8:07 pm
oldest of workers. the increase comes despite the overall labour market returning to normal following the pandemic. but it does mean that britain is the only g7 economy not to have fully return to pre—covid levels of employment . those are the of employment. those are the headlines. i'll be back in the next hour. in the meantime, you can sign up to gb news alerts. just scan the qr code on your screen. if you're listening screen. or if you're listening on radio, go to on radio, you can go to gbnews.com slash alerts . gb news.com slash alerts. >> gbnews.com slash alerts. >> welcome to the saturday night showdown. now the terror attack in moscow by isis shows that putin has dropped the ball regarding the threat of islamism and can't keep his people safe and can't keep his people safe and putin's response was to dismiss the threat of islamism and instead blame far right nazis. does it sound familiar? it's the same thing said by any left wing politician in the west. putin has gone , woke for
8:08 pm
west. putin has gone, woke for all it. some people on the dissident right see that putin is the best defender of european christendom . nothing could be christendom. nothing could be further from the truth. he's imported men hand over fist from muslim areas of the middle east and africa, and moscow has been flooded with men from muslim areas of the russian federation, dagestan, chechnya and tajikistan. and it's reported that last night's attackers are tajiks. over 8000 mosques have been built in russia , and been built in russia, and muslims now number an estimated 14% of the population. meanwhile, anti—russian sentiment grows amongst islamists because of russia's support for syria's barbarous leader, assad. russia has spent ten years bombing muslim civilians in syria, although you won't hear any lefties or celebrities condemning it because for some reason they only care when israel is involved. russia also had a brutal war with muslim chechnya before making peace with its leader, kadyrov. but there are many in chechnya who see kadyrov as a traitor and want vengeance
8:09 pm
against russia. for the chechen blood spilled. sound familiar ? blood spilled. sound familiar? under labour, britain bombed iraq while our policy of open borders allows anyone from the middle east to waltz in and claim asylum. but we've got 40,000 islamists on terror watch lists in the uk. 40,000 islamists on terror watch lists in the uk . traffic lists in the uk. traffic barriers, high profile targets and tight security at public events. we have put a lot of effort into stopping islamic terror. i mean, it might make more sense to stop islamic terror entering britain, but at least we've got on top of it. has putin done the same? no instead he's focused on ukraine insisting that far right neo—nazis present the biggest threat to russia. he's like a guardian columnist ignoring the real threat while twisting himself in knots trying to find a way to blame white nationalists. he's been caught napping. western authorities even warned putin that they had uncovered evidence of an islamist plot in russia, and putin dismissed this as western propaganda . on march the 7th,
8:10 pm
propaganda. on march the 7th, america told putin of reports that extremist s have imminent plans to target large gatherings in moscow to include concerts. however, putin dismissed the warnings as provocative, saying all this resembles outright blackmail and the intention to intimidate and destabilise our society. well, putin last night shows that it wasn't western propaganda, and while we allow islamist chants on the streets of london, our police respond reassuringly, firmly when there's a serious violent threat. compare that to moscow , threat. compare that to moscow, where armed islamists could not only commit a massive atrocity , only commit a massive atrocity, killing well over 100 people, then leave at their leisure . then leave at their leisure. making a run for the nearest border, putin pretends to be a strong man, but instead of tackling the rising threat from islamism, he put his head in the sand and ignores it like so many western leaders do. instead he whips up hate against the far right nazis, invades ukraine and kills russia's brothers. the man is a clown .
8:11 pm
kills russia's brothers. the man is a clown. i'm joined tonight by tv personality, personality and broadcaster comedian nicholas de santo. susie kennedy also a comedian and the lawyer and broadcaster andrew eborn . and broadcaster andrew eborn. now, andrew, i mean, i know you've been following, following russia. i have following what's going there. do you going on there. i mean, do you think you think putin think do you think putin is actually the people on actually for all the people on the right the uk and the distant right in the uk and in america, that putin is in america, say that putin is some of he's standing up some sort of he's standing up against wokeism. he's actually just it is just as walker's leaders. it is extraordinary, firstly, what a surprise. it was 87% of the vote. we should congratulate him on getting yet another turm. was only 87. only 87. how dare the 13. the unlucky 13 100. easily i would have thought so. it is crazy, isn't it? because they turn around on march the seventh, he pointed out. the us embassy in russia said there's an threat from islam. an imminent threat from islam. this what's going happen. this is what's going to happen. islamist extremists is what they were soon as it were saying. and as soon as it came i was watching the
8:12 pm
came out, i was watching the news today. basically, they're saying, do with saying, oh, it's all to do with ukraine ramadan at ukraine because it is ramadan at the no way there the moment. there's no way there would these atrocities. would be doing these atrocities. yeah, quite extraordinary. would be doing these atrocities. yea that quite extraordinary. would be doing these atrocities. yea that broken extraordinary. would be doing these atrocities. yea that broken record rdinary. it's that broken record with that narrative . yeah. this that narrative. yeah. but this is what wants to do. he wants is what he wants to do. he wants to bolster people against to bolster the people against ukraine. peddling ukraine. and so you're peddling that message. yeah. >> to before i go >> no, i've got to before i go to the of panel, i've to the rest of my panel, i've got monologue. i did two got another monologue. i did two monologues this week. look monologues this week. oh, look at you two. >> i've got to squeeze them >> so i've got to squeeze them both in. anyway, should both in. hey. anyway, should grown men be allowed to walk into female changing rooms and expose their genitals to children? >> to me, the answer is easy. no, of course not. and also, arrest that guy and check his hard drive. but this week a woman walked into the female, changing rooms at planet fitness, a gym in america, and saw man half naked and saw a man half naked and shaving, and a 12 year old girl in corner looking terrified. in the corner looking terrified. the woman took a photo of the man here he is, she challenged the man who, according to her, insisted that he was allowed to be in the female changing rooms because he's queer. so the woman complained desk at
8:13 pm
complained to the front desk at the and instead of phoning the gym and instead of phoning the gym and instead of phoning the man is the police, they said the man is in transgender woman . and in fact a transgender woman. and they banned the woman who reported breaching their reported him for breaching their code of inclusivity. and let's have a look at this transgender woman. let's have a let's have a look at her now. wow. so convincing . all hallmarks of convincing. all the hallmarks of a the female a genuine woman, the female pattern baldness, the classic feminine stance like scarlett johansson on the red carpet at the oscars, the prosecco belly, the oscars, the prosecco belly, the penis. i mean, this would all be very amusing if it wasn't for the safety of women and children. there was a 12 year old girl in that locker room terrified , according to the terrified, according to the witness. now you can call me a bigot if you like . you wouldn't bigot if you like. you wouldn't be the first person. but i don't want my kids to be around some big, deranged bloke big, lumpy, deranged bloke running tackle running around with his tackle out balls in the out and shaving his balls in the sink. they get quite of sink. they get quite enough of that home, you very that at home, thank you very much. gym's mission much. the gym's mission statement that our mission statement says that our mission is to enhance people's lives by providing quality fitness providing a high quality fitness experience in a welcoming non—intimidating environment, which we call the judgement free
8:14 pm
zone , where anyone and we mean zone, where anyone and we mean anyone can feel they belong . anyone can feel they belong. now, i'm not denying that genuine trans people exist . this genuine trans people exist. this harms them too. blaire white, for example, she's put the effort in to look like a woman, but transgender women like blaire are getting lumped in with lumpy exploit with lumpy blokes who exploit inclusivity rules to get access to female spaces and demand that we perform mental gymnastics to identify them as women. look, mate, it's your transition. why am i having to do your transition in my head? at least meet me halfway . what sort of meet me halfway. what sort of clown world are we living in when the feelings and fetishes of grown men are prioritised over the safety of children? what about children's right not to feel threatened or uncomfortable? to not be exposed to a dangerous situation ? then to a dangerous situation? then why have society's rules been changed? to put women and children . last? did you know children. last? did you know susie kennedy? you've joined us.
