2:03 am
don't do something soon, you will crumble . will crumble. >> whether it be more people resign, whether it will be the polls go even worse. >> there's it almost doesn't m atter. >> matter. >> because if they continue to wait too long, it becomes desperate. if they wait for the 11th hour and the polls , there's 11th hour and the polls, there's a thing that came out the top psephologist has said that there's a 99% chance that labour will win. 1% chance the tories will win. 1% chance the tories will win. 1% chance the tories will win. the pill is 99% effective. and look how often you use that. yeah, so i will say, that chap i looked at, i can't remember his name coco gauff curtis. >> curtis. i looked him up on twitter to see what his record was, to see whether he was a bit like the great, neil, no, no, no. hamilton. no. the, epidemiologist, no. hamilton. no. the, epidemiologist , the projector epidemiologist, the projector from the imperial, college who. come on, help me out here. what's his name? ferguson. neil ferguson. neil ferguson. yeah. to see what his record was on previous in 2020, he predicted the break—up of the union within
2:04 am
the break—up of the union within the course of you know that the course of the. you know that we lose scotland the we would lose scotland over the course this government, which course of this government, which has less likely. has never looked less likely. well, never , but well, not say never, but certainly on there. so certainly is not on there. so these these polling these things, these polling predictions can fall apart quite quickly. not quickly. yeah. but i'm not saying to win. but quickly. yeah. but i'm not sthink to win. but quickly. yeah. but i'm not sthink1% to win. but quickly. yeah. but i'm not sthink1% is to win. but quickly. yeah. but i'm not sthink1% is like to win. but quickly. yeah. but i'm not sthink1% is like bit» win. but quickly. yeah. but i'm not sthink1% is like bit of in. but quickly. yeah. but i'm not sthink1% is like bit of a. but i think 1% is like a bit of a headune i think 1% is like a bit of a headline grabber. i do think 1% is a of a headline grabber. is a bit of a headline grabber. >> you think of let's just >> until you think of let's just look at this stat 63. oh, sorry, sorry, not 6363 conservative mps have publicly said they're standing down from parliament or not contesting their seat at the next general election . next general election. >> will they be standing for reform, or will they just be like spending more time with their families? >> be spending time >> they'll be spending more time with because they >> they'll be spending more time with that because they >> they'll be spending more time with that going ecause they >> they'll be spending more time with that going ecauseaniey know that it's going to be an absolute whitewash. >> bloodbath because >> don't say bloodbath because that's that's why should not happen trump said it. yeah, happen when trump said it. yeah, exactly. >> well, people will quote me sadly , i don't have donald sadly, i don't have donald trump's reach. >> simon and if i did, i probably wouldn't be here. man's reach should exceed his grasp. or what's a heaven for what exactly? what do you think about
2:05 am
the like this fragile coalition, though? what's what does though? what's what's what does that mean? >> well, look, every political party essentially fragile party is essentially a fragile coalition. labour are essentially a fragile coalition. if you if you look at the types of people that labour are trying to hold that under their umbrella , they are groups of umbrella, they are groups of people who really don't have that much in common. and it's the same with the conservative party now. that's why strong leadership is important . but leadership is important. but also people naturally get on better when they're winning. yes, when things are not going well . well. >> marriage like that isn't it? yeah, exactly. that's when fingers start getting pointed and so and so's not pulling their x and y and their weight or x and y and whatever else. >> i think what you're >> and i think what you're seeing is the conservatives are coming the fact coming to terms with the fact that they're going to lose this election, and everybody is starting to act in their own interests, not in the interests of the party as a whole, but also at least marriage is just also at least a marriage is just two whereas the two groups, whereas the conservatives at the moment, they've got their acronyms, the erg, other,
2:06 am
erg, there's something or other, the contains the other group which contains other members they had other members of the they had almost putting more effort into making it look like they're divided traditionally it's been the right fights. >> the left fights >> the left the left fights itself now the right has itself right now the right has given itself old bloody hose. >> nose. >> i think that is true. i mean, the whole point of the, the political system country political system in this country is you to see what is that you get to see what coalition voting for coalition you're voting for beforehand of beforehand as against pr, of course, which when you vote course, which is when you vote and you wait to see what and then you wait to see what what might have opened the what that might have opened the door what is the times door to what is the times running with francis. door to what is the times run sog with francis. door to what is the times run so the th francis. door to what is the times run so the times1cis. door to what is the times run so the times iss. door to what is the times run so the times is running with >> so the times is running with so labour are now smelling blood. they think that they are blunt. don't say blood. they think they're going to win and as a result smell whitewash . as a result smell whitewash. they can smell a whitewash. exactly, exactly . and keir exactly, exactly. and keir starmer and angela rayner vowed to revive levelling up. they have basically said the tories have basically said the tories have not done enough when it comes to levelling up. they've made a bit of a concession, said johnson. did some things but under sunak it has been broadly
2:07 am
shelved and one of the things they're going to come, they're going to do when they come to power is they are going to narrow the gap between north and south, rich and poor, and they're going to do that whilst having practically no money. >> what do you think steve is? is it just daydreaming? >> well, at least >> well, it's at least daydreaming the that we daydreaming in the way that we should daydreaming. should hear daydreaming. the labour always be trying labour should always be trying to greater in north, to achieve greater in the north, because never happened on because it's never happened on the tories. one of the things that boris johnson that was that boris johnson did that was really was selling this that boris johnson did that was reé an was selling this that boris johnson did that was reéan idea. was selling this that boris johnson did that was reéan idea. so as selling this that boris johnson did that was reéan idea. so thatelling this that boris johnson did that was reéan idea. so that 2019 this as an idea. so that 2019 election managed to get some of that red wall in the area that i'm i'm from sutton i'm from, i'm from sutton ashfield . ashfield lot of talk. >> yeah, but you escaped, mate. >> yeah, but you escaped, mate. >> i escaped the age of 18. >> i escaped at the age of 18. >> i escaped at the age of 18. >> never look back. you are. you're problem. you're precisely the problem. they're talking about the brain drain. go drain. well, well, let's not go too . too far, mate. >> brain drain. >> brain drain. >> go on. »- >> go on. >> it's an immense a test. and they didn't write back. >> it more like one of those >> is it more like one of those sort around edge sort of gutters around the edge than but i think than an actual. but i think there some truth to that, there is some truth to that, isn't that's point. isn't there? that's the point. nobody's you nobody's claiming that the, you know, deliver
2:08 am
know, the north don't deliver talent, talent find talent, but if the talent find the are elsewhere. talent, but if the talent find timean, are elsewhere. talent, but if the talent find timean, on are elsewhere. talent, but if the talent find timean, on a are elsewhere. talent, but if the talent find timean, on a globale elsewhere. talent, but if the talent find timean, on a global scale,'here. talent, but if the talent find timean, on a global scale, itzre. i mean, on a global scale, it happens, right? a bulgaria i mean, on a global scale, it happa1s, right? a bulgaria i mean, on a global scale, it happa1s, rigof? a bulgaria i mean, on a global scale, it happa1s, rigof theira bulgaria i mean, on a global scale, it happa1s, rigof their young aria lose a third of their young people year the people every year from the entire the eu. entire country within the eu. you know, these are not you know, these things are not unique british isles. unique to the british isles. >> exactly . and who's >> well, exactly. and who's going live stoke going to want to live in stoke if you can escape? >> oh, no. »- >> oh, no. >> i'll take you with stoke. >> i'll take you with stoke. >> to push back, but >> i was going to push back, but no fair play. >> i was going to push back, but no no,play. >> i was going to push back, but no no, look, we've all been to >> no, look, we've all been to stoke, we've gigged in stoke, we've all gigged in stoke, we've all gigged in stoke, to , i don't stoke, i've been to, i don't know these places equally. know all these places equally. >> instance, whenever >> but for instance, whenever i go leeds or manchester or go to leeds or manchester or newcastle, those three to newcastle, for those three to tour lately, they feel to me like a lot more functional than london yes, like they're london does. yes, like they're really places . everyone really happy places. everyone seems to be busy getting on with things like you can get where you're trying to get to. there's a understandable a kind of understandable geography to the whole thing. i do find it quite puzzling. >> you what? people >> do you know what? people leave. before steve leave. but just before steve jumps really jumps in, what's really interesting, with interesting, actually, with those cities that you've mentioned because the fact mentioned is because the fact that rents in london are utterly demented. because the cost demented. yeah, because the cost of living crisis, because of covid, a lot of people have
2:09 am
actually looked at london and they thought to themselves, why live here? yeah. and as a result of that, they've gone to these cities the north. cities in the north. >> look at something >> now let's look at something that sorry to industry, that is sorry to cut industry, but need on to the but we need to move on to the guardian a national calamity guardian and a national calamity with illustrated there with vividly illustrated there with vividly illustrated there with cambridge rowers with the cambridge rowers getting a face full of it. >> outrage over record >> yeah. outrage over record discharges of sewage into rivers and seas. >> what really gets me about this, they say that more needs to be done, and we'll talk in a second about why there's no point fines. but more than point doing fines. but more than 3.6 of discharge. 3.6 million hours of discharge. you , if you're measuring you know, if you're measuring poos by the hour, that's quite a lot. i would have thought tonnage would have been the metric. >> a lot of labels on the back of domestos bottles have been read in that. yeah but there's this thing where the water system, the water companies have this thing where if a storm happens, they're allowed to just let it all flood out untreated sewage. so in one part, that's a terrible means we're terrible rule. it means we're going get these in terrible rule. it means we're goirwater, et these in terrible rule. it means we're goirwater, we're these in terrible rule. it means we're goirwater, we're going in terrible rule. it means we're goirwater, we're going to in terrible rule. it means we're goirwater, we're going to get] the water, we're going to get more storms. there'll be more
2:10 am
more storms. so there'll be more times just allowed times when they're just allowed to there illegal to do it. there are illegal discharges need to discharges as well. we need to pay discharges as well. we need to pay to. there's no pay attention to. there's no point fine because pay attention to. there's no point are fine because pay attention to. there's no point are they fine because pay attention to. there's no point are they going1e because pay attention to. there's no point are they going to because pay attention to. there's no point are they going to care?se what are they going to care? they're just going to charge us more it's more because this is why it's one sector that shouldn't have been because been privatised. and because there's no competition. don't privatise. when you're not going to competition, can't to have competition, why can't you say one sector? >> think mean, i think the >> i think i mean, i think the railways would be at least as valid. quite a few of valid. i think quite a few of them, also in particular them, but also in particular with particular with with sewage in particular with the that the the water works that the infrastructure needs some really sort of intergenerational care and , doesn't it? which and attention, doesn't it? which of course, is it's never going to get under the under the length of the contracts that are, that are sold and bartered for. right. well, absolutely. >> and you know, the effect that this ecosystem, this is having on our ecosystem, on the health of our marine life, on our beaches, it's an absolute travesty. >> fly fishing has been hit like badly. yes. hard you know. yeah. >> so this is quite something when the, when the ex singer of the undertones is. >> yeah. it's the kind of main voice in the wilderness. >> i imagine .
2:11 am
voice in the wilderness. >> i imagine. i mean voice in the wilderness. >> i imagine . i mean fly fishing >> i imagine. i mean fly fishing obviously fishing. fishing obviously it's fishing. fishing with for flies, with flies. not for flies, because was for flies the because if it was for flies the poos help. because if it was for flies the pooyeah. help. because if it was for flies the pooyeah. loadsp. because if it was for flies the pooyeah. loads of them. >> yeah. loads of them. >> yeah. loads of them. >> that's very good. might >> that's very good. i might pass him next time pass that on to him next time i see him. finally, what's on the front page the daily star? el—sisi? >> well, it's. i'm being haunted by o'grady . and this is by paul o'grady. and this is gaby says, she talks gaby roslin, who says, she talks to paul o'grady, who sadly passed away , and she talks to passed away, and she talks to him on the phone , and, he tells him on the phone, and, he tells her to f off. i don't think she's she's particularly. well, sadly, she's got the wrong number there. yeah, she's either got the wrong number and it's just calling some poor bloke. >> i told you before, i'm not paul o'grady. >> yeah, get rid of it. >> yeah, get rid of it. >> i have a mate of a. i know him a bit, but a good mate of a mate of mine went out with gaby roslin about years and roslin about 20 years ago and said was very back said she was very nice back then. i know then. she was. i don't know whether will see if he whether maybe i will see if he can yeah, a long can intervene. yeah, a long while give a bit of an old. while ago. give a bit of an old. an old flame might be just, you know, if he might do the voice.
2:12 am
>> yeah, just maybe a little knock on the door and go. come on, gabby, i think it's time we saw a doctor. >> okay, time for the brakes, thatis >> okay, time for the brakes, that is the front pages plundered. coming up. we have that is the front pages plundeicastzoming up. we have that is the front pages plundeicast over1g up. we have that is the front pages plundeicast over the p. we have that is the front pages plundeicast over the sincerity le doubts cast over the sincerity of abdul ezedis christianity. the legitimacy of the scottish nafion the legitimacy of the scottish nation in its entirety.
2:15 am
and welcome back to headliners with me, simon evans. we have comedian steve n allen and frances. no initial foster on the panel. steve, we kick off the panel. steve, we kick off the interior section with the daily mail and, i think we file this one under shocked pikachu face. >> yes, clapham chemical attacker abdul ezedi was given a muslim funeral and burial despite claiming to have converted to christianity. it is almost as if, and i hope i'm not speaking out of turn, that maybe the conversion to christianity didn't work, because there are
2:16 am
other signs he wasn't a great christian throwing chemicals at someone . someone. >> it's not specifically indicted the gospels , i'm not indicted in the gospels, i'm not sure, but i don't think it's, you know, it would come under some of the umbrella sort of terms. >> but yeah, it feels like not the christian thing to do. so his conversion to christianity was the reasons was one of the reasons he was still proven still here, previously proven to be offender, should have be a sex offender, should have been because that. been sent back because of that. but spoke up for him. but the church spoke up for him. a judge listened to it, you know, insert joke about the church harbouring sex offenders if want, but, so twice he'd if you want, but, so twice he'd been refused asylum. that so much so he was a worry that the baptist church drew up a safeguarding for him to safeguarding contract for him to even go there. and from my point of view, as a non—religious person, it shouldn't matter if your conversion real fake. your conversion is real or fake. if you've broken laws to if you've broken enough laws to be of course you'll be deported, of course you'll get someone from church get someone from the church vouching because they're vouching for you because they're all forgiveness. you all about forgiveness. but you want want the want the church. you want the courts attention to rules? >> absolutely should be very >> absolutely should be a very much separation church and much a separation of church and state you can state thing. and you can understand church if they state thing. and you can undeito, nd church if they state thing. and you can undeito, lobbying urch if they
2:17 am
state thing. and you can undeito, lobbying forh if they state thing. and you can undeito, lobbying for greaterr want to, lobbying for greater tolerance or empathy or whatever it is. they want to describe it as , they should get nowhere as, they should get nowhere nean as, they should get nowhere near. unavoidably remind near. it does unavoidably remind us, i think, of isla blair claiming to be a woman so after being convicted, you know, this this like well—intentioned legislation. >> well, yes. so the case of isla bryson , the two time male isla bryson, the two time male rapist who got a sudden onset prison gender dysphoria and then suddenly decided he was a woman , suddenly decided he was a woman, but no, the case of abdul ezedi was obviously awful . awful. it was obviously awful. awful. it was. what it showed is that our immigration system is not fit for purpose. we're a man like that who is a sex offender, who is a danger to the public, and more specifically to women, was allowed to stay in this country for so long, even though he came here illegally and then went on to commit a horrific attack where a three year old suffered life changing injuries. >> and i can't understand. i know this is a minor point compared to all of that. i can't quite understand why the muslim
2:18 am
faith allow him to have faith would allow him to have a muslim funeral when at the very least has committed what least he he has committed what in view mortal sin of in their view is a mortal sin of apostasy. is it not to deny his faith, i suppose i mean , we're faith, i suppose i mean, we're talking before saying it's actually not. >> it's not like he planned his own funeral buying one of own funeral by buying one of those parkinson things those michael parkinson things from also, wanted from daytime tv, also, i wanted to mention there's an mp in to mention that there's an mp in the story saying like, well, the rwanda bill would fix this. no one, this is the great thing about rwanda bill is that about the rwanda bill is that they send back anyone with they can send back anyone with a criminal the rwanda criminal record. the rwanda bill, filter bill, if passed, would filter more of these kind of asylum seekers into the and let the seekers into the uk and let the good ones go. >> my okay north of >> my goodness. okay north of the border now with the telegraph, steve. and yet more counterproductive tinkering in the land of adam smith and the invisible hand , the landlords invisible hand, the landlords could be banned from raising rent under radical snp crackdown. well, no one wants to see landlords exploiting renters. let's read on. proposals include giving local authorities powers to cap as low
2:19 am
as 0. so i mean, inflation is not going to be 0. it's unbelievable. landlords could be banned from raising the rent as long as five years. all of this added together is going to mean people don't want to be landlords anymore. so will landlords anymore. so you will reduce rentable reduce the supply of rentable places. the places. the demand will stay the same . same. >> well, this is your hypothesis, steve, this has hypothesis, steve, but this has never before . never been tried before. certainly not in new york or london, know, recent london, you know, in recent memory . i mean, london, you know, in recent memory. i mean, is it's been memory. i mean, it is it's been insanely counterproductive in london, the, the not capping rents, but generally disincentive rising private landlords has been has had a catastrophic effect on rents. as a parent of a daughter who's at university in london at the moment, and i know what rents they're looking for at that tier , know, it's horrific. and , you know, it's horrific. and this you know, it this is exactly why you know, it is ever effective in the is never, ever effective in the means they hope it to be. and they are already dealing in edinburgh. of course, with extraordinarily counterproductive legislation over , which is making the over rent, which is making the edinburgh fringe non—viable for thousands of people. >> i mean, well, look, there's
2:20 am
positives to everything, but yeah, but however, what i find baffling about this is a government who is so economically illiterate that, like you say, they implement rent controls when everybody knows it is a problem of supply and demand . and the reality is and demand. and the reality is rents are high because we have a housing crisis, because we don't have enough to housing go around. therefore, should we not build more housing in order to lower rents , in order to enable lower rents, in order to enable young people to get on the housing ladder , to have families housing ladder, to have families and have babies, and then we can also deal with the thing that we're not talking about, but we really should be, which is the fact that our population replacement rates are collapsing. >> i totally agree with you. i would say within within edinburgh itself, within central edinburgh, which i know this isn't like particularly, you know, do have know, dealing with they do have beautiful stock and beautiful housing stock and i wouldn't want to see like too much interference with the, you know, of palladium, much interference with the, you kno beautiful of palladium, much interference with the, you
2:21 am
kno beautiful georgian palladium, much interference with the, you kno beautiful georgian housing. m, the beautiful georgian housing. but i will also say the rooms are very large . i mean, you are very large. i mean, you could definitely squeeze an extra, you know, sometimes looking at a 12 ceiling. >> yeah. yeah, exactly. >> yeah. yeah, exactly. >> they are there are of >> but they are there are of course like there a lot of course like there is a lot of the of scotland where they the rest of scotland where they could be building could absolutely be building more know , medium more and, and you know, medium density in the density housing in the neo—georgian that neo—georgian style for that matter. five storey tenement buildings, you know, within buildings, you know, just within the well. the rules as well. >> there's something else that jumped at me. you can't jumped out at me. you can't evict someone during of evict someone during periods of religious observance. it's whitsuntide. move . whitsuntide. i can't move. always be a reason to not be able to evict. it's epiphany. >> staying in the people's democratic republic of scotland now, francis orwell and kafka continued to battle it out for bragging rights. >> this is utterly heartbreaking. anyway, orwellian police scotland, police scotland blacklist blacklists of hate incidents threatens people's job prospects as the information can be handed to potential employers , and this is called a non—crime
2:22 am
hate incident. so you could be involved in an incident where you don't get a criminal record, where you have not even been notified that you've got a non—crime hate incident. but you may think to yourself, do you know what? maybe i want to train to be a teacher. or maybe i want to be a teacher. or maybe i want to go into some kind of caring profession. they will then do an advance security check on you, which which well which will which might well bnng which will which might well bring non—crime hate bring up a non—crime hate incident, which means you wouldn't said job, i bet even. >> and i've just thought of one thing because i remember, some years ago when my children were young and you occasionally they would for parents to would ask for parents to volunteer and them on volunteer to go and join them on coach that sort of coach trips and that sort of thing. know, just to be an thing. you know, just to be an extra high vest in the in extra high vis vest in the in the and they would the crocodile. and they would run, they called run, i think they were called crb checks get over. crb checks and get checked over. i these things crop up on i bet these things crop up on there. >> @ absolutely crop up >> they would absolutely crop up on it might well on there and it might very well get barred. it is get you barred. yeah, it is completely ridiculous because you don't get charged with any type of crime. you don't even get a say. in order to rebut
2:23 am
this or challenge it. and that's on your record. >> andrew doyle did a long thing about it, didn't he? i know, and i think put it in his book, but the thing about hate crimes is you can discuss the validity of the idea of a hate which the idea of a hate crime, which is a crime. where they is basically a crime. where they have it was have determined that it was committed with hatred for somebody immutable characteristics or protected characteristics, and that is believed to sort of enhance the degree of malice with which they committed the crime. so that that's a disputable but like a kind of credible argument. but to detach the crime and just go. so now you just had the malice. that's essentially what we're talking about here. yeah. that's all it is. the malice. no crime just, just the as it were the mens rea which you previously need to attach to the act of malice to, to create a crime that in itself is now enough to go on your record. yeah, absolutely. >> and you think about it as well . is it because some people well. is it because some people could you get a non crime hate incident which some people have
2:24 am
because of what they've tweeted or said on social media, which is not illegal, but maybe is not a position that people think is kind. for instance, if you're a gender critical feminist and you tweet something out that you know you cannot change sex, for example, might that give you a non—crime hate incident? >> let's let steve put the sorry, the defence. >> well, no, i mean no. >> why do you why do you agree with censorship and agree with it? because people like you >> because if people like you with it doesn't make >> because if people like you with sense it doesn't make >> because if people like you with sense to it doesn't make >> because if people like you withsense to me doesn't make >> because if people like you withsense to me because �*nake >> because if people like you with sense to me because of ke any sense to me because of things like imagine you send a tweet that might perceived tweet that might be perceived as racist would you racist and that would stop you working carer with working as a carer with old people. you kidding they people. are you kidding me? they would that. would love chat like that. >> true. >> yes. it's true. >> so absolutely true. they genuinely though. they genuinely would though. they would had would like somebody who had a sense humour. sense of humour. >> you they remember sense of humour. >> it you they remember sense of humour. >> it was u they remember sense of humour. >> it was all they remember sense of humour. >> it was all like they remember sense of humour. >> it was all like that remember sense of humour. >> it was all like that asmember what it was all like that as well. but one of these might stop getting a job. you stop you getting a job. ten you could show here. could get your own show here. >> true. yeah. to could get your own show here. >> aftermathe. yeah. to could get your own show here. >> aftermathe. yeah.crocuso the aftermath of the crocus massacre. and the massacre. steve. and the telegraph suggests that putin's massacre. steve. and the teleg circle uggests that putin's massacre. steve. and the teleg circle ug dubiousat putin's massacre. steve. and the teleg circle ug dubious aboutn's inner circle is dubious about his messaging. inner circle is dubious about his messiputin allies do not >> yeah, putin allies do not believe ukraine was involved in
2:25 am
moscow attack . the inner moscow terror attack. the inner circle reportedly that circle reportedly agree that kyiv had no connection to it. so putin's allies have more sense than people who are commenting on youtube under this right now. i guarantee you someone's going like, oh, it's ukraine's all a sham and cat's eye, if you're in a row and you find yourself siding with putin, it's time to have a little check with yourself. putin's blamed ukraine for the us and even for this. the us and even brussels for the isis attack. but he doesn't want to whine. >> . doesn't to >> mountain. he doesn't seem to want address possibility want to address the possibility of islamic terrorism. would that be is that correct? which is what most people assume it is. yes >> but just trying yes >> yeah. but just trying to find a connect so that a way to connect it so that there some blame. i think there is some blame. i think what's going on here is he's running soldiers. it running out of soldiers. it might conscription. running out of soldiers. it might not conscription. running out of soldiers. it might not to conscription. running out of soldiers. it might not to be 1scription. running out of soldiers. it might not to be popularn. that's not going to be popular unless convince your unless you can convince your populace that they're out get populace that they're out to get us.look populace that they're out to get us. look they've done. us. look what they've done. a few of these attacks. then few more of these attacks. then next you people will next thing you know, people will be signing. be in favour of signing. >> be fair, worked >> well, to be fair, it worked for cheney. at the for dick cheney. we're at the half in part three, half way point in part three, new forms of colonialism, new forms and new forms of terror and new
2:29 am
welcome back to headliners for the second half or the third quarter. guardian. now, francis . quarter. guardian. now, francis. and to borrow from comrade leo's playbook, what's racist today ? playbook, what's racist today? hiring black nurses is racist. ha >> so, recruitment of nurses from global south branded new form of colonialism. african african nurse leaders say poorer nafions african nurse leaders say poorer nations face severe shortage despite rules intended to stop wealthy countries poaching staff. now actually, i do have quite a bit of empathy with these countries. they train these countries. they train these nurses up. these are nurses who are meant to be working in their countries in order to help their own nation's sick, and the nhs comes along and wealthier nations poaches them, takes them away and
2:30 am
they're left with a severe shortage as a result. and one of these, one of these heads of nursing said that actually they've got no problems with nurses going off. however there it is the duty of the nation taking the nurse to pay to replace them for training. so absolutely. and i actually think that's pretty fair. >> it's funny you mention that. i listen to the private eye podcast for the first time recently. it's called page 94 or something. it's quite good. and they had, the, doctor who goes to the edinburgh fringe occasionally, the chap who's quite funny, what's his name ? quite funny, what's his name? tall redhead. >> oh, yeah. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah . him. >> oh, yeah. >> yeah. him. his name. yeah. it'll come to us in a minute, he was saying that it's a similar thing in britain at the moment, a lot of, highly qualified medical staff are getting their papers and going straight to australia. when they get where they get much better remuneration and living standards package standards and a better package all solution is just the sort
2:31 am
>> the solution is just the sort of thing. >> and he says that this is the and with the public and it's also with the public private split. people private sector split. so people doctors private go, doctors go private and you go, well fine. but we need well that's fine. but we need who's to pay for their who's going to pay for their training and you're supposed to and these kind of and there are all these kind of loopholes around who has to pay to next generation. to train up the next generation. and absolutely is the issue and that absolutely is the issue really, think. really, i think. >> solution would be if >> so the solution would be if all nurses from gambia go to all the nurses from gambia go to the the medical staff the uk, all the medical staff from uk go to australia. we from the uk go to australia. we just need force australia just need to force australia to send medical send their trained up medical gambia yeah. sorted gambia to gambia. yeah. sorted it. absolutely >> yeah. yeah. absolutely i think it is important to recognise britain is very think it is important to recogra.e britain is very think it is important to recogra mid—tiertain is very think it is important to recogra mid—tier nation very think it is important to recogra mid—tier nation .ery think it is important to recogra mid—tier nation . that's much a mid—tier nation. that's the importance of this. it's not driving main suction is driving it. the main suction is coming from, from the, from the global again funnily global south. again funnily enough. yeah i, i don't enough. yeah. yeah i, i don't want on until i remember want to move on until i remember his name, but i can picture him so well. got freckles and so well. he's got freckles and everything, but. >> yeah, yeah, but there we go. but, know, it's for these but, you know, it's for these countries it very real countries. it is a very real problem. and really , that's what problem. and really, that's what we i would imagine quite a lot of are training of these nurses are training with a view to coming here. of these nurses are training witioh,/iew to coming here. of these nurses are training witioh, absolutely. ing here. of these nurses are training witioh, absolutely. well,3re. of these nurses are training witioh, absolutely. well, what's
2:32 am
>> oh, absolutely. well, what's going be the table. going to be on the table. >> absolutely. and look you going to be on the table. >> aiblame ly. and look you going to be on the table. >> aiblame themd look you going to be on the table. >> aiblame them either you going to be on the table. >> aiblame them either because can't blame them either because if the chance to go to if you had the chance to go to a to go to a country where you were going to be better, were going to be paid better, where conditions were going where the conditions were going to you were to be better, where you were going able to work going to be able to work and then send back to your then send money back to your family that they could have family so that they could have a better living. you better standard of living. you can't blame them. better standard of living. you canthe ame them. better standard of living. you canthe push them. better standard of living. you canthe push back quickly >> the push back just quickly would the responsibility would be it's the responsibility of the nation, not nation of the nation, not the nation that up the nurses, that ends up with the nurses, because there that ends up with the nurses, beca says there that ends up with the nurses, beca says that there that ends up with the nurses, beca says that the there that ends up with the nurses, beca says that the nurses1ere that ends up with the nurses, beca says that the nurses come that says that the nurses come to go with extra to the uk, go back with extra skills. well then you're going to some of money to spend, send some of the money back. you to have back. if you want to have a workforce of good nurses, you should them. and that's should train them. and that's what doing as well. what we should be doing as well. >> telegraph steve. >> absolutely. telegraph steve. anti—monarchy. campaigners see no down a bit, no reason to dial it down a bit, just of royal cancer. no reason to dial it down a bit, justyeah. of royal cancer. no reason to dial it down a bit, justyeah. anti—monarchy cer. >> yeah. anti—monarchy campaigners vowed to continue protests cancer protests despite royal cancer diagnoses . protests despite royal cancer diagnoses. fair enough. i mean, they say here that they don't . they say here that they don't. they're demonstrating against the institution, not individuals. i bet they mention a certain individual when they're doing prince andrew jokes, but, it's fair enough because disagree with the because if you disagree with the concept of one family having
2:33 am
some god given to be some god given right to be better rest of us, you better than the rest of us, you disagree with that, regardless of some them are ill and of if some of them are ill and credit they're credit where it's due. they're not protesters. we're not the worst protesters. we're living where the m25 living in a time where the m25 will shut down. if someone will be shut down. if someone thinks have enough thinks you don't have enough lagging and the lagging in your loft and the 2000 away, a war happens 2000 miles away, a war happens and saturdays ruined. and our saturdays get ruined. these relatively these are people who relatively protest the old fashioned way. turn up a couple of, you know, placards they will be protesting at worcester cathedral when the queen will represent the king for the royal maundy service, which can't your which means you can't evict your renters. maundy >> i see what you're saying, and i agree to a degree , but this is i agree to a degree, but this is also quite personal. they're protesting outside the church at which queen camilla is , is which queen camilla is, is taking on the duties that her husband is currently unable to do. i mean, i don't know, it feels a bit on the nose to me. just just a little bit . i just just a little bit. i understand what they say. we don't have an issue with the individuals. we have an we have an issue with the institution. you know , but the institution is you know, but the institution is manifest those particular
2:34 am
manifest in those particular individuals who are having a rough time at the moment. if somebody was like, i don't know if you wanted to see alex ferguson , like chucked out of ferguson, like chucked out of man you know, and man united, you know, and replaced manager, and then replaced as manager, and then you learned he cancer, i you learned he had cancer, i might know , that week might take, you know, that week off, no, but yeah, you off, but no, but yeah, but you haven't liverpool fans , so. haven't met liverpool fans, so. okay is there any argument. no. francis you're on the same side right , i do francis you're on the same side right, i do you francis you're on the same side right , i do you know what francis you're on the same side right, i do you know what i think it is a little bit distasteful. you can have your you can have your criticisms of the monarchy. of course they are many and there are there are valid but kate's been diagnosed with cancer . charles valid but kate's been diagnosed with cancer. charles has been diagnosed with cancer. his bank houday diagnosed with cancer. his bank holiday weekend. just take the weekend off, have an egg, have an egg. you know, just just wait for them to get back to health. then just call them a paedophile. whatever you want to do. >> back to russia. francis putin has identified a terror group that even michael gove would
2:35 am
hesitate to prescribe. >> absolutely. putin launched his crackdown on lgbt terrorists. so masked russian officers, they burst into a crowded gay club brandishing a assault rifles and wearing body armour , and they got everybody armour, and they got everybody to lie half naked and spread eagled on the floor, which almost sounds quite homoerotic to me . and then they arrested to me. and then they arrested two people, and then putin, because his authority is being threatened, because he's projection of himself as the strongman is now coming under serious scrutiny in russia. he is saying he has classified lgbt people as terrorists. he's he's used bizarre language, the international lgbt social movement, they're terrorists. and he's called them an extremist group. i mean, which, to be fair, andrew doyle would probably agree with this. >> is it? well, this i'm not i
2:36 am
don't even know if i want to go devil's advocate here, but i wonder if he thinks that lgbt, lgb btec is, like , moral poison, lgb btec is, like, moral poison, whether he thinks it's, you know, decadence , whether it's know, decadence, whether it's just, like, viscerally disgusting to him or whether he in in consensus with yourself earlier is really more troubled by russia's plummeting birth rate as well and sees anything which works against traditional family structure and fertility as being a threat to the nation's viability. this is what i suspect it's coming from. rather than just a hatred for disco. how many more kids do you think you get if you just force gay people not to be openly gay ? gay people not to be openly gay? well, mean, understand what well, i mean, i understand what you that's what is you mean. like that's what is it, 2% of the population. traditionally it was always understood the effect understood to be. but the effect does possibly, and does seem to be possibly, and i don't but just don't know, but it just correlates does seem correlates the effect does seem to more, appealing to be that the more, appealing you make a childless lifestyle appean you make a childless lifestyle appear, the more young people who are heterosexual but just
2:37 am
never quite feel the time is right. might go, do you know what? i might just carry on clubbing for a little few more years. that look just looks more fun. >> yeah, we've had more of that over here to do with not being able to buy a house, rather than thinking, oh, people, thinking, oh, gay people, i am. >> i just thinking, oh, gay people, i am. >> if i just thinking, oh, gay people, i am. >> if that's i just thinking, oh, gay people, i am. >> if that's in i just thinking, oh, gay people, i am. >> if that's in hisi just thinking, oh, gay people, i am. >> if that's in his head. wonder if that's in his head. i think you're right. it's economic circumstance. >> those questionable bachelors. that's that's what historically you confirmed confirmed. yes. >> yes. >> yes. >> the. >> the. >> but then for some reason, he's raised the stakes by calling them lgbt terrorists. yeah, typo, isn't it? yeah, that's a typo, isn't it? >> said, it's >> you said, well, it's a translation. i mean, that might be one of those words like jihad, number of jihad, which has a number of meanings. exactly. jihad, which has a number of me godjs. exactly. jihad, which has a number of me god blessactly. jihad, which has a number of me god blessactly metropolitan >> god bless the metropolitan police , steve. police, steve. >> daily have a new >> daily mail have a new development the spanish kiss development in the spanish kiss gate scandal that, i must admit, i had brushed teeth and i thought had brushed teeth and gargled and spat. but no, it's back, it's back. >> thank heavens it is >> and thank heavens it is really because. so spanish really because. so the spanish prosecutors seek a two and prosecutors will seek a two and a half year prison sentence for luis rubiales, the, you know, the kiss gate scandal person. good. this seems about right, i think, burglars get think, because burglars get
2:38 am
suspended sentences. yeah. violent attackers hardly see prison time. a half prison time. two and a half years for, for this kiss. spot on. but clearly i'm joking, because to be fair, it's only one year prison sentence for the kiss . one and one year prison sentence for the kiss. one and a half year prison sentence the crime of sentence for the crime of coercion. because he asked her to make video saying he wasn't to make a video saying he wasn't guilty. so that makes more sense, because burglars get suspended sentence asking someone to make video year and someone to make a video year and a half in prison. >> good. it's extraordinary, isn't it? >> w e“- e“— >> and to be to be clear, for people who missed it, this was in not like some kind in this was not like some kind of he didn't force himself on in the the coach. if anyone the back of the coach. if anyone has forgotten, this in the has forgotten, this was in the excitement them. i don't know has forgotten, this was in the extheyrent them. i don't know has forgotten, this was in the exthey won them. i don't know has forgotten, this was in the exthey won the rem. i don't know has forgotten, this was in the exthey won the match, ion't know has forgotten, this was in the exthey won the match, but know has forgotten, this was in the exthey won the match, but yeah, if they won the match, but yeah, they they won the world they did. they won the world cup, he cup, won the world cup and he just woman in his just took this woman in his manly arms. yeah. and manly spanish arms. yeah. and kind clark gable her. right. >> and i mean, this is this is where all i where i get to all this. i watched that clip and thought, what but then the what a. yeah. but then the pushback well, should pushback was, well, he should lose his forever. like, lose his job forever. i'm like, well, calm down now. it well, let's calm down now. it should prison for two and should be in prison for two and a half years. don't make a half years. yeah. don't make me side of the perv.
2:39 am
me on the side of the perv. >> you know, i think we should get. i think we should execute him. think the only way him. i think that's the only way people learn. let's people are going to learn. let's just kill him. >> is the obvious. >> castration is the obvious. >> castration is the obvious. >> look. no. yeah, it's >> oh, look. no, no. yeah, it's a great point. castrate him. then kill him. >> castrate . no. it. yeah, >> castrate. no. do it. yeah, right. first, then. >> i kill first, then. >> i kill first, then. >> then castrate . >> then castrate. >> then castrate. >> don't waste own time. by >> don't waste your own time. by the if he. the way, if he. >> convict them the mouth >> if convict them in the mouth as left. yeah, exactly. as he's left. yeah, exactly. >> then hang him. and that's the only we're going to rid only way we're going to get rid of them. convicted, he will of them. if convicted, he will also pay, jenny hermosa, also have to pay, jenny hermosa, i think his name anymore.so, £85,000 in compensation for that much money. he could snog me for that much money. he could do most of the pornhub websites. yeah i would take a tongue for 85. >> yeah, you heard it first. >> yeah, you heard it first. >> we interrupt the news. now with a short public information film from the times. >> so, the times have said that a study has found that physically active adults are 42% less likely to struggle with sleep in other news, the sun is hot and water is wet . hot and water is wet. >> it's insane.
2:40 am
>> it's insane. >> it's insane. >> it's absolutely ridiculous . s >> it's absolutely ridiculous. s i mean, for people who exercise , i mean, for people who exercise, are 42% less likely to find it difficult to fall asleep after physical exercise. >> the only thing that might be slightly counterintuitive is you shouldn't do it immediately before going to bed. it does. it elevates the heart rate, and it takes a couple of hours to come down again. but obviously being tired is good. >> and 22% less likely to >> yeah. and 22% less likely to have symptoms insomnia . have any symptoms of insomnia. so did we really need a study to confirm this. >> it's i mean, some health news does seem to sort of ricochet between absurd things like , you between absurd things like, you know, just drinking lizard gall or something and or fasting for eight years and, like, try and get plenty of sunshine , drink get plenty of sunshine, drink lots of water, you know, healthy, balanced diet and maybe, you know , walk the dog. maybe, you know, walk the dog. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and don't eat chips. >> and don't eat chips. >> the, so this is in the times but normally i my big annoyance is the daily mail's health feature because genuinely for agesi feature because genuinely for ages i used to read it and it

2:44 am
yeah. welcome back to headliners for the final session tonight we have the telegraph. steve. and what? i have spent my entire marriage trying to persuade my wife. turns out to be true. >> yeah, they've done some study of foods affect men of five foods that affect men and differently . one of and women differently. one of them alcohol. if you're them is alcohol. if you're calling food, calling that a food, i've spotted your problem in life already. >> the five a day, isn't it? >> just is the quick version sugar for yeah, fat. sugar bad for men? yeah, fat. bad men can drink more bad for men. men can drink more

2:47 am
999 going to eat a whole chocolate egg now . now, when? the reality egg now. now, when? the reality is, nigel, why do you hold chocolate egg? you. you smoke what? how might . you're not what? how might. you're not going to taste it anyway, mate. >> i will say this. i think we all discuss this in the interval. it is too tempting to eat too much chocolate, honestly. oh, yeah. it is a tradition. it's fine if that's what you want to do. i can't imagine nobody's noticed before, but is worth just but still, it is worth just forbearing little bit. or forbearing a little bit. or maybe smaller eggs. maybe buying smaller eggs. you know, ones that you like know, those ones that you like a collection of eggs? you know, that's quite nice thing. but that's quite a nice thing. but the that really annoys me the thing that really annoys me about really bad. about it is it's really bad. chocolate eggs generally chocolate eggs are, generally speaking, of the worst speaking, made out of the worst kind of nutella kind of sort of nutella chocolate, you lots of oil chocolate, you know, lots of oil in not good quality, is it? >> cadbury famously downgraded its of chocolate in the its quality of chocolate in the creme five years creme egg about five years ago or something. >> eat those anymore. >> i don't eat those anymore. they're like mutant these they're really like mutant these days, they? like days, aren't they? they're like eggs chernobyl or eggs, like chernobyl eggs or something to push something like, just to push back on nigel farage. >> this is the nanny state. it's not the nanny state. this is a guy being interviewed times guy being interviewed on times radio about eggs. he went,
2:48 am
