6:14 pm
what don't know the what we don't know at the moment. be a tabloid moment. it can't be a tabloid thing the trouble now thing because the trouble now with did that. with tabloid is if you did that. yeah, problem would for yeah, the problem would be for the, the, the news the, for for the, the news outlet would not be for the person who fell for the for the sting. that's right. so. so it can't possibly be a journalist based, could it be, more likely russian based? >> well, that's the speculation then, that the speculation is that it might have been a russian, operative , it's russian, operative, it's a syrian. duncan smith has been talking about it. he says the attacks are the quote is straight out of the russian playbook . right. and he's urged playbook. right. and he's urged the authorities to increase security. now he calls it, an attack on democracy . is it an attack on democracy. is it an attack on democracy. is it an attack on democracy. is it an attack on democracy, or is it just mps being easily flattered? >> okay, okay. let me ask you this. were any women approached? no that's because as far as we know, that's because they're smarter than to than to recognise some bloke not with his kit off knowing that he's not a scam. right. because they're probably getting that
6:15 pm
morning, noon and night anyway. so, right . so what would the so, right. so what would the russians, i suppose, if they get one hit out of how many mps are there? six, 12 at the moment. yeah, but 635. correct. yeah. they put them out and if they get one hit that is a triumph as far as they're concerned. when you say they knew a, did they know a lot about the people or did they know a little about a little about the people, the kind of stuff you might be able to work out from maybe looking at someone's facebook profile or something and you've something like that and you've found name of found out the name of their partner, you've said, partner, and then you've said, oh, i hope kathy is well. >> i bumped last week >> i bumped into her last week right. it's very simple stuff. >> right? look, the >> right? well, look, the russians it's all russians themselves, it's all they've do, you know , they've got to do, you know, apart from to kill apart from trying to kill innocent in the ukraine, innocent people in the ukraine, isuppose innocent people in the ukraine, i suppose this is another idea within the putin playbook and all i would say is, surely if anybody sees anything like this, they know what it is. there's been publication, it came through politico. yeah, so if
6:16 pm
they see if they see publicity like this, then they know what to do. either they go to the cops or they just kill it. >> well, it came from two mobile phone numbers, the messages. so theyi phone numbers, the messages. so they i guess can to some degree, maybe they can they can be tracked. they will probably end up but burner up being nothing but burner phones, they? one phones, won't they? but one ex—mp said, just thought. ex—mp said, oh, i just thought. or staffer said , oh, i just or a staffer said, oh, i just thought it westminster thought it was westminster because weird because it's full of weird people. well, that's a bit of a damning indictment. i mean , i damning indictment. i mean, i can't i don't entirely disagree with them. >> well, i was at, at, nigel farage used to . yes. farage used to. yes. >> last night. no weird people in that room. kelvin, as was your newsreader. >> yes. polly. and there were some strange. there were some strange coves there, i can tell you that. >> but you've been around enough politicians to know that there aren't enough good quality politicians. why is that ? why politicians. why is that? why doesn't it attract a better calibre of person? >> okay, well, first of all, if you've got i think there are
6:17 pm
there are two significant reasons they're probably three actually. number you actually. number one, if you really something about you, really got something about you, you don't to earn , 90,000 you don't want to earn, 90,000 a yeah you don't want to earn, 90,000 a year. okay. now that sounds like quite a lot of money. yeah, it's money, but if you've got something about you, you can make 90,000 a year, with a couple of side hustles . right? couple of side hustles. right? and if you're really clever, you can probably make a lot more . can probably make a lot more. right? secondly. secondly, your life is laid bare, so any kind of kind of question mark about you, your personality, your relationship, expect to read it or see it somewhere, right? so why would you do that for 90,000 a year? thirdly and this will probably come as a shock to you to your viewers, they work hard. yeah. it is long hours and long days and. all right, yeah. it is long hours and long days and. all right , they go days and. all right, they go back to their home, wherever their home is, and they're walking down the street, and there'll be some idiot across
6:18 pm
there'll be some idiot across the road. so. yeah. you. yeah, i hate you. why did you vote like that? and or or actually, you get the other side. i just want to say thank you very much indeed. but you're never off duty and all your actions are on duty and all your actions are on duty and all your actions are on duty and can be reported. so why on earth ? why on earth? in this on earth? why on earth? in this world, especially with social media now , why on earth would media now, why on earth would you. would you give up all your give up your life to help people and change the world? >> kelvin , and to do good things >> kelvin, and to do good things for your country and be driven by a need to improve things for everybody. >> yes, there will be people like that, but i would suspect they're in the minority. >> you met many right? aaron bastani has hot footed it into the building, apparently, so he's going to be joining us any minute now. but still to come. junk food consumption is up by 50% lockdown. so now new 50% since lockdown. so now new clinics for overweight children are why are we eating are opening. why are we eating so much more fast food? how do we reset our relationship with

6:23 pm
your eyeballs put a 50% increase in the use of takeaways by calories 2019 today. calories from 2019 to today. there's sign that it's going there's no sign that it's going to reverse. and i think with covid, we got this intersection of the technology, which was there before uber eats, deliveroo, and then this moment, which really changed consumer habits, possibly forever . and i habits, possibly forever. and i can't lie, i never, ever, ever got takeaways before covid. but these apps have become so commonplace now, you might get a £10 off voucher through your email and you say to your other half, well, let's just have this. you know, it might even be moderately healthy for a takeaway. but even for takeaway. yeah. but even for somebody myself never somebody like myself who never used absolutely. used to get them, absolutely. it's radar more. and it's it's on our radar more. and it's not good. one of the list not good. it's one of the list of behavioural changes. >> like you say, think it >> and like you say, i think it will be forever. i can't see how we go kelvin to. we go back kelvin to. >> well, i think that i'm puzzled. right. so where i live, the postcodes can get mixed up. so therefore i don't have deliveroo. i am honestly looking at this face. i'm old. i
6:24 pm
actually go out and pick up the food myself. really? you've met somebody ? yes, thank you very somebody? yes, thank you very much. anyway, so the so the bottom line on this is i know a shocking example of this . this shocking example of this. this is based up in newcastle family , is based up in newcastle family, right down on their luck. got no money. they've got no work, nothing. right no, it's not rupert murdoch and the. and what do they do down the road from them? about 80, 80 yards away is a mcdonald's. them? about 80, 80 yards away is a mcdonald's . and they have a mcdonald's. and they have deliveroo's at brought in to them. okay. now i know this 101% right. i don't spend my time with this family. but i do know of this. yeah. and this is another aspect of the world we're in. and i wonder whether actually, if you looked at it as actually, if you looked at it as a class system and i know this is your this is one of your phd areas, right? if you look this is a class system. would you
6:25 pm
actually say that the people at the bottom of the pile are actually spending a bigger percentage of their income on takeaways and also potentially putting on huge weights in this in this piece about this, about these very fat kids. are you i'm not even sure you're allowed to say that, but very fat kids, you are here, right? the average. did you see the average weight? the weight was stone. the average weight was 19 stone. >> crazy yeah. >> yeah. crazy yeah. >> yeah. crazy yeah. >> honestly, that is a major health issue. no matter which part is in power, whether it's the communist or the or whatever. so i, i, i, i think i whatever. so i, i, i, i think i what can you do. why is it that parents aren't saying you're not having a triple burger with extra fries? >> that's the issue, isn't it? it's parents as well, aaron, isn't it? not saying to kids you can't have that. i sat and watched some family and easter weekend . and don't get me wrong, weekend. and don't get me wrong, i know it's difficult. i've got three teens. it's really hard to
6:26 pm
educate them on what they should and shouldn't eat. and actually by the time they're teenagers, it's late. you've got to it's too late. you've got to start. when they're babies, you've start when they're you've got to start when they're toddlers, just educating their palate. but i watched this family weekend and the family at easter weekend and the kids but kids were obviously full, but mum had bought ice creams and chocolate and was saying to them the kids wanted to run around, but she was saying, come and finish your ice cream, come and finish your ice cream, come and finish your ice cream, come and finish your chocolate, come and finish your chocolate, come and finish cream and sat finish your ice cream and i sat there and was thinking, they there and i was thinking, they obviously don't want it, but it's almost like some it's almost like for some families and it a socio families and maybe it is a socio economic of them economic thing. the fear of them being more than the being hungry is more than the fear of them being fat. and we have to change that. it's okay to one. to be hungry on one. >> all right. it is okay >> yeah. all right. it is okay to hungry. and the japanese to be hungry. and the japanese have a great word this where have a great word for this where you basically stop eating when you're full. older you're 80% full. for an older generation, mother in generation, like my mother in law, you law, she's maltese. you obviously the bombing of obviously have the bombing of malta. she raised an malta. she was raised an incredibly deprived circumstances . so she really circumstances. so she really takes, you know, your takes, you know, finish your plate. get that we've lived in plate. i get that we've lived in a, in a set of conditions
6:27 pm
a, in a in a set of conditions of food and material abundance. now for decades. yeah. we shouldn't doing that anymore. shouldn't be doing that anymore. also health, beverly, also on mental health, beverly, everybody listening . everybody watching or listening. we all know this. if you eat rubbish for several days, you will feel awful. yeah. and there are very real mental health problems in the world. i'm not pretending that they can be pretending that they can all be solved up earlier, or solved by getting up earlier, or exercise, eating well, but a exercise, or eating well, but a lot of could be. yeah. and lot of them could be. yeah. and i just say , of course, i would just say, of course, a lot of blame with the lot of blame is with the parents. is that though, the sort of takeaway because of course it's not the fault of the kids . so something has to be kids. so something has to be done. it's not simply a case. okay well that's a that's a good question because some kids are being down right. being kids are let down right. >> but something has be >> okay. but something has to be done. now normally what done. yeah. now normally what happens government turns happens now big government turns around we're going to around and says we're going to have increased sugar tax . have an increased sugar tax. we're going to have an extra tax, for instance, on on deliveries or whatever. yeah. you know so right, right. and then of course then you get the right saying, look that's you're interfering nanny people's

gone wrong. gone dramatically wrong. >> dramatically, dramatically. >> just little thing. >> it's not just a little thing. and then, you know, all the doctors are saying if you carry this amount of weight, it does . this amount of weight, it does. and also the food that you eat, if you if you read that, that item there actually is damaging you as well. so it's not only the weight which is a health problem for you actually , problem for you actually, there's a physical problem by there's a physical problem by the quality of the food you eat. so i would like to i'd like to hear from, from from your viewers actually from what would they the answer you try they say was the answer you try and feed cauliflower to, to a kid under under under 18. >> but it's interesting . is it >> but it's interesting. is it because we've we've seen the state, particularly in the last four years, be more muscular and involved in the minutia of our lives than we've ever seen before. and yet still before. and yet it does still seem when comes to this seem when it comes to this issue, they won't still get involved. like they mandated us that we could walk around the block once in lockdowns, you could only leave your house and go for . well, maybe they should go for. well, maybe they should mandate have to walk mandate that you have to walk around the block once every day.
6:30 pm
i want that. but do you i don't want that. but do you see what i mean? the difference is they were so prepared. >> you do actually actually post—covid. what is the bizarre aspect ? if my high street is aspect? if my high street is anything go by and generally anything to go by and generally it's people appear to be it's people do appear to be walking in a way whether walking around in a way whether you like it or not, because the trains never turn up. they didn't. yeah that's right. i've got my walk to paddington from portsmouth. that would be a good one. >> yeah, but it's the combination, isn't high combination, isn't it, of high fat, high sugar food which arrives with a motorbike and does walk in anywhere or does not walk in anywhere or doing lot of doing anything. a lot of swimming closed during swimming pools closed during lockdown, never opened again. a lot the closed down, lot of the gyms closed down, never again. you've got never opened again. you've got volunteers with kids on volunteers who work with kids on sports teams , particularly more sports teams, particularly more senior ever senior people who didn't ever come back after lockdowns to run the local swimming team or whatever they were volunteering to that's true. yeah. to do. that's true. yeah. >> has there been a reduction? >> has there been a reduction? >> scoutmasters and things >> yep. scoutmasters and things like absolutely. because like that. absolutely. because you people who might you had some people who might have been in late 60s, have been in their late 60s, let's 70s, who might have let's say 70s, who might have spent years volunteering spent 20 years volunteering at the local scout hut. it was
6:31 pm
closed for lockdowns. and then they just think, never going they just think, i'm never going to to do it. so the kids to go back to do it. so the kids again the that have again are the ones that have suffered. to get them suffered. we need to get them moving. need get kids moving. we need to get kids moving. we need to get kids moving as as possible. moving as much as possible. >> know, i found really >> you know, i found really interesting because we that interesting because we did that show recently, we, up in show recently, didn't we, up in west lincolnshire, it was >> yes, in lincolnshire, it was cumbria. yeah. >> was walking around >> and i was walking around whitehaven. yeah, was walking whitehaven. yeah, i was walking around loads people were around and loads of people were thin i thought, is it thin and i thought, is it because they're going to the because they're all going to the lake at the weekend? lake district at the weekend? very more, more very possibly it is more, more people be doing that. people should be doing that. obviously it's about time that families or knowing families have or or knowing whitehaven that whitehaven a little bit that they're poor they they're so they're so poor they can't deliveroo's. can't afford deliveroo's. >> that? >> how about that? >> how about that? >> people look very >> maybe people look very healthy point. healthy was my point. yeah. >> there that. but that >> but there is that. but that socioeconomic issue, poorer socioeconomic issue, the poorer you generally the bigger you you are generally the bigger you are anyway. that's clearly demonstrated statistics, are anyway. that's clearly den necessarily, statistics, are anyway. that's clearly den necessarily, know, tics, are anyway. that's clearly den necessarily, know, but not necessarily, you know, but you be very thin and you can also be very thin and very nutritionally, deprived as well , but i do very nutritionally, deprived as well, but i do think it's partly to do with the parents getting involved. and you said earlier, kelvin, about why don't parents get involved? you have to say no
6:32 pm
to your children all the time now because the proliferation to your children all the time nofastecause the proliferation to your children all the time nofastecauseit the proliferation to your children all the time nofastecauseit is he proliferation to your children all the time nofastecauseit is everywhere. on of fast food, it is everywhere. every platform has got a every train platform has got a vending machine, doesn't have fruit in it, it's got sugar and chocolate, and every till it's surrounded by sweets, it's everywhere. so in when we were growing up, your parents might just put your dinner on the table. and if you didn't want it, you didn't get it, well, you didn't get anything else. yeah, now anything else. yeah, but now we're indulging the time. >> also, if you look at the faiths historically, whether it's islam, judaism, christianity, was christianity, there was a measure fasting or measure of fasting or prohibitions on what eat. prohibitions on what you eat. this a ancient idea that this is a very ancient idea that actually shouldn't have what this is a very ancient idea that actuwant shouldn't have what this is a very ancient idea that actuwant when ouldn't have what this is a very ancient idea that actuwant when you n't have what this is a very ancient idea that actuwant when you wantive what this is a very ancient idea that actuwant when you want allwhat this is a very ancient idea that actuwant when you want all thet you want when you want all the time. it's good for your soul, it's good for your health. so maybe we'll see a return to fasting , i maybe we'll see a return to fasting, i don't maybe we'll see a return to fasting , i don't know. fasting, i don't know. >> well, we are, aren't we? it's becoming very fashionable now from a diet point of doing it, it very effective. it seems to be very effective. >> the one of the >> well, one of the one of the big diets of the moment is that five and two. that's right, isn't it? >> that five days eating. >> and that five days eating. two days. >> yeah. and that, that seems to. you can see from my
6:33 pm
to. but as you can see from my face, course i have stewed face, of course i, i have stewed that myself. but other people are very healthy. that myself. but other people are you' healthy. that myself. but other people are you look.thy. that myself. but other people are you look very healthy to me, >> you look very healthy to me, get touch at home. won't you get in touch at home. won't you let know. what you think? let us know. what you think? vaiews@gbnews.com email vaiews@gbnews.com is the email address . we're sitting soft this address. we're sitting soft this evening, so it's quite nice here on the sofas, isn't it? chatty very chatty, now british farmers are calling for a universal bafic are calling for a universal basic income. is subsidising farming the only answer to britain's food security ? don't britain's food security? don't go
6:34 pm
6:35 pm
6:36 pm
welcome back to dewbs & co with welcome back to dewbs& co with me. bev turner. we're on the sofa tonight. it's very relaxed. and thank you for joining us, you've all been getting in touch at home, on these honeytrap mps. this is at least a dozen. i think more of them might come out who were targeted by fake emails to get compromising material on them, martin said, enjoying the hypocrisy of these self—serving careerist politicians . and steve has said
6:37 pm
politicians. and steve has said so. it's people, not technology , so. it's people, not technology, which is our weakest link in this case. male mps thinking with their nether regions at the expense of national security . expense of national security. don't be an mp if you're trying to have it all. we're trusting our country with these people. and on obesity , we were just and on obesity, we were just talking about the fact that we're eating 50% more calories thanks to lockdowns because we're all now addicted to takeaways, delivered takeaways, which delivered to the i live in the door. linda said, i live in portugal and it is possible portugal and it is not possible to buy clothes over a size 16 to 18. you never see really obese people here. i think it must be because they cannot buy big sizes, john says. my my sizes, john says. my gob, my money, choice, life . money, my choice, my life. right? keep your messages coming. right. moving on. aaron bastani is still here. and kelvin mackenzie, of course. now farmers are calling for the government to give them a universal basic income, saying the post—brexit agriculture subsidy scheme has left many of them worse off. do farmers need more money from state, or do more money from the state, or do we need to leave it up to the free market? kelvin, where do you stand on this? >> not, i'm not. i'm never
6:38 pm
>> i'm not, i'm not. i'm never in favour of a kind of guaranteed income. yeah, and if i was going to give anybody a guaranteed income, i'd probably give you probably have to give it you probably have to start thinking about uber drivers well, i'm not in drivers as well, so i'm not in favour of that. the issue here is that, that there are, i think, only 100 signed up to this so far. and if anybody puts you a petition in front of you and says, are you in favour of, receiving money for which you don't have to work or don't have to, then i'm afraid everybody signs for it. so i'm not. and the other aspect of this is that when you get when you're in farming, you you only get paid when the stuff comes out of the ground. so there used to an enormously risky, profession. none of them want to get out of it right ? obviously, i recognise it right? obviously, i recognise that they were damned hard. we need every, every, every piece of food that we can grow. we don't have to import. i agree with all that. but at the same time, i'm afraid the land is
6:39 pm
probably worth quite a bit of money. and they themselves have a freedom to do what they want. >> we don't want them to sell that land, though, do we? what do we? have you seen the no farmers, no to another farmer. >> right. and that may be what happens you can't have happens that you can't have these small patchwork areas. you have farming and have to have large farming and they have to be industrial farming. >> go on. aaron, where do you stand on this? i mean the phrase universal income. you universal basic income. are you comfortable with that? that does make a bit cold. make my blood run a bit cold. >> well, it's a very left wing idea, actually. i'm not very. might surprised. i'm not a might be surprised. i'm not a supporter ubi. okay, right, supporter of ubi. okay, right, i'm fan of universal basic i'm a big fan of universal basic services, access to the kind of welfare provision or public services that people are at least familiar you might least familiar with. you might not it, but you not agree with it, but you recognise access to education, healthcare, funded recognise access to education, healthcéprogressive funded recognise access to education, healthcéprogressive taxation, through progressive taxation, which have that though which we have that though we have exactly. eroding have that. exactly. it's eroding in it's growing in in some places. it's growing in others. people familiar others. but people are familiar with in terms with that idea. yeah. in terms of this, where i disagree is that people aren't leaving farming. really farming. but what's really interesting, speak to interesting, if you speak to farmers you speak to their farmers and you speak to their kids, want to kids, the children don't want to do i mean, know somebody
6:40 pm
do it. i mean, i know somebody who's the son of farmers. they will absolutely not over will absolutely not take over that business because the returns are it's hard work . returns are low. it's hard work. and the risk thing is such an important variable. here. we never think about it. the rest of us, you know, the rest of the world, if you speak to somebody like an italian wine grower, they might have vines in tuscany. you think, what a wonderful life. wonderful. they are constantly panicking about the weather. it's not going to rain this week. it's going to be too hot that week. and they're constantly on edge. they're constantly on edge. they're constantly anxious. very difficult money. difficult game, not much money. and just from a and i think just from a perspective food security, perspective of food security, i don't know if i agree with this idea. i'm certainly open to it. and i think we should be growing as food as possible if this as much food as possible if this helps there. it's value helps us get there. it's value for money. all it. for money. i'm for all it. >> but that assessment is so bleak. if what you're saying is the next generation take bleak. if what you're saying is the rtheireneration take bleak. if what you're saying is the rtheir farmsion take bleak. if what you're saying is the rtheir farms and take bleak. if what you're saying is the rtheir farms and or take bleak. if what you're saying is the rtheir farms and or theake over their farms and or the farmers who are there now who don't any cash, but know don't have any cash, but know that they're sitting on a lot of land, which might worth a lot land, which might be worth a lot of for housing or even
6:41 pm
of money for housing or even a field of solar panels. who's going to grow food we going to grow the food that we need what's the what's need to eat? what's the what's plan b? >> mean, most most of our >> no, i mean, most most of our country i think is 4/5 of the country i think is 4/5 of the country now is basically farmland or something, just slightly less than that, actually. but i don't worry about that, nor do i worry about farmers whose children don't want to go into it. i've heard that same argument about blood on the till in corner shops . on the till in corner shops. right? and actually there are as many corner shops today . and if many corner shops today. and if they can thrive anyway as as there ever were . so look, i do there ever were. so look, i do agree that the word that the two words which will worry our country are food security. after all, having looked at russia and the way that after well, the ukraine was considered the breadbasket of europe. right. and today, you know, there is a kind of deal to allow this stuff to go out of the ukraine and the only reason they allow it is because there are starving africans, as if they don't get hold of that, that grain. so it is a worry for ourselves and we
6:42 pm
should do everything to encourage people to stay into farming short of . i just don't farming short of. i just don't believe that it's a good idea to pay believe that it's a good idea to pay people when they don't have to, when we don't have. >> well, maybe. i mean, and of course we'll be talking about this is the state will be supporting our farmers. shouldn't it just be that the supermarkets can pay the farmers a fairer price for their produce? or maybe the supermarkets should be giving them a universal basic income and come to some sort of deal with the farmers, whereby the supermarkets subsidise them, have you ever, have you ever heard of those negotiations ? heard of those negotiations? >> they are at the supermarket, the guys. so people in charge of potatoes or the people in charge of this, that and the other, they are vile beyond vile . they they are vile beyond vile. they turn round to say the potato guy said, well , not only are we not said, well, not only are we not going to pay you a what you want or b what you had last year, what we're going to do now is we're now going to put an advert on television and you'll be pleased to you are
6:43 pm
pleased to know that you are going pay for that advert and going to pay for that advert and by the way, if you don't like it, we can get potatoes from anywhere in the world at no different price to you. it is a nightmare job. i knew a guy who actually was was in the production side of cakes, right? he said honestly, he said it was the biggest mistake he ever made in his life. because once you get on to their gravy train of what is their big companies, right, you stay with it. they treat you absolutely shockingly , treat you absolutely shockingly, which is why the government set up a board where independents can go and complain about supermarkets. the problem with doing that , the problem with doing that, the problem with doing that, the problem with doing that, the problem with doing that, as you might expect, is that the supermarkets say, really? you're going to do that to us? are you right? we don't expect whether you win or will you lose, don't expect to get any business from us. it is an absolute nightmare, isn't it? >> nightmare for them. >> it's a nightmare for them. right. take right. we're going to take a quick break now. don't go anywhere reports of anywhere because reports of learner cheating on
