better get everything in order, because when she's coming down that high street, they just were running like flies. so we never understood anything about this thing privilege . it thing called white privilege. it was kind of like, what is this thing going on? because we ran things, know? yeah. and that thing going on? because we ran thingof know? yeah. and that thing going on? because we ran thingof jamaican? yeah. and that thing going on? because we ran thingof jamaican kind h. and that thing going on? because we ran thingof jamaican kind ofand that thing going on? because we ran thingof jamaican kind of ,nd that thing going on? because we ran thingof jamaican kind of, if that kind of jamaican kind of, i suppose, self—confidence that seems just escaped this seems to have just escaped this new generation, you know, kind of was what they brought that over with them. >> and weirdly, people think this is controversial , what this is controversial, what you're saying now. there are you're saying now. but there are a people in society now a lot of people in society now who told they will always be who are told they will always be oppressed. always be oppressed. they will always be downtrodden, oppressed. they will always be downtrodde|certain sections people, but certain sections of the community. but is that helpful? that it's not helpful. >> and i want to say is >> and what i want to say is that this also can actually hit certain communities. don't certain communities. i don't want liverpool a lot, want to pick on liverpool a lot, but that i will do. i mean, in a sense, can get yourself in sense, you can get yourself in this sort of situation where everybody against us, all everybody is against us, all worlds against us, that kind of notion. think that what notion. and i think that what that's tended to happen here and when, in fact, the reality when, when in fact, the reality is something different, as numbers in that report tells you

it's going elsewhere. >> it's interesting that you mention your mother as well, because, of course, what one of the things you in the book so the things you do in the book so convincingly talk the convincingly is talk about the family so family and how family is so important communities important in certain communities in black communities. can you talk little bit about that? talk a little bit about that? >> i mean, a sense it >> well, i mean, in a sense it can explain why there is a difference within. that's what we did in the report. we didn't want lump everybody together want to lump everybody together as acronyms want to lump everybody together as bame acronyms want to lump everybody together as bame or acronyms want to lump everybody together as bame or whatever, ms want to lump everybody together as bame or whatever, because called bame or whatever, because we're same. so for we're not all the same. so for example, communities of example, the communities of canbbean example, the communities of caribbean and nigerian a caribbean origin and nigerian a really running different numbers at the at the moment. and also in the past, i mean, and that explained a lot of the reasons why. in fact , in schools you can why. in fact, in schools you can have a whole classroom of black children and the nigerian children and the nigerian children who you wouldn't face, that you wouldn't sort of know the suppose, were the difference, i suppose, were doing better than any other doing much better than any other group. and then the caribbean group. and then the caribbean group was were doing poorly. but then when you, when you, when you the numbers on top, you put the numbers on top, canbbean you put the numbers on top, caribbean running nearly 65% caribbean was running nearly 65% single parents, whereas the

nigerians were running way under 30. yeah. and so you then began to say, well, is this is the is the gcse results to do with the horrible racist white teacher or is it to do with something to do with the family? >> so that's so interesting because so many people have said, you know, the educational system institutionally said, you know, the educational systenthat'stitutionally said, you know, the educational systenthat's right.�*|ally said, you know, the educational systenthat's right. but' you racist. that's right. but as you say, is, it the say, if it is, why is it the case that children from african heritage white heritage are outperforming white pupils, caribbean pupils, but from caribbean heritage not, it's a very heritage or not, it's a very targeted racism. it targeted form of racism. if it is, it is and it's a strange one, but it's one that we've grown up to because we feel that we make these we just make these generalisations and generalisations about groups and then we can't kind of get then we, we can't kind of get out of that. >> yes. i mean, what's positive about the book and about what i'm trying to say that i'm i'm trying to say is that i'm optimistic because i think that particular nigerian are particular nigerian group are doing . they're going to doing so well. they're going to go you're seeing like go on. you're seeing people like kemi seeing all kemi badenoch, you're seeing all these people coming up these kind of people coming up now. a it's a new day, now. it's a new it's a new day, you and we don't want to you know, and we don't want to hear that misery anymore. hear that misery story anymore. you suppose your critics you know, i suppose your critics might but, know, are might say, but, you know, are you a single

you suggesting that a single parent family can't be effective, loving, effective, can't be loving, can't, allow a child to can't, can't allow a child to flourish? >> well, saw my mother. >> well, you saw my mother. >> well, you saw my mother. >> was the. she was the >> she was the. she was the black maggie going black maggie thatcher going through with her through the whole thing with her handbag i so handbag. kind of. i mean, so i've been up in, in with i've been brought up in, in with very strong black females and that will, there will always be the case. the men were really in the case. the men were really in the margins in some ways, yes. and so i don't really see that as the what it does, it as the issue. what it does, it has implications. because as the issue. what it does, it heyou implications. because as the issue. what it does, it heyou don'tnplications. because as the issue. what it does, it heyou don't recognise,;. because if you don't recognise, for example, child is playing example, that a child is playing up in a situation, often it's because the mum and dad or the partner is, is in the background and they're fighting over money and they're fighting over money and child support, things like that. and so you can't get to because i think there's a teacher i used go back and teacher i used to go back and find out what were the real reasons this playing reasons why this boy was playing up. back to the up. and you go back to the family, you actually uncover that not have unconscious that not have mass unconscious bias the whole bias training for the whole staff, that tells people that whatever, that's a massive distraction from what is going on in terms of the family. distraction from what is going on in terms of the family . and on in terms of the family. and we don't really want to go there because we feel that it's sort

of politically incorrect to kind of politically incorrect to kind of go back to the family. it blames the victim. and i think that's wrong. >> mentioned white >> and you mentioned white privilege a concept. this is privilege as a concept. this is something obviously has something that is obviously has developed years. but something that is obviously has dethatped years. but something that is obviously has dethat a d years. but something that is obviously has dethat a helpful years. but something that is obviously has dethat a helpful way?ears. but something that is obviously has dethat a helpful way? irs. but something that is obviously has dethat a helpful way? i mean, is that a helpful way? i mean, you could well , it is that a helpful way? i mean, you could well, it is is that a helpful way? i mean, you could well , it is true you could say, well, it is true that a predominantly white that in a predominantly white country, white people are unlikely to face racial discrimination. therefore, they have privilege . so why have a form of privilege. so why is that an unhelpful framework? >> i think life i've never >> i think in my life i've never like, see, this is quite interesting when you see it doesn't happen all the time. but i think sometimes people feel that they have to say this. they have to go on if they're successful. let's say how i overcome because cause i overcome because cause i overcome this white person who was in front of me. well, i never had any person trying to trip me up or anything. i've never had jeopardy. i never had that jeopardy. i didn't experience but didn't experience racism, but i've jeopardy . so i've never had that jeopardy. so i've never had that jeopardy. so i think that, i think this this whole idea of, the idea that the privilege is stuck with you is difficult because the numbers don't show that the numbers show a more complex story. and in

fact, what i argue for is a different kind of way of almost looking at success. could it be that what we need to do now, this would be really great, is to say to thinking in london, where the exam where we have the great exam results, particularly for black children. now, why don't we go and say, right, all you london kids and all you london teachers go and help the white kids in hartlepool in almost reverse. missionaries go out there and help help those poor white kids on the on the on the coastline who are not doing well. so it's a completely different framework of looking at yourself, not as some sort of victim, powerless , some sort of victim, powerless, but you are the agency to help your own country . and this is your own country. and this is the idea that britain is owned is owned by all of us. it's ours. it's not just little groups that have it have some privilege. and so that's that's how you should people should be seeing it now that we should go out there and help other people. >> but then you see some critics saying, black

saying, but, you know, black children, you shouldn't teach them shakespeare them about mozart or shakespeare because, you know, they can't relate individual. relate to that individual. >> you should listen, >> you know, you should listen, let you a story. i used let me tell you a story. i used to teach jamaica. and you to teach in jamaica. and you know to love know what? the kids used to love chaucer's bath. the chaucer's wife of bath. the reason kids loved reason why jamaican kids loved it they related to wife it is that they related to wife of dance or situations of bath to dance or situations in and so they could in jamaica, and so they could relate to her and all her antics and the sex and everything else they could see all around them. and they could, and they loved it. and they loved, they loved, macbeth. they loved all those stories. we just we to stories. and we just we used to jamaican ize them, we used jamaican ize them, and we used to them. so the witches to make them. so the witches would dancehall queens would be like dancehall queens and things like that. >> yeah, be great. >> yeah, it'd be great. >> yeah, it'd be great. >> shakespeare is in the >> and so shakespeare is in the curriculum jamaica. they dare curriculum in jamaica. they dare not that you know . not take that off, you know. and, it's kind of ironic, you know, there's a there's a poet, louise bennett, who's who . louise bennett, who's who. somebody cancelled somebody a horrible white male was cancelled for something. somebody writing . and they put somebody writing. and they put in louise bennett. now, ironically, louise bennett loved

shakespeare, so they've cancelled somebody who she, you know , the swap around has been know, the swap around has been wrong. yeah. so no , no, we love wrong. yeah. so no, no, we love the classics. >> i mean, it's interesting because, you know, shakespeare belongs to all of us. that's right. >> yeah. that's right. >> yeah. that's right. >> yeah. that's right. >> yeah. and that's one of the great about your book great things about your book and about the that done about the work that you've done is think you're creating is that i think you're creating a really optimistic, positive message for people. message for young people. but why that generates message for young people. but why hostility that generates message for young people. but why hostility that you're|tes so much hostility that you're changing the narrative? >> been >> because we've been we've been brought this sort of brought up in this sort of misery that black misery narrative that black people black kids and people and black kids and whatever down you whatever are down there in, you know, in the bottom of the well and ever the for them, the story will be a negative one. we can't give them a positive story and also, i think it's even more positive in the sense that are they really, in a sense a template for the answer for the whole country. so there are positive template, yet nobody wants to talk to them about that. you let me give you one , that. you let me give you one, one sad example. there was a friend of mine . he had two friend of mine. he had two daughters, but one went to oxford, one went to cambridge.

black to do to do medicine. yeah and we just flew through great grey days. whatever the one of the daughters said, can we have a party to celebrate? because the, the, the friends around were doing poorly. he said no chance because he didn't want to embarrass the rest of the community. so i'm in a kind of community, this kind of hate success, you know, it's embarrassed to be successful. >> isn't that so interesting? well, your book is called black success. yeah, the surprising truth that is available now. i would highly recommend tony truth that is available now. i would hthank'ecommend tony truth that is available now. i would hthank you nmend tony truth that is available now. i would hthank you so end tony truth that is available now. i would hthank you so much. tony truth that is available now. i would hthank you so much. thank sowell, thank you so much. thank you. appreciate thank you. really appreciate it. thank you. really appreciate it. thank you . and next on free speech you. and next on free speech nation, sarah phillimore and doctor kate coleman will be here to tell us all about their manifesto for policing . don't go manifesto for policing. don't go anywhere

welcome back to free speech nafion welcome back to free speech nation with me, andrew doyle. later in the show, i'll be turning agony uncle with the help of my panel, cressida wetton and bruce devlin, we're going to help you deal with your unfiltered us unfiltered dilemmas. so email us at gb news. com and at gb views at gb news. com and we'll try our best to answer all of your personal problems. believe last month, believe me. now, last month, scarlett blake was sentenced to life in prison for murder. but thames valley police recorded the trans murderer as female. despite being sent to a male prison campaign group's fair cop and keep prisons single sex. say this is another example where policing has prioritised gender identity over biological sex, and together they've launched a manifesto in advance of this may's police and crime commissioner elections. and to tell us more , i'm delighted to tell us more, i'm delighted to be joined by doctor kate coleman from single sex and from keep prisons single sex and co—founder we are fair cop. co—founder of we are fair cop. sarah , who thank you sarah phillimore, who thank you for the first example of scarlett blake, is just one of many. it's not just the media misreporting the sex of criminals, it's also the police

in their recordings. well, exactly. >> i really pleased that you >> i was really pleased that you open with scarlett, actually, and particularly and this was a particularly horrific crime. i'm we can horrific crime. i'm sure we can all but it's absolutely all agree, but it's absolutely vital that the sex registered at birth of offenders is recorded accurately by police forces and the case of scarlett break of scarlett blake is by no means an anomaly. yes, we conduct a yearly exercise where we ascertain how police forces nationally are recording the sex registered at birth of suspects in their crime and incident reports, and our 2023 report, which came out towards the end of last year, found that no police force nationally is recording sex registered at birth as standard in all cases, they're recording self—declared gender identity . in some cases, gender identity. in some cases, they're even trying to capture suspects non—binary identities by recording the sex as indeterminate , other or unknown. indeterminate, other or unknown. >> and that's not all police forces . they seem to be having forces. they seem to be having different rules depending on where you go, different rules.

>> there's inconsistency, but what consistent is that there what is consistent is that there is no police force which is recording sex registered at birth of suspects as standard. in all cases . so what sarah and in all cases. so what sarah and in all cases. so what sarah and i decided to do as keep prisons, single sex and fair cop was in advance of the elections to launch this manifesto for police and crime commissioners , because and crime commissioners, because as you said, it's prioritising gender identity over biological sex, over sex registered at birth. and the point is, is that it is sex registered at birth, which is the variable which has got the greatest explanatory power for offending, for risk , power for offending, for risk, for service development. so what this means is that when you have this means is that when you have this ideological capture, not just that policing decisions are made which are not in the interests of the operational demands of policing and the criminal justice system, but they act actively frustrate those needs. >> now, i think, sarah, we've spoken before about the ideological capture of the police force, which i think by this point is beyond dispute. i

think is the case. but this think that is the case. but this has particular ramifications, doesn't it, for the police's ability do job without ability to do their job without fear favour. in other words, fear or favour. in other words, it affects often fear or favour. in other words, it with affects often fear or favour. in other words, it with gendercts often fear or favour. in other words, it with gender criticaln views. >> yeah, these elections are really important. the police and crime have dual crime commissioners have a dual role. the targets and role. they set the targets and the standards for the police force, hold them force, and they also hold them accountable. need to be accountable. we need to be reminding they have the reminding the pccs they have the power to sack chief constables. one of the key things in our manifesto is we want transparent kc on what groups the police are working with. interesting video doing the rounds on twitter today , a man called clare, who's today, a man called clare, who's the head of the independent advisory group to the essex police, effectively saying that women with gender critical views should be treated as terrorists . should be treated as terrorists. so we need to know who is influencing the police . you're influencing the police. you're right that that that they have been corrupted by this is beyond doubt. >> is it the case that it's just a number of high level activists within the police force and the judiciary, or is the college judiciary, or is it the college of policing? we go right of policing? can we go right back to the train, people

back to the train, the people who training of police? who do the training of police? >> it's what the >> well, it's what the infiltration this ideology infiltration of this ideology slash religion has been so powerful and effective because they gone from the top. they have gone from the top. it's a top down movement. the college police , i think, is college of police, i think, is inherently corrupted. and what we've got is lots of chief constables being very, very keen to push this . another good to push this. another good example harry miller example was harry miller went undercover at the staffordshire force's hate crime training and most people, i imagine, have read what he reported back about that i mean, these are our police. i had a look again at the nine peelian principles that govern force. these were set govern the force. these were set out in 1829. really forward thinking the time , and i thinking for the time, and i can't actually see that any force is now compliant with any one of those peelian principles. and the danger is the police cannot operate without our confidence and our trust and our cooperation. and there's quite a large number of us now who are no longer willing to give that. >> so, kate, why is it that this has been allowed to happen? you know, it's all very well saying you had the college of policing inventing thing called

inventing this thing called non—crime incidents and non—crime hate incidents and doing things. and non—crime hate incidents and doirhave things. and non—crime hate incidents and doir have activistss. and you have various activists within the police force insisting on rainbow lanyards and targeting and insisting on targeting gender why gender critical women. but why doesn't say, doesn't the government say, let's abolish the college of policing, let's revolutionise this. back to those this. let's get back to those peeuan this. let's get back to those peelian principles that sarah is talking i that's always >> well, i mean, that's always the million question. and the million dollar question. and whenever whether it's whenever i come on, whether it's talking or it's talking about prisons or it's talking about prisons or it's talking policing it's talking about policing or it's talking about policing or it's talking collection or talking about data collection or the insanity that's happening in scotland, always, well, why scotland, it's always, well, why is it happening and why is it being allowed to happen ? and, being allowed to happen? and, i think than kind of get think rather than kind of get too hung up about the causation , too hung up about the causation, i think we need to focus on the specifics that are happening and highlight those and stand up against those . so, for example, against those. so, for example, if we're looking at searching of detainees now nationally, local police forces have put in place their own policies which allow for opposite sex strip searching of detainees, which will include children where the officer in question asserts a trans gender

identity, but that has been challenged quite robustly, even from within parliament, hasn't it? that has been challenged in terms national police terms of the national police chiefs council guidance. but from the time that that guidance was put in place by the national police chiefs council in december 2021 to that challenge in parliament, the damage has already been done because it's already been done because it's already been done because it's already been rolled out . local already been rolled out. local police forces, we foiaed their local searching policies and these policies , many of them these policies, many of them specify opposite sex searching should take place based on the officer's transgender identity. if you're looking at warrant cards and identity cards, the national police chiefs council, they advise forces that where an officer has more than one gender identity, they should get more than one warrant card and a search warrant card . and then search warrant card. and then the wake of wayne couzens, i mean, really, i mean, are we i mean, really, i mean, are we i mean, this is the thing is so much of this stuff, it sounds so unbelievable. >> and that's maybe why a lot of it has taken place. yeah. you

know , but sounds like this know, but it sounds like this manifesto is a good step manifesto is a good first step forward. sarah but i know that you've started maybe doubt you've started to maybe doubt whether there can actually whether laws there can actually do anything about this. you know, actually do know, what can we actually do going manifesto going from this manifesto forward, have been upset by forward, i have been upset by the fact it's taking so bloody long because we shouldn't be here. >> there are so many other things we could be interested in and doing. and past six years we've been beating our head against the same wall. i do think is only think lawfare is the only way out, is using your voice out, and so is using your voice and vote. tell the peaks. and your vote. tell the peaks. this is what you need to see them doing because this cannot continue . this will destroy the continue. this will destroy the police force because once enough of the population withdraw their consent and their willingness to cooperate it, then the police are dead on their feet. they don't have the numbers . they if don't have the numbers. they if you read the peelian principles, it's like it's going through it like a stick of rock. public trust and confidence, cooperation . confidence, public cooperation. i'm not going to sit here while a man in a leopard print blouse lectures me about being a terrorist, because i won't call

him woman. now if the police him a woman. now if the police are really going guided by are really going to be guided by that, need to know. and that, we all need to know. and so you to go out and vote. so you need to go out and vote. tell peaks how going tell your peaks how you're going to vote. candidates what to vote. ask the candidates what their are about this. the their view are about this. the manifesto short a manifesto is a short and a snappy document . we can we can snappy document. we can we can print it off. you can look at it on our websites. but this is becoming really vital because it's taken far longer than i dared fear . dared fear. >> well, when you've got people who are so extreme saying things like women with those views are terrorists are in terrorists and they are in positions you're positions of authority, you're going serious going to get some serious pushback kind of reform, pushback to any kind of reform, aren't you? >> i'm just i'm just baffled and bewildered what is happening. bewildered by what is happening. and it's almost though it's more than just cowardice and apathy . than just cowardice and apathy. there's something really serious going while we still going on. but so while we still have a voice and we still have a vote before i'm arrested and locked up for saying a man is a man, let's do something. use your vote. may the 2nd. yeah, let's very clear to the let's make it very clear to the peaks what we expect to see in terms of accountability and transparency from the police. terms of accountability and trarand'ency from the police. terms of accountability and trarand finallyom the police.

terms of accountability and trarand finally ,n the police. terms of accountability and trarand finally , i the police. terms of accountability and trarand finally , i mean, lice. terms of accountability and trarand finally , i mean, a:e. terms of accountability and trarand finally , i mean, a lot of >> and finally, i mean, a lot of people do think that, well, the kind of scenario that sarah is describing of being arrested for accurately sexing an individual seems . it can seems so outlandish. it can never but of course, never happen. but of course, scotland introducing their never happen. but of course, scotlcrime introducing their never happen. but of course, scotlcrime billtroducing their never happen. but of course, scotlcrime bill and|cing their never happen. but of course, scotlcrime bill and|cing thihave hate crime bill and people have already rowling to already called for jk rowling to be accurately be arrested for accurately sexing individual. exactly, exactly. >> p e of women who have >> and we know of women who have been hauled in by the police, for the crimes of transphobia, for the crimes of transphobia, for accurately sexing individuals. so it's not a fantasy. fantasy it's a reality. it's happening, i'm extremely concerned about what's going to happen on april the 1st. i mean, you couldn't make it up. no. when the hate crime bill comes into force in scotland, i think things are going to get extremely unpleasant. >> so know sarah mentioned the >> so i know sarah mentioned the website . where people website. where can people find out manifesto? out about the manifesto? >> on of our >> so they're on both of our websites. yes, mine cops websites. yes, mine is cops info for org, and you can also ask for org, and you can also ask for hard copies and we will post those out to you free of charge. >> fantastic. >> fantastic. >> and fair cop can be found on online. >> yep, just google fair cop. i

think it's fair cop. org. so we've got a link to the manifesto. as i say, it's clear, it's punchy, it's short. so please do directly interrogate these about what these candidates about what they're about the they're going to do about the principles out within principles we set out within it, because are frightening because these are frightening times and women are being targeted. swain, targeted. i mean, jenny swain, i think the last time i was on here, i remember it was breaking news. been arrested news. she'd been arrested for stickering. now bringing news. she'd been arrested for sti

need a whole new generation of leaders who will go into parliament tonight, who want to fix the problems of the country and don't care if it costs them their career because they know they improved this country over four years. and if that's the end of my career , that's the end end of my career, that's the end of my career. but we don't have that anymore. >> as independent, you're >> so as an independent, you're free what you want. free to say what you want. >> that's why i picked >> and that's why i picked independent time independent this time around, because was on the because when i was going on the hustings and speaking and campaigning years campaigning a couple of years ago, saying to me, ago, people were saying to me, nick, i'm not voting for you because hate all the parties. because i hate all the parties. i them not going i hate them all. i'm not going to any of them. and to vote for any of them. and when i went thought when i went away, i thought i need to address that, and i address by being an address it by being an independent. whatever i say independent. so whatever i say i'm going do, i will do it. i'm going to do, i will do it. and it, there's and if i don't do it, there's only to blame and only one person to blame and that be me. that will be me. >> nick buckley, thank you very much. at the end of the much. thank at the end of the first hour free speech first hour on free speech nation. don't away. nation. but don't go away. there's more to there's a lot more still to come. see a moment. come. see you in a moment. >> a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on . gb

general election. a senior figures in the party have been attempting to downplay claims of attempting to downplay claims of a plot to replace the prime minister with penny mordaunt. the move would mean a fourth leader of the party in just five years. mr harper says that, unlike labour, the conservatives have a plan to deliver for the country . country. >> we've got to show them by the time of the election on two things. we've got to show them that we've got a plan. the plan is working and it's delivering for them, and i think we can see that it for them, and i think we can see thatitis for them, and i think we can see that it is on inflation and on taxes. we've also then got to show them that the labour party doesn't plan and will be doesn't have a plan and will be a big risk. for example, we know the labour party wants to spend £28 billion their plan . £28 billion on their green plan. they've hidden the price tag now, but they don't know how to pay now, but they don't know how to pay for it. that would mean taxes going up for motorists have been dealing with more disruption on the third day of the m25 closure, with reports of lengthy tailbacks. >> a five mile stretch between junctions ten and 11 in surrey is being closed since friday

night, a bridge has been demolished, but national highways say the planned gantry has now been installed and the work is on schedule, so they will reopen the road on monday morning at 6 am. tributes have been paid to steve harley, the cockney rebel front man who's died at the age of 73. come up and see me to make me smile . and see me to make me smile. while the singer, best known for the 1970s hit make me smile, had to pause his tour last month to have treatment for cancer. rod stewart says he's absolutely devastated. duran duran's john taylor thanked steve harley for the good vibes. his family, in a statement said his heart exuded only core elements passion, kindness , generosity and much kindness, generosity and much more in abundance . and it's more in abundance. and it's march 17th, which means today there's an alternative meaning to going green. thousands of people across the uk and ireland have turned out to celebrate saint patrick's day. a noisy and

colourful procession in belfast but no shortage of shamrocks, music and oversized hats in dublin, where locals vie with tourists along o'connell street tourists along o'connell street to watch the annual parade. but if you really want to be surrounded by leprechauns, ginger wigs and genuine irish heritage, there's no place like the united states where people take it seriously, especially in glasgow , glasgow, chicago, where glasgow, glasgow, chicago, where they die. the river green . more they die. the river green. more pictures from that as we get them here at gb news. you can get updates by scanning the qr code on your screen or go to gb news. com slash alerts. now back to free speech nation. welcome back to free speech nafion welcome back to free speech nation with me andrew doyle. >> now, on friday, there was an extra ordinary debate in

parliament about ferrets . now parliament about ferrets. now i've got nothing against ferrets. i think looking after their welfare is important. but a four hour debate on this one subject. now you might be thinking that something is amiss. so here's labour mp maria eagle and sarah champion . eagle and sarah champion. >> there ought to be further provisions in respect of safety of ferrets that are not set out in the regulations. so far that have been said. so i'd be interested to hear what the minister might have to say about that. well, my honourable friend, i will give way. of course . i am very interested course. i am very interested about my honourable friends. well, keen mention of ferrets at every opportunity during this debate. and just to put on record, my brother had a ferret called oscar. well, i'm she has that now on the record. i don't really know what else to say about that except i'm sure i'm sure it brought i'm sure that oscar brought her brother. great joy, oscar brought her brother. great joy, great joy. that's joy, great joy. and that's that's what pets do. and, and

i'm sure there are many other ferret owners who, who who might attest to the to the same thing . attest to the to the same thing. >> so this was a discussion on the animal welfare bill, which could have been over within 20 minutes. let's face it. and the reason it took four hours is that politicians were filibustering prevent filibustering to prevent a debate liz health and debate on liz truss's health and equality act's amendment bill, which would have offered protections women's spaces , protections for women's spaces, prevented the social transitioning children transitioning of children in schools banned puberty schools and banned puberty blockers. so apparently many of our think that domesticated our mps think that domesticated polecats are more important than the safeguarding of women and children. and to be honest, it was a cross—party affair. so here are tory mps mark spencer and peter gibson would be remiss of me not to put on the record, my three dogs, tessa, barney and maisie and my cat parsnip . and, maisie and my cat parsnip. and, there's been a proud tradition this morning of mentioning various pets, including harry, george, henry, bruce, snowy,

maisie, scampi , becky one, becky maisie, scampi, becky one, becky two, and pixie. who are the cats? i'll give way to the honourable gentleman. >> i'm very grateful to my hon. friend for giving way. i admitted earlier to put on the record the names of my own dogs, clemmie, pepe and ebony, and clemmie, pepe and ebony, and clemmie, as we all know, came third in the westminster dog of the year show in 2022. >> well, he's corrected the record . there were, of course, record. there were, of course, two ferrets, one of whom had passed away round it. and oscar, what an absolute farce. >> it's a waste of parliamentary time. it's insulting to the electorate. it's dismissive of women's rights, and it shows a complete disregard for the medical experimentation on children that has been taking place on the nhs in plain sight. and as a result of these shenanigans, truss's bill will now be delayed until the 22nd of march. but as it's going to be the last on the days agenda, it's unlikely to be debated at all. you would think our all. now you would think our representatives would take this matter more matter a little bit more seriously . but no, when seriously. but no, when challenged on this, was

challenged on this, here was sarah champion's response. god, i ferret. powerful and i love a ferret. powerful and full of love. well, sarah champion, perhaps your trivialisation of these important issues might not look so impressive in a few years time when everyone has woken up to the madness of recent years, women are concerned about their single—sex spaces and children have been medicalised for being autistic , gay or gender autistic, gay or gender non—conforming. both political parties are effectively supporting a new form of gay conversion therapy , but they conversion therapy, but they don't want to talk about that. they wanted to compare the names of their pets. why? because getting one over on liz truss is apparently more important than the safety of children. i'm sure in a few years time, there's going to be a people going to be a lot of people claiming never along claiming they never went along with this. but it's all with any of this. but it's all on now. so perhaps all on hansard now. so perhaps all the involved this the mps involved in this infantile filibustering might want their want to start thinking of their excuses now, because in the future they might be asked, what did do about the state did you do about the state sanctioned medical experimentation oh, experimentation on children? oh, well , we spoke about ferrets. well, we spoke about ferrets. well, bet that well, i'm willing to bet that history isn't going to look too

kindly on that sort of thing. i guess have to and guess we'll have to wait and see. so i want to bring my panel in on this issue of the filibustering. cresta. i think it's mad. i think it's absolutely mad. and i think it's really insulting. and i think those people, all of them involved, deserve voted involved, deserve to be voted out. 100. out. oh, 100. >> and you say, how is this >> and like you say, how is this going age? i can't wait to going to age? i can't wait to bnng going to age? i can't wait to bring this out what it bring this out in. what is it going five, ten going to be two, five, ten years? i mean, it's just appalling. no there's appalling. there's no there's i just don't understand it just i don't understand it. it leaves speechless. just i don't understand it. it lea' i as speechless. just i don't understand it. it lea' i as the echless. just i don't understand it. it lea'izs the generous >> i think the generous interpretation of them interpretation is none of them know anything about this know know anything about this subject. don't. subject. they just don't. >> it's also generous >> well, it's also a generous interpretation, isn't it? you know, you that don't know, you hope that they don't because can they? because you how can they? >> can they not? the nhs has >> how can they not? the nhs has just banned blockers. just banned puberty blockers. they've the they've just done it. the experts, review, experts, the cass review, said that tavistock wasn't safe. that the tavistock wasn't safe. we know that these that this we now know that these that this is experimentation. we is medical experimentation. we know there were no long tum studies ignorance at this studies is ignorance at this point an excuse from the point really an excuse from the likes mark and peter likes of mark spencer and peter gibson sarah champion? gibson and sarah champion? >> i'm just appalled .

painting, could have that much of an influence on them. i mean, what are they going to do about everything else in the world? >> i also just think, given what i to talking tony sewell i was to talking tony sewell about earlier, just strikes about earlier, this just strikes me racist. the me as incredibly racist. the idea painting great idea that painting the great paintings history paintings from british history don't black people, don't belong to black people, that all part the that we're not all part of the same going on? >> feel like i've got as much >> i feel like i've got as much to do a picture of an old to do with a picture of an old haybarn as somebody the same age as happens to be black, as me who happens to be black, who's english, you it's who's english, you know, it's like, i have more claim like, why do i have more claim over than they it's over it than they do? it's a very weird idea. over it than they do? it's a verdo eird idea. the countryside >> do you think the countryside is racist? >> i it depends where you >> i think it depends where you go does. it does not. go for it does. it does not. >> honestly. there are some very xenophobic in the cotswolds. >> actually true. was >> that's actually true. i was once called name from once called a nasty name from a squirrel. that was squirrel. yeah, but that was another no, i yeah, another hate crime. no, i yeah, i don't get by looking at a painting of a hill that would invoke nationalistic tendencies. no it's like you really have to. >> maybe it's a real stretch when they were doing the, hogarth exhibition at the tate, there was a self—portrait. he's sitting on a chair, and the plaque something like

plaque said something like the wood that the was made out wood that the chair was made out of have come from of might have come from a plantation slave the plantation or a slave or the slave trade. it was so tenuous that was actually beyond that it was actually beyond ridiculous. but they why they ridiculous. but they why do they bother? do remember , do bother? and do you remember, do you the, what it, you remember the, what was it, the rose, ship the mary rose, the tudor ship where they were trying to queer the and they up the mary rose, and they put up a blog on website talking blog on their website talking about a queer nit comb and, and an old, an old tudor mirror. and they said, well, sometimes queer people the mirror people would look in the mirror and would reaffirm their and it would reaffirm their identity. are identity. these people are insane. really insane. insane. just really insane. >> look in the >> queer people look in the mirror due for mirror and think, i'm due for botox. come on. botox. so come on. >> but i would put it to you that in tudor times they weren't thinking of botox particularly. >> i don't think can speak >> i don't think you can speak for and think that's racist. >> that's true. >> that's true. >> that's true. >> that is true. okay. well, next on free speech nana campaigner stein join campaigner maria stein will join us tell us about us from ireland to tell us about the last week's the no vote in last week's referendum family and care. referendum on family and care. don't

welcome back to free speech nafion welcome back to free speech nation with me, andrew doyle. referendums. proposing changes to the constitutional definition of family and on the issue of care were comprehensively defeated in ireland last weekend. in the ballots, the government proposed expanding the definition of family in the constitution recognise constitution to recognise durable relationships, such as cohabiting couples their cohabiting couples and their children , and replacing the children, and replacing the language around women in the home with language recognising care within families. one of the most vocal no campaigners was barrister maria stein and she joins me now. welcome to the show, maria. can i ask you first to begin with, what is it about these constitutional changes that most that you most objected to ? to? >> well, there were two questions put to the irish people. the first was in relation to, family and the redefinition of family. so as things stand, under the irish constitution , the family article constitution, the family article 41 defined the family as founded on marriage. now the government put a proposal to the people to change that so that that it

would read the family was founded on marriage or other durable relationships, but they wouldn't tell us what the definition of a durable relationship was saying. instead that it should be left to the supreme court to decide. so essentially, the irish people were being asked to vote on something that they would find out what it meant. so that out later what it meant. so that was the first issue. the second issue, go on. sorry. the second issue, go on. sorry. the second issue was in relation to, article 41.2 of the constitution, which refers to women and their work in the home and the service that provides for society . it's basically an for society. it's basically an expression of gratitude and secondly, it went on to say that, a mother should not be forced out into the workplace, out of economic necessity. so it was putting, if you like, an onus on the government to help support mothers who wish to stay at home with children , the at home with their children, the government wanted to erase the word , the word mother, and word woman, the word mother, and the word home from the constitution . and instead what

constitution. and instead what they said was, they wanted to replace what they said was outdated and sexist language with a gender neutral, proposal. and so we've heard a lot about this kind of changes of language by activists who are who are promoting gender identity ideology . ideology. >> but it's a little strange, isn't it, when it's coming from the from the government? >> yes. and thing about this >> yes. and the thing about this proposal that there was a proposal was that there was a stifling consensus in terms of the irish, political landscape. so it wasn't just the government that was supporting this, but every other political party, bar one, supported it all. the establishment basically were pushing for this change and what was really highlighted in the results of the two referenda was that the political elites and the establishment were totally out of step with the irish people, who comprehensively rejected the proposals . rejected the proposals. >> now, we've seen that again and again, haven't we? where the, the those who are in charge, those who are in power are not in step with the with

the and referendum the public. and this referendum is example of that. is a further example of that. but do you think it's but why do you think it's happening? particularly in ireland? people happening? particularly in ireland�*made people happening? particularly in ireland�*made the people happening? particularly in ireland�*made the case people happening? particularly in ireland�*made the case thatple happening? particularly in ireland�*made the case that ever who've made the case that ever since ireland, tried to distance itself from the catholic church, had referendum on same sex had the referendum on same sex marriage, that they've actually just kind of just embraced a new kind of state religion. do you think there's anything to that? >> i think there is something to that. but but interestingly, i suppose was different suppose what was different about this referendum this particular referendum was that of the no that in terms of the no campaign, there was quite a broad coalition so it wasn't just catholics or conservatives that were , against this, there that were, against this, there were a number of feminist writers who were against it because of, of course, the, the de—gendering , if you like, of de—gendering, if you like, of women or, and, the desexing of women or, and, the desexing of women and anything to do with motherhood, but there were also people right across the spectrum who , had issues with this. and who, had issues with this. and one of the, one of the big issues was the redefinition of the family . and the government the family. and the government refused to entertain the valid

concerns that the no campaign had , for instance, that the had, for instance, that the words durable relationships could bring in, the recognition of polyamorous relationships and what that might do to the definition of family , and they definition of family, and they simply weren't able to answer the questions that were put to them on that. so i think the irish people smelled a rat and decided to reject it. >> and it's not just the political class, is it? i mean, i think the dublin media class in particular is very much skewed in one, in one particular way. but at what point will these elites, as you describe them, realise that they're not in sync with the public and that maybe they should be listening to what people are saying? >> yeah, well, that that's that remains right remains to be seen. you're right . the certainly the, both the print and broadcast media there is, as i say, a stifling consensus among them, and a kind of a refusal to, recognise or give a voice to those who don't toe the political line , so we'll

toe the political line, so we'll see if this is a wake up call for the politicians and for journalists, or if they will continue as they have been doing up until now. >> do you fear, maria, when it comes to this changing of language that this is going to be particularly important when it to irish crime it comes to the irish hate crime bill, defines as bill, which defines hatred as hatred. in other words, a completely circular definition that could surely be exploited against anyone who who takes a contrary view absolutely . contrary view absolutely. >> and you're right to say there is no definition in the bill of what hatred is. so essentially we're looking at thought crimes, and, the, the consequences, in the current for bill people are significant, so if you're convicted of, a hate crime, you could face up to five years in jail, for such a hate crime. and again, because of the protected classes of people that are listed , particularly somebody in listed, particularly somebody in who is a religious or

conservative, simply expressing a view either online or in person could find themselves , person could find themselves, you know, convicted of a crime under this bill. and police are given powers as well, to, you know, enter a premises and search, computer records and so on. so it's a very concerning, development. >> and finally, maria, what can people do about this? because if all of the political parties are in lockstep and people's voices aren't being represented in the media, what what route out of there is there in this situation? or do we just have to resign ourselves to an authoritarian future? >> well, no, there's an election. election coming up actually, in next year, early next year, possibly by the end of this year. and, as i say, there was one party, a small party that did not, you know, that swam against the political tide. and i think, i hope they do well in the next election. they certainly deserve to. we

also have some very good independent candidates . yes, and independent candidates. yes, and ihope independent candidates. yes, and i hope that they will be rewarded in the next, election to but for the political parties , i think this referendum should be a big wake up call for them, and i hope that they will rethink their attitude. there is in ireland towards people who do not agree with the, the kind of woke consensus, there is an attitude of regarding us as a basket of deplorables or , or, basket of deplorables or, or, you know, that in those kind of terms . so that attitude needs to terms. so that attitude needs to change. ultimately, we live in a democracy, and the politicians need to listen to the people. that's what the purpose of this referendum was. it was to put a question to the people. and if they continue to ignore the voice of the people, i think they they will pay for that. >> well, congratulations on your campaign, maria stein. thank you very much for joining campaign, maria stein. thank you very much forjoining me. thank you. andrew and next on free

speech nation, we'll be discussing nhs england's decision this week to end routinely prescribing puberty blockers. you're watching free speech nation on

>> we're asked to leave because they finally . they finally. >> welcome back to free speech nafion >> welcome back to free speech nation with me . andrew doyle. nation with me. andrew doyle. nhs england announced this week that from next month, they will no longer routinely prescribe puberty blockers . they will be puberty blockers. they will be available in the future, but only through a mandatory research trial. so here to discuss in more detail, i have co—founder of lgb alliance, kate harris, and founder of transgender trend, stephanie davis rac . stephanie, i want to davis rac. stephanie, i want to come to you first, because transgender trend has been sounding the alarm about puberty blockers for a number of years. i saw an article by michael biggs , a researcher at oxford biggs, a researcher at oxford today in telegraph who has today in the telegraph who has also instrumental in also been instrumental in raising the problems here. can you a about what

you tell us a bit about what you've done comes to you've done when it comes to this issue? >> so michael approached us. so we've the alarm we've been raising the alarm about of puberty about the use of puberty blockers this , because blockers about this, because it's experimental, treatment it's an experimental, treatment of , and, you know, as of children, and, you know, as soon as we understood what was happening at the tavistock, i mean, part of the reason that i set up transgender trend in 2015 was knowing that this treatment was knowing that this treatment was being given to children , was being given to children, varne, at the time, a puberty blockers trial was happening. it was started in 2011, in 2014, that trial was rolled out. is initially a cohort of 44 children. it was rolled out to anybody, coming into without any results having been published. and that to led the first article that michael biggs wrote for the website. but he'd previously tried to get me to do a talk at oxford university that had been cancelled. so we had the usual things going on. but that's when michael first, first wrote and we. >> but it's interesting because

he's an expert in this field. but, but, but it was quite brave of him say something about of him to say something about this they, they knew this because they, they knew there tum studies there were no long tum studies into now we know the into this. and now we know the risks brain development, risks to brain development, to bone development. were bone development. so you were right. was right. right. and he was right. >> really. yeah, i mean, he >> and really. yeah, i mean, he risked his he risked his his career. he risked, know , as everybody risked, you know, as everybody does. and he and damaged his career through doing this. we really have to credit michael because know, he he's because you know, he he's a researcher. he's you know, he's at oxford and because of his research now the thing that he found in, in an foi was an internal report that showed the increase in the number of children who tick the for , box children who tick the for, box more likely to self—harm or attempt suicide after a year on puberty blockers. so everything they said, they said about puberty blockers being beneficial and even life saving, saving that if you if you don't allow it, kids are more likely to take their own lives. all of that kind of emotional blackmail

they used was false. these these blockers were having, know , blockers were having, you know, detrimental results after a yeah detrimental results after a year. but even so, they rolled the trial out now. but from michael's research that got to newsnight, we all know what happened then. newsnight did, i think two episodes on on blockers and did more, episodes on the trial . and michael was on the trial. and michael was interviewed and i think that was the really the start of this whole process. yeah and it's very interesting, isn't it? okay. i want to bring you in here because we know now that the majority of children who do feel feelings of gender dysphoria, puberty resolves feel feelings of gender dysphfeelings. puberty resolves feel feelings of gender dysphfeelings. so, )erty resolves feel feelings of gender dysphfeelings. so, )erother)lves those feelings. so, in other words , we were blocking the cure words, we were blocking the cure for the time. but also for most of the time. but also we hannah barnes we know from hannah barnes research between 80 and 90% research that between 80 and 90% of adolescents referred to the tavistock sex tavistock were same sex attracted. was happening attracted. so what was happening here children were being here is gay children were being fixed heterosexual ized on the nhs. and that's why lgb alliance presumably has such an interest in this. >> yes , it's a horror story, but

>> yes, it's a horror story, but we're again, we're beginning to get to a happy ending . we're not get to a happy ending. we're not there yet, lgb alliance is the only charity in the united kingdom that focuses exclusively on promoting the rights of lesbian, gay and bisexual people . and we are absolutely delighted with the news that came out on tuesday. the nhs bans puberty blockers now that has gone around the world, even joe biden is now being challenged to look at what he's doing in america. so this is very good news. but it's not good enough. and i'll tell you why it's good. not good enough. it's because a there are loopholes. b there's a media apart from your brilliant work. and i have been told by my team, i am not to come onto this programme without thanking you for your courage and bravery and in in shining a light on all of this. thank you. but the media in general does not want to

discuss it. >> but also people are attacked, aren't they? i mean, you've been smeared and called all sorts of names roshi murphy, the names when roshi murphy, the musician, concerns about musician, raised concerns about puberty shows puberty blockers, she shows council she was smeared in the guardian and all sorts things guardian and all sorts of things , she was right. and you were right. right. right. she was right. >> all right. graham >> we were all right. graham linehan was right. everybody >> we were all right. graham lineipuberty right. everybody >> we were all right. graham lineipuberty blockerserybody >> we were all right. graham lineipuberty blockers are ody said puberty blockers are utterly shameful , said puberty blockers are utterly shameful, and i would say verging on criminal child abuse. say verging on criminal child abuse . but let me show you my abuse. but let me show you my handy poster i made this earlier . this is just one example, because we, lgb alliance are not allowed to speak on bbc, we are not allowed. we are. you will never hear us on itv, channel 4, because there is a very has been a very effective campaign from stonewall , my organisation, stonewall, my organisation, where i've said to you before, my dna was in stonewall. yes

until 2015, when the incoming ceo , ruth hunt, decided to add ceo, ruth hunt, decided to add the t. thank you . alicia kearns the t. thank you. alicia kearns lgb alliance has not removed the t. the t was added by stonewall in 2015, but just as an example of the type of censorship that we face, and we believe that we represent the views of the vast majority of people in this country, i'm going to show you this poster. this poster says basically , well done, nhs. there basically, well done, nhs. there is a little bit more to do, but there is nothing controversial or law breaking about this poster. it simply says we are pleased that the nhs will no longer be prescribing puberty blockers , saying that there is blockers, saying that there is not enough evidence of safety and clinical effectiveness. and it goes on to say , but there is it goes on to say, but there is more to be done. we urge mps to close the loopholes. there are unscrupulous clinics out there and there are unscrupulous, organised ones like stonewall,

like mermaids and many others who are going to encourage children to go online to buy these drugs that have no clinical effectiveness. we were not allowed to place this advert, so this is what we're facing now . facing now. >> and we've seen in parliament this week when there was a debate about precisely this issue, about the loopholes you describe, the that describe, about the fact that private clinics still private clinics can still prescribe these drugs. they prescribe these drugs. and they filibustered about filibustered by talking about ferrets yes. ferrets for four hours. yes. >> seen that despite >> and we've seen that despite sarah champion on twitter today saying, oh, it was just as much the tories as labour. it wasn't. it was predominantly labour who decided deliberately to filibuster . we could see we filibuster. we could see we could see maria eagle , we could could see maria eagle, we could see lloyd russell—moyle smiling, laughing as they discussed ferrets names. >> i think they forget that there are cameras in the house of commons. >> i think they do, and they will hang their heads in shame

because we're seeing, thank because what we're seeing, thank god , is a return to sanity. god, is a return to sanity. thank god for david bell. >> i think the whistleblower from the tavistock, the whistleblower from the tavistock who told us on on evan davis's shockingly biased discussion on tuesday. >> this is the end of the transgender trial. there has never been a transgender trial. gender dysphoria is a symptom we are now entering. we hope a penod are now entering. we hope a period of clarity, of science and of safeguarding for children. and i, i my heart goes out to every child, every family who has suffered because of these gender identity zealots who put their own justifications for their mad cult beliefs before the safety of children. >> and finally, stephanie, with all of that in mind, it's still going to be i mean, i can see that kate is right, that things are going in that direction. we are going in that direction. we are learning more the nhs band is a big step forward, but as we

saw a lot is a big step forward, but as we sa'very a lot is a big step forward, but as we sa'very powerful a lot is a big step forward, but as we sa'very powerful people a lot is a big step forward, but as we sa'very powerful people who lot is a big step forward, but as we sa'very powerful people who are of very powerful people who are still cult and still caught up in this cult and they still think that they're doing right thing they doing the right thing and they think protecting think that they're protecting a trans people. are they? >> there's still a to do. >> there's still a lot to do. there's still the message that that gender affirmative care and i mean, the experiment of social transition, as well as the medical experiment of blockers and hormones. but the message that that is beneficial to children, it's good. it's so deeply embedded now throughout society , from groups like society, from groups like stonewall and mermaids. and i think we have to stop and say, well, okay, is it good or is it bad?is well, okay, is it good or is it bad? is it harmful? is it actually child abuse ? let's ask actually child abuse? let's ask those questions and not just accept unquestioningly . the accept unquestioningly. the gender affirming care is a good for children. i don't think it is. i think it is a child abuse. i think it is harmful and i think it has proven harms and no proven benefits. well stephanie,

kate, thank you both so much for joining me. >> really appreciate it. now we did approach stonewall and mermaids for a statement. we received the following from mermaids. this announcement is deeply disappointing and a further restriction of support offered to trans children and young people through the nhs, which is failing trans youth. there were virtually no first appointments offered in 2023, with growing waiting lists with ever growing waiting lists of five years. and they of over five years. and they also say mermaids will continue to advocate strongly for access to advocate strongly for access to timely, holistic and supportive health care for trans youth, including access to puberty blockers to those who need them. everyone deserves access healthcare and to live access to healthcare and to live happy and healthy lives. trans youth no exception. so next, youth are no exception. so next, lee anderson and dylan mulvaney both launched new pop careers. yes, it's time for social sensations . you're watching free sensations. you're watching free speech nation on
