about the fact that he was, a movie star to many people, or the fact that he was a brand ambassador for places like hertz. no, of course it will be. the fact that he was accused of murdering his ex—wife and her friend , something that he very friend, something that he very passionately denied . many people passionately denied. many people absolutely do not agree, though , absolutely do not agree, though, that he was innocent. i can tell you that now, kelvin mackenzie , you that now, kelvin mackenzie, i mean, you are you know, you are a man. you've spent your whole career telling stories. if someone's fresh they've someone's fresh to this, they've just switched on the telly. they were not one of those 95 million people that watched this car chase. they were not one of the 150 million that watched 150 million people that watched the trial give a very potted history , just an overview of history, just an overview of this story about oj simpson . this story about oj simpson. >> okay, so it's about 30 years ago, and this was in brentwood, which is a reasonably fashionable suburb of los angeles. and it's at night. fashionable suburb of los angeles. and it's at night . and angeles. and it's at night. and a man with a knife , stabs to

a man with a knife, stabs to death, as it turns out, to be 0.1. death, as it turns out, to be o.j. simpson's ex—wife and her friend , a guy called, goldman, friend, a guy called, goldman, i think. and then what happened was the reason that everybody knows about it is because for the first time ever , the the first time ever, the networks all broke into whatever they were showing, whether it's soaps or anything else, and showed a chase of the police, trying to catch oj because he he tookit trying to catch oj because he he took it on his he took it on his toes and here it is now. >> yeah. here you go. so this is the car chase, actually. so as kevin was just saying, nicole brown smith was the ex—wife. ron goldman was the friend. he was actually waiter , in actually a waiter, in a restaurant. i think he was apparently returning something back when back to nicole when this incident happened. we incident happened. and when we say, these two were say, these two people were stabbed, i nicole, aaron, stabbed, i mean, nicole, aaron, she was stabbed in the head. in the neck. she was almost decapitated anyway. oj simpson, he was then supposed to be turning himself in. instead, he

was, basically, they couldn't find him. he then ended up in this absolutely bizarre car chase. we're watching this now. this is a ford bronco. it was apparently being driven by one of his team—mates, who then later went on to say that apparently oj simpson had a gun to his own head. oj simpson's head. during this whole time, 95 million people apparently watched this car chase unfold. the car chase, plus the standoff at the end lasted for about 19 minutes in total. this was such a spectacle. i want to put you in context in case you know, in case you're not really familiar with this, this would be like someone akin to like, a david beckham, this level of kind of stardom, if not, perhaps beyond. people were lining the streets of route . they kind of this, route. they were kind of this, route. they were kind of they to call of cheering. they used to call him juice, like oj, obviously. they used to call him juice. they used to call him juice. they were free juice. it was a huge, huge spectacle . all of huge, huge spectacle. all of this, as i've just been mentioning. then, of course, it was then went to the trial. you'll be perhaps familiar with

many of the things that happened in that trial. it was absolutely dogged by accusations of racism. many that many people were saying that people were people in the police were racist, they'd planted racist, that they'd planted evidence tampered with evidence or tampered with evidence. of came evidence. much of it then came down. ladies and to down. ladies and gents, to a glove. do remember that? glove. do you remember that? this what they were then this glove, what they were then saying is that they'd found this glove. bloody glove. and if glove. this bloody glove. and if oj could get on. here oj simpson could get it on. here we look, i've got the we go. look, i've got the footage of said glove, if you could get it on, then, you know, that might show us one thing. but he couldn't get it on, if but if he couldn't get it on, if it didn't fit, it was if the glove. if the glove don't fit, you must acquit. look at him. there pulling that on. and there pulling that glove on. and i to say, i don't even i have to say, i don't even think oj took stand after think oj took to the stand after that, because that apparently convinced the members the convinced the members of the jury convinced the members of the jury such a point that that jury to such a point that that is seen by many, aaron, as the moment that he apparently came across has been innocent. do you think was ? think he was? >> well, i don't know, beyond all reasonable doubt. i mean, at the time it was a bit of a standing joke that he'd sort of quote unquote, gotten away with

it. and there was a broader context rodney context of the rodney king riots, the time, riots, around the same time, slightly earlier la, and slightly earlier in la, and there was a concern there probably was a concern with public disorder with regards to public disorder and surrounding it. and the politics surrounding it. but i think his his case but i don't think his his case was overwhelming . i do remember was overwhelming. i do remember i was young when this was i was very young when this was of being broadcast. i do of course, being broadcast. i do remember overwhelming shock, in response , but particularly for response, but particularly for me in a uk context, why this stands out as memorable is that it marks a singular it really marks a singular moment you use the word spectacle. i think that's absolutely right. people began to engage with television in a quite different new way . we saw quite different new way. we saw that as well, with lady diana's, passing a few years afterwards , passing a few years afterwards, maybe a year or two after that as well. there was a shift as well. so there was a shift going there, transatlantic going on there, transatlantic with television being this new medium, quintessential medium by how we make sense and understand the world, it is really, really odd. >> i must, however , it must be >> i must, however, it must be said that even although although the way the may america divided was the white community thought

he was guilty as sin and the black community didn't. >> however, when it went to a civil court, when one of the family then sued him , the civil family then sued him, the civil jury family then sued him, the civil jury found that he had done it and awarded $33 million to the families. and they they they've hardly had a penny of it, to be honest. the guy the guy was a criminal. i mean, after all, do you think he was innocent? no, i think he was. the america was going through a strange period at that time. first of all, there was huge kind of racial tension that was mainly tension that jury was mainly black, right? there was black, right? and there was a lot played on that issue. lot of played on that issue. right. but that tension , it was right. but that tension, it was the same kind of idea that cleared michael jackson . you cleared michael jackson. you know, there was a sense that if you were famous, if you were famous, you didn't do things right. that would be different today america. yeah. mean, today in america. yeah. i mean, today in america. yeah. i mean, today would today in america, he would i mean, he's had 30 as far as i'm concerned. he's had 30 years and he have of his he should have died of his cancer jail . but, you know, cancer in jail. but, you know,

he ended up getting 17 years for armed robbery later on. so this was not some innocent guy, you know, this was this was a killer and a criminal and it is. but here we are. we're now, what, 6000 miles away from from los angeles. and yet this is leading, leading the news. so it's a it's a big story of his death as well as his life. >> one of my viewers, julie, she's got in touch and said, michel, i was actually in las vegas, due to fly to la. the very next day when the verdict came we was warned that came in and we was warned that if oj simpson was found guilty of the murders, our flight would perhaps have cancelled perhaps have to be cancelled because was unquestionable because it was unquestionable the that there would the sentiment that there would be race rioting in la. and it wouldn't be appropriate or safe to fly in. that's an interesting point, and i do think as well, oj simpson i think at that time there was quite, like a black activism movement going on. but i don't actually think oj simpson can have aligned himself

to that. so before all this stuff, obviously he was like a huge brand ambassador for places like hertz, but he was always quite reluctant to get involved with that, kind of like the black activism that many of the people were so passionate about at that time. >> well, he certainly wasn't to pac, but the, the, the, the, the protests and the riots you're talking about. well, like i said, the rodney king riots in the early l.a. said, the rodney king riots in the early la. and that the early 1990s in la. and that was actually a case of the police doing something very bad. they him. lied. they beat him. they lied. fortunately, it was all caught on camera. i think, like on camera. and so i think, like i said, that was the context. the police been very the police had been very naughty. was clear naughty. there was clear evidence institutional racism evidence of institutional racism within in aftermath within the lapd in the aftermath . have to remember, . two and you have to remember, with la riots rodney with the la riots after rodney king, wasn't white on black, king, it wasn't white on black, it was south korean, it was hispanic, it was a complete mess in downtown i think in downtown la. and i think there, of course, would have been a real concern of something similar happening after this, as well, i've got to say. then so well, i've got to say. then so we talk about we talked a bit then about what happened with his life, course he has his life, but of course he has passed away. he did die

actually, of prostate cancer. it was few ago that was only a few months ago that he went on to twitter, he actually went on to twitter, basically tell, his or basically to tell, his fans or whoever that was actually whoever that he was actually healthy. listen my health is good. >> i mean, obviously i'm dealing with some issues, but, hey, i think i'm just about over it, and i'll be, back on that golf course. hopefully in a couple of weeks. but it was very nice heanng weeks. but it was very nice hearing from you and hearing those good, positive words. thank you . thank you. >> yeah. i mean, prostate cancen >> yeah. i mean, prostate cancer, i mean this is something that's touched my family. everyone knows now i think that my partner, had, prostate cancer and i just had quite big surgery for that, of course we've had the king. he's had issues with his prostate, the prostate cancen his prostate, the prostate cancer, can be quite a concern to a huge number of men. i think it's something like 1 in 8 men get prostate cancer. kelvin. >> yeah, yeah . not good. so keep >> yeah, yeah. not good. so keep away from keep away from caffeine in your coffee and keep away from alcohol , alcohol caffeine in your coffee and keep away from alcohol, alcohol and caffeine. >> why is that. so to increase

the risk is it. >> yeah it does. yeah. yeah. in fact. so that's the first first thing you should do. >> it's a very good job at prostate. and the amount of caffeine and alcohol i drink i can tell you that. right. well, i think i, it actually affects more though, doesn't it? more men though, doesn't it? well up, sir. i should hope well shut up, sir. i should hope so. although. yeah, i was so. yeah although. yeah, i was just about to say i was just about to make some hilarious comment, but stop myself. comment, but i'll stop myself. yeah, whole of yeah, aaron, this whole kind of prostate is prostate cancer, you know, it is becoming . maybe i'm maybe becoming such. maybe i'm maybe because partners it, because my partners had it, i kind of pick up on it now. absolutely. everywhere. i seem to that there's so much of to feel that there's so much of it i don't know if there it about. i don't know if there is of it about or if it's is more of it about or if it's just me being more in tuned with it. but it's a very important topic, and men really do need to be making sure that are be making sure that they are focusing their focusing on their health properly, actually properly, they're actually trials i it's very, trials for i know it's a very, unsavoury word some people. unsavoury word for some people. >> now, after covid vaccine trials, certain of trials, for certain kinds of cancen trials, for certain kinds of cancer, there's a set of cancer, i think there's a set of trout, certain of trout, there's a certain set of trials for cancer and if trials for lung cancer and if those are successful, you know, in the 2030s, billions of people

could benefit from that. of course, that raises a bunch of questions, side effects. and also, the if we do. also, by the way, if we do. quote unquote beat cancer , which quote unquote beat cancer, which is plausible in the 10 is very plausible in the next 10 to 15. plausible. i'm not to 15. it's plausible. i'm not saying likely plausible in the next 10 years. you next 10 to 15 years. you actually create a bigger problem down the line, which more and down the line, which is more and more will live longer and more people will live longer and they'll dementia instead, they'll die of dementia instead, which hard and which is incredibly hard and expensive but i mean, expensive to treat. but i mean, that's something we about that's something we talk about lots like you lots of bad stories, like you said at the top the show, said at the top of the show, let's talk about something said at the top of the show, let'a talk about something said at the top of the show, let'a moment,t something said at the top of the show, let'a moment,t somethi|you for a moment, which is, you know, have a huge we have know, we have a huge we have a huge amount to be grateful for. >> as i've just said, it's just touched my family. and it is when you hear, you are when you hear, that you are a loved one, has got that diagnosis of cancer, it stops loved one, has got that diagin sis of cancer, it stops loved one, has got that diagin yourf cancer, it stops loved one, has got that diagin your tracks.

hello there. i'm michelle dewberry and i'm with you till 7:00 tonight. the former editor of the sun , kelvin mackenzie. of the sun, kelvin mackenzie. alongside me is the co—founder of novara media. aaron bastani. welcome, everybody, national pet day. let's have a look. some more of your pets, this is princess grace. i like this is from our hometown of hull . yes. from our hometown of hull. yes. two hull princesses in the same place at the same time. who would have thought that a god, kelvin, that was an excellent joke. pack it in, please. sniggering away at the back. look, this is, rocky and apollo. look, this is, rocky and apollo. look at these two chaps, again,

icannot look at these two chaps, again, i cannot tell you what dogs they are. if you're listening on the radio, i've got absolutely no idea. but the snuggled in settled ready dewbs & co. settled in, ready for dewbs& co. and like it . and look at this and i like it. and look at this one. last but not least, mortimer faye . oh, these are mortimer and faye. oh, these are cute, they, are in cute, aren't they, they are in nottingham . they go national pet nottingham. they go national pet day. well, let's talk, though, shall about the high street. shall we, about the high street. you know, used to have fond you know, i used to have fond memories , aaron, of you know, memories, aaron, of you know, you used to go what we would call downward or upward and it would bustling. there'd would be bustling. there'd be absolutely you'd absolutely everything that you'd wanted hands on, wanted to get your hands on, whether was a butcher, whether it was a butcher, whether it was a butcher, whether was a clothes shop, whether it was a clothes shop, anything, hairdressers, anything. days for many anything. those days for many now seem to have long gone. the labour party have released their five point plan back for the high street. they're going to do lots of different stuff. apparently they're going to tinker with business rates. they're tackle they're going to tackle antisocial behaviour. you know. what's your thoughts this? what's your thoughts on this? i think it's really gone too far. i'm putting the five points, by the way, on the screen now in case you're not. that's great.

>> no, think it's really >> no, i think it's really positive, and the good thing is lots of it won't cost very much. so for instance, stamp out late payments. we all like and payments. we all like that. and social behaviour that will cost some course some money. that's of course more banking hubs more police. the banking hubs thing. think that's quite hard thing. i think that's quite hard to replacing to execute. replacing business rates is they want to rates is key. they want to change emphasis really from change the emphasis really from taxing businesses taxing taxing live businesses to taxing the building . and the owner and the building. and the owner and i actually i would maybe they will do this. i would introduce a tax for vacant buildings after three months. you're you're three months. so you're you're disincentivizing leaving a building empty or getting your, your tenants out, you building empty or getting your, your tenants out , you know, your tenants out, you know, rather than rushing people out and not knowing who's going to replace them. you you want to plan. otherwise you'll be paying x amount money month. x amount of money per month. maybe months maybe after three months you might leave it vacant might want to leave it vacant because need it and because you need to paint it and decorate it, i think it decorate it, but i think it shouldn't be a band too shouldn't be a band for too long. so i think some of those changes good. document changes are good. the document itself strange, so the itself is rather strange, so the conservatives apparently are responsible for 3700 fewer fruit conservatives apparently are resp veg ble for 3700 fewer fruit conservatives apparently are respveg shops, 3700 fewer fruit conservatives apparently are respveg shops, butchers er fruit conservatives apparently are respveg shops, butchers and uit and veg shops, butchers and newsagents. i love a good newsagent, don't and i'd newsagent, but i don't and i'd to love pin things on the

tories. don't think that's on tories. i don't think that's on the tories. of course the tories. that's of course a change in consumption habits. there some places and when there are some places and when people say the internet, it annoys because are some annoys me because there are some high in this country high streets in this country which doing really well. which are doing really well. they're places they're really fabulous places to out there are others to hang out and there are others which are not. it to be which are not. it tends to be about how close you are to london, how wealthy are . if london, how wealthy you are. if you're town and you you're a smaller town and you know, london, you know, know, in in london, you know, i don't need to tell your audience it's looking so you look it's looking bleak. so you look at it's got two at winchester, it's got two waterstones you go waterstones bookstores. you go further west to poole. similar size, still quite affluent. no waterstones. the point is, it's not that close to london. the commuters don't live there. so we need plan for our high we need a plan for our high streets. i think a start. streets. i think it's a start. i think it's relatively sensible. it's not going to cost that much money. you know, you had the response tories, which response from the tories, which was treasury was from bim afolami treasury minister, rishi sunak in minister, only rishi sunak in the conservatives have a plan which is working walk down a high street tell me it's high street and tell me it's working. you might not like laboun working. you might not like labour, the status labour, but you know the status quo member quo is awful, gb news member nigel. got an in touch, on

nigel. he's got an in touch, on the website. he's got a very simple plan. i think it could be quite effective, actually. nigel, he says it's simple. make parking free. you'll. will parking free. you'll. you will see flooding back . see the shoppers flooding back. that's not bad idea, actually, that's not a bad idea, actually, kevin, that is a much kevin, that is that is a much better idea than any of the ideasi better idea than any of the ideas i saw put forward by laboun >> the only one i vaguely agreed with or totally agree with is the fact that we're going to pursue under their plan. going to shoplifters less to pursue shoplifters for less than the £200 which exists right now. that is correct . that now. now that is correct. that involves more police officers, many more police officers . and many more police officers. and on that basis, therefore, somebody's got to pay it. somebody's got to pay for it. and i'm told that taxes are not going to go up under labour. so i'd to know how is i'd like to know how this is going to achieved. the rest going to be achieved. the rest of people want. look, of it is what people want. look, if want if you want to get if you want if you want to get a, i don't know, some toothpaste or something, there's two ways you it. you can go down you can do it. you can go down to the supermarket or bizarrely, as in my own as i discovered in my own household, you just contact amazon you just amazon amazon or you just write amazon and they deliver within 24 and they will deliver within 24 hours. of toothpaste. hours. one tube of toothpaste. when that kind of

when you've got that kind of facility, that is the reason people don't shop in the high street anymore. however, what has happened my street has happened in my high street in weybridge street, which in weybridge high street, which is bustling right now and is pretty bustling right now and actually market in actually has gone up market in the i've there, the time that i've been there, which is normally the reverse of what turn up what happens when i turn up anywhere. right? is what's happened is there are anywhere. right? is what's hecoffeed is there are anywhere. right? is what's hecoffee shops is there are anywhere. right? is what's hecoffee shops within there are anywhere. right? is what's hecoffee shops within 2505re are 11 coffee shops within 250 yards, including the arrival. now of the imprimatur of the middle classes. gail's now turned up and there was literally a queue out the door on sunday morning to gail's at to a quarter to ten. so look the high leave the high street . high leave the high street. however, where i do agree with that guy there, whoever that is nigel is, unless you have parking high streets are not going to be saved, right? and it's going to have to be parking, which people can afford round my way. they've just announced or they've just introduced car parking at the station, £11.10 plus ringo at £0.42. my god, you know, people

have to go to work. people have to shop. it is wholly wrong. so free parking is a very good idea. if the space is there, is the space there? >> well, les on the gb news website, says michel. it's no wonder the high streets are doomed. local councils have taxed retailers out of business. the higher parking charges and now clean air zones, now these clean air zones, making it forcing us all basically to go on to public transport, he says. i must confess, he goes to out of town shopping places now instead of the high street . and i think the high street. and i think that's such, such a shame. i'll tell you what you do see a lot of on the high street, and that is rough sleepers, i've got to say, the government are in trouble. when are they not actually, quite frankly, but there's whole notion about there's this whole notion about whether not rough sleeping whether or not rough sleeping should made more of should actually be made more of a criminal offence. aaron, the tories, you know, for suella example. i'm sure it was suella. she was talking tough about, tents and whether or not tents would be allowed on the streets. and now there's kind of conversations within the criminal about criminal justice bill about whether be

whether or not, it should be criminalised. sleeping. do criminalised. rough sleeping. do you think it should? >> they've got this >> i think they've got this debate the completely wrong way round. down. why are round. it's upside down. why are people why are they people homeless? why are they rough sleeping? that should be the not how do the first question, not how do we them ? generally we criminalise them? generally speaking, because speaking, it's because of substance . it may substance abuse issues. it may be. and this was on your tweet. i don't want to steal something. you're about to say. you were saying kinds of people that saying the kinds of people that are sleeping saw are rough sleeping you saw earlier on today. >> i'll you about that in second. >> yeah. people can fall on hard times, perhaps because the times, perhaps because of, the way have changed way that benefits have changed in last ten years. it's much in the last ten years. it's much more you might more punitive now. so you might have to wait for weeks, have to wait for six weeks, eight you actually eight weeks before you actually get that universal credit payment. can't not have payment. people can't not have money two months. that money for two months. so that creates a problem too. that's many, everyone. creates a problem too. that's many, who everyone. creates a problem too. that's many, who been everyone. creates a problem too. that's many, who been through)ne. creates a problem too. that's many, who been through the people who have been through the child and been child protection system and been failed, their failed, frankly, by their parents well. that would parents as well. that would be the first question me. look, the first question for me. look, we're going to have some we're always going to have some homelessness. the homelessness. i accept that. the point is, can we minimise it? i think we can absolutely reduce it of measures. it through a mix of measures. and think speaks volumes and i think it speaks volumes that conservatives approach

that the conservatives approach is we criminalise it? is how do we criminalise it? look, you're down your look, if you're down on your luck, a substance abuse luck, you have a substance abuse issue. you're literally sleeping luck, you have a substance abuse issue. colde literally sleeping luck, you have a substance abuse issue. colde liternight.eeping luck, you have a substance abuse issue. colde liternight. you're in the cold every night. you're not to be worried about not going to be worried about a prison cell. if anything, that's an upgrade. like i say, an upgrade. but like i say, that's that's the that's that's that's the conservatives 14 conservatives for the last 14 years, frankly. >> kelvin. >> kelvin. >> parts of london are >> well, parts of london are shocking and i find it i find it offensive. actually, i know i should care for these people. i don't care for them, they're lying in shop windows. they're lying in shop windows. they're lying on the pavement. they cover themselves in cardboard. i theyif cover themselves in cardboard. i they if you one of them in charlotte street , if you go into charlotte street, if you go into the atm there, there's a guy on your case at 100 miles an hour who clearly to your point , who clearly to your point, actually has got some drug related issue. you feel threatened by it. these are these are dangerous people for ordinary people. >> some people, not all of them, though. >> no, no, but but it's a threatening it's a it's a threatening it's a it's a threatening environment . and i'm threatening environment. and i'm sure everybody has a bad luck story to tell.

>> i don't have any sympathy at all because you're a you're a parent, aren't you? yeah. and when you look at some of these people because i have, for i various reasons, my past doesn't matter. but i do have, a huge sympathy, actually, for people that are homeless and i spend a lot of time trying to talk to people. i volunteered in the homeless, refuge before for a penod homeless, refuge before for a period of time , i've directly period of time, i've directly employed someone. i saw a young man, a young kind of boy on the street that was homeless, and it broke my heart. and i had a business at that point in time, and i employed him. i took him and i employed him. i took him and said to him, you don't need to be on the street. i will give you a job. and it was challenging because he had issues with alcohol and was issues with alcohol and it was quite challenging. long quite challenging. but long story the end of that story short, at the end of that is a very ending. you is a very happy ending. you know, sort himself out and his life looks different today. know, sort himself out and his life lthat's different today. know, sort himself out and his life lthat's difandit today. know, sort himself out and his life lthat's difand i today. know, sort himself out and his life lthat's difand i doiay. know, sort himself out and his life lthat's difand i do think well that's good. and i do think i do think, look, i, you i do think, well, look, i, you know, i'm grateful and i'm sure your viewers will be grateful that, caring that, that there are caring and sharing that, that there are caring and shaing that, that there are caring and shai don't happen to i don't >> i don't happen to i don't

happen be in that in that happen to be in that in that area. i'm afraid it's not. it's not i don't wish them harm. i do not i don't wish them harm. i do not want them to be, you know, damaging a great city or, causing unease, even if causing causing unease, even if it's not violence. i don't like the atmosphere that they create. now, what can be done about it? i don't know, i kind of buy the argument that actually saying to them, we're going to fine you is probably absolutely ridiculous. >> tweet, tweet that >> the tweet, the tweet that aaron mentions today, i went into a supermarket. it's one that i often go to, i must that i don't often go to, i must confess. so i've not been there for ages. anyway, long story short, layer of the for ages. anyway, long story sho park, layer of the for ages. anyway, long story sho park, just layer of the for ages. anyway, long story sho park, just one layer of the for ages. anyway, long story sho park, just one layer. of the for ages. anyway, long story sho park, just one layer. there car park, just one layer. there was these three separate. i don't how to describe them. don't know how to describe them. i called them almost like i called them like almost like they're but they're i called them like almost like thejjust but they're i called them like almost like thejjust beds. but they're i called them like almost like thejjust beds. they'ret they're i called them like almost like thejjust beds. they're like y're not just beds. they're like setups. three of them setups. there was three of them and was five different and there was five different people, anyway, i went spoke people, anyway, i went and spoke to them. off of to them. i went off to one of them and this lady, i said to her, she said, you got any her, she said, have you got any money or whatever? i said, i ain't got money. who's got cash these anyway? i said, does these days anyway? i said, does she food? and she was she want any food? and she was so specific. i said to her,

because definitely woman so specific. i said to her, becaknows definitely woman so specific. i said to her, beca knows a definitely woman so specific. i said to her, becaknows a man.1itely woman so specific. i said to her, becaknows a man. she! woman so specific. i said to her, becaknows a man. she wanted an that knows a man. she wanted a southern fried chicken wrap from the section of the the hot section of the supermarket. long supermarket. anyway, long story short, not available, so short, it was not available, so i her other food that i offered her other food that she didn't want, but she she didn't then want, but she directed to one of other directed me to one of the other things the the tarpaulin things the want the tarpaulin over stairs that you saw over the stairs that you saw there. in there. anyway, there. i went in there. anyway, long story short, i spoke to the guy was using guy there and he was using drugs, confess, and i saw drugs, i must confess, and i saw that, i had a long chat with that, and i had a long chat with him, and he was 35. he was a chef, actually, and they both told me, they've got a dog, they love their dog. and they couldn't into a hostel couldn't get into a hostel because willing to because they were not willing to part those dogs. but part with those dogs. but to your point substance your point about substance abuse, if someone picked abuse, even if someone picked that up now and puts that that guy up now and puts him today, right him into a house today, right now, now, here's your now, right now, here's your flat. not solve flat. that's not going to solve a problem. no, because he was, you from what could see, you know, from what i could see, quite a heavy drug user. and then you know, you've got another big problem on your hands now you've another big problem on your han people now you've another big problem on your han people of now you've another big problem on your han people of ncoming ve got people kind of all coming into place to into one centralised place to kind and share drugs. but kind of use and share drugs. but what do you think people's attitudes that should attitudes to that should be? because part of me, when i looked at supermarket,

looked at the supermarket, i mean, camp things had been mean, those camp things had been there for quite time and there for quite some time and i was trying to work out was it a good thing or not? yeah. whether or they'd not been on or not they'd not been moved on because thought, because part of me thought, well, nice that this well, it's nice that this organisation let them stay organisation has let them stay somewhere. the other side of me then thought, does then then thought, but does that then encourage to encourage more people to go there? wasn't actually sure there? i wasn't actually sure where it. are you where i was on it. where are you on that? >> it's a huge issue in the united so immediately united states. so immediately following subprime crisis, following the subprime crisis, you know, millions of people, i think million lost think 10 million people lost their 2008. of their homes after 2008. many of them in kinds of them lived in the kinds of makeshift you're talking makeshift camps you're talking about. one hand, it's about. on the one hand, it's good you might able to good that you might be able to find a sense of. and these were, quote unquote, people. quote unquote, normal people. you you you can find community. you might to safe, stay might be able to stay safe, stay warm, all good. but warm, eat. that's all good. but like you say, it's not a long term solution for anybody, my term solution for anybody, i my view everybody view is, look, everybody deserves chance. deserves a second chance. doesn't are. all doesn't matter who you are. all of could fall on hard times. of us could fall on hard times. you might lose a loved one. your child might pass away. whatever you could gravitate you you could gravitate toward, you gravitate you could gravitate toward, you gravita depression, etc. drugs, depression, etc. and i think, you can't help think, look, you can't help everyone . course can't.

everyone. of course you can't. but look, we've seen since 2010 alone a massive increase in homelessness london. it's homelessness in london. it's visibly something visibly different. something has changed. is it changed. all i'm saying is it can't be that hard to go back to something like before 2010. we're not saying, you know, create a car that can go 1000mph. that was the state of affairs 14 years ago. >> well, what do you think? i mean, you're hearing different opinions here. do you have sympathy when you see people on the not? what do the streets or not? and what do you the solution is, if you think the solution is, if indeed there even is one? get in touch with me all the usual indeed there even is one? get in touch afterme all the usual indeed there even is one? get in touch afterme ibreak, usual indeed there even is one? get in touch afterme ibreak, iisual indeed there even is one? get in touch afterme break, i want to ways. after the break, i want to talk to you about buses. is it time to basically nationalise all

hello, everybody. welcome back. it's michelle dewberry channel seven. the former editor of the sun, kelvin mackenzie. alongside me, co—founder of novara media. aaron bastani alongside me . aaron bastani alongside me. national pet day, you lot sending your pets. look, this sending in your pets. look, this is oscar in, in is oscar settling in, in hornchurch. he looks nice and

relaxed. look at this one. the next one. hamster. oh look at that. he's better than me, is it? i don't know what that is, but it looks very nutritious. and look at this one. willow, in west devon, looking very relaxed there. quite regal, i would say , there. quite regal, i would say, anyway, buses, shall anyway, let's talk buses, shall we, places now are looking we, many places now are looking to nationalise their buses , as to nationalise their buses, as i'm going to just cut straight to the chase, just for time reasons. do you think that more bus routes in this country should be nationalised? aaron bastani. >> well, so the perspective change from labour is that they would reduce the amount of time it takes to do what manchester's effectively done. so to manchester take it out of private hands into quasi public hands. it was about licensing, quite complicated. don't need quite complicated. we don't need to that took to go there. that took six years. labour is saying if a local authority like a metro mayor or a unitary authority , if mayor or a unitary authority, if they to do that in the they want to do that in the future, we bring down future, we would bring that down to again, think to two years. again, i think that's it's it's not going that's it's free. it's not going to very much. i think to cost very much. i think that's quite reasonable. and i think are many parts of

think there are many parts of the country talking about liverpool, west liverpool, peterborough, west yorkshire, very populated, large urban makes urban areas. i mean, it makes total sense to me and i think we can debate margaret thatcher. what she got right, what she got wrong. i think what happened to bus after the 80s bus services after the 80s was a complete disaster. well, apparently since 2010, 2023 apparently, since 2010, 2023 nonh apparently, since 2010, 2023 north yorkshire, 52. >> bus services cut. stoke on trent 64, shropshire 64. torbay 51. bath 52. slough 65 peterborough 55% of bus services cut is the answer, bringing them into national ownership? >> well, i think the reason that there has been a collapse, of course, is because the number of people using a bus, has , has people using a bus, has, has fallen dramatically because of the because of something called the, the motorcar. and so the issue i have with the buses and the buses around my way are reasonable. well, okay. reasonable, not all that

expensive a bus user. >> kelvin, i am not a bus user. >> kelvin, i am not a bus user. >> somebody said to me that if you are caught on the top of a clapham omnibus after your 30 years old, something has gone rather seriously wrong with your life. and whether that's true or not, that is i take the bus irregularly. okay, so i took a bus in essex about about five years ago. >> i was a bus pass. >> i was a bus pass. >> i was a bus pass. >> i was shocked that it cost a fiver to go about. >> i think it would have a free bus pass. >> well, i should have a thing, but you don't. you don't. you see, i because of because of the clean life i lead, i look a lot younger and therefore i am. >> i accidentally ageing you like you're being aged. >> being right? >> you're being ageist, right? >> you're being ageist, right? >> apologise, complained to >> i apologise, complained to ofcom, ofcom. ofcom, complained to ofcom. sorry about that. >> michelle dewberry being ageist, so the bottom line ageist, no. so the bottom line on this is that people don't use the buses as often. those that do use it obviously are likely to be older and on that basis they should have a political

voice. what i am fearful of is if they are nationalised and they turn out as they've always been before needing subsidy . been before needing subsidy. vie, who's going to increase the taxes under a labour administration to fill the hole? and the answer is that labour say they're not going to increase taxes. so that's another even even in this show today we've had two areas more police officers, taxis nationalised buses, taxis. where is this money all going to come from? if we're not going to increase taxes? the answer is that labour's maths don't add up. they. no they don't. >> it's going to come from taxing motorists more people. i mean if you are a motorist in this country, i'm not actually sure there is any much more money you can get from people you're now fined. if you're a second over your parking thing, maybe not a second. that's an exaggeration, but you got your parking things. that's parking things. now that's councils. that's not national >> yeah, that's not national government. you've got. >> no, i'm just thinking >> no, but i'm just thinking about motorists now. the

about the motorists now. the taxes government. you've taxes on your government. you've got when got congestion charges when you're going into various different cities, you've got, ulez. yeah. ulez. parking fines. yeah. you've ulez, you've got you've got your ulez, you've got your costs. so your parking costs. there's so many squeezes now on many different squeezes now on motorists. and i just think, what me at home, what do what tell me at home, what do you do? do you are you more of a car person or more of a bus person. you're a bus user, aaron. >> well, no i'm not because i'm in a place which have awful buses. my mother law uses a buses. my mother in law uses a bus. got a bus pass. she bus. she's got a bus pass. she comes from north portsmouth comes down from north portsmouth to regularly. what's to see us regularly. what's interesting last 25 years interesting in the last 25 years is bus journeys in london is that bus journeys in london have gone and the rest of the have gone up and the rest of the country, they've gone so country, they've gone down. so where a good service country, they've gone down. so whe it a good service country, they've gone down. so whei agree, a good service country, they've gone down. so whei agree, they're)od service country, they've gone down. so whei agree, they're not service country, they've gone down. so whei agree, they're not goinge and i agree, they're not going to everywhere. someone like to work everywhere. someone like manchester, you probably manchester, i think you probably can service like can have a bus service like london, which is very effective, very affordable. and i think, you manchester, you know, bristol, manchester, leeds, liverpool, why not in terms thing? yes terms of the money thing? yes more will cost more more police will cost more money. i don't would never money. i don't i would never make know, two two seconds make you know, two two seconds of sort of disagreement on of sort of disagreement there on this already do this though we already do subsidise we have private subsidise them. we have private companies arriva by companies like arriva who, by the involved the way, have people involved in them state owned. you them who are state owned. so you have owned french

have state owned french companies, companies, companies, italian companies, german operate german companies who operate with buses with regards to rail and buses in this country who are privately owned. so we have privately owned. so we can have pubuc public national owners with regards buses . it's regards to rail and buses. it's just they can't be british ones. i think again, think this is a i think again, i think this is a very sensible policy. >> well, there you go. let me know your thoughts that. adam know your thoughts on that. adam on says i'll be on on our website says i'll be on the streets michelle if the streets soon. michelle if the streets soon. michelle if the cost rent, cost of living the cost of rent, cost of living continues it is, it's continues as it is, it's unbelievable. i hope not, adam. i've got to say, david says this whole notion fining rough whole notion of fining rough sleepers , it's a stupid law from sleepers, it's a stupid law from this government, he sleepers, it's a stupid law from this government , he says. sleepers, it's a stupid law from this government, he says. john says, how on earth do people expect any rough sleepers to pay fines of up to 2500 pounds? this is a stupid idea. that's not been thought through. >> now, paul , been thought through. >> now, paul, paul been thought through. >> now, paul , paul says a lot of >> now, paul, paul says a lot of homeless people don't want to go to the shelters because they can't allow drugs or drinks. >> but rob says, i've worked with 16 to 25 year old homeless people for 18 years. drink and drugs is way down the list of issues, says, it's issues, he says, men, it's a breakdown of the family unit.

also, leaving care. so also, people leaving care. so there what do you make there you go. what do you make to now, you have a to it all, now, do you have a boss, colleagues, whatever. when you work, you think you finish work, do you think you finish work, do you think you should from any of them you should hear from any of them again the working day again until the next working day or in california, they want or not? in california, they want to a right to disconnect to have a right to disconnect law. mean bosses law. that would mean that bosses colleagues contact you colleagues cannot contact you outside of working hours. do you think should suit or think we should follow suit or not? two.

hello there. i'm michelle dewberry with you till seven alongside me. kelvin, mackenzie and aaron bastani remain now in california . they are now california. they are now proposing this bill, which basically would give people the right to disconnect. what that would mean is that when you finish work for the day, your boss, your colleagues and all the of it, they can't the rest of it, they can't contact you. they've got to leave alone until your next leave you alone until your next working ahead working day. if this goes ahead and breach that, these working day. if this goes ahead and etc. breach that, these working day. if this goes ahead and etc. could| that, these working day. if this goes ahead and etc. could be at, these working day. if this goes ahead and etc. could be fined. se bosses, etc. could be fined. should follow suit? should we follow suit? >> mackenzie think . i

>> kelvin mackenzie i think. i think absolutely think it's absolutely preposterous. if you if you are a boss, you would only contact similar people of a level. the idea that there was somebody on the shop floor or the receptionist or somebody, somebody you know, not of that level that you were calling them up after work or sending them an email or whatsapp. it is a preposterous. i can't imagine what companies they're thinking about legislating and what kind of people that they had in mind against this. and anyway, the truth about the matter is, if you have a reasonable relationship that person when, when, when they you when, when they contact you would understand that this isn't this isn't designed to destroy your life. and honestly, all this work life balance nonsense, honestly, is like a complete joke. the people and then people will then complain that that that person who has got on because they were bloody hard and they were ringing everybody up and aggravating everybody

should should pay higher taxes because they because they made more money, because they were dnven. more money, because they were driven . we have a completely driven. we have a completely strange view. these days of people who want to get on and this is designed actually to attack those people , italy and attack those people, italy and spain and places like that. >> they already have some kind of similar schemes to this. aaron, where are you on it? >> so this quote here, i think is a reasonable one. work has changed dramatically, drastically , rather to drastically, rather compared to what ten years ago, what it was just ten years ago, smartphones blurred smartphones have blurred the boundanes boundaries between work and home life. workers life. true, true workers shouldn't not shouldn't be punished for not being available 24 over seven if they're not being paid 24 they're not being paid for 24 hours work again, true. for me, it's about the it's all about the implementation. finding implementation. i think finding workplaces let's implementation. i think finding wothowzes let's implementation. i think finding wothow it; let's implementation. i think finding wothow it goes, let's implementation. i think finding wothow it goes, agree let's implementation. i think finding wothow it goes, agree that's implementation. i think finding wothow it goes, agree that if see how it goes, i agree that if you've got a healthy management culture manager who knows culture and a manager who knows to overstep the boundaries, to not overstep the boundaries, there boundaries, this there are boundaries, then this shouldn't happening anyway. shouldn't be happening anyway. often have often many workplaces don't have that, understand the that, so i understand the impetus the conversation. impetus behind the conversation. if you're if you're not line managing anyone, you're managing anyone, if you're just an employee. this is an employee. i think this is true. shouldn't be contacted true. you shouldn't be contacted . you should paid over time.

. you should be paid over time. but you're manager of any but if you're a manager of any kind, if you're line manager, even three people in an organisation, you're organisation, sometimes you're going to have to do stuff outside contracted because outside contracted hours because one people you manage has one of the people you manage has dropped the ball. that's going to i like the spirit to happen. so i like the spirit of it, and i agree that it's highlighting important of it, and i agree that it's highreal:ing important of it, and i agree that it's highreal problem. important and real problem. >> all about is it is it a >> it's all about is it is it a is it personally a problem. is it a problem. who is it? who is it a problem. who is it? who is it doesn't that if their it that doesn't that if their boss unusual reaches out to them because there's been i don't know , you're in the fire service know, you're in the fire service or in the police service or you're but you know, i can understand that, but are you honestly saying that nobody can get in touch with anybody or they're going to say to themselves, well, this is my time, i'll deal with it. >> happy to answer that. >> i'm happy to answer that. >> i'm happy to answer that. >> i'm happy to answer that. >> i think, i said, who do >> i think, like i said, who do you know? what factory do we know? >> i can give you an example. come yeah. so, my sister in come on. yeah. so, my sister in law's is a builder. yeah law's partner is a builder. yeah all project management, he all the project management, he does, management does, all the project management is whatsapp, and i'm thinking is on whatsapp, and i'm thinking that's that's not smart, because at 11:00 night, you're

at ten, 11:00 at night, you're on phone messaging this on a phone messaging this person. person, not person. that person, it's not good good good for you. it's not good for them. think should be, them. and i think you should be, you you should be using you know, you should be using slack or whatever some slack or whatever like some other, know, project other, you know, project management tool. and i think lots of regular people in that kind the trades, kind of industry and the trades, for whatsapp for instance, have whatsapp and they a way which they use it in a way which probably isn't in their as a boss. it's in his boss. it's not in his self—interest. so i think it's a big cultural question is that the mean, the right solution? i mean, that's but i do think that's the point. but i do think there a problem. too many there is a problem. too many people are doing loads of project management now their project management now on their phones midnight bed, and phones at midnight in bed, and it's good. it's not good. >> right. well, i totally >> no. right. well, i totally agree that. so have agree with that. so i have a business partner who lives in america whatsapp him america and he i whatsapp him and he's in las vegas and literally he's in las vegas and literally he's in las vegas and he replies to me and i've sent it as 7:00, you know, like i thought you were 7 am. >> i thought, and it's and it's 1:00 in the morning with him and he replies straight away, i thought he was going to say that you messaged your business partner he totally ignores partner and he totally ignores you the time. partner and he totally ignores you he the time. partner and he totally ignores you he wants me. partner and he totally ignores you he wants overtime pay. >> he wants overtime pay. >> he wants overtime pay. >> i was say. i think >> i was gonna say. i think i
