>> hello there. coming up in the saturday night showdown. as george clooney gets involved in the presidential race. and asks biden to step down, we ask, is the actor getting ready to replace him.7 well, the actor getting ready to replace him? well, clooney is already good at reading out words that other people have written for him, which is all biden has to do. and scottish nationalists stick the football boot into english football fans, urging spain to beat england as it's urging spain to beat england as wsfime urging spain to beat england as it's time for revenge. is this banter, or an example of the envy and xenophobia that underlies scottish nationalism? and did justin trudeau's mother have sex with the rolling stones? not this week. there's not enough viagra in britain to make that happen. but mick jagger dropped a hint that mrs. trudeau was a groupie for the band back in the 70s. don't worry, we don't have any polaroids. this is your saturday night showdown .

or go to gbnews.com forward slash alerts . slash alerts. >> thank you sam. and that was perfect pronunciation. and welcome along to the saturday night showdown. my brilliant panel night showdown. my brilliant panel. joining me tonight are broadcaster and lawyer andrew eborn and the legendary comedian justin panks. now, the calls for president biden to step down have grown louder after the president's latest gaffes . at president's latest gaffes. at a recent nato summit, biden referred to ukraine's president zelenskyy as president putin. let's take a look. >> and now i want to hand it over to the president of ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination. ladies and gentlemen, president putin, that's like shouting out your ex—girlfriend's name during sex with your wife. >> worse, it's like shouting out your ex—girlfriend's name during sex when your ex—girlfriend invaded your wife's house and killed lots of people. and if

you thought biden calling president zelenskyy putin was bad, president biden then referred to vice president kamala harris as trump. i think we can all agree that biden's current vice president is not a six foot, two inch male with blonde hair. this obviously escaped him. let's take a look. >> i wouldn't have picked vice president trump to be vice president. did i think she was not qualified to be president? so let's start there . so let's start there. >> and that wasn't all in a week when he should have been putting minds at rest. in another slip, biden enthusiastically said, well, let's just have a listen to it . at the gates of hell, i'm to it. at the gates of hell, i'm gonna come to the overflow room. >> arade dam what did he say there? >> can we can we just listen to that again at the gates of hell? >> i'm gonna come to the overflow room, walk back down, i doubt it, i'm. >> i think the most worrying thing about that is he needs an overflow room for. for that activity. how much? how much volume are we talking about? and biden suffered a huge blow this week when george clooney called

for him to drop out. and top democrat donors withheld 90 millions in campaign funds. before we talk about that, i just want to discuss those gaffes. yes these are this is a week when he really should have been putting people's minds at rest. and instead he's he's come out and made the most catastrophic. >> did you remember you've seen the producers, the mel brooks thing. they they make this deliberately. they want to make this musical. that's an absolute failure. springtime for hitler. it is that moment. it's like the democrats must be. this is. what? what are they doing? like what are they doing? but they must know because people around him work on that. so the pressure was on him because they had the nato summit. everybody was there, and it was the big distraction. it's the only thing they cared about what i've been doing. you remember liz truss and the lettuce i've been doing joe biden versus the orange. we're going to see which one runs out of juice first, because the reality is he's not going to survive. they have this thing called amendment 25 in america with if the president is unable to do the job, he can be replaced and the vice president steps in. so that's likely to be

discussed in the how can they possibly seriously think they're going to get in with him? >> and i think the problem is now because everyone's saying he's got to step down and they've stuck with him now if they've stuck with him now if they sort of like give in and bend to people like george clooney, that looks very weak. >> yeah. and also, i mean, in a presidential election, people will feel feel cheated because they elected biden as president. and he's, he's the candidate, the democratic candidate going forward. so if they step in and, you know, fiddle things behind the scenes people, it's a gift for trump. >> but the people around biden know that he's not fit to do it. and this is the problem. and it's not just george clooney, because also had michael douglas turning around. everybody is sort of saying, hang about, we're going to withhold funds and things like, you can't do the job. it's got to be a setup. >> even the pro democrats, sorry, the pro—democrat sort of like, commentators are even, you know, so why are they so married to biden? because they why is it why don't they want to replace it? >> well, they were up until now. and now everybody, even, even actual democrat politicians who are really putting their careers on the line. because if you go against the top dog, but now you're going to come after tony

soprano, you better make sure you, doctor jill biden, wants to remain first. >> she wants to keep the job is what trump will say. and you're working on that sort of basis. >> yeah, well, there's this whole apparatus around him that's keeping keeping him in place, but he's just not. he's just. >> but they must know that they will be gone because the republicans will get it. yeah, but this is the thing now, they were looking incompetent and inept because now if they thought like, oh yeah, we have got him. what are you you must have known he was like this before the debate. >> and that's the point. people round him. this is the when he's in the public eye, he's got whatever the viagra thing that he has to keep him for speeches. >> sometimes he seems juiced up. sometimes he does. he does. >> he's got debate viagra getting on there. but people around him must know. yeah. and this is why i think it's a setup. and i think you're turning around on that sort of basis. the people who are going to be the next people who are going to be coming in there to replace him, that's what's happened. >> yeah. well, talking of people who could replace him because clooney laid into him this week. yes, for a change, he's been he's been very supportive of biden so far, but he revealed

that he was at a fundraiser with biden and biden was suffering noticeable cognitive decline. yes. now, with democrats now admitting that biden is suffering from cognitive decline, where does this leave fact checkers and fact checkers who are supposed to trust implicitly, have been insisting that biden is perfectly fit, and any mention by trump or gb news or commentators of cognitive decline in biden is just typical far right fake news. politifact drew on medical experts to condemn the claim that biden is senile, saying that his halting speech and facial expressions are due to a childhood speech impediment. yes, and any accusation of senility is just ageism. abc news said that claims that biden had wandered off, at the g7 summit. i don't know why we're showing that, because that is unrelated to what i'm talking about. >> that's why it's a biden. >> that's why it's a biden. >> you're senile. leo he's lost it. >> what i was saying, he said that claims that biden had wandered off at the g7 summit and had to be ushered back to the group were misleading because he'd seen a parachuter

out of frame. >> although biden had still wandered off and had still had to be ushered back. the independent fact checker said there's virtually no evidence that biden is in cognitive decline, and a lot of evidence that he remains fully able to do his job. that he remains fully able to do hisjob. it's that he remains fully able to do his job. it's trump who regularly dabbles in reality, detached and irresponsible nonsense. and remember when biden froze at a fundraiser? well, the metro fact checked it and said that he didn't, telling the reader readers that he tried to listen and did not freeze freeze up. he seemed ready to respond . incorrect news is respond. incorrect news is spreading now. that fact check is now shot down in tatters, as george clooney was at that actual fundraiser and has dropped this devastating bombshell. george clooney said the one battle biden cannot win is the fight against time. none of us can. it's devastating to say it, but the joe biden i was with three weeks ago at the fundraiser was not the joe big effing deal. biden of 2010. he wasn't even the joe biden of 2020. he was the same man we all

witnessed at the debate. now, that seems pretty damning of fact checkers. >> well, there's a couple of things on fact checkers is, first of all, they've gone into this legal definition of what it means to be senile. and they're saying you have to be a dribbling mess in the corner all the time, effectively, is what they're saying, which is what well, they're saying he's not all of the time. it's only on thursday. so they're working on that sort of basis. but also the thing about and the thing about the videos, because sometimes they have done some fake ones, they have done some fake ones, the cheap fakes, as opposed to the cheap fakes, as opposed to the deep fakes where they edit the deep fakes where they edit the videos to make him look silly. >> that's what people said about that fundraiser. >> they said, oh, it's been it's been deceptively edited, but i watched the full thing, so did i. >> ... >> it ..- >> it was i. >> it was completely not. i mean, they truncated it, but they edited it. >> oh no. >> oh no. >> the bit they truncated when he had the debate and when he was at the fundraiser, he was quite lucid during the thing. the seven seconds they keep showing of him freezing the sort of michael jackson for dramatic purposes . before that, he was purposes. before that, he was waving to the crowd and to the other bits and pieces. so to be fair on that one, that was edhed fair on that one, that was edited in a way to make him look bad, there was also the one where he pushed aside his just

admitted, yes, he was displaying cognitive decline at the fundraiser, that medical expert clooney absolutely did. >> yeah. he was he did, >> yeah. he was he did, >> i get it, i get it. >> he's right. but it's all semantics because what does it matter if it's what if it's technically sinner or if it's whatever it is he's not the full ticket. he's he's gone downhill. i mean, people did it about reagan, but people said it about reagan. i remember when i was a kid, he was this dodi i watched on youtube his final speech before he left office. he was nothing, nowhere near as bad as biden. yeah. and reagan was like the gold standard for sort of like absolute doddering. he was nothing. >> and you're talking about 4 or 5 years time. what's he going to be like then? so if he's standing it's complete nonsense. he will go. he will not. do you let him drive? >> would you let him drive? >> would you let him drive? >> would you let him drive? >> would you let him drive the tesco? >> no, no you wouldn't. >> no, no you wouldn't. >> no, no you wouldn't. >> no way. >> no way. >> whether it's whether it's technically senility or whatever, it's outside. whatever it is, you wouldn't let him drive. >> and people who are told to stop driving, they realise it's the end of their independence. and so i get the fact he's resisting it. and you were the last one to know. >> and this is an important thing. >> sometimes people say, oh, why are you being mean about joe biden? he's old. we all get old.

it's like, yeah, we all we all get old. yeah, well don't demand we don't. we don't see ourselves as having a right to have the most important job in the world. president of the united states. finger on the nuclear. >> i actually feel bad for him. i see him on this bigger stage. leader of the free world. and you see him on that debate and it's cruel. it's painful to watch. but he i wish him. no. >> well he did solve in that one sentence. he solved the ukraine—russia conflict because he did say the president of ukraine, putin. can i say, didn't you come? that was the end of it. so you work on that crisis, playing into what putin wants. >> i totally want is the president and exactly. >> and he's got his shirt off and he's wrestling bears and everything. joe biden's just sitting there with his mouth open, catching flies. but the thing about the debate was people missed this. the only time that one of them sort of sort of like criticised or sort of like mocked the other one for being infirm. when is when biden said to trump, i'll play you at golf if you can carry your own bag. i know what you oh, the debate, you can't even walk a debate, you can't even walk a debate was ridiculous, wasn't it? >> but the trump has been deliberately silent because and he's been held back to the extent you can't. he'll just be a bully. >> he can't.

>> so what happens. but he does that funny little look that he did that smile. that smile. that's what has he what he did there. >> trump wants biden in place. >> trump wants biden in place. >> of course he does run against biden. of course, of course. but that's even worse. >> so those who've got the theory, they sort of they wanted theory, they sort of they wanted the debate early so people would realise that biden effectively steps down because it was too late for people to change. then it was a clear victory for trump. if they can change him beforehand, they might get somebody in there. i think. >> i think it's too late for them now because everyone's like, the cat's out of the bag, you've lied. this fact checkers thought you knew what he was like. you put him in the debate. the whatever injections you're giving him didn't work that night or whatever. and now if you move him now, it's like, well, the cat's out of the bag. you had this infirm man. yeah. and now you're sort of like, if you change now, we've all seen it. it's not a choice now. it's like they're forced. >> but what if they replace him with george clooney? >> right. >> right. >> george clooney as, as possibly lining up a run for president. i mean, he's an actor, so he's good at putting on clothes that have been picked out for him and reading words other people have written, which is basically all politics are these days. i mean, do you think totally that do you think

clooney would would win? >> he would be a brilliant like reagan, his wife. that was doing it, and he'd just be because isn't she like some high up? yeah, she's like a lawyer or something. human rights lawyer. >> human rights lawyer. >> human rights lawyer. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> and interestingly, clooney fell out with biden. yes. because she, she was criticised, i believe she wanted to bring charges against. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah, yeah. >> yeah, absolutely. yeah, yeah. >> all that sort of stuff. so you're right there is that sort of side. what's interesting is they've started to use this political when stars are turning around and saying, look, you've lost it now because people always want those sort of endorsements. i think clooney will run. i also think, and i said this beforehand, that you think he will run. not maybe not this time around. >> i think doesn't want the aggravation. >> he just wants to enjoy. >> he just wants to enjoy. >> no, but everybody says, oh, i couldn't possibly do it. i couldn't possibly do it. i couldn't possibly do it. >> it's nespresso money. >> it's nespresso money. >> yeah, they are some big money in it and keep him up all night. he doesn't have to have the injections. >> it's got to be good. but you're working on that basis, so it's going to be interesting okay. >> well coming up we will assess the week's heroes and villains. is mick jagger canada's top melvyn bragg and asylum seekers are being taught how to be upset about racism in scotland. and elon musk spills the beans on eu censorship. and i'll show you what happened to this old lady

and little boy. see you in a minute. >> oh, how nice for you, scotsman

>> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. cursed or blessed is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened to this old lady. and young boy. oh oh, nice story . young boy. oh oh, nice story. actual actual footage there of emmanuel macron meeting his wife . emmanuel macron meeting his wife. >> what do you mean, husband ? >> what do you mean, husband? >> what do you mean, husband? >> i don't know , self—defence. >> i don't know, self—defence. >> i don't know, self—defence. >> i don't know, self—defence. >> i mean, it's outrageous. >> i mean, it's outrageous. >> before the watershed as well. i think you're working on that basis. but yes, i love it. >> i mean, it depends what you what you think is the lesser evil. i mean, elder abuse or child abuse because she was, you

know, i don't know. yeah, she was going to. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> you also have to ask yourself the question why people film these things. because they're obviously set these up ready to win the £250 from jeremy beadle. it used to be, didn't it? yeah, but you work on that sort of on leo show with leo show this time you do not get £250. >> anyway, it's now time to go through the winners and losers of the week. first up, the snp, who are sending asylum seekers in scotland on training to teach them how to detect racist microaggressions against them. that's right. the snp are worried that asylum seekers who they've rebranded new scots won't know when someone's being racist to them . so are spending racist to them. so are spending taxpayers money on courses tailored to help them understand racism in scotland and anti—racist approaches. i mean , anti—racist approaches. i mean, imagine a crime that is so minimal. you have to be taught that you're a victim of it. according to the scottish government, microaggressions are examples of indirect or intentional discrimination or unintentional discrimination. often verbal directed at minority groups. common examples

include complimenting a person of colour on their intelligence, or a white person making a statement, such as i believe the most qualified person should get the job. that's right, telling someone they're smart or picking the right person for a job is a racist hate crime. now in scotland, i guess it explains why their leaders have been so useless now. guys they're training people to feel aggrieved. i mean, this this feels like there wasn't a problem, but they're trying to make a problem. >> it's like covid that the symptoms are now so mild they have to tell you you've got it, have to tell you you've got it, have i? but i think this is the thing of be serious. i think there's a thing where they want to keep the west feeling guilt and shame all the time, instead of congratulating ourselves and going, we're actually very tolerant. there aren't right wing gangs roaming the streets like clockwork orange, attacking immigrants . actually, they're immigrants. actually, they're fine, and they're saying that they're not obviously not reporting enough hate crimes. they've now got to drop the bar. yeah, because i think if you feel shame and guilt, then you're easy to push around and

have your rights taken away. you're absolutely right. >> and the trouble is that, isn't it? if you try and find offence, you will find it. and the more you define it and tweak it and say, look. oh, you're so clever. oh, i'm so sorry. i didn't mean that. or open a door for somebody. how offensive is that? or all the common courtesies we used to have? we've lost all that sort of stuff and we. >> microaggressions are so ridiculous. yes. i mean, some of the i and to be happening in scotland, we're a bigger problem is macro aggression. yes. i mean if you microaggressions are bad go to dundee and see a full size aggression. there you go. the microaggressions. apparently if you make too much eye contact with a woman that can be seen as sexual harassment. and if you make insufficient eye contact with somebody, that's a different ethnicity to you. that can be seen as racism. so to make sure you don't commit a microaggression, you got to stand with your eyes swivelling in different directions. >> it's crazy. and macron aggression obviously against the french as well. so you work on that sort of base. no it's rubbish. absolute rubbish. and we should call it out. >> and the irony is they're now bringing in people of other cultures that don't see these microaggressions. they don't they don't see there's a problem. so we're now giving them problems. we're teaching

them problems. we're teaching them teach them to be miserable and feel like a victim. oh, you're not enough of a victim. you don't have so much of a victim. you are. come here. >> come be a victim. but you have to ask, don't you? how they come up with this list. they must consult people. and they probably get paid thousands to come up with the list. >> it just doesn't. >> it just doesn't. >> yeah, and they turn around and say, your best person can't say that. >> i honestly think scotland are too tolerant. they thought the narrative. it's like there's elgin marbles they've been talking about for 30 years. just send them back. the whole thing seems to be they want that conversation always is, oh, we're awful. we're colonisers. we pillage everywhere. just send them back. no, only nerds go to museums anyway. >> we like to complain. we don't like solutions. people are so good at finding problems. and if there isn't a problem there, we have to find one. >> but it's always blaming us. same with the climate thing. it's like that's what they can do. things like ulez are for your own good because you're evil. it's us. oh, i'm destroying the planet. i don't know if we are. and i don't know if there's no there's no racism. we have to always be made to feel like villains. >> yeah, absolutely. and do you think you know the scottish hate crime law that came through? yes. it was widely lampooned. and also it hasn't, you know,

not many people have actually been successfully, you know. >> yeah. i don't think i don't think i think the things that the bar so low, you wouldn't even report some of the things that they would say are hate crimes. yeah. so i don't think the person who wins the prize for that is jk rowling for making sure early on she went out there and said, i'm going to say all these things come and arrest me. >> yeah. and that that resulted in that. because when the police first started with that, they said, we're going to investigate every single complaint. not none of your bike gets nicked or somebody robs you in the street, but every single complaint on the on the hate crime thing, that's what they would do. and jk to her credit, came out and made sure that didn't happen. >> absolutely. yeah she pretty much brought it down single handedly. now mick jagger has stirred up an old sex scandal rumour about justin trudeau's mother during a rolling stones concert in in vancouver. there have long been rumours that margaret trudeau was a groupie for the rolling stones, and this week the stones were performing in vancouver when mick jagger dropped a hint on stage, saying we love you, mr trudeau. i suppose i should attempt his accent. we love you, mr trudeau. >> oh , who was that? >> oh, who was that? >> oh, who was that? >> who's that? is that trudeau?

>> who's that? is that trudeau? >> he's family. he's always been such big fans of our band. >> microaggression against outrageous. the english that's very anti english. >> that is that's a big, big stuff. >> well yeah basically he said i mean mick jagger was booed for saying we love you, mr trudeau, but he was just setting up his bombshell, there was a big hint that, that margaret trudeau was a big fan of the band. wink, wink. now, mr trudeau, whose poll ratings are at an all time low as canadians tire of his autocratic far left , open autocratic far left, open borders regime. but this sparked more rumours about the canadian politician's mother after former president donald trump allegedly accused margaret trudeau of sleeping with all the rolling stones. obviously this is a far right conspiracy theory, which means it's definitely not true. well, not true this week anyway. check back next week and it might have come true. it's not the only rumour surrounding mrs. trudeau. she was close to fidel castro and it's been alleged by some that justin trudeau could even be castro's son. which

makes sense when you see how similar their features are, and even more sense when you see how similar their politics are. although it's obviously we're just having a joke here, three comedians and hey, i mean, the rolling stones , the rolling is rolling stones, the rolling is true. >> the rolling. you had a picture of the two of them together. people should search that out on the internet because the physical features, it's got credibility. you know, if you have a look at this sort of stuff, there's certainly evidence to that effect. >> but she's been with the rolling stones and castro. she's like the forrest gump of slappers. she's been everywhere. she's been every time there's a historical thing to apologise, you can't say that. >> apologise for that, for the word, that word. you can't. you can't use. >> oh, i didn't know that. pre—watershed. >> you can't use forest as a word. it's not. >> there's honestly, there's so many words, is it? >> what are they? >> what are they? >> i can't i went through my whole rolodex and that was. >> that was about my fifth choice. i was like, i'll get away with that. sorry. >> we've got to wait until after the watershed to say some of these words. i've been caught a couple of times, but yeah, we apologise for anybody offended

by that. that word. and castro was a notorious womaniser. and trudeau is hugely unpopular. i mean, yes, castro, castro there are those photos of margaret trudeau who apparently went on houday trudeau who apparently went on holiday with the family's having houday holiday with the family's having holiday together , i don't know holiday together, i don't know where they stayed. >> probably the dominican repubuc >> probably the dominican republic looking for satisfaction, and they weren't on that. >> i've seen the pictures with them, with the stones and that sort of stuff. seeing the other pictures, they're all out there on the internet. people can google and search and do appropriate after the show, after the show, in the break or whatever. >> which stone was it? >> which stone was it? >> not all of them. it was one night. it was absolutely one night, but a brown sugar. and they weren't on that sort of base. it was fantastic. they loved it. >> it wasn't any of them. >> it wasn't any of them. >> it's a far right conspiracy. >> it's a far right conspiracy. >> oh, is it? >> oh, is it? >> what they said is mick is mick is mick jagger far right then because he started the conspiracy? >> yeah. >> yeah. >> well i think i mean he's, he's somebody well placed to know. >> yeah he'd know. >> yeah he'd know. >> you would think. no he may not remember though i reckon i reckon charlie watts because now he's dead. >> it's like it's fair game. >> it's like it's fair game. >> it's like it's fair game. >> i don't think it was any of them. >> i think i think you're right.

>> i think i think you're right. >> i think we need. they're not to here defend themselves until a bit later. it was donald trump who said it anyway. so it must be true. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> it's a far right conspiracy theory. and mick jagger doesn't remember anything from the 70s anyway. do scots support england in the football? the front page of the national, which is one of scotland's biggest newspapers, which sells as many as 12 copies a week, has led with this front page. it says time for revenge andifs page. it says time for revenge and it's got a picture of a spanish player kicking a football, which is actually a fat england fan. and this front page reels off a list of reasons for spaniards to hate the english. they say every summer they fill up your beaches. they dnnk they fill up your beaches. they drink all your beer. they mess up your plazas. they eat fried breakfasts all day instead of your wonderful food. they retire in your towns and sponge off your public services. there you go your public services. there you 9° ' your public services. there you go , is what it said. they've go, is what it said. they've settled in your town. sponge off your public services. this sounds suspiciously like anti—immigration rhetoric. i guess this is a reminder that the scottish national party and the scottish national party and the british national party are two cheeks of the same nationalist bum bum. now, when i

was a kid, you say that bum gum, you can say the word you use. >> i couldn't see you couldn't say that one. this is. >> this is where you're learning, okay? this is when i was a kid. you know, the sort of anti—english. it was a joke. it was a bit of. yeah. i used to come down to england, see my engush come down to england, see my english friends, and we'd joke about it and, you know, like andy murray were in the paraguay shirt when they were playing england. it was, it was fun . no. england. it was, it was fun. no. >> it feels that feels like it's crossed over from sport to that. that more cultural didn't it. >> yeah. what would happen the other way round of scotland have got there. >> would we be supporting scotland. do you think. and we also work on the basis because obviously gb news goes around the world. so we have lots of brilliant viewers in spain who will be watching this as well. so football will come home rather like biden's going to an old people's home. you're going to work on that sort of basis. and i think that's interesting because you need to make sure that you support everybody. and but it is interesting that sort of underlying prejudice against it comes out on that sort of basis. >> i feel that crossed over into cultural stuff like i live in norwich and i don't care about football, but there's a rival of ipswich. obviously you don't mean ipswich to do well and they

don't want norwich. but if i was actually horrible to someone because they were from ipswich and i feel like that's crossed and i feel like that's crossed and also they're describing the tourist trade. yeah there's literally they're saying they dnnk literally they're saying they drink all your beer. yeah we sell it to them. they don't come and steal it. >> but, but you also have to work out it's the publication they're talking about with their 12 viewers. >> and i think that's you've doubled them tonight. the reality is there's only them saying that and never let the truth stand in the way of a good story, that if you want to draw a crowd, start a fight, you work on that sort of basis. and i'm sure most people in scotland will be rooting for england tomorrow. >> i mean, you mean scotland, but i mean, do you think we should we should have a british football team. oh, that's a good idea. yes. >> the welsh, the northern ireland do we do team gb when you, when you play in certain championships you know, do that sort of stuff. >> you have good team gb and we unite on that sort of stuff. yeah. the rugby if you go to the olympics or something like that, we always have a team. gb you go to on like the rugby union, have the lions. >> yeah british and irish lions. >> yeah british and irish lions. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> yeah we do it with with football because they hate each other. >> you can't even have the fans

together. like if you go to watch a rugby match you just input into teams. >> this is the farce about football because you get you watch all the people. there's your team mate, you're playing them in this euros scottish person. so you work on that sort of basis. it's true. you know, you never cheer on an england player in a, you know, you just wouldn't. >> well we'll see anyway, next on the saturday night showdown, we've got culture corner. there's a new show about medieval england. so the main character is a black gay disabled microaggression. >> plus elon musk spills the beans on the eu's dodgy dealings. >> plus find out what all these dutch people are up to. out what

>> kennedy. >> kennedy. >> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. let's see what was going on with those dutch people . hey, guys people. hey, guys. let's play .

people. hey, guys. let's play. >> leave the past . >> leave the past. >> leave the past. >> yeah! we tricked you. they weren't dutch at all. that was the annual 12th of july orange march. but it was in benidorm. we didn't get your skin nice and orange. >> hey, like trump. >> hey, like trump. >> there you go. it's a trump supporters. how they all come. it's got to be good working on that basis. >> yeah well no. >> yeah well no. >> moving on with culture corner. my lady jane, a new amazon tv show based on the young adult novels of the same name, imagines a world where the real life queen, lady jane grey , real life queen, lady jane grey, lasted more than nine days on the throne. she was one of henry vii's six wives and one of the main characters in this show is a gay, black, disabled english king. i think i just won bingo. yeah. >> hey, i should point out that unlike the children's book brilliant black british history, this series isn't claiming to be serious, but it does play into a repeating theme that even in medieval times, britain was a multicultural, diverse country

with mass immigration, which is just frankly historical nonsense. >> britain wasn't on a major trade route, and long distance mass travel just didn't exist. so there were more no more than a few hundred black people living in tudor england. some people say it's fair to have so much representation in shows like this, because there just aren't opportunities for black actors to play historical european figures, but they get plenty of opportunities in everything else. just wait for an outbreak now, doctor who had an outbreak now, doctor who had a black sir isaac newton. we've also seen a black anne boleyn. why did he do it to us? >> well, it just it's rewriting history. it's almost like in 1984 how the you know, how the party was constantly removing people from from photos and putting new people in. >> it's absolute nonsense, this sort of forced history to conform to modern cultural. >> well, it's not history. it's his story, isn't it? and you're sort of turning around and rewriting it to deal with this woke agenda. but it's nonsense because people then turn around and think that this fiction is fact, and that's not a service

to anybody. yeah. >> so half the people are fooled by it. yeah, i think that, you know, oh, this is what britain was like back then. and the other half of people feel aggrieved that they're being misrepresented and lied to. >> but it's equally offensive. you had martin luther king as a white for man example. you worked on that sort of basis. it would be wrong. and i think teaching people about what the terrible things history is not pretty. and so to pretend it was pretty. and so to pretend it was pretty is wrong. so you need to turn around and make that make sense, which is at odds with, you know, you look at the history of the west and whatever. >> and the thing is, it's important you were saying black history to remember what was done. this kind of like it's raising it. it's like, you know, andifsl raising it. it's like, you know, and it's i think when they do it historically, i don't really care when they do it with, you know, fictional character. when they do a historical figures, it's just it's just weird. yeah. and i think it is, again, i think they're like in the touch paper for some reason. they know it's going to be controversial. yeah.i it's going to be controversial. yeah. i mean, you know, it feels like a racially divisive thing to do. >> it's not bringing people together or no commonalities or anything. it's actually, building resentment. now, of course it is. >> and people are going to turn around and say, well, it's a lie. so if you're going to turn

around on that sort of basis, history as i say, is ugly. if you look back long enough. everywhere is going to be that sort of supermodels. they're even uglier. you should see the early ones, because in the early days there's the ones. >> no, no, but but they're so androgynous, aren't they? >> yeah, i know, and they're big land wheels as well . land wheels as well. >> oh, god. >> oh, god. >> by the way, the world is now, if you get called stunning and beautiful in the guardian, you know you're horrifically ugly. >> but but in certain cultures, to be enormous, for example, is a sign of beauty because you're well—fed. and. exactly. and if you go back, if you go back far enoughin you go back, if you go back far enough in history , that's what enough in history, that's what they like. they like the plumper person because it meant they were well—fed and healthy and that sort of stuff. so beauty is in the eye of the beholder. it does change on that sort of basis. >> people always say that back then it was a sign of affluence or whatever, but they were you're talking like you probably look normal by today's standards rather than emaciated. i don't think there was like a £350 people. i mean, they were probably like just normal. >> now, if you go back to the circus , yes, a hundred years ago circus, yes, a hundred years ago and get the fat man and stick him in a shopping mall now.

>> yeah, yeah, yeah. like he'd be a personal trainer. people in holac know this. >> all i love. we descended into micro and macro aggression all in one sentence. it's just brilliant. >> i love microchips, i thank you if they come after us. >> very good. >> very good. >> if they come after us, we can just walk slowly up a hill, and they'll give up after five steps. yeah. go and get some. just move. >> well, that's the lie about biden running. i bet he hasn't run forever. you know, he worked on that basis. it's got to be true. no. >> moving on a bookseller has been fired by waterstones for getting involved in the gender wars. tilly fitzgerald , who wars. tilly fitzgerald, who posts on social media as tilly loves books , posted on twitter. loves books, posted on twitter. ooh, i'll enjoy tearing up your books and popping them in the bin today. thanks for the heads up about a gender critical author christina delcher. this came after christina made comments supportive of women's rights and was concerned about the impact of gender ideology, which allows men into women's changing rooms and sports if they pretend they're a woman. waterstones sacked tilly for breaking their social media

policy and presumably for threatening to tear up books, which isn't the best look for a bookseller. no, i mean, what do you what do you make of this? do you what do you make of this? do you think they're fair to sack i actually, i this would be controversial because if her employment laws say you're not going to come in here and rip up the books, then that probably makes absolute sense. >> and it would be within her contract not to do certain things on social media. so i get it from the boring legal answer. better still, though, and this is the great thing. it's the old, colonel parker routine. when he would sell buttons saying, i love elvis and it would sell buttons saying i hate elvis because he made money off both of them. if she bought the books and then ripped them up, that would be a different thing because that would help waterstones. but from a contractual law point of view, they're probably entitled to do it. but no go on. >> i was going to say, you know, that it's only one sided. if, you know, if it was someone like a book on the other, you know, this is the thing. what i think if like you were saying, if it's in the law that your employment agreement, you won't sort of like have a go at the products or whatever, but it's always one

side, isn't it? it's never it's never even handed, but feel like up until now it's been quite one sided against the that's what i mean. so now they've corrected. sorry. yeah that's the point. overcorrected. now they've corrected. well they have but now they've corrected it back again and again. it'sjust like again and again. it's just like watching that sort of theatre pantomime all the time. isn't it? no, no it's not. >> where's your career behind you. yeah i know, but but that. but that's the problem though isn't it. and i think the way it's been reported, it's a very valid point. people should be able to have freedom of speech, but it's not freedom from consequences. and in a certain employment law situation, which is what this is. employment law situation, which is what this is . that's the is what this is. that's the difficulty. waterstones ripping up books and binning them is not a good look. >> i think tilly could be an echo chamber where she doesn't realise that, you know, telling an author that she hates her work and wants to rip up her booksis work and wants to rip up her books is a bad thing to see. >> that's what i mean. yeah. >> that's what i mean. yeah. >> bookseller. so she she she's surrounded by people who would applaud her. >> oh no, i get that. >> oh no, i get that. >> and as i say, had it not been for her particular for job, waterstones, encouraging them to rubbish the product, as you say , rubbish the product, as you say, that's the difficulty. so absolutely she's entitled to her views as other people are

entitled to. the other thing when it comes to employment law, it's a different matter. >> yeah, well, elon musk has made the shocking claim that the european union offered him a secret deal to censor twitter or x or whatever it's called in to order avoid millions of pounds worth of fines. >> he also says the european union is secretly, secretly colluding with big tech firms to censor the internet. elon tweeted on twitter or axed on x or whatever you want to say. the european commission offered x an illegal secret deal . if we illegal secret deal. if we quietly censor speech without telling anyone, they would not fine us. the other platforms accepted that deal x did not. now, this comes after twitter or x man, why did he change the name? was accused by the european union of breaching its rules. they say the blue tick accounts have the potential to deceive users as they're paid for, and don't actually denote that a person is validated or verified, although everyone on twitter or x or whatever knows how this works . so i don't see how this works. so i don't see what the problem is myself, but this could lead to x being fined up to 6% of its global annual turnover. that's millions and

millions and millions of pounds and being forced to change how it operates in europe . now, it operates in europe. now, we've seen elon musk go head to head with, with governments, with, with agencies over issues around freedom of speech and how his businesses operate. i mean, do you think elon is in the right here? >> he's certainly the right to call it out. but actually, that's not what happened . and that's not what happened. and they denied what they normally try and do is if there's a penalty you try and reach some sort of settlement. yeah. and that's what they're really talking about. that's the other side of this particular argument. they normally come to some sort of arrangement and say, look, do this. the whole thing about the blue tick is beforehand they were verified people. they had to make sure you were a person in the public eye or whatever it is, and they were trusted sources they tended to verify. >> before elon musk took over. they tended to just verify people on the left like, you're a terrible left wing comedian. you could get verified if you're me sitting there, one of the did you not get verified? >> i didn't get verified. he's a terrible right winger. i'm terrible. terrible. you're very good. >> well, you set it up, though.

you set it up. but you're you're. >> as soon as i literally saw myself in space constructing that tiger pit for myself. there you go. >> there you go. you're right. but that's the thing. that was their complaint about. now anybody can buy it for how much they want to buy it for, and that's the complaint. what they normally do in the situation, they come and reach a settlement. that's what they're talking about. elon was turning around and saying, well, the settlement was this. yeah. and worked on the basis. but 6% of the turnover when they go into billions is absolutely horrendous. >> they're not profit . exactly. >> they're not profit. exactly. >> they're not profit. exactly. >> i mean, are you worried that, you know, elon spoke spoke there about him secretly being offered about him secretly being offered a deal to, to censor the internet. yeah. and then they'd leave him alone. i mean, i'm worried that, you know, our agencies and governments are censoring things behind the scenes . scenes. >> that's that's the worry, how surreptitious and underhand it is. and like , so obviously, he's is. and like, so obviously, he's i don't think he cares about making money from ecstasy. i've seen him say i don't care about money. i mean, that's what he says. well, 44 billion is obvious. >> yeah, exactly. >> yeah, exactly. >> i mean, he makes his money in other avenues, but i mean, it just shows everything that you look at. you think nothing is what it looks like a platform

and i don't understand, you know, like, is responsibility. if he just put a platform up, if if he just put a platform up, if i went on twitter or x, as it's called and said something, who's liable me or him because, you know, assange got done for what was on wikileaks. but it's like if you put something on facebook, it's not zuckerberg. so where is this responsibility? >> well, i can tell you, i as a lawyer, i'll tell you, it's like it's like defamation if you're the publisher, you get that as well as the person who's doing the other. >> but you're self—publishing, aren't you on. >> well it's both. it's also the platform has got certain liabilities and assange was crazy. just as an aside to accept that plea deal because that set back journalism forever. oh absolutely. because he turned around and pled guilty to one of the charges and basically did the plea deal on that sort of basis. that is completely wrong. he was just a publisher and not the person who did that. so what i'm saying, andifs did that. so what i'm saying, and it's crazy, absolutely crazy. >> i just wanted to go for a picnic, though. >> yeah, yeah, but he could he was getting tight. >> trump had said he was seriously consider letting him off. he should have waited until after the election. >> okay, well, next on the saturday night showdown, ed miliband is being annoying. no chance there. and is humanity

beyond saving. if you're on tiktok, the answer is probably yes. i'll show you what next. when this lad tried out some kung fu zahawi emma

welcome back to the saturday night showdown. clown world is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when this lad tried out some kung fu. let's take a look. okay. >> oh , god. >> oh, god. >> oh, god. >> that was no accident. they'd had an argument. >> yeah, i know this tonight is just about abuse, isn't it? there's an elderly woman being kicked by little kid before. that was not good. i feel like i'm accessory to a crime here. >> i think she's going to be talking like joe biden after that. yeah she was fine. >> apparently. good by the way. although in the clip earlier, the old lady and the boy both died, no they didn't. that was a little joke. that was a little

joke. anyway, now labour are back in government and some socialists have been saying they're happy the adults are back in the room , especially back in the room, especially this one. let's have a look. >> friend is blowing in the wind. the answer is blowing in the wind. so here i am on the latest brilliant . latest brilliant. >> yes, it's ed miliband who's wasted no time destroying britain's energy industry . britain's energy industry. according to the daily telegraph, he overruled his own officials to implement an immediate ban on new north sea oil. according to labour, it's more environmentally friendly to import our oil from the middle east on big tankers that can crash and spill oil everywhere than it is to get it from our own back yard. labour are also set to approve new green energy schemes and dish out millions of pounds of subsidies for green energy. it's worth noting that labour received £5 million in donations from green energy tycoon dale vince, although of course there's no suggestion that this money bought him favour with the government or that the government is helping

him by shutting down competitors in the energy market like the nonh in the energy market like the north sea oil and gas. miliband's department hit back at the claims in the telegraph , at the claims in the telegraph, saying this piece is a complete fabrication, although they went on to say we will not issue new licences to explore new fields. so it kind of sounds like the piece was right then. now i don't think the scottish oil industry can be replaced with a scottish solar industry, do we? we need to see more economic realism from david miliband . realism from david miliband. >> there are no more music, david. >> i don't know . but he david. >> i don't know. but he did that deliberately so people would play deliberately so people would play it and people want it to be bad and they use social media in that way. so we're the muppets in this because we've played it. >> so you're saying ed miliband is the family of politics? >> i think this is what's going to happen. they know how to manipulate the media. they know it looks ridiculous, which is why he comes out on that sort of bafis why he comes out on that sort of basis and he's out there and just stop oil. have one, haven't they? you'll work on this sort of basis. so all that stuff and all the stuff that we've complained about, they've now won.

>> but i think, i think some of the idealism that's present in, in our politicians and ngos that drive the agenda is a bit misplaced because, you know , misplaced because, you know, we've seen the electric cars are now falling out of favour with people, particularly as they're now no longer, you no longer get, you know, brakes. yeah. now sadiq khan is going to charge electric cars for the congestion zone. >> yeah, of course he is. they always do that. don't they? they always do that. don't they? they always go, oh, there's all these incentives to switch over to this. and then when remember when i remember when diesel was so much cheaper than petrol. yeah. so everyone switched to diesel cars. on now we're going to make diesel more money than petrol. oh absolutely. >> give it away first. that's what you give away. the hardware making software to my brilliant panel today. >> that's all we've got time for. unfortunately we've had broadcaster and lawyer andrew eborn and comedian justin panks, and we'll see you again next week. and don't forget headliners as well. it's tonight at 11 pm. that is three comedians going through tomorrow's newspapers. it's fantastic. see you next week. bye >> looks like things are heating up . boxt boilers sponsors of

up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news . weather on gb news. >> hello there. good evening. welcome to your latest gb news weather forecast provided by the met office. after largely cloudy first half of the weekend, we do still have some outbreaks of rain to contend with into this evening and overnight, particularly for the scottish borders down to northumberland towards the north york moors. there could be some heavy pulses at times, so do take care if you are travelling here. elsewhere it is a largely dry night. some clear spells for particularly northern ireland down towards southern areas of england and wales, where here we could see rural temperatures drop down into single figures. most of our towns and cities, though, will be holding up in double digits as we start off sunday morning. but really, the best and the brightest of the conditions first thing very likely to be across the southern portion of the nation. actually quite a decent amount of sunshine here. first thing. and a very nice start to the second half of the weekend. still got that expansive cloud and rain outbreaks across northern england, but northern ireland seeing some bright spots and actually parts of central scotland into argyll and bute and the southern highlands not

faring too badly either. the far north—east of scotland, though much cloudier with some drizzle, murky conditions around, particularly long coastal areas as we see that northerly feed of air filter in that cloud. the rain across southern scotland into northern england will gradually ease a bit and turn lighter as we head throughout the day, generally turning patchy. but it is going to be cloudy and fairly dull and dreary still throughout a good portion of the day, and feeling quite cool underneath that . quite cool underneath that. still, temperatures only around 15 to 17 c. elsewhere in the sunnier spots , parts of central sunnier spots, parts of central scotland down towards southern england and wales, we could see 2120 three degrees celsius. so a bit more pleasant and a bit warmer here. if you're hoping that the new week would bring something a bit more summery, i'm afraid i'm going to be the bearer of bad news because we've got another area of low pressure arriving from the southwest on monday. this will be bringing bands of showers, some of those looking like they could be heavy with some thunderstorms, even some hail in the mix. >> brighter outlook with solar sponsors of weather on

gb. news >> it's 9:00. on television. on radio and online. in the united kingdom and across the world. this is mark dolan tonight in my big opinion. the eu wants to censor the internet. thank god we are out. the truth will get you cancelled . find out why in you cancelled. find out why in just a moment. in the big story, as labour begin their battle plan for the 2029 general election , is sir keir starmer election, is sir keir starmer all but guaranteed ten years in number 10? i'll be asking . number 10? i'll be asking. britain's best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton. my mark meets guests are the brilliant comedy actors starring in a new play about eric morecambe, bob monkhouse and tommy cooper. expect laughs aplenty as we remember, three comic geniuses and in my take at ten, after broadcasters and journalists pretended that everything was fine with joe

biden's health for years
