trans issues worthy of a new york play? yes york stage play? yes >> jk rowling, uh, who this >> so jk rowling, uh, who this week was among the list of week was named among the list of the uk , uh, taxpayers, a top the top uk, uh, taxpayers, a top 100 has been attacked for standing up for women's rights and a new show from a scottish arts company. the play , which arts company. the play, which will be performed on stage in new month, sees the new york next month, sees the author's surrogate children, daniel, stage daniel, rupert and emma, stage an intervention. now, jk rowling has endured years of attacks from trans lobby for her from the trans lobby for her views on women's rights. so so francis , what is jk rowling ever francis, what is jk rowling ever done to? well she's clearly a nazi, so because that's how it works. finally, someone saying finally someone says it. >> what it means to be far right is write a series of best is you write a series of best selling children's books, which bnngs selling children's books, which brings joy and to brings joy and delight to millions . and then you say that millions. and then you say that that's reading . yeah, get that's them reading. yeah, get some reading. and then it says it's sexist binary and that women deserve, uh their space. it's sexist binary and that wo that'seserve, uh their space. it's sexist binary and that wo that's pretty, uh their space. it's sexist binary and that wo that's pretty muchtheir space. it's sexist binary and that wo that's pretty much it.ir space. it's sexist binary and that wo that's pretty much it. hitler e. so that's pretty much it. hitler had same thing, mate. you had the same thing, mate. you should books. should read his kids books. they're awesome. so it's. they're awesome. um, so it's. >> i mean, this is a play. it

was sort of born in scotland. uh, what do you think of this stuff? i mean, how do they feel in scotland about jk rowling? >> i think some people don't like it because some people perceive to be a trans phobic perceive it to be a trans phobic person. but i've discussed this with andrew several times. i don't there's anything on don't think there's anything on record that she's record where she says that she's anti—trans think she has come anti—trans. i think she has come out and said she knows out and said that she knows trans people, that loves out and said that she knows trans people that loves out and said that she knows trans people andt loves out and said that she knows trans people and things, ves out and said that she knows trans people and things, but she does have different ideas on single—sex spaces. >> yeah. doesn't just >> yeah. which doesn't just because you have those ideas doesn't you per se doesn't make you per se anti—trans. when actually anti—trans. when you actually ask and you ask any trans activists and you say . quote me something directly say. quote me something directly that she has written or said, they never can know. >> but it's funny because a lot of my gay friends, because i have a couple, uh, there was a game that had come out for the playstation or whatever, and i knew were very knew four of them that were very vocal her, that all went vocal against her, that all went and and just played it and bought it and just played it in private. didn't talk to anyone that's the anyone about it. that's the hypocrisy. the meat eating vegetarian. >> so they were out of the closet and in the closet at the

same time. know it's like the same time. i know it's like the 80s all over again. it's fascinating. one thing we do know is that this know for certain is that this play know for certain is that this play rubbish. play is going to be rubbish. >> i mean, and is it also >> yeah. i mean, and is it also going to be some kind of own goal for trans activism? because i normal people, i think normal people, regular people, that means, people, whatever that means, silent see as silent majority see this as another intimidation. another form of intimidation. another against another form of bullying against someone who only seems to have contributed good to the world. >> yeah, absolutely. and the whole thing with an intervention is with somebody is normally done with somebody who a horrible addiction to who has a horrible addiction to something, know, something, you know, prescription or whatever it prescription meds or whatever it may be, or alcohol whereby you stop, you step in to say, look, we're really worried. we think you're going to kill yourself, but she just thinks that women should have protected spaces. does that need an does that really need an intervention from rupert grint ? intervention from rupert grint? >> yeah, i mean, they have all arguably those actors have betrayed her. yeah. uh, but but do you think, bruce, that this actually matters to her? i mean, it can't be nice to receive, you know, she is websites just dedicated to, like, all this

collates all of the death threats and the rape threats. she's received to have someone actually go out of their way and actors to perform this production, essentially calling you a bigot. that's not nice. surely >> no, it's not. but then i suppose if she was being intimidated that they intimidated in the way that they want to be intimidated, want her to be intimidated, or at that's perception at least that's the perception that i get from this kind of story article, she is not backing she? but i'm backing down, is she? but i'm sure she will have moments where she's this all worth she's like, is this all worth it? i think probably it? well i think she probably thinks it? well i think she probably thirwhat do what do you >> what do you what do you think, shirley? >> i think i'm not really too sure. >> yeah. shirley doesn't want to get fired, mate. right okay. she's got. she's not like you, mate. say edgy mate. go on. gb news say edgy things a great debate about things had a great debate about shirley. probably works for the council. well, did until council. well, she did until five ago, mate. have a five minutes ago, mate. have a think, think shirley. >> her name's not really shirley, right ? shirley, right? >> not cut away from >> no, it's not cut away from her. cut, cut, cut away from her. cut, cut, cut away from her. right. gonna have her. cut, cut, cut away from her. riquuestion gonna have her. cut, cut, cut away from her. riquuestion now.|na have her. cut, cut, cut away from herthis question now.|na have her. cut, cut, cut away from her this one's on now.|na have her. cut, cut, cut away from her this one's from. w.|na have >> this one's from. >> this one's from. >> she doesn't definitely doesn't in a council ehhen >> emma t- t— >> okay. i'll go. hello, guys. >> okay. i'll go. hello, guys. >> can a black actor portray

>> so can a black actor portray winston churchill? >> okay. are you nominating yourself or . yourself or. >> i would say probably. well i'm going to nominate myself i'm not going to nominate myself because not black, because obviously i'm not black, so. person maybe 90, so. but a black person maybe 90, they could portray winston churchill, but 90, that's 90. >> where did that stat come from? >> okay. well let me talk about this. >> i think 100% don't think 100, just 90. >> right. well, this the >> right. well, this is the actor sapani. actor danny sapani. >> give an interview to the >> he's give an interview to the sunday touched sunday telegraph. he touched on actors historical roles actors playing historical roles and potential of black and the potential of a black actor churchill. and the potential of a black act�*says churchill. and the potential of a black act�*says he churchill. and the potential of a black act�*says he wouldn't churchill. and the potential of a black act�*says he wouldn't have rchill. he says he wouldn't have a problem with as long as it problem with it as long as it worked both ways. so i've read this article and of course, what it really is about is the journalists at the very end just slips in a question goes, what do you think about someone black playing winston churchill like out of nowhere, just to have the snippet that's going to then be taken onwards and what do you think of his response? bruce going both ways? that seems fair enough, doesn't it? i've gone both the past myself, both ways in the past myself, so if you're a purely one directional, no, no, no, there were a couple moments.

were a couple of moments. >> yeah. not? >> so yeah. why not? yeah. >> so yeah. why not? yeah. >> mean, least he's not >> i mean, at least he's not being a hypocrite about this. no, no, i do think that with historical no, no, i do think that with historic be accurate . should be accurate. >> so for instance, i don't think a black person could black actor play winston actor could play winston churchill any more i could churchill any more than i could turn up and play winnie mandela . turn up and play winnie mandela. >> i disagree because of the weight issue. >> yeah . you disagree ? yeah. >> yeah. you disagree? yeah. >> yeah. you disagree? yeah. >> i think you could really not because to me it's all about realism . realism. >> you've got to believe that actor is the character now because we all know what winston churchill looked like , therefore churchill looked like, therefore a black person. it doesn't strike me as realistic in the same way that a white actor couldn't play nelson mandela . couldn't play nelson mandela. >> well, no, because then would they not be accused of? but would be white at time? would they be white at the time? or they on the skin colour? >> well, this is something else. if they did take on the skin colour then that would be seen if they did take on the skin co be, then that would be seen if they did take on the skin co be, you1 that would be seen if they did take on the skin co be, you know, would be seen if they did take on the skin co be, you know, blackface seen if they did take on the skin co be, you know, blackface and to be, you know, blackface and therefore racist. i don't see therefore racist. so i don't see how it could work the other way. >> well, francis got a point here. sometimes when you're watching historic

here. sometimes when you're watchinguh, historic here. sometimes when you're watchinguh, when historic here. sometimes when you're watchinguh, when they're: here. sometimes when you're watchinguh, when they're when dramas, uh, when they're when this, colour blind this, when, uh, colour blind casting place, it casting is, is put in place, it can somewhat take you out of it. if you're in 15th century england. and then suddenly someone who's person colour someone who's person of colour p0ps someone who's person of colour pops like, was that pops up, you're like, was that really person there? does really that person there? does it matter to you in any way personally , no. personally, no. >> and i know that's not what you want to hear. >> no, no, not at all. no, no, i want to hear that. >> of course. no, no, it doesn't bother me largely because. >> and will show my >> and this will show my ignorance. i went to the cabinet war rooms as a child on a school trip from park primary trip from park place primary in dundee, i didn't enjoy it. dundee, and i didn't enjoy it. so it's for me that's so it's not for me that's informed your political decision, right? >> question is from >> our next question is from emilia. hello. emilia. oh, hello. >> so, should admiral >> hi. uh so, should admiral nelson as naval nelson be remembered as a naval hero gay icon? both hero or a gay icon? both >> correct? yes. >> correct? yes. >> so admiral nelson is to be reimagined as a gay icon for a museum event. the queer history club night event at the national maritime museum in greenwich will consider the men who loved him, including close friend vice admiral thomas hardy, who kissed lord nelson's forehead and hands

when he aboard hms victory, when he died aboard hms victory, nelson's last words were said to have been kiss me, hardy , kiss have been kiss me, hardy, kiss me, hardy. that's pretty gay, right? >> um, well, i don't know. is it? do you think it is? i don't know what kind of kiss was it? well, with no documentation , well, with no documentation, this is the whole thing, so don't understand. just the natural love that exists between two serving together in war. >> well , who knows, because >> well, who knows, because there's rumours about many there's rumours about so many famous people. there's rumours about so many fan ex—royals e. there's rumours about so many fan ex—royals who are no there's rumours about so many fanex—royals who are no longer >> ex—royals who are no longer with that apparently were with us, that apparently were busy of britannia, busy in the bowels of britannia, but the with people who like that who were people were very, very challenged. yeah, i was worried. >> but what's strange here actually is that there are no rumours about admiral nelson at all. he was famously of the time, very heterosexual and very active. >> no, he wasn't famously heterosexual, was no . he was on heterosexual, was no. he was on a boat for months at the time, surrounded by men. there is not a chance in hell he didn't get stuck in renee now is that include everybody in the navy? >> , that's what he does. >> yeah, that's what he does.

here's what else is coming up today for the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, does britain need to prioritise . does britain need to prioritise. >> welcome back to free speech nafion >> welcome back to free speech nation myself josh howie now channel 4 recently faced a backlash on social media for giving airtime to andrew tate with an hour and a half documentary about him. let's have a quick look. andrew. andrew. andrew >> the most powerful people in the world. >> the real story of andrew tate. >> this is like manic look in his eyes with new insight and revelation. >> fortunately, i was born with a mind that is hard to occupy. and i find everything boring. >> the network feature length documentary i am andrew documentary titled i am andrew tate, a behind the scenes tate, was a behind the scenes look at the life of the man who is regarded by some as a role

model masculine ity. but model for masculine ity. but tate's past, i guess, tate's checkered past, i guess, has seen him arrested in romania for string of crimes, for a string of crimes, including rape and people trafficking. also faced trafficking. he also faced rape claims the a decade ago, claims in the uk a decade ago, although charges were later dropped. denied all dropped. tate has denied all allegations so is allegations against him, so is he a healthy influence on young men or a troubling sign of our times ? and does he deserve space times? and does he deserve space on our screens here to debate? i'm joined by two of the country's finest young political commentators chloe dobbs and jess gill . pat cullen first jess gill. pat cullen first question has to be whether this man is , like i said, accused, man is, like i said, accused, rapist or accused misogynist accused people trafficker. uh, does he deserve exposure on terrestrial tv? >> i think he does. regardless of whether you're pro or anti tate. um, you know, if you're against tate, then surely you should be glad that he is getting airtime and say being exposed. this channel 4 documentary doesn't really paint him in the best light. it picks out the worst parts of his past.

surely if you don't like him, you'd to be expose closed. >> yeah. you? do you agree >> yeah. do you? do you agree with that? do you think that let people give them that airtime and themselves or and they can hang themselves or be own words? be judged by their own words? i think there is definitely some truth that. truth to that. >> it's a shame andrew >> it's just a shame that andrew tate only antidote to tate is the only antidote to this society, constantly this society, which constantly demonises a society demonises men, that a society which tells men the which basically tells men the only way they can be accepted is if they chop penises if they chop their penises off and a woman. and call themselves a woman. i think why is so think that's why tate is so essential, but it's a shame. i'd more prefer characters like jordan peterson. um, promoted jordan peterson. um, be promoted . but unfortunately the they're demonised, so a character like andrew tate who says f you to the system is needed. >> yeah. so do you think that he's more a symptom of the times as opposed like it wouldn't have worked that shtick or i guess actually that's next actually that's my next question, you think it is question, is do you think it is an act? because that's what some people will say about him. >> i think he plays it up. even on piers morgan's show, he said it plays, he plays it up and on piers he piers morgan's show again, he actually morgan up.

actually showed piers morgan up. i think he actually showed that he the system. he is someone for the system. yeah, i may not agree with everything, but what he says, but tenants of it of but the core tenants of it of responsibility, ambition and being think they're being a man, i think they're generally good things. but what we promote towards men, we should promote towards men, it's just a shame that someone like tate saying like andrew tate is saying it. i think more people should be saying and that they saying it and that they shouldn't afraid say it. shouldn't be afraid to say it. but unfortunately, society has gotten where they but unfortunately, society has gott yeah, where they but unfortunately, society has gott yeah, i where they but unfortunately, society has gott yeah, i mean, nhere they but unfortunately, society has gottyeah, i mean, there's�*ney but unfortunately, society has gottyeah, i mean, there's no are. yeah, i mean, there's no doubt he's a he's very intelligent person. >> think that that >> um, do you think that that it's somewhat of an act or is it coming from place? i feel coming from a real place? i feel i'm reading into it myself. i'm just reading into it myself. it does like there's it does feel like there's genuine anger there. >> so i think that on the question of is it an act, i think that andrew will often you know, he can be quite pompous and exaggerate and he'll often exaggerate what he saying . whereas if you he is saying. whereas if you listen to his brother tristan tate speaking, he's often, you know, a lot more reserved , um, know, a lot more reserved, um, and a bit more has a bit more humility. um, but at the end of the day, i think that there are a couple of messages that they put across, um, to young men and

young people general that are young people in general that are really and really powerful and are resonating a time where resonating at a time where i think women are realising that some of the things that feminism has taught them is not really serving them. so, as jess has said, teaching men how to be real men, i think women are fairly wired fairly hard wired to want providers and protectors and feminism has sort of taught men to do the opposite of that. taught men that you should split, split the bill, get the woman to pay half the bills. um, whereas the tate brothers are telling people how to be real men at a time when i feel like men at a time when i feel like men are really becoming quite feminised and becoming very low effort, then also, you know, effort, and then also, you know, i'm a big fan of people being entrepreneurs and people being self—employed and they are, you know, constantly telling people and teaching people how to, you know , escape the 9 to 5 and do know, escape the 9 to 5 and do something interesting and ambitious with your life. and sometimes they may sound a little bit, um, like conspiracy theorists where they say, you

know, you're escaping the matrix, but at the end of the day, i think their core message is helping young men. and there's a reason why so many millions of men around the world follow them. >> there's a reason why. but you know, touching upon some of the things does things you said. yes he does promote like promote things like entrepreneurship, the entrepreneurship, but at the same , other people might same time, other people might say is showing people say he also is showing people how to con other people. it's not coming from a moral position, and certainly exploiting this was in exploiting whether this was in the finesse of people trafficking or not. that's not, i believe, how people women want to be treated . and certainly to be treated. and certainly showing that as an example to young men. and i've got a lot of young men. and i've got a lot of young men, i've got a lot of kids and a lot of they're all boys for boys and a girl. uh, that's not the message that i really want to send to them. i want them to be strong, but i don't want them to talk about women that way and women women that way and treat women that way. >> yeah, course, there's lots >> yeah, of course, there's lots of things i strongly of things which i strongly disagree tate disagree with andrew tate on. for he promotes for example, he promotes hedonism, promotes sleeping hedonism, he promotes sleeping around. i think anyone who calls

himself be himself a conservative should be against these things. it's not good it's good good for women, it's not good for men. and i think monogamy, which andrew seemingly which andrew tate is seemingly against, the way against, is actually the way forward. unfortunately we're forward. but unfortunately we're not that level the way . not at that level the same way. i talk more about, you i want to talk more about, you know, what gender roles are. we're stuck in defining what a woman is. want to talk about woman is. i want to talk about that. a man should be a man. and it doesn't just mean an adult human it means being human male. it means being a provider, being a protector. and i stuck at this i think we're stuck at this position we need just position where we need to just say, man up, and say, men need to man up, and then go towards things then we can go towards things like monogamy being respectful. i should be the bare i know it should be the bare minimum, unfortunately a minimum, but unfortunately a lot of even that of men can't even do that nowadays. know i think nowadays. you know what i think a men controversially, a lot of men controversially, i think men are actually think a lot of men are actually quite useless and it's no fault of their own. >> that's controversial. we've been a long time, been told that for a long time, but no their own but it's no fault of their own society actively puts them down. >> constantly tells them >> society constantly tells them they're useless and our education system, are education system, men are completely falling behind because geared towards because it's geared towards women . um, they're told being women. um, they're told being ambitious, being chivalrous is

seen as a negative . so of seen as a negative. so of course, someone like andrew tate, who promotes all these things, who promotes them , things, who promotes them, manning the manning up, taking the responsibility, is as responsibility, is seen as a positive. i guess it's the separating the message from the person and also from his actions i >>i -- >> i know lam >> i know that, like i say , my, >> i know that, like i say, my, i've got a 14 year old, uh, he's watched those videos. the question is, are they able to separate those different factors to take any positive message out there or are they going to be is this how they're going to treat women when they grow up? well what i will say, one thing i will say is that, um, the tate brothers have definitely matured over time. >> i think overtime. >> i think the past over time. >> i think the past they were >> i think in the past they were more in favour of, say, sleeping around. but as time has on, around. but as time has gone on, they've and matured. they've got older and matured. they more about, they talk much more about, um, family values monogamy more family values and monogamy more these days. and what they are teaching nowadays is to treat women properly by, you know , women properly by, you know, planning the date, buying flowers and paying for their dinner, holding doors open, you know, holding a chair for them, simple, gentlemanly things like

this that seem to be rare to come across. >> i agree with everything you've just said and those things. >> surely you'd want, you know, you'd want to teach your. >> but there's got to be >> but surely there's got to be someone there. you guys someone else out there. you guys are you heard of this are young. you heard of this thing the internet? um, thing called the internet? um, that got to be someone that there's got to be someone else out there manages to else out there who manages to provide those messages to a to younger to, to be able to younger people to, to be able to appeal to them without all the toxicity. do you know of such ? toxicity. do you know of such? >> i'm saying jordan peterson is the . the closest. >> but if my kids are going to get into jordan peterson, i don't know. >> i think lot of young people >> i think a lot of young people actually really jordan actually really love jordan peterson. audience peterson. like his main audience are young men. but on the andrew tate core knowledge tate thing, the core knowledge that people have taken that a lot of people have taken away, an andrew away, like i became an andrew tate just by going through tate fan just by going through his through the his reels, um, going through the reels, which promoted on instagram again, it's reels, which promoted on instteaching again, it's reels, which promoted on instteaching the again, it's reels, which promoted on instteaching the more ain, it's not teaching the more controversial things . men are controversial things. men are just desiring responsibility , just desiring responsibility, being being able to be men , being being able to be men, pretty much. and unfortunately , pretty much. and unfortunately, yeah, jordan peterson is one of those.i yeah, jordan peterson is one of those. i think there should be more models like that. but

unfortunately the there doesn't seem to be and maybe it's the media, um, going against that. like if you look at a lot of mainstream television, like family guy, for example, the dad is useless and it's is absolutely useless and it's really funny. but unfortunately, we strong role we need more strong male role models . yeah. models. yeah. >> i mean, would you agree with that? is it is it is he the is he the messiah for that role or are we is it actually is he setting the way for someone else to come through who actually might not have all of this baggage with them in their personal life and what they've done? think inevitably done? i think inevitably more people will come through. >> that the tide is >> i do think that the tide is starting to turn on on the feminism movement. well, the bad parts i've parts of it, um, that that i've spoken and as and spoken about. and as more and more are learning and liking more men are learning and liking andrew's message and the good parts of andrew's message , parts of andrew's message, they'll, you know, with social media, you've got so many people making growing making videos and growing a platform themselves. platform for themselves. inevitably, people will come through, that might through, you know, that might just take 2 years for us to just take 1 or 2 years for us to see. we may not get someone as prominent as famous as prominent and as famous as andrew tate, but i'm sure you'll

see different individual see lots of different individual voices across social media. i think i couldn't many think i couldn't name many people i'm people in particular, but i'm starting see videos like that starting to see videos like that from coming through. from young men coming through. yeah and it's interesting, something that i you were something that i think you were saying just about, um, women telling just i mean, for me, telling men just i mean, for me, that would just be because men, we're simple folk and, uh, what maybe what we really need is a woman just saying. >> this is what you should do, and then guys will just be like, that's what my wife does. she's, like, behave like this. and i'm like, behave like this. and i'm like, oh, yeah, cool. i'll do that. because then don't have that. because then i don't have to i don't know, i would to think, i don't know, i would like men to take more responsibility. >> again, have role >> see, again, they have a role to the sexual to play with the sexual revolution, for example, which people like andrew tate have exploited, where women are encouraged and encouraged to sleep around and they like in the end. they don't like it in the end. so women used and so many women feel used and degraded by the sexual revolution. and then men are taking just taking advantage of this by just sleeping doesn't sleeping around. it doesn't benefit who feel benefit men who don't feel fulfilled long terme. and fulfilled in the long terme. and same women. think same with women. and i think thatis issue same with women. and i think that is issue with that. and that is the issue with that. and i think it lies with men. i

think men do need to take the responsibility. but again, like society just, um, society has just, um, internalised they've told internalised them. they've told them, know, you don't have them, you know, you don't have to this responsibility. you to take this responsibility. you can just your own person. can just be your own person. well i think a core tenant of being a man is being a father is being a man is being a father is being provider is being being a provider is being a brother, a husband. but brother, is being a husband. but we've to neglected that. we've seemed to neglected that. >> would you agree >> yeah. i mean, would you agree with that? is that i mean, it seems both of you seem very seems like both of you seem very much in sync about this. >> yes and no. so i think >> yes. yes and no. so i think that the way that men's that the, the way that men's behaviour has changed you behaviour has changed to, you know, in opinion, know, in my, in my opinion, being more effort in being a much more low effort in dating partly on the men, but dating is partly on the men, but also like you've had some pretty bad days. >> yeah i have and, and partly on the women. >> yeah i have and, and partly on so women. >> yeah i have and, and partly on so um,1en. >> yeah i have and, and partly on so um, as. >> yeah i have and, and partly on so um, as jess has sort of >> so um, as jess has sort of alluded to, women are, you know, sort giving men access sort of giving men access to their um, know, on their bodies, um, you know, on the, on the first date, basically , um, if you don't show basically, um, if you don't show a man. no, you need to make more effort. you need to provide you need to pay for dinner, etc, etc. before you can, you know, have commitment from me, have access to my body . um, then they

access to my body. um, then they will in effort. um, so will put in more effort. um, so it's partly on women for accepting low standards and feminism has taught women to, you know, accept men splitting the bill and, you know, sleep around, let men into your bed when you barely even know them. that means that men are getting what they want for a very low price. essentially, i feel kind of busted here. >> well, i have learned from both of you is that i'm very glad that i'm old and that's phase of my life is over. thank you very much. >> young people have to date older to get real men these days. >> oh no no, no no. >>— >> oh no no, no no. >> well, that's not me. not these gen zers. >> oh, really? okay, well, thank you. uh, my wife is not watching this. i hope. >> thank you very much. that wasn't it. that wasn't aimed at you. i'm sure it wasn't, you. no, no, i'm sure it wasn't, uh, my debating teams, we have chloe dobbs and jess gill. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next on free speech >> right next on free speech nation, we'll be discussing the jew face row at the oscars . jew face row at the oscars. >> plus, why mps are frantically shaving their beards off ahead

of the next election . see you in of the next election. see you in two. >> on mark dolan tonight, in my big opinion, there's talk of ordinary brits being conscripted to fight in a future war. >> but with so many of our values being discarded, what exactly would they be fighting for? it might take a ten. the tories are in a right royal mess, but a new prime minister now would insult to the now would be an insult to the british plus a military british people. plus a military hero tells his amazing story in mark meets my top pundits, the papers legend ann papers and politics legend ann widdecombe . we're live at nine.

earlier on gb news radio . earlier on gb news radio. >> welcome back to free speech nation. >> later on in the show, i'll be turning agony uncle with the help of my panel, bruce and

francis, to help you deal with your unfiltered dilemmas . email your unfiltered dilemmas. email us at gbviews@gbnews.com. and we will try to answer your issues. now our older viewers will remember a time when comedians and impressionists used to put on dark makeup to portray people of colour and people would laugh. it's called blackface . laugh. it's called blackface. it's very popular with canadian prime ministers nowadays. it gets called out and criticised, i believe. rightly so . so why is i believe. rightly so. so why is it then in this enlightened it then that in this enlightened day non—jewish actors day and age, non—jewish actors can play jewish roles wearing prosthetic noses and earned oscar nominations for best makeup and best actor ? i am, of makeup and best actor? i am, of course, talking about bradley cooperin course, talking about bradley cooper in the leonard bernstein biopic maestro. let's take a look at the trailer . look at the trailer. >> if someone doesn't sing in you that nothing sings in you, and if nothing sings in you that you can't make music something she told me , hello, i'm lenny.

she told me, hello, i'm lenny. >> hello, felicia . >> hello, felicia. >> hello, felicia. >> that's a big old nose, david baddiel has been vocal in calling this out, but i think the main point he makes is if it's not okay for other ethnicity or even other sexualities and disabilities, why is it totally fine when it comes to portraying jews? there's an hypocrisy here. do you agree? so what do you think? >> it's really interesting because . logically it's because. logically it's consistent. but the reason why people would push back against thatis people would push back against that is because they say jews are white and therefore it is acceptable for a white person to play acceptable for a white person to play a white character. >> if there's a black guy >> so if there's a black guy getting big nose, playing getting a big nose, playing a jewish then everything's jewish guy, then everything's going well, black people going to be, well, black people can jewish, a.k.a. can be jewish, a.k.a. sammy davis can be jewish, a.k.a. sammy davsure. of course i know >> sure. no of course i know that's being facetious . yeah, that's being facetious. yeah, but no, no , no, but but that is but no, no, no, but but that is the argument that they would make see what we've got now make you see what we've got now is come into this is we've come into this really tncky is we've come into this really tricky where where tricky point where it's where people are saying that you can

only a role if you have a only play a role if you have a certain of characteristics . certain set of characteristics. for instance, if you're a straight you can't a straight actor, you can't play a gay character when the reality is that's hypocritical because those gay people have been playing roles for playing straight roles for donkey's so. so donkey's years. yeah so. so where do we go is the actual truth about it and the reality is, i don't know, what about you ? >> 7- >> do ?- >> do you ? >> do you know, bruce, i 7 >> do you know, bruce, i don't know a lot. >> and i think i demonstrate that every time i'm on the channel and i'm quite pleased about that. i think the reason i think reason that think that the reason that they've this is because they've done this is because he's such a recognisable name. is there anyone happens? i'm is there anyone who happens? i'm not right. by the not saying it's right. by the way, is anyone an way, is there anyone who's an actor and of the jewish actor and openly of the jewish faith that is as famous as bradley you think bradley cooper? do you think that's way the i've that's maybe the way the i've heard that there are some jewish people actors, right ? people who become actors, right? >> they're not all just accountants and lawyers . no, accountants and lawyers. no, some of them and some of them, even become comedians. >> right? are they as famous as bradley cooper? >> i think there are some. pretty well got harrison ford, he's half jewish. okay, adam

sandler, plenty of plenty of jewish there. uh, but jewish people out there. uh, but but i think, i mean, personally, for me, it's not that it's a massive issue, to mirror massive issue, but to mirror david baddiel's point, it's the hypocrisy when it is point out every other time and they're a big protest when someone portrays a trans actor or , uh, portrays a trans actor or, uh, portrays a trans actor or, uh, portrays really any other ethnicity that it's made a big deal out of, but yet here it's just even sort of if it wasn't for david baddiel, really. uncommented upon. yeah. >> so that is the point. so >> and so that is the point. so it's really interesting when we are having this conversation because what it does is it highlight the hypocrisy within it. instance , if there it. so for instance, if there was a person playing a trans character, there would be a huge meltdown and people would say, like, we're erasing trans people, but because you've got an is not jewish an actor who is not jewish playing a jewish person, look , i playing a jewish person, look, i think we need to get back to a point where you get an actor and they're playing a character. if they're playing a character. if they play the character well, that's fine. when it's a case of, for instance, a white person

playing nelson mandela or a black woman playing boleyn, black woman playing anne boleyn, that's obviously ridiculous. but everywhere else i think it's fine . for instance, for a jewish fine. for instance, for a jewish actor to play somebody who is not jewish. do you see what i mean? >> no, totally. but i guess it's just you want the same rules across the board. >> oh, absolutely. >> oh, absolutely. >> you which which to >> you which which goes to a story about we talked about earlier. but of course, in this year's oscars, it's not just, um, we're just about um, we're not just talking about maestro. have maestro. uh, it also we have helen mirren, who plays, uh, golda prosthetic golda meir. she had a prosthetic nose. was also there. she's nose. she was also there. she's also for best makeup , her also up for the best makeup, her makeup artist. and we have, uh, cillian murphy oppenheimer , cillian murphy for oppenheimer, who is jewish. >> so did he have a prosthetic nose? >> no, nose? >> no , no. open. i had a small >> no, no. open. i had a small nose in real life. uh unfortunately. but also, we. the other thing. do you remember if you heard this story? but, uh, the academy of arts, uh, their motion pictures, they opened up a museum in hollywood about a year ago. two years ago now, uh, and in this museum, there was not one mention of any jewish

people and jewish people founded hollywood. that's just a historical fact . so, again, it's historical fact. so, again, it's just, you said, it's the just, as you said, it's the erasure of jewish voices. and i think that's what david baddiel is uh, i don't have a is saying. uh, i don't have a problem with. have you seen maestro? >> i haven't seen maestro. i saw oppenheimer doubtful . that was oppenheimer doubtful. that was great. okay. >> you think he plays >> that's it. you think he plays a good jew? >> yeah, he played top jew. >> yeah, he played top jew. >> you can't tell. >> you can't tell. >> you can't tell. >> you don't know? yeah >> you don't know? yeah >> cool. all right, so are we, uh. next? oh, yeah. tory uh. what's next? oh, yeah. tory mps apparently shaving their mps are apparently shaving their beards they've been beards off because they've been told a turn to off voters. told it's a turn to off voters. one senior who got rid of one senior tory who got rid of his whiskers he took out his whiskers said he took out his whiskers said he took out his party colleagues his razor after party colleagues suggest this beard would put voters the ballot box. voters off at the ballot box. it's also claimed mrs. thatcher voters off at the ballot box. it's always|imed mrs. thatcher voters off at the ballot box. it's always aned mrs. thatcher voters off at the ballot box. it's always a big mrs. thatcher voters off at the ballot box. it's always a big opponent:her voters off at the ballot box. it's always a big opponent ofr was always a big opponent of beards, is maybe one of beards, which is maybe one of the reasons why kept hers the reasons why she kept hers so, now, looking so, so trim. now, looking here, frances , are you envious of what frances, are you envious of what you see? oh, yeah. >> yeah, yeah. whenever i grow, try and grow a beard, it's less greek. god more greek grandmother. >> does it just come out? little whiskers? >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> yeah, yeah, yeah. >> it's absolutely. yeah just >> it's absolutely. yeah i just yeah, it looks like a woman with

that was wondering if that might. i was wondering if being conservative into being conservative played into that wanted this that at all. they wanted this kind of clean cut image. >> oh, do know what would be >> oh, do you know what would be actually tories actually better for the tories if they'd run the country properly for the last 13 years, then maybe then actually, guy, maybe we should shave our beards. >> can do what you >> or maybe you can do what you promise to do. yeah, you know what? >> i 100% agree with you, but i would like to see boris johnson with or is she even with a beard. or is she even rishi sunak rishi? >> really? >> really? >> i like theresa. i'm fine. i'll take any leader. >> i like theresa. i'm fine. i'll i'de any leader. >> i like theresa. i'm fine. i'll i'd likey leader. >> i like theresa. i'm fine. i'll i'd like aleader. >> i like theresa. i'm fine. i'll i'd like a well—run nhs. but >> i'd like a well—run nhs. but you know, we're just different. >> yeah, i'm not so on that. >> i'd like to rishi in full >> i'd like to see rishi in full length slacks. yeah, i hate the kind cropped trousers that kind of cropped trousers that the swingers. the ankle swingers. >> he'll get your vote. >> and then he'll get your vote. >> and then he'll get your vote. >> budgie. >> yeah, right. budgie. >> yeah, right. budgie. >> let's uh, time >> okay, let's have, uh, time for some messages. but coming up next on free speech nation, it's time monthly culture time for our monthly culture roundup with historian and writer oldroyd. bolt. see writer david oldroyd. bolt. see you

letter of introduction from the humanist to sir thomas humanist erasmus to sir thomas more later on, more, lord chancellor later on, and later on executed for opposing henry vii's the opposing henry vii's on the reformation, came to england, reformation, he came to england, and he quickly through painting and he quickly through painting an extraordinary series or starting of drawings and then paintings of thomas more's family , became the go to painter family, became the go to painter of the day. he was celebrity of the day. he was the celebrity if you wanted your portrait painted, if you wanted to be recognised as a great and good person of the land, you got holbein in. because i couldn't take selfies. holbein in. because i couldn't take seiwell, i had to get him. >> no, well, i had to get him. >> no, well, i had to get him. >> he was like drawing yourself in the is terribly in the mirror is not terribly easy. so yeah. >> was he the person? was he sort of like the version of, like latest iphone max 14 sort of like the version of, like he.atest iphone max 14 sort of like the version of, like he wast iphone max 14 sort of like the version of, like he was like one max 14 sort of like the version of, like he was like the max 14 sort of like the version of, like he was like the best 14 sort of like the version of, like he was like the best of the best. >> well, i mean, he was he was the celebrity. he was the only real portrait artist of the day. and he was the person, i think, who portraiture from what who moved portraiture from what it previously which is it had previously been, which is to real people the figure to put real people in the figure of, the baptist or of, say, john the baptist or juuus of, say, john the baptist or julius caesar or antony and cleopatra. instead ideals cleopatra. instead of ideals rising mythologising them , rising and mythologising them, he they were,

he painted them as they were, and drew them as they were. and this is the point about this exhibition, because here we have the most extraordinary collection his drawings collection of his drawings that's public display that's been on public display for shows you for 30 years. and it shows you that a draughtsman of that he was a draughtsman of almost incomparable genius at using the very finest lines and the very smallest amount of colour to bring out the person in who they were. >> and did he focus on the rich and famous or did he? >> well, yes, because they could afford it. >> oh really? but he wasn't just like, oh, that's a beautiful cat. >> no. or a vase. no. this flowers. this is a snapshot of the very height of tudor society of henry and society. and in seeing these drawings, what you seeing these drawings, what you see is the evolution of that society, you start with society, because you start with thomas and john fisher, who thomas more and john fisher, who were both executed by henry for opposing him on the divorce from catherine of aragon. and the disestablishment of sorry, the removal of the church from the control of rome. and then you see anne boleyn and thomas howard, who were both later executed for having an affair.

anne boleyn was , of course, the anne boleyn was, of course, the reason for the reformation. then you see jane seymour, the queen, who henry is supposed to have loved in her loved the most. and in her picture, when was picture, painted when she was a year from death , which, of year from death, which, of course didn't know this, but course she didn't know this, but she childbirth . you see, she died in childbirth. you see, the of the woman and the innocence of the woman and her unease position in her unease with the position in which she's found herself, the pursing of the lips and the set of the brow show very clearly, just any would. just as any picture would. any photo would, that this was a woman who didn't really like the position in which she'd found herself, but she knew she had to carry through. the most carry it through. it's the most exquisite drawing. and exquisite piece of drawing. and then on you have his grand then later on you have his grand set pieces, which painted set pieces, which were painted as palace as murals in whitehall palace but sadly were down in but sadly were burnt down in 1698. these copies, made by 1698. but these copies, made by other artists and these sketches that we have, show that this was a of art, well to the equal a work of art, well to the equal of any great mural, the city or any great roof painting, such as the sistine chapel . and it's the sistine chapel. and it's a great shame for english history that it's lost. >> and, uh, i mean, it sounds like you're obviously a massive fan and you recommend people get

out and check it out. out there and check it out. >> got until the >> well, you've got until the 14th april to go see it at 14th of april to go see it at the queen's gallery at buckingham palace. and it will take an to go take you only an hour to go around. but i think for anyone who remotest who has even the remotest appreciation of beauty of appreciation of the beauty of drawing who wants to drawing and anyone who wants to know society looked know what english society looked like 16th century, like in the mid 16th century, spend that hour, spend that £19 which back in as many which gets you back in as many times want. times as you want. >> do they have teeth? they had their yeah. painted their teeth. oh yeah. painted those again, they were rich. >> well, again, they were rich. and it was before sugar was really widespread. >> to be said really widespread. >> as to be said really widespread. >> as you to be said really widespread. >> as you told to be said really widespread. >> as you told that» be said really widespread. >> as you told that story,1id really widespread. >> as you told that story, of that as you told that story, of all the people that he painted, uh, bit ominous that uh, it was a bit ominous that they all died shortly afterwards. i'm just saying it could curse. could have been a curse. >> well, the curse holbein. yeah. >> uh, sticking with the royal theme, i hear there's a play about late queen mother, and about the late queen mother, and it's an unusual it's been given an unusual trigger yes it says trigger warning. yes it says this play was in 1979, and this play was set in 1979, and they thought things differently then. >> oh, the is a foreign >> oh, the past is a foreign country. do things country. they do things differently. there isn't it tedious every now you tedious that every time now you see something public that see something in public that represents this historical reality? to be

reality? people have to be warned can warned about it? i think you can judge the quality of a judge that the quality of a country's in country's confidence in intellect by its public announcements. instance, if announcements. for instance, if you a railway you walk through a railway station you to station here and you listen to the announcement, would the announcement, you would think country think that this country is entirely of juvenile entirely made up of juvenile idiots. you up the idiots. and if you walk up the steps at paddington station, hold the handrail. don't look at your have your mobile phone, don't have a drink. your mobile phone, don't have a dnnk.be your mobile phone, don't have a drink. be careful. you think this this just another this is. this is just another one chain makes one in that chain that makes it must foreigners what must make foreigners think what has happened to britain. there's a in the west at the a play in the west end at the moment that warns people. this play moment that warns people. this play contains handling play contains the handling of cooked pythonesque cooked eggs. it's pythonesque you to walk cooked eggs. it's pythonesque yotand to walk cooked eggs. it's pythonesque yotand do to walk cooked eggs. it's pythonesque yotand do it to walk cooked eggs. it's pythonesque yotand do it in to walk cooked eggs. it's pythonesque yotand do it in stupid:o walk cooked eggs. it's pythonesque yotand do it in stupid voice? on and do it in a stupid voice? are we now such an infantile society that can't accept society that we can't accept that happen differently? that things happen differently? 40 that we can't 40 years ago? that we can't accept they may have accept that they may have thought that we thought things then that we don't that perhaps don't think, and that perhaps clashes the way that we clashes with the way that we think are and think things are now. and i think, is this coming from the playwright? from playwright? is this coming from scared who think that scared producers who think that maybe someone's going to sue them ? is it coming from the them? is it coming from the theatre? who again, are afraid, or is this just a massive overreaction of all three? i mean, do you get this on your

shows? no. shows? no, no. >> well, obviously not here. the whole channel was whole point of the channel was set exactly to combat all set up to exactly to combat all of that. but you're right. and i think arguably it's all you know what it's people acting what it is. it's people acting ahead time, anticipating ahead of time, anticipating something actually hasn't something that actually hasn't happened. one's complained something that actually hasn't hapritied. one's complained something that actually hasn't haprit was one's complained something that actually hasn't haprit was setone's complained something that actually hasn't haprit was seton

i would feel rather offended at the treating the announcement, treating them as then become fools. >> david aldridge bolt, thank you so much forjoining us. thank you. that is the end of the first hour of free speech nation. but don't go away because there's a lot more to come between 9:00. see come between now and 9:00. see you shortly. come between now and 9:00. see youahortly. come between now and 9:00. see youa brighter outlook with boxt >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar, the sponsors of weather on . gb news. on. gb news. >> hello there and greg dewhurst and welcome to your latest gb news weather. we've got rain pushing across central areas through the next 24 hours, which could be heavy at times. the wind is starting to ease a little bit. looking at the bigger picture, it's this area of low pressure which will bring the heavy to parts of the heavy rain to parts of wales, northern england. as we move through monday. but it move through into monday. but it does tuesday for the does clear into tuesday for the rest of sunday. clearer skies across after a windy across scotland after a windy day and exceptional temperatures as record breaking. in fact, close to 20 celsius here overnight . we can see that rain overnight. we can see that rain across parts of wales, northern england, setting into the south

nation. let's get some more questions from the audience. our first question is from mansoor al. >> should boarding schools be allowed to allow trans people to stay in in dorms of their preferred gender? >> yes. so should boarding schools allow trans pupils to stay in dorms of their preferred gender? and our schools, including taunton school in somerset and bedales in hampshire, say trans gender pupils could be allowed to stay in accommodation according to their gender. the their chosen gender. the school's policies clash with the government's first ever guidance for trans pupils, which states that pupils must sleep in dorms segregated by their biological sex. so i mean, they're breaking the law, right? yeah it seems to be that they're breaking the law. >> and look what this is a really, really important subject because is when a school takes on a pupil, it doesn't matter if it's for day, if it's state or if it's private. they're in the role of what is known as local parentis, which means in the role of the parent. and as a result of that, that means that they have they have the care for

they have they have the care for the it is really the child. and it is really important that not only do they protect the child , but also the protect the child, but also the other children . and what is other children. and what is going to happen is, is that there's going to be some people are going to see that as a loophole, that's going to loophole, and that's going to put children danger. put certain children in danger. it simply can't be allowed to happen. yeah. >> uh, we've seen in >> and, uh, we've seen in america where, uh, trans students have been using female spaces, female toilets and, and females have been attacked and then they've actually it's been covered up by the school board. surely when someone has had, uh, their appendage still, they shouldn't be allowed and certainly teenagers in that space. >> well, i see what you're saying. but then where do you put if this i don't know. so say the child identifies as a female and that's the gender that they've chosen . but they still they've chosen. but they still have what where then if they don't want to be in with other males and they're not allowed to be in with other females, or it's prescribed that they shouldn't do they then shouldn't be, where do they then go then? do you have a third

dormitory then for trans people, i these. i guess you know these. >> what? this is >> but you know what? this is a very valid question. personally, i think yes, there probably should third dormitory, but should be a third dormitory, but it's kind of questions it's these kind of questions that are required and unfortunately, these kind of questions banned questions that have been banned by activists over the by the trans activists over the years hashtag no debate , years of hashtag no debate, which should have which is when we should have been about all of this been talking about all of this stuff, it is about stuff, but because it is about maintaining a balance between the the the two sets of rights, the rights of the other pupils and the rights of that particular individual. uh and it's individual. uh but and it's another interesting case here where also which was what where we're also which was what we've a lot with the trans we've seen a lot with the trans movement. a lot movement. there's a lot of privilege involved. you're not seeing really seeing the stuff really occurring africa. and, and occurring in africa. and, and other places around the world where people are surviving. uh, you're in very posh you're seeing this in very posh schools. you're seeing this as the children of the wealthy, the children of famous children of the famous in hollywood , uh, is trans hollywood, uh, is trans essentially a privileged position? well look, i think the trans people have always existed. >> there's always been gender dysphoria. there's people who suffer from it. we actually interviewed on my show

trigonometry. we actually interviewed an employee of ours who actually has gender dysphoria. it's a very real dysphoria. so it's a very real thing. and it is a registered psychological condition. and as a result of that, if you are in loco parentis, it is the role of the school to be able to accommodate the child as best it can. but that also has to take into account the other children as well. so the reality is, is they will probably need to have a third dormitory and the reality is, you know, they're going to implement this. >> and i really hope that no one does actually get hurt. yeah uh, and it's going too and then it's going to be too late. all right. our next question from kc . question is from kc. >> oh, hi. yeah, it's, um, kind of four year old. decide what sex want be. sex they want to be. >> just escape this topic. >> can't we? >> can't we? >> yeah, it's a similar topic, but i've a three year old but i've got a three year old grandson. i actually am a bit concerned that it's actually a relevant question. i don't even think a four old should be think a four year old should be thinking it, but more thinking about it, but it's more parents trying to, um, put parents are trying to, um, put labels on on, um, male and

female to be honest. so yeah. yeah. question >> yeah. so the question. yes. can a four year old, uh, really know what sex they want to be? now, this is because the church of england primary school allowed year old boy to allowed a four year old boy to join as a girl. now the child's sex was hidden from classmates who were described by parents as traumatised out traumatised when they found out gillian education gillian keegan, the education secretary and kemi badenoch, the woman and equalities minister, are understood to be are both understood to be concerned the situation and concerned by the situation and have pledged intervene so , have pledged to intervene so, no, this doesn't sound good for the church of england primary school and do you do you understand why these children might have been traumatised? um isuppose might have been traumatised? um i suppose my thing is i always knew and i'm not saying this is a throwaway joke. >> i always knew that i was gay from age. so i from a very young age. so i think the thing that we have to take into consideration, but then also when i was small, when i nursery, i was i was at nursery, i was convinced i was an austin maestro, convinced maestro, and i was convinced i was dog. now i'm not taking was a dog. now i'm not taking the mickey but genuinely the mickey here, but genuinely my indulged me, i think, my mother indulged me, i think, just shut up and i used to

just to shut me up and i used to get eat jelly out the ball, get to eat jelly out the ball, and happy. i did grow and i was very happy. i did grow out of that. i think i did wear dresses nursery, you dresses at nursery, but you know, you're going to grow out of the gay or i don't of the gay thing or i don't know, quite fond. anyway, know, i'm quite fond. anyway, my point would have point being is i would have hated for anyone to have intervened in that. so think intervened in that. so i think when you about things like when you hear about things like this, you know, should not this, you know, should it not all of means tested? and all be kind of means tested? and i get that people are worried about, other about, you know, other children's that about, you know, other childofi's that about, you know, other childof stuff. that about, you know, other childof stuff. but that about, you know, other childof stuff. but shouldn't:hat about, you know, other childof stuff. but shouldn't we kind of stuff. but shouldn't we have more, more, you know, people that are qualified to enter into discussion it enter into a discussion about it with and the child? with the parents and the child? yeah, because the child's feelings that's feelings might be valid. that's right. stuff i understand >> but this stuff i understand that in a rare cases, it that in a very rare cases, it does come from the at does come from the child at a young age, but there's also many other where it's very much other cases where it's very much obvious it's coming from obvious that it's coming from the parent and it's very enforced. and can see these enforced. and you can see these videos, particularly from america, and america, where the mother and son are talking, and son daughter are talking, and it's just like they're just brainwashing them. >> this is where and >> well, this is where and unfortunately , there have been a unfortunately, there have been a lot of cutbacks to camhs, which

is a child and adolescent mental health services, but where they should getting should be actually getting involved, they should be an involved, they they should be an educational psychologist list. >> they should be a psychiatrist to come to look at this child to come in to look at this child and ascertain actually what is happening, because children say a lot of things and they say things which are the top of their head and when it comes to sex and gender, they don't really know what the difference is between a boy and a girl. if you asked a four year old, what's the difference between a mummy and a daddy? they would probably mummy has hair probably say mummy has long hair and a job. do you see and daddy has a job. do you see what i mean? they literally what i mean? but they literally say things like so they say things like that and so they have concept of gender or have no concept of gender or sex. so that they do is sex. so to think that they do is what you're really doing is putting an adult brain on a four year old child . yeah. and year old child. yeah. and they're stupid. >> yeah . >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yes. >> yes. >> oh, sorry. my grandson thinks he's spider—man. >> yeah, but your grandson is spider—man. >> yeah , well, in his mind, >> yeah, well, in his mind, yeah, but this is what i'm saying. just leave alone to saying. just leave them alone to absolutely them grow.

absolutely and let them grow. >> of course, other >> and, of course, the other thing a lot of the time thing is that a lot of the time it shows when these children grow are they have grow up, they are they have autistic tendencies also. they may gay and just and may well be gay and just and just because they want to play with dolls, some parents go, oh well, that means that this child is trans. it's like, no, is now trans. it's like, no, they're playing outside of is now trans. it's like, no, thejdifferent)laying outside of is now trans. it's like, no, thejdifferent norms. outside of is now trans. it's like, no, thejdifferent norms. my;ide of is now trans. it's like, no, thejdifferent norms. my;ide (uh, the different norms. my son, uh, when was four, he's now six, when he was four, he's now six, played with dolls. his bigger sister, and he liked to play with was fine. he with her dolls. it was fine. he dressed dress on or whatever. dressed a dress on or whatever. it didn't mean that he was trans. was messing trans. he was just messing around. was fine. and around. yeah, it was fine. and it when he started putting it was when he started putting on my dresses that there was a problem. yeah, exactly. on my dresses that there was a pro because ah, exactly. on my dresses that there was a pro because he exactly. on my dresses that there was a pro because he exa> because he did look better than you them. but no, the than you in them. but no, the reality when comes to reality is, when it comes to kids, especially that age, kids, especially at that age, childhood place where childhood is a place where children learn and they children should learn and they should explore and they should. and process of coming to and it's a process of coming to understand who are understand and who you are in the and the that the world and, and the fact that , you know, somebody can say a little boy can say, i'm a little, i'm a little girl, which i'm sure little boys said i'm sure little boys have said that and fact that for millennia. and the fact that for millennia. and the fact that now take it seriously that we now take it seriously instead of just ruffling their

hair go, of course you are, hair and go, of course you are, timmy. off you go to play and off you go to play and you go to a different you go to a different school, or you go to a different school, or you go to a now and then. a school now and then. >> everybody accept you >> everybody has to accept you as fact. and with what they as that fact. and with what they can see with their own eyes, it throws their own questions about what and what our what sex means and what our next question from michael to question is from michael to michael. thanks. michael. yeah thanks. >> um, a ukrainian woman >> um, should a ukrainian woman be japan? be crowned miss japan? >> how is . so >> it depends how fit she is. so should ukraine a woman be crowned miss japan? a woman born in ukraine has sparked controversy after being crowned miss karolina shino, 26, miss japan. karolina shino, 26, from nagoya . i hope that doesn't from nagoya. i hope that doesn't make me sound racist. became the first naturalised japanese citizen to win the pageant. she moved to the country when she was just five years old, after her mother married a japanese man. she describes herself with japanese speech and japanese in both speech and mind. what do you think about this? this is quite an interesting one. >> have all her >> does she have all her fingers? back to what you fingers? going back to what you were saying earlier, is she yakuza? first thing that i thought, she where is

thought, would she where she is than um, i don't than gloves. yes um, i don't know she's naturalised know if she's a naturalised citizen. should she not? >> well, i think the complaints from nationalists in japan is that that is that she isn't of japanese ethnicity. and the question is, how much do you define the ethnicity as japanese? she argues. define the ethnicity as japanese? she argues . and japanese? she argues. and there's valid argument there there's a valid argument there that because she that it's a mindset because she grew up in japan, went to school in japan, speaks japanese . in japan, speaks japanese. supposedly part of her supposedly she was part of her judgement about her judgement was about how she her calligraphy and by all calligraphy and uh, by all accounts , she has a japanese mindset. >> well, japanese. well, the japan fiercely japan is a fiercely nationalistic country with very strong ideas about what makes somebody japanese, and it is tied to ethnicity. so just to make that absolutely clear now, as someone from the uk with a western mindset, i would say that she is japanese. she has lived a majority of her life and certainly the majority of her childhood and adult life in japan. she speaks the language. she's a japanese citizen . she she's a japanese citizen. she might not be ethnically japanese , but she identifies as japanese. she has lived in that culture. she's a part of that

society . so to me, she should be society. so to me, she should be able to represent her country. and here's the other interesting thing. i'm sure if, let's say she was a different sex and maybe she was she became a footballer with work , world footballer with work, world class footballing ability . would class footballing ability. would the japanese football federation say, oh, you can't represent japan ? of course they would say japan? of course they would say thatis japan? of course they would say that is an absolute load of nonsense. so when it comes to self—interest, yeah. >> then, yeah. uh, it's an issue.is >> then, yeah. uh, it's an issue. is it any indication, do you think bruce ohr of japan opening up and slightly becoming less nationalistic ? or maybe less nationalistic? or maybe they're just kind of following this western idea of progressiveness and this is how they're doing it? >> it could well be them kind of opening up and trying to change their image. that could be their image. now, that could be it in a nutshell. >> she could just be >> or she could just be a particularly beautiful woman. what crazy yes. what a what a crazy yes. >> today . >> today. >> today. >> okay. our next question is from francesco. hey, francesco . from francesco. hey, francesco. >> um, would rishi sunak make a good scrooge ? good scrooge? >> yes. okay. would rishi sunak

make a good scrooge now? ebenezer scrooge will be portrayed as a tory who hates refugees in an upcoming adaptation of a christmas carol. the director said her misanthropic tory lead will be played by an indian actor, and suggested that the film could be continued as a critique of rishi sunak. now you're sighing here. >> no, of course not. >>— >> no, of course not. >> he doesn't have the personality to play scrooge . personality to play scrooge. >> oh well, rishi doesn't know that. >> does not if you think about when has rishi ever been interested? when have you ever actually listened to anything he says and goes, oh yes, please no scrooge, whatever you think of him is a strong character. there's a flavour to scrooge . there's a flavour to scrooge. you know what he thinks. does anybody here know what rishi thinks ? thinks? >> do you think they'll have hs2 , who is the polar express? because it's a christmas themed thing. >> yeah. maybe. >> yeah. maybe. >> maybe. yeah. and i'm not sure he'll be able to handle a quill because he's unable to buy the correct size of clothes, so i'm not sure he'll be able to write with ink. exactly. not sure he'll be able to write

witino,(. exactly. not sure he'll be able to write witino, i exactly. not sure he'll be able to write witino, i just :tly. not sure he'll be able to write witino, i just no, i think it's >> no, i just no, i think it's absolutely rubbish. i hate this . absolutely rubbish. i hate this. oh, they're a tory, so they're evil, blah blah blah. it's such unimaginative writing . if you're unimaginative writing. if you're going to have scrooge call somebody who is scrooge like, don't call someone who is a bland third rate management consultant . just to make a consultant. just to make a political point. >> yeah , a cheap political point. >> a cheap political point, yeah. >> no . >> no. >> no. >> and does it raise just to get like an indian and go? that's because they're an indian. thus they must be rishi sunak. that seems slightly counter—intuitive to me in terms of being progressive. >> well, i think they might be hiding behind that. why don't they say we're making it, they just say we're making it, you a parody he's you know, it's a parody and he's our aim, if you see what i mean. okay >> well, that's getting >> well, if that's getting someone, just sounded there someone, it just sounded there like, opposed getting like, as opposed to getting someone sunak, someone to portray rishi sunak, they an indian they were just getting an indian go. and could be rishi go. oh, and it could be rishi sunak it's indian. but sunak because it's indian. but we'll it when it comes out. we'll see it when it comes out. our final or actually i'm not going at all. our going to see it at all. our final question is from oshin.

>> hello, hello. >> hello, hello. >> oh, theatregoers too sensitive. >> well, kind of talked about >> well, we kind of talked about this we? yeah. this earlier, didn't we? yeah. theatregoer is becoming too sensitive, sensitive theatregoers sensitive, sensitive theatregoe|of antony and production of antony and cleopatra been told it cleopatra have been told it shows discrimination towards black warning shows discrimination towards black website warning shows discrimination towards black website the warning shows discrimination towards black website the play,ing shows discrimination towards black website the play, uh on its website says the play, uh features misogynoir references. i say that right. misogynoir references a combination of misogyny and noir. this week , a misogyny and noir. this week, a play misogyny and noir. this week, a play about the late mother, uh, the mother queen also issued a trigger warning saying it affected its attitudes, language and conventions of 1979. we heard about that earlier . we heard about that earlier. we have talked about this before. did you see the argument? what? what think? what do you think? >> about backstairs >> is this about backstairs billy? that's billy? yes, because that's mother billy? yes, because that's moyes. because that's that's >> yes. because that's that's the bit i'm interested in being an queen myself. yes. an old queen myself. yes. because mother deliver because your mother does deliver that i don't that famous line. i don't know about queens down there, but about you queens down there, but this queen wants and this queen wants a gin and tonic. are tonic. obviously things are going different it's going to be different if it's portrayed in 1979. why do people get scared of history? i'm get so scared of history? i'm not saying that any it is not saying that any of it is right. take offence, right. and if you take offence, that's completely up to but that's completely up to you. but that's completely up to you. but that's taking you that's you taking offence. you know, living in those

know, we're not living in those times anymore. whatever the problem backstage, problem is in in backstage, billy it's . in hsi. >> absolutely infantile. >> absolutely infantile. >> like you go and watch antony and cleopatra and you're offended by what the language . offended by what the language. are you not more offended that they had slaves and they had. and they had armies that killed literally thousands upon thousands of people. it's so ridiculous. it's i actually start to despair, genuinely . if start to despair, genuinely. if this if this is real or as it seems to me, it's always just going to be 1 or 2 people who moan about everything and they've just tried to moan about this. the majority of people , i this. the majority of people, i believe, go. it's a play . it's believe, go. it's a play. it's from a long time ago . it just from a long time ago. it just reflects the social mores of that particular time . i think we that particular time. i think we can all get it absolutely right. >> next i'm going to be giving my take on sir keir starmer and what he needs to do to win this. jews vote. this is free speech nafion jews vote. this is free speech nation on .

of conscription. >> you're listening to tv, news, radio. i recently heard an interesting theory about margaret thatcher, that great villain of my 80s childhood in a family that worked for the labour party. i haven't been able to verify it, but like all good stories, why let truth stand in the way of making a point when thatcher first got point? when thatcher first got into power, she was still connected to normal life and people, and as such, her policies were more tempered to reflecting their concerns. but she remained in power longer and longer, and on the throne, and she became ever more isolated to the the only people she became ever more isolated to th

only sounding board and whether he just reflected back what she wanted hear or influenced her wanted to hear or influenced her with politics, her with his own politics, her policy started to get more extreme . now, the moral of the extreme. now, the moral of the story is , is obviously that we story is, is obviously that we should only ever have bald leaders . however, we are most leaders. however, we are most likely about to get a new leader, sir keir starmer, and he has an enviously fine mane of hair and my concern about him is that even at the start of his office, he's going to be disconnected with an extremely left wing gay hairdresser, figuratively . now, i know a figuratively. now, i know a couple of people who know keir starmer, a part of his posse , starmer, a part of his posse, and they all say he's a very nice guy, a good person, which i'm sure is true. rishi sunak is probably also a nice guy, albeit one whose immense wealth serves as its own disconnect. but it's not starmer who concerns me , per not starmer who concerns me, per se. it's those people that i know who surround him . however know who surround him. however you want to label them woke , you want to label them woke, progressive the kind brigade . progressive the be kind brigade. the north london liberal elite . the north london liberal elite. and no, they're not jewish. when

it comes to a catch all phrase , it comes to a catch all phrase, the culture wars, they don't know what they're talking about and are very, very out of and they are very, very out of sync rest of the sync with the rest of the country. i believe they're the reason that when the silent majority finally was becoming aware of some of the issues raised by trans activism with a double rapist intact, mail sent to serve in a female jail with the fairness of women's sports being compromised with basic science truth under threat, keir starmer was still making ridiculous statements like 99% of women don't have a penis. even then, even when some basic reading and research into these issues would blow apart the incoherent arguments of trans activists and the valid concerns of women, he still didn't get it . and then week, starmer . and then this week, starmer gave this speech in its desperation to cling on to power at all costs . at all costs. >> the tory party is undertaking a kind of weird mccarthyism . i'm a kind of weird mccarthyism. i'm trying to find wokeist genders

in the very civic institutions they once regarded with respect . they once regarded with respect. let me tell you , waging a war on let me tell you, waging a war on the proud spirit of service in this country is not leadership. it's desperate. it's divisive , it's desperate. it's divisive, it's damaging . now apart from it's damaging. now apart from that all being a bit of a waffle and frankly, massively hypocrite article, it's evidence that either because of his advisers or his friends, keir starmer still doesn't get it. >> yes , the economy is more >> yes, the economy is more important and health, education, crime, national security. but let's not pretend that the madness we've seen take over or instituted in these last years that have permeated and arguably had negative impacts on our economy, health, education, crime, national security don't matter. critical race theory , matter. critical race theory, trans activism, decolonisation , trans activism, decolonisation, corporate wokeism, authoritarian ism, blm, cancel culture, diversity, equality are all

disseminated and adopted under the best of intentions. yet very few people in power remember under a tory government bothered to read the small print. and the thing is , these concerns about thing is, these concerns about our freedoms and fairness and increased intolerance under the guise of tolerance are outside traditional left and right politics. yes, of course, there are those on both sides of the political aisle and their respective champions in the media, including some on this channel, who utilise them as a means to make political points against the other side. but that doesn't invalidate the initial point . when the tories bash point. when the tories bash corbyn's labour for anti—semitism, that wasn't in itself evidence that anti—semitism didn't exist . anti—semitism didn't exist. personally, i think starmer has been pretty solid on anti—semitism from how toxic the party was . it's been an party was. it's been an incredible turnaround these last few years. yet even though corbyn may be gone, there's still many of his ilk, too many more are obsessed with the regional conflict. 3000 miles away than their own

constituencies. just yesterday, with holocaust memorial day, labour mp kate osamor took the disgraceful action when writing to her constituents of adding gaza to the list of genocides an inqu gaza to the list of genocides an insult to those, particularly the 6 million jews who were murdered in an actual genocides. she and a bunch of labour mps should be nowhere near the party, nowhere close to the levers of power. at least now, though, they are in the minority . and at least starmer seems to have have them somewhat under control. but still being unable to trust all elements within the party that makes his role as leader that much more vital. so what about starmer himself? there's a lot i like about him. i like that he wasn't handed everything on a plate like i was. i liked that he got to the top of his profession through hard work and determination. i like his moral stance on many issues.i like his moral stance on many issues. i that the far left issues. i like that the far left hate him with a passion which shows he's doing something right . i like that he's got the labour party to a place where it can win, and i like the

possibility naively, possibility he maybe naively, that could make this that they could make this country better , or at least not country better, or at least not any worse. that's what i think most people want for this country to be better. and a bit fairer for everybody . and i want fairer for everybody. and i want to be able to vote for labour to make that happen. i couldn't in the last few elections for obvious reasons, but i for obvious reasons, but i voted for them before. always and then things , like rosie things happen, like rosie duffield being bullied and she doesn't get any protection from the leadership at all. then stupid speeches like this week happen and we're back to square one, because there are people rightly scared of what a labour party could do if in power. what taking the knee means when a few years later, the black lives matter organisation is found to be rife with corruption and post in support and celebrates the actions of terrorists who mass raped and murdered their way through a music festival . what through a music festival. what pushing for more stringent lockdowns means for long time educational prospects . of our

educational prospects. of our children. and the answer is we don't know. now, in my world of board games, i play at home what starmer has been doing is called turtling. it's hunkering down, gathering resources, letting gathering his resources, letting everyone fight it out to everyone else fight it out to win a clean sweep at win it all in a clean sweep at the end. a valid strategy, the end. it's a valid strategy, but who exactly is going to emerge at the end? because this week's speech , as he poked week's speech, as he poked himself out of that shell, is not inspiring . so if i may be so not inspiring. so if i may be so bold to offer some advice to keir starmer, and i'm not saying to listen to me, i'm just a stand up comic who tells knob 9395, stand up comic who tells knob gags, but please stop listening to those around you and start doing your own reading. read helen joyce's trans read hannah barnes time to think. read andrew doyle's the new puritans . andrew doyle's the new puritans. maybe you won't agree with what you read , but at least you'll be you read, but at least you'll be better informed and at least you'll make your own mind, at you'll make up your own mind, at least when you give speeches on such matters, you'll speak with conviction rather than sound like someone trying to hedge

their bets. otherwise someone else like kemi badenoch, someone who knows her stuff, who speaks clearly in a way that the majority of this country understand and agree with will destroy you . because make no destroy you. because make no mistake , there is a culture war mistake, there is a culture war going on and if you continue on this path , you will lose it and this path, you will lose it and then we'll all lose . and just to then we'll all lose. and just to be safe , maybe also get a new be safe, maybe also get a new hairdresser and with a little colour tinge . thank you so , colour tinge. thank you so, francis, what do you think? can keir starmer be trusted? >> can, uh, no , no, because you >> can, uh, no, no, because you can't really trust any politician. >> that's true as far the outer caveat then as far as you can trust a politician to make people make lives better . do you people make lives better. do you think that he's just sort of saying stuff that he's saying just to kind of get elected, and then maybe he'll actually take a stance on some of these issues

in a positive way? >> well, look, let's look at his track record, for instance, on anti—semitism. he has actually been that. he has been very good on that. he has actually , he dragged labour actually, he dragged labour towards the centre and made them a more electable force . yes. the a more electable force. yes. the problem is , is the rot within problem is, is the rot within the far left and in within the left itself with some of this nonsense. yes. you do wonder , is nonsense. yes. you do wonder, is the left itself compromised ? and the left itself compromised? and does anyone within the labour party outside of rosie duffield have the courage of their convictions to actually stand up and challenge it and tackle it head on, because you're the issue that we've got is a conservatives who talk a good game but do nothing. so the reality is we've really got the worst of both worlds here. >> well, i would argue that the last election was the worst of both worlds, but certainly for me anyway. but, uh, i mean , what me anyway. but, uh, i mean, what do you think here? do you think keir starmer will be able to stand up to that far left ?

stand up to that far left? >> i'm, i'm from what i've seen , >> i'm, i'm from what i've seen, probably not. i'm to be i would rather that it was someone like, dare i say emily thornberry that was in charge because he seems to . no no, no, not not for me. to. no no, no, not not for me. okay. that's fine. sorry. i didn't mean to upset you, but you you triggered me. >> no, please. >> no, please. >> please , please go and see >> please, please go and see cleopatra . i just find it cleopatra. i just find it bizarre that you're gay bashing when got two salt and when you've got two salt and peppers. a salt and peppers. and he's a salt and peppers. and he's a salt and pepper well. so do you think pepper as well. so do you think he really colour his he should really colour his hair? look what happened he should really colour his ha cliff look what happened he should really colour his hacliff richard.)ok what happened to cliff richard. >> well, i'm glad that we've solved it with. next we're going to crossing to sydney for an to be crossing to sydney for an expert's this week's expert's view on this week's australia protest and australia day protest and whether there's a growing movement ditch the nation's movement to ditch the nation's colonial past. this is free speech season. what is it? i don't know, i can't even say it. free speech nation on .

coming up today for the great british debate this hour. i'm asking, does britain need to prioritise . woo woo .

prioritise. woo woo. >> welcome back to free speech nation. tens of thousands of australians took to the streets to protest this week against australia , a day that marks the australia, a day that marks the arrival of european colonists. more than 200 years ago. the pubuc more than 200 years ago. the public holiday is held every january 26th, every year for most australians, it means a day off work, a barbecue and some text test match cricket. but for others it's contentious. they say the date marks the arrival of europeans who heralded the start of a centuries long campaign of cultural genocide. joining discuss this from joining me to discuss this from sydney, please welcome columnist for the spectator, alexandra marshall. hello, alexandra . now marshall. hello, alexandra. now can you quickly sum up what the issues are here? well our problem is that australia day is a loved and celebrated by the vast majority of australian citizens, and it has always been the case. >> most people will consider australia day to be a lot of fun. we go out, we celebrate, we have all these activities on the harbour. if you're in sydney, it's a wonderful time and i was

down in sydney harbour dressed essentially as a walking australian flag. it was great fun. we had all the tourists were there. it was a wonderful event, but if you go to melbourne, an extremely left wing enclave down there, we had the usual group of marxist indigenous activists, which is a tiny minority backed up by the university class, who pick up any protest banner they can find, cheered on by the labour and green mps and senators who were looking for relevance and race politics. but the bulk of the people who marched down in melbourne were not australians. they were the same people who picked up the palestinian flag and marched through our streets, who through your streets who marched through your streets and things like destroy and shout things like destroy the state, the colonies must fall. this kind of thing . that's fall. this kind of thing. that's why they were holding palestinian flags in one hand. and aboriginal flags in the other. if you looked at that crowd, they were majority the same people as the palestinian process. we had there last weekend. isn't there an interesting thing, though, where a lot of indigenous cultures

support israel ? support israel? >> i know that in new zealand you have the maori's constantly doing the hacker and the. is that the same with the aborigines? because jews are indigenous to israel ? well, we indigenous to israel? well, we don't really have polls like that in australia released. >> our press won't cover it. so we can't really tell you what we do know is that the last referendum we had, only at the end of last year, the majority of indigenous people voted with the majority of australian people to reject race politics in general. so this movement of separatism, this movement that hates australia and wants to destroy the state is a minority movement being backed up by the million odd people we import every year who have no affiliation australia. and affiliation with australia. and are there waving foreign nation flags, who support mainly the marxist movement, not an australian movement . australian movement. >> so this is a left right issue.i >> so this is a left right issue. i guess that also reflects slightly a young old issue as well. but it's not about the political parties per se. 59. >> se. >> oh well, labour doesn't seem

to mind bringing in socialism and marxism by any means possible. they are playing somewhat of a ponzi scheme with immigration in australia at the moment, so they ignore some of the terrible things. if we had people shouting gas to jews in the street and our politicians did and said almost nothing, and just before australia day we had our statues and monuments being attacked, got photograph attacked, we got a photograph there screen and we've there on the screen and we've heard nothing from the labour premier victoria about this. premier in victoria about this. after press after the first press conference, no follow conference, we've had no follow up from prime minister albanese about they made about this. instead, they made sure they arrested that one bloke wrote happy australia bloke who wrote happy australia day on the side of a coal shopping centre. that's the guy they went after, not the people who filmed destroying who filmed themselves destroying our statues of captain cook. and these monuments , which appear these monuments, which appear to be person and these be the same person and these were reblogged a large were all reblogged by a large accounts on social media who were palestine accounts. so were free palestine accounts. so it's all caught up in this modern movement of black lives matter. when you have that going on. free palestine movement

on. the free palestine movement is up the tiny group of is stirring up the tiny group of black self—named activists that we have here in australia to. >> so how? well, roughly how split is the country? you said it's the melbourne sydney split, but how is that reflected? is it extreme minority who are pushing this , destroying the statues, this, destroying the statues, protesting or is the feeling larger than that . well over the larger than that. well over the last, what will we say 2 or decades? >> the marx indigenous activist group and it is a minority has not really changed much in size. they've been bulked up by some of the new universities students who, as you know , they like the who, as you know, they like the just stop oil, the climate change protesters, they pick up any protests they can. but the core group hasn't changed. and certainly the australian demographic hasn't changed in this issue have done is this issue or we have done is imported an enormous volume of people who do not have any interest in australia history , interest in australia history, her laws, her people or her culture. and they, like any activity that destroys or

changes the way people feel about the state. and you have it on your streets in the uk, just as we have. the only difference is that we have australia day and they use that to hurt us, whereas you had the last, um, uh, war memorial service, they use that in your case. they use anything they that has anything they can that has a national, um, cultural significance to our nation. they tag on to that and they try and use it to divide the nation. so you mentioned the sort of moral cowardice or silence of your political leaders . political leaders. >> how have these protests been received in the wider society ? received in the wider society? because i know within the uk i truly believe that there is a silent majority who sees people with these flags calling for genocide in israel of jews. um, but you know, you have your own flags, your own posters. is there a silent majority there who's just sick of this, who's had enough? >> well, we saw that in the referendum. the referendum they told us, was overwhelmingly support for racial issues for

and establishing a racial bureaucracy inside australia. every single state and territory except for canberra, which is our political centre, said no. so and it was not just a slight note. it was a no. we don't want that at all. since they did things like destroy the captain cook statue and say things like the colonies will fall , cook the the colonies will fall, cook the colonies, things like that . the colonies, things like that. the response on social media has been a complete change. anyone who had lingering sympathies for things like the palestinian cause is has now lost all sympathy because of the way they are treating our history. because let's not forget australia is one of the most peaceful histories in human history. every single nation has its problems. but australia , its problems. but australia, comparatively to the rest of the world, is a lesson in freedom and democracy, peace and prosperity . and so to be called prosperity. and so to be called all these horrible things by people who just arrived and who are standing aside and holding the flag of a terrorist state and saying, we like this better than australia. australian citizens have had enough of it,

quite frankly . quite frankly. >> fair enough. well, i think uk citizens feel the same way. alexandra marshall. thank you so much us. you do much forjoining us. when you do next, come on. could you please wear uh, australian flag wear your, uh, australian flag outfit? would appreciated. >> will do my >> and i will do my best. >> and i will do my best. >> good. okay. thank >> good. very good. okay. thank you much. then so coming you very much. then so coming up, soup is thrown at the mona lisa. a clown robs a petrol garage. and a man dressed as a collie takes a dog agility test. yes. it's time for social sensation . this is free speech sensation. this is free speech nafion sensation. this is free speech nation on .
