and we've got the government. and we've got the shocking story of the bbc licence collectors chasing a woman for non—payment of the licence fee. when they discovered she had terminal cancer instead of writing it off, they fast tracked her prosecution to convict her before her cancer killed her. is it time to kill off the bbc licence fee and joe biden says he isn't going anywhere. he's made excuses for his erratic behaviour, saying that he had a cold but insists insists he's still the man to beat trump. however, he then said he's proud to be the first black woman president. it's like me filling in an arts council funding application. this is your saturday night showdown . saturday night showdown. and discussing all of tonight's

topics . joining me tonight are topics. joining me tonight are my brilliant panel over there . my brilliant panel over there. they are comedians, paul cox, the people's gammon and bruce devlin. should we call you the people's clootie dumpling.7 i don't know, that's seems cruel, but anyway, before before we crack on with the show, let's get your latest news headlines first from tatiana sanchez . first from tatiana sanchez. >> leo. thank you. the top story this evening england are through to the euro 2024 semi—finals after beating switzerland on penalties. the game ended one one after extra time with both sides unable to break the deadlock. england went one nil down following the opening goal by breel embolo on the 75th minute, but they managed to claw their way back into the game on their way back into the game on the 80th minute, bukayo saka scoring that goal to break that deadlock. the three lions faced the winner of turkey v the netherlands, who are also playing tonight. in other news,

the keir starmer says rishi sunak's plans to send migrants to rwanda is now dead and buried. speaking after the first meeting of his new cabinet, the prime minister ruled out the controversial scheme, which had failed to deport a single migrant. he also said labour's election victory has given them a clear mandate to govern in all four corners of the united kingdom . kingdom. >> look, the rwanda scheme was dead and buried before it started. it's never been a deterrent , look at the numbers deterrent, look at the numbers that have come over in the first six and a bit months of this yeah six and a bit months of this year. they are record numbers. thatis year. they are record numbers. that is the problem that we are inheriting. it has never acted as a deterrent , inheriting. it has never acted as a deterrent, almost the opposite, because everybody has worked out, particularly the gangs that run this, that the chance of ever going to rwanda was so slim, less than i. >> the leader of reform uk, nigel farage, has reacted by claiming labour will struggle to deal with the issue of illegal

immigration. >> what he said he would do it. at least he's kept a promise, i suppose. look, rwanda was never going to work. what keir starmer is proposing , which is, you is proposing, which is, you know, tackle the gangs well , know, tackle the gangs well, frankly, you know, the last government were doing that for the last few years. it's not going to work at the minute. it's wild and windy, but we do have some pretty strong first hand accounts that as soon as we get a calm spell, they'll be crossing the english channel in their thousands. and let's face it, keir starmer does not have a plan to deal with it. >> former chancellor jeremy hunt >> former chancellorjeremy hunt has ruled himself out of standing for the tory leadership. when asked, he told gb news that the time has passed. he managed to hold on to his seat, godalming and ash and has previously tried twice to become conservative leader. meanwhile suella braverman has failed to rule herself out , failed to rule herself out, simply saying that there were no announcements and the princess of wales has paid tribute to andy murray, saying he should be so very proud after he missed

out on a final match at wimbledon. the former world number one, murray's wimbledon career is now over after emma raducanu pulled out of their mixed doubles clash with stiffness in her wrist. the 37 year old scot made his final appearance at the all england club on thursday , when he lost club on thursday, when he lost alongside older brother jamie in the men's doubles. he'll head off on holiday now with his family before preparing for the final event of his tennis career at the olympics in paris. final event of his tennis career at the olympics in paris . and at the olympics in paris. and those are the latest gb news headlines. for now, i'm tatiana sanchez. more from me in an hour for the very latest gb news direct to your smartphone, sign up to news alerts by scanning the qr code, or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . forward slash alerts. >> thank you tatiana and welcome to the saturday night showdown. we've got the elections craziest moments coming right up. and we're going to look at what

labour plan to do next. everyone's talking about reform taking votes away from the tories. the other big stories of this election were the snp being wiped off the map and anti—israel independent candidates taking votes from laboun candidates taking votes from labour, with a few of them beating labour and getting elected. and it wasn't always a pleasant, dignified process. labour's jess phillips just managed to hold on to her seat in birmingham, despite a candidate from george galloway's workers party coming very close to unseating her. she was heckled as she accepted. take a look at this . this this election look at this. this this election has been . has been. >> can you throw them out.7 >> can you throw them out.7 >> but we have a few speeches . >> but we have a few speeches. >> but we have a few speeches. >> you heard that right.7 she demanded that the islamist chanting abuse at her are thrown out. where do you want them removed to, jess? rwanda. your party just closed that down. in fact, your party invited this ideology into the country and stops any efforts to restrict

them coming in. so enjoy the consequences of your own opinions. and while labour were the winners overall, it wasn't all good news for them. they lost four seats to muslim independents, who campaigned on a pro gaza platform in leicester south. around 30% of the electorate are muslim and it's been held by labour's jonathan ashworth for 13 years. he lost it to shaukat adam, who declared this is for gaza. as britain's britain's muslim population grows faster than other demographics, will we see similar candidates campaigning successfully along sectarian lines in the future? well, here's candidate akhmed yakoob, who came pretty close to unseating the labour candidate to us , to the people of to us, to the people of birmingham , because the people birmingham, because the people of birmingham were united under the banner of la ilaha illallah, who muhammad rasulullah and that is the banner that we, when we go to be judged by the biggest judge of them all, we know we can say to the lord and be proud

about it . and the snp were wiped about it. and the snp were wiped out. they took a harder drubbing than the tories. it was like the end of braveheart, where william wallace is hung, drawn and quartered and the snp were literally quartered, winning a fourth of the votes they won in 2019, leaving them with only nine mps in westminster. jinx mahboob ironically, sturgeon was a commentator on election night, so we got to see her tears in real time. some of the electioneering was terrible , electioneering was terrible, like when independent candidate tanush kamaras sign was defaced. look at this vote, anas. this is not funny. at all. this is supposed to be a dignified election. oh my god. horrific and rishi sunak fought a terrible election making catastrophic mistakes such as leaving early on d—day. and right up until the end, he seemed to be trying to put conservative voters off here. he is with britain's most tattooed mum on good morning britain. look at that. even he even put him in the cock chair. ritchie's

campaign only makes sense when you realise he's already accepted a job, probably as head of inclusion for black rock or something like that. on $5 million a day, and he didn't want the faintest chance of a tory victory to derail his career progression. and it was the most distorted vote in history, as this chart shows, labour won a third of the vote, but got two thirds of the seats. more people voted for reform than the liberal democrats, apparently, but reform only go up five seats and the lib dems got 71 seats. and this is because reform's vote was more evenly spread across the country. so they came second in a lot of seats. but in a first past the post system, second place counts for nothing. a lot of people are disenfranchised then. i mean, surely we need proportional representation. so we've got a labour government. what will labour do? will ritchie's rwanda plan is now scrapped after the tories spent hundreds of millions of pounds on it. keir has killed it, a labour insider told the telegraph if rishi sunak thought

rwanda would work, he wouldn't have called an election. it was a con . by calling an election, a con. by calling an election, sunak was acknowledging that fact. labour's plan to deal with asylum seekers is to fast track their applications. so, in other words, if you can get across the channel and something that floats. labour will rubber stamp your application to stay. it doesn't sound like much of a deterrent to me, although it does mean we'll have an excellent, excellent olympic rowing team soon. angela rayner plans to send migrants everywhere in the uk, saying everywhere in the uk, saying every borough must take their fair share, but is this just to tilt the electoral balance in labour's favour? 18% of britain's population is now not of british origin, and the majority of these people vote laboun majority of these people vote labour. without these votes, labour. without these votes, labour would have just got about 16% of the vote. according to some analysis by boris on substack. so there's a huge incentive for labour to increase the rate of immigration so that the rate of immigration so that the tories will never be able to get elected. and it doesn't look like we'll see an end to divisive, race baiting politics, ehhen divisive, race baiting politics,

either, with david lammy as the new foreign secretary, david lammy sees racism everywhere, even hilariously complaining that the bbc's reporting of the vatican smoke was racist because it said is it white smoke or black smoke? black smoke? no, david, they released white or black smoke to signal whether a new pope has been appointed or not. it's got nothing to do with race. and as trump congratulated farage on his success but didn't congratulate sir keir, it looks likely that david lammy will have to beg farage to get deals done with america. now i'm joined tonight by two excellent comedians, paul cox, the people's gammon on my left and bruce devlin. i'm not gonna i'm not gonna make a big jack carson. >> we, we just call him bruce . >> we, we just call him bruce. how are you both doing? tired? yeah. no, i'm great because i'm very ill prepared for this. >> unless you're going to ask questions about the england game, i might not be able to help you out, leo, but i'm absolutely over the moon that

england won on penalties. >> yeah, well, yeah, and that's the first. i mean, we've got to we've got to congratulate keir starmer's government because yeah, that's the first act of government to make sure that england won. >> the big thanks to the labour party. well you never know do you. >> i think there was footballers were just so excited about how much extra tax they were going to pay. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> are you are you pleased that england are through. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> i mean actually i'm, i'm kind of delighted even though i'm scottish. >> are you here for so long? >> are you here for so long? >> i'm becoming very english also. >> my parents are mostly english, aren't they. mostly. >> there's not like 18 of them. >> there's not like 18 of them. >> right. but my dad's half scottish. so you are. >> which half? yeah. what's that? you're mixed race. it's a mixed race, i know. yeah yeah, my mum's from my mum's from woking and my dad's from surrey. >> are they different places ? >> are they different places? >> are they different places? >> anyway, getting back to the election, you're a blended family. my dad's a anglo and my mum's saxon. are you the read getting back to the election? >> i mean, i'm kind of worried, we've seen a few things in this election that really sort of

pncked election that really sort of pricked up my. got my alarm bells ringing, we've seen, four candidates elected basically running on on a platform of gaza and, you know, a lot of them have said some, some dodgy things during the election, some of the, some of the ones who didn't , who ran on the same didn't, who ran on the same platform and didn't get elected, said some dodgy things as well. there's, islamism entering uk politics, sectarianism, people voting based on, you know what their demographic group or their cultural background is rather than on policy. and this worries me, paul. >> well , it's representative of >> well, it's representative of those what those what the concerns of those particular constituents, isn't it. >> i mean, then they're getting voted in because their constituents support their views. it just so happens, i mean, i'm not quite sure which part of gaza birmingham is in, but but but we haven't had a look at it. >> no, no, it's definitely post bombardment. >> but, it's, you know, whether however we commentate on this, what is clear is that more and more constituent groups are interested in this particular

subject. and it's fascinating . subject. and it's fascinating. above all else, it could be considered a worry because it doesn't concern us really, at all. i don't feel like it's like international news, you know , international news, you know, what goes on elsewhere goes on elsewhere. but day to day, and that's what i think our government should be looking at. it doesn't really impact us at all now, obviously it impacts those people. it'd be interesting to see how that plays out. i think we're going to see in a honeymoon period now for 2 to 3 weeks, and then when are we going? and then you and i aren't going anywhere. unfortunately, me and bruce, on the other hand, we're off to blackpool. blackpool? yes. yes, we're we're doing a double act. >> honeymoons under a labour government. >> but but we're going to have a summer break, aren't we? so right now, right now all these things are going to become very big stories over summer break. and what's going to happen between the summer and, summer and the christmas break is real life is going to happen. none of the things that labour have promised to fix are going to get fixed in that period. there's going to be a bit of there's going to be a bit of there's going to be a bit of a readjustment in terms of the, you know, rose tinted glasses

view of what's about to happen. and i think a lot of this story will start to fade away. i think in a year's time, we won't be talking about it in the same way. well, yeah. >> i mean, i admire your optimism that there's going to be any kind of rose tinted glasses honeymoon period at all, because labour seem to limp in. it's not like people were motivated to go out and vote for laboun motivated to go out and vote for labour. they almost got in by default because the tories were so bad. their share of the vote or the number of people voting actually went down compared to 2019. it'sjust actually went down compared to 2019. it's just people didn't want to vote conservative. >> but that's what the snp had said. and any of the election coverage or whatever that they weren't upset that people had taken the weight of, you know, the vote away from them. they knew it was a protest vote in which to get the tories out. yeah, if you see what i mean. but you're right. in terms of turnout, i think we had a lower turnout, i think we had a lower turnout and mhairi black from the snp, who i like very much, she was on, i think it was channel 4, and she said that she would be interested to know what the turnout was in scotland, because she knew that it was raining in scotland on thursday and i thought it was raining in scotland on thursday. okay,

mhairi, i think it was raining on wednesday. >> vented umbrellas. >> vented umbrellas. >> well, exactly. tiny brollies tbs yeah, so i mean things like that do do do affect. >> well, do you not remember in 2019 there was an election called and then ian blackford or as i call him, the human toby jug . jug. >> jus- >> he jug. >> he was very upset because he didn't want it in november because there was no street lighting where he represented. and i thought, that's a shame. >> they're like pandas. >> they're like pandas. >> it's like the mating rituals of pandas. there's only one day every ten years that the snp will like, you know, will like an election. >> what did he represent? the victorian era? >> i think he represented the ramblings of his own diseased mind. i mean, sorry, leo, but we have to say that you know, this. >> the labour will now believe they've got a mandate, but it's not a mandate of absolutely everybody. so they're going to have to tread very carefully because of the turnout being so. yes, they've got 80% of the seats. yeah. but they only have 30% of the vote. and that was 30% of the vote. and that was 30% of the vote. and that was 30% of a much smaller turnout than was anticipated. so i don't think they have as big a mandate

as they might think they do. >> and previously labour have spoken about abolishing the first past the post system. >> yeah, it's not anymore. >> yeah, it's not anymore. >> oh, let's scrap with rwanda. that's gone like first past the post. no one said that. move on. >> but did we not have a referendum about that in 2011? i can't remember. yeah, i think we did and we voted to reject it. so again, once in a generation was that referendum a first past the post referendum? no idea. i wasn't there. i was a postal vote that didn't get through. right? >> apparently it was a b+ or something. >> i'm dyslexic. i wouldn't know . >> i'm dyslexic. i wouldn't know. >> i'm dyslexic. i wouldn't know. >> i've got no idea. av plus i can't remember that happened. >> var avr alternative vote plus it was called. >> it should have given it a better name. >> yes. now yes. but that. yeah. >> yes. now yes. but that. yeah. >> and it didn't. >> and it didn't. >> it just got to keep saying yes. >> i mean we're, we're seeing now i mean 4 million votes for reform and they only get five candidates. >> it's absolutely insane. and the greens are in a similar situation, although we'd probably make a much worse government. but the greens got a lot of votes. but only, you know, a proportional representation would have its own issues. >> however, what you would, what

would be very interesting is you would be very interesting is you would see 20 to 25% of those seats in parliament filled with reform candidates. yeah. and, i feel that that whilst would cause problems for, you know, the uni party and, and the establishment, it would, perhaps sharpen people up a little bit because there would be under a lot more pressure. i mean, you think they're having five reform candidates, mps within parliament. it will will cause labour and conservatives problems, but if you had, you know, 25, 30 of them in there. yeah, they would really be have their feet held to the fire and representing those people. the same with the snp, the same with liberals and the greens. and they'd be a bloc that could have influence on on policy as well. i'd want to see. >> i think we're, i think we're seeing now, you know, for years we've been told that, you know, reform or ukip or whoever are, you know, hard, right. but actually they're kind of sensible. and we need some of these, you know, pro—business, pro—growth, and slightly more nativist policies to actually fix some of the damage. that's

been done. because one of the things that, i'm worried about is seeing, how the how the vote splits by demographics and seeing how, you know, it's almost like a, it's a racial headcount more than a vote on policy. we see this with the, you know, the islamist vote, so i'm worried that as labour ramp up immigration because they think, well, it's great for us because , because the people that because, because the people that we bring in will vote for us. that's going to have like big unintended consequences that are going to be brilliant. jess phillips is already experiencing this, and i think that's very that's going to become very interesting because, you know, we almost might start to feel sorry for jess phillips, which will be quite an unusual emotion for many of us, >> it's going to be really interesting to see because they keep saying they're going to be the party of growth. and we don't, along with everything else, they keep saying things are going to be better, they're going to be the party of growth, and they're talking about the economy and business and things like that. they just never say how. so? we have absolutely no idea. and it could be growth

through immigration, which, which has worked for labour in the past, you know, it's how we find ourselves in the position we're in, but it's kind of like, chucking. >> simon evans described it as chucking kindling on a fire. you get this, you get this flurry of, of economic activity. but it's short term. you're not addressing the structural issues. the underlying your country and you're also opening up a huge number of problems and fuelling inflation and depressing wages. so it's by no means a good way to grow the economy. but coming up, we will assess the week's winners and losers in cursed or blessed this week, joe biden says he's a black woman, a norwegian minister bares all. and as always, we'll discuss the death of the west. plus, we'll show you what happened next. when this man with a pram walked past a pub. stay tuned see what happened to him. >> ethan. oh, mike, what's your secret?

>> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. castor blast is coming up. but first, i promised

i would show you what happened when a man with a pram walked past a pub. he said , oh, mike, past a pub. he said, oh, mike, what's your secret, mike? >> well, hey . >> well, hey. >> well, hey. >> oh, he's got a lot of chill. that's like the guy, you know, the netflix documentary. the guy with a thousand kids. >> i've seen that in my listenings, but i've just done with, selling manhattan by buying manhattan . buying manhattan. >> it didn't sound. >> it didn't sound. >> it didn't sound. >> i mean. >> i mean. >> oh, it was. it was toxic, man. barnsley i was i'm totally offended by it all. i don't know what was going on there. >> what was in the pram was a dog baby. >> the whole idea is i don't think was anything to do with the pram. i think he had 3 or 4 women behind him, each holding a baby, and it looked like he was some alpha male of a pro, you know, a proud alpha male of a pride of, lady types with babies. >> lots of, yeah. he's done. he's been very busy. >> a gaggle, daddy, a gaggle daddy. >> three women there. oh, my god. >> almost. anyway it's now time to go through the winners and losers of the week. >> joe biden has said that he's definitely running against trump. well, it's more of a shuffle against trump, really.

let's see what he said. >> i'm staying in the race. yeah i'll beat donald trump. >> i will beat him again in 2020. >> this was great for news trump. joe biden is not stepping down and not just because he has trouble with steps. however, joe biden hasn't exactly reassured people that he's not suffering from cognitive decline. in fact, he described himself as the first black woman president in a radio interview. listen to this. >> i am proud to be, as i said, the first vice president, first black woman served with a black president . president. >> paul, i mean, this is trump's dream, having joe biden still in the race. and there's another debate scheduled for september. >> we know it's trump's dream because he's not really coming out at any point going, this is ridiculous. he's keeping schtum the whole way, and rightly so. i would, you know, you you would want to face biden. i would fancy my chance as the us president if i was touching the ring now against biden. yeah >> or in judo. yeah. >> or in judo. yeah. >> or in judo. yeah. >> or anything. well, i don't

know. it could be embarrassing. you imagine if biden beat me up. oh, never live it down for the people's gammon tackled by biden at the end of my career. leo. anyway, i don't know what all that was about. so, look, there's a lot of dementia going on there without a doubt. and every time, you know, we've been asked to talk about this quite a lot over the last couple of years. and it's been funny up until a point now, it does feel like elder abuse. as we've said before, but it also feels like actually punching down, like this guy is quite clearly ill. the people i think that are the people i think they're to blame are the people that around him, the supporters that keep enabung the supporters that keep enabling him by saying there's nothing wrong with him? well, yeah. >> also because they clearly want to keep their influence and their power because they're the people really running things. the people around joe biden. so kamala harris, jill biden, all the rest of it, they've got, you know, all their, all their power, all the money flowing in. and they don't want to rock that boat. so they, you know, it's going to be like weekend at bernie's. if they have to, they'll prop him up. they'll

make sure, you know he's still there. it's going to be like somebody wheeling a dead person into the bank to steal their money. >> well, what they keep saying is that he's good during the day, because you know that he didn't do that stuff during the day, like tidy up all this stuff at make the tea. no, but i'm. it was. what did you say about his, i think fairly atrocious performance on the debate. he was like, look, don't let 90 minutes, you know, wipe out three years of really good stuff. and what his team was saying was if you get him during the day, he is a dream . but that the day, he is a dream. but that does, then, you know, there's international timelines and things like that. so that's not particularly convenient to everyone. >> but they said he's really good between 10 am. and 4 pm. they say that about me and it's not true. the job interview to get this job. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> it's a bad precedent to set. >> it's a bad precedent to set. >> wow , >> wow, >> wow, >> a new law. >> a new law. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah, i've been trying to get that joke out, it is, though, isn't it? you meant you can go into any job interview now? yeah, particularly in the united states of america. yeah. and perform really poorly and go. don't judge me on this interview. >> that's the thing.

>> that's the thing. >> even though we might have sympathy for him, he's running to be president. >> we can't forget that. and president of the united states is essentially president of the western world. the free world, the teen world. yeah. all the world's teen wolf, teen wolf. >> i was going to say that teen wolf. but anyway, why don't you go but i just don't think it bodes well. >> it doesn't bode well for america. these are the two best candidates. i can only see a trump win. i can only see a trump win. i can only see a trump win. i can only see a trump win at this point. >> absolutely. and i think trump's going to be finagling it so that he's running against biden if he can. >> i just kind of think, though, with biden's family, it's like you're humiliating your dad. you're humiliating your spouse. like, seriously, let's not cast nasturtiums as to what's wrong with them, because none of us know. but the fact of the matter is, something's up. i mean, joe biden turned up at a school and was told to f off. >> yeah, i saw that. i kid a very astute kid. >> anyway, june was pride month. you might have noticed no people paraded to celebrate the west's new religion. we're told by the alphabet people that transgender women are women. there's no difference. and they're stunningly beautiful and brave women. one roving reporter

mistook a woman for a trans woman, and her response is very revealing. let's take a look for trans women out here. >> tell us about your transition, how it went. hold this please. no. so i have a question for you. >> why do you ask me those questions? >> we're interviewing, like trans women and stuff like that. >> i'm not a trans woman. i'm a. >> oh, no, no, we're we're fully supportive. do you want to talk about sort of transitioning or anything like that, or like what people can transition because i was born a woman. no, of course you're a woman. of course. >> does it make a trans woman any less of a woman? >> no. you are 100% a woman. >> no. you are 100% a woman. >> i'm not a trans woman. >> i'm not a trans woman. >> is there another definition that people like to use? >> or you thought i was a man? >> or you thought i was a man? >> she said it. she said you thought it was a man. >> she admitted it. it shows that deep down the right on. people really do think that trans women are actually men. i mean, does this reveal that even the people who insist that trans women are women don't really believe it? >> i don't understand the hat. that's that's my big thing. what happened ? happened? >> that's a nice deflection.

>> that's a nice deflection. >> i'm going into politics now. i'm not answering questions. >> you're stepping around the landmine. i'm trying to understand that . understand that. >> i didn't understand any of it. bruce >> well, you're a man who doesn't care about his career. >> no, this is my career. like this is all i care about. it is revealing. look, what can you say? the thing is, these types of these types of situations and the ongoing debate takes away from any of the value of the trans debate. there are still there are still trans people out there are still trans people out there that would much rather just be getting on with their lives. and what's happening is they're being supported by people who really aren't invested in it whatsoever. they're doing it for their own benefit. and we can see with that with that lady there. now, i don't know if that was a spoof or not. i know she was not a plant, but what i mean is he quite clearly just he was that was genius. the way he navigated that. and he got her to say all the right things. unfortunately, what it does is it still masks the problem. we still have this

problem in society where, trans people aren't treated as if as if they are regular , normal if they are regular, normal people within society. >> and they're making, i think, a trans woman can be treated like a trans. women can get treated like women if they put the effort in. yeah, you know what i mean. so your trans women, well, i'm a trans woman, but so many trans trans women or whatever, they'll be like, oh, my pronouns are you know, she and her. and it's like, well, you don't look like a she or a her. why don't you do why don't you put the effort in, at least meet me halfway. you know what i mean? if i'm having to do your transition in my brain, it's not my transition. >> why am i having to do the work? >> my pronouns are he, she. that's great, because i just like to confuse people, right? they can also be f and off. >> i thought it was a chocolate thing. >> no hershey's? no, no, that's not real chocolate. i know it's got it tastes like sick. >> anyway, the trans thing is going to is going to take off because labour are going to bnngin because labour are going to bring in self—id and reintroduce gender ideology in schools. it's going to be an absolute clown show anyway. from 25th november

2025, electric vehicle drivers will have to pay £15 per day to drive in london's congestion charge zone. transport for london has confirmed this week. nothing says merry christmas like a new tax. electric vehicles don't release emissions, not locally anyway. surely this shows that it cash grab. sadiq khan encouraged everyone to vehicle, now he's stinging them with a tax. he's encouraging people to get diesel cars again, i mean, this is this is ridiculous. >> so the congestion just for context, the congestion charge zone is essentially zone one, very central london. if you drive in in any other car at the moment, you will pay £15 per day and you'll pay £10 a day for an electric vehicle to make the electric vehicle to make the electric vehicles, exactly the same as a diesel or petrol vehicle. does seem a little bit counterproductive, but the whole point of a congestion charge zone, i mean, it's to reduce congestion , i get that, but congestion, i get that, but though it was sold on improving air quality in the centre of

london, you know, it did have pretty ropey air quality. >> so you can understand, trying to eliminate, eliminate diesel trucks and things like that from, from the centre of london. although for some reason, i don't know how paying £15 suddenly makes the fumes that they admit okay to breathe in, but i thought electric cars were zero emissions, so i don't understand that. >> and it's funny that you go back to diesel because we were all encouraged to buy diesel. i only had time. i got rid of my diesel in 2017, and we were all told, no, that is the way forward. that is the way forward. that is the way forward. and then it's now buying electric cars, but then it's you don't realise the stress on the planet from. i think it's something to do with the way they do the batteries, the way they do the batteries, the weight of the vehicles, the muck up the roads and now you're being charged for it. yeah, absolutely. when i saw the signs that said layers, i just thought it was homophobia, believe me, because i didn't understand. >> i'm happy to treat the planet like i treat my body. leo. so we're in like a lady? >> yeah, like a lady. on the saturday night show down a crazy government trans rights video

and the bbc licence fee collectors harass a dying woman. >> plus, i'll show you what happened next when talksport found a german england fan. see the end this video in couple of minutes. >> you're a german

>> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. we've got more craziness coming up. but first, i promise to show you what happened when talksport found a german english fan. look at this . german english fan. look at this. >> you're a german that supports england. >> yeah, i support england since my youth. when i went with a young boy and girl in west berlin for fishing and their fathers were english ones and they took me to the football games first to the family stand, to the football games, and then i was influenced by the english virus . best team in the world, virus. best team in the world, best people in the world. i love them so much more than germany. >> there's a lot to unwrap there. i mean, it was like

heanng there. i mean, it was like hearing ben's dad was that princess michael of kent. and just think of world war ii and going a different way. >> we'd be hearing that same voice going papers, please. >> it is the accent now, isn't it? you know, i don't want to be, everything people expect of me. xenophobic, racist. >> you're allowed to against germans. >> but yeah, surely. especially here on the people's channel. but that accent is terrifying. i wasn't even listening to what you were saying. i was thinking, what have i done wrong? where should i go? >> yeah, they didn't need tanks. just the accent. anyway, the victorian state government in australia has been accused of gaslighting women after releasing a public service ad showing a woman leaving a lift after a man in a dress entered. let's take a look. for anyone listening on radio, that was, women on the left and then a trans woman gets in, and then a trans woman gets in, and then the woman gets out and the text on screen says trans and

gender diverse people deserve to feel safe. so the idea is that a woman getting out of a lift makes the transgender woman feel unsafe. now i find this somewhat strange . who feels unsafe strange. who feels unsafe because someone gets out of their lift? maybe the woman felt unsafe being trapped in an enclosed space with a massive biological male who , to be biological male who, to be frank, looks like a rugby player wearing a frock and a stag do. it only seemed like a few years ago that we actually cared about women's safety, and wanted to empower women to take control of situations and their safety. apparently not. the funniest thing is this campaign is called the unsaid says a lot. i mean, yes it does. the unsaid being women don't like a man in a dress sharing their spaces. i mean , paul, i'll go to you mean, paul, i'll go to you because bruce will just talk about her hat. why >> why do only one group of people's feelings matter ? people's feelings matter? >> like so women are dismissed and called terfs if they have any issue with the trans women

in their in their spaces, you know, be that changing rooms or women's sports or in this case, a lift. and we've got to elevate the feelings of trans people over everybody else. >> yeah, i mean, that should it should be a discussion point really. what was interesting, if you listen, if we are that's what this is. that's my job isn't it. so what was quite interesting, if you listen very carefully as the, the guy in a dress got into the lift, it creaked as if as if it was a real heavy set man. and the lady just, i think was just worried about whether the lift was going to make it up to the next floor or so. or 50. >> or so. >> i'm like, this is six people only on the wall. >> i can't comment on creaking shafts or people's weight because i balloon myself . i'm because i balloon myself. i'm i'm up and down. i think it's a lot to do with the colour of the frock. green was very spring and now we're in summer, so maybe this woman was appalled at the fashion choice. >> maybe she just had a migraine and didn't want to look at that frock. and this next story genuinely shocked me. the bbc licence fee collectors were

chasing a woman for non—payment of the licence fee when they discovered that the woman had terminal breast cancer. what do you think they did? did they write it off? did they say, don't worry about it, you've got enough problems on your plate? no, they fast tracked our prosecution to try to convict her before her cancer killed her. i guess gary lineker's £1.35 million a year has to come from somewhere, right? seriously, though, how on earth can they justify a tax to pay for a media organisation that fewer and fewer, fewer people watch and collect it in such a callous way ? it's sexist as well callous way? it's sexist as well as women are more likely to be convicted than men of non—payment of licence fee. almost a third of women's convictions are for not paying the tv licence fee. tv licensing have now issued an apology and admitted that this poor woman should never have been taken to court . who'd have thunk it? court. who'd have thunk it? i mean, bruce, do you think it's time to do away with the licence fee? >> yeah, i think so. there's so little on bbc that i want to watch. >> i'm not so many other

options. >> well, exactly. like not watching and buying hats, but no, i mean, have you seen doctors the last time i tuned into an episode, the receptionist married her cat. really? yeah. no. >> that's true. >> that's true. >> that's true. >> that seems like something that would be taught in schools these days. >> well, there you go. i mean, there is a degree i haven't paid. >> there probably is. i haven't paid my tv licence in ages. and so i can't watch doctors because it's a bbc production. you're really lucky if you don't. if you don't watch the bbc or log into any bbc services, you don't have to pay your tv licence. and i did. of the people come round to the door and this is going back a bit 15 years, but i answered the door. i was really hung over and i was in my boxer shorts and the guy said, you don't have a tv licence. i was like, oh, come in, i'll show you my tv. i've not got it hooked up to an aerial. and he said, no, no, i'll take it. i'll just take this box that says, never visit your house again. >> and that's how you do it. it's just ask your six foot four, though, aren't you? >> so, you know, six foot six pole. sorry, sorry. it's all. it's all tall to me. trust me. >> i won't get your weight

wrong. >> i mean, i'll tell you who doesn't. >> how would he get your weight wrong? >> there should be a section of this show. >> by the way. >> by the way. >> guess. guess my weight. >> guess. guess my weight. >> anyway. >> anyway. >> sponsored by ozempic. >> sponsored by ozempic. >> to say i'm impassioned about this. i'll tell you, it doesn't chase dying people for money. gb news don't watch the bbc, don't pay news don't watch the bbc, don't pay the licence fee. you don't have to anymore . i mean, i'm have to anymore. i mean, i'm assuming there's probably some context to this that we may be missing. probably. it's an agency that don't care. i think it's just the kafkaesque bureaucracy of any sort of organisation, but it shouldn't be associated with the bbc in any way, shape or form. and the way they can disassociate it is by not having the licence fee and competing with the rest of us. yeah, that's what they need to be able to do. now. >> i should probably push back on paul's comments there and say, you definitely should pay the licence fee. it's a fantastic service and enjoyed by many. >> no, sorry. >> no, sorry. >> yeah, i mean, but watch gb news for crying out loud. >> they are. that's where you are. >> that's the people you're speaking to. anyway, moving on. a 12 year old boy has been referred to counter extremism police by his school. why do you think this was. was he a member

of isis? did he have a pressure cooker bomb in his bedroom? had he not paid his tv licence? well, not quite. he made a number of apparently extremist comments, such as there is no such thing as non—binary and that he is gay and not queer. oh, it's bone chilling stuff. i mean, what is genuinely concerning is that woke ideology is now so embedded in our educational system that the school thought that this child needed to be referred to the authorities . i mean, bruce, we authorities. i mean, bruce, we hear a lot about prevent, focusing on really tame examples of, you know, what's considered far right extremism, for example, a sticker that says, love your nation or something. you know, equally equally horrific. i vote snp well, that actually does offend me. >> and , but i mean, this seems, >> and, but i mean, this seems, this seems ridiculous to me. >> this is a kid. he's and he's and he's clearly he's one of the he's on the lgbtq list himself. he says he's gay, but he doesn't see himself as queer. >> but so many gay people don't see themselves as queer because they remember their maybe, you

know , my age, 29, stowed . and know, my age, 29, stowed. and but a lot of people still hate the word queer. they hate to be associated with it . and i associated with it. and i understand that generationally, things move, and there are an army of people that are trying to reclaim the word for whatever, but a lot of people really have a problem with it. they're like, you know, i'm gay. i'm not queer because in my day and probably your day, and lord only knows how benjamin button is, age wise. but queer was a real insult. queer. there was something wrong with you. are you queer as a three bob? no, i think was the was the phrase that was before we came out of europe, of course. and currency all went mental. but the fact of the matter is, a lot of people really, really do struggle with the term. and if someone believes that non—binary is not a thing, then at 12, are you not entitled to your own opinion? yeah, it's not like he's flying around the world screaming yeah, yeah, yeah. >> how many. >> how many. >> well yet. >> well yet. >> yeah he might he might get a job as a pilot and do that. but and a lot of people don't like queer because it's something that can be used by straight

people. i've seen comedians, a lot of comedians do that. you can get a better edinburgh i've ever had. i've only ever had heterosexual sex. but i identify as queer. >> oh my god, so sorry. i was on with someone and a this was a couple of weeks ago. they were heterosexual in a monogamous relationship, but they identified as queer. and i thought for what funding? >> yeah, literally, literally just funding. >> did you try and like, you know, because it's the cool thing to be now. it's like a fad. and also, you know, for prevent, for counter extremism, police to be looking at a 12 year old kid who's just said something like this instead of looking at, we've got 40,000 islamists on m15 terror watch lists. i mean, this is taking resources away from that . resources away from that. >> it's an incredible amount to unpick in this little story, actually. and you know, first of all, let's say the kid, was wrong in some people's perspective perspectives. that doesn't that doesn't mean that he's broken any laws or done anything wrong in accordance with the school or society. you know, people are entitled to their views. you could say the same thing for all the people that push gaza in birmingham, you know, we don't necessarily

believe they add any value at all. but we would never say they should be arrested. i would much in the same way you might do. jess phillips would for sure, but, yeah, it's this, this this is the trouble with the flag now, isn't it? yeah absolutely. >> well, next on the saturday night showdown, we've got a weird and wonderful clown world with a robot painter. more pride , with a robot painter. more pride, madness, and a norwegian politician getting naked. plus, i'll show you what happened next. when this man tried his hand at romance. find out how it went for him in a couple of

welcome back to the saturday night showdown. clown world is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when this man tried his hand at a romantic proposal. get out i

a romantic proposal. get out! >> i'm amazing anyway. >> i'm amazing anyway. >> well, robots take our jobs. in recent months, we've seen a fully robotic mcdonald's . and fully robotic mcdonald's. and self—driving cars are just around the corner. although they're having a bit of trouble driving around that corner. now, it looks like painters and decorators will also be in the dole queue when the robots take oven have dole queue when the robots take over. have a look at this. we' re we're told that the population crunch means we don't have enough people forjobs. will enough people for jobs. will robots save us? do you think robots save us? do you think robots are going to provide? you know, we're not going to need people to come in and do do jobs. >> who's going to buy the sun if there's no working class people, you're not going to know. >> we can teach the robots to read, although they'll probably want to read some more highbrow like the telegraph, all the robot times. >> i don't know which i mean,

for me, i don't like painting the decorating. i'd like one of those £1 million machines there to do it for me. and i think that's going to be the problem. they're going to be very expensive, and it will be huge firms that are able to afford them, and they'll still pay laboun them, and they'll still pay labour, by labour i mean not the political party. >> you don't need to pay robots anything. that's the great thing about them. moving on. pride parades have become family events and as we all know, nothing says family fun like grown adults swinging, swinging their tallywackers around. are they really child friendly though? let's have a look at this pride parade in the good old us of . old us of. a. oh, that was a pride parade . and oh, that was a pride parade. and the people were naked. and also, i think they were japanese because i recognise those pixelated genitalia which you only get in japanese people. but why do liberal parents insist on bringing their kids to make eye

contact with a grown man's anus? >> i well, i have no idea. i've never had children and for that reason i'm glad i'm sterilised because i would not. if i had children, i wouldn't take them to see that. and i don't understand genuinely. i don't understand genuinely. i don't understand why when why do you think of pride? it's meant to show that, you know, we still need, the message across that there's nothing harmful. but when you see things like that, you're like, why have you got your doodle out in the street? yeah. and also, you know, pride. >> i mean, i think it's a historically been a great movement, but i think some of the shines coming off it because you know, it now stands for gender ideology and straight people with fetishes. and also, you know, the transgender element have actually been pushing out some of the, some of the gay element. >> i think, sadly, what's happenedis >> i think, sadly, what's happened is the cause has been lost slightly. i think there was a point reached where most people were accepting, and i think that's about the best you can get from any society, really. most people are accepting of things and they've just pushed it beyond that. now there's a bit of a double standard here because i was once walking down the street and we doodle hanging out, and i was

waving it about and there weren't people cheering, i can tell you that. >> so we met for different reasons. >> quickly, quickly fit this one in in norway, the home of edvard grieg, rikard nordraak and johan svensson, a country once famous for whatever those guys did has descended into decadence as a norwegian politician got naked. take a look . take a look. >> at ukip super. mega. >> at ukip super. mega. >> that's norway's culture minister, and i do apologise to anyone who got excited when they heard a norwegian was getting naked. it turns out they do have some unattractive people. i mean, why is there an epidemic of ugly people being models of getting their bits out? >> i don't care about that. i think it's great because i've got a chance now. i see myself as both a politician and a model. >> i would like to point out. i would not take my child to see that either. no, if you like biscuits, stay in. >> thanks to my brilliant panel tonight , >> thanks to my brilliant panel tonight, bruce >> thanks to my brilliant panel tonight , bruce devlin >> thanks to my brilliant panel tonight, bruce devlin and paul cox. >> they're fantastic. light

degrees. but under the clear skies across scotland could dip down into the mid single figures . down into the mid single figures. so to start sunday morning then we've got plenty of showers coming in towards the southwest of england into wales. these could be heavy at times as well. driest further towards the east with some bright sunshine here but some heavy showers, possibly thundery across north western england as well. sunny spells, scattered showers across northern ireland but drier but fresher to start on sunday morning across parts of scotland, with some outbreaks of rain across orkney and shetland as we go through sunday morning and into the afternoon, those showers will continue to push their way eastwards, turning heavy at times and becoming more widespread as we go through. the day could turn thundery at times across southern parts of scotland. northern england and central england as well. but we have got lighter winds out there compared to today , so that will compared to today, so that will help lift the temperatures just slightly. perhaps feeling a bit warmer 19 or 18 degrees, but a little bit warmer in scotland to
