are you both doing? >> good. how are you? i'm good. >> good. how are you? i'm good. >> thanks. how are you? >> thanks. how are you? >> good. yeah. we enjoyed our houday >> good. yeah. we enjoyed our holiday together. >> we did. it was lovely. yeah. >> we did. it was lovely. yeah. >> i mean, did you call each other to coordinate this? >> we've actually never met before until tonight. yeah. well, hope. >> hope. wonderful things come from this union. does anyone remember eurotrash, the late night show that featured the weirdest people europe had to offer belgian bondage queens and men who dressed up as bears. well, you might have thought it made a comeback if you were watching the olympics opening ceremony last night in paris, a bearded drag queen pranced like a drunk dad at a wedding. a non—binary smurf reclined in a bowl of salad, and a woman who has clearly never been near a salad was the centrepiece of a tableau that mocked the last suppen tableau that mocked the last supper. but by the looks of her, it wasn't our only supper. she's not pontius pilate . she's pile not pontius pilate. she's pile those portions on my plate. there's a real fall of the roman empire vibe to the paris olympics, when commodus brings out the transgender smurfs. you know, you're about to get a javelin in the neck from a

visigoth. apparently, police foiled several isis terror plots. they were planning to attack the olympics. there's no need. terrorists can stay home and watch western civilisation willingly destroying itself. and this isn't what the olympics is about. it's supposed to be about finding out which country has the fastest black people. it's not radical gender ideology and christianophobia. i'm not even sure if that's a word, but i've made it up. why do they only do this to christianity? can you imagine the uproar if they mocked an islamic tradition such as the hajj pilgrimage with smurfs and drag queens? heads would literally roll. now, i've got to ask you both. i mean, did you watch the opening ceremony of the olympics? because i know in britain we're quite proud of 2012. we did quite a good job with the industrial revolution. the nhs all portrayed and this just isn't the same. this just seems to be revelling in degeneracy. >> so i didn't watch it last night, but i caught up today. yeah. and the big question that i had to ask short one. why?

why? you know, when you watch something and you go, but you know how good things are, but you know, when you walk through london and you see amazing art deco houses and you go, oh, didn't they do it? well, back in the day? and then you see some tripe that they built in the 70s and you're like, but you knew how houses were built. you knew what good looks like, right? we've got that education. so why on earth did you do this? it just it doesn't make any sense because it was horrid. it was offensive. it was basically everything that was bad . they everything that was bad. they had a woman that looked like ursula from little mermaid, and at the centre of it, it was. it was just terrible. what did you think? >> i thought the makeup application in particular was really poor. >> i did they do it with a shotgun, i don't know, they did it with a trowel and i didn't think they did it with a lot of time, >> yeah. no, it didn't look, it wasn't blended, it wasn't giving. >> it was patchy. >> it was patchy. >> it was patchy. >> it was patchy because i expected the blue thing to come

out of one of those silver domes. right? yeah. you know , domes. right? yeah. you know, like, remember when george dawes and whoever and they did masterchef, and then they ate someone's bum ? yes, so that someone's bum? yes, so that probably happened. >> i mean, look at this. >> i mean, look at this. >> look at this blue smurf. it's like a sort of bacchanalian, you know, moloch worshipping, scene. it's absolutely insane. and some people were complaining that you could see the outline of his genhaua could see the outline of his genitalia through his. i think that's the least of it. yeah, and it doesn't. i mean, i don't understand what about. this is french. it just, this this just looks like a weird, acid flashback, as you mentioned. >> what london did . we had >> what london did. we had a whole history about it. you know, we bought our culture, everything into it. at what point did france go? we're going to get a blue transgender smurf to get a blue transgender smurf to roll around in a salad at the french people going, oh, yes, this is very prominent to our country. >> i think that that's the big thing. they didn't seem to be particularly authentically french. yeah, where were the men

in stripy jumpers. the onion johnnies of onions? yes where's the garlic? >> yeah. where's the. >> yeah. where's the. >> where's the girl? >> where's the girl? >> who's the dog? >> who's the dog? >> having a poo in a pavement. >> having a poo in a pavement. >> where was karl lagerfeld? i said that earlier. there should have been a huge balloon or choupette his cat. >> yeah, and also what officials describe as coordinated operations. fibre optic cables were subjected to arson attacks at strategic points to disrupt the trains, taking people to the olympic games. officials suspect that this isn't the work of isis or russian agents, but is in fact left wing radicals who are attacking the olympics as a symbol of capitalism. and to remind president macron what they can do if he doesn't select a far left prime minister, the sources said the attacks recalled similar incidents. incidents involving leftist activists, including an anarchist attack on overhead lines in 2008. i mean , we just lines in 2008. i mean, we just briefly wanted to mention this because, you know, they've foiled a lot of, terror plots on the olympics this year. but there are still this plot that took down a lot of the train

lines. >> and, well, there's a huge amount because the eurostar is still not running fully, is it? so i mean, it's coming over this way as well. so it's a very it's been a very well thought out campaign of terror , almost as if campaign of terror, almost as if people are on the inside and they know what they're doing. >> now. moving on. it's over. joe biden or whatever's left of joe biden or whatever's left of joe biden or whatever's left of joe biden has officially dropped out of the running to be president. in his place, he's nominated the original de haya kamala harris. the republicans saw this as a gift. there was even speculation that joe had doneit even speculation that joe had done it deliberately to stitch up people in the democratic establishment who forced him to stand down. trump must be delighted. kamala doesn't always make a lot of sense. take a look at this. >> i think that to be very honest with you, i do believe that we should have rightly believed, but we certainly believed, but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled, certain issues are just settled, certain issues are just settled, certain issues are just settled . just settled. >> clearly we're not. >> clearly we're not. >> no, that's right. and that's why i do believe that we are living sadly in real unsettled

times . times. >> i have no idea what any of that meant. kamala speaks with the grace and intellect of someone who can almost conceptualise how she'd feel if she hadn't eaten breakfast. and if you thought that was bad, take a look at this. >> today's today and yesterday was today . yesterday. tomorrow was today. yesterday. tomorrow will be today. tomorrow. so live today. so the future today will be as the past. today as i don't think i've ever been that drunk . think i've ever been that drunk. >> and i'm scottish. and if you think that america's foreign policy is going to be in good hands, think again. listen to this. >> ukraine is a country in europe. it exists next to another country called russia. russia is a bigger country. russia is a bigger country. russia is a powerful country. russia is a powerful country. russia decided to invade a smaller country called ukraine. so basically that's wrong . so basically that's wrong. >> i mean, if she's explaining

the situation to diane abbott or a seven year old, that would maybe be acceptable. i mean, jul was useless, but kamala is useless and screechy and does this horrendous laugh at inappropriate moments like doctor herbert from the simpsons, if he was a wine mom, she got where she is by taking the knee for blm and taking both knees for willie brown. that's not a racial euphemism, by the way. he was a mayor. she was also montel williams. williams sidepiece for a while, but record in office office is dismal. as former attorney general of california, she oversaw the decline of cities such as san francisco into degeneracy drugs , homelessness. degeneracy drugs, homelessness. i can't even talk now. i'm catching the kamala bug and crane. she's the original dea hire her own campaign to become the democrat presidential nominee in 2019, crashed early as policies such as rent subsidies and banning fracking were too far left, even for the democrats. but joe biden hired her as vp anyway because she's a black woman, after he received a letter from prominent leftists demanding that a black woman be hired. not that he should hire the best person, but just hire a

black woman . and as his vice black woman. and as his vice president, she's partly responsible for his dismal record of overspending, inflation, soaring crime and 8 million migrant encounters nationwide. now, what do you make of kamala stepping into joe biden's boots ? biden's boots? >> it's interesting watching that because it reminds me of a thing with patricia routledge called ladies of lavender, in which there is a scene where she goes, thank you for your thank you note, thanking me for my thank you letter. so it just seems to be like guff on a loop. i don't know if it's i, i mean, i don't know if it's i, i mean, i make more sense on headliners and as anyone that watches that show, i know nothing. but even i wouldn't make some of those mistakes. but i will say she looks great for her age and the hair is shiny. >> she is. i mean, she's what, 59, 60? >> yeah, i'm not too sure, but genuinely, when i saw that i was i thought they were parodies. yeah, i thought i had just watched them together and be like, oh, this would be funny. i've had drink that much. i know. it's like i've had that conversation with two kinds of people. five year olds. yeah. and the guy that didn't pass the

doobie at the house party and kept it to all himself and then came back and was like, i've got a yesterday was today . yeah. a yesterday was today. yeah. yesterday. and you're like , yesterday. and you're like, what's i mean, where are you going with this? it's pretty incredible that she can seem lucid and competent next to joe biden. >> but do you think it's going to help trump, or do you think trump is going to have trouble running against her? >> well, i don't know, because she's not challenged trump to having a debate. and he said no because he cited instability within their camp, which is going something of your trump because he's saying that, you know, she might not be the candidate post the democratic convention. so i have said this repeatedly , and there is a point repeatedly, and there is a point to this. i was watching lorraine the other day, and there is a woman that reads asparagus. and the woman. no, honestly, lorraine wasn't presenting. it was christine. >> it was going to be a woman. >> it was going to be a woman. >> said it was going to be a woman, but it's going to be michelle. no, it kept coming up with aim. so although the obamas have taken a wee bit of time, i think, to endorse kamala, i'm not necessarily sure. but then we were speaking about it earlier and some people think

that not this time around, but maybe the next presidential thing, michelle will come in. but, you know, it's what the asparagus says. >> we are basing all of this on asparagus rust in the asparagus. >> well, coming up, we will assess the week's heroes and villains, and i'll show you what happens next. when this lad climbs onto his bunk bed to see the undoubtedly painful result. stay with

us. welcome back to the saturday night showdown. cursed or blessed is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when that lad climbed onto his bed. let's take a look. >> why do you keep him alive? >> why do you keep him alive? >> that's a classic prank. his mates have obviously removed the spars. the spars? that's what

they're called. yeah, you know that you've been in prison? >> yes. no, i was just saying. it reminds me of juvie, where i really came into my own. i ran that place. yeah. you've still got the shorts. >> that's no time to go through the winners. and losers of the week. oh, can we trust climate scientists? they insist that july has seen record hot temperatures. don't they know we can go outside and experience temperatures for ourselves? never mind. the hottest july on record. i'm not even sure it's the hottest july this year. can we trust their figures? though? the daily sceptic blog questioned a record high temperature measured by the runway measured next to the runway measured next to the runway at raf coningsby on the afternoon of july the 19th. it jumped and then dropped significantly over a few minutes with no apparent change in weather conditions. to explain it now , could this change in it now, could this change in temperature have come actually from raf planes using the runway? other climate questioners have said that global temperatures appear to be rising faster than they are because of increased urbanisation, which is raising the temperature around weather

stations. i'd say the climate scientists could be gaslighting us, but gaslight would generate some sort of heat and co2. i mean, hottest july l i i'm not i'm not believing that for a moment . it said we've had about moment. it said we've had about two days. we can get a tan. >> this is the second day i've put my shorts on. i'm making the most of it. i think virtually the same. apart from our yachting holiday. well, clearly it's not hot. it's not hot. all i know when it's hot because i tan and i've not been on my balcony once. i just don't think it's worth it. yeah, but yet we've been told it's getting hotter and hotter. i do think that, you know, the climate is getting hotter. yeah, but, you know, i'm just i'm really ambivalent about the whole situation because they give us facts, but then there's lies and then there's rafe doing things. and the met get it wrong. so i don't know. i just sit back and dnnk don't know. i just sit back and drink some prosecco. >> the graph on the screen now that shows this is their measurements of how i mean, this is global temperatures. they weren't just looking at, you know, the green space outside. my

know, the green space outside. my flat. but this is global temperatures and it shows that july is apparently, you know, peaking above all records. and you see the grey shows, all the all the temperatures over the past, past years, i don't know, in my opinion. also also, i mean , in my opinion. also also, i mean, temperatures might be going up around the globe. it might be terrible for a lot of people, but we're scottish. no, it's honestly, it's not going to be that bad for us. we'll just stop growing turnips, start growing grapes, we'll take a layer off. >> well, i think we have taken a layer off, tops off. but, no, i've been in touch with home today and it is raining, so i don't believe it's necessarily got hotter. i do believe it's got hotter. i do believe it's got wetter . and that is the got wetter. and that is the whole point of living in edinburgh and not living in glasgow is because you want away from the rain, but now they're becoming equidistant. but now i'm in my shorts from may, and through interlocked, september i just, i don't, i don't care, but it's not, it's not been as hot as it was last year in london. right, because i'm carrying a little extra weight , because little extra weight, because i've rediscovered sourdough and i've rediscovered sourdough and i've had no boob sweat today at

all. and i walked through hyde park and i was as dry as a bone. wow. yeah >> impressive result for a scotsman . we do. scotsman. we do. >> we do have a response from the met office , who i believe the met office, who i believe said they've confirmed that they do believe, that the process of measurement, was, was , was measurement, was, was, was wrong. correct. so the process of verifying met office records is a rigorous one, ensuring that all readings are collected are accurate. part of this process is to ensure that our temperature records reflect the weather and climate at the time, and have not been adversely influenced by other factors such as loads of raf typhoons taking off in a runway right next to the weather station, which i think could have affected it. they say the scorching heat was not just confined to raf coningsby, nor was it the only weather station that recorded temperatures of 40 degrees c and above. temperatures of 40 degrees c and above . so i mean, they're the above. so i mean, they're the experts. moving on. i'm sure we've all seen the shocking video apparently showing a police officer kicking a man in

the head at manchester airport. i personally found it shocking to see the police tackling a suspect instead of dancing at a pride parade or arresting someone for a tweet. and before anyone starts crying about this poon anyone starts crying about this poor, innocent man who's getting kicked in the head . apparently kicked in the head. apparently he was part of a group who attacked a policewoman and broke her nose. yeah, they've got lady police officers now. and i mean, isn't that if you saw a woman being attacked and her nose being attacked and her nose being broken, wouldn't you think that that man might deserve a bit of rough justice? but the context doesn't matter to some people. a crowd of muslims gathered around rochdale police station, pelting it with eggs and kicking the door. let's have and kicking the door. let's have a look. here's my co—worker. >> what are you doing ? >> what are you doing? >> what are you doing? >> i haven't seen moves like that since i was at school, and we put on a production of the karate kid. and here's the video of the egg throwing. >> oh, yeah. go on, just watch him. yeah. don't get him in the top one. you can't clean them . top one. you can't clean them. >> this is a week on.

>> did he just say you can't clean them? >> get the top ones. the top ones. >> you can't clean them. they can't. they've got ladders . can't. they've got ladders. anyway a week on from this is a week on from the riots in leeds where police had to retreat because they had insufficient numbers. i mean, there's nobody else concerned that parts of britain are now under mob rule. i mean , i'm kind of concerned i mean, i'm kind of concerned about this as much as i find the find the mob quite hilarious with their ineffective kicking of doors and pelting of eggs, >> but why is it always foodstuffs? it's the same with the just stop oil people, you know , in a cost of living know, in a cost of living crisis, people are wasting eggs in cans of soup, and it's like, get a grip. >> yeah, it's good orange corn flour. >> i can make a good omelette out of that. >> well, yeah. >> well, yeah. >> do you think we could get all these protesters together and make some sort of full english breakfast? >> that is a show that i would watch. like that is a good use of time. i think it's a good idea. we should pitch it. but on a serious note, as a woman that lives in london, i am a bit concerned about everything that's going on at the moment

because there was a point that i just felt safe, like i would go out at night, walk the streets, there'd be alone, you know, not on the street corners, not that kind of way. no. but i, you know, i felt safe and it was fine. do you not? no. no. really. no. right. and i've had a few kind of interactions recently and it's not necessarily that anything has happened, but it's like the way people look at you or you think, do you know what? you wouldn't hesitate to do something. and when you see a man basically attack police officers and punch attack police officers and punch a female police officer in the face, like i don't have the powers that the police do. so if you're willing to punch a female police officer in the face, what are you going to do to me? and there stood outside a police station pelting of eggs. so i think they need to be prosecuted. and it needs to be hard because otherwise they're just going to keep doing it. it's like. >> and it seems the police are, you know, to a certain extent, don't have the powers, aren't equipped with the powers to deal with send the army in. yeah. they're running away in leeds because they didn't have that. and, you know, the rioters, they

burnt buses, they flipped police cars. but what if they decided to go, you know, door to door, you know, harming people or burning properties with people inside them, but. >> well, that but it's interesting what you say that they can, you know, arrest people for tweeting or social media comments. but when there's actual fisticuffs, for want of a better word, they seem to not be able to do anything. so it's a bit like it's a bit like the inland revenue. they go after the low hanging fruit. >> yeah, the low hanging fruit we saw at the paris olympics, the blue smurf. no, americans won't believe this. but in the uk you have to buy a tv licence, which mainly goes to pay for the bbc. well, this hasn't been introduced for other household appliances. there's no need to buy a microwave licence or a dishwasher licence. the people who enforce licence payment have all the empathy and tact of mafia enforcers. it was reported on gb news this week that a cancer patient was prosecuted and given a £120 fine for failing to pay for his tv licence fee while he was in hospital and receiving medical treatment. the man who lives in

wales, was on a simple payment plan of £18.08 a month to pay for his tv licence. however, whilst he was undergoing surgery at the royal shrewsbury hospital for prostate cancer, the direct debit did not go through. he said i didn't realise that my tv licence had been cancelled due to my bank not paying the direct debit whilst i was in hospital having surgery for cancer on december the seventh. it was the second operation for cancer in 12 months. this is in a letter that he explained to the court. seen by the evening standard, which outlined the mitigating circumstances. i mean, surely this guy has enough on his plate to deal with without having to worry about a direct debit , but worry about a direct debit, but that's the whole thing. >> how many times have you been in for an operation, whether you're a day patient or you're having a colonoscopy and you're thinking, oh, could someone transfer over some money to that? my direct debit doesn't bounce. yeah. you know, you're not really thinking about your credit rating or, you know, you're hoping that you live. so i think yeah, they need to relax . yeah. >> we've had other cases like this and apparently, almost a

third of women who are prosecuted who get criminal convictions in this country is for is for non—payment of the tv licence. >> so it's the only crime where women surpass men in prison where you need to do better. >> we need to stop being. >> we need to stop being. >> we're just not paying that tv licence, right? we don't care for it. >> yeah, but do you know what i think, people? >> i'm not against the tv licence. do you know, like the bbc? it serves a purpose. i listen to the radio. there's lots of different things it does. okay, fine. i've not really got an issue with paying it, but i do have an issue with is them being really forceful on people that either can't pay it or are in situations where they're in hospital and, you know, they've just forgotten about things. so just let there needs to be some leniency with it and not send people to prison. like sending people to prison. like sending people to prison for not paying a tv licence is insane. well not everyone likes eastenders, so i mean, that could be your thing. also, an opt out like . yeah, also, an opt out like. yeah, look at that. like not everyone likes netflix. i pay for

netflix, i use netflix. well, that's the thing. >> if the bbc is such a great institution, then surely people will be happy to pay for it. so they shouldn't be going after and prosecuting people who. because i've heard that people haven't paid the tv licence in decades and i've had them come round to the door and, you know, try and shake me down and it's, you know, netflix don't do that if you cancel your subscription. >> but also, i know people that absolutely love the bbc. i know absolutely love the bbc. i know a few that used to work for it and all. you can't speak badly about the bbc. i have, i work for it. yeah that's great. so but i also think certain people would opt into paying more. right. you know, to cover the costs for people that can't. and if they open that up for an option, i think, i think there's a lot of people that would do it. okay. you know, would you want to pay more to cover you know, sally that lives on her own and can't even afford cat food. she hasn't even got a cat. i don't know why she's paying for cat food. >> i would pay more of the council doctors. i think that's a disgrace. >> so anyway, next. >> so anyway, next. >> next on the saturday night showdown, culture corner. plus,

>> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. let's have a look and see what was going on with senate majority leader chuck schumer when he got happy talking about kamala harris . talking about kamala harris. >> now that the process has played out from the grassroots bottom up, we are here today to throw our support behind vice president kamala harris. i'm clapping. you don't have to . clapping. you don't have to. >> that's not a good omen . >> that's not a good omen. that's not a good omen. it's not much of a honeymoon period. no that's that's the whole thing. >> why aren't they clapping for

her? but i'm glad he's pro bottoms. that's always. it's always good to know because i feel they're very marginalised. how did you get passed over for that paris olympics ceremony? i have no idea. i could have just done some light chat in the crowd. >> you wouldn't even need to take the shorts off. >> i could have been the red button. >> again, elon musk has done a heartfelt interview with jordan peterson recently that gave an insight into just why elon is such a passionate opponent of wokeism. >> let's have a look at this . >> let's have a look at this. >> let's have a look at this. >> just explain to me that puberty blockers are actually just sterilisation drugs , so , just sterilisation drugs, so, anyway , and so i lost my son anyway, and so i lost my son essentially. so, you know, they , essentially. so, you know, they, they call it deadnaming for a reason. yeah. i all right. so the reason it's called deadnaming is because, your son is dead . so my son xavier is is dead. so my son xavier is dead. he killed by the woke mind

virus . virus. >> so his son, i mean, elon was talking about his son, who he said was autistic and gay , was said was autistic and gay, was sort of channelled into railroaded into, taking puberty blockers and transitioning. and he says it's, you know, it's not been the best outcome for him. >> so this is a subject that i feel really closely to because i don't understand why we're telling children that they're born in the wrong body and why they need to amputate themselves in order to become the true selves. >> so i was a kid , we were told, >> so i was a kid, we were told, are all bodies are right? >> yeah. i was in scotland, so they were obviously wrong. there was a lot of disgraceful bodies. >> oh yeah, it's absolutely insane. >> oh yeah, it's absolutely insane . i wanted to be a boy. insane. i wanted to be a boy. when i was a kid, i did all of my friends were boys. i was a full time boy. i came out as straight to my parents, like, wow, that's the level that i was at. like, if i wasn't up a tree, i was on my bike. i was doing boy stuff like the stereotypical things. but then, like, i grew up surprise , surprise, i'm a

up surprise, surprise, i'm a heterosexual woman because what did i go through? puberty? i was a teenager. i grew into myself , a teenager. i grew into myself, and now i love to put on a dress and now i love to put on a dress and heels and go and stop myself. but i also love to put on a tool belt and go and hit a wall. it doesn't matter. it doesn't matter what i do. i'm still a woman. but at no point did anyone say to me, oh, i think you're stuck in the wrong body. because if they had, i'd probably be elliot today because i would have just listened to them and gone , yeah, that's it. them and gone, yeah, that's it. i'm in the wrong body. i'm definitely a boy. it's all wrong. so this puberty blocker thing, it's insane. everyone needs to go through puberty to become adults. >> and that's what the tavistock gender clinic even joked about how they were erasing a generation of gay young people . generation of gay young people. >> but there is such a thing as genuine gender dysphoria. yeah, yes there is, but it's not across the board. it's not. >> and in a lot of cases it's resolved by puberty , right? resolved by puberty, right? rather than, you know, giving kids drugs and hormones and puberty blockers. yeah, >> no, i mean yeah. no i agree,

i, i don't know, i think it must be difficult. i think it must be really difficult if you're a parent of a child and your child goes through that, that that must be. >> but also i don't think giving the incorrect hormones to any child or adult is ever a good move. no. you know , we're move. no. you know, we're basically giving anyone drugs that they're not supposed to take is never going to be positive. like, and i've been to enough house parties to tell you that. but basically we should just be telling every child, do you know what? you're perfect exactly the way you are . that's exactly the way you are. that's fine. right? jemmy likes to play with dolls and he likes pink. that's absolutely fine. let jemmy do that. but jimmy's still a boy. let's not cut his willy off and put him on a lifelong series of drugs, because it's not going to help. then we're just going to have a messed up adult. >> sounds like common sense, a new disability, inclusive pride flag has been launched. the creator of the intersex inclusive pride flag, valentino vecchietti, has now incorporated the disability flag in the shape

of a heart into the inclusive pride flag. take a look at this, which begs the question why did the pride flag exclude disabled people up until now? oh my god, can we tear down all previous iterations of the pride flag as ableist? i mean, do you think the pride flag is getting out of control? it seems to be spreading beyond representing lesbian, gay and bisexual people to represent all kinds of identities and straight fetishes and disabled people. >> and race is just going to be a multicoloured blob soon. >> and i don't know what is the circle mean. >> the circle it means, is it asexuals or something like that? something like that. >> let's go with. >> let's go with. >> but the thing is, the badges are just going to get bigger and bigger and bigger to the point where people will probably have an imbalance thing. they'll have something wrong with their spine because they're trying to keep the massive thing that'll have to go on the flag. >> yeah, spinal bending due to wearing a pride flag. >> yeah. well, yeah. spinal bending. i'm consider that stowlawn. >> i think they need to start taking the crayons away. it's got out of hand. but i went to

philadelphia pride last year and there was loads of different flags. right. and i started it's like a bit of a joke to myself. and i was to talking people, oh, what's this flag, what's this flag? and it's so like you've got the lesbian flag, the non—binary, the asexual. but i didn't understand is back in the day, we had the pride flag. it was the six stripes and that was it. and it was inclusive and that flag. everyone. everyone. and it was like, do you know what? it doesn't matter who you are or what colour you are or who you want to love, that's fine. you're included in this flag. and then by dividing it up, they've actually excluded everyone and put them in their own little subgroups , which own little subgroups, which we're all fighting each other. exactly. >> and so when they added chevrons, i think they added a black and brown chevron to represent people of colour, people of colour. but they were already in it. but the stripes didn't represent colour. there aren't yellow people and purple people, but no andrew doyle does a whole host of material about that. >> there is no one that's mauve or yellow or any of that kind of stuff. more's the pity . i would stuff. more's the pity. i would like to meet someone mauve. >> there was a blue person in

paris last night. >> yeah, but i don't think they were authentically blue. that wasn't a good shade on them. >> under these lights. >> under these lights. >> i think we can maybe achieve it, now moving on. actor richard ayoade has defended graham linehan, known affectionately as glitter. he's the creator of comedy classics such as father ted and the it crowd, which ayoade started. ayoade described linehan as a man of great principle. now, linehan has been widely cancelled for his stance on gender ideology and support for biological reality. glenn glener is opposed to giving children drugs, hormones, puberty blockers and unnecessary surgery, which, as we've already discussed , sounds like common discussed, sounds like common sense, but it made glitter very unpopular with ugly blue haired communist freaks who everyone listens to for some weird reason. praising glitter is a ballsy move for richard ayoade, who's previously criticised by women like me for praising graham linehan's book tough crowd, which details graham's travails with cancel culture. gleaners gender critical stance has since been vindicated by the cass review. yeah, it turns out

that drugging castrating children isn't such a good idea. who could have guessed? and now glitter is enjoying a renaissance , and only millennial renaissance, and only millennial freaks who take all their cues from fat they them's on threads. think he's on the wrong side of history now you delighted to see glitter being accepted back into the fold and making making money and making, making comedy again. >> i am like, he was a fantastic comedy writer. he stood up for women's rights. yeah, because that's it's the ever long argument . apparently, just being argument. apparently, just being pro—women is anti—trans. so therefore, if you're pro trans, you must be anti—women. but no one's ever sort of putting those together. and it's always women that lose. so like the olympics is on at the moment. we've got male athletes that want to be women, so they go and do that. it's not a retirement plan for men to just go along and go from like 600th in the men to number one in women, because you're not a women. and it's the whole thing about gender reality. like i do not care what anyone wants to dress like, how they want to

act, their favourite hobbies on this panel? yeah we want to dress the same today. that's fine. but at the end of the day, a man is a man and a woman is a woman. so that'sjust a man is a man and a woman is a woman. so that's just the reality. and when you take away that and you remove safeguarding, it's always going to be women that lose . and he to be women that lose. and he announced this early on and said it's only going to get worse. and for some reason he got cancelled because everyone was too scared to stand up to the blue haired people. yeah. and now i think the tide's changing. yeah. >> and like you say, i mean , >> and like you say, i mean, sanity is coming back for women. doesn't necessarily mean that you're you're anti—trans. many of us manage to be anti—women and anti—trans. >> well, there you go. and well done you. but i think it will be interesting to see if richard is then cancelled by casting directors. and whatever coming out in support of someone who is sensibly gave him his big break. >> yeah, and that's why i really respect richard ayoade, cahones, for coming out and sticking to his principles. i think that's, you know, in ten years time, whenever he's looking back on this, people are going to respect him for that. and they respect him for that. and they respect him for it now. anyway,

next in the saturday night showdown, we've got an epic clown world for you this week. plus, i'll show you what really happened when trump took to the stage to give a find out how it went down

>> welcome back to the saturday night showdown. an epic clown world is coming up. but first, i promised i would show you what happened when donald trump took to the stage to give a speech. let's take a look. >> take a look at what happened oven over. >> oven >> that's what really happened . >> that's what really happened. he wasn't shot at all? no. we hear a lot about diversity, eqtu hear a lot about diversity, equity and inclusion. it governs all organisations. and it says it strives to provide inclusivity so that everyone is included. sounds lovely, doesn't it? but what does it mean in practice, though ? well, here's practice, though? well, here's a dei expert to explain this. >> the room and very rarely does it look like you know anyone who

reflects my community or my friends or my circle . and so friends or my circle. and so i decided, you know, hell, focus group of one, team of one. i'm going to just hire myself again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again. if i want to increase the numbers of diversity, or especially black women in tech, i'm going to do it myself . i'm going to do it myself. >> so she goes to on say how she only hires black women . and the only hires black women. and the company came to her and said, like, you're only hiring black women. like what's what's going on? and she said, yeah, this is basically, this is diversity, right? which isn't diversity. that's the opposite of diversity. i thought the whole point was that broadens the pool that you can hire from. >> so this will show you how fundamentally stupid i am as an individual. >> i genuinely thought she meant that she gave herself the job every time. no, genuinely i did because i was sitting with the producer and i'm thinking, how can you employ yourself all the time? that seems unfair and surely you should be investigated. but she means people that are hired, doesn't she? >> yeah. and doesn't this, doesn't this go against the whole ethos of, you know, martin luther king saying judge people

in the content of their character rather than the colour of their skin. >> this is judging them exclusively on the content of their skin, and never mind trying to get the best candidate. you're just you're leaving out, you know, a whole swathe of candidates because they don't fit the right demographic group. >> like you said, if everyone in the same group is the same colour, that's not diverse anymore , is it? so diversity is anymore, is it? so diversity is having a mix of, you know , having a mix of, you know, white, black, jewish, christian, muslim all come together. we're going to learn from each other. so if you just do a tilt shift and i do get it in tech it's always been old white men. fine. but that's why you need the diversity. but you also need to be good at the job. yeah, that's really important. so there's no point just going to employ everyone that looks like they're on victoria's secret for the black edition when they know nothing about tech. >> why don't we do it in the sprinting at the olympics? why don't we make sure there's, you know , every single type of know, every single type of person. there's a fat person , person. there's a fat person, there's a lazy person. there's somebody who doesn't like running. >> it's going that way. it's going that way. >> i've watched that olympics

anyway. anjum chowdhury was found guilty of directing a terrorist organisation this week. he became the first ever brit to be convicted for membership of the extremist islamist terror group al—muhajiroun. but where was this international terrorist living? will the daily mail revealed this week that a british diplomat working for the foreign office rented out her £550,000 east london terraced house to anjum chowdhury? that's terrorist as in on a terrace, not terrorist. he used this house as a base to preach terror around the world for him . i around the world for him. i mean, it's surely worrying that the civil service, which is supposed to keep us safe as people, as employing people so accommodating to terrorists, this is kind of worrying. doesn't it speak to some sort of bias inside our civil service? >> i mean , the whole story is >> i mean, the whole story is completely insane. i don't know why anyone at that position is renting their house out. like where have they gone? yeah, that's a that's a big question for me. and why are they renting it out to an extremist. yeah.

like did did they know this did. right. move to background checks. should be a form that. >> yeah. you do background checks. you make sure they're not an international terrorist, but also as well we're aware that this was going to come out. >> yeah i don't understand that at all. >> so weird. no. >> so weird. no. >> well i guess i guess, you know, councils in london have been caught giving houses to hamas. now, many people want their funeral to be a celebration of their life instead of a depressing, maudlin sobfest. and i think this man, who we assume is a big fan of cars, wins the medal for having the happiest funeral. check this sukh. why so i think he's blown a casket . little joke there. casket. little joke there. >> yeah. >> yeah. >> no no no no, i got that. and also, it could be the workings of an internal combustion engine that he blew as well with that, who propped him up ? i'm sorry. who propped him up? i'm sorry. i'm really pedestrian and a

bafic i'm really pedestrian and a basic b on that. that really upsets me. it does not upset me. i mean, you know, i think that's fine, but it kind of it scares me. i wouldn't like to go in that room. i'm a very nervous person. >> i've only seen a couple of dead bodies when they're laid out. and i would have loved because it looks weird. >> have you seen one in a car? >> you know, when you go into the funeral parlour, they're kind of waxy and stuff. >> i'd love it if, you know, my granddad had been spinning round in a in a car. >> well, i just think he's dead. like he doesn't care. and i've seen so many people go, oh, if l, seen so many people go, oh, if i, if i attended that funeral, i'd leave this. but also, he doesn't care . he's just like, i doesn't care. he's just like, i want to sit in a car and spin round. >> that's next. >> that's next. >> up next is mark dolan tonight. what have you got for us this evening, mark? >> well, it was a great show tonight. >> comic genius, i would say. leo kearse and in the spirit of that will be remembering the remarkable tony hancock . would remarkable tony hancock. would he get away with that kind of comedy in our woke era? in my take at ten, 2.6 million christians insulted at last night olympics opening ceremony, and in my opinion, prince harry,

the world's least happy millionaire, strikes again. >> amazing. i can't wait to see it , mark. anyway, that's it for it, mark. anyway, that's it for the saturday night show down. thanks to my brilliant panel tonight, bruce devlin and albert do check them out when they're doing their live shows. and don't forget headliners as well tonight at 11 pm. and tomorrow bruce and i are going to be on free speech nation and see you on this show next week. i hope. take care. bye >> looks like things are heating up. boxt boilers sponsors of weather on gb news >> hello, good evening and welcome to your gb news weather update brought to you by the met office. well, it's been quite an unsettled start to the weekend, but as high pressure builds we're going to see plenty of dry weather on sunday. and that's because this weather front that's been affecting us today will generally fizzle out. and then we've got high pressure building into the atlantic and moving its way across the uk for sunday. back to you tonight though. and any showers would generally be easing away leaving

a largely dry evening and staying largely dry overnight to plenty of clear spells, which means we're likely to see some mist and fog overnight, particularly in those rural spots. and that's where it's going to be feeling a little bit cooler, too. but most towns and cities remaining in the low double digits. so to start on sunday morning, then there should be plenty of bright sunshine around. but as i say, there will be spots of mist and fog around, particularly in rural spots across devon and cornwall and rural parts of wales. but plenty of bright sunshine elsewhere, and it's going to be a fairly mild night too, which means it's going to be quite a warm start to sunday as well. a bit more cloudy across northwestern parts of scotland and in the north of scotland and in the north of scotland too , and just a chance scotland too, and just a chance of a few showers feeding in here as well. but otherwise for sunday, as high pressure builds, there will be plenty of dry, fine weather around . feeling fine weather around. feeling very warm in some spots. but do take care as uvb levels are expected to be quite high into the afternoon. though we are going to see cloud build into

the far northwest of scotland and later on into western parts of northern ireland, so more in the way of hazy sunshine there. but elsewhere, where you do catch those prolonged, sunnier periods, that's where it's going to be feeling warm. to start the new working week, there'll still be plenty of dry and fine weather around a build of high cloud, though, which means there'll be more in the way of hazy sunshine. a different story in the northwest, though, as we continue to see that cloud build and thick enough to produce some spots of rain at times, and still plenty of dry weather into next week. but we could see a thundery breakdown from wednesday onwards by, for now, a brighter outlook with boxt solar sponsors of weather on gb. >> news

>> well . >> well. >> well. >> 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. prince harry has taken self—pity to a new level in his latest tv interview. sorry, harry, you're famous. get over it. i'll be dealing with harry in just two minutes time. a big new development in the race for the tory leadership as ex home secretary priti patel throws her hat into the ring. i'll get reaction from a top tory insider in just a moment. in the big story, as donald trump's running mate describes, women without kids as childless cat ladies , do parents make cat ladies, do parents make better politicians ? and why are better politicians? and why are fewer women choosing to have babies in the first place? i'll be asking. britain's best known political double act, neil and christine hamilton , and i'm christine hamilton, and i'm looking forward to this in my take at ten, the olympic opening ceremony in paris was a profound inqu ceremony in paris was a profound insult to christians around the world, with a drag queen mocking

jesus christ and the
