plan. >> why are people angry? they're just angry and check this out. not only that, move exclusive move to keep immigration on agenda sparks fear and derision in the guardian. >> yeah, from anyone outside the guardian office. >> yeah, they were like, there's so much derision here in the office. i'm sure everyone else feels the same way, but i think most people in the country would go, yeah, the social housing would be good british would be good for british citizens. is 90% of citizens. the reality is 90% of social already is social housing is already is occupied british citizens . occupied by british citizens. but parts of london but in certain parts of london and different cities like brent in london, it's actually 40% of new social houses are led to foreign nationals. now, the foreign nationals. now, the foreign nationals. now, the foreign nationals who have now got settled status . so it's not got settled status. so it's not like refugees coming over and suddenly getting a home or whatever, but and some is, some is rented to hamas militants and hamas, as we suggest . hamas, as we suggest. >> there could be some tweaking to be done with the system. >> yeah. well, this idea that actually it's illegal according to really to equalities law, but really all need to do is all they need to do is strengthen the policies that gordon put in place, which

gordon brown put in place, which was people who was to prioritise the people who had to the had connections to the area, which essentially were which is essentially if you were born or family there. uh, born there or family there. uh, hence british citizens. what has british just like. exactly. yeah. so of course it's a good idea, but the actual derision that the guardian talks about, they don't say what the reason is. but for me, i do , uh, think is. but for me, i do, uh, think that i am full of derision , i that i am full of derision, i tell you that much, because. because there should be 100,000 of these homes built a year. and last i believe it was 9000 last year, i believe it was 9000 built. it's not been built. and it's just not been enough. regardless of any immigration, haven't had enough. regardless of any immigre social haven't had enough. regardless of any immigre social housing aven't had enough. regardless of any immigresocial housing built. had enough social housing built. >> but social housing, mean, >> but social housing, i mean, nicholas, libertarian, nicholas, as as a libertarian, as who believes the as somebody who believes in the free think free market, i don't think people should get free houses anyway. can they? can they get a job do and pay for house? >> well, you could argue for that, but we don't live in a libertarian utopia, right? some people need help. well, because as to as well, we still need to encourage people to have jobs in the of the first place instead of paying the first place instead of paying them to watch tv on the couches long. couches all day long. >> but anyway, you are doing >> but anyway, if you are doing that watching well that and watching gb news, well

done.i that and watching gb news, well done. i approve of that. >> especially you have of >> especially you have one of those little that gives us those little boxes that gives us our figures. >> don't think we have a big >> i don't think we have a big demographics viewers. demographics of gb news viewers. among couch potato crowd. among the couch potato crowd. thankfully hopefully, thankfully and hopefully, but one we decide one ounce. and if we decide to provide welfare state, provide a social welfare state, including social housing, it makes all the sense in the world to prioritise british people as long as the country is called britain. the problem is that critics say, yeah, it might be unworkable, it might be illegal because people arrive, because people who arrive, especially the they especially from the boats, they don't come houses their don't come with houses on their backs once are in backs and then once they are in and do need houses , if and if they do need houses, if they can't speak the language, if many of them are not in the conditions to, to, to join the job market, if they are sleeping on the streets, then we have another england. so another paris in in england. so it's tricky . i another paris in in england. so it's tricky. i have it's really tricky. i have a crazy idea. how about not letting them in the first letting them in in the first place? know, countries like, place? you know, countries like, uh, australia , i know uh, canada, australia, i know they are protected by oceans around they make sure they are protected by oceans aryoui they make sure they are protected by oceans aryou immigrate they make sure they are protected by oceans aryou immigrate to ey make sure they are protected by oceans aryou immigrate to those ke sure if you immigrate to those countries, already have countries, you already have enough and qualification enough money and qualification to be able to hit the ground

running , have a job immediately running, have a job immediately and have enough savings to sustain you over the first few months. when you in canada. months. when you land in canada. >> a sensible immigration >> so a sensible immigration policy, i mean, it's a crazy idea, but it might just work. moving one of the daily moving on, one of the daily telegraph got in the front cover necklace. >> pm forced to rule out army draft russian threat rises. draft as russian threat rises. so had different so we have had different european states panicking. we had this in sweden where people were to and buy by were encouraged to go and buy by um, emergency kits . sweden is um, emergency kits. sweden is just about to join nato and they've been scared by their officials. now in britain. we just heard this a few days ago that the army, the british military, is struggling just like the us military, just like the german military to recruit people in germany, for example , people in germany, for example, the government has suggested that even non german passport holders be allowed to serve in the military. guess what? apparently in the west, young people kind of reluctant to people are kind of reluctant to fight countries which have fight for countries which have been derided. and, you know, people willing to die people are not willing to die for infinite sodomy and africanization you know, who who would have thought, you know ,

would have thought, you know, africanization on earth is that? >> well , i that? >> well, i think, uh, nicholas is referring to open borders is referring to the open borders policy, where, you know, we don't actually have a country. we've got an economic platform with borders, isn't a with open borders, which isn't a country, uh, you know, suggests there's some sort of border. and, know, the country is and, you know, the country is defined border. defined by the border. >> i know if you're going >> i don't know if you're going to. just an to. well, which is just an example, but if we decide that the country is just a borderless mass amazon consumers and mass of amazon consumers and netflix watchers, right then it's very hard to tell people, you know , i think we're going to you know, i think we're going to cover story later. people cover this story later. people are told, hey, do not sing are being told, hey, do not sing rule but do you rule britannia, but do you actually and for actually mind going and die for britannia against russians? britannia against the russians? >> yeah, george, >> well, yeah, george, i mean, this this is the problem. this is this is the problem. we've got a generation that has either got purple hair and pronouns too weak to pronouns and is too weak to fight, or generation fight, uh, or a generation that's grown being hated that's grown up being hated by those and put in those people and being put in the bottom rung of society by those people. we've got anti—white laws, anti—white hiring laws, you know, through diversity, equity and inclusion departments. so i mean , i can't see that mean, i can't see that a population that's just been

that's just been, um, you know, pooped on for so long is going to be, you know, wanting to fight for a regime, which is why conscription is a good idea, right? >> they have it. you know, you mentioned sweden, i believe they have it in sweden. they've got a bunch of those countries. they go for a year or two and it sets them life. you know, them up, uh, for life. you know, we have obesity issues anyway. it's it helps social cohesion in israel. into the israel. everybody goes into the army and it's a big part of their life afterwards. they all serve in the army like a month, a year until they're in their 40s. and we're talking not 40s. yeah. and we're talking not just jewish people, we're talking bedouins, uh, talking arabs, bedouins, uh, different religious types as well. the more orthodox well. the more the orthodox there was an issue with orthodox jews going into the army, jews not going into the army, but are now certainly with but more are now certainly with what on october 7th. so what happened on october 7th. so the point is, this is a good idea. as a story as a whole, idea. but as a story as a whole, this is one of those kind of thick it stories where where thick of it stories where where you up. it'sjust thick of it stories where where you up. it's just the you had made up. it's just the whole story a thing whole story is just a thing where someone said something in whole story is just a thing wspeech�*neone said something in whole story is just a thing wspeech and1e said something in whole story is just a thing wspeech and nowid something in whole story is just a thing wspeech and nowid siprime ng in a speech and now the prime minister his office, someone, minister or his office, someone, the head of this would never

happen. it'sjust the head of this would never happen. it's just it's just it's occupied front page for occupied the front page for a couple didn't need couple of days. it didn't need to happen, but to be fair, that someone the head of the someone is the head of the british army, so it's not like somebody, you know, he somebody, you know, obviously he just wants more money for the army. >> e’- e’— @ election year. uh, >> he's it's election year. uh, moving what's on the front moving on. what's on the front cover of the daily mail? >> first class fiasco, backlash over plan for royal mail that >> first class fiasco, backlash over psee for royal mail that >> first class fiasco, backlash over psee lettersal mail that >> first class fiasco, backlash over psee letters land|il that >> first class fiasco, backlash over psee letters land inthat >> first class fiasco, backlash over psee letters land in your could see letters land in your mattress so mattress three days a week. so this is ofcom. who are, you know, friends uh know, the best friends here? uh and basically said and they have basically said it's right. they like, it's all right. they were like, yeah, sure, royal mail, it's okay. i mean, sure, when you went people, all went private and people, uh, all that money out to your that money goes out to your shareholders, actually shareholders, which actually includes £450, uh, of includes me. uh £450, uh, of shares is, uh, probably worth a lot less now. i should think so. >> watch your words. >> watch your words. >> what do you say now? >> what do you say now? >> well, but but but the point was, it was like the whole thing was, it was like the whole thing was the service had to stay the same. yeah, but saying all of that ten years ago or so, that from ten years ago or so, is now there's a lot less is that now there's a lot less letters. there's about a half amount. no, not half the amount. but it's going to be even 4 million letters less in another

few years. so the service is being over by a lot of being taken over by a lot of parcels and um, but the pm again has had to step in or his office has had to step in or his office has said, no, we're not going to allow it to go down to three days. >> but nicholas, i mean, one of the problems with the royal mail is they've got these, uh, these universal service obligations. they've the entire they've got to cover the entire country, when not country, even when it's not economically for them economically beneficial for them to got deliver to do so, they've got to deliver six days a uh, they're six days a week. uh, but they're they're with they're in competition with private aren't, private companies that aren't, aren't, to abide by aren't, don't have to abide by these same rules . so it's one of these same rules. so it's one of those hybrid situations. >> have royal mail >> again, we have royal mail which the, know, which gives you the, you know, the sense that it's a national service and it is a national service. but been service. but it has been privatised. one of those unhappy privatisation british, just privatisation in british, just like companies. uh, like the railway companies. uh, and question is to and now the question is how to define in role of private define in the role of private excuse me, royal mail in um conducting this national service because let's not, not forget that, for example, some, uh, industries like the magazine publishers like greeting card, uh, publishers, they need for example, weekend deliveries as

well to survive. >> yeah. no, it's only for people who send the birthday cards late. right >> guess what? if they can't >> and guess what? if they can't stand up to their, you know, fulfil their duty. there's even talk of a taxpayer, a taxpayer supported bailout, another failing the whole point of it. >> but also it's like, well, why make it three times a week? why don't we just make it once a week? yeah. why don't we make it once every two weeks? where does it end if it's about saving their money, it'll become your private company. you signed a deal private company. you signed a deait'll like the bins >> it'll become like the bins and quickly, what >> it'll become like the bins and the quickly, what >> it'll become like the bins and the daily quickly, what >> it'll become like the bins and the daily star? kly, what >> it'll become like the bins and the daily star? what hat >> it'll become like the bins and the daily star? what holy have the daily star? what holy wisdom they got in the wisdom have they got in the front cover today? >> hallelujah. um, as you can see, the picture of a drunken man. a drunken uh, man. uh a drunken priest, uh, british who that british tv viewers know who that is. the good news that is. but the good news is that this pope, has been an this pope, which has been an abject for the catholic abject display for the catholic community, finally community, has finally said something good, that something good, has said that just and alcohol just like sex, wine and alcohol is a pleasure. and is a gift from god. so at last linked as well . well. >> is he just trying to be popular ? he's like, yeah, booze

popular? he's like, yeah, booze is great. >> yeah, and sex is great. >> yeah, and sex is great. >> he's based in in the centre of italy, in the vatican. you know, ancient romans said, we know, ancient romans said, we know veritas. the truth is in wine. course, italians wine. and of course, italians have been fiercely resisting pressure from the eu put pressure from the eu to put health advice and health warning labels on their wine products on the beers. so this is good news. and at long last, the pope has said something we can get behind. >> jesus loves wine. yeah it was one of his miracles. >> he's a manufacturer. >> he's a manufacturer. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> a lot of monks make very good wine. jesus, buckfast abbey, >> so jesus, buckfast abbey, very in scotland . very popular in scotland. >> anyway, that's the front pages done the bit. pages done in the next bit. we've got trump winning a russian down and rishi russian jet shot down and rishi clashing with posties. we'll be back jiffy. envelope

>> we have in the royal family, the working royals of course. now, princess in hospital . now, princess in hospital. welcome back to headliners with me, leo carson. >> i'm still here with josh howie and nicholas de santo kicking things off with the guardian. and it looks like

ukraine might have shot down a russian plane carrying ukrainian prisoners of war. or is this just russian spin? josh? yeah, russia accuses kyiv of downing a plane carrying the ukrainian prisoners of war. >> there's some footage out there. um which we haven't bothered to show, but sorry. uh and yeah, it's pretty dramatic . and yeah, it's pretty dramatic. you see the plane crashing instantly when it happened, as you say , conspiracy theories or you say, conspiracy theories or different motivations. it's like you can't trust russia. you can't trust really anybody to go with saying all of that . uh, i with saying all of that. uh, i received from a reliable all source , uh, some evidence that source, uh, some evidence that the plane was actually coming from egypt, which wouldn't make sense . you texted me, leo. yeah. sense. you texted me, leo. yeah. i mean, that's what i'm not. >> i'm not totally sure that it was. there's. i mean, there's so much disinformation in this war, nicholas. and we've seen, i mean, even even being certain who shot it down when it was first shot down. we've seen so

much friendly fire of russian air defences shooting down their own planes. uh that the instant assumption was russia had shot down one of its own planes. again, it turns out it was actually ukraine. uh, and there's some speculation as to whether this is russian brinksmanship, where they deliberately didn't inform ukraine about this , uh, this ukraine about this, uh, this this plane full of prisoners of war to, to sort of foment this occurring and get ukraine to, to shoot it down and create a pubuc shoot it down and create a public relations nightmare like that. public relations nightmare like that . or they could just be that. or they could just be lying or they could be telling the truth. lying or they could be telling the which one is it? come on, >> which one is it? come on, nicholas, sad story . nicholas, it's a sad story. >> see, especially if it's true. but it the ukrainians have neither denied nor confirmed it. but the plane was shot down. uh, reported . in the region of reported. in the region of belgorod. which is? which is the russian region bordering ukraine. and it's the main channel for supplying russian forces these also these, forces through these also these, um, transport planes. this is an ilyushin 276, especially used for transporting military cargo,

military personnel. so and ukrainians have been shutting down planes in that that area. chances are they were not properly informed , as they claim properly informed, as they claim that this was actually what part of those prisoner exchange exchanges and mistakenly , they exchanges and mistakenly, they have shut it down, presuming this was going to supply russians with with fresh reinforcements. >> yeah. well, moving on, we've got the financial times now and trump's coronation as the republican candidate looks all but inevitable unless the clintons decide he wants to commit suicide. >> donald trump wins new >> nicolas donald trump wins new hampshire primary but nikki haley vows to fight on. so the, uh, the republican primaries was already fated accompli or a done deal after iowa. now this one has sealed it. nikki haley surprisingly , has not, uh, bowed surprisingly, has not, uh, bowed out yet. maybe she wants to go down to carolina, south carolina in about 2 or 3 weeks time. get some delegates there, maybe trade it off for some some position in the future for potential future. donald trump administration. but trump has already made history, no matter

how this goes, because he will be the first us president or the first candidate since the times of, uh, fdr, franklin roosevelt. if he wins eventually to have won three presidential terms, how about that? and if he loses, he's the first candidate in modern times who have tried to win a third time. uh, third presidential terms after having won two presidential terms. yeah. so it's quite remarkable. it must be pretty popular with everybody. >> josh, they love him. >> josh, they love him. >> well, you know what? democrats want him to win the nomination because that's what's going to galvanise their base. and actually there's a lot of evidence that, um, nikki haley appeals to those centrist voters. well, she's 17 points ahead of biden in the polls. >> i mean, trump is also ahead, but only by only by 2.9 points. so, i mean, do you think the democrats are playing a dangerous game by trying to manoeuvre trump into a position, dangerous game, but they're playing dangerous game even playing a dangerous game by even having the ticket. having joe biden on the ticket. >> and having kamala harris,

>> uh, and having kamala harris, as we think far, the vp as we think so far, being the vp as we think so far, being the vp as if they could get as well, if they could get someone else in as vp, that would make it a lot more appealing. >> josh is absolutely >> i think josh is absolutely right. not just democrats, right. and not just democrats, but, israel and this but, uh, on on israel and this issue, we are always on the same line. um not just democrats, but legacy media do not quite know what to do with this because on the one hand, they want trump so badly because it gives them viewer figures. it makes people tune in to whether it's the cnn or new york times. but on the other hand, they claim trump is hitler. hitler, you hitler. if trump is hitler, you certainly get behind ron certainly must get behind ron desantis you mocked desantis that you mocked relentlessly, or nikki haley that again, they're not behind her because they they do want trump because they think that trump, first of all, gives them viewership. and secondly, uh, they these legal they think with all these legal cases , they have trumped up for cases, they have trumped up for trump. are more likely to trump. they are more likely to beat him in the elections. yeah some symbiosis in some strange symbiosis in political relationships. >> the >> well, we've got the independent now and councils are getting a massive bailout. it's almost if the public sector almost as if the public sector

is inherently useless and wasteful and should be cut back . wasteful and should be cut back. >> josh almost no, it no . >> josh almost no, it is no. well, let's see sunak specifically , it's almost like specifically, it's almost like we've had a tory government who've cut them back to a wick. are you joking? who've cut them back to a wick. are cut joking? who've cut them back to a wick. are cut the. ng? who've cut them back to a wick. are cut the. we've people talk >> cut the. we've people talk about austerity . are you joking? about austerity. are you joking? look at your payslip . look how look at your payslip. look how much money goes off in tax . much money goes off in tax. >> i'm scared. i'm not saying that. but a lot of that money is also being wasted by central government. yeah. >> not saying >> oh i'm not. i'm not saying central government doesn't waste money. all government just waste money. all government just waste money sunak hans council 600 >> well, sunak hans council 600 million in emergency bailout amid cash crisis. we did a story amid cash crisis. we did a story a few months ago about how much money count local councils because responsible because they're responsible for children and for homeless people or and those or people in need. and those have been outsourced to private companies who are charging an absolute fortune . so it's of absolute fortune. so it's of course, costing us more money. this is one of many, many unnecessary , you know, if we pay unnecessary, you know, if we pay way over the odds for nurses because we have to get temporary nurses, if we paid that money instead into recruiting more

nurses or recruiting the bill will always be due. at the end of the day. and now it's due for this stuff. and that's why we need these hundreds of millions extra. >> but there's also a huge amount the in the amount of waste in the in the pubuc amount of waste in the in the public sector. nicholas. mean, public sector. nicholas. i mean, we just a week ago we saw we saw just a week ago we saw the comedian simon harris was being paid half £1 million by southend council to run a covid information facebook group, which is something that you could get you know, £2.50. could get for, you know, £2.50. i mean, absolute madness. and we've got the public sector is full diversity coordinators. full of diversity coordinators. apparently there's 10,000 diversity, equity and inclusion staff. they've got all these policy officials that they don't need public relations. i don't know why. consultant the monstrosity they put up as modern art installation signs. >> instead they can focus on there's so much money from george. >> it's been cut back to the wick. i mean, come on, this is this is a nonsense. i'm saying libraries and what other. >> oh, yeah. they cut. >> oh, yeah. they cut. >> they cut the useful stuff. but they hire. but they they hire. >> not saying there's not

>> i'm not saying there's not wastage, by the way. >> paint. they paint >> and they paint. they paint zebra crossing pedestrian crossings flags, you crossings in rainbow flags, you know, for, for, for for, exorbitant of no exorbitant sums of money, no less. >> and we've seen gross mismanagement councils mismanagement at some councils such which, such as birmingham, which, which i think gone bankrupt. i think has gone bankrupt. and they uh , there was they were paying, uh, there was a lot of cronyism paying uh, family members , uh, thousands of family members, uh, thousands of pounds for , for short taxi taxi pounds for, for short taxi taxi trips and stuff like that. yeah. >> and in essex, i believe the tory council, they spent a fortune on. was it essex where they spent all that stuff on recycling the, uh , what's it recycling on the, uh, what's it called? sun comes down solar panels on the solar panel. it's been a really long day. i was up at 630 this morning making breakfast and, uh, lunches for my kids. so. yeah solar panels. and they spent all that money and then it's all basically useless. so. yeah. yeah >> so yeah, let's end all government. the guardian now with latest racist with their latest racist outrage. time it's changes outrage. this time it's changes to jury system. 60 years to the jury system. 60 years ago, josh. >> yeah. majority verdicts in england and wales brought in partly for racial and class

reasons. but when you read it, it's a of almost like an it's a sort of almost like an historical study by this, uh , historical study by this, uh, charity and charity called appeal. and they're looking at in 1967. so, yes , nearly 60 years ago, um , yes, nearly 60 years ago, um, they changed the law where it didn't have to be a sort of universal, uh, 12 people going, yep' universal, uh, 12 people going, yep, this person's guilty 1 or 2. it was allowed to be a majority vote. and they're saying that they're looking at this and saying that historical documents at the time are saying that it's because the, uh, jury pool was opened up to working class people and, uh, essentially people who weren't home home owners at the time. so working class people, but also, uh, different ethnicities and people who might be thought not to be educated enough to fully, you know, be competent. yeah, exactly . so, uh, but it's also exactly. so, uh, but it's also seen as a fairer system. yeah. because as there's always going to be a bit of leeway and also you could have, uh, cronyism or you could have, uh, cronyism or you could have, uh, cronyism or you could bribe, you know, bribe a juror. >> and then if it's a unanimous

system, nicholas, then, you know, the person gets off scot free. at least with this, it's, you harder to squeak you know, it's harder to squeak through. yeah. through. yeah yeah. >> i don't know we have this. through. yeah yeah. >sawdon't know we have this. through. yeah yeah. >saw this know we have this. through. yeah yeah. >saw this ii'i'iow we have this. through. yeah yeah. >saw this in this we have this. through. yeah yeah. >saw this in this movie ave this. through. yeah yeah. >saw this in this movie with his. i saw this in this movie with rachel uh, run away. jury rachel weisz. uh, run away. jury in america, film . in america, film. >> grateful. >> grateful. no >> grateful. no thanks. >> grateful. no thanks. >> it's a good film. john cusack as well. >> yeah, it's going crazy in this film. >> you're crazy. john >> you're crazy. john >> you're crazy. john >> you see that the lawyers for either side, the defendant and the, um, plaintiff, they can strike out certain members of the jury if they think they have reason to be biased. i don't know if you have the same thing in the uk or not. no. >> i think we'd all just try and get out of it. yeah yeah. >> whoever, whoever turns up. anyway, we're at the halfway point section we've point and the next section we've got miss japan booze and saudi arabia and should britannia arabia and should rule britannia be never

>> a tragedy? no, no. fortunately i always told my family i'd never be prime minister. so and chancellor of the exchequer, because i can't add .

add up. >> welcome back to headliners kicking off this section with the mirror and a tory mp has made an excellent suggestion that has zero chance of becoming reality . it sounds about right reality. it sounds about right for the tories, nicholas. >> yeah, another sad story of, um, to night under 16 should be banned from having mobile phones or social media. tory mp demands i say sad because this comes in the wake of another suicide by a teenager, 14 year old mia janin, who is , uh, has reportedly taken who is, uh, has reportedly taken her own life because she was bullied by by fellow school kids through a whatsapp, uh, group and a snapchat story. >> the name of the group was, uh. it was nicknamed the suicide squad. yeah, absolutely. >> if you can call it aptly. but because it led to the suicide. so again, it shines a light on the scourge that social media and certain platforms. i mean, tiktok is, is, is banned for young people in china, no less. a chinese, uh, social media

platform. of course , when china platform. of course, when china provides its own children with the alternative where there's time limit, where there's educational content, family values, learn all that values, you learn all that algebra instead of, uh, gender ideology . whereas here we have ideology. whereas here we have gender ideology at worst may well , worst gender ideology at worst may well, worst is bullying, but and, uh, vanity and superficial , and, uh, vanity and superficial, all, you know, dance routines . all, you know, dance routines. it also found its way to nhs and, you know, during pandemic do you follow me on tiktok? uh not yet. >> you bust out the moves now, josh , that's amazing . josh, that's amazing. >> you have a lot of teen fans. >> you have a lot of teen fans. >> yeah, but this is i mean, this is, uh, this is serious stuff. i mean, tiktok is like digital fentanyl. i guess children have always bullied each other, but, um, cyber bullying. >> well, also, because it can go on after school. yeah. and i think that's the that's the sort of the part of the evilness of it. um and the pervasiveness of it. um and the pervasiveness of it. uh, but as she was , the mp

it. uh, but as she was, the mp asked the question and, and then and rishi sunak just was like, yeah, no, we've got the, you know, we've got our new, um, legislation, internet safety bill. and that's just going to take care of everything. but it isn't. and there is a larger issue here about the access that we give our children on to this device . that pretty much device. that pretty much literally changes your brain structure. yeah. uh if there was a way. but how do we, you know, at the same time, we don't want to be a nanny state where we go this is what you should have to do with your child. there's no way of like. like you said in the intro of actually implementing but i think implementing it, but i think parents, including myself, have implementing it, but i think parents,a�*|cluding myself, have implementing it, but i think parents,a realiing myself, have implementing it, but i think parents,a real look nyself, have implementing it, but i think parents,a real look at;elf, have implementing it, but i think parents,a real look at the have to have a real look at the impact that these devices are having kids. having on our kids. >> well, luckily, uh, it's about five years until china invades. so they'll they'll ban tiktok . so they'll they'll ban tiktok. then we've got the guardian now with an unexpected benefit of abortion restrictions, young people slightly less people are slightly less degenerate. josh. >> well , do degenerate. josh. >> well, do you think

intercourse is degenerate? well, no. no marriage ? no. no marriage? >> no, that i'm married and i'm a father. yeah. i'm pointing the finger. here was somebody who was fun being degenerate here. single us, single people under 50 are having less sex. >> roe was overturned. >> since roe was overturned. a study finds . and this rule being overturned. >> that's not somebody who's rolled over. no, because that would make it more difficult. >> that's good. uh there's >> that's very good. uh there's an irony here. there's a bunch of statistics are of statistics which are basically they're saying about people about 11% less likely people are about 11% less likely to sex, or worry about to have sex, or they worry about sex, now they're worried, but sex, or now they're worried, but but interesting that but what's interesting is that there, there, is actually there, there, this is actually going probably less going to probably lead to less babies which don't really babies, which you don't really want in the western world where we need a growing population. and the whole of , of sort and the whole point of, of sort of abortion is of restricting abortion is presumably to have more babies . presumably to have more babies. well, yes. and you think it's brought on by the republicans, obviously very anti, uh, immigration or uncontrolled immigration. yet if their population goes into decline and they're not doing immigration and also at the same thing about and also at the same thing about a lot of they're wearing a lot

more protection. and i know a lot republicans are against lot of republicans are against that religious reasons. yet that for religious reasons. yet that for religious reasons. yet thatis that for religious reasons. yet that is another unintended consequence . so there is consequence. so there is somewhat of an irony here that it might not have the results that they want. >> i don't think it's going to lead babies, because lead to fewer babies, because people are anxious or people who are more anxious or more cautious or are having less sex or less casual sex. the key word is casual. or people sex or less casual sex. the key word is casual . or people who word is casual. or people who would have wanted to have an abortion and now they are in those red states and they can't do that. so roe v wade was overturned. this was terrible. it was great news for babies who would have wanted to live, but it terrible news for casual it was terrible news for casual sex because guess what? now, uh, women who go clubbing, they must have to first decide, okay, this guy l have to first decide, okay, this guy i want to have casual sex with would he be responsible enough to , uh, step up to the enough to, uh, step up to the plate and take care of a baby if a baby materialises? wow imagine the travesty that are you telling me? supreme court of the us need to open my legs us that i need to open my legs only for people i deem

responsible and kind? uh, responsible and kind? okay, uh, some american pro—life, uh, association, uh, have been kind enough to describe my, uh, pro life routine as the only pro—life routine in the whole world has had more than a million views on on youtube so far. but the point is that at the end of the day, if you want to have an abortion , you think to have an abortion, you think twice about it. if you live in one of those red states where legislation has made it more strict to have an abortion, it should also be pointed out that crime, when they did the roe vs wade crime plummeted right in the years afterwards because of people not having these unwanted single mothers are driven to commit horrific crimes , commit horrific crimes, presumably, well, their children i >> -- >> well, i 5mm >> well, i was a 17 year gap. i'd also like to point out that the withdrawal method worked great for me up until about two years ago. >> uh, the telegraph now. and rishi backing britannia . rishi is backing rule britannia. pretty this display of pretty sure this display of patriotism means we're to patriotism means we're going to go war. nicholas go to war. nicholas >> um, yeah. rishi sunak backs rule. britannia at proms. we

know proms is a staple of our musical events in london, and every year one of the closing , every year one of the closing, um, acts of this very popular eventis um, acts of this very popular event is rule britannia , event is rule britannia, originally part of the opera alfred, which celebrates , uh, of alfred, which celebrates, uh, of course, the mythical uh , english course, the mythical uh, english or british king. king alfred. and then recently , surprise, and then recently, surprise, surprise, it had become problematic because it's about, uh, love of your nation and your heritage and your your, uh, identity. the bbc tried to backtrack on this . they wanted backtrack on this. they wanted to drop it. there was a backlash in 2020. they put it back, and now, uh, prime minister rishi sunak has been quoted by his, uh, spokesman that he doesn't have anything against it because , again, in the wake of the whole george floyd protests and blm movement, uh, this , uh, blm movement, uh, this, uh, this, um , rule britannia was this, um, rule britannia was contested and deemed as problematic or racist or whatever as i was saying

earlier, how can we be expected to take up arms and go risk our lives for a country called britannia or britain, if we cannot even wave the flag and sing the song? >> yeah. if we ever won the war and planted a flag, somebody would come along and nag us for putting the flag in the hole. >> the people who are proposing that song be banned have that this song be banned have taken a different interpretation. it's got nothing to with with modern slavery to do with with modern slavery or the african slave trade. yeah. and the lyric that they have an issue, people have some people have an issue is britain's never never shall be slaves. well yes , slavery is slaves. well yes, slavery is a bad thing. britain fought and lost british lives to end the transatlantic slave. >> first country to end slavery. >> first country to end slavery. >> so ? so, um, who knows if the >> so? so, um, who knows if the people who fought for the end of slavery and lost their lives , slavery and lost their lives, they sang that song that inspired them. we're never going to be slaves. we don't want anybody to be slaves. uh, but the idea that this people say, oh, it can make, uh, make people

uncomfortable how they feel. well, got to get well, then you just got to get over it. yeah just because you feel that doesn't feel like that, that doesn't make the historical reality make it the historical reality of actually of what that song is actually about. that's your about. yeah, that's your interpretation? it's interpretation? yeah. it's almost is subjective, almost as if art is subjective, isn't it? >> and by the way, in the italian national anthem, we sing god, slave of god, god made victory, slave of the romans. all right. so so go figure. it was a different time. >> of course, the romans weren't strangers to having slaves. >> exactly. so we need to see everything the context. yeah everything in the context. yeah i do quickly, like, before you quickly on. quickly move on. >> just wanted to say that the >> i just wanted to say that the mr sunaks press secretary said, uh, very modern, but he's uh, he's very modern, but he's also comfortable with, uh, but he's modern, okay. and he's comfortable just to appeal to everybody . everybody. >> so beautiful stuff. you can tell election the tell it's election year. the telegraph reporting on telegraph now reporting on a controversy over miss japan. i'm assuming that she's a big, lumpy bloke. josh >> well, ukrainian born model, crowned miss japan sparks national identity debate . now, national identity debate. now, japan is a famous lee um because of its isolation physically and

culturally . uh, it's a very culturally. uh, it's a very homogenous society. yeah. uh, and they've had crime rate. well, they've had to open up recently because they also had low birth rates . recently because they also had low birth rates. um, yeah. once a crime, they wanted a low birth rate. and this young woman, she moved there when she was five. she grew up. she thinks in japanese. and it is a different way thinking. i learnt way of thinking. i learnt japanese school and it is japanese at school and it is a it's actually a unique way of thinking that informs the language and igor de onegaishimasu . oh, so disney. onegaishimasu. oh, so disney. so, um, and we've got a picture of her here. >> so this is the ukrainian, um, or uh, ukrainian origin, uh, woman who won miss japan. >> yeah , there she is. and she's >> yeah, there she is. and she's sort of , uh, >> yeah, there she is. and she's sort of, uh, yeah. she's very. >> she looks like a character in a playstation game, which that's how much she's adopted japanese culture. >> she looks like an anime version of a westerner . uh, and, version of a westerner. uh, and, uh, you know, good for her. and it's a sign that japan is somewhat opening up . uh, but it somewhat opening up. uh, but it has sparked a big national

debate as to what is japanese. and is it just is it seemingly an ethnicity, or is there a mindset that, as we used to say, what is being british? is it a mindset? i would say it's a certain mindset, a certain focus on fairness. yeah, that's what that's what i think it ultimately it boils down to the question, how do you define an japaneseness or britishness or your nation? >> do you define it as a scholars, call it a civic nationality or nation, or an ethnic or a combination of both? i participate in competitions called british comedian of the yeah called british comedian of the year. okay, i'm not originally or ethnically british, but i think british sense of humour or way of thinking can be learned. now this is this miss japan competition is the beauty pageant because although pretty, she doesn't look an example of japanese beauty. in that case, it would have been unfair to the other ethnically japanese participants. but if in this pageant , not necessarily a pageant, not necessarily a beauty pageant , you also look at beauty pageant, you also look at the way she speaks and the way she talks and her confidence as the organiser, the way she

writes and her confidence. the organisers say, was a major value. in that case, it's fair. so is it. if it's a beauty pageant, i would say no. maybe it's unfair to have it. and ukraine, ethnically ukrainian, there search engines. >> i was to type in japanese, >> if i was to type in japanese, beautiful, i'd be very disappointed that. disappointed if that. >> why is that why you're in that long? it that office so long? i knew it anyway moving we've got the anyway. moving on. we've got the times and we're a step times now and we're a step closer the wetherspoons closer to the first wetherspoons opening in saudi arabia. it should hajj more fun. should make the hajj more fun. >> nicholas weatherspoon as should make the hajj more fun. >> nas|olas weatherspoon as should make the hajj more fun. >> nas the; weatherspoon as should make the hajj more fun. >> nas the wetherspoon»n as should make the hajj more fun. >> nas the wetherspoon only as long as the wetherspoon only caters to foreign diplomats . so caters to foreign diplomats. so it's going to be of some level of some sort. >> i'm pretty that's >> i'm pretty sure that's a client stature and prestige. >> arabia to legally sell >> saudi arabia to legally sell alcohol, diplomats. alcohol, but only to diplomats. this is one of those recent opening moves. uh done by mbs , opening moves. uh done by mbs, mohammed bin salman, who is the crown prince of saudi arabia, effectively running the country because the king is quite old and ailing. he has, uh, opened cinemas for the first time. i'm permitted women to drive all of these changes in the past few

years because he wants to turn on, uh, prepare saudi arabia for the post oil post fossil fuels era, turn it into a major hub, attract tourists and so with that, well , i attract tourists and so with that, well, i mean to be to be to be fair, to him, he has made some his his reputation was shattered by the whole khashoggi affair. but now the first ever shop alcohol shop, albeit in the diplomatic quarter, only catering to foreign diplomats because up until now alcohol was illegal. but diplomatic diplomats had the license. you know, the diplomatic luggage they could have smuggled it in or legally bring it in for their own purposes . but it always made own purposes. but it always made its way to the down, down, down, uh, under ground black market by number 10. >> is that what you're going to say? >>i say? >> i performed in places like brunei, which is i think it's an islamic caliphate or an islamic monarchy and alcohol is illegal there. the at gig, it there. but at the at the gig, it was underground gig. but was an underground gig. but there's of all there's loads of booze in all these buckets. you these buckets. it wasn't, you know, people weren't drinking out of their coats anything.
