9:04 pm
gender affirming care? mislabelling men as women and failing to safeguard children? plus, has donald trump overstepped the mark by posting this image of joe biden on social media? i'm going to be getting reaction from a top us political commentator who isn't very happy trump . and we've very happy with trump. and we've got tomorrow's front pages at 1030 with three top pundits who haven't been told what to say and don't follow the script. and who don't follow the script. tonight, jo—anne nadler christopher biggins and lisa mckenzie and tonight i'll be asking the pundits, is tv comedy asking the pundits, is tv comedy a thing of the past? and for health reasons, should we clock out of daylight saving? so it's a big two hours to come. we start with my big opinion . on start with my big opinion. on april fool's day, the scottish government will enter a new authoritarian era in a bid to eliminate hatred in scotland. first minister humza yousaf has pushed through his new hate
9:05 pm
crime laws some of the most draconian legislation the country has ever seen. citizens can be arrested for things they say in the privacy of their own home. anyone in scotland can make a complaint about anything they overhear or anything they read online. if an offensive comment is read in scotland , the comment is read in scotland, the new law says it has been published in scotland and so no one is safe, particularly since the criteria appears to be whether one finds something offensive and perceives it to be motivated by hatred. this emphasis on the perception of the victim means that there is no evidential threshold required for something to be recorded as hateful and even if not criminal, we could find ourselves branded with a non—crime hate incident. if this happens to you, you're not going to be told. but if you apply for a job that requires a disclosure and barring service check, such as probably not as teaching, you're probably not get that job. so here's humza yousaf defending the practice of recording non—crime tens of incidents in hate crime incidents, it's important that
9:06 pm
they are recorded because what it does is it gives police an idea of where they might be space hatred. space and hatred. >> behaviour not be >> that behaviour might not be criminal, can then see criminal, but they can then see a pattern that simply so a pattern that is simply done so police there is police can see if there is a rise anti—semitism, for rise in anti—semitism, for example, in, example, or a rise in, homophobia, right, right across the country. it's important that police are able to monitor any patterns of hatred that might emerge . emerge. >> now, we already know that this lawful . in this probably isn't lawful. in december 2021, the court of appeal ruled that the recording of non—crime hate incidents is plainly an interference with freedom of expression, and earlier that year , the home earlier that year, the home secretary, priti patel, had instructed the police to stop all such investigations. and in march 2023, the then home secretary, suella braverman , secretary, suella braverman, published new guidelines reminding police that the recording of non—crime must be stopped. but in spite of all of these things, these government decrees a high court ruling that's emphasised its illegality, the college of policing in england and wales carried on and the scottish
9:07 pm
police are clearly following suit. when yusef's bill was first proposed in the in early 2020, the scottish police federation said that it would be akin to the, quote, policing of what people think or feel . the what people think or feel. the law society of scotland called it, quote, a significant threat to freedom of expression. roddy dunlop qc warned that jokes about scotsmen, irishmen and englishmen could fall foul of the law and the snp are making it very easy for people to snoop on their fellow citizens . on their fellow citizens. they're setting up hate crime reporting centres, which include libraries and mushroom farm in east lothian, and a sex shop in glasgow. you can even report someone anonymously. what could possibly go wrong? the police have even created a mascot to promote their new law, a fluffy red hate monster who looks like a reject sesame street . and a reject from sesame street. and this really does have to be seen to be believed. >> you meet, you only have a go at somebody, neighbour, at somebody, a neighbour, somebody who on the street on a night out security guy on the
9:08 pm
doom night out security guy on the door, somebody in the chippy. your taxi driver. you make you want to vent your anger. just because folk look or act different for you . the hate different for you. the hate monster wants you to feel that you need to show your better than them . than them. >> well, i think that tells us an awful lot about the low regard in which the snp hold the scottish people. they treat them like children. basically, they think they ought to be coddled and protected from nasty words. let's forget it was the snp let's not forget it was the snp that attempted to assign a state guardian to every single scottish child through its failed named persons scheme, and if they don't trust parents with their own children, why should they trust anyone to speak their minds ? and a front cover of the minds? and a front cover of the herald newspaper ran herald newspaper last week ran with this headline police told to target comics under new hate crime law. so, according to leaked training materials, police are to keep an eye on comedians and actors who might violate the section of the new law that covers the public
9:09 pm
performance of a play. when questioned in parliament about this aspect of the bill a couple of years ago, humza yousaf claimed that it was feasible for the stage the far right to stage a theatrical performance in order to stir up hatred. and i don't know any neo—nazis myself, but i'm pretty sure they're fans i'm pretty sure they're not fans of amateur dramatics. and while the in scotland the police in scotland have claimed that they will not target performers, this seems very much at odds with the training they've been receiving. an for the bbc news an article for the bbc news quotes a lawyer claiming that performers and writers must trust to luck that they're not prosecuted , and that the police prosecuted, and that the police have pledged to investigate every complaint they receive. well, thankfully, activists never make vexatious complaints to the police about their ideological opponents in order to silence them. oh wait, actually they do, don't they? all the time. in fact, many have already boasted that they will be reporting jk rowling to the scottish police on the 1st of april for misgendering india willoughby. and he thought, well, if all it takes to get a
9:10 pm
visit from the police is calling a man, then we truly a man a man, then we are truly in dark territory. police scotland is already stretched to the limit, which is why it recently announced its proportional response strategy . proportional response strategy. that's to say the police will no longer investigate vandalism or theft if the crimes are unlikely to be solved, and yet they will now be expected to investigate every single complaint made simply on the basis of people feeling offended . now, the truth feeling offended. now, the truth is that hate speech laws are simply not compatible with the values of a liberal democracy. these are new blasphemy codes, and they will set a precedent for any future government to outlaw certain forms of speech . outlaw certain forms of speech. no government that ever passes hate speech laws has ever been able to successfully define what hate means . i able to successfully define what hate means. i mean, i hate actually means. i mean, i find it hateful and offensive to criminalise citizens for their free speech. and if i complain, will the scottish police investigate themselves? or they could start with humza yousaf. and who's to say that a future
9:11 pm
government might not decide that criticism of their policies constitutes hate ? when it comes constitutes hate? when it comes to the statute books, we really don't want such nebulous and subjective ideas. of course , the subjective ideas. of course, the scottish police have a history of authoritarian overreach . in of authoritarian overreach. in february 2020, a freedom of information request by the times revealed that police in scotland were keeping a database of objectionable gags posted online. an offensive joke may be reported by someone, a spokesperson said, but not amount to any criminality. so we would log this as a hate incident. in 2016, a tweet by police scotland , greater glasgow police scotland, greater glasgow this was also on april fools day, claimed that officers would be knocking on doors if citizens posted anything that was hurtful, illegal, untrue , unkind hurtful, illegal, untrue, unkind or unnecessary. they failed to consider that if all unnecessary tweets were deleted , twitter tweets were deleted, twitter would cease to exist. the problem is that scotland is essentially a one party state. the snp retain their
9:12 pm
stranglehold over the country because a substantial proportion of its citizens desire independence and are willing to overlook the party's myriad failings in all other aspects of governance. but it's becoming increasingly clear that with the snp in power, genuine independence is the last thing the scottish people are going to get. instead they've empowered a party with authoritarianism baked into its dna, a party that seeks to control what its citizens say and think. this new hate crime law will doubtless be weaponised against people simply for holding opinions that the elite do not like. and even if such complaints don't make it all the way to court, this won't stop the police from invading your privacy, seizing your phones and your computers , and phones and your computers, and putting you on watch lists that may well prevent you from may very well prevent you from getting a job. as many people have process is the have noted, the process is the punishment. and given that we know are many activists know there are many activists within the scottish police force now emboldened the state, now emboldened by the state, things are going to get a whole
9:13 pm
lot worse after this new law comes into effect on april the 1st. so speak freely while you can. you've got a couple of days left, and after that the police will be cracking down on anyone who knows the difference between men and women and is willing to declare loud. give men and women and is willing to declone loud. give men and women and is willing to declone example,i. give men and women and is willing to declone example, although it just one example, although it has become a cliche to cite george orwell's 1984, in such circumstances, that's only because it is so apposite the party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears . evidence of your eyes and ears. it was their final, most essential command . now, essential command. now, recently, yusef said the threshold for threatening behaviour had been set incredibly high to ensure that innocent people were not criminalised, and added what's dangerous isn't the law. what's dangerous isn't the law. what's dangerous isn't the law. what's dangerous is hate crime in our society. well, let me know your thoughts gbviews@gbnews.uk do get in touch, but first let's hear from tonight's top pundits .
9:14 pm
hear from tonight's top pundits. we've got lisa mckenzie, the broadcaster and anarchist . we broadcaster and anarchist. we have christopher biggins, actor and tv personality and jo—anne nadler political commentator. welcome to the show, everyone. great to see you. any thoughts about this? i'm going to start with you, joanne. you with you, joanne. are you worried scotland worried about the scotland hate crime think we should all >> yeah, i think we should all be very worried about it. i think very sinister. it's think it's very sinister. it's very chilling and it just makes you on the fact that we you reflect on the fact that we never seem to learn. yes. i mean, it's really not that many years ago since we were, all celebrating the fall of the berlin wall. yes. and everything that that seemed to represent for the west. and this great sort of, you know, cry of freedom that we all had. and i think it's particularly sort of poignant if you think about what was, what was so sad about what you've just said in reference to this idea that people are going to be reporting on each other in very much the way that they did, behind wall. yes. and
9:15 pm
behind the berlin wall. yes. and particularly in east germany. yeah. >> it feels like the stasi, doesn't it? a little bit. >> this is the culture and the attack family as well. attack on the family as well. you about the thankfully, you talked about the thankfully, the introduce the failed effort to introduce guardians for everybody, but this was the idea that, you know, children can't be trusted with their own parents. and now it that what the snp it would seem that what the snp are saying is that parents can't it would seem that what the snp aretrusted is that parents can't it would seem that what the snp aretrusted with at parents can't it would seem that what the snp aretrusted with theirrents can't it would seem that what the snp aretrusted with their own can't be trusted with their own children, because it may very well are well be their children that are reporting them for hate crimes. >> so of course, >> so and of course, that's happened happened happened before, that happened dunng happened before, that happened during cultural revolution happened before, that happened duchina. cultural revolution happened before, that happened duchina. itcultural revolution happened before, that happened duchina. it happened volution in china. it happened in stalin's children were stalin's russia. children were reporting their parents because they overheard some subversive comments. parents got comments. those parents got shot. i'm not suggesting that's going scotland, going to happen in scotland, but you you're down that you know, you're going down that path. could path. christopher. maybe i could just play devil's advocate a little you know, us little bit. you know, none of us like none of us like hateful ideas. none of us like hateful ideas. none of us like don't like hateful language. we don't like hateful language. we don't like in a society where like to live in a society where people hateful. is people are being hateful. but is this the way deal with it? this the way to deal with it? >> think it is all. >> i don't think it is at all. i mean, for instance, me mean, for instance, it makes me think whitehouse. oh yes think of mary whitehouse. oh yes . who you know, was was brought in to do exactly what they're going to do now and then. thankfully, she was got rid of. yes, very unceremoniously and we
9:16 pm
can go back in history, as you've just said, far, far more this is yes, this has been going on for a long time. >> there's nothing new about it, is it? >> no. but i mean, how can they even about bringing even think about bringing this in i suppose part the >> well, i suppose part of the point i mean, terms of point is i mean, in terms of what you're about what you're saying about the history there history of this, i think there is appeal to is always an appeal to authoritarianism human authoritarianism in the human instinct . and it comes from the instinct. and it comes from the left, from right, everywhere left, from the right, everywhere in think , lisa, in between. i don't think, lisa, this political. no, this is party political. no, i don't about i think don't think it's about i think there something about there is something about the snp. like to, control snp. they just like to, control and coddle and patronise the electorate. >> i think the snp always think they're right. i think that's they're right. i think that's the problem with the snp. they think they're right. so they think they're right. so they think they're right. so they think they're doing best think they're doing the best for everybody. i'm an anarchist, this sort of thing, am. hate this sort of thing, i am. i hate it and i'm actually i have been arrested. where the police did the metropolitan police tried to sort of do me for hate crime. what is it you've done? i was holding a poster up, which said we found new homes for the rich, and it was a cemetery , and i was
9:17 pm

9:19 pm
so line into criminality? it's the line into criminality? it's wholly subjective. >> i mean, essentially, that's why such a dangerous why this is such a dangerous move by the snp, isn't it? because, as you say , it's really because, as you say, it's really down to individual interpretation. and i think you mentioned the college of policing, which seems to have been at the centre of a great deal of what's gone wrong. >> introduced the >> well, they introduced the idea of non—crime hate incidents. in day incidents. well, back in the day they the they weren't told by the government they just government to do that. they just did and there's something >> and there's something gone wrong in wrong with accountability in this country that these institutions can essentially kind of rule themselves. yes. and introduce things that are sort of borderline that effectively through the action becomes what's perceived as being the law , even though it's being the law, even though it's not the law, but the police are under such stress anyway . under such stress anyway. >> now they can't go around saying, this is saying, you know, this is terrible. going to arrest terrible. i'm going to arrest you years. it's you for 12 years. it's impossible. that's i impossible. well, that's what i was about, you know, was saying about, you know, they've already declared they're was saying about, you know, thejgoing ready declared they're was saying about, you know, thejgoing toidy declared they're was saying about, you know, thejgoing toidy dec|with they're was saying about, you know, thejgoing toidy dec|with tilot re not going to bother with a lot of theft, vandalism, of theft, a lot of vandalism, because they just don't have the resources . but there's much more resources. but there's much more important things important to do things about theft . theft. >> could you imagine two neighbours doing the

9:22 pm
9:23 pm
9:24 pm
this -- this is mark dolan tonight on gb news with me. andrew doyle standing in tonight. let's get to some your emails first. so to some of your emails first. so this sue. sue this one's coming from sue. sue says, that says, could this mean that scottish people to scottish people will try to claim asylum in england as living in scotland is unsafe? it's an interesting concept, but remember , even if you're not in remember, even if you're not in scotland, you can still be reported. if someone reads something offensive that you've posted strange posted in scotland. very strange . richard is saying how can the scots wrong in 2024? very scots go so wrong in 2024? very good question. edinburgh is the home of the enlightenment, so what's gone on there? scotland is now north korea. terrifying. so that's mark's view. and another mark says this bill is
9:25 pm
as dangerous as you pointed out. i was brought up in a tough environment where you learn to deal with anything offensive yourself. managed yourself. we all managed and would have gone whining to would never have gone whining to the police. what a wimpish society creating. this society we're creating. this bill will create mayhem . it's bill will create mayhem. it's interesting, isn't it? i understand that people can be upset and offended . i get upset and offended. i get offended by various things, but running to the police to running off to the police to try and people silenced, i think and get people silenced, i think that's step far, that's probably a step too far, isn't well it's time now for isn't it? well it's time now for the big story. this afternoon there a stand off between there was a stand off between pro—palestine and counter—protesters in london. it was the 11th march organised by the pro palestine group. it was largely peaceful, but arrests were made for hate speech and what was concerning was the amount of anti—semitic videos which were posted on social media today . so here's just media today. so here's just a few of the more troubling clips . few of the more troubling clips. from around yum yum and bakers pro.
9:26 pm
>> saying i fully support hamas. they resisted the occupation. i fully support hamas . move it fully support hamas. move it down to the occupation here in britain. >> look at this . paint a picture >> look at this. paint a picture of that. who controls britain is the is the jewish people control the is the jewish people control the britain . 40% of the mps are the britain. 40% of the mps are jewish and that's why these police are under their. >> so while the pro—palestine marches a platform for hate . marches a platform for hate. joining me now is the founder and director of faith matters, fears miguel fears. thanks so much for joining fears miguel fears. thanks so much forjoining us tonight. much for joining us tonight. really appreciate it. now you saw some of the clips there. there's very disturbing there's some very disturbing footage there. someone suggesting that jews run the country , another suggesting that country, another suggesting that hamas worthy of support, hamas are worthy of support, now, do you think this is just a few bad apples, or do you think there's a problem within the movement itself ? movement itself? >> well, i think there are some issues around elements of the movement , issues around elements of the
9:27 pm
movement, but, clearly this is not to say all of the protesters are very clear about that, but there are these threads that come through in these demonstrations where you have individuals coming and popping up saying they support hamas. so i something i think there is something around individuals being drawn who support to kind who support hamas to these kind of demonstrations, the second thing to say is also i again, i'm a i'm a libertarian by nature. the fact is, you know, people can demonstrate and they have every right to demonstrate. the key thing here, though, is we've seen seen placards, we've seen we've seen placards, we've seen we've seen placards, we've . we've seen we've seen symbols. we've seen language that makes our british jewish communities feel scared and makes our british jewish communities also report in we're talking about hate crime , but talking about hate crime, but actually report in anti—semitic incidences that make or generate fear within section owns large sections of our british jewish community. so these things are unacceptable . unacceptable. >> now, i do want to emphasise the point you mentioned there, which is i would not for a second to smear of the second want to smear all of the people attending these people who are attending these marches sure the
9:28 pm
marches. i'm sure that the majority there would majority of people there would find things find those kind of things abhorrent i'm the majority abhorrent. i'm sure the majority of genuine, of people there are genuine, genuinely and upset by genuinely concerned and upset by the distressing images we've seen and the death of seen in gaza and the death of civilians. i think that's a that's but that's absolutely clear. but what me, though, is when what worries me, though, is when you have elements of marches you have elements of the marches where are making statements where they are making statements like support hamas, why like they support hamas, why aren't people there aren't the other people there addressing that, shutting that down, saying, no, you shouldn't be saying that here. you know, i feel that sometimes that's an evidence. that's evidence that there's at least complaint kc from a lot of the people there when it comes to this stuff. is that fair comment? >> that a comment. >> that would be a fair comment. look, the matter is look, the fact of the matter is now been, what, maybe four, now it's been, what, maybe four, four and a half months that, support has been made support for hamas has been made criminal people are well aware now aware now and should be well aware that it now and should be well aware thatitis now and should be well aware that it is a criminal offence. that's a starting point. let's start with the criminality element. the second point is if they have decency and they they have any decency and they hear that, it's just shut it down actually it's down because actually it's unacceptable. it's unacceptable for the sake our british
9:29 pm
for the sake that our british jewish communities feel so threatened by the language. it's unacceptable hamas unacceptable because hamas invaded israel on the 7th of october and carried out mass atrocities . these things are not atrocities. these things are not on, you know, you can demonstrate absolutely . but we demonstrate absolutely. but we need people to be also shutting these kind of common straight down by actually actually saying, look, you either leave the demonstration right now and or will report you to the or i will report you to the police. that's the way to tackle these individuals and not just allow them to voice their toxic support . support for hamas. >> wouldn't it be maybe a strategically progressive move for some of the main figures within the pro—palestine protest movement to make sure that in these marches they are openly denouncing hamas? i mean, hamas, i would argue, are the worst thing to have ever happened to the palestinian population . you the palestinian population. you know, why they not coming know, why are they not coming out we denounce out and saying, we denounce hamas, we denounce what took place on october the and place on october the 7th and start from position ? start from that position? >> well, i think it's a fair i think that's a fair point. you know, they can put a public statement whether
9:30 pm
statement out, whether it's on a website the domain , website or in the public domain, using social platforms. using social media platforms. they need to put a statement out, because , you out, i believe, because, you know, the legitimate protests about happening in gaza about what's happening in gaza need to be, in a way marked out from those who keep quiet about this kind of in a way , this kind of in a way, insidious, i would say, underlying support for some of the violent tendencies, i.e. support for hamas. there needs to be a clear demarcation for those peaceful protesters who want to protest and actually, i would say somewhat a silent nature of the demonstrators who allow for this kind of behaviour and comments to carry on, but the fact of the matter is, it's a clear line. there's no two ways about it. it's a criminal offence this country. and offence in this country. and actually have actually we need to have a statement this group statement that says this group is unacceptable. we're not demonstrating for this kind of group . we're demonstrating for group. we're demonstrating for the palestinians. kind group. we're demonstrating for th
9:31 pm
police have maybe been a little bit? now? i know there were arrests that the arrests today, but that in the past have there's past there have been there's been much tolerance been a bit too much tolerance when comes kind of when it comes to this kind of thing. police have thing. but then the police have been severe when been particularly severe when it comes such comes to other issues, such as misgendering like comes to other issues, such as misg
9:32 pm
repeatedly time and time again . repeatedly time and time again. the law is clear. we don't need more laws. there are numerous existing laws in our country, but the fact is, the police need to implement it properly. i would also say politicians need to invest more in our policing to invest more in our policing to make sure they implement the laws in practice. >> one of the things that concerns me slightly is that when these kinds of things happen, they give and happen, they give succour and ammunition to the kind of people who say , let's ban the marches who say, let's ban the marches altogether. and i would be very concerned about, i think that would affect all of because would affect all of us, because i to peaceful i think the right to peaceful protest is it applies to us all, irrespective our stance on irrespective of our stance on this position. >> totally right. look i will stand for the right for anyone to demonstrate whether i like their opinion or not. it is a fundamental, their opinion or not. it is a fundamental , sacrosanct value of fundamental, sacrosanct value of our democratic society, right ? our democratic society, right? everyone has the right to demonstrate peacefully. that is a right . i demonstrate peacefully. that is a right. i would also demonstrate peacefully. that is a right . i would also say, demonstrate peacefully. that is a right. i would also say, i think we need to make clear that government can't go around heavily policing certain demonstrations and allowing
9:33 pm
other demonstrations to get away scot right . and i go back scot free, right. and i go back to the point, the applicability of the law needs to be equal, but it must not transcend the individual right to protest in our country. that is a fundamental, our country. that is a fundamental , sacrosanct nature fundamental, sacrosanct nature of the value of our country . of the value of our country. >> well, it's a fascinating topic, and i'm sure we'll see further developments as we go on. well, first, mogul, thank you much for joining on. well, first, mogul, thank you much forjoining me you so much forjoining me tonight . tonight. >> coming up with tonight's >> so coming up with tonight's top pundits is tv comedy a thing of the past ? top pundits is tv comedy a thing of the past? this is mark dolan tonight on gb news with me.

9:37 pm
question, mark says those young boys shouting like that at the demonstrations are a future danger to this country and our future democracy. yeah, it's very disturbing when you see children calling out support for the houthi it the houthi rebels. it does suggest that that's not really coming from them. it's perhaps coming from them. it's perhaps coming from them. it's perhaps coming from some people coming from some older people who have some influence there. i would of all, would suggest, last of all, we've from cathy. cathy we've got this from cathy. cathy says now sixth says we are now in the sixth month these marches . every month of these marches. every single the jewish single week. the jewish community us community has been telling us that are that these marches are anti—semitic on so many levels, and are fearful. and that they are fearful. therefore, anyone still willing and eager to attend these marches than happy to marches are more than happy to make the community feel make the jewish community feel uncomfortable. i would uncomfortable. i mean, i would argue that i think a lot of the people there want do people there don't want to do that, think there's that, but i think there's a significant number who do, and that's problem there. significant number who do, and that�*they're problem there. significant number who do, and that�*they're ptolerated ere. and they're being tolerated a bit view. bit too much, in my view. but anyway, tv comedy a thing of anyway, is tv comedy a thing of the past? so a new report by ampere analysis shows there was a 41% drop in the number of new comedy shows ordered last year by the bbc, and even established

9:40 pm
the humour of the kids? >> well, you know, i, i'm going to come at this from a class point of view. yeah, in the 70s and the 60s, 70s, 50s, 60s and 70s, actually working class writers were getting a chance and were coming through and and they were coming through and they were creating really interesting and funny brownite things like carla lane and people like, yeah, yeah. and also, you know, we had rising damp. yeah. know, sort of, damp. yeah. you know, sort of, very sort of small sets but very funny things. >> well, it's harder for people who haven't got much money to get into. yeah. >> well now, well, now if you're working class writer, there is. no, you're not getting in. although so i would say that there's been a few recently , i there's been a few recently, i don't know if you saw, is it daisy mae? daisy may cooper. they did. >> was it brothers with a brother, that was funny . that brother, that was funny. that was really good. it was sort of like a sort of office style fly on the wall thing on a council estate, wasn't it? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> there's a few things coming >> yeah. >>herere's a few things coming >> yeah. >>here anda few things coming >> yeah. >>here and there, hings coming >> yeah. >>here and there, but|s coming >> yeah. >>here and there, but i coming >> yeah. >>here and there, but i think, g

in here and there, but i think, as says, with as christopher says, not with the once had. >> well, i don't watch the bbc and much. and laugh much. >> no, you do, it's for the >> no, if you do, it's for the wrong . wrong reasons. >> joanne, what do you think about all of this? >> i think got such >> i think we've got such a changed culture terms of how changed culture in terms of how we television. all we watch the television. so all the that were the shows that we were reflecting shows reflecting on were shows that that of sat down and that you sort of sat down and watched with your whole family essentially, . and it was essentially, yes. and it was sort of, you know, water cooler moments of television, if you like. >> and also we to think, >> and also we used to think, you now because we're sort you know, now because we're sort of media, that of post—social media, that everybody watches their own thing, don't they, in those days, we used to get that niche, marketing 20 million viewers. we used to get now there thrilled tv company if it gets two. >> so this might be part of it might be that, you know, back then if there was a show like porridge on, everyone it, porridge on, everyone saw it, they talk the they would all talk about it the next it became like phenomenon. >> and it's called country. >> and it's called this country. that's what it was, yeah. and i thought that was really good. yes. and again, but it was
9:42 pm
written by and from and for a particular audience. well, maybe another thing that's happening is a lot of younger comedians are really using the internet to get their stuff out there, youtube and youtube. >> way don't need >> and in a way you don't need channel itv or all these channel 4, itv or all these other just can other channels. you just you can do . yeah. and tiktok do it yourself. yeah. and tiktok as is of comedy. i'm as well is full of comedy. i'm not tiktok , but i feel like not on tiktok, but i feel like i'm old it and i can't i'm too old for it and i can't dance. apparently it's all dance. but apparently it's all over i don't know over the place. i don't know what sketches. >> i mean, the idea of the sitcom as it's narrative sitcom as it's a narrative art form. it is quite form. yes. i mean, it is quite a challenge to it, isn't challenge to produce it, isn't it? know, doing it? yes, yes. you know, doing a piece camera on, on tiktok or piece to camera on, on tiktok or on youtube, it's a different thing. one person can by thing. one person can do that by themselves, that's themselves, and that's really liberating. a whole liberating. but it's a whole different thing. yes. >> storytelling , you >> but i think storytelling, you know, i'm a big champion of storytelling and storytelling needs time and it needs space and i think that's what the bbc. yeah, and character development , yeah, and character development, and that's what they're not doing. they're not allowing stories breathe . i mean, stories to breathe. i mean, blackadder in its first series was complete flop. yes, but was a complete flop. yes, but they gave it some time. that's an interesting point as well.
9:43 pm
>> just giving things a chance. >> just giving things a chance. >> yeah, giving a chance. >> yeah, giving a chance. >> to flourish little >> a chance to flourish a little bit. you prefer bit. christopher, did you prefer acting or do you do acting in comedy or do you do you doing the drama as much? >> well, i mean, i love doing it. i've done it. i mean, i've done some wonderful like wonderful drama. things like poldark playing the sex crazed vicar, playing vicar, which i adored, playing nero in i, claudius. i mean, all that's wonderful, but comedy is marvellous because you get that wonderful reaction of people laughing what was laughing and, you know what was interesting in the situation? comedy, was a six, six day comedy, it was a six, six day thing. you to go in on the thing. you used to go in on the tuesday. you would then go in on every day tuesday, wednesday, thursday, friday and saturday. you'd have a rehearsal with all the technicians and sunday you'd go into the studio and you'd record it in front of a live audience. yes. now, i don't think that happens anymore. not very much. >> i mean, there's a few shows that still stick the that still stick with the live audience, people it's audience, but if people say it's quite dated, actually quite dated, i actually love that thing, that the live audience thing, because it feels like you're part watching. part of it when you're watching. >> absolutely. in america, you know, for one know, they'll do for one episode, they'll do or know, they'll do for one e|recordingsy'll do or know, they'll do for one e|recordings with do or know, they'll do for one e|recordings with a do or know, they'll do for one e|recordings with a live do or 5 recordings with a live audience to see which is the
9:44 pm
best and take the best bits out. i mean, it used to in mrs. brown's boys, didn't they? >> there was very it was >> but but there was very it was very snobby around that. yes. that, , the, the middle that, you know, the, the middle class hated mrs. brown's boys, but actually the live shows, people used to love going well also with mrs. brown's boys, they're deliberately harking back style of sitcom, back to that style of sitcom, you know, where you have the live . live audience there. >> but it is it is more exhilarating, i think, from an audience isn't it, audience perspective, isn't it, when the laughter, when you've got the laughter, when you've got the laughter, when you're part when you've got the laughter, wisomething you're part when you've got the laughter, wisomething that's/ou're part when you've got the laughter, wisomething that's going part when you've got the laughter, wisomething that's going on? of something that's going on? >> i've not ever been a >> yeah. i've not ever been to a recording sitcom, recording of a sitcom, though. a live recording , i suppose. live recording, i suppose. not going would be the going out would probably be the yeah, another one. yeah, that would be another one. that the current one that would be the current one that's still successful. and they occasionally do do a live performance. >> they do, i think special . >> they do, i think special. >> they do, i think special. >> i think people misunderstand how in how difficult comedy is. in particular, because with comedy, as you say, you're eliciting a response. if do response. you know, if you do a drama and one's responding, drama and no one's responding, it's plug on. but it's okay. you can plug on. but if aren't laughing, then if people aren't laughing, then it's well, it it's a death. well, they call it a death. it's a death. well, they call it a d also it's a death. well, they call it a dalso , it's terrifying to do a >> also, it's terrifying to do a show, a 30 minute show in a
9:45 pm
week. yes. you know, i mean, i mean, ronnie barker was wonderful because he would purposely dry at the beginning of the show to order relax of the show in to order relax everybody, because everybody was so tense . so tense. >> you know, that was one of his techniques. >> that was one of his techniques. and it was brilliant because we did because because we did relax, because the show made the star of the show had made a faux pas, you know, and didn't get right. it was get his lines right. it was brilliant . brilliant. >> really great thing. >> that's a really great thing. i that. yeah. i didn't know about that. yeah. okay. , our okay. well, coming up, our politicians religion politicians using religion for political going to political gain, we're going to be speaking to the reverend michael coren, who is accused them doing just that. this is them of doing just that. this is mark news mark dolan tonight on gb news with
9:46 pm
9:47 pm
9:48 pm
. andrew doyle. this is mark dolan. tonight on gb news with me . andrew doyle gb news with me. andrew doyle coming up. is the bbc suppressing the truth about gender affirming care? mislabelling men as women and
9:49 pm
failing to safeguard children. but first, it's easter weekend, a christian holiday celebrated widely across the uk . yet one widely across the uk. yet one priest thinks that some politicians effectively use religion for political gain. and we have him here himself. it's the reverend michael coren. he's joining me now. thanks so much for joining me tonight. now, forjoining me tonight. now, you've said that right wing christian mps are growing, but you said that their beliefs are confusing. can you elaborate on what you mean by that ? what you mean by that? >> well, their numbers are growing. i saw the headline, which i thought was rather odd. it implied that they were getting mean getting fatter. i didn't mean that. their numbers are that. i think their numbers are growing, way more an growing, look, it's way more an american problem than a british one in the united states. donald trump quite obviously, is parading around , and parading religion around, and very few people who take their religion seriously. well, no, let me rephrase that. very few people have really thought hard about their religion so that donald trump is a believing christian, but he does play that game the time. but in the
9:50 pm
game all the time. but in the uk, yes, there are a number of mps and they are conservative. i mean, i don't see it in the labour party or the lib dems really, who seem inspired really, who seem to be inspired by conservative christianity, christian nationalism, if you like, which is new in britain. i mean, i don't remember this happening past, tony happening in the past, tony blair waited become a roman blair waited to become a roman catholic office, catholic until he left office, andifs catholic until he left office, and it's very rare for politicians to talk about their faith. i don't recall david cameron doing going cameron doing so. even going back to earlier leaders, but i think it's a growing phenomenon and it comes from the us and it's being replicated in britain. >> mean, wonderabout britain. >> mean, wonder about that >> i mean, i wonder about that because when because you might recall when tim open about tim farron was very open about his beliefs his his religious beliefs, his christian views his religious beliefs, his ch|homosexuality views his religious beliefs, his ch|homosexuality as views his religious beliefs, his ch|homosexuality as a views his religious beliefs, his ch|homosexuality as a kind ws his religious beliefs, his ch|homosexuality as a kind of on homosexuality as a kind of sinful method of behaviour. do you think so? but he got pilloried for that, didn't he? so maybe it's something about the british electorate we don't like, people of faith or people who are too overt about their faith in charge . is that because faith in charge. is that because we this strict separation we want this strict separation of and state? of church and state? >> well, it's a good question. it's ironic, isn't it, because
9:51 pm
actually britain doesn't have a separation of church and state. the does officially, although the us does officially, although in states, if you if in the united states, if you if a presidential candidate said they were an atheist, i don't think they could ever be elected president. but britain there president. but in britain there is no separation. but you're right that tim farron was it. kate forbes in the snp i kate forbes in the snp and i don't think they treated don't think they were treated very well. now, if their views are, if they are opposed to equal marriage and blessing, same sex couples stand by them. the problem with farron and forbes is that they they weren't sure what to say in public. i think if they would have been bolder, they would have actually done but there done better. but yeah, there can be and some politicians have written about actually. written about this actually. michael gove, one in particular, they've are they've said that christians are treated unfairly in the public square, and that's probably true as . i mean, you know as as well. i mean, you know as well as i do that most other religions, an mp said or if a religions, if an mp said or if a politician said i'm, i'm muslim, i'm or i'm hindu, people i'm jewish or i'm hindu, people would nervous criticising. would be nervous of criticising. but you say you're christian, but if you say you're christian, it does seem to that you will it does seem to be that you will automatically be criticised,
9:52 pm
particularly on certain issues. not faith in not so much your faith in christ, but your political views on, on, women's reproductive rights, equal marriage, things like that . because you're like that. because you're a christian, where do you stand on those? so it's not a level playing field. >> so what about when it comes playing field. >>america? about when it comes playing field. >>america? ibout when it comes playing field. >>america? i mean'hen it comes playing field. >>america? i mean ,en it comes playing field. >>america? i mean , as it comes playing field. >>america? i mean , as you»mes playing field. >>america? i mean , as you say, to america? i mean, as you say, it's very unlikely that anyone who himself to be an who proclaims himself to be an atheist, for instance, would ever be elected to the white house but do you think, therefore, this encourages house but do you think, tikindre, this encourages house but do you think, tikind of this encourages house but do you think, tikind of inauthenticity urages house but do you think, tikind of inauthenticity ,rages house but do you think, tikind of inauthenticity , that; a kind of inauthenticity, that candidates are therefore proclaiming their love for proclaiming their their love for jesus christ when they really don't mean it at all? >> yeah, i do, look, without being, party political , donald being, party political, donald trump was very much indifferent to most of these social issues before he ran for office, he's a man of a very checkered past, and, i find it difficult to believe. i'm not here to judge , believe. i'm not here to judge, but i find it difficult to believe that donald trump is a believing christian. barack obama, on other hand, who obama, on the other hand, who was the christian was criticised by the christian
9:53 pm
right, a very and was criticised by the christian rigat, a very and was criticised by the christian riga very a very and was criticised by the christian riga very devout a very and was criticised by the christian riga very devout believer, and is a very devout believer, i think that , i wouldn't say the think that, i wouldn't say the same for all democrats, but that was certainly the case with him. but trump, he but with trump, he is so politicised. christianity now, there are conservative christians who i don't christians who who say, i don't believe trump is a christian, but he enables christians to flourish . they compare him to flourish. they compare him to leaders of the like leaders of the past like constantine in rome and so on, you know, he he's he's changed the supreme court. he's made it better for christians, even though he might not be one himself. but voters the himself. but many voters in the us. i can assure you, are convinced that donald trump is a devout christian, and it becomes ludicrous after a while because his personal behaviour, the way he treats others, the way he regards opponents , the way he regards opponents, the way he talks people, that's talks about people, that's not really christian, is it? really very christian, is it? >> well, can i ask you? i mean, is it even really possible to be the of a nation and a party the head of a nation and a party that is so invested in capitalism when the teaching of jesus about rich jesus is quite clear about rich men and their likelihood of them entering the kingdom heaven, entering the kingdom of heaven, doesn't quite unambiguously doesn't he quite unambiguously say, give your doesn't he quite unambiguously say, away give your
9:54 pm

>> welcome to mark dolan tonight with me, andrew doyle. tonight we're going to be talking about whether donald trump has overstepped the mark by posting an image of joe biden on social media. i'm going to be getting a reaction from a top us political commentator who really not commentator who really is not very donald trump. very happy with donald trump. and plus tomorrow's newspapers, front and live reaction in front pages and live reaction in the studio from tonight's top punst the studio from tonight's top pundits and the pundits we have here tonight are anarchist lisa mckenzie , comedy legend mckenzie, comedy legend christopher biggins and political commentator jo—anne nadler. welcome all to the show . nadler. welcome all to the show. they're going to be nominating their headline heroes and back page . there's going to be page zeros. there's going to be a packed hour and those papers are . but first, the bbc's are coming. but first, the bbc's main purpose is to pursue the truth with no agenda , according truth with no agenda, according to the director, tim davie. he says that disinformation undermines trust in our institutions, which is true. however our journalist michael shellenberger has reported that according to both current and former bbc journalists, the bbc
10:05 pm
itself is spreading disinformation, failing to pursue the truth without regard to any agenda, and behaving fearfully and unfairly on issues relating to transgenderism. so is the bbc suppressing the truth about gender affirming care? mislabelling men as women and failing to safeguard children? well, i want to talk to the punst well, i want to talk to the pundits about this because now, recently there was a big medical scandal. this scandal. the w path files. this was world professional was the world professional association for transgender health. these files were leaked from body , which is from within this body, which is the leading authority in the world affirming care. world on gender affirming care. it was discovered that even the experts, the clinicians who are doing this, are fully aware that the children that who are in their care cannot possibly consent to the treatment that they're undertaking. this has influence on all major influence on the nhs. all major medical institutions around the world. that was over a month ago.the world. that was over a month ago. the bbc has not mentioned it at the bbc news has not it at all. the bbc news has not gone near it, the bbc as we know, lisa has been, reporting on criminals, sex criminals. yes. as she, when they are in
10:06 pm
fact biologically male in some articles, not even referring to the trans identity of the criminal. this is misleading. so why is it is there is it the case that the bbc on this issue, are just hopelessly, captured ? are just hopelessly, captured? >> i don't think i don't think they captured. i think probably like a lot of institutions , they like a lot of institutions, they don't know what to do. right. i think they because it's very messy. i read a the article a few, a few weeks ago, the man who had killed a cat and then went on to kill a student in in oxford. yeah. and i read the article and i was really reading it carefully, and there was sort of she, she and then sort of halfway down, it was transgender. she and it was it was a very messy article . and was a very messy article. and i've read quite a few articles that come from the bbc, and they're very messy. >> but there was an article in december year about
10:07 pm
december of last year about a man who had encouraged someone else to behave in a sexually predatory way towards a child , a predatory way towards a child, a four year old child. and this person went through court and all rest of it. the article person went through court and allthe rest of it. the article person went through court and allthe bbc of it. the article person went through court and allthe bbc website,e article person went through court and allthe bbc website, joanne, not on the bbc website, joanne, not once this was once mentioned that this was a trans identifying individual use the throughout , so if the word she throughout, so if you read it without knowing that, well, that just that, well, isn't that just really shoddy journalism? >> it's very shoddy journalism. and i should say, i think it's an absolute disgrace that the bbc hasn't covered the w path story . the bbc is a publicly story. the bbc is a publicly funded institution . the bbc has funded institution. the bbc has a particular responsibility to tell the truth, a responsibility that's essential to the bbc as being a unique institution in this country and pretty much unique across the world, quite frankly. so it has failed. it's failed its public, it's failed its audience, it's failed the licence payers and it's failed. those journalists who work within the bbc who probably feel
10:08 pm
many of whom may feel very strongly about this, i do slightly disagree with lisa. i think there's a lot of evidence that been captured that the bbc has been captured by ideologues. by gender ideologues. it's a very i worked for the bbc for ten years. yes, it's a very, very big organisation and it's also fairly devolved. so the very fact that there hasn't been any emphasis on w path across any emphasis on w path across any of the sort of devolved areas of the bbc, you know, newsnight is different to , you newsnight is different to, you know, various other programmes on, on, on, on the television. you've got regional programmes for news, you've got radio, all of whom will have their own editors , but no one's mentioned editors, but no one's mentioned it. and what i'm saying, no one's mentioned it. >> no. is that because i know that there's an lgbt+ group within the bbc? do they get the power certain stories? i power to veto certain stories? i mean, what have be honest, mean, what i have to be honest, i the bbc three times i did email the bbc three times to ask why they haven't covered this i this specifically because i wanted gb wanted to cover this on on gb news they've ignored my news and they've just ignored my messages , so i'm just messages, so i'm just interested. christopher, do you think obviously the bbc
10:09 pm
think i mean, obviously the bbc strives politically strives to be politically impartial. think they impartial. i actually think they do job when it do a pretty good job when it comes party politics. you comes to party politics. you know, versus know, labour versus conservative. i think that's a hard to and i think hard line to tread, and i think they i think when it they do. but i think when it comes idea comes to ideology, the idea of gender ideology, gender identity ideology, for instance , they really have instance, they really have messed this up. >> they really have. and you're absolutely right. i mean, politically, they get they do cover things , which is great. cover things, which is great. now, i'm the oldest person on this and i never, ever we this panel and i never, ever we neven this panel and i never, ever we never, ever had anything like this years and years ago. i mean , it was never even mentioned. i mean, and we knew there were certain people who were a little odd in salisbury where i was brought up, who, you know, but we didn't know quite what. but it was a minority. now, this whole business of his. her who, them. what is , i think, them. what is, i think, ridiculous. and it's i just think it's not right. >> well, perhaps, you know, there's a case. you know, i've known people who identify as the opposite sex for many, many years. you in those years. and, you know, in those circumstances personal circumstances, in personal circles, you might use the
10:10 pm
pronouns to pronouns that they prefer to use. but we're talking about sex criminals, paedophiles . criminals, rapists, paedophiles. yeah. being reported on on the news and the bbc can't bring themselves to correctly identify themselves to correctly identify the sex of the perpetrator . the sex of the perpetrator. that's a that's a different thing. >> and also it's confusing. it is , as you said earlier, is, as you said earlier, confusing, hugely confusing. so someone is referred to as him andifs someone is referred to as him and it's her. her or whatever. >> they tend to do it more with trans identifying women don't they. that's that's where it really sort of starts to be stark. yes. and i being around sort of political circles for a long time, i do think that in all political circles, this is an issue that people are not don't feel safe around because they don't know what to say. they don't want to. no one wants to really, you know, no one wants to upset people and offend them, you know, and upsetting. no. but paedophile? no. but you know, do you know what i mean? in everyday life, don't in your everyday life, you don't go life of go out in life to sort of
10:11 pm
misgender someone or whatever. so , are so people are i think, are careful this. and i think so people are i think, are caref|of this. and i think so people are i think, are caref|of the this. and i think so people are i think, are caref|of the institutionsi i think so people are i think, are caref|of the institutions ii think so people are i think, are caref|of the institutions i work< a lot of the institutions i work at university again , i think at university again, i think that it at university again, i think thatitis at university again, i think that it is i think they finding it very difficult and complicated. i get emails all the time saying, please put your pronouns in your email address because it will help. and i'm thinking , because it will help. and i'm thinking, well, it because it will help. and i'm thinking , well, it doesn't help thinking, well, it doesn't help really, and hardly anyone does it. who is helping you? >> i think that's the problem with that. just to come on that point , joanna, when you are point, joanna, when you are asked your pronouns , asked to declare your pronouns, put it on an email. aren't you effectively being asked to declare fealty to a belief system, exactly what you're being and which is being asked to do and which is why that the bbc has being asked to do and which is wlot that the bbc has being asked to do and which is wlot of that the bbc has being asked to do and which is wlot of questionsit the bbc has being asked to do and which is wlot of questions to he bbc has being asked to do and which is wlot of questions to answer has being asked to do and which is wlot of questions to answer on; a lot of questions to answer on this, because , as i say, they this, because, as i say, they haven't covered this huge story by any standards. >> it's a huge story, and it's a story that you would imagine would actually be pertinent to a lot of the people the bbc wants to attract, i.e younger people,
10:12 pm
and i think that the way in which you're hearing some of these stories covered on the bbc, and i can think of several times that i've listened, i listened to radio lot. listened to radio four a lot. i'm just i'm certainly not somebody just because i very supportive of gb news doesn't listen to news that doesn't also listen to the it's important the bbc. i think it's important to news from a variety the bbc. i think it's important to different news from a variety the bbc. i think it's important to different sources)m a variety the bbc. i think it's important to different sources ,n a variety the bbc. i think it's important to different sources , and lariety the bbc. i think it's important to different sources , and you ty of different sources, and you can hear specific programmes on radio four, where they'll go through a whole sort of 15 minute news chunk. there was one programme can think of six programme i can think of six months ago, where they it was a very tragic story about a young person who'd committed suicide and it wasn't really mentioned until pretty much the very end of the way the story was covered, that this had been , a covered, that this had been, a child who had been , you know, child who had been, you know, very confused about their gender and had chosen to reassign their genden and had chosen to reassign their gender, and the family believed that they hadn't had the right sort of care, and the bbc just didn't question at all any of the other things that may have led to that child's suicide . led to that child's suicide. now, it was tragic story, but
10:13 pm
now, it was a tragic story, but it covered as a it wasn't covered as a journalist should cover the story. >> so. so maybe it's to do with what lisa says about people want to they want to be to be kind. they want to be compassionate . on the other compassionate. on the other hand, it also about hand, is it also maybe about intimidation? you know, we've seen that these seen the way that these activists behave. they send death rowling rape death threats to jk rowling rape threats. no one wants to be at the centre of that kind of attention. is it just maybe attention. so is it just maybe that are the bbc are that people are at the bbc are just a bit scared? christopher. well, i think a foot wrong. >> they probably are >> i think they probably are scared because and i think a lot of are scared. you know, scared because and i think a lot of what re scared. you know, scared because and i think a lot of what puttingd. you know, scared because and i think a lot of what putting a, you know, scared because and i think a lot of what putting a, you know, getting. that's why you to have >> that's why you have to have strong leadership isn't it. that's to have the that's why you have to have the editors at the bbc setting a standard. >> that is the problem. and i don't they do. don't think they do. >> well, we saw tim davie speaking other week, saying >> well, we saw tim davie speofing other week, saying >> well, we saw tim davie speofing culture r week, saying >> well, we saw tim davie spe ofing culture r we stuff aying >> well, we saw tim davie speofing culture r we stuff is ng all of this culture war stuff is just the trans just blown up, all the trans issue. real issue . it issue. it's not a real issue. it issue. it's not a real issue. it is an issue for women who are worried single—sex worried about their single—sex spaces. issue spaces. it's certainly an issue for people who for detransitioners people who are encouraged when they were young irreversible are encouraged when they were young and irreversible are encouraged when they were young and now rreversible are encouraged when they were young and now regretting surgery and are now regretting it, and they've got complete loss of sexual function. i mean, you know, it is very, very serious. >> do you what? so i live
10:14 pm
>> do you know what? so i live in nottingham. i don't live in london. so when you get outside of london, when you're outside of london, when you're outside of the institution , so ordinary of the institution, so ordinary everyday people that don't, they're not told by any of their bosses, they've got to do any of this stuff or even think about it minute this and it the minute this stuff and it's culture stuff it's all the culture war stuff gets general gets into the general population, a very population, you hear a very different idea. so yesterday i was with my family and they were just saying, i can't believe that all this is happening. what is this now? i've known it is this now? i've known about it for because i've for a long time because i've been part of political circles and they're like, know, men and they're like, you know, men can't . they can't play rugby and they're like, you know, men can'twomen. :an't play rugby and they're like, you know, men can'twomen. that's ay rugby and they're like, you know, men can'twomen. that's wrong.yy and they're like, you know, men can'twomen. that's wrong. and so with women. that's wrong. and so there's this, you know, once you get of these institutions , get out of these institutions, there is a very different take on all of this. and i think and i think the bbc are just one of those institutions, but i've never met anyone who thinks it's a good idea for someone who went through male puberty to play rugby. >> no. against women. >> no. against women. >> i don't know who these are. >> i don't know who these are. >> no , but but but why is it >> no, but but but why is it that thinks that's
10:15 pm
that the bbc thinks that's that's idea . that's a great idea. >> think make them up. >> i think they make them up. well, actually happened well, but it's actually happened . yes. and you see there are people standing people like leah thomas standing on they were talking about >> they were talking about a swimming medal and towering swimming medal and he's towering over the women. >> the thing is, i was >> and the thing is, i was talking family about that. talking to my family about that. i was my sister and her i was with my sister and her husband night they were husband last night and they were like heard of like, lisa, have you heard of this thomas? i was this leah thomas? and i was like, course i have. like, well, of course i have. i've a long about i've known a long time about this, they just heard about it. >> yeah, we won't cover things like the w path files that prevents people from learning about it's about this kind of stuff. it's very true. >> it's partly why people >> and it's partly why people are alternative are looking to alternative sources of media. yeah >> and that's where they found it. they found it on gender. >> it's on a host >> i mean, it's on a whole host of where can sort of of it is where you can sort of imagine in advance what the bbc line on climate change line might be on climate change on the middle east, on a number of , as you on the middle east, on a number of, as you said, cultural issues. >> well, they have had some failings when it comes to reporting on the moral maze, the huge failings , the moral maze huge failings, the moral maze used to do some of this, which i was on the moral maze a few weeks ago, and we'll talk about
10:16 pm
immigration. >> and it wasn't a robot because i to them , i want a robust i said to them, i want a robust debate about this, and it just wasn't there. >> i think that's why places like gb news are being so successful . well, because it successful. well, because it everybody meet from all everybody i meet from all different like all say to me, we love it and they want an alternative to the bbc. >> yes , i think that's happened >> yes, i think that's happened a lot. and i think there are a lot of people who are even on the left who are saying, you know, not having these know, we're not having these conversations know, we're not having these conversat reason, most vocal for some reason, the most vocal cheerleaders left are cheerleaders of the left are buying into the idea that men should and should play women's rugby and things that . i don't want things like that. i don't want to blame you, lisa, but is it a is there a problem with the left where this wrong? i mean, i've never seen >> i mean, i've never seen myself as part of the left. i'm an yes. so the an anarchist. yes. so the authoritarian left has always been distasteful been very distasteful for me. yes and i don't think that these are even left people. i think it's more liberal. yes. i think they're more sort of interesting . i think they're more liberals. because if they were left, surely they'd know that hamas is
10:17 pm
a fascist organisation. yes. because so but you know , surely because so but you know, surely they would know this stuff. yeah. so i don't know if, but even the fact that the bbc can't bnng even the fact that the bbc can't bring themselves to call hamas terrorists , even even terrorists, even though even though the government has officially proscribed them as such. >> that tells you a lot, doesn't it? about there. it? i think about there. >> you know, an >> i think, you know, it's an institution a institution in which there is a predominant . it predominant groupthink. it doesn't affect absolutely everybody, but is affecting everybody, but it is affecting programmes on on the front line, as it were, and it is coming through to audiences. and when you're using language that , you're using language that, that, that, that that effectively contorts the truth. yes. >> that's the worry, isn't it? >> that's the worry, isn't it? >> that's the worry, isn't it? >> that's disguising what you're actually trying to say then then you are effectively doing the job of the activists for them. >> okay, well, the bbc did say in a statement the bbc is committed reporting all committed to reporting all stories impartially in accordance publicly accordance with its publicly available editorial guidelines. well, if anyone is watching, please get back to my emails please do get back to my emails bbc and let us know why you haven't reported on the w path files. that'd be great. coming

10:27 pm
10:28 pm
10:29 pm
andrew doyle. it's 10:30 pm, andrew doyle. it's10:30 p.m, so it's time to have a look at tomorrow's front pages.
10:30 pm
have a look at tomorrow's front pages . and so the express pages. and so the express is leading with new wonder. jab will prevent dementia . and this will prevent dementia. and this is to do with alzheimer's. they've developed. apparently a game changing vaccine. then we move on to the front cover of the observer. they are leading with uk. given legal advice that israel is flouting law in gaza , israel is flouting law in gaza, and the british government has been given advice from lawyers that has breached that israel has breached international humanitarian law that israel has breached intgazaional humanitarian law that israel has breached intgazaionafailedanitarian law that israel has breached intgazaionafailedanitarian itw in gaza but failed to make it public, according to a leaked recording, which has been obtained by the observer. the sunday telegraph is leading with laboun sunday telegraph is leading with labour. net zero plan puts uk at china's mercy, they say. starmer's 2030 clean power target leaves us dangerously reliant on beijing. that's to according one minister. the mail on sunday is running with rain as tax hypocrisy over jibe at pm's wife . apparently, rayner's pm's wife. apparently, rayner's taunts at mrs. sunak returned to haunt her as ex commons watchdog demands a police probe. very
10:31 pm
dramatic and moving on there to the front cover of the mirror, they are leading with. i'm blown away by my mate kate bitter rhyming there. that's giovanna fletcher has spoken of her admiration for the princess of wales and then the daily star for another bizarre headline from the daily star. anyone know a good, reliable, reasonably pnced a good, reliable, reasonably priced in the local priced exorcist in the local area? okay, well, maybe we'll delve into that in a while. or maybe not. those were your front pages. now we're going to get the reaction to those front pages our wonderful pages shortly from our wonderful top pundit panel. but first, it's now for some us news. it's time now for some us news. now there is another scandal brewing across the pond after donald trump on friday posted a video that featured an image of president joe biden tied up in the back of a pickup truck. the biden campaign team accused mr trump of regularly inciting political violence ahead of november's election. so look, let's get some reaction there from american democratic
10:32 pm
strategist and political commentator robert wiener. robert, thanks ever so much for joining us there. now, this is the kind of thing that donald trump typically does. you know, he's shock . do you he's trying to shock. do you think bit of an think it's a bit of an overreaction say that this overreaction to say that this is explicitly incitement violence? >> course, it is. and andrew, >> of course, it is. and andrew, good to be with you again. hello, it's unbelievable. if any other american had said, here's a picture and look at the look at the video of biden tied up, hog tied in the back of a pickup truck , or if any other american truck, or if any other american had there'll bloodbath had said there'll be a bloodbath if i lose the secret service, the us marshals and the attorney general's representative would be at his door , at that person's be at his door, at that person's door asking, what do you mean? and they did their jobs, then and if they did their jobs, then it could be an incentive for trump to shut the heck up about these violence incentives. >> to be fair, you >> but robert, to be fair, you must know that when used the must know that when he used the phrase he using phrase bloodbath, he was using a metaphor talking the car metaphor talking about the car industry. actually industry. he wasn't actually saying there would be some kind of bloody if he
10:33 pm
of bloody revolution if he wasn't and you do know of bloody revolution if he wasrbecause and you do know of bloody revolution if he wasrbecause you'lli you do know of bloody revolution if he wasrbecause you'll have do know of bloody revolution if he wasrbecause you'll have seeniow that because you'll have seen the , he used the terms the context, he used the terms bloodbath knows what he's bloodbath and he knows what he's doing when he does it. so this is the guy who brought you january sixth and the bashing in of capitol, i'm just saying of the capitol, i'm just saying that any other american who did this , any other american. and by this, any other american. and by the way, 300 of them have been convicted, are in jail, by the way. now, any other american who did secret service and way. now, any other american who did us secret service and way. now, any other american who did us marshals'et service and way. now, any other american who did us marshals and arvice and way. now, any other american who did us marshals and the :e and way. now, any other american who did us marshals and the attorney the us marshals and the attorney generals would be at his door asking what did you mean by bloodbath? but is what you mean by putting a picture out of biden in a truck? biden hogtied in a truck? >> not going >> well, you're not going to get any defence from donald any defence from me for donald trump that picture, trump putting out that picture, i too much. but i do think it's too much. but i also think that politics often has robust metaphors, often relating to militarism. bloodbath is a metaphor that's been used by democrats as well as republicans , for, for as republicans, for, for decades. so, i mean, we do have to in some sense recognise that sometimes we shouldn't take these phrases literally, should we? even if they are coming from trump , this from the guy that
10:34 pm
trump, this from the guy that says, go hit them and i'll pay your legal fees. >> i mean, this guy means it when he says it. don't forget that, trump , when he says it. don't forget that, trump, and, and roger stone, who they really haven't done any kind of a good investigation because trump pardoned him , incited with in pardoned him, incited with in coordination the coordination with the oath keepers and, and the other groups. so this is a guy who wants to create, as much chaos and havoc and violence as he can because it goes to his advantage. i'm just saying, when you get on your headline hog tied, biden , that would be a tied, biden, that would be a reason for the secret service and the us marshals. they're talking about the president of the united states, by the way . the united states, by the way. that's that he's applying that's a term that he's applying to doing that to biden. when you're doing that , you need the fbi at your door. >> so you actually think that that no one can make, say, a joke use phrases that's a bit joke or use phrases that's a bit colourful, hogtied, biden, that kind thing without getting kind of thing without getting the police involved? i mean, isn't that a bit of an isn't isn't that a bit of an infringement on your on your first amendment? infringement on your on your first wouldiment? infringement on your on your
10:35 pm
first would have ? infringement on your on your first would have the us marshals >> i would have the us marshals who, if any other americans said that they would be at his door, would they? >> mean, not so sure about >> i mean, i'm not so sure about that. i mean, i've some that. i mean, i've heard some pretty from pretty colourful stuff from politicians, not just politicians, not just politicians , but people every politicians, but people every day. quite a day. i think it's quite a stretch, to take that stretch, maybe to take that image and say, this is literal image and say, this is a literal call someone to hog tie call for someone to hog tie biden and put him in the car. isn't that isn't that taking things just a bit too literally ? things just a bit too literally? >> no, not in trump's case. this is the guy who brought is this is the guy who brought you january 6th. >> well, i don't know what you mean by that. quite. because when it comes to january the 6th, it is not as though he while he didn't organise while but he didn't organise that you that and orchestrate that, you know, , i don't think know, i mean, i don't think there's any legal expert in america would suggest that america who would suggest that his words on day fulfil the his words on that day fulfil the brandenburg incitement brandenburg test to incitement to violence. >> roger stone was in the hotel next door. roger stone talked to trump about every day and kept him briefed. they have not investigated that since trump pardoned him, and roger stone has been known for doing that kind of thing. >> do you think, robert, that
10:36 pm
sometimes when there are these attacks on whether attacks on on trump, whether they're or not, it they're justified or not, it kind of plays into his hands a little bit and that maybe as a provocateur, which i'm sure he is, putting this out here is, he's putting this out here precisely to get the kind of reaction that he now reaction that he is now currently . currently getting. >> well, he loves being in the press, good or bad, but his polls have been dropping since he lost those financial court cases in new york. and the jean carroll case that the two of them, and with the more information that comes out and the evidence and all of that of what he has done, in the fake electors and, and in the filegate and all of that, as more of that comes out, he's losing independents and republicans . you know, that the republicans. you know, that the polls have moved. i said to jim clyburn, i sat there and watched the union in the the state of the union in the national headquarters national democratic headquarters and the leadership came and went, place , went, to and from that place, right before and after the speech, i said to him, because of that state of the union, biden's 5 to 6 points. of that state of the union, bideclyburn 5 to 6 points. of that state of the union, bideclyburn said to 6 points. of that state of the union, bideclyburn said to me,oints.
10:37 pm
of that state of the union, bideclyburn said to me, that's and clyburn said to me, that's exactly right. so, i mean, that's happened. that's that is what happened. the what biden showed there, the polls are now 45, 45. biden up by one in the three kings, swing states and, and he's he's no longer way behind in the in the presidential race. and that's going to be more and more as we move toward the election. do you think, that sometimes, think, though, that sometimes, i mean, examples as mean, we've seen examples of, as you states trying you know, certain states trying to the and to take trump off the ballot and that hasn't been successful. >> and we saw the supreme court ruled unanimously that they couldn't do that, that that was unconstitutional, whenever unconstitutional, that whenever they do that, it plays into trump's narrative that there is a kind of deep state who are out to get him that effectively. there's all this conspiracy and corruption to try and undemocratically scupper his chances. undemocratically scupper his chances . do you worry that chances. do you worry that sometimes when they pursue these actions , they must know that it actions, they must know that it eventually it will play into his hands? it will confirm the narrative been promoting , narrative he's been promoting, it doesn't play into his hands because it more and more points
10:38 pm
to the things that trump has done , and the more and more that done, and the more and more that keeps coming out. as the january 6th hearings did, he lost ten points. told pelosi he lost points. i told pelosi he lost big time during the january 6th hearings, and the more that the truth comes out and that's what we're after, is the truth, the truth, the truth. what about truth, the truth. but what about this? , republicans this? that trump, republicans and independents? this? that trump, republicans and indepencabout specific >> but what about this specific case colorado trying to take case of colorado trying to take him off the ballot? because wasn't clear wasn't it always clear that there's way the supreme there's no way the supreme court is allow to is going to allow that to happen? that's a happen? and that's not just a supreme republicans. of supreme court of republicans. of course. like course. that's also people like ketanji is ketanji brown jackson, who is voting is voting and saying this is absolutely . absolutely unacceptable. >> well, the constitution was written and several states called for him to be off the ballot. and the fact that that was advocated by several states, i don't think that helps him. how can that possibly help when it says and by the way, the court didn't deny that he that he helped generate a riot and helped generate an insurrection. they just because of they just said because of process, not right. they process, it's not right. they came a process argument. process, it's not right. they carie a process argument. process, it's not right. they cari don't a process argument. process, it's not right. they cari don't think process argument. process, it's not right. they cari don't think thatess argument. process, it's not right. they cari don't think that that rgument. process, it's not right. they cari don't think that that helps nt. so i don't think that that helps him the slightest to have him in the slightest to have those there . and
10:39 pm
those arguments out there. and we've done some op eds on that. you've read the 14th you've got to read the 14th amendment. in amendment. if you assist in an insurrection, shall not be insurrection, you shall not be eligible for office. that's what it so what about this other >> so what about this other issue of trump selling bibles? i mean, this is just another gimmick. these are trump approved . i mean, i know approved bibles. i mean, i know that there are a lot of american christians that don't really feel donald trump is much feel that donald trump is much of a strong christian role model, but they're just going to vote for him because they think he's he's for their he's a he's better for their interests. you this is interests. do you think this is going on him? going to backfire on him? >> it's pathetic by my >> well, it's pathetic by my bible pay my porn stars lawyer. that's what it effectively means . and to tie the two of those together , when he's got all all together, when he's got all all this legal fees on this kind of stuff to have to pay, it's outrageous . i mean, he's he's outrageous. i mean, he's he's turned into a huckster. does america want to elect a huckster? i don't think so. >> i wonder whether he's just trying to be funny there. i mean, it does seem like it feels a he was selling a bit like when he was selling the his trump, a bit like when he was selling the trump his trump, a bit like when he was selling the trump sneakers, his trump, a bit like when he was selling the trump sneakers, you trump, a bit like when he was selling
10:40 pm
the trump sneakers, you would his trump sneakers, you would call them in america. and they're they're bright they're i mean, they're bright gold . i mean, they're gold leather. i mean, they're not very tasteful. it feels like he's having a joke. it feels like he's trolling. i mean, maybe i've got that wrong. what do you think? >> i think this is the guy who did the wines, the colleges, the business have all been business that have all been disbanded by the courts. everybody his everybody forgets that his foundation was shut down, his college shut he bribed college was shut down. he bribed the florida attorney general, 25. what was it, $25 million, i think. and then she dropped the case against him. so this is a guy who has everything shut down and he's got to pay. gee, dropped down to 175 million in fines. now, this is a guy who's just is slimy, a businessman, as there can be. and that's the impression that people now have. but isn't there a worry that a lot of people, and democrats included, are nervous about a second term with with biden? >> they're worried about his ability to maintain such a campaign and that maybe donald trump benefit simply by trump will benefit simply by virtue of that. >> that's the old news, andrew.
10:41 pm
that's the old news. the new news is biden , biden and every news is biden, biden and every speech, by the way, that he's ever to the clubs and ever done to the press clubs and to the state the union and to to the state of the union and to the everyone he wows the congress, everyone he wows them with energy and his them with his energy and his substance that he substance and the fact that he got the infrastructure bill passed and passed when trump had weeks and weeks weeks of this is going weeks and weeks of this is going to be infrastructure week and all that , the fact that he all of that, the fact that he got the budgets passed, and, got the student loan, he did an end run around the supreme court. that was pretty brilliant, by the that did the way, the way that he did these and the these end runs and got the student out to the kids, student loans out to the kids, $250 something student loans out to the kids, $25(that. something student loans out to the kids, $25(that. so something student loans out to the kids, $25(that. so it's something student loans out to the kids, $25(that. so it's amazing|ething student loans out to the kids, $25(that. so it's amazing whatg like that. so it's amazing what he has accomplished. and that word is finally getting out. and what's trump got to show for accomplishment. not building a wall, not getting mexico to pay for it, and he claims great economy. he's the only president since hoover since who lost jobs in his presidency. so it's and the economy is roaring and the world is benefiting from it. now, with biden jacking the programs and the money into into programs. so, i think biden's
10:42 pm
got a lot going on, and he's showing it every day . showing it every day. >> yeah, i think it's very clear, robert, where you stand on this issue. thank you so much for tonight. for joining me tonight. >> pleasure . >> a pleasure. >> a pleasure. >> we should just say that, donald trump would no doubt deny those allegations bribery those allegations of bribery that robert that were levelled by robert wiener . so that were levelled by robert wiener. so coming up, we're going to reaction to going to have reaction to tomorrow's newspaper front pages, the sunday times, also on its way. and, tonight's top pundits, they're going to be nominating their headline heroes and back page zeroes of the day . and back page zeroes of the day. this is mark dolan tonight on gb news with

10:46 pm
isn't it? judith says , i think isn't it? judith says, i think changing the clocks is ridiculous. why put them ridiculous. why not put them forward an hour and leave forward half an hour and leave it that? then evens out it at that? then it evens out the of light. yeah, that's the hours of light. yeah, that's a good that's a suggestion. a good that's a good suggestion. i joe says . i i like that one. joe says. i think introduced to give i like that one. joe says. i think a introduced to give i like that one. joe says. i think a longer, roduced to give i like that one. joe says. i think a longer, lighted to give i like that one. joe says. i think a longer, light eveninge farmers a longer, light evening to get the harvest in. maybe so. maybe so. well let's have a look, we've had a look at the papers earlier, but let's have a look at the front page of the sunday times, which has just come times is come in. and the times is leading fascinating come in. and the times is leadirwhich fascinating come in. and the times is leadirwhich pollinating come in. and the times is leadirwhich poll of |ting come in. and the times is leadirwhich poll of 15,000 story, which is a poll of 15,000 voters is showing bad for news the tories. the tories may be left with fewer than 100 mps, even the prime minister might lose his seat, according to this poll. this is pretty immense, isn't it? joanne, i'm going to come to you first on this i come to you first on this one. i mean , we've been saying for a mean, we've been saying for a while now that think pretty while now that we think pretty much a game over the much it's a game over for the tories this and it's tories at this point, and it's really starmer's to lose at this point. i think he's probably almost certainly going to win. isn't is just isn't he. but this poll is just confirming it. >> it's a pretty >> yeah i mean it's a pretty comprehensive poll. yeah. and i'm people in
10:47 pm
