>> that's true. new york's reject. that's what i should have said. all right, i'll say that next time. sorry about that, lois. okay, let's have a look at the front pages for friday. daily mail is leading with labour's £300 green energy bill saving lie. the guardian has got chancellor to reveal £20 billion shortfall in public finances. the times has got hospitals have gone unchecked for ten years and the express is leading with esther's heart lifted at hope of dying in favourite place and the eye news starmer warned against pension tax hit for 7 million savers. and finally, the daily star, the one where jennifer aniston gives a staunch defence of cat ladies. those were your front pages . those were your front pages. okay, let's crack on with the guardian on friday, lewis , guardian on friday, lewis, what's their front cover looking like? >> well, good news, the chancellor. who? this woman, rachel reeves , she says the rachel reeves, she says the chancellor to reveal £20 billion

shortfall in public finances. basically, this is i think every time it's every time there's a new government comes in, they say there's no money. they left no money for yes, for us. >> and in one famous case, there was a note saying there is no money, just deal with it. >> i think that's that's what they did in america. that's i think george bush gave donald trump or whatever it is, whoever. i don't remember the running order in america. >> no, it wasn't that. >> no, it wasn't that. >> but but he got a letter from the previous guy, and i think obama even gave a nice, nice note to donald. i don't remember what whatever it was. >> yeah, but it wasn't that they'd spent all the money and there's nothing left. although that said, the american, tax burden is quite significant at the moment, isn't it? what do you think about this, nick? any thoughts? >> well, they predicted that reeves will kitchen sink the bad news about the economy. that's a phrase horrible. i've never heard it before. but you imagine it means chuck everything at it. so it's just going to be a budget of awfulness. and i guess you'll get to blame. all of it on the tories. >> isn't kitchen sinking a wrestling move? >> no kitchen sinking? how am i? how am i the only one to know

this? you know this. >> it's those dramas from the 50s. from the 1950s. >> oh, i see, i see. >> so she's in black and white. they were really bleak. they took place in the north and they were horrible. i think they were the first, like kind of horrible working class documentaries where i'm from. >> yeah. okay. let's move on, though, to the mail on friday. nick, what are they running for with the front cover? >> they've got labour's £300 green energy bill saving ly line of commerce . but because there of commerce. but because there was this claim that in the campaign for miliband and et al. that we'd save £300 on household bills with their green energy plan . now they're conceding that plan. now they're conceding that might not happen before the next election. so it is being called a lie. i mean, people are quite often campaign saying you'll save money and. yeah, and you don't. >> are you suggesting that campaign pledges don't always come true? >> that's sort of what i am saying. >> outrageous. >> outrageous. >> obviously with brexit it was different. they all they all happened. but yeah, i mean i'm suspicious of this whole energy plan. i mean, ed miliband, i find it a bizarre choice . find it a bizarre choice. anyway, one thing we learned is that the country didn't really like him. so why bring him back?

and, my friend lord frost said that this plan will just bring more debt, higher bills, and insecure energy and that the government are believe in their own hype about renewables. so i tend to defer to him. >> i love the way he says my friend lord frost podcast. >> it's out now. >> it's out now. >> yeah, but no one. >> yeah, but no one. >> are you always promoting yourself every night with your. >> no, that's fine, but you should. when you're in a name, drop name a name. nobody knows who this lord frost is. >> we just did a podcast out how. >> now. >> it's actually impressive. you're going to name drop and you mention a senior politician that nobody knows of. yeah, but if you just said american, you don't know any of our politicians. well, actually, i know i'm, i'm speaking for the people because i know because i'm paying attention and i've never seen lord frost name mentioned. anyway, there is a brexit negotiator. any thoughts about this, >> you know what? anytime you see the word green, you know it's a lie . it's inherently the it's a lie. it's inherently the whole the whole climate change in any context. in any context. if you say we're going to save money, it knows it means you're going to be manufacturing something that's going to be put up somewhere, that's going to make a lot of noise, that is

going to clip this one. >> more disinformation. yeah. and they'll be like , they'll and they'll be like, they'll send you a commentator, they'll clip you on twitter , gb climate clip you on twitter, gb climate change deniers, and they'll forget to say that you're a comedian and no one listens to you. >> yes. yeah. i mean that's actually the key point. nobody cares what lewis thinks. let's move on to the front cover of the next paper, which is the times on friday. lewis, different story here. >> yeah, well, this is this is more good news. hospitals have gone unchecked for ten years. and this is wes streeting guy says the c q i know the person i've never heard of. >> you've never heard of wes streeting? >> of course, but he hasn't done anything in ten. what has he done for the last ten years? except except criticise. >> he's not been in government. >> he's not been in government. >> he's not been in government. >> he hasn't been in government. so he hasn't done anything, is there? >> is there's a whole new government now you're going to have to learn their names and what they do, but they have no political power bases except what except what the tool maker decides. >> okay. >> okay. >> but what he's saying is the tool maker's son. you mean. yeah. yeah. >> no. yeah. >> no. yeah. >> what are we saying? what? he's saying is that, you know, it's actually quite serious,

isn't it? if hospitals have not been inspected, if things have, that might be why things have gone so wrong. what do you think? >> i think it's completely unnecessary to inspect hospitals by the government, by whatever the state, whatever you call the central business thing of the government is that is that people could sue them. is that when you have it's back to centralisation, which is the biggest you know, the, you know, the nhs, there shouldn't be an nhs. well that's a different question. >> you know, given that there is an nhs and it is funded by the taxpayer, surely the government has a responsibility because eventually, frequently and ensure that the standards are sufficiently high, eventually, eventually they become locked together and they basically even if you they inspected each other, they wouldn't do a good job. >> well, i mean, nick, they're suggesting the it hasn't been inspected at all. >> and that was incredible. review found that the organisation was so dysfunctional that one of its hospital inspectors claimed never to have been inside one. this is the care quality commission. i mean, wait, a hospital inspector has never beenin hospital inspector has never been in a hospital. hospital or met a person with dementia. so

yeah , streeting has been so yeah, streeting has been so shocked that he's putting in all these regulations. he's changing these regulations. he's changing the whole it system, he's changing. you've got to report to ministers and all patient safety organisations will be reviewed. the bonus is there's a lot to reform. he's got no shortage of things to reform. but even he was alarmed about how bad things have got. >> it is alarming. okay, let's move on to the star for once. they're covering an actual story. >> they are the one where jennifer aniston gives a staunch defence of cat ladies, and this refers to, trump's running mate, jd vance , who had this clip just jd vance, who had this clip just resurfaced, even though it's from 2021, where he described democrats as a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choice that they've made and they want to make the rest of they want to make the rest of the country miserable, too. and aniston is saying, well, i hope your daughter is fortunate enough to have children and also you're taking away ivf from her as well, because he voted against this ivf bill that would have made it a national right. and jennifer aniston is known to be someone who tried to have children and couldn't. and actually, adam sandler sends her flowers every mother's day, which is very nice. but so of course, she's going to be passionate about this, they're using it. there's this thing

that kamala harris has no children and is therefore, you know, some children, right? does she i think, yeah, maybe . yeah, she i think, yeah, maybe. yeah, i think she does. yeah. but she shouldn't have any children. and the idea is that this could be used against her. i don't know if it's a useful attack or not, especially now. trump's going to be called misogynist, and varne starts to look like, in that sense, not the ideal pick in other ways. he's very strong. but but so now it's maybe a weak point, but this is an old this is an old, right? >> 2021. this is an old clip. yeah. so he hasn't just said this thing about cat lady. >> no, no. we hear this idea quite a lot don't we? if you have no children, you have no stake in the future. i personally don't believe it because i have no children. i care very much about the future of the country. yes. though i don't really believe kamala does, but for different reasons. i just think she's kind of vacuous and self—involved and power hungry. but but you know, in theory, i think you can not have kids and still care about the future. >> yeah, absolutely. i mean, the problem they're going to find with this is ever since he chose vance as his vp of course, vance has said some pretty spicy things in the past because he's that kind of guy. he does sort of speak his mind. he's been described as a bit of a bulldog, so there's going to be stuff

that you'll be able to find that, he said. but is that really helpful at the moment? >> is it helpful for who? it's helpful for kamala, it's helpful for. i mean, women don't like to be called cat ladies. they don't like that. but then again, all these women are calling. they're very free with calling men incels, which is even worse because a cat lady and most cat ladies decide not to have children, but most, most incels decide they don't decide not to have. >> at least they have cats as well. what's an incel guy except an a? >> what's wrong with a cat? >> what's wrong with a cat? >> what's wrong with a cat? >> what's wrong with being a cat lady? >> but this jd vance guy, he was chosen.i >> but this jd vance guy, he was chosen. i saw the interview with with donald. and what did donald say? he likes me a lot. >> his name dropping. donald >> his name dropping. donald >> well, we're both from new york. yeah, but he says. he says ichose york. yeah, but he says. he says i chose him because he likes me a lot. >> i like that he's honest about that. yeah. >> he can't use all of jd. vance's past remarks because one of his past remarks was that he, trump, was awful. and we should never vote for him. he was a never trumper. that's true. yeah, trump said when he met him, he fell in love with him. >> i just wonder whether we shouldn't focus on what people are saying now. i mean, we can easily trawl through things that

kamala harris are saying, there's no shortage of really, really imbecilic things that she said in the past, but let's leave all that aside and just have an argument about the here and now, right? >> no, she said, we need to sort of align with our friends and the republic of north korea. that one. >> well, it could be that that it could be that one. it could be when she sort of implied that biden was a racist, i thought that was kind of extreme. >> no, she's she's what you're saying, andrew, is we need to be unburdened by what has been. >> yes, exactly. >> yes, exactly. >> what can be. >> what can be. >> exactly. that's what we should say is the beautiful phrase who came up with that is the point is, is the point is, is that kamala, i think we should not focus on what jd vance has said. >> we should focus on what kamala has said because we don't like her. >> okay. very interesting. well well, apparently we don't like her, that's the front pages expertly dissected. join us in part two, where we're going to have struggles in the white house, struggles in the airport, and with lewis. staying on topic, don't go

welcome back to headliners. it's your first look at friday's newspapers. i'm andrew doyle, and with me still are. louis schaefer, entertainer from new york, and nick dixon, the thinking man's louis schaefer. and we're going to jump straight back in with friday's telegraph . back in with friday's telegraph. the mayor has said not to use manchester airport for political purposes. i wouldn't even use it for travel purposes. louis. >> yeah, well, this is this is andy burnham who's who's labour. so he's like basically trying to say don't don't kill the guy who's videoed. >> can you explain the story a little bit. >> the story is, is that something happened with with something happened with with some people of giving us too many details , just one thing at many details, just one thing at a time. >> there was a video that went viral of, of a guy of a police of white police, of a white policeman kicking, ethnic people in the head and ethnic person, an ethnic person, an ethnic person in the head. and it's

been the individuals that were arresting had apparently attacked police officers and all the rest of it. i'm not justifying the kick in the head remotely. i think it's completely wrong, but the point is, this is a big andy burnham, i think is trying to say you don't know the full context. he's saying, i've seen the whole video. he's not justifying the kicking in the head, but he's saying this is perhaps more nuanced than, you know, the internet seems to think the question is not just the internet, it's on the news. >> and the question is, why are the powers that be in this country wanting to promote a race war over a guy, over a bad cop, because the cop shouldn't kick somebody in the head? obviously not. but but a cop kicked a guy in the head. >> i actually think, nick, i mean, i've been a bit disturbed seeing online, people trying to justify the police officer kicking a man in the head. i think that surely if you're doing your job professionally, however violent the individual has been, yeah, his job is not to sink to that level. >> well, if you're going to defend him, you'd say, if this guy did, allegedly, they broke the female police officer's nose and then you're responding to that in the moment. you're deaung that in the moment. you're

dealing with violent people. the idea that you might get carried away. i'm not necessarily excusing it, but it is. it is possible. >> but of course, we're now doing exactly what andy burnham says we shouldn't do, which is speculate about andy burnham saying, don't use this for political purposes. >> it's a policeman kicking a muslim in the head. i mean, that's about the most political possible situation you could possibly have. so of course it's political and everyone's making it political, but it's bound to be so that's, that's that's unlikely. i mean, and i mean, paul waugh mp, i saw today is already condemning the police and sort of siding with the criminals so or alleged criminals. so, so it's already political isn't it? mps are using it for political gain. >> but we've and we've seen obviously protesters gathering outside the airport, a lot of people trying to politicise this. and of course, it's not the first time, you know, we've seen this before where criminals become martyrs. george floyd is a very good example. this could happen again. and it's very toxic. when it starts to become about race. >> it's not that it could happen again. i feel that they're promoting it. this is one this is one step in us going into full, full time chaos war in this country. right >> and you actually need the police to do their job though, to stop it getting to that.

that's the thing. not necessarily kicking people in the head, but if the police don't get tougher and i know it's a very hard job, they've been criticised as not being tough, two tier policing and so on.the tough, two tier policing and so on. the police at some point have to start tackling criminals in a tough way, or people will take it into their own hands. so that's that's the other problem with that. okay. >> well let's move on now to friday's mail and mega jails. i like the sound of that. what's this all about? >> yeah. former raf base used for asylum seekers could become mega jail. this is where the country is now. we need mega jails. so this is raf wethersfield, and, it accommodates 500 asylum seekers, but it could accommodate 1700 offenders if it became a mega jail. because the country is in such disarray. normal jails are not enough. now we need mega jails and i thought they were letting people out of jails. i thought they're letting them out because we can't afford it. because yes, the prison population is, quote, within a few hundred places of collapse. >> what does collapsing justice secretary shabana mahmood. >> so there you go. so if we don't create these mega jails, we'll just have to keep letting all criminals off. >> we just get a gladiatorial arena and have all the criminals fight it out to the bloody

death. would that be a reasonable. it's worked before. >> no, what they need to do is they need to stop letting people into the country that causes this kind of chaos, and they need to punish the people who are here when they commit a crime. >> there are criminals in this country from this country. you do realise. yeah. >> and they haven't been punished hard enough. they need to either be put, they need to be killed, killed, killed . be killed, killed, killed. >> the us disagree with you till you said that they were going to get us all. >> i have to disagree. i'm sorry. i'm. well, you shouldn't, but why is there problems? >> the problem is, is the police . >> the problem is, is the police. the putting people in prison doesn't. you want to get back to the elizabethan period where they kill people in the street, in front of families? >> they pull their entrails out. >> they pull their entrails out. >> i actually believe in the death penalty. but the way louis just said, kill, kill, kill is. it seemed much broader than that. >> you know what? and those were the safest period in britain. >> okay, the problem with that, of course, louis, is, as you know, a certain percentage of the prison population is innocent. say, i think they estimate around 6 to 7%. yeah. which means that there are always miscarriages of justice. always. yes. you will never, ever change that. if you have the death penalty. innocent

people will 100% will die. >> and i am against the death penalty. as a libertarian, it's no business of the government to take someone's life. >> you would just chanting kill, kill , kill. kill, kill. >> i could have two like vigilantes. >> i mean, are you trying to embody the duality of man? >> yes. i'm saying you can have you have to figure out what to do with too many prisoners. you ehhen do with too many prisoners. you either. you either have to punish them hard enough so that i don't know , maybe like the i don't know, maybe like the running man. >> do you remember that film? that's what you do with criminals. you put them all in a maze and they have to fight each other with sort of. >> and it would maybe make you want to see louis get out of it. get shut down. we should probably move on, though. >> okay, let's move on to the daily mail now with the real reason obama hasn't endorsed kamala harris. presumably too busy running the country, right? >> yeah. good. good call. yeah. very interesting . this why obama very interesting. this why obama has not yet endorsed kamala harris harris's presidential bid. so yes, people notice this, that he was he didn't give her the endorsement. and instead he said this thing about i have extraordinary confidence that the leaders of our party will be

able to create a process from which an outstanding nominee emerges. of course, they didn't have any process. they just installed this automatic candidate. well, they've denied that. >> they keep calling it a grassroots thing. they say , grassroots thing. they say, kamala, kamala's rise has been a grassroots thing . they just keep grassroots thing. they just keep using that phrase completely transparent coup. >> yeah, i mean, and they said they point out there was no endorsement of harris. so obama is said to be by this insider. now of course, other his spokespeople have denied it and so on. but very upset about harris's candidacy and has said that she's incompetent, cannot navigate the landmines that are ahead of her, which seems incredibly likely, doesn't it? but and he's furious about how it's gone down now. his senior advisor is just saying no. he looks forward to helping the democrats and he'll be a sort of good asset to use at certain points. strategically to help her. and that's why he hasn't said more. he's holding himself back, but i mean i mean, he's right. he i can see obama, obama i could easily see him thinking she can't win. why did they just install her like this? and maybe he thinks michelle would have been better, or someone else. >> i'd love to know what's going on behind the scenes. >> i think he's even said that cooper was it. kelly should be better. would be better on the

ticket. i can't remember if it was cooper or kelly. there's mark kelly. yeah. mark kelly. one source went on to allege that obama would like to see mark kelly at the top of the ticket. he's the astronaut whose wife was actually had an assassination attempt on her, and he's a very impressive guy. >> so maybe he well, obama's a smart guy. i mean, he will know that kamala harris is a very mediocre politician. and, you know, let's be honest by joe biden's own admission, was a diversity hire. i mean, there's no getting around that. people saying that's a right wing slur. but biden said it, right. and of course, barack obama hates biden and vice versa. and of course, biden cannot stand kamala harris. so i'd love to get behind the scenes and just see what this shakespearean well is like. >> what's an interesting theory that i saw is that is that they're doing this deliberately to get into our heads. so people say , oh, barack obama doesn't say, oh, barack obama doesn't like her. and then we say he doesn't like her. and then he comes out saying he likes her, and he says, oh, you were just a conspiracy theorist by saying, barack obama doesn't like. >> so you're saying this is an elaborate psyop? >> this is a psyop. this is what

the cia does. the fbi does is like they're just creating some kind of things that making it seem like, like this woman is fighting even against barack obama. because the truth is, barack obama, he's like in the pfisonen barack obama, he's like in the prisoner, right? i mean, you know , the tv show the prisoner. know, the tv show the prisoner. yeah, he's he's the number two quy- yeah, he's he's the number two guy. he's like the main guy in the democratic party, the democrat slash deep state establishment want to pit their beloved candidate of former president obama against their candidate. >> what would the advantage of that be? >> i don't think that they've maybe he's thinking this is a way to help the situation, because when it all comes out, they'll say, oh, you were just a crazy conspiracy theorist. okay, i'm not saying this is just a theory. this is doctor bret weinstein. you know the guy, right? >> i met him last week or two weeks. >> yes. and this is weinstein. this is what bret weinstein says. if i quote it on my apologise scientist. >> not maybe. although you might have just misquoted him, but i'll wait. >> well, you can go look at the youtube video. right. well, that's where i get my let's all do that. >> we've got a break coming up

shortly, but anyway, we're going to stick with the mail now. a political slogan gone wrong. what's this about? >> yeah, this is this is tom puig. this is what the tom tugendhat, tom tugendhat, tory leadership hopeful was forced to change his campaign slogan after it was discovered that it spelled out can i say what it spelled out can i say what it spelled out? >> not, you can spell itt spelled out? >> not, you can spell it t u r d because this was in the daily mail and because this his thing was, was together we can unite, rebuild, unite the party. it doesn't look like it does spell that, but i think it's because of the way it was put on the screen. yeah. >> if you look at it. yeah, it going downwards. it did, it did. >> well that's just, that's obviously just an accident. >> this story and i just took away the great thing would have been making lewis say that word. and i just saved him at the last minute. i don't know why, but yeah you can see it was last minute changed because it looked when they fixed it, it then said instead of defeat labour it said win back the country. and it's much longer than the other text because they had to change it last minute. so it doesn't spell this, but you would have thought that the people doing this sort

of pr and the focus groups and all that would have, would have spotted that you would have, but they didn't. and, you know, the tories have had some problems. i hear with competence lately. so it's probably another one of those. but tugendhat already apparently in the bbc today programme, was sort of prevaricating about whether he really would leave the echr. that's the big issue now, he said. he'll leave echr, which is surprising for one nation, but now he's rolling back and it's some people say, do you, nick? >> do you have a favourite for the tory leader? >> well, suella is my favourite, but if she runs but maybe she's not running. okay. >> and you would like to win. who do you think will win? oh, sorry, >> i think jenrick has a chance, but probably kemi is still the favourite. >> yeah, i mean i would go with kemi personally, but what do you think, louis? >> i think that if they get this guy tugendhat, they will have basically sealed their fate. there's no middle ground anymore in british politics because he's middle ground. he's not going to get rid of the echr and the people, the people on this side, whatever side it is, hate the echr the left, love the echr because they want to be part of team world, which is team europe. so this guy who i've

actually met, he's as flat as a as a wet dish. >> i couldn't disagree more. i met i met tom tugendhat, i thought he was smart and interesting and i think he's. >> did you was he team. was he team. was he fighting for britain? i don't know what you mean when you say team world though. what team world is. team world is the left is the saying we want to have open immigration. we want to have constant climate change. you know, whatever it is , doing know, whatever it is, doing stuff. it's everything that we hate , which is all the left hate, which is all the left wing. not that i hate it, but everything. >> are you trying to say in a roundabout way, that you would prefer a more right wing leader of the conservatives? i'm saying i'm saying if you do not. >> no, not exactly. what? yes. right wing, but instead. instead there's. >> so if they want to. right well then you would go with i mean, presumably suella is the right wing candidate. yeah. >> well, yeah. cammy's more. right. and then you've got cleverley and tugendhat on the other side. but the depressing thing is that the echr is the new brexit. it's just going to be whether we leave. but this

time the echr that's going to play time the echr that's going to play out massively. all right. >> well that's all for part two. but after the break we've got the bbc in voter being racist and milkshake brings all the boys to farage. stay

welcome back to headliners. your first look at friday's newspapers. we're going to jump straight back in with the guardian. now, some, good old fashioned racism of low expectations. what's happening? nick, cut to me on drinking water. >> yeah, it's uk voter id laws. attack democratic rights of people of colour, say artists in open letters. so lenny henry, anish kapoor and some other people has got a long list of in this odd letter saying that voter id laws are an attack on the democratic rights of people of colour, because 6.5% of voters of colour were turned away from the polling booth at least once, compared with 2.5% of white voters . of white voters. >> so, well, they're saying that that poll people of colour are less likely to have voter id.

>> yeah, but the reason i think it's silly is just get id. >> can you can you explain this to me, nick? because honestly, i keep hearing this. i've heard these stories in america as well about how voter id is racist. why can't, ethnic minority people apply for id? >> they can. i mean, that's what's kind of offensive about the whole thing. i've never, never understood that. yeah, you can obviously get id. i mean, it's just it's just empirically, it's just it's just empirically, it seems according to these polls , they don't tend to. polls, they don't tend to. therefore it's victimising them based on the data . but of based on the data. but of course, they could just get id andifs course, they could just get id and it's not like it's a sort of and it's not like it's a sort of a freedom issue really. like, oh, it's the chips in your in your head or the tony blair idea or the, you know, the centralised currency, the cashless society. really. we've already got id it's just bring yourid already got id it's just bring your id down. i don't think so. >> i'd like to see a bunch of celebrities now write an open letter complaining about the racism of these celebrities, implying that black people can't apply for id. >> well, that's been suggested. that's been it's been suggested in america that the point is, is that everybody has id like an american. here you have a driver's license. you you know, there's tons of different stuff that people have that they carry

around with them. and the reason why the they care about this is because people without an id vote for the left, that's why they're against it. but why they. because because they're letting masses of people into the country. >> are you saying left wing people are just more lazy, no less lazy, because they come into the country and they don't have id because they're here illegally? >> there's a huge amount. and the numbers of people who are here in the country, they say it's 66 million, but it's not 66 million. it's closer to 70. i've heard 77 million. it's a it's part of this. all these stories are the exact same thing. our enemy over there, right? wants to be. wants us to be one big blur with no states , no borders. blur with no states, no borders. which is why they attack israel. which is why they attack israel. which is why this country has become completely overrun . wow, become completely overrun. wow, is that too much? well, it's just too much . just too much. >> you're getting more right wing the more because i say no. >> you know what it is i'm saying. if you if you want a leftist country , then go against

leftist country, then go against voter id , because when you have voter id, because when you have the people coming in, when you have a million people coming into the country. >> right. well, my concern was more this, this insinuation that ethnic minority people are incapable of applying for id, which strikes me as racist because you're a word, man. >> this is not about words. this is about the idea that people who don't abide by your word man, your word man, it bothers you that somebody's feelings are hurt. >> i have to, put a stop to this. we're going to move to on the metro now. this is a gay festival which has been criticised for throwing milkshakes . milkshakes. >> i've had i've had two weeks away from this. i've been i've been on holiday. it doesn't show. >> you've been in malta and you've forgotten all your social skills. >> yes, demagogue. >> yes, demagogue. >> i know , because who's >> i know, because who's covering the gay milkshake? that's me. that's me. lbgt pride festival criticised for throwing milkshakes over nigel farage game. they have a game where they where you could throw a milkshake, and if you hit the milkshake, and if you hit the milkshake on nigel farage, he's not actually nigel farage. it's

a cut—out a cut—out of nigel farage. but what does it say to the people? it says it's okay to throw a milkshake on nigel farage. it's not okay. and this should be i don't know whether it should be against the law, but maybe they should throw the milkshakes at the people running the thing. >> i mean, for balance, they should have had you know, like someone from the labour party . someone from the labour party. yeah. and throw milkshake at them. some of them. the thing is, lewis , i they're going a bit is, lewis, i they're going a bit far. you know, some of the people complaining about it are saying that this is incitement to violence since the assassination attempt on trump. this is particularly irresponsible and should be i'm like they are throwing sponges. like i don't think this is incitement to violence. >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> well, considering that people have thrown things on nigel farage at least twice that i know of, did those people throw those things because they once went to a fairground where they had a throw milkshake at nigel farage game, and they were inched farage game, and they were incited to do so , no, but this incited to do so, no, but this is more it is a bit of incitement. i'm not. i don't know if it should be illegal. i don't think it should be illegal to do that. >> it should be. i think incitement are missing, andrew. >> is that it? it's part of the

culture that encourages that and makes it seem okay to dehumanise people like farage throw milkshakes on him. he now can't even get on a train. he has to go even get on a train. he has to 90 by even get on a train. he has to go by car. he has to have security. we have seen the trump assassination attempt, the idea is you're allowed to just do anything you want to. people on that side of politics on the right, on the conservative side. and this is part of that. i know it's silly. i think. i think it's silly. i think. i think it's infantile. >> i think it's infantile. i think it's not i think it's not helpful, but i don't think it's incitement to violence. it's not incitement to violence. it's not incitement on its own, but it's part of a wider culture that makes it a permissive culture of attacks against conservative figures. yes, but you wouldn't want to see this banned, would you, on the grounds that it creates a culture within which a certain attitude can thrive, because then you're going to be banning everything? >> yeah, i'd probably ban it. >> yeah, i'd probably ban it. >> you would ban it. yeah. but on what grounds? >> just the grounds. i've just said
