1:07 pm
was, yeah. so our labour now, the party of patriotism , okay. the party of patriotism, okay. well, let's find out, shall we? let's talk to our gb news political correspondent and total guru. to be honest with you, katherine forster, catherine is this a, some would say, a cynical attempt by keir starmer to, get more votes by by cuddung starmer to, get more votes by by cuddling a flag, i think is the polite way of putting it . polite way of putting it. >> well, certainly labour have undergone a dramatic change, haven't they? from the days under jeremy corbyn, a haven't they? from the days underjeremy corbyn, a man who under jeremy corbyn, a man who didn't seem terribly happy to be british on on many issues. didn't seem terribly happy to be british on on many issues . and british on on many issues. and of course, the labour party really wants to win back many of those voters that they lost to bofis those voters that they lost to boris johnson back in 2019. traditional labour voters who went over to the conservatives, largely because of brexit and many of whom are now very disaffected and labour would dearly like to get those voters back. so i think this is very much an appeal to them . sir keir
1:08 pm
much an appeal to them. sir keir starmer has written in the sunday telegraph today a comment piece talking about how proud he is to be english, saying that the labour party will celebrate saint george's day with enthusiasm , and saying that they enthusiasm, and saying that they are labour is now the true party of english patriotism , he says. of english patriotism, he says. he also says that the conservatives have have lost the right to be seen as patriotic, because, he says, they've denigrated some of our proudest national institutions. he's talking of course, about the national trust, english footballers for taking the knee, the bbc, etc. it's a it's a far cry, isn't it? from back in 2014, emily thornberry and that tweet that she put out of the engush tweet that she put out of the english flags flying on this house with a white van parked outside. she had to resign,
1:09 pm
following that tweet and sir keir starmer is saying he's got no time for those who flinch at displaying our flag to say, catherine, that sir, i'm shocked. >> viewers were looking at just now of that house bedecked in saint george's flag. i mean, that would have been really triggering for thornberry, triggering for emily thornberry, wasn't mean, she was wasn't it? i mean, she was really the working really sneering at the working class van man football class white van man football fan, wasn't she, when she did that a good job? she did go, to be honest you. so keir is be honest with you. so keir is trying reclaim back. trying to reclaim that back. wasn't it just like a few weeks ago members of the labour ago that members of the labour party the party were complaining that the union was, was too obvious union flag was, was too obvious on electioneering, pamphlets ? on electioneering, pamphlets? >> well, yes, exactly. and you're quite right, because many people feel that the, the engush people feel that the, the english flag has sort of been hijacked by the right, if you like. it's not flown in the way that, you know, the americans fly their flag in a very openly patriotic way, and people don't have a problem with it. but yes, you're quite right. although the
1:10 pm
labour leadership is very keen on flying the flag, whether it be the union jack or the saint george's cross , and not everyone george's cross, and not everyone in his party has got the memo because, yeah, you're quite right. it'sjust a because, yeah, you're quite right. it's just a couple of weeks since there was great concern, within the, you know, black, asian and minority ethnic meta wing of labour activists and mps that they were concerned of the branding going into the local elections. the colours , local elections. the colours, the flag that they thought that this was actively going to basically turn off a lot of the voters that they would want to voters that they would want to vote for them, particularly ethnic minority voters , voters ethnic minority voters, voters they were asking basically for different branding. so, you know, activists apparently were refusing in some cases to hand these leaflets out because they felt that it was going to be absolutely unhelpful. so sir keir starmer might be saying this. he might be writing in the daily telegraph, but there's
1:11 pm
certainly plenty of labour activists and a labour mps who are not very happy with this new found, love of the flag. not at all. >> oh, a political party that's divided. there's something we don't hear every single day these days, catherine, thank you very much, katherine forster. these days, catherine, thank you very rnow, katherine forster. these days, catherine, thank you very rnow, we therine forster. these days, catherine, thank you very rnow, we move; forster. these days, catherine, thank you very rnow, we move on, �*ster. these days, catherine, thank you very rnow, we move on, kind of right now, we move on, kind of bits linked. joining me now is our yorkshire and humber reporter, anna riley, who is in the most patriotic town in the north of england. and that's morley . hello there. thank you morley. hello there. thank you very much for joining morley. hello there. thank you very much forjoining us morley. hello there. thank you very much for joining us today, anna. and who's that with you ? anna. and who's that with you? >> good afternoon don. i'm joined by dame andrea jenkins, the mp for morley and outwood, and we've been enjoying the procession. earlier there was 1500 people, going in a procession through morley to the rugby club, where we are now. lots of different sports groups, cubs, guides, a band. it was fantastic. just tell us a little bit about this event and what it
1:12 pm
means to the community. >> first of all, welcome to morley again. this is your second time here, it's our wonderful annual event and it really brings a community together, young and old, as you said, schoolchildren and i mean, even the bbc said it's the most patriotic town in britain, and it certainly is. >> and it's a way to bring the community together and celebrate being english. and i think that's wonderful. >> and we've just been hearing about the comments made by keir starmer saying that conservatives can't call themselves a patriotic party anymore. what do you make of that? >> it's so he is so disingenuous. i mean, he is the let's not forget , he's the one let's not forget, he's the one who tried to stop brexit. i was there in parliament. he was in there in parliament. he was in the opposition voting lobbies, trying to collude to stop brexit. so this is a guy who does not believe in the patriotism of our great country. and it's not the conservative party who actually has had councillors who are having a go
1:13 pm
at people who fly the saint george's flag. it's actually, count pullers from the labour party. and let's not forget emily thornberry . emily thornberry. >> and he's also said conservatives have degradated , conservatives have degradated, national institutions here in britain. what would you say to that? >> well, he wasn't a fan of the, our previous queen as well. that's what i understand. and he backed corbyn, who was a no friend of britain. he was trying to get corbyn into number 10. so i think slippery starmer is not what you see is what you get . what you see is what you get. the labour party are not the party of great britain. definitely not. >> dave. andrew jenkins, thank you so much for sharing and we'll be here at this event throughout the day here in morley celebrating saint george's day. >> thank you much and thank >> thank you very much and thank you dame andrew you very much. dame andrew jenkins, joining this jenkins, for joining us this afternoon. there you heard afternoon. well, there you heard that. now let's see what our panel make of all this. a brilliant panel today, they brilliant panel today, and they are to be joining me in
1:14 pm
are going to be joining me in just a second. but we want your say as well on this one. and thatis say as well on this one. and that is you can go to our website gb news.com. so but but now we have our panel and that is the lovely albie amankona and the equally lovely amy. nicole, thank you very much for joining me today . so we've heard what me today. so we've heard what keir starmer had to say. writing in the telegraph . i mean, who in the telegraph. i mean, who knew that was a labour party who thought had been the thought it had been the observer? you about observer? wouldn't you, about how labour party observer? wouldn't you, about hovwell labour party observer? wouldn't you, about hovwell most labour party observer? wouldn't you, about hovwell most of labour party observer? wouldn't you, about hovwell most of them. r party observer? wouldn't you, about hovwell most of them. whaty observer? wouldn't you, about hovwell most of them. what do is? well most of them. what do you make to what you've heard so far , well, yeah. far, well, yeah. >> writing in the telegraph , i >> writing in the telegraph, i think that tells us what he is trying to achieve . trying to achieve. >> from what he said today. i found it quite, quite surprising , really, because we do have a conflicted relationship with our patron saint. it would just be disingenuous to admit otherwise . disingenuous to admit otherwise. it's not just emily thornberry who felt quite uncomfortable with saint george's flag. it's a quarter of britons who don't feel quite aligned with the saint george's flag for whatever
1:15 pm
reason. so i don't think we should be afraid to say patriotism doesn't begin and end with saint george's flag. and i think keir was exactly right when he said the tories can't possibly be patriotic at the moment because of what they've done to our country. i think the best thing keir starmer could do is instead of talking about the flag, the flag by giving flag, fly the flag by giving britain something to be of britain something to be proud of again giving our country, again and giving us our country, the country back. the problem is we have much to celebrate we don't have much to celebrate at moment. at the moment. >> a like lee anderson >> sound a bit like lee anderson there, i want country back. >> is that what giving us? >> is that what giving us? >> said something to proud of >> said something to be proud of rather banging on about rather than, banging on about the around a flag the sentimentality around a flag that most people ultimately don't like? that most people ultimately dor hold like? that most people ultimately dor hold iite? that most people ultimately dor hold |it seems to work >> hold on. it seems to work quite well in scotland, alby, doesn't what's with doesn't it? what's wrong with the there's the english flag? there's absolutely wrong absolutely nothing wrong with the and i think it's actually >> and i think it's actually quite refreshing to hear a labour talk about labour politician talk about patriotism and talk about the flag in a positive way, and the reason is writing in the reason he is writing in the telegraph is because knows telegraph is because he knows there of disaffected there are lots of disaffected tory voters out there that are looking another party to
1:16 pm
looking for another party to vote at the next general vote for at the next general election. question is, will election. the question is, will they vote for labour, or will they vote for labour, or will they for reform, or will they vote for reform, or will they vote for reform, or will they stick with the conservative party? so this is some clever politicking from keir starmer. but ultimately past having but ultimately his past having been one of jeremy corbyn's cheerleaders, a man who couldn't even sing the national anthem at a britain memorial a battle of britain memorial celebration, his that will always be part of keir starmer's legacy. so my question is, can you actually believe keir starmer when he talks about patriotism, when he talks about the flag being a beacon of britishness , inclusion and so britishness, inclusion and so on? is he actually believable ? on? is he actually believable? >> not. is it because if we look at an image like this , is that a at an image like this, is that a beacon of inclusion? does that feel welcoming? does that make you feel proud to be british or even the emily thornberry one? hold emily thornberry hold on what emily thornberry one this what our one like is this what is our national anthem? i'm not offended, but i can see why. i can see why certain people wouldn't feel particularly comfortable. it, explain wouldn't feel particularly co alongible. it, explain wouldn't feel particularly co along this it, explain wouldn't feel particularly co along this sukh it, explain wouldn't feel particularly co along this sukh becauseilain wouldn't feel particularly
1:17 pm
coalong this sukh because since it along this sukh because since the 1970s this has been hijacked by far right groups. so i think certain people that was celebrating an england football match, but you know that if you saw if you walked into a pub and it looked and it was covered in these, would you welcomed these, would you feel welcomed in pub would you feel in that pub or would you feel slightly threatened? in that pub or would you feel sligwhy threatened? in that pub or would you feel sligwhy threatene i? welcome? >> why wouldn't i feel welcome? >> why wouldn't i feel welcome? >> long as time i'm >> because as long as time i'm not since the 1970s, it's been associated with far right associated with the far right british . but amy, british front, bnp. but amy, i think it's lost touch with who who has told you that, the national front. >> no. who has told you? because i imagine the people you're talking about who feel uncomfortable walking around where there are england flags are probably not white. not are probably not white. i'm not white. i'm asking you, who has told that they feel told you that they feel uncomfortable see uncomfortable when they see in england? >> looking at some >> so i was looking at some polling from yougov about polling today from yougov about why the why people dislike the saint george's and was george's flag. and it was a quarter of and it was quarter of brits, and it was mainly the association with the bnp the national front, and bnp and the national front, and it hijacking of the it was the hijacking of the saint flag. and saint george's flag. and the fact these groups used it, fact that these groups used it, which of not not, not a which is a bit of not not, not a good a taste in people's mouths
1:18 pm
about the flying of that particular. >> shouldn't be reclaimed >> but shouldn't it be reclaimed from those far right? well, you can try to become to become a proper beacon of national unity in the same way that the scottish flag is in the same way that the american flag is in the same way that welsh flag is, same way that the welsh flag is, i don't see why united i don't see why in the united kingdom we have to be. you can be of your flag for any be proud of your flag for any other nation from if other nation apart from if you're english, that's not. if you're english, that's not. if you you've got to you are english, you've got to push away. push it away. >> quite true, because the >> not quite true, because the same were same amount of people were unhappy flying the scottish flag. the welsh flag. the american similar american flag has similar connotations. promotes the connotations. it promotes the idea doesn't it? idea of nationalism, doesn't it? which inclusive . which is not inclusive. >> why is nationalism not inclusive? >> because it says you can have civic nationalism you can civic nationalism or you can have nationalistic have ethno nationalistic nationalism . nationalism. >> it's interesting. they're two very different types of nationalism. speak to the nationalism. if you speak to the scottish national party, what they is civic they talk about is civic nationalism. now, they would say that nationalism inclusive, that nationalism was inclusive, but loads of people are unhappy with with the with the british, with the scottish party , and scottish national party, and don't agree with the nationalism and to the union , but and want to be in the union, but
1:19 pm
they they can disagree with they can they can disagree with what snp think, but they what the snp think, but they still fly the scelta, the flag of scotland. >> what's most people aren't offended by that flag ? offended by that flag? >> well, a quarter of people don't really like that flag ehhen don't really like that flag either. every time try to either. and every time we try to update saint george's flag update the saint george's flag or a little bit or make it a little bit different modernise it, but different or modernise it, but that some but people are that in some way. but people are really that. that in some way. but people are reaikeep that. that in some way. but people are reaikeep talking that. that in some way. but people are reaikeep talking aboutat. that in some way. but people are reaikeep talking about a. that in some way. but people are reaikeep talking about a quarter >> keep talking about a quarter of talking of people without talking about the of who the three quarters of people who actually it. now, surely as actually like it. now, surely as someone believes in someone who believes in democracy, be focusing someone who believes in de|the racy, be focusing someone who believes in de|the majority, be focusing someone who believes in de|the majority, which be focusing someone who believes in de|the majority, which is focusing someone who believes in de|the majority, which is 75%|sing on the majority, which is 75% and 25% of people who and not the 25% of people who dislike but you agreed with and not the 25% of people who dislthat but you agreed with and not the 25% of people who dislthat itbut you agreed with and not the 25% of people who dislthat it needs] agreed with and not the 25% of people who dislthat it needs to greed with and not the 25% of people who dislthat it needs to be ad with me that it needs to be modernised , but that doesn't modernised, but that doesn't mean the flag needs to be changed. i think it can be reclaimed from the far right, and to extents it and i think to many extents it has been reclaimed from far has been reclaimed from the far right. see a saint right. when i see a saint george's i don't think george's cross, i don't think of the bnp, think of england, i the bnp, i think of england, i think home. ithink the bnp, i think of england, i think home. i think of my think of home. i think of my family. i of the rolling family. i think of the rolling green i don't think green hills. i don't think of some skinheads on march. some skinheads on a march. >> think most people do >> i don't think most people do think i think think of those things. i think it need to put more it needs we need to put more effort reclaiming if effort into reclaiming it. if we're going achieve. we're going to achieve.

now, let's go to wales. are you okay flag. oh sorry. okay with that flag. oh sorry. wales, roads in wales are wales, some roads in wales are set to go back to 30 miles an hour after nearly half a million people called for an end to the national 20 mile an hour speed limit. the welsh government's new transport minister. new notice, one, said there will notice, new one, said there will be a change to legislation introduced in september, which changed the speed limit on nearly all roads from 30 miles an hour to 20 miles an hour. but is this a screeching u—turn? that joke's so good. we've used it twice , i'll be coming to you. it twice, i'll be coming to you. i didn't write it. by the way. someone out there did, i'll be coming now. this was, coming to you now. this was, mark drakeford's wasn't mark drakeford's idea, wasn't it? every road in it? that every single road in built now bearing in mind roads in wales, you know, built up area is like literally area in wales is like literally three cottages four sheep. three cottages and four sheep. that's area. not but that's a built up area. not but it is. come on. lots of it is like that. so mark drakeford had this brilliant idea that all roads should 20 miles, nearly roads should be 20 miles, nearly all should be 20 all roads okay, should be 20 miles hour. we've got the miles an hour. now we've got the new they're new people coming in. they're saying, actually, we're going to talk about they talk to people about how they feel this maybe go
1:28 pm
feel about this and maybe go back 30 miles an hour. what back to 30 miles an hour. what do of this? do you make of this? >> and guess what? people don't like surprise. who like it. what a surprise. who could have told? have could have told? who could have told mark drakeford told mark, mark, mark drakeford that 20 that people didn't like 20 mile an speed and actually an hour speed zones and actually they'd an hour they'd rather 30 mile an hour speed now, i think was speed zones? now, i think it was a laudable aim. he wanted to reduce. it was injury reduce. i think it was injury and fatalities on the road and also have some sort of impact on the climate. that is a perfectly reasonable and laudable aim , of reasonable and laudable aim, of course, and we can commend people want to do that. but people that want to do that. but we should trying to reach we should not be trying to reach those targets by restricting people's freedom. and the whole car policy in wales under mark drakeford was absolutely bonkers . it wasn't just these 20 mile an hour speed zones on all major roads . it was also not allowing roads. it was also not allowing any new road infrastructure in wales being built ever again, which is totally nuts. in a country where public transport has not been invested enough in. and actually a lot of people rely on their cars. i think it's one say in london, one thing to say in london, well, can use the tube, you well, you can use the tube, you can use bus. there's no need
1:29 pm
can use the bus. there's no need to even though is to drive even though there is a need for people to drive. it's another to that another thing to say that in wales we're actually rely wales we're actually people rely on so it's no on their cars, so it's no surprise that vaughan surprise that under vaughan gething, first gething, who was the new first minister wales, we've seen a minister of wales, we've seen a screeching u—turn, as put screeching u—turn, as you put it, the policy of mark drakeford. >> we've done the joke right, okay, we've done it. it's gone. okay, on it, yeah, this okay, get on it, yeah, but this is my actually i mean, is my joke. actually i mean, this is the new transport minister, whose name is somewhat hilariously skates. so hilariously is ken skates. so he's skates on he's got his skates on nominative sentence. >> carry on up. >> carry on up. >> gb news, what do you make of this? i mean , they're just. now this? i mean, they're just. now the welsh government are just going to the people and going, okay, what do you want in your area? that makes doesn't it? >> i'm not sure it is a screeching u—turn, you know, because had cross—party because this had cross—party consensus. went consensus. and when it went through the idea of it was that all the roads would be a 20 mile an hour blanket instead 30 an hour blanket instead of 30 mile and then the local mile an hour, and then the local council can apply get them council can apply to get them changed 30 miles an changed back to 30 miles an houn i changed back to 30 miles an hour. i think this kind hour. so i think this was kind of the intention of always the intention that quite roads quite a few of the roads would be back miles an hour,
1:30 pm
be put back to 30 miles an hour, but thinking behind it is but the thinking behind it is all around children's safety , all around children's safety, and understand that. you'd and i understand that. you'd think, 20 mile think, oh, you need 20 mile an hour zones schools, hour zones around schools, places worship hospitals, places of worship and hospitals, but , in reality, it was but actually, in reality, it was the children . the children that the children. the children that were being hit by cars were not being killed in those areas . being killed in those areas. they were more on residential roads. so the places of the fatal were the fatal crashes were not the places you would expect, which led development of this led to the development of this bill, since it's come out bill, but since it's come out and like i said, it had cross—party consensus. it made sense. people people liked the sound of this, but it's kind of been hijacked and funnelled into this supposed war on motorists. and i don't think this necessarily is it's about children's safety. it's about what children are at risk of in wales , which is why it made wales, which is why it made sense when it went through. but the reporting of it has been quite difficult to follow, which has led to things like this where people think it's a screeching u—turn when i'm not convinced it is. >> so are you saying that people
1:31 pm
people actually do like it, but the media is making them think that they don't like it? >> pretty much yes, because i mean, come on. >> i mean, are you mean, come on. >> i mean, are you are mean, come on. >> i mean, are you are you a motorist? do you drive? >> you know, another thing people didn't like, they didn't like seatbelts they first like seatbelts when they first came didn't like not like seatbelts when they first came able didn't like not like seatbelts when they first came able to didn't like not like seatbelts when they first came able to smoke like not like seatbelts when they first came able to smoke in;e not like seatbelts when they first came able to smoke in their car being able to smoke in their car with their kids in the back when it first things take it first came in. things take a bit of a while to adjust to, and this making this wasn't about making everywhere hour. it everywhere 20 miles an hour. it was the default and was making that the default and then like miles an hour then like 30 miles an hour previously then local previously would. and then local council would apply to make certain roads 20 at vast expense, swapping it was swapping that. and it was found that hit child at 20, that if you hit a child at 20, then they are very likely to die. but if you hit a child, sorry, at 30, they're very likely to die. they hit a child at 20. they won't. they'll probably survive it. so was probably survive it. so it was all with children's at all with children's safety at the the thinking the forefront of the thinking behind bill. the forefront of the thinking behirthink bill. the forefront of the thinking behirthink that's >> i think that's understandable, i do understandable, but i do slightly shudder when people bnng slightly shudder when people bring back these arguments to, well, people didn't like seatbelts when they first came in. will say libertarians were
1:32 pm
in. i will say libertarians were wrong when it came to seatbelts. libertarians were wrong when it came to smoking inside. came to smoking bans inside. i think different . this came to smoking bans inside. i think different. this is think this is different. this is not saying that people shouldn't be able to drive at at at all in cities. that would be nuts. it's just saying that actually for motorists, we need to figure out what the balance is between the safety of children or other people and the environment and the costs that come with driving the costs that come with driving the risk associated with that, and freedom the and also the freedom of the driver. you speak to most driver. and if you speak to most drivers, they much prefer driving at 30 an hour than driving at 30 miles an hour than 20 an hour, because 30 20 miles an hour, because 30 miles actually quite miles an hour is actually quite slow. what is slow. and ultimately, what is the nth degree of your argument? do we have zero mile an hour zones because we're so worried about children dying if they're hit cars? hit by cars? >> absolutely. not that's >> absolutely. that's not that's not saying at all. what not what i'm saying at all. what i'm is when loads i'm saying is that when loads and in every expert went through parliament and put their evidence forward , it became evidence forward, it became clear that this is a simple way to child fatalities . to prevent child fatalities. >> i'm sorry, i have to put the brakes see screeching ,

say the conversation or say and join the conversation or message all message on the socials. all right. another one right. this is another one that's really going to get your goat. and amy's go . a british goat. and amy's go. a british teacher has revealed her shock when she actually don't know if it's her. it might be a he. it's an anonymous teacher, has revealed their shock when they asked their pupils they hated asked their pupils if they hated britain 30 them in a britain and 30 of them in a class their hands without class raised their hands without thinking about it immediately. in an after school detention, some muslim pupils even tried to convince a teacher that since the taliban took over afghanistan, it had become a nicer place to live. once the teacher expressed their concern to other teachers, they revealed the pupils pupils had similar thoughts in their classes too . thoughts in their classes too. i'm asking, how have we got in this position? i want to know why do british kids born and brought up over here hate their country so much ? amy, what do country so much? amy, what do you make of this one? >> well , i always you make of this one? >> well, i always approach you make of this one? >> well , i always approach these >> well, i always approach these stories with a little pinch of
1:42 pm
salt because this is an anonymous teacher with one account. just one account, but the, the conclusion of the piece was basically calling for a balanced curriculum and emphasising the importance of, you know, critical thinking about our history, teach the good and the bad, and i hope that, you know, our history isn't so fragile that it can't withstand a bit of critical thinking and discussion, some of the things in it were concerning, but there was a there was a section here, many of the boys i teach had shocking views on women. then it says one yean views on women. then it says one year, eight people regularly interrupts lessons with diatribes about how western society is brainwashing young men into becoming feminine . men into becoming more feminine. now, he could have just been watching leo kearse on a saturday night really with that. and one of the lads i teach actually, andrew che is their hero. one of the lads i teach think should have fewer think women should have fewer rights spend rights than men and spend citizenship arguing that citizenship lessons arguing that wives should work. now, wives should not work. now, that's closely associated that's also closely associated with this whole christian, traditional trad wife movement.
1:43 pm
you know, you could have been watching, but amy knac.com , watching, but amy knac.com, they're not talking about christianity here, are they? >> because if we and >> because because if we and i take your point, all the abrahamic religions actually , if abrahamic religions actually, if you look at the scripture, have quite regressive views quite similar regressive views on women and gay people and so on women and gay people and so on so forth. but actually, on and so forth. but actually, in this specific the in this specific example, the anonymous teacher is saying that the majority of the people in this class are of the muslim faith, and they believe things like , actually, things have got like, actually, things have got better for girls in afghanistan since the taliban took over. so, so let's let's actually talk about the group of people that are being spoken about in this article . we can't away from article. we can't shy away from things happening and things which are happening and actually , i think the most actually, i think the most interesting part of this article aside from the very, almost, obvious and banal views of what perhaps devout people of faith have, is that they talk about one of the reasons why they hate the united kingdom and britain being the abuse that they face in their day to day lives. and i
1:44 pm
think that's actually quite interesting. it's not going to be case of, well, if be it's not a case of, well, if these believed in these people, believed in different , they wouldn't different things, they wouldn't feel this way. well, actually, it's a case of perhaps the, the, the population having to treat people in a more fair and inclusive manner so they feel more positively about the place they live. it's a multi—pronged approach which is going to solve this problem. it comes from a better national curriculum. it comes from people actually being more proud of the country, which has given them so much. but it also comes from people being less discriminatory to people that move to this country. and then hopefully we can find a way forward where no child hates the country that they're born in because is a fact that because it is a fact that britain a better country to britain is a better country to live than almost any country live in than almost any country in the entire world. and we are all lucky to live in this great country. >> i think you are absolutely right and one of the things that i would like to pick up on that you said is in the article, the writer admits that a muslim teacher told me that had
1:45 pm
teacher told me that she had been called terrorist in the been called a terrorist in the street, and the children will have similar harassment have faced similar harassment because predominantly have faced similar harassment because school. predominantly have faced similar harassment because school. and)redominantly have faced similar harassment because school. and they minantly have faced similar harassment because school. and they describe muslim school. and they describe how the children's childhoods were spent watching what was going on in wars around the world, such as the iraq war, and then the hostile environment policies of theresa may's government , brexit and now the government, brexit and now the rwanda plan and all of these three things were contributing to the idea that the children were that the children had a dislike of britain. so i think you're absolutely right that it does. it does come back to the way that we integrate and welcome people when they come to live in the uk at the point is, though, they choose to come and live in the uk, albie, they do choose to come and live in the uk and i think what's interesting actually, is that in my grandfather's generation of migrants, when my grandfather came here in the late 1950s, and the windrush generation, that that came to the uk at a similar
1:46 pm
amount of time, they faced horrendous discrimination . horrendous discrimination. >> they would never have taught their children to hate this country. my father and his siblings don't hate this country, though they country, even though when they were growing up in the 60s, 70s and would faced and 80s, they would have faced horrendous racism. and think horrendous racism. and i think there is difference, perhaps there is a difference, perhaps with the more recent waves of migration that we have seen, not just from commonwealth countries and the waves of migration that we in the past we saw in the past from commonwealth countries where they from very they were coming from very culturally similar countries to the united kingdom to immigration now, or actually there is less of that similarity, and there seems to be a lot more antipathy towards british values. and integrating into british society and becoming british, which is something that people wanted to do when they moved here in the mid 20th century. >> but equally, don't you think that our government will have a role to play in integration as much they do individual does, much as they do individual does, and of stripped and that's kind of been stripped back past, the past back over the past, the past government. not government. so if we're not providing things like english
1:47 pm
language classes and then we become surprised why people struggle to integrate, there's more government can be more that the government can be doing as much as doing to integrate as much as the the problem with this >> the problem i have with this particular is we're not particular story is we're not actually kids the actually teaching kids the bafics actually teaching kids the basics. one of the basics. i mean, one of the shocking thought shocking things i thought is that a year student on the that a year eight student on the black that's a thing. black tudors, that's a thing. evidently, pupil raised evidently, one pupil raised their say, were the their hand and say, who were the tudors? we're actually tudors? so we're not actually teaching history teaching the basics of history before lecturing about how before we're lecturing about how racist country is. racist this country is. >> so hard, though, because >> it's so hard, though, because my son just brought his history home, where he's nine years old, and it just feels like there is no rhyme or reason to why certain history is so vast. of course, that it doesn't always make sense when they come home and he says, oh, i'm doing. i need to know why henry the eighth cut his six wives heads off. and i'm thinking, well, what relevance is that going to have helping understand have to helping him understand the today? have to helping him understand the well, today? have to helping him understand the well, it'siay? have to helping him understand the well, it's separation of >> well, it's separation of church and state. the church and state. that's the important happened church and state. that's the import.the happened church and state. that's the import.the era.�*|appened during the tudor era. >> of that >> he doesn't take any of that from way he's learning it. >> he doesn't take any of that frorwe'reway he's learning it. >> he doesn't take any of that frorwe're not he's learning it. >> he doesn't take any of that frorwe're not here learning it. >> he doesn't take any of that frorwe're not here forrning it. >> he doesn't take any of that frorwe're not here for aing it. >> he doesn't take any of that frorwe're not here for a history >> we're not here for a history lesson, evidently. thank you

2:08 pm
pro—palestinian rallies. the latest scandal embroiling the met is the force's reaction after an officer used the firm openly jewish, to describe an anti—semitism activist, gideon falter, who was stopped literally just crossing the road near a pro—palestinian march by the officer who described him as quite openly jewish. that phrase is going to go down there, isn't it? the force has since apologised. twice. now let's talk to jubilant jews. political guru. katherine forster to find out what exactly. suella and priti patel has also stuck a roaring on this one, hasn't she, catherine, what's what's been what have been saying? what have they been saying? >> indeed. well, former >> yes, indeed. well, former home suella braverman home secretary suella braverman has been saying very strongly that she thinks the met police, head sir mark rowley should now go. of course, we know she's not been much of a fan of his for some time now because she called these marches hate marches. she was very critical of them and of
2:09 pm
the police's handling of them back when she was home secretary and before she was indeed sacked. now, another former home secretary, priti patel, also condemning what happened and the way that the met police has deau way that the met police has dealt with it. the government , dealt with it. the government, for their part, not going that far , and the energy secretary, far, and the energy secretary, clare pochettino, this morning , clare pochettino, this morning, telling camilla tominey that, yes , obviously this had been yes, obviously this had been badly handled, that it was a misstep, but stopping short of calling for his, for his resignation, but certainly he's in a lot of hot water because the chap the centre of this row, gideon falter , has written in gideon falter, has written in the sunday times saying he must quit the british board of depufies quit the british board of deputies of jews and also will be meeting with him this week, as will policing minister chris philp. so it will be very
2:10 pm
interesting to see what emerges. but clearly this has been very, very bad , poorly handled, not very bad, poorly handled, not only by the officer in the beginning because he said the man was openly jewish and threatening to arrest him rather than supporting him and keeping him safe . rafe, but also since him safe. rafe, but also since then, with the sort of apologies non—apologies the original so—called apology that they put out, basically said , we've seen out, basically said, we've seen a rising trend of people going along to where they know these marches are happening, and videoing them. and this, you know, is deliberate provocation . know, is deliberate provocation. obviously, that went down like a ton of bricks. they then apologised for that comment. and now sir mark rowley has also said personally reiterate our apologies. but he has said our officers will continue to police with courage , empathy and with courage, empathy and impartiality. the problem is
2:11 pm
that there's many people that simply think that the police are not being impartial in the policing of these protests, and many british jews really feeling that they are not being supportive and that they cannot safely walk the streets of london on those days. >> catherine, sir mark rowley has been summoned to a meeting with chris philip, the policing minister, who himself has said he was deeply concerned by the met's handling of counter—protest. >> what do we think is going to come out of this? >> i suspect that the government will reiterate the fact that the laws are in place to deal with these protests , and that they these protests, and that they expect them to be dealt with robustly , i think part of the robustly, i think part of the problem is, however, a police resources and b simply the numbers of people on these protests , i've covered a lot of protests, i've covered a lot of them. and as they said to this chap the other day in another clip that i've seen, they said to him, there's so many of the protesters and there's not that many of us. basically, if they
2:12 pm
attack you, we can't guarantee that we can keep you safe. now i was had a lot of abuse. i'm not jewish, but i was reporting on the protest for gb news three weeks ago , and we were given weeks ago, and we were given a lot of abuse on air. there was a policeman standing directly behind me. i'd asked him to stand there and he did nothing. we went round the corner afterwards with the police, and they basically said to me in the camera person and the back watcher, you're obviously not popular here. we advise you to go home for your own safety. they did not say you're here to do your job. we will make sure that we keep you safe. they said, go home for your own safety. i have to say though, yesterday i was at a pro—israeli, demonstration . a pro—israeli, demonstration. a few dozen jewish people and supporters of israel saying we will not be cowed. we're going to stand up and be counted. there was a small counter protest of pro—palestinian supporters . they were pretty supporters. they were pretty much outnumbered, but the police
2:13 pm
there were very good. and me and there were very good. and me and the cameraman did have their full support. so, you know, it's a mixed picture, but very difficult for the police. and i think they certainly are coming in for a huge amount of criticism. >> katherine forster thank you very much indeed for that. now let's see what my panel make of that. i'm joined today by author and broadcaster amy nicole turner and gb news, host of the saturday five albie amankona , saturday five albie amankona, now, this story has, sent shockwaves, i think, through through most of the population on this one. you don't have to be jewish to be upset by this story. and as you've heard, catherine saying there as well, i think the fact that now march is influencing the british is of influencing the british press media from press and the media from reporting on what's going on, i find almost as worrying as find that almost as worrying as the anti semitism aspect of this, sir mark rowley, he's this, but sir mark rowley, he's the buck stops with him. he's head of the met. so should he go over albee i never know over this albee i never know what good comes of calling for people to resign to be honest.
2:14 pm
>> i mean, what good would come from it if we. if sir mark rowley resigned that rowley resigned tomorrow, that would another crisis would just create another crisis in not sure he's in the met. i'm not sure he's not that long. not been in the job that long. it's that long since it's not long. that long since he over from dame cressida he took over from dame cressida dick, believe. obviously dick, i believe. look, obviously there are issues with how these protests are being policed. it is totally wrong that colleagues like catherine are unable to report on big national events because the police aren't doing theirjobs because the police aren't doing their jobs properly . because the police aren't doing theirjobs properly . it because the police aren't doing theirjobs properly. it is totally unacceptable that many jewish londoners , and indeed jewish londoners, and indeed jewish londoners, and indeed jewish people across the country, feel that they can't go into the city centres of major cities like london, manchester, birmingham at the weekend because of some of minority because of some of the minority of people at these pro—palestine protests who are being anti—semitic and causing trouble. those people need to be policed properly . i do not go as policed properly. i do not go as far as suella in saying that these are hate marches and that they need to be shut down. there are vast , vast, vast are the vast, vast, vast majority of those people simply want ceasefire . and it is want a ceasefire. and it is
2:15 pm
totally right and totally british that we have freedom of assembly and freedom of association this country . and association in this country. and i feel very uncomfortable if the state were to encroach that. state were to encroach on that. but it absolutely and but it is absolutely proper and right breaking the right that anyone breaking the law feels the full force of the law. and that's not happening at the moment . the moment. >> gideon falter, who has >> and gideon falter, who has given interview the sunday given an interview to the sunday times, he was the chap involved in this incident, by way, in this incident, by the way, the chap who was stopped the jewish chap who was stopped from road. from crossing the road. basically, a march basically, there was a march going has said going on nearby. he has said that it time for that maybe it is time for a macpherson style report. you know, stephen lawrence style into institutional racism. that was he has said that maybe it's time for a report into how the police are handling the level of anti—semitism that has arisen because of these marches . because of these marches. >> yeah, with this story of that gideon shared, there was another side to that story, in the sense that people that were at the protest at the same time as him
2:16 pm
said that he was coming from the israel counter—protest. and so the police were concerned for his safety , that if he were to his safety, that if he were to go across the road, considering where he'd come from, they were shouting slogans like terrorist sympathisers at the other side . sympathisers at the other side. so they were concerned for his safety. at that moment because of what precluded that video , he of what precluded that video, he says that he was just, attending synagogue and walking home from synagogue. i know that is what he said, but he's also filming it, and there are witnesses around that have said he was coming from a more inflammatory, set long before he appeared in front of that police officer. now, what? that police officer said was obviously really inappropriate, but the police have such a hard job at the moment, and i think suella and other critics are , you know, other critics are, you know, words wield immense power. and
2:17 pm
when you referring to the legitimate democratic marches as mobs and hate marches to the point that , it's not just point that, it's not just anti—semitism that's gone up anti—semitism that's gone up anti islamophobic islamophobia has gone up by 335% since october the 7th. there's been reports of muslim primary schools having to take extra security measures. just as there have been at jewish primary schools. so it's a it's a very fractious time on both sides, of this conflict, which i think the police are doing what they can to keep , to keep everyone safe. to keep, to keep everyone safe. but 66% of the british public are in favour of a ceasefire. so really , this riotous protest really, this riotous protest happen when they feel out of line with the line of the government. so surely something needs to change. the government's stance on gaza needs to go further to listen to what is the biggest anti—war
2:18 pm
protest since that against the iraq war? >> and if we i mean, going back to gideon's story, if we take him for his word and i see no reason why we shouldn't , you reason why we shouldn't, you know, he was the one that was stopped by the police , probably stopped by the police, probably for his own safety. this is what the police have said. but meanwhile, the people on the march up to him with march were coming up to him with their covered, their faces covered, shouting repeatedly scum, scum, repeatedly vie scum, scum, scum and calling him a nazi. and are calling him a nazi. disgusting. lock them up, nazis and scum now! so why when gideon, who didn't actually say anything, is the one that is being stopped by the police ? being stopped by the police? >> look, it's obviously a situation that should have been handled more differently. but ultimately, the police do have a very difficult job in these protests. i remember! very difficult job in these protests. i remember i went to the during the black lives matter protest in 2020. there was what was called at the time, a white lives matter protest, and i went along to the protest just to see what it was like. now the police didn't need to say you're visibly black, say to me, you're visibly black, what doing here? but what are you doing here? but police look at me thinking,
2:19 pm
police did look at me thinking, well, you doing for well, what are you doing for here safety? and here your own safety? and i imagine a similar thought was going on here, but they just handled the situation improperly and badly. people do. the police do have a difficult job. should they have handled the situation differently ? yes. but ultimately differently? yes. but ultimately do i think these protests should be going ahead? the majority of the people at these protests are not breaking the law. they should be allowed to go ahead. but the people who are breaking the should dealt with the law should be dealt with with full force of the law. with the full force of the law. and suella braverman with the full force of the law. and when suella braverman with the full force of the law. and when sheella braverman with the full force of the law. and when she talks'averman with the full force of the law. and when she talks aboutan with the full force of the law. and when she talks about two right when she talks about two tier at tier policing. that happens at some protests. you some of these protests. if you remember some the remember some of the anti—lockdown protests were anti—lockdown protests that were going were treated going on, they were treated a lot harshly than the blm lot more harshly than the blm protests that were going on at the same time. why is that? >> , with when we're >> however, with when we're talking about anti—semitism within within these pro—palestine marches, it is also true to say there are plenty of jewish groups and jewish individuals on the marches wearing very similar to what gideon was wearing, and
2:20 pm
have reported absolutely no trouble. so i think it's really difficult when with the police, when we have this culture of , of when we have this culture of, of publishing these out—of—context video clips and they just serve to, to make the, the police job even more difficult. >> i will also say that i don't think suella braverman interventions on this are helpful at all. it always sits in the throat for me when suella braverman who i would describe as the most racially insensitive politician in british politics at the moment, talks about racism, discrimination and anti—semitism. this is a woman who defended the right of someone who owned a pub to have a in their pub, and suggested that people that were offended by that were some sort of woke virtue. signallers and now she's talking about racism and discrimination. it just it really, really sticks in the throat. i just wish she was i just wish she was consistent. we have racism and discrimination in our society. we should seek to root it out against any group that suffers from racism and discrimination , not pitting one
2:21 pm

2:28 pm
but yeah, i don't understand why any child needs a phone in school . really? and i think most school. really? and i think most schools have banned, have banned phones, so it doesn't really need legislation necessarily around it because i think most schools are taking the initiative to, to ban phones. >> the way legislation stands at the moment is down to each school to come up with its own, its own, routine as to how they deal problem. but i've deal with this problem. but i've never heard this before. i never heard this one before. i mean, literally kids at mean, that is literally kids at school for 12 hours. >> doesn't seem overly >> it doesn't seem overly practical , though, does it? we practical, though, does it? we can't even enough teachers can't even get enough teachers as the 9 to 3. so how as it is for the 9 to 3. so how are we? how is it going to work? i think it's a great idea. in principle. >> i can't how it's actually >> i can't see how it's actually just get little boy just want to get your little boy off for 12 hours a off your hands for 12 hours a day. yeah. >> alby, do you make of >> alby, what do you make of this? >> think em- wm- this? >> think is a brilliant >> i think this is a brilliant idea. i mean, look, i do think we actually legislation we actually need legislation to protect children from smartphones, meant for smartphones, which are meant for adults. with adults. you know, i'm with miriam we miriam cates on this. i think we should smart phones should be banning, smart phones for the age of 16 for children under the age of 16 because robbing people of because it is robbing people of their childhoods, it is their childhoods, and it is
2:29 pm
driving crisis of mental driving a crisis of mental health in our young people. we see these these really quite, quite, quite profound levels of depression , varne, anxiety, depression, varne, anxiety, different types of body dysmorphia in young people. and it almost correlates exactly with the introduction of smartphones. now, correlation doesn't mean causation . we don't doesn't mean causation. we don't know that smartphones are causing all of these mental health issues in our young people. but i do think it's interesting that it does seem to correlate with the introduction of smartphones. was of smartphones. and i was reading a statistic the other day was something like day where it was something like a third of children under the age of five have access to a smart three year olds, three year olds, three year olds are given smart, which is nuts. you just think what parent would give their child a smartphone. and actually, if legislation is needed parents giving and actually, if legislation is needychildren parents giving and actually, if legislation is needychildren a parents giving and actually, if legislation is needychildren a smartphoneig and actually, if legislation is needychildren a smartphone , their children a smartphone, then so be it. >> but is it smart phones or is it social media? because i personally can't see a problem with a child having a smartphone from a young age because they kind of learn their way around
2:30 pm
the technology, how to google things, whatever. things, take pictures, whatever. but problem with them but i do see a problem with them having media accounts. having social media accounts. >> then we're >> but then if we're reading this what actually is this article, what actually is happening that kids are not happening is that kids are not learning social skills. so instead of talking to each other and playing with their friends, they're playing video games onune they're playing video games online with people in different countries, and so they're not actually able to interact and learn that social interaction that you do at school. that's an important of it's important part of school. it's not just about getting a's not just all about getting a's in or a—levels. it's in your gcses or a—levels. it's also about learning to be also about learning how to be a human, with people . human, interacting with people. they're actually able to do they're actually not able to do that they're so that because they're so engrossed in their phones. and i just is a ticking just think this is a ticking time bomb. and we'll back time bomb. and we'll look back in 30 years and think, why in 30 years time and think, why didn't act quicker? didn't we act quicker? >> this >> yeah. it's interesting this headmaster >> yeah. it's interesting this headmashimself, the children himself, by the way, that he that that said, he noticed that pupils were growing at pupils were growing worse at making holding conversations. >> and the other thing i found worrying that he worrying in this was that he found of the most shocking found some of the most shocking things ever seen phones things i've ever seen on phones here confiscated his here confiscated from his pupils, pupils , pupils, including pupils, blackmailing strangers and even catfishing one another. and
2:31 pm
these are these are, i mean, kids from sort of like the age of 11 upwards. i mean, it's just i think it's hard for this generation of parents, though, because we didn't grow up with phones or smartphones or social media. >> i think i've got a nine year old and i'm quite young. having him and i was 18 when facebook came out. we don't know how to navigate this as, as kids. and the problem the kids being brought up now are digital natives. they're the first generation that have grown up from with social media and from birth with social media and smartphones. they're almost smartphones. so they're almost at this. and at the coalface of this. and while we try and work, that's the with actually the the problem with actually the banning or social banning the phones or the social media. >> f- f— f smarter than we >> they're much smarter than we are well, everyone's much are at it. well, everyone's much smarter than right? we smarter than me, right? okay. we have on. unfortunately, have to move on. unfortunately, i'm this news i'm dawn neesom this is gb news sunday, more sunday, and there's plenty more coming show, but coming up on today's show, but first, news with first, here's the news with cameron. >> thanks, dawn. it's 231. i'm cameron walker here in the gb

costing us upwards of £30 million. now, and colin says the problem with the police is they are not upholding the law. rather they apply it subjectively in a way that placates and maintains the status quo. acts of violence and incitement have to be dealt with properly and not ignored. many are protesting peacefully, but those who are not must be brought account . that is the brought to account. that is the problem, isn't does seem problem, isn't it? it does seem to be, one law for one, one law for another two tier policing. but i have to read this one out as well. this is darren. hey, darren. this is the channel of free yes. why are the free speech. yes. why are the most things i'm. why do you never read anything from me? well. hello, darren. i've just read that out. that's from you. and i've read it out, so any case, don't be like darren. get in i'll read it promise. >> darren grimes. no. hey, darren. >> look, that's how you do it, right? gbnews.com/yoursay join the conversation. or our socials @gbnews. right. it's very simple and we will read them out, but we run out of time.

unfortunately, now, now looking forward to summer holiday this yean forward to summer holiday this year, right? might be year, right? you might be speaking soon. eco groups year, right? you might be spereportedly;oon. eco groups year, right? you might be spe reportedly planning groups year, right? you might be spe reportedly planning to�*ups are reportedly planning to inflict travel chaos inflict widespread travel chaos across the world this summer by getting major airports getting jobs at major airports and then storming runways and planes. they are hoping to take advantage flight schedules to advantage of flight schedules to wreak havoc. maximum disruption possible, but security experts are warning of a major threat to passenger safety at one of the busiest times of the year. let's see what my panel make of this one, i tell you what, right? if they start this on wednesday, when i'm going on a much needed holiday, giving you all a break as well? by the way, i won't be responsible for actions. i'm responsible for my actions. i'm sorry. is not winning me sorry. this is not winning me over their albie. not over to their cause, albie. not at all. over to their cause, albie. not at ill. over to their cause, albie. not at (i was just thinking. i'm >> i was just thinking. i'm going the may, >> i was just thinking. i'm goini the may, >> i was just thinking. i'm goini hope the may, >> i was just thinking. i'm goini hope this he may, >> i was just thinking. i'm goini hope this isn't may, >> i was just thinking. i'm goini hope this isn't happening and i hope this isn't happening at may either. lots at the end of may either. lots of around the country, of people around the country, you know, go on holiday least you know, go on holiday at least once a year. and it is wonderful that with cheap flights, it's enabled people of classes to enabled people of all classes to travel world and travel around the world and enjoy used to be the enjoy what used to be the reserve of rich. when reserve of the rich. so when
2:42 pm
these eco zealots talk about disrupting the holidays of ordinary, hard working men and women, women up and down the united kingdom, it's really not going to win them any favours with that group of people . and with that group of people. and actually a country which is generally quite in favour of net zero and quite in favour of decarbonising and quite invading in favour of the green revolution. this is just putting people off when actually the united kingdom has done more than almost any g7 economy to decarbonise . why didn't they go decarbonise. why didn't they go and do this in china? why didn't they go and do this in america? >> why don't they it in china? >> but it's a serious point, amy. it's just the uk makes up 1% of global emissions. >> uk and also if you take it oh well now we're going to go off on a tangent. but you know stick to this tangent i prefer this one. >> one. >> okay, fine. >> okay, fine. >> we are doing a lot. you're right. but in january we handed out new and gas licences. out 24 new oil and gas licences. now that it seems counterproductive to where we're at with the national grid and
2:43 pm
the transfer into renewable energies, it just seems at odds with our efforts to be opening new oil and gas licences. but i've always been a fan of just stop oil. i what i admire , i stop oil. i what i admire, i admire the push that they have and their belief in their cause. but but they've lost me even with this one limey amy, because airports, airports make people really anxious. okay? a lot of people don't already have enough , going on without the need for this . and this feeds into the this. and this feeds into the whole thing that people will now be all saying eco zealots , eco be all saying eco zealots, eco terrorists, because they're going into an airport and disrupting flights, which when they had the when they, when they, for example, went into the art galleries through the tomato
2:44 pm
soup that at the art that that was really impactful because it got all the press, but it didn't really disrupt ordinary people. this will cause massive disruption to ordinary people and be scary. right so i don't think they needed to do this, but i mean, there is as are other ways to get press and get your message across. i think, which they've proved as security experts saying, experts are actually saying, this is this is actually stopping them becoming eco zealots it to eco terrorists. >> it's actually dangerous. >> it's actually dangerous. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> we're putting their lives at risk and the lives of passengers. i mean, running out on runway , i just wonder, on a runway, i just wonder, terrified, what their cause is because ultimately, as i mentioned before, the general pubuc mentioned before, the general public are vastly in favour of decarbonisation. >> so i just i don't understand the point of what they're trying to do. we already live in a country we do. we already live in a country which has decarbonised more than almost any g7 economy in the any other g7 economy in the world. take point about world. i take your point about oil licences. maybe
2:45 pm
oil and gas licences. maybe they're that, that oil and gas licences. maybe thebut that, that oil and gas licences. maybe thebut even that, that oil and gas licences. maybe thebut even but that, that oil and gas licences. maybe thebut even but even that, that oil and gas licences. maybe thebut even but even amy,, that oil and gas licences. maybe thebut even but even amy, even is. but even but even amy, even amy, the most ardent green scientists and economists out there, would tell you that we are going to need oil and gas for quite some time before , for quite some time before, before we can fully transition to green energy and even after that, we'll need that for when the wind isn't blowing and the sunisnt the wind isn't blowing and the sun isn't shining for baseload. if we're not going to get that from nuclear. so i just wish people on green revolution people on the green revolution side argument would be side of the argument would be honest for oil honest about the need for oil and gas, even after we achieve net zero, because it's going to be important for baseload. and actually what a lot of people on the green revolution side of things are, is they're anti—nuclear power. so they're anti—nuclear power. so they're anti any source of power which can be guaranteed, which is either nuclear or oil and gas. they're anti it. it's impractical amy. >> probably they, they would respond and say it's the government who aren't always completely honest. because if on the one hand it's true we are doing a lot to decarbonise. but then other hand they're then on the other hand they're
2:46 pm
opening there. they're giving out new oil and gas licenses, and then they're trying to make pubuc and then they're trying to make public perception think that this will bring down your bills. >> so is it better to get oil and gas from our own oil and gas fields, russia ? fields, or from russia? >> well, it's a global market, so it doesn't really make difference. >> it does make a difference because the way that gas is transported if condense transported is if you condense it into liquefied natural natural , and if we're natural gas, and if we're getting oil, if we're getting gas from the north sea, we're actually most likely to sell it to the european market, not ship it over to china or over to america. >> the way that the picture is painted is it's seen, oh, we're going to get our oil and gas from the north sea. but we are to use that directly. that's not what we're going to it's what we're going to do. it's going to into a global market. >> we're going to it back >> we're going to buy it back and sold in europe, essentially, potentially could sold potentially could could be sold anywhere imagine, going potentially could could be sold anywhythe imagine, going potentially could could be sold anywhythe oilagine, going potentially could could be sold anywhythe oil and a, going potentially could could be sold anywhythe oil and gas going potentially could could be sold anywhythe oil and gas made going to use the oil and gas made in in the uk , which isn't actually in the uk, which isn't actually what's won't what's going on. and it won't lower your bills, but it will secure our energy. >> it's also about energy >> and it's also about energy security energy security and energy independence, about
2:47 pm
independence, not just about prices. and in a world where we are seeing geopolitics tension make it more difficult to import things from overseas, i think it is prudent and proper that europe makes the most of its own natural resources, and that includes north sea oil and gas. >> in any case, wednesday , >> in any case, wednesday, heathrow don't just don't. all right. and may end of may. >> end of may heathrow don't even think about it. >> not if you not if you want to live. any case. i'm sorry. i'm threatening people this afternoon. in any case, i'm dawn neesom being very violent, aren't this gb news sunday aren't i? this is gb news sunday and more up and there's lots more coming up on show, so cheap as on today's show, not so cheap as chips. price of potatoes has chips. the price of potatoes has soared as this year's heavy rainfall people in the rainfall hits people in the pocket, or your bag of spuds be worth its weight in gold. all of that, and much more to come. this news, britain's news this is gb news, britain's news channel
