parties for the last 20 or so years have been talking about, which is treating voters as consumers, what we see now, elon musk, the billionaire, he has deleted his company's facebook page, the first big—name to do that, lots of other companies have said, we are not sure about that, we are not comfortable, but he has gone and done it. a huge amount of advice floating around about how to protect data and stay on facebook. clearly, people like elon musk are reacting to the furore, there is a hashtag, he has been able to do this due to concerns, many companies have made thinly ultimatums, up your game, reassuring people that data will not go into particular hands, then they are pulling advertising. this is hurting facebook. absolutely, there

isa hurting facebook. absolutely, there is a great irony, he did this, elon musk did this after being goaded by twitter users! we have a circular nonsense of social media... it is hugely powerful, people take notice. we all have to take notice of what we do, whether we are shopping online, before we came on air, we we re online, before we came on air, we were talking, isn't it bizarre, in this time where we have this almost cold war, john le carre, salisbury poisoning going on, old—fashioned worst type of cold war battle between the west and russia, and yet we have this, which is sci—fi world, something going on which few people understand in the actual logistics of how it works. in the end, we are giving away that information, what we need to do is take responsibility for who has got it. there seems to
10:47 pm
bea for who has got it. there seems to be a generational difference about how bothered you are.|i be a generational difference about how bothered you are. i think it is that when people... what has been said is, the way the data has found its way into the hand of cambridge analytica, is the quizzes that people take, and then they realise... why would you do those things! it will tell me what is my favourite cat! it is a free service... all of this, despite the fun and the games you get from it, clearly, they are getting data, this is data harvesting, and it is like little campaigning, you will be going around and finding out about voters. crackdown on rip-off airline fees, hidden charges. an attempt to stop airlines charging you for ages, for ages. they have to be clear
10:48 pm
about credit card charges. two years ago, the cia ordered a review. that means that many airlines, not just the cheap ones, add on an extra £5 if you want a seat, and 50p if you wa nt if you want a seat, and 50p if you want to go to the toilet and another for getting an armrest, all this sort of thing. booking fees... now you have to pay if you want to reserve it. extra legroom. ialways hoped that i sit next to some be like him and then i have all of the legroom! but it is also things like changing your information if it is a spelling the state, something like that, or changing a passenger. some of this is required by other countries, because it is advanced passenger information, but the thing about this is, actually, ministers are to explain hidden charges. two years ago there was a review, then
10:49 pm
the watchdog said it was looking into administration, government said it wanted to ensure that has injured we re it wanted to ensure that has injured were not being ripped off. more submissions were asked for last year, now it is going to publish findings... then, guess what, a more detailed policy paper will follow! no crack downjust detailed policy paper will follow! no crack down just yet. are we daft to think these flights are this cheap? it is the headline price, £5 fee if you want to use a credit card to book... michael o'leary made this famous, the whole... taxes and fees, he can abuse you if you are being a bit ofan he can abuse you if you are being a bit of an idiot, and you want to go last—minute, then you have to pay if you want to have an extra seat, if you want to have an extra seat, if you want to have an extra seat, if you want change at the last minute, thatis you want change at the last minute, that is where the business model thrives, so the vocation, a lot of pressure behind that. they made £1.5 billion. so they are doing something

right. driving will be slower than riding a bicycle, when, why?l right. driving will be slower than riding a bicycle, when, why? a spate of stunning statistics, how in the capital, you end up suffering, 2a hours per year, stuck in traffic, not going anywhere if you are a london driver, and so the rac, and the interest of motorists in their heart, they are saying there is also some ways to improve things for motorist, re—sequence traffic lights, bus lanes, this is a co nsta nt lights, bus lanes, this is a constant debate but it is worth having. it is notjust london, it says manchester has the slowest beads outside of london, and i love the idea that driving will be slower than riding a bicycle, anyone who has sat in traffic will see cyclists going past much faster anyway. walking is faster! outside of
10:51 pm
london, there is a world outside of london, there is a world outside of london, amazingly, there is poor public transport, and houses are being built, and every house has two cars, roads cannot take that number of cars, there are too many cars, it is not good enough or frequent enough, public transport, and if you ta ke enough, public transport, and if you take away bus lanes, and sometimes in london the buses are back—to—back, you can walk across them rather than get on them. i think everyone should stay at home, check their facebook all the time... 0r... all, stay away from the quizzes, all, join elon musk, have your car floating around in space! the mail, and the sun. plastic bottles victory for the daily mail... they have one in 5p charge on plastic bags in the past, and now
10:52 pm
a bottle scheme... there is nothing new. you will not remember this, but we do! whatever happened to the limit bottles. i do find this astonishing, the daily mail has no shame! it is a 10—year campaign against plastic pollution. i seem to remember they were very disgruntled about the 5p plastic bag charge, and then decided they would back it... it is ok to think things through and change of mind... (!) i'm thinking of buying an old—fashioned soda siphon. because they are far more environmentally friendly. single use plastic... i have a comment, an independent working group has submitted this evidence, we will consider the deposit returned scheme, and we will announce a
10:53 pm
decision on the next steps in due course, so we are not there yet with this either. good to put it out there, encouraging people in the right direction, the whole public policy is shaped by this, blue planet two. sometimes it would be a goodidea planet two. sometimes it would be a good idea to say, this is ridiculous, we are killing the planet, let'sjust ridiculous, we are killing the planet, let's just stop ridiculous, we are killing the planet, let'sjust stop it. michael gove would like to phase out certain types of plastic and charge people for it. you can make your pocket money that way. popular that was, he bringing it back. that was for glass. there is also things like water fountains in parks and public places and children's playgrounds. remember that taste on a summers day. it is those things...|j remember that taste on a summers day. it is those things... i think there is a society for water
10:54 pm
fountains. drinking fountains, not water fountains. one minute to look at this. amazon... what is this? an absurd amount of packaging that someone found for their lamp, so much so, they were able to get into it, themselves... it was a microphone stand, two feet long, but she could get into the box. they should challenge people like amazon not to have packaging all over the place. think about when there was plastic to wrap individual slices of pineapple, which they had just cut, so companies do like to over package things, let's put it that way. take it off at the supermarket till and leave it behind. it is not nice to the cashier 's and they do not like it but it is not them you are attacking, it is the only way to say, i do not want this. at least
