people the left and people on people on the left and people on the autocratic the right love autocratic leaders. what i found is it's not true. it absolutely is true. and also there's been so much misinformation like there's been, somebody saying, oh, been, uh, somebody saying, oh, look, tucker carlson's been putting kill list by putting this kill list by the ukrainian it ukrainian government. and it wasn't this been banging, you know , going around twitter. and know, going around twitter. and it's list made it's not a kill list made of russian made by an ngo, russian assets made by an ngo, a private ngo, not the ukrainian government. >> you're really suggesting that misinformation often goes around >> you're really suggesting that misinfori ation often goes around >> you're really suggesting that misinfori cannotften goes around >> you're really suggesting that misinfori cannot believes around >> you're really suggesting that misinfori cannot believe it. round twitter? i cannot believe it. lewis, you. what do you lewis, what do you. what do you think ? know take a think of this? i know you take a different perspective. think of this? i know you take a di is. 'ent perspective. it is. >> it has nothing with the >> it has nothing to do with the fact that he's an autocrat, that putin's autocrat bad putin's an autocrat or a bad quy- putin's an autocrat or a bad guy. whole guy. the fact is, is this whole world is in a state of war, and we're going to need russia to be on our side. russia is not going to be on your side. they won't be side, they won't be on our side, but they won't be on our side, but they won't be china . we need be joined with china. we need them strong. >> they literally are joining them strong. >> tchina.erally are joining them strong. >> tchina. they're'e joining them strong. >> tchina. they're literally| with china. they're literally using weapons. using chinese weapons. >> north korean >> they're using north korean and weapons because we and chinese weapons because we stopped that. stopped them from doing that. >> them. we should. >> we boycotted them. we should. so the so if we let them use the chinese weapons against europeans , uh, somehow they'll

europeans, uh, somehow they'll join europe . the ukraine is join europe. the ukraine is barely europe. half of a lot more european than russia . you more european than russia. you know something? i resent that you're saying that because my dna entirely from the ukraine. >> okay, so now you're making it about race. >> you're making . >> you're making. >> you're making. >> you're making. >> you're accusing him? i don't know, that just thought know, that was. i just thought i'd in. yeah, but. but i'd add that in. yeah, but. but the here is my point. my the point here is my point. my point there point is this. sometimes there is, there is. point is this. sometimes there is, “i'm; is. point is this. sometimes there is, 'i'm just. i'm just. >> i'm just. i'm just. >> i'm just. i'm just. >> what did i do? >> what did i do? >> what did i. >> what did i. >> what did i. >> it about. you >> well, you made it about. you made personal. you it made it personal. you made it about which wasn't there. >> it wasn't. >> it wasn't. >> was m accusation . >> there was false accusation. not that. was not happy about that. it was lewis . lewis. >> i've shown the card . okay, >> i've shown the card. okay, now, a story about getting fired in the guardian. now, lewis , you in the guardian. now, lewis, you can probably relate to this . can probably relate to this. >> i've got. i'm walking off the pitch. >> i'm going to go into the sin bin you sent the bin. bin you sent me in the sin bin. you'll ten minutes without you'll have ten minutes without me that's okay. maybe that >> maybe that's okay. maybe that was along. >> maybe that's okay. maybe that wasi along. >> maybe that's okay. maybe that wasi was along. >> maybe that's okay. maybe that wasi was kidding, long. >> maybe that's okay. maybe that wasi was kidding, ling. >> maybe that's okay. maybe that wasi was kidding, i was kidding, >> i was kidding, i was kidding, i kidding. on, tell us i was kidding. come on, tell us about then. i was kidding. come on, tell us aboit's then. i was kidding. come on, tell us aboit's is. then. i was kidding. come on, tell us aboit's is. the|is another >> it's this is. this is another story. i just do this story. oh, did i just do this already? do? this story. oh, did i just do this alanother do? this story. oh, did i just do this al another thing. do? this story. oh, did i just do this alanother thing. protesters this is another thing. protesters

protesting is risk. risk, risk arrest and fine. if they refuse to remove masks, this is new. this is more amendments that are sent the crime bill. sent into the crime bill. i don't know how it works in this country, but they got a bill. they out on january they bring it out on january 1st. and every single they 1st. and every single day they add 1st. and every single day they acht's like a pot filled >> it's like a crock pot filled with and with stuff getting bigger and bigger . bigger. >> and one of the to speak. >> and one of the to speak. >> no, you can speak. i'm just i was i was going to they're saying they're saying one of the rules they're saying rules is that they're saying that that police that that they that the police can force protesters show can force protesters to show their demonstrations . their faces in demonstrations. so this this where it gets so this this is where it gets complicated they're complicated because they're saying want saying that they don't want people their people to conceal their identity, to commit criminal damage, even if damage, criminal damage, even if you're on a protest, is, of course, you it. course, illegal. you know it. yeah. the just stop yeah. from some of the just stop oil but it actually oil protests. but it is actually illegal. uh, leo is it not the case that some protesters do have some education to retain their anonymity ? anonymity? uh, their anonymity? anonymity? uh, yeah. >> i mean, like, you could argue that it's a good idea to stay anonymous when you're potentially breaking the law. exactly. >> what about those people? what about their feelings and the

government's certainly changed. >> their it used >> changed their tune. it used to you've got to to be like, oh, you've got to wear if you want to wear a face mask if you want to go anywhere. now, like, go anywhere. now, it's like, you've not wear a face you've got to not wear a face mask. feel you've got to not wear a face masthey're feel you've got to not wear a face masthey're abusive feel you've got to not wear a face masthey're abusive , feel you've got to not wear a face masthey're abusive , uh,3el like they're an abusive, uh, abusive it's mental. abusive husband. it's mental. but the metropolitan police have said that . the told the said that. the told the government they don't have the powers to stop these palestinian protests that are happening en masse across uk . but masse across the uk. but somehow, i know. the same somehow, i don't know. the same police don't have police forces that don't have any have any power to stop. these have powers to stop, like women silently praying in the street. they have powers to arrest they have the powers to arrest people with jacks. so people with union jacks. so i don't know, maybe maybe the there is a worry here, isn't there? to me that >> it seems to me that continually the government keeps implementing things to clamp down on protest. it's happened before the coronation, right? just couple where they just a couple of days where they said allowed said you weren't allowed to. what have what was it? have, uh, have things could be used things that could be used to tie something else . something to something else. yeah. a bit yeah. which which seems a bit excessive to me. and noise, excessive to me. and also noise, you know, the police crime and sentencing was of sentencing bill was sort of saying if a protest too saying that if a protest is too noisy, the police shut it noisy, the police might shut it down. criminal damage is one down. now criminal damage is one thing, but all this other stuff

masks, noise . lewis, are we masks, noise. lewis, are we turning into an authoritarian regime? >> uh, yes we are, because we aren't even a regime because the problem is, is that we have so many different protesters all over that it's a it's over the place that it's a it's you know, this is basically to stop those bad protests , actors stop those bad protests, actors who are protesting bad things that we don't agree with. okay, well, that's the worry, isn't it? >> okay. well, look, we must take a contractually mandated break , but coming up, we've break now, but coming up, we've got girls doing maths got parkrun girls doing maths and pricing. and scottish alcohol pricing. don't go

one. a story about women knowing their limits. >> than half of british >> more than half of british girls lack confidence. learning maths poll and this is maths poll finds. and this is from first. some from teach first. some education. i think it says that quite a few men are not confident with maths or science, but more more women is and that that can't be. it's funny, the thing about the thing about can't be, right. >> i mean, look at carol vorderman. >> yeah, look at her. >> yeah, look at her. >> she's great maths. >> she's great at maths. >> she's great at maths. >> exception >> she's she's the exception that . that proves the rule. >> terrible at maths >> well, i am terrible at maths and not woman. >> well, i am terrible at maths ancproveiot woman. >> well, i am terrible at maths ancprove the woman. >> well, i am terrible at maths ancprove the rule. an. >> well, i am terrible at maths ancprove the rule. you >> well, i am terrible at maths anc prove the rule. you know the >> prove the rule. you know the word doesn't like word prove. it doesn't mean like prove like test the prove it. it means like test the rule. yes that's right. >> it means. that's >> that's what it means. that's what here what it means. so the issue here is that, well, what they're trying to, uh, change something is that, well, what they're tryor] to, uh, change something is that, well, what they're tryor make h, change something is that, well, what they're tryor make it change something is that, well, what they're tryor make it soange something is that, well, what they're tryor make it so that something is that, well, what they're tryor make it so that more thing is that, well, what they're tryor make it so that more girls or or make it so that more girls are doing maths or. what's the what's because this is in the guardian, recommended is guardian, the recommended is more money on teachers. >> the fact is . >> the fact is. >> the fact is. >> well, that's fair enough, isn't it? >> the fact is, girls don't have any confidence when they don't have confidence have any lack of confidence when they only fans account . hey >> and only fans account. hey miss, you are aware that that is not typical female behaviour, right? do you know what it is?

it's like the number one career choice women nowadays. have choice for women nowadays. have you heard this ? i'm. what i'm you heard this? i'm. what i'm saying is you're saying this . do saying is you're saying this. do you the truth at you know what the truth is? at the at. the truth is women don't like stem subjects. because you know what? men don't like stem subjects either. nobody likes stem, but men have to go into stem, but men have to go into stem because we're not attractive. and we have no value outside. how much money we make. >> i can't decide if this is really misogynistic or anti—male like you're all over the place . like you're all over the place. leo, you have any thoughts about this? well, this. >> see, like, girls lack >> you see, like, girls lack confidence in maths stuff confidence in maths and stuff like . and what they're like that. and what they're measuring is the confidence . measuring is the confidence. yeah, it doesn't mean girls are worse maths . just means yeah, it doesn't mean girls are worsidon'traths . just means yeah, it doesn't mean girls are worsidon't have. just means yeah, it doesn't mean girls are worsidon't have this ust means yeah, it doesn't mean girls are worsidon't have this falseieans they don't have this false bravado young do. bravado that young men do. >> excellent point. >> excellent point. >> that's right, that's right. >> that's right, that's right. >> men are delusional. >> and that men are delusional. maybe article maybe that's how the article should more. yeah. >> so mean the men are >> yeah. so i mean the men are going be gung ho. i'm great going to be gung ho. i'm great at out getting at maths going out there getting all the women all the sums wrong. the women are probably like, oh, i'm are probably being like, oh, i'm so this. and so terrible at this. and then getting all the sums right. >> when was

>> i did notice this when i was a teacher, and we were taught about the teacher about this in the teacher training, co—ed group, teaching a co—ed group, often the the first to the boys would be the first to put yeah they'll put their hands up. yeah they'll be all swagger and like, know put their hands up. yeah they'll be ianswer|ger and like, know put their hands up. yeah they'll be ianswer tor and like, know put their hands up. yeah they'll be answer to everything. know put their hands up. yeah they'll be answer to everything. often the answer to everything. often the best and brightest students would just would be the girls who just wouldn't course, would be the girls who just w0lgirls course, would be the girls who just w0lgirls would course, would be the girls who just w0lgirls would outperformiurse, the girls would outperform the boys i boys in the exams. yeah so i mean, show, mean, it just goes to show, doesn't well, got doesn't it? well, you've got a daughter. raise her daughter. you should raise her to be a bit more, a bit more like louis, you know, a bit more front you do. good think you should do. always good advice. we're going to move on to in the to this story. sad story in the guardian. is about scotland. >> that's right. scotland >> that's right. so scotland is going to raise the minimum alcohol by almost alcohol prices by almost a third. the minimum price of a third. so the minimum price of a bottle of whisky is set at £18.20. right. so this is the ministers want to put on this, this health tax to dissuade people from drinking. but also to money. it raises about to raise money. it raises about £100 million year, which pays £100 million a year, which pays for a lot of camper vans. >> but is it a cash raising measure or is it what i suspect it is, which is the snp bit doing nanny state doing its usual nanny state stuff. its nanny and stuff. it's its nanny state and it's . it's backfired. >> i mean, they say they've seen you know, it's some impact , it's you know, it's some impact, it's reduced some alcohol deaths , but

reduced some alcohol deaths, but actually deaths from substance misuse are soaring , particularly misuse are soaring, particularly as i mean, there's a big increase in alcohol abuse because of lockdown when nicola sturgeon locked everybody at home next to the next to the bottles of whisky, but also , um, bottles of whisky, but also, um, when you have minimum alcohol unit pricing, the price of a can of lager is £1.30. now, the minimum minimum price you can pay- minimum minimum price you can pay. it used to be like £0.40 or something. yes. so it makes alcohol expensive to get out of your tree on. so people then start using street barbiturates , start using street barbiturates, fentanyl, things like that. that i there's also point i mean there's also this point that, the idea that if that, you know, the idea that if you more expensive, you make alcohol more expensive, alcoholics stop alcoholics are going to stop drinking it's utterly absurd >> yeah, it's utterly absurd what will actually happen is they'll taking from they'll start taking money from they'll start taking money from the the family, from the kids, from the family, from anything you get anything else. and you get into these so and these awful situations. so and these awful situations. so and the other thing is, let's just let me high horse let me get my high horse a little here is it not the little bit. here is it not the case that this just affects the poor? know, not poor? you know, they're not bringing down the price of chablais . they're chablais or champagne. they're bringing price bringing down the price of minimum even minimum whisky. it's not even laphroaig. talking bells laphroaig. we're talking bells or teachers.

>> course it is. it's >> yeah, of course it is. it's the same thing. like with, uh, ulez. uh, or any of those ulez. or, uh, or any of those other things, so that the tax to drive around london, it's or the price of petrol . i remember when price of petrol. i remember when i came to this country and i said, well, why is it £4 a gallon back then. yeah aren't you upset? and they said, no, we're because it keeps we're not upset because it keeps the losers off the road. >> can you explain to me >> wow. can you explain to me though, the case that though, why is it the case that this is particular to snp ? this is particular to the snp? why introduce minimum why do they introduce minimum pricing on. let's say you can't have pizzas anymore. have two for one pizzas anymore. yeah they introduce yeah why do they introduce a named person scheme where everyone has have everyone has a child has to have a child a state guardian for that child even though it didn't go through. what is it about the snp? about this. snp? and i'm serious about this. why want control why do they want to control what every citizen does? >> yeah, mean, partly it's >> yeah, i mean, partly it's because scotland's a small country. sort of country. it's sort of overgoverned. we've got the scottish parliament, it doesn't need need need a it doesn't need a parliament, needs a guy with parliament, it needs a guy with a stick. you what i mean? parliament, it needs a guy with a sti scotland what i mean? parliament, it needs a guy with a sti scotland isn't, hat i mean? parliament, it needs a guy with a sti scotland isn't, youi mean? parliament, it needs a guy with a sti scotland isn't, you know,|? like scotland isn't, you know, the united states america . the united states of america. yeah. so they've this , yeah. so they've got all this, these sort of technocrats and bureaucrats and ngos and

advisers and they just need to sweep all that away . it's sweep all that away. it's a bizarre mixture of technocracy and complete and utter incompetence . incompetence. >> and it's also that they bring people like humza yousaf in who's most who's about the most authoritarian politician i've ever know that ever seen? yeah. you know that wasn't a idea. anyway, wasn't a good idea. anyway, let's to friday's let's move on now to friday's times news of the wrongful arrest legitimate cannot miss arrest of legitimate cannot miss users. lewis, what are legitimate cannabis users? >> legitimate cannabis users are people who are claiming that they're using for medicinal they're using it for medicinal purposes it's not legal. purposes because it's not legal. it says ignorance foiling medical cannabis use and because cannabis is not legal in this country. still yes. right. >> so unless you're ill, right. >> so unless you're ill, right. >> unless you're ill, you might have to get some sort of thing. but there's lots of people who are and what this what are using it and what this what this is interesting because this is an article. is a piece is an article. this is a piece that's basically prepared by lawyers saying there are 3000 cannabis attorneys who are just in case you have any problems you can call up. what's the name of it? kingsley napley, they're excellent with this . so now excellent with this. so now you're advertising this. is
