festival is once again under by the joyless division , in line the joyless division, in line with what has become a tradition of the season in benighted . yet of the season in benighted. yet another bunch of interest fearing, patronising preachers of the witless cant of diverse city and inclusivity have decided it's their turn to take a p0p decided it's their turn to take a pop christmas. bristol based watch this space describing themselves as an inclusive asian consultancy. heaven help all have scored some free publicity by calling on organisations . by calling on organisations. rethink christmas on of how all those of other faiths feel left out in december. i really don't think those other faiths feel left out at all. i'm certain the vast majority of those of other faiths are perfectly fine with christians enjoying . christmas christians enjoying. christmas the same way i no issue whatever with diwali eat and the rest of the religious that genuinely matter those of faith and that is only those that could and deliberately would start a fight

in an empty that went to persuade everyone that christmas is exclusive and only bad news . is exclusive and only bad news. for generations every in britain has put on a play. the youngest amongst us are invited to play the parts of mary and joseph. the angel shepherds, the three wise men in every hall is recreated. a scene from a village in the middle east . the village in the middle east. the people being enacted by. children are people of the middle east . how inclusive and middle east. how inclusive and diverse might see it's christianity that the nouveau bullies target in the same way that all bullies have always done which is to say singled the one that would hit you back . the one that would hit you back. the tolerance of christianity christians has been a red rag to a bull, for and it has been open season on christmas on the utterly spewed this grounds that someone somewhere might be offended by cards coddles and santa claus. but it's only jesus worshipped two and a half billion christians as divine. the son of god . so take up the

the son of god. so take up the sungs the son of god. so take up the slings and arrows . do the son of god. so take up the slings and arrows. do your the son of god. so take up the slings and arrows . do your worst slings and arrows. do your worst . that latest call to cancel came hot on the heels of heresy spiteful , childish, mewling by spiteful, childish, mewling by a junior research fellow of trinity college . cambridge trinity college. cambridge university , about jesus having university, about jesus having and i quote a trans body the sticky palmed adolescent piffle was then backed up by the dean of the college, so more headunes of the college, so more headlines at the expense followers of the world's largest religion . all of this latest religion. all of this latest mischief making is just more of the same , which is to say the the same, which is to say the determination of the empowered elite system optically to remove every last foundation stone of western civilisation while simultaneously showing us reminding us who they think is, boss. having excited themselves by stripping away under the egregious wrong lockdown. so much of what it has meant to be human and alive in this part of the world, usual suspects are determined to . keep going until determined to. keep going until the job is done . christianity

the job is done. christianity and.the the job is done. christianity and. the family are still standing . so the attacks must standing. so the attacks must continue . lockdown was about continue. lockdown was about draining the joy out of life. every last bit. it was about keeping apart and alone. it was a relentless campaign of fear , a relentless campaign of fear, authority figures who felt no fear of themselves because they knew there was nothing to fear. and broke all their own rules . and broke all their own rules. now it's about bidding farewell to very stuff of life, warmth and winter nourishing food . stop and winter nourishing food. stop driving to save the world stop flying to save the. how long before they come ? the twinkly before they come? the twinkly lights and crackles as . well. lights and crackles as. well. the powers that be are about nothing less . making life dull nothing less. making life dull and flat out for we proles. nothing less. making life dull and flat out for we proles . the and flat out for we proles. the truth is that none of this to be taken lightly. far less ignore the relentless erosion of christmas and christianity itself essential for those whose mission it to unmake. britain and the west . it is nothing less and the west. it is nothing less than a deliberate snuffing out of the light of the world that anyone would ever seek to

silence those who want to celebrate . it's beyond sinister celebrate. it's beyond sinister in my eyes, because the story at the heart of christmas is also the heart of christmas is also the story, at the heart of humanity and the best of human nature . it's a simple story nature. it's a simple story about family. indeed, the making about family. indeed, the making a family by the birth of a baby . it's about a baby born the most humble of circumstances , a most humble of circumstances, a barn for animals dependent upon the kindness of strangers . why the kindness of strangers. why would anyone good and honest, want to take issue with the simplicity of the family and all that the family has meant and continues to mean, except of course, that the family is the ultimate obstacle for those intent on reset the world away from the and in favour of the machine . again and again, those machine. again and again, those who have it in mind to establish centralised top down control of populations , have targeted the populations, have targeted the family as the final stumbling block in the path . always, block in the path. always, however, the family prevailed because the desire for family life is innately human. the way

things have been in the west for 2000 years is a direct and undeniable consequence of the overarching influence of christian honesty. our ethics, our morality, the laws by which we live. commitment to the sanctity the individual. all are founded upon the christianity of our forebears . in more recent our forebears. in more recent centuries and dangerous people believed , they had the wit and believed, they had the wit and the power to set aside christian ethics and morality and to replace them with their own ideals wages. i invite you to the worst horrors of the 20th century and notice . well, those century and notice. well, those experiments went 150 million dead and counting . what is being dead and counting. what is being inflicted on now is the death of a thousand cuts. one thing after another, reminding us of who and what we are. where came from and why is being devalued, rewritten or released by others. think we know better? our heritage our history. our culture. our our communities . our identities as communities. our identities as men and women , sovereign men and women, sovereign

individuals, all it being undone, taken . memory hold. this undone, taken. memory hold. this is deliberate and must be resisted at all costs. friedrich nietzsche was among the most to lament the death of in the west. god is dead and we have killed him. he who will wipe this blood off us? what water is there us to clean ourselves ? must we to clean ourselves? must we ourselves not become simply to appear worthy of it? and there's the rub prophesied by a philosopher. 140 the rub prophesied by a philosopher . 140 years ago, the philosopher. 140 years ago, the coming of those ideologues of today who talk , hacking humans, today who talk, hacking humans, growing babies , the body of the growing babies, the body of the women , of mixing humans with women, of mixing humans with technology who really do believe the time has come for them to assume the power gods. of all of the anti human behaviour the tattling upon children . the tattling upon children. the exploitation of those vulnerable and deserving of our protection. i don't mean to imply behaviour. is anything new. rather it is simply more blatant and. we catch glimpses of the danger.

most recently in ad campaign by fashion house balancer that set tiny children in sexual contexts and dismiss such threats at our ultimate panel. from drag queen story time to questionable education in classrooms , the education in classrooms, the normalisation of the sexualised of children is well under way for those in search of a to die on mate, not the defence of the innocence of children, be the one the christmas story is fundamentally about hope for human beings. there can be no greater gift or reason for than the birth of a child . there can the birth of a child. there can be no greater imperative the urge to protect that child. all children against all threats. dufing children against all threats. during lockdown rules were put in place to keep families apart , to separate children from , , to separate children from, grandparents. they're still pushing their jobs on children . pushing their jobs on children. attempts were even made at that time to cancel christmas. not that me and mine paid them a blind of notice. faith leaders not worthy of the name complied with dictates that closed

churches and sue denied needful people access to the comfort and sustenance of holy when they were most wanted . i keep were most wanted. i keep mentioning the thousands of people who've written to me dunng people who've written to me during the past two getting on for three years in the run to last christmas. the emotion of it all was almost overwhelming family and i received piles of christmas cards from families across britain , around the across britain, around the world. messages love, solidarity and determined nation from people who might otherwise been strangers to us. but needed to share christmas and so shared it with us. the joy of the christmas message in what might otherwise have been an unremarked , dark time . over and unremarked, dark time. over and oven unremarked, dark time. over and over, we were reassured by all those the majority of , the those the majority of, the centres, in fact, who, like us , centres, in fact, who, like us, had identified a fight between good and evil between light and dark . we were left in no doubt, dark. we were left in no doubt, letter after letter and card card that the medicine that kept those people well and every way that really mattered was the faith in something bigger than themselves, something trump

said. and the message of christianity . so simple, it can christianity. so simple, it can be summed up in single line for god , so loved the world that he god, so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son so that whosoever believeth him should not perish, but have ever life as ever been a more hopeful message . believe or don't message. believe or don't believe . but the christmas story believe. but the christmas story is undeniably a message of hope and family and love . and about and family and love. and about the arrival in the darkness , a the arrival in the darkness, a bright and warming light. it is worth remembering that . the worth remembering that. the light is always there, even if it is out of sight. i think about the words that, according to legend at least, were scratched into the wall of a basement by someone hiding tyranny during world war ii. i believe in the sun, even when it is not shining , i believe in is not shining, i believe in love. even when i do not feel it. i believe god, even when he is silent in the northern latitudes , have sought light in latitudes, have sought light in the darkness of winter since a time beyond the reach, memory, millennia before . the coming of millennia before. the coming of christianity, the fires kindled and lamps kept lit in defiance

of the dark and cool and always the promise held in human hearts that with patients and fortitude they would see return of the sun. year the dark and the cold are being deliberately intensified by the state objectives of our so—called leaders . we are told we must leaders. we are told we must have less light, less warmth. we are told these are among the prices. we must pay to win a war, to save the planet. now is the time kindle lights and keep them . nearly 40 years before the them. nearly 40 years before the birth of christ, them. nearly 40 years before the birth of christ , the pagan roman birth of christ, the pagan roman poet virgil wrote lines about the birth of a boy, a saviour who would grow up to be divine and the world. virgil has been seen by some as a prophet . the seen by some as a prophet. the birth of jesus. he was sensing the rising . the sun from beyond the rising. the sun from beyond the rising. the sun from beyond the horizon virgil's poem written around 38 bc. is a message of hope of the inevitable and imminent coming of light into a darkened world. here's the thing we need christmas and hope enjoy of

christmas and hope enjoy of christmas . more now than ever , christmas. more now than ever, light whatever lights you can . light whatever lights you can. even the glow of a single can be seen for. miles. all of that is my opinion of. seen for. miles. all of that is my opinion of . course. and my opinion of. course. and you're free to disagree . keep you're free to disagree. keep your tweets and emails coming all through the show. you can email gb news. gbnews.uk and you can tweet me as well at gb news and i'll try to get some of your comments later in the show. after the break , i'll introduce after the break, i'll introduce my panel and get the thoughts . my panel and get the thoughts. what i've just said about christmas and 2020 to see it in a .

couple of. welcome back to neil oliver live with me in the studio until 8:00

are the filmmaker katie and the political commentator dominique samuels. welcome to you both. hi dominique. i've been keen to have as a as a panellist on here for quite. well, so finally we've made up some. grateful to be on thank you for a regular breakfast. it's great to be here. great to be back . i'll here. great to be back. i'll start with you, kerry. what do you think need the people of this country need in the run up to christmas nights of to christmas as the nights of getting and dark and cold? i think you said a lot of it actually in your monologue, although i think we do suffer from profound moral malaise in the west and i don't know that it's attack on religion so much an attack on what christianity has given which is a fantastic universal a belief in our common humanity. you know what we have in common and can do together. you know who who couldn't be for, you know, goodwill to all men and peace on earth and is or maybe the world. yeah exactly.

in australia they're on the beach. in santa west's red trunks, apparently . and in trunks, apparently. and in japan, even though they're predominantly buddhist. well, the shinto religion is much bigger than christianity . they bigger than christianity. they all sing the red—nosed reindeer . and i mean, i'm atheist, but i love christmas . and that message love christmas. and that message of christmas is, you know , of christmas is, you know, celebrate , drink, be merry . celebrate, drink, be merry. ignore the lingering mean anti christmas machine . and let's christmas machine. and let's have a great time. i feel we're being set against one another and.by being set against one another and. by that i mean the strikes are happening . you know, people are happening. you know, people have all sorts of about the inconvenience and whatever that's posed by it. but we're encouraged to fight each other rather than the real source of the problem which them often. but divided on race lines as as i don't ever remember in my in my lifetime and. it's as though

there's a concerted attempt to set us at one another throats because it keeps us away from the trouble. oh, i completely . the trouble. oh, i completely. and just with regard to christmas, i do think there has been a concerted attack on christmas, i think for several years . one with the lockdowns years. one with the lockdowns and know was debating in the past i mean i was on good morning britain debating whether or not people should still be allowed to see each other at christmas and for at the time christmas and for me at the time that felt like such a morbid and weird thing to even be debating to be debating the idea of people , of families seeing each people, of families seeing each other at such a special time of the year. i believe that was even a question. but the genuinely were people who felt as though christmas should be cancelled because this pervading fear that was imposed upon the rest of the population and now with i would say , the emotional

with i would say, the emotional manipulative control tactics claiming the other minority these might be offended by the fact that christmas is so universal that celebrated in a christian like you said the fact of the matter is most people who are of different faiths love christmas they celebrate it with . so why then are you trying to plant the seeds of division then again with the claims that jesus would have been its inserting a toxic debate into something that is supposed be beyond all of that and. why did you do that. you put , you know, that and. why did you do that. you put, you know, you bang the camera on head it's to divide andifs camera on head it's to divide and it's to take us away from the true meaning of christmas which is togetherness and spirituality . love. do you think spirituality. love. do you think so? feel as you say. you're an atheist but but christmas still is about family. i mean it's absolutely stories about anything . it's about a family anything. it's about a family getting through a difficult time and being dependent upon kindness of strangers. yeah no, i completely agree. and i think

. christmas has come to mean than religion anyway. you know chris christmas comes the launch of, you know , paganism all sorts of, you know, paganism all sorts of, you know, paganism all sorts of other celebrations as well on secularism. so it's quite i mean, it's applicable to everybody. so i think you're absolutely but i think that point about the humanistic spirit , you know, what we have spirit, you know, what we have in common is very powerful, but it's to the diversity business. you know, the identitarians people who want to worship difference , who can't difference, who can't countenance all the great things we have in common, that great human spirit, which is what we all get a out of with family, friends , strangers at christmas. friends, strangers at christmas. but one thing on what you said to maybe what dominic was saying in general, i don't think we are at each other's throats . no, i at each other's throats. no, i think we're being set. at each other's throats. no, i think we're being set . well, think we're being set. well, they might try, but i that's where i think they're going to fail . they're absolutely going fail. they're absolutely going to fail. we've seen it already?

yes might be. there'll be those say you don't use the c word christmas you have to say xmas or winter evil. they'll be those who say you know forgive us our sins what we've done to the don't forgive our sins for what we've done to the planet . look we've done to the planet. look at all the packaging and waste food at christmas. don't turn the lights on. you know the eco miserable pests we're to get more of that . but in that sense more of that. but in that sense i don't mind division because division is a healthy argument and i think people coming out with coming out with that stuff all wrong and so i don't mind if we butt up against those who try and cancel christmas . i think and cancel christmas. i think those who do try and would rather kiss christmas was cancelled will lose. i love love for me summer is you know the warm sunshine but i feel a hope around the lighting of fires and the keeping of lights in the

darkness at christmas time. i find that be the most profoundly hopeful gesture. and it's a human thing that's been going on for hundreds , thousands of for hundreds, thousands of years. fire against the cold light , years. fire against the cold light, against the dark, and that we still enact a romantic , that we still enact a romantic, you know. well, i know. i agree with you. it is wonderful. christmas it is. absolutely. it is things. and i say even though we can't afford the bells i'm going to do this christmas . we can't afford the bells i'm going to do this christmas. i'm going to do this christmas. i'm going to do this christmas. i'm going to put the heating back on, you know, for that week. and so a lot of people think donate we should just the heating on and then when the bills come in we all just have we should all just have a ceremonial i. i that idea . ceremonial i. i like that idea. oh no i do like it. and you know, to see you know, if it happens to see you in think cells i think in prison i think cells i think the best way to be defiant isn't so i've put too much energy into know to two news reports an articles but to just do whatever the hell want light your christmas lights put your heating on ignore noise because

the more energy you put into what they're trying to project, i think there's more of a chance of them actually successful i would say just bloody ignore them because that's what doing i strongly that people will do christmas this year and it's not abouti christmas this year and it's not about i know what people are short of money and have difficulties they haven't had before but it will i think will remind people about what christmas actually can be and is which is togetherness that you know we can afford and we can all share . you know, sharing is all share. you know, sharing is all share. you know, sharing is a profoundly human as well. i think we've we've always done that actually . i don't think that actually. i don't think it's a particularly thing. i think the sort of charity from on high, you know is meaningless compared what most people have done with friends family neighbours local community is for hundreds of years actually you know look after each other and that's why lockdown was so wrong because in we had the experience a local level of what

would best for our friends and family we would know better than some you know don't hug only six in a room you know all of rubbish that we had during and i hope there is this christmas is part of after you know almost two years ago what really but since christmas was cancelled we had a bit of a push back last year and i hope this winter we do have even more of a push back you know let's make it a hell of a feast and. fun and family and, all things great and it doesn't have to be a bit by lots plastic and it doesn't have to be about i don't care if it is a bit waste even if even if you can't even people that don't have the money it , you know, the money to do it, you know, the celebration of family togetherness and the sitting by a fire also. i think that because of all of the debates about public displays of lights, because of the cost of living crisis, it also the debates existed during lockdown, i think it might remind does that in

order to celebrate and enjoy we have in recent years actually placed a lot of reliance on the state to provide those big christmas displays when really it's actually about us a smaller community providing that christmas spirit. so that may indeed be a positive may remind us that it's us that make christmas . it's not a local christmas. it's not a local council government go to get to good stuff. still to come this out i'll discuss controversial advertising campaign from balenciaga that sexualised children and i mean alan miller we set up that together campaign in response to the covid measures and those big plans for the future. see .

and to welcome to neil oliver live. now many of us are watching channels on the audacity of those who imposed the lockdowns . no imposed the lockdowns. no telling us those measures actually more people than they

helped who knew. those of us who warned as much months, if not years ago, have no to endure the likes of chris and patrick vallance. government cheerleaders for the months of isolate no warning of spiking death on account of millions locked down and away from treatment for cancer heart disease and other illnesses . all disease and other illnesses. all of this and more besides is proof. if any proof were needed , that it's surely up to us, the people , this country, to come people, this country, to come together for each other, find better to reclaim our lives better ways to reclaim our lives and our country. my next better ways to reclaim our lives and our country . my next guest and our country. my next guest is alan miller , the together is alan miller, the together campaign, who is fired up about the need take back democracy . the need take back democracy. welcome thanks for having me, neal welcome thanks for having me, neal. do we get ourselves out of this mess ? that is of others this mess? that is of others making. i think it's really important the viewers will know this to say that the thing that keeps people honest in politics is public. it's always been the that ordinary people live in in the modern period of shape. the

world and that any important changes have come them. and we've had a series of decades now where there's this technocratic impulse , this when technocratic impulse, this when in doubt, regulate as a separate schism between those elected the public. and we saw that coalesce on steroids during the imposition lockdowns this whole idea that we're vectors we're terrible when lots people originally if we remind ourselves wanted to volunteer. that was snuffed out we were told to go and sit in the corner hands on heads. we now see even more technocratic impulses . more technocratic impulses. whether it's the imf or whether it's our own leaders that are saying these are the measures that are going to have to happen to you. now haven't got big to you. now we haven't got big solutions. i we solutions. i think we need a massive national debate . massive national debate. ordinary people at the heart ordinary people are at the heart of public. the of it with the public. it's the heart it. and that's it's heart of it. and that's why it's together. has got together. association has got local, regional and national groups of people coming . we've groups of people coming. we've got all the 300,000 signatories and we are launching a shadow cabinet . we are going to be

cabinet. we are going to be launching a shadow cabinet that says as a range of people in different areas that it's going to be critical in the different areas are going on. but with a view that actually the public has always got very good instincts . we need to be at the instincts. we need to be at the heart of things . it's what's heart of things. it's what's happening the nhs whether happening with the nhs whether it's do with wealth creation it's to do with wealth creation for. productivity whether it's to do with the kind of regulations in society the fact that we don't want compulsory it . the fact that we should be able to speak. . the fact that we should be able to speak . you know, we've able to speak. you know, we've just online bow after just seen the online bow after three years of having people taken and censored. and elon musk now coming out to stop that a bit. but we shouldn't on one person to ever to have free speech and to say that we're not these mad of control people actually . we're the neighbours actually. we're the neighbours friends colleagues our family that may so brilliant and actually the public that really needs to be at the heart of matters and we need to show this head of crisis and that that's the government largely and the so—called actually want more

so—called who actually want more longer harder restrictions . and longer harder restrictions. and so we'd invite everyone that's watching if want to be involved locally, regionally and, nationally to get involved with together social action together declaration to org . we want declaration to org. we want people around the country . we people around the country. we want people to actually be vocal like we've been doing our campaigns. we've been getting people to lobby their mps to supposed to go out and leaflet and talk to citizens , talk to and talk to citizens, talk to their colleagues. we have shown when people think it's you know, sometimes people can be like everything is out of control. there's nothing we could do. we demonstrated with many different people but with together that actually the vaccine passports and specifically vaccine mandates we could stop it when we work together. i don't think enough people realise that that happened , you because it happened, you know, because it happened, you know, because it happened , i think too happened, i think too many people it was , i don't people thought it was, i don't know, organically know, just happened organically and naturally. right where there was mandates and vaccine came in, in other parts of europe in the world, it didn't happen .

the world, it didn't happen. sorry. and that was because of people being people splitting up. it was to do with brave frontline workers, nhs staff , frontline workers, nhs staff, others. that said, we've been here working a year. why is it that we're having this imposed on us? they put themselves on the it was to do with lots the line. it was to do with lots of different campaigns and organisations like nhs organisations people like nhs 100 together work with lots of 100 k together work with lots of different people. it was to do with ordinary people saying actually some coming out on protest the demonstrations and bringing that to their local employees, to council and employees, to their council and also the government and also to the government and fighting back. and you're absolutely right now, we were told friends canada told by our friends in canada and australia never stop the mandate. we mandate. right but actually we need to take a win when it's there and say this is what we're capable right and we are we capable of. right and we are we are agents . we are potentially are agents. we are potentially curators of the future. you know , we the best of british and we got to believe in ourselves and, you know, without sounding corny we want to be the change , the we want to be the change, the future. we want to see the

change it's going be up to us, right? we can either be on the sidelines which is where many technocrats want us nudging fear , the next , telling us it's the next catastrophe or us rush really arguing and imposing ourselves on the world in the way we want to say it. terry, how do you feel? i'm watching of you noting i'm pleasantly along. well, i a lot of agency, you know . yeah. lot of agency, you know. yeah. no, i think a lot of agencies at the heart of things but i, i have to put a button here. i like a lot of what alan says. so i think the together has been great and i'm very in terms of overturning things like the vaccine passports my only worries as follows young people iteach worries as follows young people i teach film to say to me you know i want my voice and i always say to them , what do you always say to them, what do you want to say now i just want to be i know alan think like this anyway but i think we should be careful to not obsess on the process of how you're involved, what involved in is it a shadow

7 what involved in is it a shadow ? what is it? and to think about and clarify and yes in some as i was saying earlier, that might mean more division because it's rules. what do you want to say because you can have a wonderful pubuc because you can have a wonderful public platform , petitions and public platform, petitions and everything else and is simply echoing the mainstream but we do need to coalesce though don't i mean i think what i was saying is that we need to come together so as well as people in debate about how this you about what how to fix this you know and a shadow cabinet the point but that's not just talk a thatis point but that's not just talk a that is a practical taking of agency and seeing know we are an alternative. i think i think also it is important what kerry is saying and i think it's important that's we hold public events around the country. it's why we constantly streams where we have debates and discussions like on the human rights for instance many people around us that were anti—lockdown and said we must save this but actually where were was it in the last

two and a half years, the human rights and were the rights act? and where were the human lawyers we human rights lawyers? but we thrashed how some thrashed out debates. how some people were saying there a people were saying there was a fear the reset. fear discussing the great reset. so got a big event on naturally with lots of different people talking about that. is it inevitable? what it mean? where are the questions of are the big questions of technocracy? it really davos technocracy? is it really davos or is it closer to home? and, you know, we got let's be honest , of the things the politicians should they want, , of the things the politicians shwed they want, , of the things the politicians shwe don't they want, , of the things the politicians shwe don't have they want, , of the things the politicians shwe don't have all they want, , of the things the politicians shwe don't have all the' want, is we don't have all the answers. right. but answers. honest. right. but through the process of engaging in things, you get clarification . i would say, though, we've got some pillars our are some pillars and our pillars are very boring and ordinary, actually. but really radical today, which should be exciting today, which should be exciting to people because they're based on who think we'd be having conversation at democracy rights, freedom of speech freedom of congregation, privacy a distinction between the public sphere and the private sphere that we're not all mad and dangerous, that you know, that we are democracy and rights. and so the point about young people

some young people have been brought to think that it's you should free speech is problematic because i want to upset people and offend them that we just say free speech, free. to the point we free. this is to the point we have to engage and win hearts and minds and explain why being upset. and minds and explain why being upset . offended is sometimes upset. offended is sometimes really furious, is actually an import something and something must happen in a free society because the alternative is none of us ever get to speak about anything which is where some of the direction is going at the moment. and we've seen much of that. moment. and we've seen much of that . so i'm moment. and we've seen much of that. so i'm in agreement with carrie actually think we do need to thrash these things out we together have a few key pillars that are around the ways that we organise and putting the public at the of it . take back at the heart of it. take back democracy the thing. but the democracy is the thing. but the pillars of freedom , rights, pillars of freedom, rights, privacy, choice , autonomy. privacy, choice, autonomy. dominic how do you respond? how do you feel that? because i wonder if as honest as the younger generations, i don't know under 40 under that whatever our lesson claim maybe

to speak for fear of offending you know a lot of the brainwashing or indoctrination taken root and it has meant that i think younger people perhaps would have an instinct to look to the state or look to others for that for the instructions , for that for the instructions, the right way to behave and the right way to speak. yeah, i think that the real issue. think that is the real issue. it's how how we're actually to be able to counter that because . it's coming in all directions it's coming in. the films that we consume and the advertisements that we consume, even food we consume, it's in our education system, our universities, our schools, even our primary at this point, the conditioning, the brainwashing to create the idea that having free speech is bad . you might free speech is bad. you might offend someone despite the fact that that's the very essence of free speech in order to speak freely , there will always be the freely, there will always be the possibility that offend someone. but regards to what all but just in regards to what all of us do and i've no criticisms whatsoever, it's okay to. sit from the sidelines pointing saying what you're doing isn't

good enough. but the fact that actually have the bravery and the initiative to actually and do something that's amazing because it's things like that you it may not seem major in the know in the small scheme of things but in the grand of things but in the grand of things they make it a massive. it's also it's the hear the fight in your voice when people send extinguished you know two three relentless three years of relentless example organising to get to something that you're about what about the 40,000 care home workers . yeah you know you've workers. yeah you know you've been very proactive about that. yes. so over 40,000 care workers, as you say they were actually we've lost them because unlike stopping the mandate the nhs that we were informed then we didn't get there fast enough and they were lost. we've got 165,000 gap in staff , we've got 165,000 gap in staff, we've got over 13,000 beds being blocked, not releasing people the every one is talking about the care

quality report about how significant care is in the context of the nhs , but almost context of the nhs, but almost nobody is talking about the vaccine mandate , the vaccine mandate, the consequences of that. so our campaign , a very simple apology campaign, a very simple apology is compensate and reinstate care workers. we've now got over 80,000 signatures on it. we talking to various campaigns , talking to various campaigns, lords and others as well, like we did with the petitions for the vaccine, passports and mandates. and we're going to continue case. we've continue to this case. we've lost people that have got decades of experience who, again, were on the and i just must say that in the last couple of days the news with i find it difficult find his name now but with matt hancock blaming the staff some care on care staff and some care on care homes for the that we've seen it just goes to show how contentious is this like blame play contentious is this like blame play mode me people blame workers blame the staff no one takes responsibility and it's just not good enough. how can be

arguing against the reinstatement and the compensation of those mean surely the facts of no dictated that what they did was completely right that stance was only ever a human stance to which they were entitled . well, which they were entitled. well, you know, the question so there's always a question of choice and whoever was right or wrong was about their own personal choices was certainly wrong , was to try and force wrong, was to try and force someone do something against their will. if now we see as well. but this isn't the point. we now see that it does not stop transmission. but that's not the point, because it did the principle of choice still there. and what would was this was year down the line right ? you know, down the line right? you know, this was some time down the road . this had all happened to people. so the key question is , people. so the key question is, you know, about the reinstatement, compensation . reinstatement, compensation. people will say various things . people will say various things. they'll make objections . but the they'll make objections. but the point this our goal is to get out wider and to more of the pubuc out wider and to more of the public to have these

conversation with them like we want to about lockdowns . it's want to about lockdowns. it's astonishing that we're talking about the cost of living costs of lockdown crisis which has other things that have led up to it well. we've had sluggish it as well. we've had sluggish economy for three decades. if we're but the three we're honest, but the three years has meant that now it's all come to a head and impact of that. a lot of people not associating that. people are getting let off the hook. and i think we really to be able to win over other people in the public, that's one of our key things. and also have them involved in saying what they want to see happen right at the moment, all the conversations have on the say , yeah, have on the market say, yeah, bank of england's. have on the market say, yeah, bank of england's . i mean, like, bank of england's. i mean, like, well, actually what people who are the markets right, it's us, it's our friends , neighbours, it's our friends, neighbours, loved ones. it's like , what do loved ones. it's like, what do we want to see happen in britain? and one thing i'll say about this is that when shine a light here and we do things here, look how quickly they elsewhere. a moment for elsewhere. this is a moment for us. all right ? without trying to

us. all right? without trying to sound too grandiose . if not now, sound too grandiose. if not now, when? right we have a situation where, we've allowed people that are technically erratic and really quite contentious unbelievably , if you think about unbelievably, if you think about what happened with brexit , where what happened with brexit, where you had this whole you know, a lot of people came out and got engagedin lot of people came out and got engaged in the public and everything, but you leave it in their hands of this stuff and they've demonstrated they do, and now they're coming out with mealy half apologies and mealy mouthed half apologies and mealy mouthed half apologies and mea culpas things that have mea culpas for things that have happened. it's unacceptable. and no one wants to live in the past. but it's important. remember what has happened and to not get for la. and to say what do we want moving forwards. what education to what do we want our education to look do we want to look like? what do we want to look like? what do we want to look do we want the look like? how do we want the workplace to be? know, we're workplace to be? you know, we're going amongst each going to fight amongst each other. , us. it's you other. you tell, us. it's you know, the blame know, they're the ones to blame because. they to fight because. they decided to fight for their livelihoods. so i think a of think we've all got a lot of common interests here. right. we don't want divide over don't want to divide it over what people say, what people look like, that kind of thing.

we've interests and we've got common interests and they're us citizens we've got common interests and theywhat us citizens we've got common interests and theywhat our us citizens we've got common interests and theywhat our needs us citizens we've got common interests and theywhat our needs , us citizens we've got common interests and theywhat our needs , common|s and what our needs, common interests are. and it's brilliant inspiration. i want to give little present as give you a little present as this battle of the three this is the battle of the three three epic battles that save democracy. just to say that was thousand 500 years ago. we stand on the shoulders of many over the few hundred years the last few hundred years a thank for your contribution thank you for your contribution really i'm just going to have to move it to the though sadly after i'll discuss the after which i'll discuss the controversial ad campaign that led brand led to a major brand being accused sexualising children accused of sexualising children back.

in two. welcome to neil oliver live fashion house balenciaga backed into an apology last week after the latest ad campaign featuring holding teddy bears dressed in bondage gear. sooner had the bears in the hands of minors gone viral. but a second campaign in collaboration , campaign in collaboration, adidas, featuring a placed on

top of legal papers with child . top of legal papers with child. after days of silence brand ambassador and style arbiter for millions, kim kardashian finally , she was re—evaluating her relationship with balenciaga . relationship with balenciaga. joining me now to the repercussions of all this ugliness is nicki holmes of child protection safer together. good evening . nicki thank you good evening. nicki thank you for having me on. thank you for making the time. for having me on. thank you for making the time . nicki, is this making the time. nicki, is this a glimpse , would you say, of a a glimpse, would you say, of a broader trend society towards normalising the sexualisation of children ? it absolutely is . and children? it absolutely is. and i think a really important thing to consider is that we're not just about balenciaga. we're talking about a whole range of organisations that use children , sexualisation of children in their advertising and it poses significant harms to children seen over recent days, people

being really confused about what underpins the backlash regarding the potential campaign because as far as at least i'm aware , no as far as at least i'm aware, no direct harm was caused to the child models we used as part of the campaign. but again, i think that's a really narrow view , that's a really narrow view, really short sighted view, and that we need to be aware of the wider society the harms caused by campaigns as this. wider society the harms caused by campaigns as this . what by campaigns as this. what possesses i ask what possesses a world brand or any brand act in this way ? i think it's difficult this way? i think it's difficult to say. i mean, i the great thing is that the notion sex sells but we're not just talking about the sexualisation of children . i think what's children. i think what's particularly shocking about this campaign is actually it's very overt , the linking of childhood overt, the linking of childhood and themes related to child sexual abuse . and so think the sexual abuse. and so think the fact that this campaign has been fronted by some has being edgy

being a dark symbolism . it gets being a dark symbolism. it gets people talking and unfortunately you that that's that's why i think many organisations and brands do sexualise children but i think there's also an element of the normalisation of the sexualised of children we're almost desensitise to it because it is so prevalent , so pervasive it is so prevalent, so pervasive . katy, what do you think? i mean i'm just here in the minds . we were invited to imagine begin with. it was a kind of a mystique. yeah most canadians on pored over these these days but they spend picking what image or photograph and you know they're in on what they were going to do andifs in on what they were going to do and it's this phenomena and unfortunate now i do think your guest is right. it is widespread not just within advertising. you know, we've seen the drag queen story, storytelling , you know, story, storytelling, you know, and all sorts of things which what on earth are these people thinking that this is ? you know, thinking that this is? you know, we have the ludicrous dbz so

that you everybody you know a lorry driver who helps a kid up or i hugged a kid in a supermarket was crying questions horror horror and you you know, you see a little kid and you leave them because you think people will get it wrong. yeah. these people get away with doing this perverse horror show and think that's okay for their branding and marketing. i thought , that's just disgusting. thought, that's just disgusting. kim i mean, you know to name one of the names that she took these, you know there ought to should not instant instantaneous get me as far away from that from the organisation for that corporation as you can possibly get me rather than appealing to wait for a few days to see way the wind was blowing the. reason why sadly is because this sort of thing is more or less accepted in hollywood and that's why many celebrities of work with the brand haven't spoken out because they prioritise you

know , their income, their know, their income, their connections . then they do connections. then they do prioritise of children. and i think balenciaga is response to this has been really laughable they've to deny culpability with specific regard to the bug with reference to the child case they've now dropped the $25 million lawsuit against production company group six which says to me that we need to know i even have a quote here from domna in 2016, he someone wrote the lotto and who was balenciaga's main stylist in 2018, gotha we grew up on child and radiation from chernobyl . and radiation from chernobyl. that's why we're so effed up . so that's why we're so effed up. so this sort of dates back to 2016, and even then no one thought to actually question what i had actually question what i had actually said. and for those that don't know domna is the creative director of balenciaga . niki, i'm also aware, obviously of this. this acronym, so mep minor attracted persons.

so you know beyond the realms of fashion advertising, it's a movement out there to suggest that being attracted sexually attracted to children is just part of the spectrum . yeah, part of the spectrum. yeah, absolutely and i think that's a really harmful narrative that we just cannot afford to buy into . just cannot afford to buy into. and i think that the reason why we are so concerned about the sexualised nation and the commercialisation of children in campaigns such as is that i think , you know, effectively think, you know, effectively makes it much easier for those that seek to abuse and exploit children to abuse and exploit because what we see with campaigns sexualised children is that they objectify children, it means that we don't see the innocence childhood, but actually we see objects and those that, as i say, do seek , those that, as i say, do seek, exploit and abuse. i think it makes the whole process of and exploitation much easier. what should we be doing as a as a as a society as as ordinary parents

of kids? what do we do when we feel that we're swimming in this kind of cesspit it's very difficult. and there is the baby report, the bayley review from 2011 which kind of highlighted how many parents and carers feel really out of control because of this constant bombardment of advertising and then which objectifies and sexualise these children and that they feel pushed into a corner in the sense that they have to talk about really topics in a time when they're not maybe ready to or maybe the child is not. but by to navigate these themes and topics as well but i think that on the flip side of that that actually talking about this campaign being really of them means that we are of them and aware of their harms . so aware of their harms. so actually, i think the positive all the campaign like this is that it prompts conversation . that it prompts conversation. and actually i'm going to just going to have to cut you there for for just going to have to cut you there for forjust shortage going to have to cut you there for for just shortage of time. thank you so much for this. thanks for casting a light on

what is a very dark subject. time a break, but there's time for a break, but there's lots after 7:00. lots more on the way after 7:00. see you shortly .

back of their own health . well, back of their own health. well, neali back of their own health. well, neal, i don't think it's any secret that the stage of public health really at an all time low . we've had an increase and we .we've had an increase and we have an increase added rates of chronic illness and disease. i call disease cancers diabetes , call disease cancers diabetes, autoimmune diseases and not to mention anxiety and depression and seven deaths. we have many, but a huge proportion of population taking drugs. of including young people . and including young people. and really i'm levels and not to mention you know on top of all of this we have an mhra that hasn't done its biannual safety audh hasn't done its biannual safety audit so there's no time like now to take control and responsibility for our health in practical terms . you know, given practical terms. you know, given that people traditionally would go to the would go out and seek

health advice . with the for in health advice. with the for in practical , would health advice. with the for in practical, would you recommend that people actually . when you that people actually. when you talk about taking control themselves . well we have to stop themselves. well we have to stop outsourcing our health making to others for sources and learning about what being healthy means remembering what being healthy means . health doesn't come in means. health doesn't come in a pill . it's a means. health doesn't come in a pill. it's a daily means. health doesn't come in a pill . it's a daily practise and pill. it's a daily practise and we need to take heed of everything we put into our bodies. the food we eat, what we trade and what we think and act and everything else around us . and everything else around us. is this good for me? and of course, diet is the very first thing since the absolute foundations. thing since the absolute foundations . what are we eating foundations. what are we eating 7 foundations. what are we eating ? are we eating enough fruit and vegetables ? organic, ideally. vegetables? organic, ideally. and i know organic. more expensive, but it far healthier for us . we'd like to see people for us. we'd like to see people eating less sugar and call carbohydrates, sweet foods and coffee . you know, we drink

coffee. you know, we drink enormous amounts coffee and that's a stimulant. and it causes anxiety and can actually make us feel unwell during the day in excess. and we need to spend more time in nature and get good sleep and have to have quality time and time alone with ourselves, with the baggage and without screens , you know, without screens, you know, reading a book or being in nature, going a walk and we need to wean ourselves all addictions like sugar , alcohol and excess like sugar, alcohol and excess and empty cell phones and exit packs constantly sort of in a loop . and i think most important loop. and i think most important , we need to start giving . our , we need to start giving. our lives are hugely enriched when they have meaning , purpose and they have meaning, purpose and we recommend people that they go and find their purpose explore. they find ways of helping in the communities and there's so many wonderful community initiatives

in the uk that have started up in the uk that have started up in this kind period and go and find something in your neighbourhood and find a way in which you can contribute a bit with me as well a tonic to my panel as well. dominic, i felt you nodding yes. and there what was particularly on your wavelength there? well, what was saying really resonated with me because . i can't say too much because. i can't say too much about it, but i've just come back from a treat and it was a very spiritual retreat . one of very spiritual retreat. one of the main things that they said was we should really pay attention to how we treat ourselves . that being what we ourselves. that being what we put inside our bodies, how we think about ourselves and how we think about ourselves and how we think about ourselves and how we think about the environment around us and one thing that's really interesting , this has really interesting, this has been proven and numerous how we think about ourselves. if continually anxious to negative but actually does an impact on

our because our cells feel in layman's sad which can actually provoke things like migraines like like digestive issues . so like like digestive issues. so finding that purpose and being kind to ourselves is one of the main ways that we lead more happy and healthy lives. unfortunately at the moment i would say there is a concerted effort to stop that. i think that the media of global organisations you know, this they're trying to invoke trying to invoke fear. they're trying to invoke trying to invoke fear . and what that to invoke fear. and what that actually does is it makes you sicker because it's your cells feel sad they feel anxious and it creates problems. katie, what do you think about the tool? i'm not sure you're going to go. no, i'll it's all taken on us, though, by the stress of the last couple of years. oh no, i won't. hey, that's real. that's although people get slightly carried away , you know, they've carried away, you know, they've been shut in too long, and therefore, their mental or there's kids in prison who haven't got a mental illness. so things get, you know, exaggerate

acted or the fear and the problems are. but actually dr. laurie is doing the government a service . we've had years of this service. we've had years of this for a day panic on a plate about our food . you know it's time our food. you know it's time when you can't get an appointment you can't get hospital care you need you know having a nice diet and it's not going to give you heart surgery or save the friend of mine who this year from cancer or the friend of mine who came back and couldn't get into hospital last year who died without her husband by her side who they couldn't even diagnose. you know, let's get real . this is a know, let's get real. this is a way of really playing into the hands of those who have , you hands of those who have, you know, given us a really rubbish health service at the moment saying it's your responsibility it's what you eat, go out more andifs it's what you eat, go out more and it's christmas, it's what you eat and what it isn't what you eat and what it isn't what you eat and what it isn't what you eat . you know, there were you eat. you know, there were lots of things that we've eaten for hundreds of years that have caused us to be to die. you know, in truth , have a rubbish

know, in truth, have a rubbish health service. we have people living longer and older , more living longer and older, more fruitful lives than in history. we know . good tweet. it's we know. good tweet. it's christmas . i we know. good tweet. it's christmas. i don't we know. good tweet. it's christmas . i don't want to go to christmas. i don't want to go to the doctors with a cut finger and get what i last year how much to drink i've got to cut finger but you know much do you drink. acknowledging that it's a fact that chemicals that been put in our food whether it be seed whether it be you know seed oils whether it be you know so why are people living to 100 now but we're living we live in great lives the rates that are living longer it fluctuates all around the world. but this is not is people are living longer for their lives. the suffering with more health and what is putting food has a great impact and these things weren't put in our food hundred years ago. tess tess you've sparked you've sparked debate here in this in this studio . how do you respond this studio. how do you respond to that? you know, on the one hand, kerry, you know, encouraging people to not make demands upon a health service we

pay demands upon a health service we pay for. and that ought to be the dominique is more in accord with you that we've been you know, that we've been nudged into unhealthy . how do how into unhealthy. how do you how do reckon sell those two do you reckon sell those two different strains usually express points of view ? well, i express points of view? well, i think we have a disease centric health system and approach to health. so we all wait until we get a and then we go and get some some health care for that and.so some some health care for that and. so we miss a huge opportunity , prevent the disease opportunity, prevent the disease and. we need to change the way we look at and health and take risks if we take responsibility for health and we live in a healthy way way . well, it healthy way way. well, it doesn't mean you can't enjoy christmas, but . just it's just a christmas, but. just it's just a totally different approach . and totally different approach. and it's and it's about quality of life so that we can live as long as possible with the best possible health rather, having a

increasingly worsening health without getting a disease because one hasn't taken a good care of oneself . and then and care of oneself. and then and then having to go on drugs for then having to go on drugs for the rest of your life with with increasing health until one dies even if it is at 100. i'd rather live 100 and have a really good and healthy life and then lie down and on and then then have the last 50 years of my life having a whole lot drugs and i think we need to really reduce dependence on pharmaceutical drugs and interventions and, and surgery and all sorts of things. we need to reduce dependence on these things and rather and in in healthier ways not not least

because the nhs can't cope simply because it's, it's , it's simply because it's, it's, it's little, it's too much , a much little, it's too much, a much greater sense of well—being . but greater sense of well—being. but kerry isn't, there isn't the right thinking there that we, we have nudged into unhealthy of living. you know there's burgeoning evidence about as dominic says you know the oils that we cook our food in know years ago we were nudged to loaf high carbohydrate diet you know has proven to be counterproductive and yet we are and we are dependent upon and look to our health service to fix us when we make ourselves ill a lot of the time isn't there there is in there about there there is in there about the being a responsibility on us to be healthier which in our grasp . but you know i may be grasp. but you know i may be which you're talking to a whole different set of people now than i am. but people gen z and the

millennials, for example , are millennials, for example, are obsessed with their health . they obsessed with their health. they are narcissistic , bodily are narcissistic, bodily obsessed . and that's why. hang obsessed. and that's why. hang on let me finish. dominate veganism is huge. a plant based diet is huge. i don't know who dr. laurie is talking to. the idea that there's this you know, fad that older generation that's for the you know you can imagine it even happening where they say you can't health health care because you've made yourself obese. we're already seeing that an attempt to deny smokers access to health care. but what i want to go mountain climbing, have an accident. i want a health system. i'm sorry, but have an advanced health care possibilities and afraid. this interference in what we eat, dnnk interference in what we eat, drink and how we run our lives drink and how werun’purlives i antithetical anyone drink and how werdn'durlives i antithetical anyone who find antithetical anyone who likes liberty and freedom and to a belief that don't have commonsense . we've got it all.

commonsense. we've got it all. you can google any disease and symptoms you like my help to do what you like and expect health service in whatever form to . fix service in whatever form to. fix it for you or shouldn't you to . it for you or shouldn't you to. it's not that's not the point . i it's not that's not the point. i think. not dominic's point think. it's not dominic's point you do you view it more as attack on who become ill attack on those who become ill and expect treatment . i don't and expect treatment. i don't think that was her point at all her point was that there are methods that we can use to prevent those diseases developing in the first place. and pharmaceutical industries and the nhs and even the gp's that we go to much of the time treating the symptoms of the disease are not the actual actually they're more obsessed with prevention than ever before. i mean that's not my example of example with the you know the mass use of things like antidepressants despite the fact there are studies coming out saying that our our eyes aren't actually helpful because the problem isn't actually lack of serotonin that causes . so is serotonin that causes. so is this dependent on things like the nhs when ? there are things the nhs when? there are things that we can well gp so test you

can see this works passionate debate . how do you put oil in debate. how do you put oil in these troubled waters ? well, i these troubled waters? well, i think i could just say, you know what , if one looks at the food what, if one looks at the food that's in the supermarkets , that's in the supermarkets, there's a lot of very it's all very long lives and you'll, as one of your guests pointed out these things, that there are a lot of chemicals that added to our foods . and so and lots of our foods. and so and lots of pesticides added to our vegetable and fruits. so it really is these there's a whole lot of other things that are added and processing that goes on in the that's available and that's kind of sold to us as healthy . so you know, we're healthy. so you know, we're really encouraging people to look at what . they eat and eat look at what. they eat and eat and eat , eat

look at what. they eat and eat and eat, eat whole foods, eat things . you can identify . and things. you can identify. and you know, and prepare head rather than have food that's prepared at all in a factory somewhere. and you don't really what's gone into it . yeah it's what's gone into it. yeah it's is something that i think polarises people i think there is that there's the two outages there one that you should be able to eat what you and do what you like and the medical science is there pick the pieces is there to pick up the pieces or holistic approach that or a holistic approach that suggests differently suggests if you live differently , you can that you can, as you say, take responsibility for preventing the decline and i think the wonderful is that everybody has a choice , you everybody has a choice, you know, so one can choose. and i think this is really for people who are not that well if you are feeling absolutely well then there's no reason to . but there's no reason to. but everybody has a choice and if you're not feeling well, then you're not feeling well, then you're not feeling well, then you're not an optimal health. well they things you can do well they are things you can do and the best place to start is looking at your diet and are

these things that i'm eating because you know that is the fuel that's going in that's going to be driving you and your energy levels for the day your general sense of well—being so you know that's a really good to start is looking at your diet and the whatever you're on and the drugs you're taking and the activities you're doing the people you're hanging out with that the media you're consuming because. if you watch a lot of really negative media and murder and mayhem all the time will going to take a toll. then i slaughter mental health just run out of time again is, a fascinating debate. it's a fascinating debate. it's a fascinating and it's been a pleasure talking to once again. thank you . after the break, thank you. after the break, joined by a farmer who's transforming his land to support wildlife. see in 3 minutes. this time .

welcome back to gb news back with back for the time in my flight make me a child again just for tonight a farmer is hoping to turn back time on his so as to encourage the return of the wildlife he saw there in his alex bates who farms in rochester is working with royal society for the protection of and others to restore the fortunes of 80 hectares of wetland . good evening alex. good wetland. good evening alex. good evening, sir. you walked into a very angry room. you will. now you'll know. you'll never know . you'll know. you'll never know. you will now reset the, balance and bring back some of you always lived and farmed where you are . no, no my father bought you are. no, no my father bought the with his partner about 40 years ago so i up on the farm i've always lived in the country . mm. i was brought up on the farm but we never lived on the farm. right. so describe to me what it was when you were a lot

and the way in which you saw it change when i was little at this point of wildlife are plenty of birds of all various breeds and sizes and everything . and over sizes and everything. and over the years i've just disappeared . right. and the whole point of the project is bring them back. what kind of a what range are you talking about here? was more than you could count was i was with a rich habitat of mammals? 40 years ago? yes. instantly because i always noticed now when i drive in summertime because i always noticed now when i drive in summer time , my when i drive in summer time, my memory of driving a car in summertime , it would get summertime, it would get splattered with insect life on the windscreen and on the ball. you know, that just doesn't happen. all know. and that happen. all you know. and that drop off. so is it down to the tiny as well that you seeing disappear of course had done to insects the flowers the plants everything it's not just one thing it's a holy consistency disappeared over time . and is disappeared over time. and is that can i just also is that more drainage and stuff going on where you are because it's

marshland it and what's being grown or and obviously we've had drought this year but not as bad as what was what was the last really hot time was it 60 to 67 or something like 76 was that was the famously summer up until until rather than drainage it was it was a drought that did for the hectares you're talking like this year been particularly dry . and the rains have actually dry. and the rains have actually started earlier they did last year so we've had a really rejoice everything's dried up and then the rains have a month earlier so now we're really wet but because the ground to a halt it's so instead of sort of soaking in sort of sitting top of it running off right, it's a lot to do with . loss of habitat lot to do with. loss of habitat . a lot has happened around the area the last 40 years. the climate seasons have changed so much of it and so is it that you can do then if you're up against

nature in terms of variation , nature in terms of variation, climate, less rainfall as . well, climate, less rainfall as. well, as modern techniques are around you what have you realistically been able do to reinstate was right we got liddle information of all the fields we're working on tell us about that. first of all relied on is basically a system where you can read all the levels that used to be that all now and everything and you can work backwards from there little information working epa and the asb and we basically we're putting the land back to what it was 40 years ago. obviously for years it's had cattle go over the land , had cattle go over the land, had dust coming , various other dust coming, various other aspects changed the land. so i'm basically scratching it all back and holding the water in hopefully holding water. so you can't. so you can't. i mean, obviously you can't raise the water table . so you're trying to water table. so you're trying to

see all in the water somehow. yeah well so you're almost turning it into mini reservoirs to the grapes so they've got real so you've got a real that's a very shallow indent in a field and over the years they just flatten a riddle a real a real a real. so what i'm basically doing is scraping the reals out . so it's a real ditch sort of, but it's not it's a like a block a foot deep. okay where ticks can be any depth. so i'm really doing is going to digital reels and scraping out to what they used to be . so when it rains used to be. so when it rains instead of rain hitting sort of a channel, right, that it's going to be the same depth but 20 foot wide. so instead of it off, it will stay where it's got to be. how long have you at this how long a process of rehabilitation and have you been involved with the boots on the

ground start it september this year it's been four years in the planning with all the paperwork natural england consultancies had all the bird watchers. now if we do various bird watches every year to see the state the birds movement last year the delay with natural england it's obviously all the covid stuff, but literally we've been doing it since september this are the animals back ? are they coming animals back? are they coming back? yes are two weeks ago we had our first big flock lapwing . okay. that we've not had for a couple of years now. so yes, it is bringing them back . what is bringing them back. what about the look? i mean, are you able to at it from above, for example? you know, can you see it bird's eye view it as well, a bird's eye view and see the of re—instate what you're doing. yes. i thought the run . so i'll put the drone up in run. so i'll put the drone up in the air and i can see everything what's changing. i can see the coming. but obviously if i drive

around the farm which a delivery day anyway you can see all the birds are sitting down and feeding what do other farmers around what doing? around you think of what doing? are you island ? an oasis of are you an island? an oasis of surrounded by big agri? no so we've got rspb i saw both sides and they've really this project. so it's basically whole north kent the marshes we're we're joining up the whole north kent do this project the next landowner to me can loan fungicide they're also doing the project as well think they're starting in january so they're doing so it should be the whole nonh doing so it should be the whole north kent will be doing the project and it come on the balance being struck i balance still being struck i mean are you still are you still are people still growing crops , are people still growing crops, raising livestock for food as well as. yeah leaving bricks for nature to re—establish itself. yeah. can ask a question just two things. firstly they used to be a thing called set aside is

that and i understood that have been phased where you would actually you it carried on even past i thought the end the eu you would farmers could get a certain amount of cash not do you know certain hedgerows and whatever but i thought that got phased out and been replaced by something called habitat but i understood that got phased out as well. so all i'm asking, understood that got phased out as well. so all i'm asking , can as well. so all i'm asking, can you get is there any cash for farmers to give up more productive land because a real concern for a lot of cash strapped farmer, especially you kind of sheep farmers you don't really want at a time of food insecurity really want to be exactly putting productively. and the second thing is, you know completely appreciate what you're doing. i'm sure, all of us do. and lots of people will. it's very exciting and surrounded by. but sanctuaries and waterfowl trusts . and it but and waterfowl trusts. and it but there is a broader project of rewilding all over the shop. you read about this and it's awful. it's terrible things. what do

you say that alex? is there a balance to be struck and is it being unbalanced ? yes, i'm one being unbalanced? yes, i'm one of the lucky ones because the ground i'm doing has we've never put a plan on the ground to food. it's literally for the cattle , the sheep, the bonus of cattle, the sheep, the bonus of doing this is when the water stays in, the grass will come back richer and greener yeah, so it's actually better for the cattle right where if you're going crops it is detrimental to growing crops because obviously if you're crops, that's your main living. so you do if you do it right. you end up with a win win situation. yeah, i'm in a lucky position. it's a win win situation on the on the farming for the ploughing and cropping, so to speak , that side. but the so to speak, that side. but the whole that i'm doing, it's literally just covered cattle and sheep much of the year round . going to have to move on there. alex alex beets farmer and rewild, thank you so much for coming in this evening. i'm so good to keep up with the project as it develops. after the break we'll meet this week's

britain, who encourages britain, a woman who encourages older that older people to use that experience help see you. and experience to help see you. and three minutes . of

welcome back to neil oliver live tomorrow on gb news. we'll you an exclusive interview with the former leader of the liberal democrats serving cable. he tells gloria de piero about his decision to cover up stroke he had while being the leader the party. mr. cable also reflected on his time working alongside the tories during the liberal democrat under david cameron . democrat under david cameron. here's a taste of what he had to say. michael has mature , i say. michael has mature, i think, become quite an interesting politician , more interesting politician, more open minded . interesting politician, more open minded. but at the time it was a real clever dig to score the last point in, any conversation and always had to try and get way. so yeah , they try and get way. so yeah, they varied but you've learnt to the

attitude i had to stories i work with, particularly those in my department was , you know, leave department was, you know, leave your weapons at the door because i've got a job to do. by and large, they're respected on. i'm fascinated by. it doesn't. the examples about michael gove being a clever dick. examples about michael gove being a clever dick . well, you being a clever dick. well, you have to have the last word in any cabinet discussion with anybody was quite witty with it, but the you know, you realise the person . you can watch the the person. you can watch the full interview with vince cable on gloria meets from 6 pm. tomorrow. there will also be interviews with employment minister guy opperman , the minister guy opperman, the shadow minister for skills and further education, toby perkins . okay, it's no time to meet this week's great britain . our this week's great britain. our own modest recognise of the positive and hopeful empire that some people make on the world around them. retired occupational therapist rosemary fletcher has been volunteering in various capacities for 35 years, most recently she has

been encouraging senior people to follow her example and give of the time and perhaps more important that experience for the communities of stirling, falkirk and clackmannanshire . falkirk and clackmannanshire. rosemary joins me now from home in stirling and in the studio with me is nick walker. the country senior director at edwards lifesciences , rosemary , edwards lifesciences, rosemary, are you there? lovely to see you, rosemary . she should see you, rosemary. she should see you're. you're from my you're from my town . we are just almost from my town. we are just almost been about a mile so away . how been about a mile so away. how did you become involved ? all of did you become involved? all of this volunteering that you've been doing , rosemary ? well, many been doing, rosemary? well, many years ago . when i was a mother years ago. when i was a mother of cub, i put my hand up to say, yes, i would help at a cub camp that weekend and i've helping with the scouts ever since and then since i retired. i've been

volunteering with the retired and senior volunteer rsvp in around forth valley and the nhs in forth valley . and why . it's in forth valley. and why. it's almost. it's almost a rhetorical question but why is it in would you see to involve the senior demographic of the population volunteering as well as ? you volunteering as well as? you know we often hear about youngsters being invited to get involved involved . well when involved involved. well when people or become older if they after we retire work we don't lose our skills and experience . lose our skills and experience. we still got the skills and experience and that to be use to help continue to help the and to benefit others either younger people our own group just to use them use your skills and experience and it also means that people aren't getting

isolated at home but out and about. they can do things there's always going to be somewhere somebody that can volunteer for and help . what volunteer for and help. what kind of active it is? does your group are rsvp forth valley promote? what do you what do get the seniors doing . so we've got the seniors doing. so we've got ford and different groups. there's volunteers who are in an interest valley and the different hospitals . we also different hospitals. we also volunteer walk leaders who take people mainly older people walks different lengths , different different lengths, different every week . we have knitting every week. we have knitting groups people who can knit at home the knitting in which is then distribute far and wide . then distribute far and wide. and eastern europe the uk, scotland , all sorts of places . scotland, all sorts of places. and we also have volunteers as

older volunteers in schools , older volunteers in schools, helping children read, just helping children read, just helping with other anything that the teacher feels that a volunteer can do to young people . so it's a mixture of training where you want to find talent just turning to you. it seems sort obvious really in best possible way what rosemary sing that which we should of course be taking of this, of the element of the population because of all of that experience, because because of all that wisdom . exactly. and all that wisdom. exactly. and really that the example that rosemary setting here, i mean, it's phenomenal . i mean, the it's phenomenal. i mean, the amount of value she there about that the skills experience that she's able to pass to the younger generations . and this is younger generations. and this is part of something that we're 20. an initiative called generations which is about exactly that like right. rosemary doing using the experiences gained from you know running the scouts but also that the work that she did during covid where you're bringing in

people together across the generations. it's really powerful and also i hadn't actually thought about until rosemary said it's so beneficial those senior people you know because it prevents isolation and i suppose that self—imposed redundancy that maybe have after they stop working or whatever else. yeah, absolutely you know, and again during covid, i think was a real example of that where there's a real kind disconnect and actually as part of the, of the initiative we ran a survey of more than 2000 people across the uk as part of a wider european study and actually showed there was a large percentage of the over 60 fives that felt that they were quite disconnected during covid so that the initiatives that rosemary is doing and again bringing some of that that the that she's been working with the scouts the younger generations to and help across initiatives so things like come interaction across technology for example or even create mentorship programs

where the older generation can pass down their skills knowledge and training to the younger generations . so that's why it's generations. so that's why it's so important. and like you say that really helps with the that that really helps with the that that the isolation and some of the loneliness as well. rosemary next, talking about covid, obviously, what the how did you feel when that happened? you know, was so know, as someone who was so involved, know, so busy involved, you know, so, so busy , you know, with, you know, with being other being involved with other lives in way. it like in that way. what was it like when and lockdowns descended on your world? i suppose i thought, hell, what am i going to do now? because we were all told to stay home, particularly older people told to stay at home. but just after we had to withdraw all of the volunteer from the hospitals. i was asked if we could put in a meet and greet service at the local gp and minor injury centre . and that's minor injury centre. and that's what really, really me going dunng what really, really me going during covid because people came and volunteered younger people ,

and volunteered younger people, some older people, people on furlough from all walks life and they wanted to help the nhs and that experience of volunteering even for a short time helped them and helped lots of other people, hundreds of people in they got me through your your efforts and your contribution to the community you've been recognised at the highest. let's see . tell us about the what see. tell us about the what happenedin see. tell us about the what happened in 2021, the new year's honours . yes. so as in early honours. yes. so as in early december 2020, i was just looking at my junk mail and i saw this thing that said invite 21 honours. and i thought scam . 21 honours. and i thought scam. but it wasn't fortunately . i but it wasn't fortunately. i opened it and felt very humbled, very surprised that somebody had nominated me for volunteering in the nhs so that was a pleasant

surprise and all down to. i'm the representative a large body of volunteer years who did a lot work during covid. and i know this is what i was awarded for the time spent in the nhs , so the time spent in the nhs, so i didn't get it present too till just a year later down it . just a year later down it. windsor castle. and it was the princess royal that presented me with a award and it was very nice because in the house i used to work in the health service, i was an occupational therapist and apprentice on is the patron of the college of occupation set of the college of occupation set of pay. so that was a nice touch. she presented me with the award . rosemary it's lovely award. rosemary it's lovely talking to you. i wish , i had talking to you. i wish, i had longer to have a longer conversation with you, but you're, you're absolutely an example of, you know of the best of someone contributing of yourself, giving of your time to the community. and it's been lovely to just to share and

spend little of time with you. spend a little of time with you. thank so much for receiving and also thank you to you, nick it's just so inspiring . hear about just so inspiring. hear about that commitment that people can continue make and clearly being over 65 or whatever those those numbers are largely irrelevant , numbers are largely irrelevant, far as i can see. for those have gifts to draw upon and contributions to make . after the contributions to make. after the break . at a tough time for the break. at a tough time for the farming industry, i'll talk to a man who's christmas trees to help make ends meet. see you shortly shortly .

on mark dolan tonight the new early start time of 8 pm, we off with the people's hour in. i'll be taking your video calls of the nine. my big opinion monologue and us news with the queen of american media schofield plus my all star panel and tomorrow's papers and it

might take it ten i'll be deaung might take it ten i'll be dealing with woke lunatics to cancel christmas in the name of diversity . no one's pulling my diversity. no one's pulling my cracker that's mark dolan tonight on . gb news. welcome tonight on. gb news. welcome once again to neil oliver live , once again to neil oliver live, a 65 tonne tank that lasts for service during the cold war is being renovated ahead of . king being renovated ahead of. king charles coronation next. a team of volunteers from , the royal of volunteers from, the royal lancers and nottinghamshire museum at thorsby are scraping years of rust from coconut tank in an effort to save the machine for future generations. many of those fixing the tank are veterans who did similar jobs in veterans who did similarjobs in the armed forces . the museum the armed forces. the museum thinks it will cost around £10,000 to get to looking fresh from the we sent will haul us to find out more as restorations go they do get much bigger than

this . it's they do get much bigger than this. it's been they do get much bigger than this . it's been particularly they do get much bigger than this. it's been particularly bad as you can see the whole thing's rotted away so . that's going to rotted away so. that's going to take a lot more work than . the take a lot more work than. the other one, which is only got a patchwork it, 65 tonnes. the patchwork on it, 65 tonnes. the conqueror is the gate guardian at thorsby when the military museum in asked for volunteers to fix its new tank. it was easy, yes for army veteran gus . easy, yes for army veteran gus. i left in 93 and this is the first chance of i'd to work on a tank here and it's like cool we know it's really good we it because all the lads they all know what they're doing and they've all got specific and we just kind of help each other up to get the back. scratch the conqueror is covered in rust and more than a few holes to fill , more than a few holes to fill, which is where restoration expert who runs a paint business takes lead. what we've got here , all the bazooka plates side of the tank and they are blood shields to prevent them being bazookas go in and blowing the trucks off . i'm taking these
