be substantial evidence, i think, before accusations can be taken seriously. want seriously. i want him to disappear. doing disappear. i think he's doing harm family. harm to the royal family. i agree with you, but i do think we also need to edge on the on the just the side caution the just the side of caution when we're completely demonising the queen's son. just because i feel to the queen as feel loyalty to the queen as well, give him more of a well, to give him a more of a fairer shout. >> if you're very, very >> if you're being very, very generous to andrew, think his generous to andrew, i think his worst, worst piece of worst, um, his worst piece of behaviour just little behaviour is just being a little bit isn't it? bit thick and stupid. isn't it? putting yourself in that position? absolutely. position? well, absolutely. >> mandelson , >> but i, peter mandelson, andrew was andrew peter mandelson was photographed . with jeffrey photographed. with jeffrey epstein. should peter mandelson be disgraced from public life and removed all outright? >> i've a feeling >> i mean, i've got a feeling that mandelson wasn't that peter mandelson wasn't accused of having , you know, accused of having, you know, intimate moments with with women
12:40 am
on the island, given he's a homosexual. >> but what what's the actual accusation that you're saying should prince andrew from should remove prince andrew from pubuc should remove prince andrew from public well, the public life? well, the accusations , which again, he accusations, which again, he denies, he paid denies, but for which he paid $12 million or pounds to virginia giuffre over her claims of being sleeping with her when he was seven, without a shadow of a doubt they are of a doubt that they are absolutely true. of a doubt that they are absilutely true. of a doubt that they are absi think true. of a doubt that they are absi think thee. of a doubt that they are absi think the people in this >> i think the people in this country have their mind up, country have made their mind up, and is when you and the fact is that when you have that scenario, every time he and he was seen today he is seen and he was seen today doing a shooting with doing a shooting weekend with friends, know, what a so friends, you know, what a so what can't he go what guy, why can't he go shooting friends? well shooting with friends? well actually i think that he is disgracing royal disgracing the royal family every shows and every time he shows his face and he refuses to leave public life as much as we decided that arrogant and stupid buffoon is bringing down our royal family. you had a shooting isn't exactly trooping the colour , is it? you trooping the colour, is it? you had a poll this week that found that 48% of people support the monarchy , the first time it's monarchy, the first time it's ever gone under 50. that was from that was from from republic, that was from anti—monarchy republic. >> wants to destroy i >> who wants to destroy them? i
12:41 am
think that's convenient. >> needs to know some backbone. the kind backbone the the kind of backbone that the queen well for the kind of backbone that the que�*kick well for the kind of backbone that the que�*kick out well for the kind of backbone that the que�*kick out and well for the kind of backbone that the que�*kick out and do ll for the kind of backbone that the que�*kick out and do you for the kind of backbone that the que�*kick out and do you knowor what? >> look, i think he's had a bit a bit of a ride this a bit of a rough ride on this one know, there are one because, you know, there are no there's no proof of any of the things that have been alleged anyway. know, alleged anyway. and, you know, if an intrusion there alleged anyway. and, you know, if horrendous. intrusion there alleged anyway. and, you know, if horrendous. butision there alleged anyway. and, you know, if horrendous. but he n there alleged anyway. and, you know, if horrendous. but he in:here alleged anyway. and, you know, if horrendous. but he in are are horrendous. but he in a sense could be guilty by association, which is, i think, association, which is, i think, a little bit unfair. also so i think he paid that money because he knew his mother was dying and he knew his mother was dying and he want her to have he didn't want her to have a rough year or in a final rough year or so. in a final moment . no, no, but they paid moment. no, no, but they paid it. he allowed it to go that way instead of just, know, instead of just, you know, fighting charges and so i fighting the charges and so i think that's, you know, did think that's, you know, he did what he could. >> he royal duties now. >> he has no royal duties now. he's been relieved of all of those. and so why should someone that work for that isn't doing any work for the a the british public gets such a fancy house on the diamond? >> why should anyone a fancy >> why should anyone get a fancy hat? i he's he is a prince hat? i mean, he's he is a prince by birth. it's not his fault. >> he i, i do agree he >> he i, i do agree that he should has so >> reputation has been so damaged by this that he now
12:42 am
can't perform any of the duties that he was literally born. >> reputation is damaged by the fact that he's an idiot, right? emily maitlis interview told us all what want . all what you want. >> we him in the >> should we whip him in the streets ? streets? >> no. what will be? >> no. what will be? >> that's jeremy clarkson >> that's what jeremy clarkson would do. >> the point as said >> the point is, as i said a second if you're being very second ago, if you're being very , generous andrew, it's , very generous to andrew, it's that just incredibly that he's just been incredibly thick like thick and stupid, much like prince harry. a lot of the time. he hasn't that he just hasn't got that shrewdness to shrewdness about him of how to behave royal. he hang out behave as a royal. he hang out with epstein, uh, a couple of years after epstein years at least, after epstein was for , for was first prosecuted for, for messing around with under age or trafficked girls. that displays a severe lack of judgement. and for that alone, he risks bringing down the monarchy and at best clouding the monarchy. in in a in a cloud of disgrace and embarrassment. so he needs to drop the arrogance and just go off, as benjamin said, go off somewhere he has. >> what else do you want him to do? >> he hasn't. there's rumours that, well, hey, he needs. >> should we lock him in the tower of london?
12:43 am
