you seriously saying you want to let keir starman's number 10, just because you hate the tories so much? yes >> by the way, sorry. yes. sorry you reform took a tory you say the reform took a tory tory party doesn't own reform votes. it doesn't own anyone's vote. it has to earn votes. and i'd say if you want to win the election, get rid of the liberal democrats. i know who they where are they? i always want to be a party. i say it every week. i mean, yes, the liberal democrats in your party know and secondly, it's hq that are it's conservative hq that are the so you change the problem. so you can change the problem. so you can change the you like, of the the leader, if you like, of the tory party the vehicle remains the same liberal and the same weak liberal and totally submissive to bad international . human rights law, international. human rights law, high taxes, an open border literally saw the vote for reform, get labour. >> good. that's exactly what we want. we don't. >> benjamin bosworth happy. are you you are i fundamentally disagree with you, alby, because i hate this idea that you take away choice from voters on the left. >> we've long had an equivalent, which the liberal democrats which is the liberal democrats and the latter and the green party. the latter is increasingly well, and is doing increasingly well, and they votes from the labour

they take votes from the labour party in some seats. look, i might not like that because i think, sir keir starmer will be an outstanding prime minister but disagree strongly with but i disagree strongly with this progressive coalition suggestion that some on the left make, because people are entitled to have the full choice. and frankly, think the choice. and frankly, i think the lib and greens are very lib dems and greens are very different. i don't accept they're the and so they're the same. and so actually, i you show a lot actually, i think you show a lot of weakness when you try and dictate to the voter, because i tell you what never works. politicians how politicians telling voters how to i'm not telling voters politicians telling voters how to to i'm not telling voters politicians telling voters how to to think. 1ot telling voters how to think. >> merely explaining we >> i'm merely explaining what we saw week, which saw earlier on this week, which was you aren't someone on the was if you aren't someone on the right of british politics and you for the reform party, you vote for the reform party, it let the labour it is going to let the labour party in. that what happened. party in. that is what happened. i'm but that's what i'm sorry, but that's what happened wellingborough.|'m, happened in wellingborough. i'm, you i'm you know, you know, i'm not you know, i don't to i don't care if don't mean to i don't care if people are with that. people are upset with that. people wanting the tories people not wanting the tories will the party in. will let the labour party in. >> not that complicated. >> it's not that complicated. the have no one but themselves. >> to darren, blame for not getting power. don't blame getting in power. don't blame reform voters. they've they've taken their taken the trust of their conservative on conservative supporters, spat on

it, and said, oh it, chewed it out and said, oh please vote for us. please trust us this time. yes there are a few points ed davey. >> i mean, the hell's he >> i mean, where the hell's he gone? >> who are the liberal democrats ? >> 7- >> it's like, 7 >> it's like, where's ? >> it's like, where's wally? >> it's like, where's wally? >> just for the viewers >> just just for the viewers information. leader information. that's the leader of liberal. information. that's the leader of yes, beral. information. that's the leader of yes, yes,l. information. that's the leader of yes, yes, exactly. since the >> yes, yes, exactly. since the post office scandal, he's gone into hiding and the point into hiding and the second point i make is that actually, i i would make is that actually, i don't think conservative voters overwhelmingly backed reform . i overwhelmingly backed reform. i think many of them just didn't come just refused to come out. they just refused to vote . and that leads on to vote. and that leads on to my third point. that's because they feel utterly let down when they feel utterly let down when they feel that that 2019 promise, which was manifested from the 2016 promise of taking back control and everything that brexit offered the people of this country , i think we all this country, i think we all feel massively let down by the conservative party. >> did you see for the first time? well, he gave the clearest hint yet yesterday. nigel farage he said he was answering a question about whether he would suther question about whether he would slither the conservative slither into the conservative party. once it's all said and done and they're, you know,

you're listening to gb news radio show .

radio show. >> welcome back to the saturday five. as always. cheers for your company and your emails. we have got one here from russell who has written in and he very blithely says, has albee been smoking crack? well the dog that's in the after dark saturday five. we'll find out. just says the only way we can have a fair election is to ban postal voting , except for postal voting, except for housebound and disabled people. i think there's a real conversation to be had about that. linda says. a vote for reform is a vote for reform. um, it's reform is a vote for reform. um, wsfime reform is a vote for reform. um, it's time to vote for what we want. conservatives will pay a price for their betrayal. and then chris, good evening chris. he it's time for proportion he says it's time for proportion representation instead of only tory or labour getting power. it's ridiculous that parties like have a like reform can never have a chance of winning. well, now it's chance of winning. well, now wsfime chance of winning. well, now it's time for our next debate, folks. belinda is going to lead our next discussion. belinda what's caught your eye? well, king kahn's latest remodelling of his kingdom of london in the

form of renaming six train lines, is a worrying sign of what is to come under a labour government for the whole country i >> -- >> two of 5mm >> two of the train lines are renamed lioness and suffragette from the very labour woke bngade from the very labour woke brigade , who champion a man's brigade, who champion a man's right to access women's safe spaces and destroy women's sports . peak hypocrisy. there. sports. peak hypocrisy. there. one is renamed windrush line. all credit to those who helped rebuild parts of london after world war ii. but you can bet that renaming anything after the white working class, the very impoverished hands that built this ancient country and capital over two millennia, will never happen under labour. and who gets to decide anyway? the perpetual offended labour voting britain bashers we've seen how labour councils froth at the mouth, replacing many british street names already. we don't demand towns or cities named by our viking and roman colonisers like scunthorpe or london are renamed because we can

contextualise history , something contextualise history, something labour clearly lacked the intelligence to do so once blm kneeling, keir is in power. woke lectures at every turn will be on turbocharge at huge cost to the taxpayer. khan has just given us a taste of what's to come . so now, despite this come. so now, despite this costing the taxpayer millions, i think it was 6.3 million. on his latest woke vanity project. can you imagine when keir comes into power and he is the king of identity politics? are all our street city names street names? i mean, is manchester going to be renamed? they chester to be inclusive? i mean, what is going to happen? can the tories not quickly pass a law before they go to stop the naming of our historic streets and places? and, and this woke trainline? >> do you know what gets me, beunda? >> do you know what gets me, belinda? fact belinda? it's the fact that actually this country, actually in this country, we used to have this it basically the of the name the politicisation of the name of lines and things like that was never politicised . and it was never politicised. and it was never politicised. and it was always seen as a you know, you would either name it after a

royal or something like that. and now we've got this. it's almost soviet esque in its desire to actually create a form of , um, but desire to actually create a form of, um, but basically marxism 101, which is actually saying instead of naming things after great individuals, we're going to name things after abstract concepts like the nhs or, you know, the suffragettes . um, and know, the suffragettes. um, and i actually worry about moving down that sort of direction . down that sort of direction. where we actually forget about the great people , as you rightly the great people, as you rightly say, who built this great nation. >> has that got to do with marxism? >> i just didn't quite get that, because the soviets actually used actually talk about used to actually talk about abstract concepts like farming. well at leningrad. well look at leningrad. yes, stalin grad. >> mean, you know, they named >> i mean, you know, they named political people. well, they're named very political named it's a very political movement. these these are movement. these are these are more i'm not saying more movements. i'm not saying no should anything. no one should name anything. window rush or suffragette. i'm just the country. just saying consult the country. have a of a local mini have a sort of a local mini referendum. get the referendum. get 50% of the people there there's people out there if there's going be something as

going to be something as fundamental change, tell fundamental as change, if i tell you hopping lioness, i'll you hopping on the lioness, i'll get done for a hate crime. >> they extensive >> they did extensive consultation with communities, >> they did extensive consthat'sin with communities, >> they did extensive consthat's howth communities, >> they did extensive consthat's how these1munities, >> they did extensive consthat's how these nameses, >> they did extensive consthat's how these names would and that's how these names would come i think that come up with. so i think that answers your question. >> labour voting, britain >> no labour voting, britain bashing type communities. you know , for you, labour is far know, for you, labour is far more anti—british and anti patriotic. >> they lobby for the benjamin butterworth line. but unfortunately i voted out. but the truth is that, you know, you're saying that this is a politicisation of these situations actually we have places like east india quay that's a stop on the docklands light railway. you can put that into that is named after a company that was indulging in slave trade , which is abhorrent. slave trade, which is abhorrent. i bet. hang on. no no no, let me finish. don't talk over me. the fact is that we name things after slave traders and you for after slave traders and you for a long time have furiously defended that as being part of our history. why is it okay our history. so why is it okay to slave to name after slave trading companies, after women companies, but not after women who fought for the vote? >> button the >> benjamin button with the names rubbish. that's names are just rubbish. that's the problem. bet the five of the problem. i bet the five of us actually come the

us actually come answer the question. the five of us could come up with better names than the sadiq khan and the names that sadiq khan and his minions. >> w- e had some his minions. >> had some good >> spikes online had some good ideas. sorry. >> can i just say the >> can i just say ask the question why okay name >> can i just say ask the questafterrhy okay name >> can i just say ask the quest after slave okay name >> can i just say ask the quest after slave traders name >> can i just say ask the quest after slave traders butame stuff after slave traders but not suffragettes? because they weren't lionesses or doctors. >> named >> the streets weren't named because slave traders. because they were slave traders. they celebrating they were celebrating the slave trade naming it was trade by naming them. it was because men with tenure because those men with tenure links to slavery went on and did great things for the countries built hospitals like saint guy's hospital , you know, built hospital, you know, built libraries, built universities . libraries, built universities. and that's why they had a street named them. named after them. >> why not things after >> so why not name things after the suffragettes the same the suffragettes by the same argument? spoken. argument? you've spoken. >> they were like >> they they were like a terrorist organisation, basically suffragists. terrorist organisation, basi(it's' suffragists. terrorist organisation, basi(it's coming suffragists. terrorist organisation, basi(it's coming out,fragists. terrorist organisation, basi(it's coming out, now;ts. terrorist organisation, basi(it's coming out, now it's now it's coming out, now it's true. did i say anything inaccurate? just there. >> you're exactly the same reason wouldn't reason we wouldn't be able to have a churchill which is have a churchill line, which is what would have, by the way, what i would have, by the way, or line. people like you. >> sorry, i think i think you're actually the problem with churchill is that he was a massive racist. i think you're all think you're all missing all i think you're all missing the point. all getting

the point. you're all getting bogged name bogged down in why can't we name it after this and this when the actual, uh, situation is everyone's they're everyone's skint, they're cash strapped, is strapped, yet sadiq khan is spending taxpayer spending £6 million of taxpayer money the tube line. money renaming the tube line. well, what's the point well, hang on, what's the point of that? >> got e“. >> we've got to say what we would call a line. i've said churchill line. belinda, what we do call one. >> oh, well, i'd always do churchill or farage thatcherite. >> line. the line's >> farage line. the line's actually line. actually already line. >> i wouldn't, i prefer, >> no, i wouldn't, i prefer, i prefer a cameron line, the prefer a cameron line, but the lighter the line's actually already had names of the north london line, the south london line and the east london. >> point. he spent £6 >> that's my point. he spent £6 million on what? what's million on it. for what? what's my line? what's your line? county lines? >> yeah, i hope not. >> yeah, i hope not. >> no, i don't know what i'd call the line, but i think you tories are just angry because it's not got a double barrelled name, that's all. >> no, i think up and down the country, if labour get in, you will see precious historic street names, university place names completely changed and replaced millions replaced at the cost of millions to taxpayer, says benjamin butterworth. >> indeed. >> well, yes indeed. >> well, yes indeed. >> now email in gb views >> now folks, email in gb views at gb news. com with your line

now asking now still ahead, i'll be asking why john lewis are giving kids advice breast binders. but advice on breast binders. but next, benjamin lead the way next, benjamin will lead the way as discuss the shock and rise as we discuss the shock and rise in anti—semitism and the continuing in the middle continuing war in the middle east. for east. calls continue for a ceasefire but were having none of this studio. we'll of it in this studio. we'll carry on giving benjamin the stick that he deserves. you with the saturday five live on gb news

use it as a shield to keep him away from things. >> you're listening to gb news radio . radio. >> welcome back to the saturday five. as always, cheers for your company and cheers for your emails. valerie's just written in and she's not holding back, shall we say? she says the east india quay is named after the east india dock, which is its old name, and it was named after the india company that the east india company that built benjamin argument is built it. benjamin argument is like selfridges can't be like saying selfridges can't be named after selfridges because the owner a bad man. mind the owner was a bad man. mind you, if the left had their way, they probably would say that. well, valerie , and then well, said valerie, and then actually had a bit of

actually we had a bit of criticism for me. chris has written in and chris says actually, she has a lot of sympathy and time for prince harry having to live with queen camilla, the woman who of course broke up the marriage of her princess diana and the king. the now king, which is fair enough. and helen says the train line renaming is totally stupid and confusing, especially if you don't use them daily. people outside of london probably, you know, very confused. >> yeah, but coming to a town near you soon, the whole lot. >> benjamin butterworth will be on the renaming committee now, though, it's time for our next debate. it is indeed benjamin. benjamin, what have you got for us? >> well, the news came this week that every jew in britain already knew anti—semitism is at its highest in 40 years, up 589% since the slaughter of innocent israelis on the 7th of october. isn't that disgusting? what other group sees their own people slaughtered overseas , people slaughtered overseas, then becomes the victim of hate

crimes in a foreign country? you don't see russians receiving that kind of racism because of the vile acts of vladimir putin. and i think that tells you a lot. you know, the fact is that some of these people on the palestine protests , the likes of palestine protests, the likes of which we saw again today, which we saw yet again today, they're it because they're they're doing it because they're concerned well—being concerned about the well—being of gaza and about the of people in gaza and about the stability of the middle east. but others there are doing it out of a hatred of israel. that manifests in hatred of jews. manifests in a hatred of jews. they are calling a foreign diaspora responsible for the action. they're holding a diaspora in this country responsible. pardon me for the actions of a foreign state. now you know what? call a spade a spade. you know what? call a spade a spade . that is racism . and spade. that is racism. and israel has a right to defend itself, but not like this. >> it doesn't. benjamin, i don't think israel has the right to tell people to go to rafah bomb the rest of the country and then ask them to leave rafah to the parts of the country that they've just bombed because they want to bomb rafah. well, that's not reasonable , is it? not reasonable, is it? >> i've got good news for you,

albie. there's a really simple way solve that. that those way to solve that. that those thousands marching and thousands of people marching and screaming streets screaming on the streets can listen and called listen to, and it's called giving back the hostages. >> but how can you >> and i agree, but how can you say israel has a right to defend itself? if there's no itself? as if as if there's no limit on what that right could be? benjamin, i do think they've got a right to defend themselves, this. themselves, but not like this. >> know i say? i say >> you know what i say? i say bnng >> you know what i say? i say bring them home. okay. it's written on my t shirt. this is the kind of that people in the kind of thing that people in the kind of thing that people in the are saying the streets are saying and chanting, and they get anti—semitic because of anti—semitic abuse because of it. think we should it. and i don't think we should have area it comes have a grey area when it comes to that. >> i agree you. do you know >> i agree with you. do you know what these protests started even before israel had lifted a finger in retaliation? it was a day after october the day or two after october the 7th, to me says it all. 7th, which to me says it all. however, that doesn't mean that and joe and the us has said this. joe biden said this. that biden has said this. that doesn't mean that they're allowed indiscriminately bomb allowed to indiscriminately bomb what did you say? well, what did you say? oh, well, that's biden it. it must be. >> well, he's well, many people have said it. let me finish my point. that doesn't mean that israel indiscriminately bomb israel can indiscriminately bomb the of with. and

the hell out of gaza with. and this my biggest this is my most my biggest concern, deaths of thousands concern, the deaths of thousands of children. there of innocent children. there seems the israeli seems to be, from the israeli side, concept that somehow side, this concept that somehow israeli worth israeli kids lives are worth more palestinian more than palestinian lives. i want them to stop the killing of all children. then back all children. then i back israel's right defend itself. israel's right to defend itself. of course . and if you saw the of course. and if you saw the scenes on the streets of london today, absolute clowns walking around including, around with placards including, for don't for some reason, uh, don't attack yemen or something akin to that doesn't mean to that, but that doesn't mean that have indiscriminate that we can have indiscriminate bombing of, uh, of gaza . bombing of, uh, of gaza. >> the bombing, of course, is not what anybody wants in principle. of course, i, like everybody else, wants a ceasefire. what we have is ceasefire. but what we have is people ignoring the fact that hamas has turned down any chance of a ceasefire. it believes in perpetuity in attacking israel until and this is in its constitution, it eradicates the jewish state. and lots of these people on the streets are actually supporters of hamas. i think we've got video. yeah think we've got a video. yeah i agree, of this being , uh, agree, okay, of this being, uh, having muck thrown at them today because were saying hamas because they were saying hamas is group is a terrorist group organisation. don't do that to

him. >> don't know . him. >> don't know. him, please . man. >> don't know. him, please. man. man . man. >> now, isn't that deplorable ? >> now, isn't that deplorable? >> now, isn't that deplorable? >> i would have loved to have been down there today. >> don't you understand, haaland, that these people are sympathise terrorists? i sympathise with terrorists? i do, shouldn't have do, and you shouldn't have a grey in taking them off. grey area in taking them off. >> absolutely, because it's >> i absolutely, because it's not as that. it's not not as binary as that. it's not just israel, right. palestine hamas. you need to hamas. wrong. it's you need to be there indiscriminately bombing absolutely agree bombing gaza. i absolutely agree with points. those with you on all points. those people today, as people in london today, and as we've for the past months, we've seen for the past months, a of them absolute clowns. >> that's just not true. as far as urban warfare is concerned. the fact that actually israel is indiscriminately bombing, that's the fact that actually israel is inditrue. inately bombing, that's the fact that actually israel is inditrue. there'sbombing, that's the fact that actually israel is inditrue. there's too bing, that's the fact that actually israel is inditrue. there's too manythat's not true. there's too many children dead. urban warfare is concerned. the un averages for the loss of life in israel . what the loss of life in israel. what they've managed to do in gaza is far below the average of death, or thousands of thousands of dead kids in thousands of people that work and support hamas have been killed. and actually, i

think that's a damn good thing. after what hamas . after what hamas. >> what do you say about the dead kids in palestine? >> i say that that the >> i say that actually that the hamas give the hamas ought to give up the hostages and then this wouldn't happen. >> say that it's bad for palestinians to be killed, to have ceasefire only the other have a ceasefire only the other day. >> and they were point blank. >> and they were point blank. >> and they were point blank. >> and until say no. >> and until say no. >> and until say no. >> and i think it's disgusting. why can't you just say it's bad for palestinian kids to be killed? you say it's okay that hamas don't have underground tunnels. well, i have said this many where just said many where you just said i have. >> said many times on the >> i have said many times on the show, darren grimes, that i think what hamas have done to israel just glibly israel is but you just glibly and naively just said that they should get out. >> however, you, however, can't say bad for say that it's bad for palestinian killed, palestinian kids to be killed, that don't right to that they don't have a right to be time out, time out guys be okay. time out, time out guys don't right to be in a don't have a right to be in a time out. i think on that clip, what's absolutely baffling me what's absolutely baffling to me is like albie aren't is that people like albie aren't backed. the police don't say to them, right, you can't actually harass this man and throw dirt a

double standard. they actually turn round and say, you don't have a right to say no. >> they say, hide your david starkey star of david. >> they say, hide your david sta peaceful of david. >> they say, hide your david sta peaceful protesters might >> peaceful protesters might attack you. >> right? my i'm completely >> right? so my i'm completely and with benjamin i and utterly with benjamin 100. i think being killed, think children being killed, innocent children killed think children being killed, inn overt children killed think children being killed, inn overt chiworld killed think children being killed, inn overt chiworld at killed think children being killed, inn overt chiworld at the lilled think children being killed, inn overt chiworld at the moment all over the world at the moment . it's horrific. every child . it's horrific. and every child child's death is equally as horrific . tens of thousands are horrific. tens of thousands are being killed in nigeria at the moment. got people, women moment. you've got people, women , being , children, people being persecuted and killed in many conflict zones all the way around the world. and yet no one speaks up them and the speaks up about them and the reason why children and women and innocent men, the ones that are there, that are innocent, are there, that are innocent, are being killed in palestine is because using them as because hamas are using them as a shield. they are a human shield. they are literally protecting their selves putting their people selves by putting their people in front of them to die. they are the murderers. has are the murderers. israel has gone efforts. we've gone to such efforts. we've never gone to those efforts in iraq or when we bombed nazi germany. send them germany. we didn't send them leaflets evacuate leaflets and try and evacuate the civilians then. israel the civilians then. but israel has done so much. they've done all that can, and they'll all that they can, and they'll be doing the world a favour to
